Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Orochimaru’s Schemes and Funan’s Fun
"Raikage-sama." Mei suddenly spoke up and said: "Can I talk to you alone?"
The Raikage glanced at Mei and nodded slightly.
The two walked aside and talked in a low voice.
Funan watched them carefully. If they made any strange movements, their eyes would immediately transform into the Mangekyo.
His gaze was terrifying.
"Hey!" Pakura couldn't stand it anymore and said unhappily: "Your eyes are about to pop out, what are you looking at?"
"Nonsense!" Funan said confidently: "Although it is said that a man as ugly as the Raikage may not be liked by women, who can be sure that Mei-chan will not have strange tastes?"
Three people froze at the same time.
Pakura was speechless.
The other two didn't know what face to make.
They were furious, but somehow, they were already used to it.
So the conversation between Mei and the Raikage ended quickly.
Mei came over and said unhappily: "Hokage-sama, I don't know what you're thinking about all day. I just discussed the cooperation between the two villages with Raikage-sama."
"Haha, I believe you, Mei, no need to explain." Funan smiled brightly, indicating that he believed in the other party.
Mei: "..."
Do I need you to believe me?
Am I explaining to you just now?
What's the relationship between you and me?
The Raikage sat down coldly and said: "Hokage, you can leave."
"What's the matter?" Funan said unhappily: "You want to drive me away specifically, what do you want to do?"
"Two beauties, you have to be careful, this guy, who knows what bad things he might be up to!?"
"Uchiha Funan!"
The Raikage finally couldn't help it, roared, and punched the table hard.
[Bang!]
A huge arm slapped out fiercely, and the Raikage flew away directly.
On the ground, he rolled and crawled all the way for several hundred meters.
"Haha, goodbye!"
Funan took back the Susanoo arm that slapped the Raikage away, waved his hand, and said: "Brothers, let's go!"
[Swish!]
The next moment he disappeared from the place.
The Uchiha guards, along with the young men who had just been promoted to Chunin, quickly followed.
[Bang!]
The Raikage reappeared, covered in lightning, with an expression so fierce that even demons would flee in fear.
Pakura and Mei were also stunned.
"Okay, great, Uchiha Funan, I'll remember you!" The Raikage said, panting in fury, with a guttural roar.
"Zehahaha!"
The only answer he got was Funan's wild laughter.
Killer Bee, who had been watching, smiled bitterly.
He could intervene to stop Funan from leaving, but at that point, stopping him would only make things worse.
The Raikage probably didn't want to stop them, otherwise, he would have given the order long ago.
Funan, along with the Uchiha guards, ran at full speed, and in the blink of an eye they were already out of Kumo.
Thus, Funan left Kumo without any problems.
The echo of the Raikage's roar still resonated in the air.
…
In a cold underground.
The hissing sound continued.
Orochimaru walked through the snakes with an expressionless face.
Next to him, a young man with glasses followed silently.
Kabuto!
He disappeared when the melee in Kumogakure began.
Even Funan could not find his whereabouts.
Soon, both of them arrived in front of a large glass cylinder, staring fixedly at the experimental subject floating inside, without saying a word.
"My, my, Orochimaru." A deep voice echoed as space distorted, and a figure appeared out of nowhere.
One-eyed, tiger-striped mask!
Obito!
Orochimaru said coldly without even turning his head: "You are really good. You have included me in the scheme."
"We never thought those Kumo shinobi could stop you."
Orochimaru sneered and said: "Where is the thing I want?"
Obito looked at Orochimaru and said nothing.
Orochimaru stared at Obito coldly, with murderous intent gathering.
This time, Orochimaru had invested all his resources, bringing with him his best men to collaborate with Akatsuki.
Because the price given by Akatsuki made him unable to refuse.
Who knew that Akatsuki would actually scheme against him.
Although this was to be expected, he never thought that the other party would be so cruel and throw him right into the middle of the Kumo shinobi, and even face the Two-Tails Jinchuriki alone.
From the beginning, Akatsuki wanted to kill him.
The murderous aura on Orochimaru became more and more intense.
Kabuto, though already quite strong, was forced to back away under the pressure. But in his eyes, what could be seen was not fear, but excitement.
"You say your name is Uchiha Madara. I would really like to test how much of a difference there is between my power and that of the feared Shura of the shinobi world."
Orochimaru grinned and said: "By the way, Funan-kun also calls himself Uchiha Madara. I wonder if that Uchiha Madara would be interested in meeting you."
Obito's breathing became agitated for a brief moment.
Orochimaru noticed his reaction and smiled even wider, amused.
Suddenly, space distorted.
Two flasks and an unconscious person appeared in front of Orochimaru.
Inside one of the jars was an eye: a Sharingan. In the other, a piece of flesh, flesh and blood of the Senju Clan. As for the unconscious person, he was wearing the uniform of the Uchiha Clan.
Obito said slowly: "This is what you want."
Seeing this, Orochimaru's expression finally eased a little.
"This is not enough." Orochimaru's voice was still cold.
"Of course I can't give you the rest now!" Obito said slowly: "We still need the other tailed beasts, and those medicines you've been working on, Orochimaru, have been of great use to us."
"Haha, haha!" Orochimaru laughed almost crazily, and said: "Do you really think you can manipulate me that easily?"
Obito's voice also turned cold, and he said: "If you don't agree, I will kill you now."
"Oh!" Orochimaru replied in a defiant tone.
They both looked at each other in a tense confrontation.
Obito said coldly: "Don't act like we're the only ones playing dirty. Didn't you get what you wanted in Kumogakure, Orochimaru?"
He glanced at Kabuto.
Orochimaru restrained his murderous aura and said: "This time, you gave too little. Don't forget how many of my subordinates I sacrificed."
"It doesn't matter how many of those trash die." Obito said coldly: "Don't tell me that you, Orochimaru, are a person who cares about your subordinates."
He pointed at the three things in front of him and said: "I think you should understand how precious the flesh and blood of the direct descendants of the Senju clan are, even if they are cultivated by us."
"A three-tomoe Sharingan. Ever since Uchiha Funan appeared, it's become increasingly difficult to get one. Do you have any idea how much I paid for a three-tomoe Sharingan and a living Uchiha jonin?"
"Orochimaru, don't push your luck."
With that, he disappeared from the spot.
Looking at the place where he disappeared, Orochimaru suddenly said: "Kabuto, have you noticed that this guy who calls himself Uchiha Madara seems to be very afraid of Funan-kun."
Kabuto said cautiously: "Orochimaru-sama, I think there are few people who are not afraid of that Hokage."
Orochimaru: "... Including me?"
Kabuto was silent.
Orochimaru grinned.
"However, Funan-kun is such an interesting person, we must communicate more."
Orochimaru laughed.
"I think so too. I am such a good person. How many people in the shinobi world want to be friends with me, but I didn't agree. I just took a fancy to people like Orochimaru-san."
A sudden voice interrupted the conversation.
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed, and his body quickly lunged to the side.
[Bang!]
A stone wall stopped his movement.
"Orochimaru-san, where are you going? Seeing an old friend, your reaction is very wrong."
Funan's teasing voice sounded.
Funan stood in front of Orochimaru, accompanied by four members of the Uchiha Clan.
"Funan!" Orochimaru said with a serious expression. "How did you know I was here?"
The man in the mask?
No, impossible. It can't be him.
Then who?
His eyes turned to Kabuto.
"Don't look around, Orochimaru-san" Funan smiled and said: "I think this little guy is very interesting, so please don't hurt him, okay? Otherwise, I will be angry..."
He smiled brilliantly, but Orochimaru felt a chill in his heart.
"Of course! If you ask, Funan-kun, I wouldn't dare to refuse."
Orochimaru stared at him before adding: "In Kumogakure, the force that helped us resist... belongs to Funan-kun, right?"
Funan clapped repeatedly while smiling. "Orochimaru-san, you are really very smart, how could you guess that?"
Hearing this, Orochimaru grinned.
"It's surprising... I didn't imagine that Funan-kun had such a deep network and such a powerful force in Kumogakure."
During Orochimaru and Akatsuki's joint attack on Kumogakure, another formidable force had become involved.
The leader of said group had brought the power of wind release to its maximum splendor, so much so that even Orochimaru had been secretly impressed.
He couldn't believe it was one of Funan's men.
Orochimaru didn't know that this person, who had mastered wind release to such a level, had already blew himself up.
If Orochimaru had known this, he would have thought a lot more about it.
Funan smiled slightly and said: "I have these eyes, and I can do anything very easily."
The smile on Orochimaru's face was a little forced.
Genjutsu...
He has always been envious of these eyes.
At one point, he had even attempted to seize Funan's body by force.
Of course, the result was that Funan had defeated him brutally.
If it hadn't been for his cunning, his grave might already have grass growing several meters high.
However, he had not given up on his ambition. In the Uchiha clan, apart from Funan, there were still many other valuable members.
Even... Funan might not be completely safe.
Someday he would make a careless mistake, and at that moment, Orochimaru would be ready to act.
