TUS Chapter 249: Sasuke's New Path
🕑 Added 2024-12-25 03:32:53 +0000 UTCSasuke left the room with long strides. There was an expression of excitement on his face.
Summoning beast!
He has a summoning beast!
Now he can summon ninja cats.
He doesn't have to be afraid of Naruto's disgusting toad.
As time went on, he would be able to summon even more powerful ninja cats. Cats that could tear apart toads with their bare claws.
"Naruto, let's see how arrogant you are now!" Sasuke exclaimed, filled with excitement.
"Even with the Ninja Cat, you can't beat Naruto!"
A voice came over.
"Who?" Sasuke turned his head in anger.
"I..." Funan walked over.
"Ho-Hokage-sama...?" Sasuke stammered.
Funan gave him an indifferent look and said: "Do you think having a summoning beast makes you strong? No, you're far from it. Compared to Naruto... no, actually you and Naruto aren't even in the same league."
Sasuke's face filled with discontent, but he didn't dare to retort.
"Don't make that face, boy!" Funan said, with a smile as she approached Sasuke. She took him by the shoulder and added: "Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
[Swish!]
Funan took Sasuke and disappeared from the place.
Fugaku walked out from inside the house and looked in the direction the two of them had vanished to, frowning slightly.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen!"
Itachi walked out from behind him, looking calm.
"You still trust Funan a lot."
"It's not just that." Itachi replied with a slight smile. "Besides, I'm the future Hokage, so Funan has to give me some respect."
"Future Hokage?" Fugaku looked at Itachi in surprise and said: "Funan said that?"
"Yes." Itachi said affirmatively, "Funan said that he will definitely retire before he is 30 years old. At that time, I will take over."
"So soon?" Fugaku was a little surprised.
"That's not my ambition."
Itachi sighed.
Although he wanted to become Hokage, Itachi knew that no one could match Funan's abilities.
If things went wrong, they could become a source of ridicule, especially if they were a Hokage of the Uchiha clan.
...
[Swish!]
Funan brought Sasuke to the Hokage Rock.
"This is the most sacred place in Konoha!"
Funan sat down casually and said: "Sit down, Sasuke, I haven't chatted with you for a long time."
"You are the Hokage after all." Sasuke's words were respectful.
"Hokage?" Funan repeated it, and then shook his head and said: "You should know by now, Sasuke. I was forced to accept this position by Sarutobi Hiruzen. If it were up to me, I would never have wanted to become Hokage."
Sasuke was speechless for a while.
Why do you say such things to a child?
After a brief silence, Sasuke suddenly asked: "Funan-nii, is Naruto special?"
"Very special, he is a Jinchuriki!"
"Jinchuriki?" Sasuke frowned, somewhat confused.
"You know the tailed beasts, right?"
"Of course!" Sasuke said excitedly. "It is said that your summoning beast is a tailed beast. The power of the tailed beasts is devastating and enough to easily destroy a village. They are the key forces that the First Hokage used to balance power between the shinobi villages."
"Hmm!" Funan nodded gently and said: "The shinobi who seals the tailed beast in his body is the Jinchuriki."
Sasuke was startled and said: "Isn't Naruto miserable?"
"Yeah!" Funan smiled and said: "People fear him, and that fear turns into contempt. Of course, there's no denying that some people have personal reasons. Their loved ones died at the hands of the Tailed Beasts, and when they see Naruto, they react with instinctive rejection."
Sasuke was silent.
"Sympathize with him?"
"Yes!" Sasuke said directly: "I think fear is inevitable, but we can't hate him just because he is a Jinchuriki. Naruto himself doesn't want to be a Jinchuriki. If we have to hate, we should hate the person who brought the tailed beast to Konoha, or the person who sealed the tailed beast into Naruto's body."
Funan looked at Sasuke with a smile and said: "The person who brought the Nine-Tails to Konoha was Uchiha Madara."
Sasuke was surprised. "Uchiha Madara?"
"Yes!" Funan said: "The Nine-Tails was once Uchiha Madara's summoning beast. By the way, you just said that fear is inevitable, which is also wrong. When your strength reaches a certain level, you will forget fear."
Sasuke said with longing in his eyes: "Was Madara that powerful?"
Funan picked up a piece of gravel, played with it in his hand, looked straight ahead calmly, and said: "Let's not talk about Uchiha Madara. The person who sealed the tailed beast into Naruto's body was the fourth generation Hokage, Namikaze Minato, who is also Naruto's father."
"Huh?" Sasuke widened his eyes in surprise. "Naruto is the son of the Hokage?"
"Yes." Funan sighed and said: "Minato wanted his child to become a hero, but unfortunately, some people in Konoha needed the villagers to be hostile to Naruto, so Naruto suffered."
Sasuke thought for a moment and said: "Is it Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others?"
"Yes!" Funan sneered and said: "Sasuke, do you know? Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others are really disgusting sometimes. Naruto's father sacrificed for the village, on the night of the Nine-Tails, but they twisted Naruto into a murderer, twisted him into the Nine-Tails, and became the abomination of Konoha."
"Obviously, he's just a container to seal the Nine-Tails!"
Sasuke's gaze became complex. His opinion of Naruto changed drastically.
Funan continued: "They also took away the inheritance of Minato and his wife, forcing Naruto to sleep in such a small room. Because he was the Nine-Tails, the murderer who caused the Nine-Tails Night, no one was willing to sell food to Naruto, and he could only eat expired instant noodles."
"This is Naruto."
After a moment of silence, Sasuke asked: "Funan-nii, why are you telling me this?"
"Because I want you to be friends with Naruto!" Funan said bluntly. "Naruto is a good boy, he needs friends, and you, I think the most suitable."
"I?"
"Yes!" Funan said with a smile. "Sasuke, this is my judgment as a Hokage."
In one sentence, all of Sasuke's doubts were blocked.
"I will try to be friends with him."
Funan nodded and said: "By the way, Sasuke, I told you that you couldn't beat Naruto. It's because he's a Jinchuriki, and the Nine-Tails is sealed inside him. Do you understand what that means?"
Sasuke was surprised and said: "Are you going to tell me that he can use the power of the Nine-Tails?"
Funan smiled and said: "Correct. I have already approved Jiraiya to train him to control that power. It won't be long before his strength grows tremendously."
Sasuke looked anxious.
He finally got a summoning beast and thought he could compete with Naruto, but he was surpassed again.
Moreover, the gap may be very large.
Funan has been observing Sasuke's expression. At this moment, he also made up his mind and said: "Sasuke, do you want to surpass Naruto?"
"Of course!" Sasuke said without hesitation. "Funan-nii, do you have a way? Help me, I don't want to be surpassed by Naruto."
Funan looked directly at Sasuke and said: "Sasuke, I really have a way here, which can make you have the power to keep pace with Naruto, but..."
"I am willing to pay the price! Any price!"
Sasuke interrupted Funan directly and gave the answer without hesitation.
"Don't worry, you still need to think about this matter, and even ask Itachi and Fugaku."
Funan smiled slightly. He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Sasuke, do you want to become... Jinchuriki?"
...
"What did you say?" Fugaku widened his eyes and stared at Sasuke.
Itachi also had a gloomy expression on his face.
"Sasuke, do you know what you just said?"
"Yes, I know." Sasuke replied with a completely calm face. "I want to become a Jinchuriki. Funan-nii asked me to go back and report to you, seeking your approval. But I don't think it's necessary to ask for it. I'm sure my father and brother will support me, right?"
"Nonsense! Support you?" Fugaku slammed the table and stood up. "Do you know what Jinchuriki represents?"
"It represents power!"
"You..."
"Father!" Itachi grabbed the furious Fugaku and said in a deep voice: "Sasuke, what exactly did Funan tell you? Do you understand what it means to be a Jinchuriki? There's already one in Konoha. Do you know...?"
"Naruto? I know." Sasuke interrupted, looking at him resolutely. "Brother, I'm not a child anymore. You, at twelve years old, had stepped onto the battlefield many times. I'm not inferior to you."
Itachi and Fugaku looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
"Sasuke, explain yourself. Why do you want to become a Jinchuriki? In the village, Jinchuriki are constantly rejected. You said it yourself: they bear the hatred of everyone."
Sasuke thought for a moment and said: "I want to get power."
Fugaku frowned and said: "If it's just for that, you don't need to become a Jinchuriki. The power of the Uchiha clan is on par with the Tailed Beasts. Even the Sharingan has a certain restrictive effect on them."
Sasuke still shook his head and said: "Not enough, I want more powerful power, I want the Mangekyo Sharingan, and I want the tailed beasts."
Fugaku and Itachi looked at each other and saw the headache in each other's eyes.
"I'll go see Funan!" Itachi stood up and said: "What on earth is he thinking, actually encouraging Sasuke to become a Jinchuriki?"
[Swish!]
With a quick movement, Itachi disappeared.
