Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Between Lightning and Fire
Funan stood up, looked in the direction of Kumogakure, sneered, and said: "Let's beat these guys first!"
He looked at Fugaku and said in a deep voice: "Kill these guys as quickly as possible. I still have to go to Kirigakure. The little beauty Terumi Mei gave me a surprise, and I also want to give a gift in return. Haha, I like to give surprises to beautiful women the most."
Despite the smile on Funan's face, those present felt a chill run through their bodies.
The sound of the war horn echoed through the air, but this time... it was Konoha who blew it.
Three thousand Konoha shinobi advanced slowly, with the Uchiha in the vanguard.
Kumogakure immediately began to respond.
The Raikage stared at the opposite side with a sharp look.
"Come on, start!"
A blood-red Susanoo appeared on the battlefield.
Fugaku also activated Susanoo.
Two giants now dominated the battlefield, imposing their presence.
"Summoning Technique!"
Funan summoned the giant Three-Tails to the battlefield.
"Hmph!" A growl was heard from the Kumogakure side.
The huge Eight-Tails appeared on the battlefield, staring at Konoha coldly.
"Hey, hey, Bee, is our opponent that Uchiha Funan?" The Eight-Tails' voice echoed in Killer Bee's mind.
"This guy is very dangerous."
"I know!" Killer Bee's face was also not good.
In his heart, he and Funan have a common language, and the two are like-minded comrades, but the positions of both sides are destined to make them hostile.
"You talk like it's easy!" The Eight-Tails replied with a resigned tone. "Look at the situation on the opposite side. This battle is really not easy to fight. It is likely that you and I will die here."
Killer Bee frowned. "Don't worry, big brother is here too!"
"...Okay!"
The Raikage is indeed very strong and can share a lot of pressure. Moreover, their numerical advantage is too obvious.
At this time, Funan laughed again.
"Do you really think that's all? You're wrong!"
"There is also this!"
"Summoning technique!"
With another shout from Funan, a huge creature nearly a hundred meters tall appeared before everyone.
"What...?" The Eight-Tails was completely perplexed.
The Raikage was also stunned.
Funan had first summoned Katsuyu in front of a crowd.
"My, my!" Katsuyu exclaimed, her tone delicate and not befitting of her appearance. "Funan, I wonder if you'll ever be able to summon my full body."
"I don't know." Funan replied frankly. "But my power is still increasing. I'm sure I'll be able to do it soon."
"I'm looking forward to that day!" Katsuyu laughed. "Now what do you need me to do? Don't tell me it's another explosive tags strategy..."
"Heal the shinobi of Konoha!" Funan gave an order. "We've already used that tactic once, and I'm sure they'll be prepared by now. It's time to change the plan. Of course, some extra clones can try it if they want."
"Okay!" Katsuyu said.
Katsuyu then began to split her body into small slugs, which slithered towards the Konoha shinobi.
In response, the Konoha shinobi felt a little uncomfortable, but under the orders of their superiors, they gritted their teeth and persisted.
After all, this is a life-saving thing. Others want it but don't have the chance!
Meanwhile, the rest of the slugs, loaded with explosive tags, headed towards Kumogakure.
The Raikage's expression turned serious.
Unexpectedly, Funan had such a trick. This is a bit troublesome.
"Fugaku! It's time to attack!"
"Understood!" Fugaku replied with a roar, and his Susanoo charged at the Eight-Tails.
"Yahoo!" The Eight-Tails yelled and punched Fugaku fiercely.
Fugaku blocked it and punched back.
[Bang!]
The collision of the two behemoths officially began.
Funan laughed loudly, and a blood-colored magatama slowly condensed in his hand.
At the same time, a group of figures jumped out, surrounding Funan's Susanoo, and in the blink of an eye, a faint blue glow formed a barrier around it.
"A barrier?" Funan looked at those people in surprise.
Each of those shinobi radiated a strength comparable to Kakashi's.
These people are the real trump cards of Kumogakure!
"Zehahaha! Perfect! This situation is ideal to test some of my ideas..."
Funan sneered, and the blood-colored magatama began to slowly fuse into the Susanoo's fist.
"Look at my Bloody Fist!"
[Boom!]
Funan struck the barrier, but a tremendous rebound force sent him reeling. At the same time, a torrent of lightning fell upon him.
Fortunately, the Susanoo absorbed most of the impact.
He was stunned!
Is this barrier so powerful?
He turned his head to look at the shinobi maintaining the barrier, and upon seeing them, he let out a sigh of relief.
These shinobi also looked half dead, their breath was weak, and many of them were bleeding from the corners of their mouths.
"I'm going to destroy you!" After recovering, Funan raised the Susanoo's greatsword and began to strike the barrier furiously.
The barrier began to tremble wildly.
"Ugh!" One of the shinobi exclaimed, feeling a chill run down his spine as he breathed raggedly, his body trembling slightly.
"Darui-sama, if this goes on, we won't be able to hold out for long!" A shinobi shouted.
"We have to hold out even if we can't hold out for long!" Darui looked grim and said coldly: "Think about what would happen if we let this dangerous guy out. How many of our comrades would die?"
[Boom!!!]
A gigantic shockwave hit them from within the barrier, causing Darui and the others to spit out blood.
Before they could recover, another powerful wave of energy attacked them from outside.
"No!!!"
A shinobi shouted, and the barrier shattered.
The shinobi who had set up the barrier also fell to the ground.
"Well done Three-Tails! The timing of this Tailed Beast Ball was perfect."
The Susanoo moved forward as Funan smiled and looked at the few people who had set up the barrier.
"The game is over. Although it has just begun, I appreciate your efforts and grant you death!"
Darui stared at Funan, suddenly smiled slightly, and said: "Indeed, the game is over!"
"Huh?"
A flash of lightning struck the Susanoo directly, where Funan was.
[Crack!]
At that instant, Susanoo shattered.
At the same time, Funan was pierced and the whole person was taken out of Susanoo.
As Funan was thrown into the air, his gaze fixed on that lightning bolt with icy cold eyes.
"Die!" The Raikage's deafening roar still echoed as he transformed into a bolt of lightning and attacked Funan with astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, Funan's body was torn apart.
The Raikage stopped, his gaze cold.
"No, he's still alive!" Cee suddenly shouted. "Raikage-sama, behind you!"
A figure had already appeared behind the Raikage, his hands already formed a seal.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Blood-colored flames coiled around the Raikage.
The Raikage, transformed into a bolt of lightning, dodged at high speed. When he reappeared, he was already above Funan's head.
"Lightning Straight!"
The Mangekyo Sharingan rotated slightly in Funan's eyes, and a layer of armor appeared in front of Funan, blocking the fierce attack.
[Boom!]
"Guillotine Drop!"
The Raikage gave Funan no respite and launched his next attack with a downward kick.
[Bang!]
A giant red bone hand suddenly appeared, sending the Raikage flying.
In the blink of an eye, the giant skeleton of Susanoo appeared again.
With a powerful boost, the Susanoo charged towards the Raikage.
[Bang!]
The Susanoo's arms intertwined and struck the Raikage, burying him into the ground.
What followed was a hail of punches.
"I'll give you a good beating!"
[Bang! Bang! Bang!]
"Water Release: Water Bullet Technique!"
A water dragon rushed towards Funan.
Funan didn't even turn his head and said coldly: "Darui, you're looking for death!"
Darui, with a stern expression, continued to form hand seals.
"Lightning Release: Wave of Inspiration!"
Lightning bolts ran through the water flow, heading towards Funan.
The water quickly spread across the area, followed by a barrage of lightning that surrounded the Susanoo.
Even Funan, despite being protected by the Susanoo, frowned slightly at such an attack.
Darui's third technique arrived at that precise moment.
"Storm Release: Laser Circus!"
Countless lasers, rushing towards Funan from all angles.
"Hateful rat!"
Funan shouted coldly, and Susanoo began to enter the second stage, and then quickly started the third stage.
All the attacks crashed against the Susanoo, but they made no dent in it.
Funan raised his hand, and Susanoo followed suit. A huge amount of energy appeared in his hand, forming a blood-colored magatama.
"Darui, let me take you to hell! Watch me blow you to pieces!"
Funan sneered.
"Hokage, don't forget, I'm still here!"
A massive force suddenly attacked, launching the Susanoo into the sky.
"Good opportunity!"
Darui immediately formed a seal again.
Black thunder appeared and hit Susanoo flying in the sky.
Others followed suit and attacked.
[Boom!]
Countless ninjutsu and explosive tags flew towards Funan.
The sky rumbled with explosions.
The attacks ceased and the Susanoo that had broken in several places fell to the ground.
"We did it!" A Kumo-nin shouted excitedly.
Defeating Uchiha Funan meant that Konoha would no longer be a threat.
However, the other Kumo-nin remained serious.
Cee couldn't sense Funan's presence, but a sense of latent danger still permeated the area.
Suddenly Cee detected it and turned his head sharply. "Be careful!"
[Puff!]
The Kumo-nin who had shouted excitedly looked at the hand that had pierced his chest in astonishment. He was completely bewildered.
"Young man, never forget that until the last second, no one can say that they have won." Funan's voice sounded calm and mocking behind him. "Go see the Sage of Six Paths and tell him what I just told you."
[Puff!]
Funan pulled out her hand, then looked coldly at the Raikage.
"How... under that attack...?" The Raikage asked, gritting his teeth.
"The attack was strong, but unfortunately, it never reached me." Funan spread his hands and said: "After burying you in the ground, what you saw was just a shadow clone. My real body has been standing by, watching you attack silently, do you understand?"
