Chapter 45: Funan's Farm and Profitable Assassinations

"Who are you?" The people of the Evil God Cult shouted loudly.

"Don't make any noise, let me feel sad for a while!" Funan covered his chest and looked at the dead people distressedly. Then, he turned his head and stared at the people of the Evil God Cult with anger.

"Damn bastards, how dare you kill another one of my food sources?"

The people of the Evil God Cult looked at each other in confusion.

The young man came over with a smile, looked Funan up and down, and murmured: "Did you come here at this time because the great Evil God wanted it? Are you a sacrifice for the great Evil God?"

"Lord Evil God…" Hidan was about to scream again but was interrupted by a slap.

Funan slapped him so hard that Hidan flew and hit the wall.

"You... Die!"

When other members of the Evil God Cult saw this, they were furious and rushed towards Funan with a roar of rage.

The cultists took out their strange weapons as they rushed towards Funan.

The three tomoe rotated in Funan's eyes and chakra instantly flowed throughout his body.

[Swoosh!]

Before the strange weapons approached, and Funan had already disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already in front of a cultist.

He waved the kunai and the cultist with a fanatical expression had his throat cut. But it seemed as if he hadn't been hurt at all, his expression only became more fanatical. Completely ignoring his injuries, he continued to swing his weapon at Funan.

...Immortality!

Funan continues attacking the other people, then releases a cloud of bloody flames from his mouth.

Although he suppressed the power of the blood flames, he still roasted several cultists to half-cooked state.

The smell of roast meat filled the air.

Any ordinary person would have died long ago. But these cultists kept shouting. The Sharingan recorded everything.

While fighting, Funan reflected.

He couldn't be sure of the reason behind their immortality but judging from the area attack he had just performed, he could assure that not all of these cultists' immortalities were the same.

There were some stronger than others. Some received fatal injuries as if they felt nothing. Others were clearly suffering, weakened, but still trying to attack him, albeit with less force. And some even died directly at his hands. This was not perfect immortality.

So…

Funan looked at the young man on the side... This was Hidan. He is considered someone who truly possesses an immortal body.

At this moment, he was looking at him fanatically, and had a malicious and crazy smile on his face. He was also holding one of those strange weapons as he approached Funan.

''This guy's immortal body is really powerful, but I don't know how powerful it is now before it reaches its peak.' Funan frowned slightly. When he had slapped Hidan, he hadn't held back at all, he had used all his power.

He thought he could blow Hidan's head off with one slap, but who knew that after being sent flying, he embedded himself in the wall and slowly slid down.

Then he staggered to his feet.

Funan appeared in front of Hidan in an instant, gently placing his hand on Hidan's chest.

[Bang!]

With a dull sound, Hidan's chest suddenly expanded, and he couldn't help but let out a scream. When he screamed, a lot of internal organs spurted out of his mouth.

"I can't believe you're still alive after all your internal organs were destroyed." Funan muttered, then rushed to another cultist and pushed him into the ground.

"It hurts me to death, you, the guy who dares to offend Lord Evil God!" Hidan's screams started again.

Looking at Hidan jumping towards him, Funan was convinced. With this vitality, the cockroaches knelt down and will call him big brother when they see him.

"Okay, that's it for the experiment on immortality. It's time for me to harvest the fruits. You are not allowed to cause trouble." Funan smiled and looked at the cultists rushing towards him.

Funan activated the Body Flicker Technique. He then appeared in front of a cultist and grabbed his head.

"Absorb it!"

The God Tree suddenly became abnormal. It seemed very excited, as if they were about to wake up. A huge suction force came over.

"Aaahhh!" The cultist suddenly let out a shrill scream. The cultists had never made this type of scream until now.

Then, at a speed with the naked eye, the cultist was absorbed by Funan and turned into a dry corpse.

Funan could clearly feel that there was really no trace of life in this corpse. But even so, the God Tree seemed to be not satisfied yet, as the great suction force was still active.

A powerful and pure life energy entered Funan's body.

"Well!"

Funan growled as he used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge the multiple attacks before beginning to check his body.

All the life energy was accumulated in the fruit and the size of the Sage Mode Fruit became significantly larger.

"Um?" Funan was really surprised. This effect is simply better than Withe Zetsu.

White Zetsu's case can be explained because he possesses Hashirama's cells. So what do these cultists depend on? How could they attract the God Tree so much?

Funan originally doubted that these guys could be absorbed into the God Tree since they couldn't be killed.

That they cannot die could mean that their lives are tied to someone else.

Funan now understands that the God Tree may have forcibly plundered the life force.

[Swoosh!]

Funan disappeared again and appeared in front of another cultist. He stretched out his hand to grab the opponent and began to absorb it.

This time, the Sage Mode fruit directly evolved.

LV-2 (Sage Mode)

The effect is even better than the previous cultist. Because the immortal body varies in strength, this last cultist is clearly stronger.

In an instant, Funan's gaze towards the cultists changed. 'This will be my home raised pigs. No one can take them from me, or I will kill them!'

At the same time, Funan's thoughts changed. These cultists cannot be killed. The better the effect of the Immortal Body, the greater the effect on the fruit after absorption.

Pigs must be fattened before being slaughtered.

"For Lord Evil God!"

"kill him!"

Cultists are not afraid of death at all. Even if they see Funan suck their companions into dry corpses, they would still rush over while screaming feverishly.

The three tomoe rotate in Funan's eyes, forming a triangular symbol.

Mangekyo Sharingan: Susanoo!

A giant blood-red skeleton appeared and then muscles began to appear on the skeleton.

"This... What is this?"

Even the crazy cultists were stunned when they saw the huge and evil Susanoo. Many people's weapons fell to the ground. Faced with such an existence, having or not having weapons was meaningless.

Even Hidan was stunned and murmured unconsciously: "Damn it, Lord Evil God..."

Funan forms a seal with his hands. Huge chakra filled the entire space, so powerful that it was suffocating.

"Genjutsu: Mangekyo Sharingan!"

All the cultists present suddenly went blank, freezing in place.

"Huff, huff..." Funan panted slightly, and the corners of his eyes began to slowly bleed. It had been a long time since he had been so strenuous.

This time, there are too many targets for the illusion, and the coverage is too wide. Fortunately there are no jonin among the cultists.

For the sake of his pigs, he would give his best!

"Huh?" Funan was shocked and looked suspiciously at the cultists trapped in his genjutsu. "The effect of illusion is better than imagined!?"

These cultists are not good at resisting illusions? This is really surprising and unexpected, but it saves a lot of trouble.

Funan formed another seal as the triangle symbol rotated in his eyes.

[Crack! Crack! Crack!]

All the cultists caught in the genjutsu were sealed.

"Huff!" Funan exhaled heavily. "OK, the last step, pack it up and take it away!"

...

In a quiet bathroom, a tall ninja wearing a suit with red fire clouds and dark green eyes was carrying a body to a secret door.

Inside, a completely different panorama was revealed. Busy people were carrying corpses one after another and carrying out various tasks.

There were also many people arguing in low voices. Some seemed happy. Others frowned with concern. And others emanated pure hostility.

This was a black market exchange point.

"Kakuzu-sama is here!" When the person in charge saw Kakuzu, his eyes lit up and he came over with a smile on his face.

The surrounding shinobi also backed down after discovering Kakuzu.

They knew he was someone ruthless. He is one of the greatest powers of the black market.

"Um!" Kakuzu hummed, threw the body in his hand to the person in charge, and said: "Five million Ryo, hurry up!"

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment!" The person in charge knew Kakuzu's temperament and immediately stepped forward to check on the body.

Shortly after, he exclaimed in astonishment: "As expected from Kakuzu-sama, this is an S-class missing-nin from Kirigakure."

"For two years, no one could find his whereabouts. But Kakuzu-sama received the mission and in just one month he eliminated him."

Kakuzu didn't seem to hear the person in charge's praise, and just said indifferently: "Where's the money?"

The person in charge ran quickly and respectfully handed a box of money to Kakuzu.

Kakuzu checked it on the spot, and then nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad, the amount is correct." At this moment he showed a hint of emotion for the first time. The air around him seemed to change.

The person in charge breathed a long sigh of relief. He looked at Kakuzu who was picking up the box and about to turn around and leave. He couldn't help but said: "Kakuzu-sama, there is a large assignment waiting for you, specifically requesting your participation."

Kakuzu stopped and looked at the person in charge expressionlessly.

"A big order of 100 million Ryo!"

[Swoosh!]

Instantly, Kakuzu appeared in front of the manager, his voice deep and urgent: "Who should I kill?"

The amount was too high.

Only the Kage of the five great shinobi villages, or extremely important figures, are worth this price. The mention of a contract of this magnitude at this time clearly indicated that the target was someone who was still unknown.

And indeed...

"It's someone from the Uchiha clan!"

Kakuzu's brows frowned slightly.

The most powerful clan in Konoha, and one could even say that it is the most powerful clan in the entire Shinobi World.

On the black market, there will always be orders related to this clan, from murders to requests for eyes or blood...

But few dared to accept them.

One of the reasons was the strength of the Uchiha clan and Konoha. The other is that the price/performance ratio is not consistent.

Kakuzu is not afraid of the Uchiha clan, but he is serious about money. If the payment was not enough, he would not take the job, no matter who the target was.

But this wasn't the worst. What really bothered him was that the mention of the Uchiha reminded him of someone.

Someone he had tried to assassinate before, only to be chased by a clone of the other party. If the other party had not been careless, he would have died at the hands of the other party's clone.

That man is a mortal enemy of the Uchiha clan, but he has a good relationship with the strongest Uchiha, and the two are inseparable.

"Who is it?" Kakuzu asked.

"It's Uchiha Funan."

Kakuzu was confused: "Who is he? Is he so strong?"

"I dare not hide it from Kakuzu-sama!" the person in charge said. "He is currently known as the second Shura of the Shinobi World, the vice leader of the Uchiha clan, the commander of the Konoha Police Force, and the person with the greatest influence within the Uchiha clan."

"Oh..."

Kakuzu chuckled and said: "No wonder it's worth 100 million Ryo. Okay, I'll take care of this task."

"Then you have to hurry up." The person in charge said with a smile. "Uchiha Funan is said to have left the village recently due to a mission, so it is unclear when he will return."

"Oh, that's great. The Uchiha clan... hahaha!" Kakuzu turned around and left the black market exchange point.
