Chapter 87: Scorching Confrontation

"Minister!" After Funan made the arrangements, someone finally couldn't help it. A Jonin asked: "The rumors outside are very unfavorable to you."

Funan smiled and said: "How are they unfavorable?"

"Needless to say, with so many rumors outside, how are you going to compete for the position of Hokage in the future?"

"Did I say I would compete for the position of Hokage?" Funan asked back, and said: "Remember what I said? I want the top leaders of Konoha to beg me to be the Hokage."

Everyone was stunned.

In this case, the rumors outside really became meaningless.

"Anything else?" After Funan looked around, he focused his eyes on Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi nodded slightly. Next, he needed to convey the news to Sarutobi Hiruzen and others.

Including Funan's strategic arrangements and personnel transfers. Funan's personal ideas.

All of these must be carefully recorded and conveyed to the Third Hokage.

Because the news conveyed was true, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others trusted Itachi more and more.

Much of this information, in the view of Fugaku and others, was too sensitive to share.

In Funan's opinion, this information was irrelevant. As long as he has the power in his hands, even if he tells them openly that he wants to defeat them, will they still be able to resist? Resistance is useless!

[Boom!]

At this moment, a loud noise came.

Everyone was stunned.

The Jonin present at the meeting did not rush to fight, they simply prepared for combat.

"Report!"

A shinobi appeared, knelt on one knee, looked at Funan carefully, and whispered: "Pakura has arrived."

Uchiha: "..."

A series of strange eyes looked at Funan.

Funan was also stunned and said: "Is she crazy?"

"Hehe, maybe, she is doing it for love!" A voice full of sarcasm sounded.

Funan shrank his neck.

Others also shut up instantly, without saying a word.

Because the person who spoke was Shirayu!

At this moment, she stared at Funan and crossed her arms, sneering. "Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and help your woman, otherwise, the patrol team will teach her a lesson."

Funan was startled and ran away without hesitation.

A senior shinobi looked at Shirayu cautiously and said: "Shirayu-sama! You are really good to the minister."

"Humph!" Shirayu snorted coldly, glanced at the senior shinobi, and said lightly: "What do you think I will do? Go out and tear up that Pakura woman?"

The Uchiha looked at each other.

Shirayu continued. "As Funan's partner, I don't like Pakura, but I must admit that he is strong and benefits the Uchiha clan. Funan already has enough problems, I am not going to add more to him for something like that."

Good guy!

The Uchiha shinobi were convinced.

However, from an angle that no one could see, Shirayu's lips curled up with a cold smile. Having said that, she was still very unhappy.

When they were alone, she would settle accounts with Funan.

At this moment, a shrill cry sounded. "My dear Pakura, you have come to find me!"

The sneer on Shirayu's face suddenly solidified. 'Uchiha Funan, you bitch, I will kill you!'

...

Pakura was frozen in place.

Anyone stared at by hundreds of red eyes would be terrified and unable to move!

The recent rumors made Pakura very angry.

Everywhere she went, she was greeted with murmurs and strange looks. Even when she returned to the investigation team of Sunagakure, she could still hear similar words.

At this time, Baki came to her and asked her directly if she really had an affair with Uchiha Funan.

Pakura's face turned green. Under the Scorch Release, Baki almost died on the spot.

Baki, who was beaten almost to death, said that this was the Kazekage's concern. If Pakura really had nothing to hide, it would be better for her to clear it up with Funan to give an explanation to Sunagakure.

"You are a hero of Sunagakure after all, how can you get entangled with Uchiha!"

Pakura, who had been tortured for several days, didn't know why, but she became angry and went directly to the Uchiha clan. She wanted to settle accounts with Funan.

However, upon blowing up the main gate of the Uchiha clan, she realized her mistake. 'Damn! Am I crazy?! It's better to attack the Hokage Building than to attack Uchiha.'

Pakura turned around and wanted to run.

As long as she ran back to the Sunagakure Investigation Team, she would be safe. With the nature of Konoha, they would never attack the Suna messenger directly.

Who would have thought that at this time, hundreds of figures would surround her in a flash.

Pakura felt a cold sweat on her forehead.

Fortunately, after these Uchiha found that she was alone, they did not attack immediately, but just surrounded her.

At this moment, Pakura hoped that the people of the Suna Investigation Team would receive the news and come quickly.

At this moment, a shrill cry sounded.

"My dear Pakura, you have come to find me!"

Pakura shuddered and glared at the person who came.

[Swish!]

Funan appeared in front of Pakura, looking at her with joy and said: "My treasure, do not fear, I, Funan, will protect you."

Pakura gritted his teeth and said: "Uchiha Funan..."

"I understand, I understand!" Funan said, putting a finger on Pakura's lips. "Words are unnecessary."

Pakura rolled her eyes angrily.

Suddenly, four fireballs enveloped Pakura, protecting her but also forcing Funan to retreat.

"Uchiha Funan, what are you up to?" Pakura stared at Funan coldly.

Funan said aggrievedly: "Pakura, you can't just put on clothes and then not recognize people, right?"

"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" Pakura almost fainted from anger. She stared at Funan and said coldly: "Uchiha's deputy clan leader, the head of the Konoha Police Force, you only use this method to deal with a woman?"

Funan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I know a lot of methods, such as..."

The Mangekyo appeared in his pupils.

Pakura, who was unprepared, was instantly frozen in place.

"Let's go! Let's go home!" Funan stepped forward, took the other party's hand, and walked towards the depths of the Uchiha clan.

The people of the Uchiha patrol team had been laughing and joking until Funan left, and then they continued patrolling the clan land.

Although Funan didn't say anything, they knew that Funan was quite satisfied with their performance, especially the patrol team's ability to respond. Otherwise, what awaited them at this time was a scolding.

When they arrived at the Funan residence, Pakura broke free of the Mangekyo Sharingan genjutsu. At that moment, she did not scream or despair, her expression was unusually calm. Her eyes were fixed on Funan, preparing for a deadly battle.

"Uchiha Funan, what do you want to do?" Pakura asked as she formed seals with both hands, unleashing the full power of her Scorch Release.

"What I want to do?" Funan smiled slightly. "What do you mean exactly?"

"Stop pretending!" Pakura said coldly. "You fooled me from the beginning."

"When we agreed to train together, you started spreading rumors. Also while we were training, you also deliberately destroyed our clothes, right?"

"I was wondering why your aim was so bad."

"Besides, the reason why I attacked the Uchiha clan should also be related to you, right?"

Funan looked at Pakura in surprise and said: "Have you really guessed it?"

"It's really related to you?" Pakura exclaimed, widening her eyes.

"But I don't like frivolous men like you at all!"

Two fireballs were launched towards Funan.

[Boom!]

A loud explosion was heard.

Funan's figure turned into a cloud of smoke.

Pakura sharply turned his head just as a punch approached. She quickly blocked it, but still recoiled repeatedly from the blow.

Funan took the opportunity to chase after her, launching a quick strike with his leg.

[Bang!]

Pakura crossed her hands in front of her chest but was still thrown into the air by the blow.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Funan almost omitted all the seals, and directly spit out a mouthful of blood flames, aiming at Pakura who was still in the air.

[Boom!]

A huge fireball rushed towards Pakura, enveloping her completely. The next moment, Pakura's entire body turned into flames.

"What kind of ninjutsu is that?" Funan looked at Pakura in surprise.

Pakura was even more surprised than Funan. This is a unique escape technique she developed based on the Scorch Release.

It made her almost immune to all fire ninjutsu, but she was still burned the moment she was hit by the blood flame.

How terrifying were those flames! Was it really a Kekkei Genkai?

Pakura was shocked and angry. Uchiha Funan must die!

"Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder!"

The orange Scorch Release flew towards Funan. Before approaching, Funan felt a scorching breath.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Funan instantly split into four clones and rushed towards Pakura. His original body stayed in place.

[Bang!]

A clone turned into smoke and dissipated in the air. The other three clones were already close to Pakura.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

Three huge fire dragons roared towards Pakura.

Pakura kept retreating, constantly avoiding the fire dragon's attack, and at the same time, she kept throwing out burning fireballs.

Just when Pakura dodged the last Fire Dragon Technique...

"Look behind!" Funan's voice sounded behind Pakura.

Pakura instantly threw out a fireball without thinking.

[Bang!]

It was still a shadow clone.

Pakura was not surprised at all, and even showed a cold smile. "Do you think I haven't realized that your real body is here?" With that, she ran towards one of the clones. And a huge fireball instantly covered the shadow clone.
