Great Sea Battle of Kirigakure Arc
Funamushi accompanied Seiren Funato to the "island of traitors", where she killed their former allies who bowed to Kirigakure's authority after her father was captured. Later, as she prepared a night attack on the shipbuilders' island, she instructed Funamushi to leave one survivor to spread the word of the Funato's strength.

After Seiren covered their arrival, Funmushi summoned his leeches to take control of various people on the island. Funamushi quickly attacked Kagura, gloating that Seiren has probably already killed Boruto Uzumaki. Angered by that claim, Kagura was able to overpower and defeat Funamushi. After awaking, he went to find Kagura to finish his mission, he soon found to his shock that Seiren was struck down by Kagura and Boruto. Furious at the sight, he retrieved Seiren and retreated, leaving behind a scroll. He sent a soldier to inform Ikada. Despite the boy having left the Funato Clan, he quickly came to see his sister who was stabilised but in a coma. Funamushi told Ikada who did this to her.
