TUS Chapter 236: When Killing Nobles Accidentally Inspires a Revolution
🕑 Added 2024-11-29 15:05:48 +0000 UTCAfter dispatching everyone, Funan, along with Kurenai and Yugao, used the transformation technique to blend into the crowd and explore the city.
The death of the nobles had left the city in disarray.
Before, the nobles controlled everything, down to the last detail. Their greed had reduced the city to its limits.
Now, without them, although there was chaos, Funan was confident it would be temporary.
The people sent by Funan are gradually taking over the entire city.
Funan believes that they will be better administrators than the nobles.
Well, it seems that anyone is better than those nobles.
It should be said that pigs are better than those nobles!
At least pigs will not push ordinary civilians to the limit.
Walking through the streets, Funan saw the extreme poverty of the inhabitants. Most of them could barely stand on their feet due to lack of food.
Yugao glanced at the people who were secretly following them, and then one of them immediately disappeared to ask the reason for the current situation.
Soon, the answer came.
When Konoha prospered, the nearby cities benefited as well. But the nobles, in their greed, raised taxes to the point of leaving the commoners destitute.
Funan was speechless.
It turns out that Konoha helped some people get rich, and the wealth finally went to the hands of the nobles, and they also took away the original wealth in the hands of ordinary people.
Fortunately, they were all killed.
As he looked at the impoverished villagers, Funan sighed at the hardships they faced, but took no immediate action.
He knew that any direct help would be useless until the new governor he had appointed took the reins.
From the nobles, Funan had confiscated a large amount of money.
In the Land of Fire, the daimyo also gave the green light to those businesses belonging to Uchiha.
This time no one dared to stand up and seek death.
With the new financial resources, Funan was able to expand his plans. He had approved several projects for the two cities, making sure that each step was carefully planned.
As for ordinary people, Funan's only request at this stage is... to have food to eat!
...
After briefly attending to the affairs of the two cities, Funan turned his attention back to the Shinobi World. It was then that he received some interesting news.
"What did you say?" Funan asked Yako with interest. "Is there trouble in various nations? Has tension between shinobi and nobles come to light?"
"Yes!" Yako looked at Funan strangely and said: "Congratulations, Hokage-sama, you are now the object of countless people's curses."
"What does that have to do with me?" Funan replied, bewildered.
The nations of Lightning, Earth, Wind, and Water were reportedly demanding that their Daimyo increase funding for shinobi villages. They even used veiled threats to pressure them.
This left Funan perplexed.
Since when do shinobi dare to challenge the Daimyo?
In his experience, shinobi had always shown an almost irrational loyalty to nobles.
Yako looked at him reproachfully. "Hokage-sama, are you really pretending to be innocent? You are the one who caused all of this."
Funan was startled, and then he opened his eyes wide and said in astonishment: "Could it be..."
"Yes!"
Yako sighed and said: "Ever since you took over as Hokage, you never bothered to visit the Daimyo. In fact, you not only ignored them, but you went so far as to insult him and even tried to kill him. And after seeing how you treated the nobles, do you think other Kage wouldn't be influenced?"
Yako continued: "Recently you have gone even further. You have directly taken two cities from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and directly killed all the nobles there. Tell me about you!"
"The other Kage are starting to rethink their relationship with the nobles. If you can eliminate them, why can't they?"
Funan curled his lips in disdain and said: "They've always had their own ideas. They just haven't wanted to show them. Now we've pushed them to the limit. They have no choice but to act. They need to concentrate all their strength to face the Rinnegan and Konoha."
Yako was thoughtful after hearing this.
"If the other Kage also eliminate their daimyo." Funan pondered for a moment before continuing. "Then the situation will be clearer."
"Rinnegan, Akatsuki, Amegakure!"
"Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, the samurai and the alliances of small nations..."
"And Konoha..."
"Three main factions!"
Funan gave a low laugh. "Yako, tell me, isn't it interesting?"
"I feel a storm coming."
Funan looked out the window towards the village.
In fact, there was another force that no one should underestimate.
Orochimaru and the Impure World Reincarnation... that technique should never have existed.
Especially now that Orochimaru has helped the Raikage and others, even if the Raikage is on guard against Orochimaru, it is impossible for him to be openly treated as an enemy.
That gives him freedom to move around within their villages.
Damn!
Who knows how many graves that guy has looted by now?
Funan knew that the balance of the shinobi world would not last long.
...
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
On this day, Funan was reading documents in the office.
The transformation of the two cities was proceeding in an orderly manner, which generally satisfied Funan.
Suddenly, Konan contacted him.
"Funan, do you want the Seven-Tails?"
"Huh?" Funan was startled and quickly focused. "Did you manage to capture him?"
"Yes." Konan replied. "The masked man has been holding back his anger these days and acting in secret. We didn't care about him and didn't bother to care about his life or death. Who knew that he would actually find an opportunity to catch the Seven-Tails back. Nagato and I were very surprised."
Funan: "..."
Konan's tone was full of contempt.
Funan reflected. "According to our agreement, each of us must capture a tailed beast."
"Correct." Konan said. "You contributed the chakra of the One-Tail and the Nine-Tails. With the Six-Tails that Nagato caught, the three of us have completed our quotas. With the Seven-Tails captured, I think Sasori and Hiruko must be anxious. There aren't many tailed beasts left out there."
“Hiruko?” Funan frowned. “If you didn’t tell me, I would have forgotten. I received a report that Hiruko is planning something secretly lately.”
Konan said indifferently: "Who cares? As long as we can catch the tailed beasts, we will not restrict other Akatsuki members."
"Aren't you worried?"
"Haha!" Konan smiled without saying anything.
Funan remained thoughtful.
It seemed like Nagato had accomplished something recently. Otherwise, Konan wouldn't be so confident.
"Do whatever you want." Funan said before warning him. "But always carry with you the scroll I gave you."
"Understood." Knowing that Funan was worried about her, Konan nodded obediently.
"As for the Seven-Tails..."
Funan laughed softly and said: "I don't just want the Seven Tails, I also want its Jinchuriki."
Konan's eyes widened as she muttered: "But she's just a child!"
"I... Fuck!"
Funan promised that if Konan had not used the ring to communicate with him, he would have severely 'taught' her a lesson.
"Okay, okay!" Konan said hurriedly as she noticed that Funan was starting to get really angry. Trying to calm him down, she continued: "Girl or not, I'm not going to judge you. In fact, in my travels I've met many nobles with… unique tastes."
After a brief pause, she gritted her teeth and added: "Some daimyo even…"
"Konan!!!"
"Okay, okay, I'll stop!" She replied with a shrug.
Funan stared at her angrily.
A few seconds of tense silence passed until he suddenly said: "She is too young now. We will have to wait at least until next year."
Now it was Konan's turn to get upset.
"Come to Amegakure by yourself!" She exclaimed before disappearing from his sight.
"Hmph!" Funan snorted as he watched Konan leave. "Little Konan, do you really think you can beat me at this?"
...
That same day, Funan himself left for Amegakure. There, he was greeted by a grim-faced Nagato and Obito.
"Hello everyone! Long time no see, did you miss me? Zehahaha! I miss you so much." Funan said with a wide smile.
"Hmph, Uchiha Funan, you are really brave!" Obito stared at Funan coldly and said: "Aren't you worried that while you're away, someone might attack your village? And besides, coming here alone… do you really not fear for your life?"
Funan, holding his head high, replied confidently: "As a member of the Akatsuki, I must trust my comrades. And besides, I believe in you."
Several people glanced at Funan and were too lazy to pay attention to him.
Konan, on the other hand, said: "Funan, maybe someone will really attack you and your village."
"It doesn't matter!" Funan waved his hand indifferently and said: "I have complete confidence in my strength. And if the village is not able to overcome this obstacle, then let it disappear at once."
Everyone looked at him again, somewhat surprised.
Obito abruptly changed the topic: "I captured the Seven-Tails."
"I know!" Funan said with a smile. "Tell me what your conditions are. I'm very generous. Besides, there are no outsiders here. Just say whatever you want to say."
There were only four people in the room: Funan, Obito, Nagato and Konan.
There is also a Black and White Zetsu in secret.
Well, he technically doesn't count as a person.
