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 concealed their arrival, Funamushi used his leeches to take control of the people on the island, and attacked Kagura. He tried to throw him off by mentioning Seiren targeting Boruto, but this only motivated Kagura to defeat him. When he recovered, he tracked down Kagura in time to witness Seiren's defeat by him and Boruto. He blocked them with a water wall and recovered her. He sent a soldier to inform Ikada, and told him who was responsible for her injuries.

Later, Funamushi led an elite Funato force through the mountains as part of a plan to take down Kirigakure, having deceived them to move most of their forces to battle at sea. Funamushi made his men swear to avenge Seiren's defeat as they approached a small village. He received a report that the two bridges ahead had been destroyed, and wondered if Kirigakure had learned of their plans. He ordered a scout party to go check ahead. Upon their return, saying there was nothing suspicious, Funamushi gave the order to advance.

Along the way, more scouts discovered that there was indeed a trap set up by Kiri and Konoha-nin. Deciding to turn the enemies' plan against them, he sent most of his team ahead, letting several of his men go around a through a game trail. The counterattack works to destroy the enemies' traps and pressures the enemies. Seeing Kagura, Funamushi is overjoyed at the chance to avenge Suiren. He unleashes his Furious Roaring Tornado technique, taking advantage of the enclosed terrain to demolishing the area and the enemies as well. However, his efforts are thwarted by Team 5 unleashing a rockslide. As Funamashi's group get around to the village, the Kiri and Konoha-nin revealed to have blocked off all existing water sources for Funamashi's technique. Not deterred, he absorbed the blood from some of his soldiers as a source and unleashed his technique again. As Funamashi's technique and men began demolishing village, Kagura used all his chakra to empower Hiramekarei and destroy Funamashi's technique. Funamushi however escape the attack that last second, emerging unharmed while Kagura was too drained to fight back. He captured Kagura and forced the enemies to drop their weapons. Upon which, Funamushi sadistically stabbed Kagura through the back for revenge.
