TUS Chapter 232: Dead Serious About Corpses
🕑 Added 2024-11-20 15:00:37 +0000 UTC"Hokage-sama!" Even Tetsuhi acknowledged that calling the Hokage, the leader, in the Hokage's office was not the most appropriate thing to do. He immediately corrected himself. "The things you requested have already been delivered to the laboratory."
"Okay!" Funan smiled.
This news excited him more than Tetsuhi's awakening of the Mangekyo. White Zetsu's body was the bridge to the Rinnegan.
"Let's go!" Funan ordered, leaving the office accompanied by Yako.
The others began to disperse soon after, but Tetsuhi remained silent, somewhat dejected.
'Is this all? Not even a few words of praise? I have awakened the Mangekyo, something that should be a source of pride, but it seemed like no one valued me.'
Before Tetsuhi could continue to lament in his mind, Yashiro interrupted him: "What are you doing standing there? Take your things and get out now."
"Things?" Tetsuhi asked, puzzled.
Suddenly he noticed that there were five bottles in his hands.
"When…?"
A chill ran through his body. He hadn't noticed at all how Funan had handed him the medicines.
Yashiro, for his part, seemed indifferent. "Your strength is nothing in front of Hokage-sama."
Far from feeling discouraged, Tetsuhi's eyes shone with fervor.
"Who do you think is stronger, the clan leader or Uchiha Madara?"
Hearing Tetsuhi's words, the Uchiha present stiffened.
"He's probably a little inferior..." A deep voice replied.
Everyone turned towards the entrance. It was Uchiha Fugaku, accompanied by Uchiha Shisui and Itachi.
The three walked into the office.
Fugaku said: "I am also very interested in the topic you just talked about. Let me tell you my opinion."
Looking at the excited Fugaku, everyone present felt very strange.
When did Fugaku, who was serious and stern-faced and could scare children to tears, show such an expression?
Fugaku didn't care about these at all, and just said: "Uchiha Madara, there is no doubt that he is the strongest person in the Uchiha records. His strength is not much worse than Senju Hashirama. Otherwise, with Senju Hashirama's amazing vitality, he would not have died after living for only a few years after killing Uchiha Madara."
"Uchiha Funan, he may be the strongest person in the contemporary era. At least, I have never seen anyone who can compare with him."
"And the Rinnegan?" Yashiro couldn't help interrupting him.
"So what of it?" Fugaku replied, annoyed. "The Rinnegan doesn't necessarily surpass the Sharingan. Besides, Funan is also part of the Akatsuki organization, and it doesn't seem like they've suppressed him at all."
Those present nodded, supporting Fugaku's words.
"But..." Fugaku changed the subject and said: "Funan has two weaknesses!"
"What?"
Everyone present was tense.
They determined within themselves that if Fugaku was right, they would find a way to eliminate those weaknesses.
Fugaku explained. "The first is his lack of combat experience."
"How can that be?" Yashiro looked skeptical. "Hokage-sama always leads from the front. He's fought more times than any of us."
Fugaku said: "Yes, he always wins easily, crushing his enemies."
The Uchiha all laughed.
"This is the truth!" Yashiro said proudly. "The clan leader is too strong."
Fugaku sighed and said: "So, I said that he lacked combat experience. What was Uchiha Madara like at that time? He was in the same era as Senju Hashirama, and they fought for a lifetime, right?"
"You mean..." Yashiro hesitated. "Does Hokage-sama lack an equal opponent?"
"Yes! If you can help Funan find an opponent to fight frequently, Funan's weakness will disappear."
Everyone fell silent. Finding an opponent who could match him seemed impossible.
"By the way!" Tetsuhi suddenly said. "Do you think that the appearance of the Rinnegan will..."
"Hmm?" The eyes of the people present lit up.
The Rinnegan, that is definitely the best opponent.
It was prepared by God for Funan.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Itachi couldn't help it, and said: "What's going on with you? Why do you have to find an opponent for Hokage-sama?"
"Isn't it good to be invincible?"
"This..."
The Uchiha were collectively stunned, and then embarrassed.
"It's all Elder Fugaku's fault." Tetsuhi muttered.
"Ahem, don't say that!" Yashiro coughed dryly, then looked at Fugaku and said: "Elder, what is the second point you said?"
Fugaku said expressionlessly: "After I said it, it won't become my fault again, right?"
"How could it be?"
A group of red eyes shook their heads in unison.
"We are Uchiha, we are not that kind of people!"
Fugaku: "..."
"Okay!" Fugaku sighed and said: "Another weakness, Funan is too young."
"Young?"
"Yes!" Fugaku said in a deep voice: "Strictly speaking, Funan is less than 20 years old. For a ninja, his strength is far from reaching the peak!"
Yashiro thought for a while and said: "You mean, someone will do something before the clan leader reaches the peak?"
"Many people are already doing it!" Fugaku said indifferently: "Four shinobi villages jointly attack Konoha. This is problematic no matter how you look at it. Maybe there are people pushing it in secret, and the purpose is to solve Funan's power before it reaches the peak."
Fugaku's expression became meaningful. "So, you all remember this!"
"Recently, there may be problems."
"Don't let your guard down."
"As time goes by, Funan's power will become stronger and stronger, and some people will become more and more anxious!"
"Humph!" Tetsuhi snorted coldly and said: "The clan leader is invincible."
Fugaku thought for a moment and said: "Jiraiya has been looking for the child of destiny, you know that, right?"
"Who doesn't know?" One of the Uchiha presents replied.
"Okay!" Fugaku said with a headache: "Jiraiya once thought that Namikaze Minato was the child of destiny, what do you think?"
The name Namikaze Minato caused the Uchihas to frown.
For the Uchihas, Namikaze Minato was a formidable adversary. Furthermore, during his tenure, he did not show any open hostility towards them. In fact, due to his internal struggles with the Third Hokage and Danzo, he provided them with some respite.
Despite everything, the Uchihas did not hold any ill feelings towards him.
“If we say that Namikaze Minato was the child of destiny… well, it’s possible that he was.” Yashiro replied after a brief thought.
Fugaku nodded. “Yes. At the time, many considered him so. Even some Uchiha, not to mention the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, quickly aligned themselves with him. Everything pointed to a bright future.”
He paused for a moment before adding in a serious tone: “But what was the result?”
"Namikaze Minato is dead!"
“No one imagined that he would die so young, and even less so at that time.”
The more perceptive Uchiha began to understand what Fugaku meant.
“Understood.” The Uchiha responded in chorus.
Those there were the best and brightest of the clan, smart enough to pick up on Fugaku's message.
All of them should be quiet!
They have been a little arrogant recently.
It was understandable. Funan had not only cemented his position as Hokage but had also become the most influential in the history of the village, rivaling even Hashirama.
To the people of Konoha, a leader's strength was measured in victories, and Funan had fought and won all of his battles, even taking on multiple villages at the same time.
However, what truly mattered in the administration of the village—the quiet, steady building of its future—went unnoticed by most. Few recognized Tobirama’s contributions, and the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had further tarnished his legacy by taking credit for successes and blaming failures on Danzo.
Funan had reversed that narrative, using Hiruzen as a garbage dump for any of the village's problems.
The Uchiha finally understood why Funan repeatedly asked to keep Sarutobi Hiruzen.
This is even worse than the previous Danzo.
"Okay, everyone go away!" Fugaku sighed and said: "Behave yourself recently. Haven't you noticed that the Shinobi World is becoming more and more restless? All kinds of demons and monsters have appeared."
"Some things can't be solved just because you are not afraid of death."
"Your death is a small matter, and you have delayed Funan's plan. Haha, think about it yourself!"
The Uchiha looked at each other.
Aren't they talking about who is stronger, Uchiha Funan or Uchiha Madara?
Why did he turn around and scold them?
Tetsuhi sighed and said: "The words of Elder Fugaku reminded me of Funan's words."
"Stop!" Fugaku quickly interrupted. "If they are Funan's words, there is no need to repeat them."
"Don't say it? I will feel uncomfortable."
"Then hold it back."
Tetsuhi showed his Mangekyo and said calmly: "I remember Chief Funan saying something like this: There's no doubt about it, Leader Fugaku has talent... in dealing with the Uchiha!"
"Damn it!"
Fugaku almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Immediately, Fugaku's Mangekyo was also revealed.
Seeing the two pairs of Mangekyo looking at each other, Shisui stepped forward helplessly.
"Everyone, aren't we talking about who is stronger, Uchiha Madara or Uchiha Funan?"
Fugaku said coldly: "Now it's Uchiha Madara, after a few years, it's hard to say."
With that, Fugaku turned around and walked away without looking back.
...
Meanwhile Funan and Yako entered a hidden laboratory in the Forest of Death.
The place was littered with corpses: bodies of White Zetsu and Kiri-nin.
“Hmm… This is fantastic!” Funan nodded repeatedly, excited. “So many corpses together, it’s wonderful!”
Yako looked at him speechless, a little stunned.
"What's wrong? Do you think I'm wrong?" Funan asked with a wicked smile. "Look closely, Yako, how beautiful these bodies are! Especially this kunoichi's. She's still… useful, don't you think?"
"Get out!" Yako exclaimed, unable to contain herself, as she glared at him.
Funan just smiled, walking around the corpses as he examined them carefully. "Well, Yako, it's time for you to leave. You don't need to be here anymore. I'll be staying here for a while."
Even to someone as close as Yako, Funan did not reveal all his secrets. It was not a matter of trust, but knowing too much could sometimes be dangerous.
Yako looked at him suspiciously. "You're not thinking of doing something... weird with that corpse, are you?"
She couldn't help it. The Kiri kunoichi was really attractive, even in death.
"I warn you, Funan, if you do something like that… forget about ever coming near me again!"
Funan's face darkened. He was just joking.
But then, with a mischievous smile, he added: "Although, if you don't trust me, maybe you should… take care of storing my 'strategic resources' in your body. That way I couldn't 'fight' even if I wanted to."
"Idiot!" Yako screamed, her face completely red, before turning around and walking away hurriedly.
Here? In this place, surrounded by thousands of corpses? Not in a million years.
Before leaving, she turned around to say to him through gritted teeth: "You pervert! There is nothing you don't dare to say!"
"Hehe!" Funan smiled and turned his fiery eyes to the corpse of the beautiful kunoichi.
Although dead, it can still be used!
Ahem!
Wrong!
It's Yako's fault for making me think about these things!
He took a deep breath and concentrated.
Although the body is dead, there is still vital energy.
