TUS Chapter 189: Jonin Meeting
🕑 Added 2024-09-15 19:43:31 +0000 UTCAll the Jonin arrived at the meeting room of the Hokage Residence.
After greeting many people, Guy and Kakashi sat in the front row.
However, everyone's gaze turned to the two individuals on the stand, who were already organizing the documents.
Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui.
When everyone was seated, several more minutes passed before Funan staggered in.
Beside him, his secretary, Uzumaki Yako, had a flushed face and wet eyes. She seemed uncomfortable walking, moving in an odd manner.
All the jonin present have grim expressions.
“Ahem!”
Funan sat down on the chair and said: "Let's start the meeting. There is something very important and urgent that I must inform you of."
Those present had even more somber expressions.
Very important and urgent?
Look at your appearance, do you look like it?
"There is an organization that focuses on capturing Tailed Beasts. They have already captured the Two-Tails, and it is very likely that they have captured the Four-Tails as well. Luckily, I warned Sunagakure in time, and when they tried to attack, they managed to protect the One-Tails."
That last part, of course, was a lie, but it was necessary to keep up appearances with the other villages.
“Hmm?”
The expressions of the people present changed slightly.
Jiraiya stood up and said: "Funan, is this true?"
Funan glanced at him and sighed. "You still refuse to call me Hokage-sama?"
"... Hokage-sama, please speak."
Jiraiya made a face of resignation, thinking about how much it was difficult for him to deal with Funan.
"Ah, much better!" Funan nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, this organization is extremely cruel. It is said that, except for a rather attractive couple, the rest of its members look like monsters."
Jiraiya looked at him suspiciously and said: "Hokage-sama, have you seen them?"
"See them? I've even fought them! Men or women? It doesn't matter."
"..."
Funan sighed and said: "I have to say, these guys are really strong. Let me put it this way. Everyone has heard of them. They are all S-level rebels from various shinobi villages."
At this moment, Jiraiya's expression also became serious.
Funan said: "You all know what S-level rebels mean. For example, if Jiraiya had not accepted my order and returned to Konoha, I would have directly drawn a cross under his name, and he would have been an S-level rebel. What do you think of him?"
Jiraiya: "...This is a good analogy."
Tsunade, who was hiding in the corner, shrank her neck.
Kakashi stood up and said: "Hokage-sama, do you know who are the missing-nin?"
"I know a few, after all, we have fought!" Funan said in a deep voice: "For example, Orochimaru!"
"What?" Jiraiya almost jumped up again.
"Yes, Jiraiya!" Funan looked at Jiraiya sadly and said: "It's your dearest Orochimaru. Alas, I wanted him to turn over a new leaf and return to the village, and I would personally hold a wedding for you and him..."
"Wait, wait!"
Jiraiya's jaw dropped and he interrupted quickly, saying: "Hokage-sama, Orochimaru and I are friends, just like... Kakashi and Guy!"
Kakashi suddenly had a bad premonition.
"I could also prepare a wedding for them two..."
"Hokage-sama, who are the other S-rank rebels?"
Kakashi interrupted Funan loudly.
Funan glared at him and said: "Hoshigaki Kisame of Kirigakure!"
"Deidara of Iwagakure!"
"As for the others, we are still gathering information. I will inform you in due time."
Three names!
Even the jonin present couldn't help but frown. These three weren't just any enemies. As Funan had said, each of them was more problematic than the last.
"I am now officially establishing a special team... Taka, specializing in hunting these S-rank traitors!"
Funan stood up suddenly and said loudly: "The initiative cannot be placed on these people."
Everyone nodded.
"Jiraiya!"
Funan first selected Jiraiya, but he did not ask him to join the Taka Team. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "Naruto is in your hands. Give him all your real skills and make him a real Jinchuriki as soon as possible."
"This..." Jiraiya was startled and said: "You mean, let him control the Nine-Tails."
"Yes!" Funan said decisively: "The shinobi world is changing. I have a hunch that it will not be peaceful. I don't ask Naruto to do anything. At least, I want him to have the ability to protect himself."
"I understand!"
Jiraiya nodded after a brief silence. Let Naruto have a certain ability to protect himself, which is also what he hopes.
"The members of the Taka Team are tentatively five people, Hatake Kakashi, Might Guy, Hyuga Hiashi, and Uchiha Shisui, and the captain is Aburame Shibi!"
Funan said: "Later, I will add other members."
The five people stood up and agreed.
"By the way..." Funan suddenly said: "How is the pursuit of Orochimaru by the Third Hokage?"
There was an awkward silence.
"What? No one from the Sarutobi clan came?"
Funan looked at the people present, and finally fixed on a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
It was not strange, that man was part of the Sarutobi clan.
This guy has an indissoluble bond with monkeys.
Sarutobi Asuma is an exception.
Funan found it hard to believe that Asuma was Hiruzen's biological son.
The man felt uncomfortable being looked at and stood up and said unwillingly: "Hokage-sama, the Third Hokage has never stopped hunting down Orochimaru, but Orochimaru is hiding deeper."
"So, so far, you haven't accomplished anything, right?" Funan asked, with a cutting tone.
The man did not know what to answer.
Funan said lightly: "At least he was Hokage of Konoha at one time..."
Under the strange gaze of the crowd, the Sarutobi sat down with a red face, and he was helpless in his heart.
Hiruzen didn't even dare to leave the village, for fear that Funan would find an excuse to attack the Sarutobi clan in his absence.
And if the Sarutobi clan ended up being accused of treason, it would be forever stained in Konoha's history.
So, facing Funan's sarcasm, no matter how many times, they can only endure it.
"Listen carefully." Funan turned his gaze to all the jonin present. "If you encounter anyone from that organization on any mission, retreat immediately! Even if it means abandoning the mission."
"Be careful, or you could lose your life."
Kakashi said: "Hokage-sama, what is the name of that organization, and what are the characteristics of their people?"
"This..." Funan thought for a while, took out his windbreaker as Akatsuki, put it on, and took out his ring and put it on.
"Everyone, look carefully. The people from Akatsuki are wearing black windbreakers with red clouds, and they also have rings on their hands."
Funan gestured at the windbreaker and the ring.
Konoha Jonin: "..."
"Is everyone clear on this?"
Funan, wearing Akatsuki’s windbreaker, smiled at the Konoha jonin present, pointed at his nose, and said: "They are Akatsuki, they all dress like me. Of course, none of them are as handsome as me!"
“When you see someone dressed like me, don’t be slow. If you can kill them, just kill them. Don’t hesitate or hold back, unless you are tired of living.”
“Of course, it’s best to run away immediately after seeing them, because these guys are really dangerous. Understand?”
“Understood!”
The jonin looked weird, and their voices were even weirder.
“Very good.” Funan clapped his hands and said: “Dismissed! Everyone go home and find their mothers!”
[Swish!]
Most of the jonin present left.
The rest, especially the Uchiha people, stared at Funan.
"What are you doing?"
Funan looked at those people unhappily and said: "Are you planning to rebel, or do you want to try your luck with me? Come on, we're all Uchiha. I'll give you the advantage and fight with one eye!"
"Hokage-sama, why do you have Akatsuki's clothes? And Akatsuki's ring?"
After making sure that everyone who should leave had left, Fugaku stared and asked coldly.
"Hey, Fugaku, not bad, you have grown up and dare to talk to me in such a questioning tone? Did I beat you too little?"
"Don't give me that!"
Fugaku slammed the table and said angrily: "Answer my question immediately, damn it, do you think everyone is a fool? Uchiha Funan!"
Fugaku felt like he was going crazy.
You are the Hokage!
The head of the Uchiha clan!
How could you do such a thing?
Did you get into the nest of missing-nin?
"Tsk! Tsk!" Funan clicked her tongue and looked at Fugaku. "Elder Fugaku, can you not be anxious? Look at Itachi and Shisui, are they so anxious?"
Those present were either Uchiha or loyal to the Uchiha clan, so they didn't bother to hide anything.
Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui were indeed very calm.
It was as if they didn't hear what Funan said, and they remained calm about Funan's performance just now.
Fugaku looked at the two suspiciously and said: "You, how can you..."
"Father, what if they know?" Itachi sighed and said: "Even if everyone knows that the Hokage is from Akatsuki, so what? What can they do?"
Fugaku was stunned. "Isn't this serious?"
Itachi said weakly: "Elder Fugaku, don't you know how strong the Uchiha is now? Look, how many people are here?"
Fugaku looked at those present and was stunned. He was so used to seeing his own people that he had never stopped to count.
And that wasn't all! Whenever jonin meetings were held, some were away on missions or on important posts, which prevented them from attending.
"In other words..."
"Uchiha's jonin is close to half of the entire Konoha!"
Fugaku was a little dizzy.
Itachi's answer proved his guess. "Elder Fugaku, the number of Uchiha's jonin now exceeds 130. Even if someone wants to do something to Uchiha, we are not afraid. We will win the war."
Itachi's words were full of excitement.
The power of Uchiha has reached an unprecedented level of strength.
Shisui smiled and said: "Besides, what's wrong with Hokage having another identity? It's not a one-day thing for the master to make trouble. The shinobi of Konoha have long been resistant to it and don't care."
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Funan said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by making trouble? I had to go deep behind enemy lines to protect Konoha."
"Look!" Shisui spread his hands and said: "Hokage has found a legitimate reason himself, hasn't he?"
"Okay!" Fugaku sighed helplessly and said: "What about the other villages? Will they let it go if they know that the Hokage is from Akatsuki?"
"Why do you care about them?"
Funan said indifferently: "I send them some information about Akatsuki, and they will come running to kneel before me."
This is unpleasant to hear, but it is also true.
Fugaku said seriously: "Don't be careless, Funan, do you remember what you said to me? When you think you will win, the enemy is most likely to give you a fatal blow."
"Yes, our internal forces are strong, but if they ally with external forces, it could unleash unimaginable chaos."
"I know that." Funan laughed softly and said: "But you also have to consider the current moment."
The border of Konoha is almost entirely guarded by shinobi from the neutral faction of Konoha.
The shinobi of the Sarutobi clan and the Uchiha clan were all inside the village.
Even the Ino-Shika-Cho trio had been dispersed.
They no longer posed a threat to Funan.
There was no way they could stand up to him.
Even if they wanted to ally, they couldn't.
They probably already regretted having underestimated him.
They never thought that Funan could manage Konoha so well.
In just a few years, Konoha not only expanded its strength, but also developed its economy at a high speed.
This led to Funan gaining a lot of popularity, and his prestige in Konoha was close to that of the first Hokage.
Moreover, will they join forces?
In these years, Funan had managed to attract a part of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.
Funan's Mangekyo ability is really excellent.
And, as Hokage, he had a natural advantage in manipulating public opinion.
Funan really doesn't know what qualifications Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the others have to fight him.
Even if they concentrate all their strength and fight him alone, the Eternal Mangekyo can also make them return to the factory and start over.
"Actually, I'm just playing." Funan laughed softly. If he wanted to, he would have taken action and solved all these people long ago with the Eternal Mangekyo.
