TUS Chapter 200: Beneath Konoha's Prosperity
🕑 Added 2024-10-03 01:39:33 +0000 UTC"That's right!" Orochimaru smiled and said: "I have helped you to rebalance the forces within your body. The fusion between Hashirama's cells and your body has been more complete, and some of the Uchiha's ocular power has also entered you."
Orochimaru's gaze was so fiery that it seemed he wanted to devour Danzo completely.
"Oh!" Danzo's eyes lit up. "Orochimaru, you did a good job!"
Orochimaru chuckled a few times and said: "By the way, there's a rumor going around right now."
"A rumor?"
"Funan is said to have captured two-, three- and four-tailed beasts."
"Oh!" Danzo pondered. "Tailed beasts? Uchiha Funan is catching tailed beasts?"
"It's just a rumor. No one knows whether it's true or not." Orochimaru said: "But, according to reports, those three tailed beasts really did disappear from their three shinobi villages, and four of the major shinobi villages have sent emissaries to Konoha."
Danzo laughed in a low voice. "True or false, it doesn't matter. Because we need it to be true. If the rumor spreads, then it will become reality."
Orochimaru laughed wantonly and said: "Danzo-sama, you are absolutely right! The rest is up to you. You can now call your subordinates to take you away from here."
Danzo frowned and said: "Orochimaru, I need your strength to deal with Uchiha Funan. Do you understand?"
Orochimaru smiled.
What was wrong with Danzo?
Had his brain gone bad?
When I operated on him, I checked his head, and he hadn't suffered any damage...
"Danzo-sama, it would be my honor to help you, but unfortunately I have my own affairs. I don't have time to play with you right now."
Danzo's face turned gloomy, and with a cold voice he replied: "Orochimaru, do you really think I can't deal with you?"
[Puff!]
Suddenly, Danzo's wounds split open violently. He let out a low groan and fell heavily onto the bed.
"Wow, Danzo-sama! What happened to you?" Orochimaru looked down at Danzo and shouted: "Don't let anything happen to you. If anything happens to you, I... I don't seem to have any losses. I have already got the data I want."
Orochimaru grinned and said: "Danzo, tell me, if I kill you and take your head, how much reward can Uchiha Funan give me?"
"Orochimaru!!!"
Danzo stared at Orochimaru angrily and gritted his teeth and said: "Do you really think I can't deal with you?"
[Puff!]
Blood began to flow even faster from Danzo's wounds.
"Do you want to finish me off? Come on, show me how the honorable Danzo-sama plans to do it."
Orochimaru's smile was insane.
"Orochimaru!"
Danzo said coldly: "You know my secrets, but I know yours too. What do you think would happen if your secrets became public?"
"Does that need to be said?" Orochimaru laughed and said: "Of course, everyone would try to kill me."
"But..."
"Danzo, are you sure those people can find me?"
Orochimaru stared at Danzo.
"Danzo, you seem to have forgotten that after I escaped from Konoha, no one seemed to be able to find me except Jiraiya, the idiot."
"Orochimaru, why deceive yourself!" Danzo said coldly: "The reason why no one can find you is just a kindness of Hiruzen."
"What you say makes sense."
Orochimaru nodded repeatedly and said: "But I don't believe it. Otherwise, let's try it. After I kill you, let's see what will happen to me?"
Danzo was silent.
For Konoha!
For the Shinobi World!
How can he die here?!
"I understand, Orochimaru!" Danzo bowed his head. "Let my men come in!"
His wounds stopped bleeding instantly.
"Smart choice!"
Faced with sarcasm, Danzo remained calm and said calmly: "But I hope we can cooperate. I don't believe that you don't care about the power of Uchiha at all."
This time, it was Orochimaru's turn to be silent.
"How do you want to cooperate?"
A deep voice echoed in the room.
...
Kumo shinobi Urus has arrived in Konoha as an envoy.
The prosperity he saw surprised him.
In the past, although Konoha was the richest village among the five major shinobi villages, it was still much worse than what he was witnessing now.
The streets were crowded with people, a constant bustle filled the air, reflecting a prosperity that gave him the impression that the entire village had taken to the streets.
At that time, Urus' heart sank.
Such a Konoha was not the Konoha he and the Kumo shinobi behind him wanted to see.
In a way, wars are won with money. And with the Uchiha in charge of Konoha, and the village as wealthy as it was now, this was not encouraging to the other villages.
"Someone stole something!"
Just then, a scream rang out.
Then, a crash!
A large group of people rushed up and surrounded the man who was accused of stealing something.
"What a courage!"
"In broad daylight, he dared to steal something!"
"Beat him!"
With a roar, the crowd rushed up.
"Dishonest bastard!"
"Beat him hard!"
There were punches, blows and screams.
"Ah!!!"
The man screamed miserably.
When the Konoha Police team arrived, the thief was already unconscious, barely breathing.
Urus was shocked again.
Is this Konoha?
What's going on?
In the past, Konoha was a peaceful village, where everyone sought to solve problems with diplomacy.
When did they become so fierce?
Urus looked carefully, and it seemed that the thief didn't steal anything valuable.
Is it necessary to beat him so hard?
This is even worse than their Kumogakure.
Unwittingly, Urus and his companions softened their attitude.
They always felt that the people of Konoha were looking at them with ill intentions.
If they continued to behave arrogantly, perhaps they would be the next to get beaten!
The group continued moving towards the Hokage Residence.
On the way, in addition to the incident with the thief, they saw a couple.
It seemed that the husband had done something wrong, because the wife was scolding him fiercely, pointing her finger at him. The man, submissive, was on his knees.
Urus took a deep breath and continued to move forward.
They saw a group of shinobi fighting again, and many civilians around them cheered loudly.
Urus finally couldn't help it and asked the shinobi leading the way. "These shinobi..."
"A training." The Konoha ninja leading the way said without turning his head. "The Hokage believes that only when fighting can we improve ourselves better."
Urus was still puzzled and said: "It seems like they are fighting seriously..."
"That's what the Hokage ordered." The ninja said, still not giving it much importance. "The Hokage said that as long as you can't kill them, beat them to death. After being injured, just throw them to the hospital. Anyway, we have Tsunade-sama, as long as they don't die, they can recover."
"But...but..." Urus felt that he couldn't understand.
They were all comrades from the same village. Weren't they worried that this might lead to problems later on?
The ninja leading the way seemed to understand what Urus was thinking, and he didn't hide it. He said directly: ""The closer the friends are, the more often they train like this."
"Hokage-sama said that this is mutual help!"
"Mutual, help?" Urus had an urge to vomit blood.
"Yes!" The ninja leading the way said meaningfully: "This is what Hokage-sama said, it is better to be injured at the hands of your friends and in the village than to die on the battlefield."
"The more injuries you suffer now, the fewer injuries you will suffer on the battlefield in the future."
"The shinobi who have experienced the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars agree with this statement very much."
Urus was silent for a moment. It was just that heavy breathing that showed his inner restlessness.
Urus looked at the ninjas fighting with complicated eyes.
The ninja leading the way didn't care and continued to lead the way.
The words just now were said publicly by the Hokage, and he didn't intend to hide them.
If other ninja villages want to imitate, then imitate them!
…
The other representatives of the shinobi villages, upon arriving in Konoha, could not help but be surprised at the changes in the village.
"Should we say it's because the Uchiha Clan is in charge as Hokage?"
Someone sneered secretly.
They are very unhappy with such a Konoha.
The envoys from the four major shinobi villages were all gathered in Konoha.
After receiving the envoys, Yako took them to their lodgings, where they would await the audience with Funan the next day.
However, an unexpected visitor also made his appearance: an envoy of the Daimyo.
"Again?"
Funan was also surprised to hear that the Daimyo had sent another envoy.
"A few years ago they came once a month, sometimes several times a month... But last year they didn't even show up. What was the reason for that? Did they drink too much sake?"
"Impossible." Yako replied with a sigh. "Most likely it has to do with the tailed beasts."
Funan thought for a while and said: "Do you think the daimyo suspects that the four villages might try to attack us and that's why he's plotting something now?"
"Exactly!" Yako said seriously. "Hokage-sama, officially all shinobi villages still answer to the daimyo. He represents legitimacy, and whether you like it or not, that won't change."
Funan touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
This time, the incident seems to be a bit big.
There were too many enemies, and if he didn't handle the situation well, Konoha would suffer great losses. And in the end, he would be the one responsible.
He was the Hokage.
He had to protect Konoha!
