TUS Chapter 198: It’s for Konoha... But Please Stop Saying That!
🕑 Added 2024-09-28 04:33:37 +0000 UTC"Hokage-sama, Hokage-sama!"
The call awakened Sarutobi Hiruzen who was in deep thought.
"Itachi!"
"Hokage, have you decided when to start?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen had a headache.
Itachi's dissatisfaction with Funan was deepening, and he was already showing signs of losing control.
This can't go on like this!
It's very dangerous!
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply and said: "Itachi, can I trust you?"
Itachi was startled, and immediately said: "Of course, everything I do is for Konoha!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."
"Itachi!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said kindly: "Don't say that."
"Why?" Itachi said puzzledly. "Isn't everything we do for Konoha?"
"Yes, of course!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously. "But we have to rely on actions, not words."
Damn, every time he heard Itachi say this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart was beating.
He always had a bad feeling.
So, he had to refuse Itachi to say this again.
He wanted to eliminate that kind of uneasiness.
He didn't want his heart to have problems.
"You're right." Itachi thought for a while and said: "But I think we should always be prepared. Besides, reminding him of that from time to time will help him not to forget."
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."
But every time you yell like that, I feel something is wrong.
"Hokage-sama, when will you take action?"
Uchiha Itachi called back the distracted Sarutobi Hiruzen and said with dissatisfaction: "I don't want to see Uchiha Funan so arrogant, he must get the punishment he deserves!"
"Besides, everything we do is for Konoha!"
It's for Konoha again!
Danzo, you really taught a good apprentice!
"Alas, Itachi, don't worry, there will be news soon." Hiruzen said, trying to calm him down. "What do you think of Danzo?"
"Danzo-sama?"
Itachi was startled, and said helplessly: "He is too anxious, he shouldn't act so urgently, oh, Hokage-sama, I understand what you mean."
What did you understand? Tell me, let me understand it too!
"You mean I shouldn't learn from Danzo, right?"
"Don't worry, I will keep my cool!"
"I won't do anything unless I'm absolutely sure!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled on the surface, but in his mind...
Forget it!
He was not wrong to think so.
There was no point in sacrificing him for no reason.
After all, Itachi was practically an advisor to the Hokage already, and he needed to be used at the most appropriate time.
Although, in reality, that was not Hiruzen's intention.
"Ahem!" Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed a few times and said: "Itachi, I have decided to join forces with Danzo to eliminate Uchiha Funan together. What do you think?"
"Really?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were tentative.
Because Danzo is now a traitor.
And Hiruzen wasn't entirely sure how Itachi would view such a collaboration.
Who knew that after hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Itachi looked surprised.
"If we can contact Danzo-sama, our chances of winning will definitely increase greatly."
"...Yes." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked suspicious.
At the beginning, he was still worried that Itachi would have an opinion about this.
Now it seems that their training of Itachi was very successful.
Afterwards, Itachi told Sarutobi Hiruzen all about Funan's deployment.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was overwhelmed with emotion.
Knowing this, as long as he launched an attack on Uchiha, he could immediately make the other side suffer a great loss.
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not doubt Itachi, the double agent.
He was suspicious by nature. No matter how loyal Itachi was to him, he could not change the fact that he was an Uchiha.
But everything Itachi had given them so far was flawless!
So far, the information Itachi provided them was enough for them to completely infiltrate Uchiha.
It is impossible that Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo did not have hidden cards in Uchiha.
They still have several hidden cards that are buried very deeply.
The secrets revealed by those spies matched perfectly with what Itachi had told them.
Looking at it this way, those hidden cards seemed useless. They had been dormant for so long, but the information they gave them was less than one-third of Itachi's.
It was just a waste!
This information was the trump card that Sarutobi Hiruzen had a certain chance of winning against Funan.
Itachi said goodbye.
He couldn't stay here any longer.
Funan assigned him many tasks, and he had to carry them out.
After Itachi left, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked back to the room slowly, closed the door, closed his eyes, sensed the surroundings, and made sure that there was no one around before he formed seals with his hands.
[Bang!]
The wall in front of him turned into a door.
Sarutobi Hiruzen opened it and walked in.
Inside, there was another room, filled with documents.
In the center, there was a table.
Sarutobi Hiruzen came to the table, looked at the documents on it silently, and sighed softly.
At the beginning of the documents, a few words stood out in large letters:
[Operation Destroy Konoha]
"After all, has it come to this?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on the ground in a daze, his eyes dull, not knowing what he was thinking.
Sensei, if you were still alive, what would you do?
At least, Konoha must not fall into the hands of Uchiha!
…
"Kakashi!!!"
"Oh my god, Kakashi!"
A shrill scream rang out.
The nurses and doctors in the hospital all shuddered and looked at the door with strange eyes.
Kakashi, who was about to get out of bed, shuddered in fright, with an expression as if he had swallowed something bitter.
Just by hearing the voice, he already knew who it was.
Uchiha Funan!
Just hearing that voice made Kakashi feel like crying.
"Kakashi, my Kakashi, are you okay?"
Funan rushed into the hospital like a gust of wind, grabbed Kakashi and shook him, and the mask was almost shaken off.
"Hokage... Hokage-sama!"
“Poor Kakashi! You can’t even speak properly anymore. You must have suffered a lot!” Funan said to Guy with tears in his eyes: "Guy, where is the youth? Use your youth to wake up Kakashi! We all believe in youth so much, and the passion of youth will never let us down. Let it burn!"
"Don't worry, Hokage-sama!" Guy immediately stood at attention, his eyes seemed to be on fire and shouted: "I will definitely complete the task, I will take Kakashi and run a thousand laps around Konoha!"
Kakashi's lips were trembling.
"Hokage, as long as you don't shake me, I can survive. Believe me, I am really healthy."
Kakashi rolled his dead eyes and looked at Funan.
"So..."
"Hokage-sama, are you disappointed?"
"How is it possible! Haha! Hahaha!"
Funan put Kakashi down, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Not bad, he is indeed much healthier than I thought."
"Hokage-sama!"
Kakashi's expression was very serious, and he said: "Obito... I saw Uchiha Obito!"
“It must have been a genjutsu.” Funan said indifferently: "Uchiha Obito, my clansman, has been buried underground for more than ten years, and there is no bone residue left."
"Impossible!" Kakashi said decisively. "I am very sure that I was not hit by a genjutsu at that time."
"Yeah, I believe you!" Funan nodded repeatedly and said: "Nine out of ten people who are hit by a genjutsu say it, and the rest who don't say it is because they are already half dead."
"I..."
Kakashi was upset, why did no one believe him.
"Hokage, I'm sure I didn't get hit by a genjutsu. Really. I'll use my Sharingan to guarantee it!"
"I've already said it. I believe you!"
Funan's tone was as if he was coaxing a child. He looked at Kakashi with an eye patch.
"What are you going to do with your eye?"
Kakashi sighed and said: "What else can I do? I'm sorry to Obito for losing his eye."
Funan pondered for a moment and said: "Isn't it just losing an eye? It's not a big deal. I have two choices."
"Two choices?"
"First, I'll find you an ordinary eye." Funan smiled and said: "There are still many human organs in our laboratory."
Kakashi's eyelids were twitching.
He had also heard about what the man in front of him had done in recent years.
He constantly collected death row prisoners and missing-nin.
Many people were saying that Uchiha Funan was conducting human experiments.
If it weren't for the strength of the Uchiha and the strength of Uchiha Funan, something bad would have happened long ago.
So when Funan said 'it's just one eye', Kakashi believed him.
"The second one..."
Funan looked at Kakashi and said: "I'll give you another Sharingan! A three-tomoe Sharingan!"
Kakashi was startled and looked hesitant.
When Obito gave him the Sharingan, it caused quite a stir in Konoha.
Uchiha was not satisfied.
Danzo was also secretly coveting it.
If it weren't for the support of his sensei and the Third Hokage, Kakashi would probably be buried next to Obito.
However, thinking of Uchiha Funan's reputation in the Uchiha clan, he calmed down again.
The man in front of him is the one who truly has the final say in the Uchiha clan.
So, what should I choose?
"Kakashi, there is one thing you should have discovered." Funan looked at Kakashi and said slowly: "You are not a Uchiha, so even if you have the Sharingan, you can't play its full role. On the contrary, the Sharingan will drag down your strength progress."
Kakashi was silent. How could he not notice it.
He could sense that the Sharingan was constantly consuming his chakra, hindering his progress.
However, Obito's eye was his legacy, and he would never dare to abandon it.
What about now?
What should he choose now?
