TUS Chapter 226: Funan's Big Secrets...
🕑 Added 2024-11-12 14:30:28 +0000 UTCFunan looked at Mei in surprise and said: "How was I supposed to know? Mei, even though I really want to help you from the bottom of my heart, this is beyond my reach."
Mei smiled stiffly.
"Hokage!" The Raikage said solemnly: "According to the agreement we just signed, each village must have at least one tailed beast. If not, other villages will help. What, do you want to deny it?"
"Of course not! I have a strong sense of contract!" Funan laughed and said: "Ah, so that's what the clause was for."
The Raikage said lightly: "Kirigakure must have a Tailed Beast. That is the basis of our agreement between villages. If not, the Fourth Great Shinobi War will not end, or is that what you wish?"
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious." Funan spread his hands and said: “Okay, I accept, but you can’t just focus on me.”
Suddenly, all eyes turned to Onoki.
Onoki's expression turned grim.
Funan said in a deep voice: "Onoki brat, you can remain silent, but everything you say will..."
[Buzz!]
Dust Release began to condense between Onoki's palms.
Onoki roared with a ferocious look: "If you dare call me a brat again, I will fight you to the death."
"Okay, Onoki brat!"
"Ahem!" The Raikage interrupted Onoki hastily.
After discussing to this point, no one wanted to continue fighting.
The Fourth Shinobi War was bound to end unless Kiri obtained a Tailed Beast.
"Onoki br... ahem!" The Raikage coughed dryly and said: “Tsuchikage, if you know something, it would be best if you shared it.”
Onoki looked at the Raikage in disbelief. This bastard, did he want to say something about Onoki brat just now?
Onoki replied with a gloomy face.
"I don't know much either."
"I don't know much either."
The scene was silent.
Everyone looked at Funan speechlessly.
The last sentence had been said by Onoki, but Funan repeated it right after, echoing it with eerie precision.
Onoki's face turned green on the spot.
Funan spread his hands and said: "I knew Onoki brat would say that, hum, there is no sincerity at all."
The whole place remained in an awkward silence.
Onoki took two deep breaths, gritted his teeth and said: "Deidara did pass on information to me once, but with his current identity, he is destined not to tell me much. His betrayal is true, but he said that Uchiha Funan is also a member of the Akatsuki organization."
Funan said without hesitation: "I am not!"
Onoki widened his eyes and shouted angrily: “You dare to deny it?!”
"Why?" Funan said dissatisfiedly: "You all believe the words of a traitor, but not a Hokage? Does that traitor have such a heavy weight in your hearts?"
Hearing this, the people present were completely speechless.
This makes sense, and they really have nothing to say.
"Alas!" Mei sighed and said: "Hokage-sama, please set some conditions."
"Conditions? What conditions?" Funan blinked and said: "I'm serious... Well, I wonder if there are any clues in Konoha's archives. Why don't you come with me to look for them, Mizukage-sama?"
The people present were furious.
"No!"
"Impossible!"
“I'd rather keep fighting than accept that.”
The other Kage flatly rejected the idea. The Uchiha were experts in genjutsu, and if the Mizukage went to Konoha alone, who knew what they could do to her mind.
Even Mei frowned in concern. She knew more than the others: the third Mizukage had been controlled by genjutsu.
"Oh, sorry!" Terumi Mei sighed and said: "Hokage-sama, I can't agree to this condition."
Funan blinked and said: “Don’t you think you’re exaggerating? I just wanted Mei to accompany me back to Konoha. Who knows, maybe something will happen along the way that will improve our mental and physical health.”
The corners of the mouths of the people present twitched.
"Hokage-sama, please be serious!"
“What’s wrong?” Funan replied, looking at the Taki-nin. “Do you think I’m joking?”
That's why it was even more terrifying.
"No, no, no!" The Taki-nin took a step back, frightened. He wouldn't dare offend the strongest ninja of his time.
“What I mean is… Mizukage-sama, even if you want, we must think about your safety.”
“Tsk!” Funan clicked his tongue. “Once we’re on the road, she won’t have a choice.”
Mei: "..."
"Hokage-sama, please make the conditions."
"This..." Funan fell into deep thought, and his eyes glanced at Mei from time to time.
Mei had a blank expression and ignored him.
"Oh, okay!" Funan said helplessly: "Who makes me worry so much about you? Give me 50 million and we'll close the deal."
The huge contrast between the two conditions made Mei feel a little unreal.
"Okay, I promise you!"
Funan smiled. "It's a deal."
“Well, Hokage...” Mifune intervened. “The Mizukage has already agreed, now you must fulfill your part and share the information you have.”
"Huh?" Funan looked at Mifune in astonishment and said: "Mifune, you are still here? I thought you left, so why are you still here?"
Mifune stopped talking.
"Hmm!" Funan thought for a while, and said: "First of all, I want to tell you that the leader of the Akatsuki organization is named Pain. His strength is very strong, very strong. I have fought with him, and I can only say that he has a slight advantage."
Everyone present frowned.
They were very doubtful about Funan's words, especially his 'slight advantage'.
But one thing is certain, Pain must be very strong, otherwise he wouldn't be able to control so many S-rank missing-nin.
"Secondly, most of his subordinates are missing-nin."
"Most?" The Raikage couldn't help but question.
"Yes!" Funan looked at the Raikage strangely and said: "Pain also has his own group of loyalists, he's not a missing-nin from any particular village. Did you really think all of his followers were defectors from other villages? Where would you get so many?"
The Raikage: "..."
Funan then shared with the others some information about the Six Paths of Pain, although there really wasn't much to tell; at least, not beyond what had already been seen.
"Now I will talk about one of your most important officers and one of the pillars of Akatsuki, Deidara."
"He is one of the fiercest generals under Pain's command!"
Onoki almost flipped the table.
"Hokage-sama, you don't need to tell us about Deidara." The Taki-nin said helplessly. "We all know about Deidara."
"You all know?" Funan was not happy. He stared at the Tsuchikage and said: "Onoki brat, why didn't you tell me? Aren't we friends?"
Onoki sighed and threw a scroll to Funan.
Funan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Then let's talk about the second most important member of the Akatsuki organization, Biwa Juzo."
"..."
"You don't need to tell us about him either!" Mei threw a scroll to Funan with a helpless expression. "This is the information about Biwa Juzo and Hoshigaki Kisame."
"This is the information about Sasori." Rasa, who had been silent all the time, also gave a scroll to Funan.
Funan blinked and said: "Wow, you know too much... So why are you asking me?"
"We want to know the information about Orochimaru, Hiruko, the masked man, and the black and white man. By the way, we also want the information about the woman next to Pain."
Funan shrugged and said: "Unfortunately, I know very little about Orochimaru's situation. Well, this is for you." He took out a scroll and, after writing down a few details, passed it to them.
Upon reviewing it, those present frowned.
Information was scarce, just a few more details than they already knew.
"Is that all?" They asked, somewhat dissatisfied.
"Yes!" Funan said: "I only know that the masked man knows space-time ninjutsu, the black and white man is very good at earth release ninjutsu, Hiruko has a problem... he has multiple kekkei genkai, which is very strange. Orochimaru, hehe, don't ask me about that, I really don't know!"
The Raikage said coldly: "They are missing-nin from Konoha, how come you don't know anything about them?"
"What's so strange about this?" Funan said disdainfully. "Killer Bee is still your brother, do you even know all his information?"
"Of course I know!"
"I don't believe you," Funan said confidently. "If not, tell me what you know."
"I..." The Raikage almost flipped the table.
Mei sighed and said: "Hokage, this is all the information you have. How much do you think it is worth?"
'I paid 50 million ryo, and you show me this?'
Funan thought about it. 'If Deidara was a traitor, what would he tell Onoki?'
"That's right!" Funan's eyes lit up, and he said solemnly: "I'll tell you a piece of absolutely valuable news."
Funan looked mysterious and said: "Do you know who the leader of Akatsuki is? He has the legendary Rinnegan!"
Seeing Funan's expression that seemed to have told one of the greatest secrets of the shinobi world, everyone present felt like vomiting blood.
The first thing Deidara had told them was that Pain possessed the Rinnegan.
Onoki sighed and said weakly: "Hokage, if you want to talk, let's continue talking. If not..."
"This doesn't satisfy you? Then I'll say more!"
"Pain is not the real leader of Akatsuki. According to my investigation, there is another person behind Pain!"
Hmm?
Those presents immediately became alert.
"Is it true?"
"Absolutely!" Funan nodded heavily, looking a little hesitant.
"Hokage, if you have something to say, say it at once. We are not children."
"Okay!" Funan nodded and said: "I also investigated the leader behind Pain and found a clue."
Everyone looked at Funan tensely.
"Ahem!" Funan coughed and said in a low voice: "I can feel... the chakra of Wood Release on that person!"
"Impossible!" Onoki screamed as he abruptly stood up and exclaimed: "Senju Hashirama, he's dead! He's definitely dead."
“Pay attention!” Funan replied seriously. “I only said that I felt the Wood Release chakra on that person, not that it is Senju Hashirama. Besides, it is just a feeling. My perception could be wrong.”
Everyone's expressions turned grim.
A ninja of Funan's level, is it possible for him to be wrong?
If he has felt something like this, it is likely that that person really has some connection with Wood Release.
This could be a problem.
The Raikage looked at Funan: "Konoha..."
“That person has absolutely nothing to do with the Senju clan of Konoha!" Funan answered firmly.
