Chapter 48: Madara or not? Zetsu’s Doubts
Funan smiled as he realized the Konoha Corrupt Quartet's plans. They want to use the Mangekyo's weak point. If used too many times, it will lose its light.
Are they going to consume it with a great reward? People on the black market know that a task of 100 million Ryo is equivalent to taking the head of one of the Kage of the Great Shinobi Villages, only a madman would take on such a task.
Funan raised his head and looked at Kakuzu.
Kakuzu quickly lowered his head, not wanting to look at the Mangekyo.
"You've already surrendered to me. Don't worry, I won't kill you." Funan said with a smile. "After all, you are still of great use to me."
Kakuzu felt relieved. 'As long as I was useful, I could stay alive.'
'Although Funan was a little deranged, as long as I could stay alive, it's no big deal to obey him.'
'Furthermore, a man as strong as him deserves that I am willing to follow him and serve him... Wait!'
'Why am I thinking like that?' Kakuzu frowned slightly. 'It's strange? It doesn't seem so strange, after all, if one is defeated, one should obey the victor.'
Kakuzu's eyebrows furrowed for a moment, then relaxed.
Funan kept staring at Kakuzu. After seeing his expression, he smiled slightly and said: "Kakuzu, I will give you a task now."
Funan's Mangekyo is still activated and little by little emits a strange energy.
Silently.
Without being able to be seen.
"Please continue." Kakuzu looked serious.
"Form a two-person team with him to hunt down those who try to kill me and exchange their heads for money." Funan said, pointing out to Hidan that he was still trapped.
Kakuzu frowned and said in a deep voice: "I can do it myself, I don't want this brat."
“No!” Funan flatly refused.
Just kidding, how can the Celebrity Couple, better known as the famous Zombie Combo, disappear? Readers wouldn't allow it!
With the Zombie Combo, many things would be much easier to do.
Kakuzu was clearly an elite Kage-level shinobi, and although Hidan's strength is slightly inferior, he still reached the level of Elite Jonin at his peak. Of course, he is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, and his strength has barely reached the Jonin stage. It doesn't matter! Just let Kakuzu train him a bit.
Kakuzu frowned and said: "This brat will only slow me down."
"Hey, who are you calling a brat? Believe it or not, I'll kill you!" Hidan heard Kakuzu's words and shouted angrily. "The Evil God will never forgive you."
“His ability is quite good.” Funan walked up to Hidan with a smile and looked directly into his eyes.
"What do you want to do... mmm!" As Kakuzu watched, Hidan's head was cut off by Funan.
'Because? Didn't I just say to take this brat with me? Why did he kill him the next moment?' Kakuzu's gaze became more cautious. 'This guy is a little fickle.'
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Why did you chop off my head? It hurts. Do you know?" Hidan was still yelling as Funan held his head in his hand.
Kakuzu murmured: "Immortal?"
"What do you think?" Funan looked at Kakuzu.
Kakuzu looked at Hidan with strange eyes and nodded slightly.
He has no objection. Immortality? It’s worth studying.
Although Kakuzu is not a scientific researcher like Orochimaru, he is equally interested in immortality.
Who wouldn't want to have a trump card like immortality? Otherwise, why did he become a traitor?
When he first obtained the Earth Grudge Fear, he also paid a huge price.
As for Hidan's blathering, how convenient, killing him wouldn't even require an excuse. Manually research immortality.
"And you?" Funan raised Hidan's head in front of him, looking him directly in the eyes with his Mangekyo.
"I..." Hidan opened his mouth, feeling an inexplicable chill in his heart, and curled his lips and said. "Hmph, okay, I will obey your orders for the time being. I also need to find a sacrifice for the Evil God."
"Very good!" Funan threw Hidan's head to Kakuzu and said: "I'll leave him to you. Sew his head up. If he doesn't obey, take it off and teach him a lesson."
"Understood!"
"Kakuzu, hunting down those who have received the mission is only a secondary task. Your main mission is in the country of fire."
Kakuzu was startled. "What are you going to do there?"
Funan whispered a few words, and Kakuzu's eyes immediately lit up.
"Understood. After I replenish my heart, I will immediately set off for the Land of Fire." Kakuzu's excitement was barely contained in his voice.
There is only one reason that can make him so excited: money!
"I'm optimistic about you!" Funan patted Kakuzu on the shoulder, handed him a token, and said with a smile: "I think this is the only way to maximize its value."
"You can be sure!" Kakuzu's words were full of respect.
Never underestimate the charm of money, it is an eternal truth.
"Go!"
"Yeah!" Kakuzu stepped forward, quickly connected Hidan's head with a black thread, and pulled him away quickly.
From the beginning to the end, Funan was with his Mangekyo active the entire time. He waited until their figures were completely out of sight before deactivating his Mangekyo.
"It consumes a lot of pupil power, and in such a short time, even the power of the Mangekyo has a very limited impact on these two people."
He had been manipulating the Uchiha, employing his Mangekyo Sharingan, for three full years.
Funan reflected: "But what Kakuzu is doing coincides with his interests, indirectly strengthening the influence of the Mangekyo."
"As for Hidan, with Kakuzu by his side, he won't be able to do tricks, and furthermore, the resistance of his immortal body against my Mangekyo technique is extremely poor. Perhaps he is the one who is trapped the most. "
After thinking about it, Funan decided to meet Kakuzu and Hidan again in a month, to further reinforce the influence of the Mangekyo Sharingan technique.
"Shisui, can your Kotoamatsukami compare to my Mangekyo technique? You're a one-time deal, but I'm taking the path of sustainable development." Funan covered one eye, chuckled, and headed back towards Kusagakure.
This time, Funan's trip would not be smooth at all.
The reward of one hundred million ryo had not been awarded to Kakuzu alone; He had simply been appointed to have priority, but others also had the right to accept the reward.
One hundred million ryo was enough to tempt numerous shinobi from the five great villages... Including the Kage.
It is precisely because of this reward that Uchiha Funan officially entered everyone's sight.
Although he has served as Chief of the Konoha Police Force, he is also the deputy leader of the enormous Uchiha clan and a high-level official in Konoha. However, all his news was deliberately concealed.
Until now, when his information could no longer be hidden.
The senior officials of several villages were thoughtful when looking at Uchiha Funan's information.
Has the Bloody Flame Uchiha Funan finally come out? How strong is he now?
Adolescence is a period of skill expansion. He must be stronger than three years ago, and even now, he still has not reached his peak. In addition, he and Konoha's Hokage have had a head-on conflict.
Based on this information, they also started some actions. Three or four years have passed since the Great Ninja War, and every village has recovered a certain amount of vitality.
Otherwise, Kumogakure would not have dared to force Konoha so much last year, which ultimately led to the sacrifice of Hyuga Hizashi of the Hyuga clan.
Although Kumogakure had more elements to scare Konoha at that time, if Konoha really chose to confront the enemy head-on, what would Kumogakure choose?
The Raikage is not a good-tempered person. In comparison, the Hokage is a person with too good a temper.
…
[Pffft!]
"Ahh!"
With a miserable scream, a shinobi was absorbed by Funan, turning him into a dry corpse. His whole life was absorbed by the fruit.
On his body, the Eye Technique Fruit trembled.
The Sage Mode Fruit has already been absorbed by Funan, and now he has one more trump card... The power of Senjutsu. In other words, he can already give Susanoo a tattoo.
Funan, already powerful in itself, had now acquired the power of Senjutsu. Who should he fear?
At this moment, as he walked, Funan felt quite detached, as if he had no rival in the world.
“Now I have my tattoos, because I should be afraid of the Konoha Corrupt Quartet! If they don't agree, I just have to hit them." Funan took a cigarette and lit it. "The Uchiha gang's performance begins!"
The next thing is to improve the level of the Eye Technique and Fire Release Fruits.
Level 3 (Fire Release)
Level 4 (Eye Technique)
Mainly, focused on the fruit of the Eye Technique. Funan's goal is to obtain the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!
"It's close. I hope that before I return, my Mangekyo will rise to the Eternal Mangekyo."
Although the possibilities are slim.
The higher the level of the fruit, the more life energy is needed.
If Funan's skills are converted to fruit level, his Fire Release and Eye Technique would have reached level 6. Wanting to advance to Level 7 is not an easy task. The life energy required is really huge.
"Come!" Funan looked at the few ninjas who were getting closer, laughed wildly, and said: "You are the prey that came to me on your own initiative."
"I, Uchiha Madara, will make you dance to death under my power."
[Boom!]
Bloody flames rose into the sky.
"Ahahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
Funan laughed wildly and attacked extremely violently.
In the darkness, a pair of eyes stared dumbly. “Hey, Black Zetsu, did I see it wrong? Is he really Uchiha Madara?”
“Nonsense, you and I handled Uchiha Madara’s body, how could he be Uchiha Madara!” A gloomy voice sounded, but there was a hint of obvious doubt in the voice.
He looks a lot alike! His behavior, especially this crazy attitude, are exactly like Uchiha Madara's.
Black Zetsu himself didn't believe it when he said that the two had nothing to do with each other.
“Could it be that he is another back-up of Uchiha Madara?”
"This..." After hearing White Zetsu's words, Black Zetsu also hesitated. "What kind of back-up plan could it be?"
“Madara’s son?”
“This…” Black Zetsu was completely shocked. 'Is it possible that Madara left a son before he died? And he wasn't a virgin?'
'What the hell, who took away his first time?' Black Zetsu felt angry. ''Madara really hid such a thing from me! No, what am I thinking about?' Black Zetsu glared at White Zetsu. 'This idiot is trying to influence me with his ideas.'
Uchiha Funan only looks like Uchiha Madara, but he definitely can't be Madara's son. He trusts Madara, who was an arrogant man. And he just believed that women only slow down his seal formation speed!
"Careful!" Suddenly, Withe Zetsu screamed and quickly merged with the earth.
Funan glanced in the direction where Zetsu disappeared, feeling a little suspicious.
"That was Zetsu, right?"
"I'll let it go this time. Next time we meet, I'll capture you alive."
"One hundred thousand White Zetsu, tsk tsk..."
…
Konohagakure.
Danzo was dismissed from all his positions by the Hokage due to the incident involving the five shinobi clans of Ino-Shika-Cho, Aburame, and Inuzuka. Although he still retains his freedom, his influence has been considerably reduced.
Due to the conflict between Ino-Shika-Cho and the Hokage faction, the Hokage's prestige in the village was further affected. Many shinobi in the village began to question Hiruzen.
Koharu and Homura took charge of reorganizing the Root. From this point of view, the Uchiha clan seems to be the winner, but no one cares.
Because the Uchiha clan, like Danzo, is extremely unpopular in the village. How many people hate them so much that their teeth itch.
When Funan left, many eyes fell on the Uchiha. They wanted to see if there was anything unusual about them.
If the Uchiha clan has any intention of ascending to the position of Hokage, it is estimated that Ino-Shika-Cho and the Hokage faction will join forces again to attack the Uchiha clan.
Danzo is terrible, but he needs to trust the Hokage. He is a lackey of the Hokage. Just like now, if he is fired he will lose all of his rights.
But the Uchiha clan is powerful on its own!
Therefore, before leaving, Funan gave an order to Yashiro and the others to keep an eye on everyone and not allow any abnormal behavior. Anyone who violates the rules will be arrested directly.
Everyone is treated equally, with no exceptions for anyone.
