"It has been peaceful for too long." Funan said as he stretched and sat up in bed.
Beside him, Kurenai also sat on the bed while covering her naked body with a sheet.
"What's wrong with that?" She said, a little annoyed by his comment. "Isn't peace in the shinobi world a good thing?"
"Of course it's good." Funan replied disdainfully, stretching lazily. "But when that peace is false and unstable, it loses all meaning. In the end, it's better for everything to explode!"
"Are you telling me you want to stir up trouble?" Yugao asked as she stood up from the other side of Funan, completely showing her naked body with no intention of covering herself.
The subtle marks on her body showed that the previous night had been intense.
"I'm not the one who wants trouble, it's just that others can't keep calm anymore!" Funan replied with feigned resignation.
In the past few days, many events had occurred.
It was evident that many groups were restless, especially Akatsuki. Because Nagato did not take the lead in Akatsuki's operations, they had suffered several failures, so Obito had lost patience and, leading thousands of White Zetsu, directly attacked Iwagakure.
The raid was a disaster, leaving Obito injured, losing many White Zetsu, and even letting the Five-Tails escape, the only thing that can be rescued from them was that at least now they can follow the trail of the Five-Tails.
"He is desperate, very desperate."
Funan wanted to laugh.
The truth was that that battle had been profitable for him, since he had obtained a good number of White Zetsu corpses.
To him, the White Zetsu were a goldmine of resources. However, Obito always managed to hide his army of White Zetsu very carefully. Every time he moved his troops, he changed their main base, leaving Funan empty-handed when he located their hiding place.
There was a moment when Funan's patience ran out and when Obito appeared at the Akatsuki base, he grabbed him by the collar of his robe and shouted: "Where is the trust between people?!"
For Funan, if he could obtain those hundred thousand White Zetsu, he would no longer have to fear anything.
"So, what do you plan to do now?" Kurenai asked, who, along with Yugao, had changed into their sexy underwear and were tidying up the room after the madness of the previous night. Although it looked more like they were tempting Funan again.
"I remember that the Nine-Tails brat has applied to participate in the chunin exam, right?"
"That's right." Kurenai replied, somewhat surprised. "You're not planning on messing with the Jinchuriki again, are you?"
"Naruto will be participating in the Chunin Exam." Funan confirmed. "And Sasuke too."
"Urgent report!"
At that moment, a familiar voice interrupted from outside.
"Come in." Funan turned his head and looked at Yako who hurriedly came in, and joked: "What's wrong? Are you not letting me rest, or is it that I can't rest with other women?"
"I'm not in the mood for your jokes." Yako replied, his urgency evident. "The five-tails has been captured!"
"Oh!" Funan, unfazed, took the report and skimmed through it quickly before tossing it aside.
"Aren't you worried?" Yako asked, puzzled. "Now Akatsuki has almost all the tailed beasts except the eight-tails."
"Wrong." Funan corrected calmly. "They have the chakra of tailed beasts, but the real tailed beasts... they're all with me!"
Yako: "..."
Funan gave off that aura of a great classic villain.
When Yako saw Funan with that attitude she suddenly wasn't so nervous anymore. Moreover, she actually realized that the ones who should be nervous shouldn't be them.
While Yako was lost in her thoughts, Funan had appeared behind her and then locked the door.
"Zehahaha!" Before Yako could react, Funan laughed like a villain and threw Yako onto the edge of the bed, laying face down.
Still confused by the situation, she tried to get up, but was immediately pressured by Yugao, meanwhile Funan stood behind her.
Immediately after, Funan lifted her dress and ripped off her underwear.
"What's... Hnnn..." Before she could finish speaking Yako let out a soft, satisfying moan.
Meanwhile a shadow clone of Funan headed to the Hokage's office, as Funan and Yako were likely to arrive late to the Hokage's office, and the pile of pending documents to be processed could not wait.
...
After a few hours of intense exchange between Funan, Yako, Yugao and Kurenai, they went to do their chores. On the other hand, Funan remained lying on his bed reflecting in silence.
The Eight-Tails was the last tailed beast needed by Akatsuki. While for him the Five-Tails was the last tailed beast he was missing.
Funan knew that when he obtained the chakra of all the tailed beasts, a qualitative change would occur. He stroked his chin thoughtfully. He was suddenly a little worried. What if he ran into the greatest con man in the shinobi world, the Sage of Six Paths?
That old man hides in the Pure Land all day long… If one thinks that he really isn't up to anything, no one would believe it.
Funan hesitated for a moment.
Anyway, it would be best to get the Five-Tails and not fuse their chakra for now. Funan plans to wait until he is about to evolve his dojutsu into the Rinnegan, then, he will do it all at once.
By then, what does the old man of the Six Paths matter?
With that thought in mind, Funan activated the ring on his hand.
"What happened for you to contact me?" Konan asked with a curious expression.
"Where is the Five-Tails?"
"The Five-Tails?" Konan blinked, puzzled. "Are you saying it's in Amegakure? Wait a minute."
After a short period of time, a small origami crane flew towards her. Konan took it, opened it and, after reading a few lines, looked at Funan in disbelief.
"It turns out that the Five-Tails was captured by the masked man, and he just brought it back to Amegakure. But tell me, how is it possible that you knew about this before me?"
"Konan, I'm the Hokage!"
Konan sighed. "The masked man brought the Five-Tails here a little while ago. If you want the tailed beast, you'll have to come yourself. Of course, the masked man will probably ask for something in return."
...
Obito's face was gloomy.
He looked at the figure in front of him coldly.
Nagato had his back to him, sitting calmly on top of the Demonic Statue as if he was completely relaxed.
Obito had completely lost control over Nagato. He, holding back his frustration, spoke coldly: "Why do you refuse? We already have the Five-Tails. All that's missing is the Eight-Tails. If we join forces, we can take Kumogakure with ease."
"I don't need your help. I alone am enough." Nagato replied calmly.
Obito was a little exasperated and said: "Then why don't you do it?!"
"I don't want to!"
"What?"
"I don't want to. If you want it so badly, I just won't do it."
"You..." Obito was so angry that if it were a Xianxia novel he would have spat blood. He suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Nagato, I know you have your doubts about me, but… what about the Eye of the Moon Plan? Will you abandon it as well?"
Nagato was silent. Yahiko...
"Think about it carefully." Obito snapped, before changing the subject. "By the way, I received news from Uchiha Funan. Apparently, he wants to organize a Chunin Exam. What do you think?"
"Send some representatives. We can't allow Amegakure not to participate in these kinds of events."
"Okay, leave this matter to me, I'll handle it." Obito replied with a cold smile.
"You..." Nagato looked a little surprised, what does this masked man want to do? Is there anything else that attracts him in the Chunin Exam?
Obito didn't intend to explain but said coldly: "The Chunin Exam coincides with a meeting of the Five Kage in Konoha. With the Raikage gone, Kumogakure will be vulnerable. It will be the perfect time for you to capture the Eight-Tails."
After that, he left.
Nagato was left in thought while Konan, beside him, asked with a frown. "What will he try now?"
"It has nothing to do with us." Nagato said calmly. "That's Uchiha Funan's business, as for the Eight-Tails..."
He hesitated.
"Let's do it!" Konan said calmly. "I also want to know what the Eye of the Moon Plan is all about."
"Alright." Nagato controlled Pain, slowly stood up and said: "Convey our message to Uchiha Funan, we will ignore the rest and focus on capturing the Eight-Tails and carrying out the Eye of the Moon Plan."
"Okay!"
