TUS Chapter 201: Diplomacy with a Kick
🕑 Added 2024-10-05 04:19:56 +0000 UTCAfter pondering the intention of the Daimyo and the other shinobi villages, Funan clapped lightly and said: "Okay, I understand. Have the emissary return for now and tell two of the villages to retreat as well. There are too many people gathered here, and that only increases the pressure. I can't handle it!"
Yako looked at him incredulously, with a nervous tic at the corner of her lips.
"Hokage-sama, can you stop making trouble?"
"Do you think I am making trouble?"
Without another word, Yako turned on her heel and walked away.
If you are not making trouble, no one will believe it.
I might as well go back and think about how to face the questions from other shinobi villages tomorrow instead of wasting time with you here.
You can tell with your toes that tomorrow will definitely be a tough battle!
Four shinobi villages and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire...
"What a bad temper!" Funan curled his lips and said: "If you weren't so pretty, I would have already... hehe, but of course, precisely because you are so pretty, I have also given you..."
Just as Yako reached the door, her footsteps stopped. She turned her head, her cheeks flushed and shot a glare at Funan before saying in a low voice: "Be careful. This time we can't tell how many enemies there are or from what angle they'll attack. You have to be ready for whatever comes next."
As she spoke these words, her face took on a stern expression.
"Come, enemies!" Yako muttered with an icy expression. "I'll make you regret ever setting foot in Konoha!"
"What are you thinking about, Yako?" Funan's voice sounded close to her ear.
Without her realizing it, Funan was already by her side, looking at her with a smile.
"On how to execute those guys." Yako replied bluntly.
"Hehe, you don't need to worry." Funan gently wrapped her in his arms. "I will deal with all the enemies, you don't need to do anything."
"Four shinobi villages and one daimyo, is that powerful?"
"Haha!"
"The truth is... it's not a big deal."
Funan kissed Yako on the forehead. "Go home, sleep well tonight."
In his eyes, the Mangekyo Sharingan activated, displaying its malevolent triangular symbols.
"Yes." Yako pulled away from his arms and suddenly said: "You told me that you brought Karin and I to Konoha to have more cards up your sleeve, since our healing abilities could help you recover quickly."
"Yes!" Funan smiled and said: "Although I haven't had to use your abilities so far."
"You must remember this sentence. When you need it, you must come and bite us!"
"If I'm not here, then go and bite Karin!"
"What a cruel mother!" Funan laughed and said: "Karin is less than ten years old, but you instigated a man to bite her?"
Yako said calmly: "Without you, we will return to hell."
"Rather than living a life worse than death, it is better to make certain sacrifices!"
...
The changes in Konoha shocked the four great shinobi villages, and the envoy of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was no exception.
It seemed that every time they arrived in Konoha, this village underwent some significant change!
Now, the population of Konoha has increased dramatically, but every household has become richer.
In addition, the local people had adopted a more combative attitude.
The most notable thing was the fighting arenas.
From time to time, shinobi would organize fights there.
Funan has also set up a reward and punishment system for this.
Those who accumulated a certain number of victories received generous prizes.
But those who lost had to face certain penalties.
Konoha has undoubtedly made great progress.
This situation did not please the other four great shinobi villages or the Daimyo's emissary at all.
As soon as they returned to their residences, they began to exchange information.
Originally, they gathered here because of the tailed beasts.
Now, even without the tailed beasts, they still want to suppress Konoha.
In addition, some shinobi began to contact Sarutobi Hiruzen secretly.
...
Konoha, on the surface, was calm.
However, in the shadows, a storm was already brewing.
Virtually every shinobi village was beginning to grow restless.
The development of Konoha worries them.
The daimyo's envoy was also worried.
After four years of development under Funan’s direction, the entire area within the boundaries of the Konoha barrier had been filled with buildings.
Even a part of the Forest of Death had been occupied.
Not only has the quality of life in Konoha begun to improve, but even the population has begun to expand.
It was safe to say that as long as Konoha's economy didn't collapse, the village would continue to grow without stopping.
And that was something that was impossible for the other villages to bear.
It was clear that they would have to act.
"That sounds really nice." Funan said sarcastically as he walked towards the meeting room after hearing Yako's report. "Yako, do you really think they've only just noticed the changes in Konoha?"
"Impossible!" Yako replied without hesitation, shaking his head. "Although the ANBU and the Konoha Police have worked very hard, and have achieved impressive results, I am sure that there are still spies from other villages hiding in Konoha."
Funan shrugged. "The tailed beast is just an excuse they found. Even without this excuse, they will think of other ways to deal with Konoha."
Yako glanced at him. "Without that excuse, at least they wouldn't have had the advantage."
Funan still shook his head. "There are many reasons. For example, when a battle breaks out on the front line, it doesn't matter who takes the initiative or who is right. In this world, fists are the key."
"During the reign of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hyuga Hizashi of the Hyuga clan is an obvious example."
Yako paused and said: "That's taking it too far."
Funan, without stopping, replied: "Other shinobi villages may just be afraid."
"Of course, Konoha absolutely disagrees with their views."
While talking, they have arrived at the reception room.
On the deputy seat next to the main seat, the daimyo's envoy was looking at him with dissatisfaction, and said coldly: "The Hokage's pomp is quite big..."
Funan did not reply. Instead, he walked straight towards the envoy and, with a swift blow…
[Bang!]
A kick sent him flying until he fell to the center of the room, rolling on the floor.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"In Konoha..." Funan sat down calmly and said: "The person sitting in the main seat is always me, and always the Hokage."
"The rest… get out of here."
He watched as the Daimyo's envoy stood up, still dazed, and added: "Move a chair for him in the corner."
The faces of the people present changed slightly.
Urus stood up and said: "Hokage-sama, is this attitude typical of someone willing to cooperate? Is Konoha planning to separate from the Land of Fire?"
"Separate?" Funan replied dismissively, leaning back in his chair. "I understand that in Kumo they respect strength. They say that the Fourth Raikage earned his position by defeating all of his competitors. Is the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning stronger than the Raikage?"
Urus's face changed drastically and said: "This is different..."
"What's the difference?" Funan interrupted him directly and said: "Have they fought? Or the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning has one more eye, one nose, and one mouth than the Raikage?"
"Or, the Raikage thinks that the blood flowing in his body is not as good as the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning? Is he naturally inferior to the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning?"
There is no way to respond to this!
No one present could respond.
Unless the Raikage himself is here.
Compared with the daimyo, the Raikage himself admitted that it didn't matter. Who else dared to answer this question on behalf of the Raikage?
Funan looked at the people present with a disdainful look and said: "My Uchiha blood is the most noble in the shinobi world. Who is not convinced? Single or group fight, I let you choose!"
With one sentence, many people who were ready to provoke were held back. At the same time, they were shocked by Funan's words.
The Uchiha clan members, on the other hand, were visibly excited. The Sharingan in their eyes began to spin.
Itachi also stood up and said: "The clan leader is right. Which shinobi from the villages present wants to test the Uchiha?"
He turned his gaze to Ao of Kiri. "I've heard that Kirigakure has many shinobi clans. Why don't you send five of your shinobi to confront me?"
Ao's face turned green, but he remained silent.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was also very satisfied.
It is worthy of being Itachi.
Once again, he had managed to make the Uchiha more enemies.
Itachi has a very hot will of fire.
He also believes that Uchiha is a factor of instability in Konoha.
In the reception room, there was silence.
Funan said coldly: "Maybe there was a shinobi clan that could compare with us before, but unfortunately, their current clan leader personally tore down the clan, and a huge clan came to an end."
"Ahem!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help it and said: "The Second Hokage only wanted the Senju clan to integrate into Konoha, to become part of this great family!"
"Well said!" Funan clapped his hands repeatedly and said: "So the Senju clan disappeared and completely integrated into Konoha. During the rule of their disciples, they integrated so deeply that when I became Hokage, after digging for years, I didn't find a single bone! I have no idea where in the great tree of Konoha they integrated. Maybe they were turned into fertilizer!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened. He could already sense the strange looks from the people around him.
Tsunade, who was hiding in the corner with Jiraiya, preparing to watch the show, also had a green face.
Jiraiya on the side was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
