Chapitre 98: Chapter 98: The Price of Provocation
"How far is it from here to the border?" Funan asked.
Kakashi immediately said: "It's less than thirty miles away. At the border, the village has deployed more than a thousand ninjas, and there is a barrier. It's not so easy for Kumogakure to break through."
"In addition, according to the information just obtained, Kumogakure has no intention of attacking."
Funan nodded slightly and then suddenly asked: "How have the Land of Snow, Land of Rice Fields and the Land of Iron reacted?"
If Kumo and Konoha went to war, the battlefield would be around those countries.
Kakashi said: "All three countries have protested, with the Land of Iron being the most vocal!"
"That's natural." Funan laughed.
It is best for the Land of Iron not to intervene.
"Has everyone rested well?"
"We can fight at any time." Kakashi replied, and asked in surprise: "Sir, are you planning to start the war?"
Funan looked at Kakashi as if he was mentally retarded and said: "If I don't start a war, why did I come here with so many people? To go on a group date?"
"This..." Although Kakashi was very dissatisfied with Hiruzen, and even hated him a little because of what Funan said. But now, he still obeyed Hiruzen.
And his orders were to avoid fighting if possible.
Kakashi has always been influenced by Hiruzen and tries to avoid war as much as possible.
"There is no movement from the Kumogakure side."
"What a joke!" Funan looked at Kakashi as if he was dealing with someone with a disability and said: "Konoha is the number one shinobi village in the world."
"Do you understand what the number one means? It means our fists are the biggest. If Kumogakure doesn't attack, I can't attack them? Who taught you that?"
"I..." Kakashi was a little embarrassed.
"I'm telling you, Kakashi!" Funan smiled cheekily. "Konoha will not take the initiative to cause trouble to anyone, but whoever dares to cause trouble to us, we will treat them well and crush all their fangs."
Funan said softly: "We have to teach them to be polite, understand?"
After hearing Funan's words, everyone present breathed heavily and looked at Funan with excitement.
Whether Funan was an Uchiha or not, those were the words that the number one shinobi village should say!
"Let's go!"
"Yes!"
More than seventy people set out again.
Soon, they arrived at the border.
The shinobi in charge of border security was a civilian shinobi. "Commander-in-chief!"
"Prepare for battle!" Funan gave the order directly.
"Battle?" The civilian shinobi was stunned. "How many are involved? How are we going to fight?"
"All 1,700 shinobi on the entire border, all go to battle!" Funan said: "As for the timing of the battle, it will be when the opponent's shinobi army is in chaos."
The civilian shinobi frowned and said: "Commander-in-chief, Kumogakure has gathered 5,000 shinobi, which is three times the number of ours!"
Funan smiled slightly and gave an answer: "I only know that I am the commander-in-chief."
"...Understood!"
Commands were conveyed quickly.
Funan took a deep breath, feeling the surging chakra in his body, and the Mangekyo appeared in his pupils.
With a cold smile on his face, he screamed wildly and lunged forward.
One person attacked 5,000 shinobi of Kumogakure.
"Is he crazy?" Kakashi couldn't help but want to curse.
"Shut up, Kakashi, and watch from here!" Uchiha Shinya stared at him coldly and said: "You're lucky, you'll soon see the true power of the Uchiha clan." He looked at Funan's back, his eyes full of fanaticism.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
[Bang!]
Four Funan appeared at the same time.
The four clones activated the Susanoo at the same time.
'The consumption is really great. The clones can't last long, but it's enough!'
Funan laughed loudly, and a large amount of chakra began to condense on the hand of Susanoo.
In the army of Kumogakure.
Dodai stared at Funan, who was running over.
He is a famous jonin in Kumogakure with a very high prestige. He has a clear mind and is cautious.
In this conflict between Konoha and Kumogakure, he was entrusted by the Fourth Raikage to serve as the commander-in-chief on the front line.
Many people in Kumogakure have a contemptuous attitude when facing Konoha.
Including the Raikage.
Dodai is different. He always keeps vigilant when facing Konoha.
Apart from anything else, Dodai is very worried about Funan's individual strength.
How many Kumo shinobi will he have to sacrifice to get rid of him?
So, since he came to the front, he has been organizing tactics over and over again, training the shinobi.
It's not that he is afraid, he simply wants to minimize Kumogakure's losses as much as possible.
"Commander! Uchiha Funan is approaching alone, there is no shinobi behind him... What is that?!"
The sensor shinobi was reporting when suddenly, his eyes widened at the sight of the blood giant that was tens of meters tall, and he couldn't close his mouth.
"Taking the initiative to attack? As expected of Uchiha!" Dodai looked at him coldly, and shouted: "Everyone, get ready for battle, Uchiha Funan is coming."
Upon hearing that he was an Uchiha, the Kumo shinobi became excited. As the most combative shinobi village, they wanted to confront him.
"Long-range attack! Don't let him get close!"
Following Dodai's order, the Kumo shinobi launched their attacks against Funan.
A series of ninjutsus impacted the Susanoo, but the Susanoo's overwhelming defenses remained intact.
They continued to move forward and concentrate their chakra.
"Dodai-sama!" The sensor shinobi screamed in horror. "In the hands of the giants, there is a Tailed Beast Ball!"
"What?" Dodai's pupils constricted intensely. Although he considered it to be a very powerful ninjutsu, he never thought that it reached the level of the Tailed Beast Ball.
"Disperse, disperse!" Dodai exclaimed.
The Kumo shinobi began to walk away in an orderly manner.
"Too late!" Funan sneered.
"Look at my Yasaka Blood Magatama!"
The four clones threw out the condensed chakra ball at the same time.
"No!" Dodai screamed. "Defend yourselves, avoid it!"
[Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!]
Four huge explosions resounded.
Four huge craters appeared on the Kumo shinobi army.
This scene stunned everyone.
Even the shinobi of Konoha were stunned.
Dodai almost fell to the ground. His lips trembled, his gaze lost, he murmured: "This is... this is... how...?" Then, he reacted and shouted: "Retreat, retreat immediately, all retreat!"
At the same time, Uchiha Shinya woke up from the shock caused by the destruction of Funan and shouted: "What are you doing? Attack! Entire army, attack Kumogakure!"
After shouting, he took the lead and rushed out.
"Kill!"
The other shinobi, recovering, shouted and came out of the defensive lines to attack the Kumo shinobi.
This time, the difference in numbers was not so obvious.
Funan's four attacks directly killed nearly two thousand Kumo shinobi.
The remaining Kumo shinobi were also terrified. Under Dodai's orders, they desperately escaped.
Funan did not attack again, but maintained Susanoo with his body, standing quietly on the battlefield.
As the Konoha shinobi approached, ready to chase the Kumo shinobi, something unexpected happened!
With Dodai's order, some of the Kumo shinobi were separated to block the Konoha shinobi.
Immediately afterwards, the charging Konoha shinobi found that obstacles appeared in front of them.
Some of them were blocked by ninjutsu. Others fell into traps with explosive tags. Some of the Konoha shinobi suddenly stopped and froze in place, obviously under genjutsu.
Funan was startled and laughed. "Great, worthy of being Dodai. He left a way out even though his side was clearly in an advantageous position?"
With these obstacles blocking them for a moment, the Kumo shinobi under Dodai's scolding gradually became coordinated again.
Looking at the Kumo shinobi who gathered again, Funan wanted to use another Yasaka Blood Magatama.
However, he had just created four shadow clones, and divided his chakra equally in addition to using Susanoo four times. For him, the consumption of the Yasaka Magatama was extremely great.
Of course, this does not mean that he cannot use it. However, he must be careful with lurking shadows.
Will Danzo and Hiruzen let go of such a good opportunity? Others are not sure, but Danzo will definitely dare to attack him at this time. That man dares to do anything for Konoha!
Also, he must be careful with Obito and Pain. Obito is always ready, and Pain must have noticed.
Funan stared at Dodai, sneered, and said: "You are lucky, but how long can you hold on? The war has just begun. I am not in a hurry. Let's take it slowly."
Dodai was greatly relieved when he saw Funan did not move.
Finally, under harassment from the Konoha shinobi, Kumogakure, although they had suffered losses, managed to retreat successfully.
"Gather the shinobi, we retreat!" Funan gave the order when the Kumo shinobi completely disappeared from his sight.
"Yes!"
Without waiting for reinforcements, Kumogakure was defeated by more than a thousand shinobi stationed on the border, which made Funan's reputation rise again.
Next came the tasks of medical care, guarding prisoners and counting losses. These matters did not worry Funan, he only needed to check the data at the end and sign. He now he was an important figure, one of the three giants of Konoha...
