TUS Chapter 167: Power Struggles
🕑 Added 2024-08-09 02:36:34 +0000 UTC“Go find Uchiha Funan and ask him to return to become the Fifth Hokage.”
Tsunade's voice was calm.
"Impossible!"
Several shinobi were so angry that they almost jumped up.
"As long as Uchiha dares to leave Konoha, we will dare to take action against them!" Hiruzen said coldly.
Tsunade said disdainfully: “Are you their opponents?”
"You?" Hiruzen frowned and said: "Tsunade, if we really go to war, you are not going to take action?"
"No!" Tsunade spread her hands and said: “Just now, the slug Katsuyu contacted me. I don’t know what method Funan used, but she can summon me through the Reverse Summoning Technique and bring me to the Shikkotsu Forest.”
“If war really breaks out, I won’t be able to participate, do you understand?”
Shikaku said puzzledly: "Tsunade-sama, Funan has a connection with the slug Katsuyu?"
Tsunade was surprised and said: “You didn’t know? Funan’s summoning beast is Katsuyu, didn’t the old man tell you?”
Shikaku also lost his temper this time and stared at Hiruzen angrily.
Hiruzen had a grim expression, not saying a word. He was really embarrassed!
Tsunade understood immediately and laughed.
You deserve to lose. At this time, you are still scheming against each other.
"Me too." Jiraiya said helplessly: "Once the war starts, I can't participate."
"Why?" Hiruzen was shocked and angry. "Mount Myoboku also wants to use the Reverse Summoning Technique to call you?"
Jiraiya looked grim and said: "Funan came to me just now and said he had a great gift for me."
Tsunade muttered: "This kid is not righteous, why didn't he give me a gift?"
Jiraiya glared at her. "You know that's not what I meant."
"The gift he gave me... the seal of the Nine-Tails."
"The Nine-Tails?"
The people present suddenly became alert.
"He said that the seal of the Nine-Tails always had problems. As a villager of Konoha, he couldn't stand it. Before he left, he helped us reinforce the seal of the Nine-Tails!"
Fuck!
Everyone present cursed.
Everyone present was a little discouraged.
[Knock! Knock! Knock!]
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
The person who came in was actually an Uchiha, holding a fruit plate in his hand.
"Hello everyone. Funan-sama estimated that the first stage of your discussion has been completed. He was worried that you were thirsty or hungry, so he asked me to bring some fruit over."
Tsunade was happy and said quickly: "Bring it here, I just want to eat something!"
Others were not so relaxed.
There were several people who looked at the Uchiha in front of them with incredible eyes.
"Tetsuhi?"
"Uchiha Tetsuhi?"
Utatane Koharu screamed: "Aren't you dead? Why? Why are you still alive?"
Tetsuhi blinked and said blankly: "Am I dead? How come I don't know?"
"I have revived?"
"I'm so awesome!"
Go to hell.
The people present were almost vomiting blood.
Shikaku sighed. "Tetsuhi, have you come here just to give us a demonstration? Whatever it is you want, tell me, are the Uchiha who died during Orochimaru's ambush still alive?"
"Who knows?" Tetsuhi shrugged. "Anyway, I'm alive. Oh, by the way, Funan-sama is not dead either."
His tone was somewhat resentful.
"Where is Komehi?"
Shikaku stared at Tetsuhi.
Tetsuhi and Komehi were brothers with a very close relationship. At this time, Shikaku mentioned Komehi to observe Tetsuhi's reaction.
Tetsuhi's face instantly collapsed, and he looked like he was about to cry. He said: "Komehi... Komehi is dead, wuwu, my brother, you died so tragically..."
Shikaku frowned and looked at Tetsuhi.
"Why are you shouting my name?"
A voice came.
Komehi walked into the meeting room, looked at Tetsuhi with dissatisfaction, and said: "You are so careless that you even forgot one detail. Chief Funan asked for seven kinds of fruits to symbolize good luck, but you only brought six."
"Oh, sorry!" Tetsuhi scratched his head awkwardly.
Those present were stunned.
Everyone realized that they couldn't stop the Uchiha from leaving Konoha now. But they couldn't allow them to leave either, otherwise Konoha might disappear. So the only option left for them was to beg the Uchiha to take the position of Hokage so that they would stay.
Shikaku and the others only felt a bitter taste in their mouths. If they had known this was going to happen, why put in so much effort from the start?
It would have been easier to vote for the Uchiha from the start.
"I'll beg him!" Shikaku stood up and said: "As the assistant of Hokage, I ask Uchiha Funan to serve as the Fifth Hokage."
He stood up and walked out the door.
Seeing his figure, Hiruzen seemed to have aged decades, he was full of resignation.
The hand holding the pipe fell weakly.
Teacher, I'm sorry, Konoha still fell into the hands of Uchiha.
Torifu and others were also silent.
Shikaku walked slowly, he was waiting, waiting for others to speak.
If there were still people stopping him, he would naturally stay.
But until the end, no one said anything.
Shikaku closed his eyes, sighed slightly, then opened them and strode away.
…
"What?"
"What did you say?"
"He doesn't want to see me?"
"Uchiha Funan doesn't want to see me?"
Shikaku was detained at the entrance of the Uchiha clan territory.
After expressing his intention, the Uchiha rejected him without hesitation, saying that Funan did not want to see him.
Shikaku was stunned.
At this time, a large amount of supplies were transported into the Uchiha clan.
Shikaku's face changed, and he said: "Yashiro, tell me, what is that?"
"What is that?" Yashiro chuckled and said: "What else can it be? Of course it is daily necessities."
"Are the Uchiha really planning to leave?" Shikaku exclaimed.
"Yes!" Yashiro said coldly: "Shikaku go back and tell those people that if you ask Funan to be the Hokage, then show your sincerity. Let you come alone, what is this? Your status is not that high."
"Tomorrow the Uchiha will leave. You only have one day."
Shikaku left the Uchiha clan in despair.
He thought that they had made a great concession by letting Uchiha Funan become Hokage, but who knew that their demands were more than that.
He alone was not enough.
Uchiha Funan was ready to step on the faces of all the people in Konoha.
...
Within the Uchiha clan.
Funan and Fugaku were drinking tea.
Both of them noticed Shikaku's arrival, but they didn't move.
"Aren't you worried that they will really give up Uchiha?" Fugaku asked curiously: "Uchiha is indeed a trouble for Konoha, and once Uchiha becomes Hokage, it must be passed down for several generations, and those shinobi clans don't want that."
"If Uchiha leaves, Konoha may not be able to withstand even the other three shinobi villages."
"You are absolutely right, so my second step is about to begin."
"Do you have other plans?"
"Yes!"
...
As expected, when Shikaku returned and conveyed Funan's message, Konoha's higher-ups were extremely angry.
"Do they really believe that without the Uchiha, Konoha is doomed to disappear?"
"They think too highly of themselves."
"Sure enough, they are the arrogant Uchiha!"
"Letting them be Hokage is already our biggest concession, and they are pushing it too far!"
Tsunade looked bored at the angry crowd. She really found it tedious.
Obviously they need Uchiha, but they are always unwilling to give up power.
What made her feel particularly ridiculous was that these guys were actually preparing to negotiate with Funan.
Meaning, Funan could be the Hokage, but the positions of Hokage assistant and elder should be assigned to them.
Thinking of this, Tsunade couldn't help yawning.
"Be serious!" Jiraiya couldn't help but remind her.
"Don't you feel bored?"
"It's boring, but it's necessary." Jiraiya looked at the screaming people, feeling helpless.
They were the leaders of Konoha, with great influence and power.
But they are also the leaders of their respective shinobi clans.
Even though they knew they were in an awkward situation, they couldn't help it.
Fighting for a little more now would mean more resources for their descendants and the possibility of more jonin being born within their clans.
This was for the inheritance of their clans and for the lives of their descendants.
Restraining the Uchiha was only a secondary goal.
Tsunade also understood, so she felt even more bored.
Senju is gone.
"Report!" A shinobi arrived at the meeting room.
"Uchiha, what do they want to do? Do they want to tease us again?" Someone couldn't help shouting.
"Ahem!" Tsunade coughed dryly and said: "It may not be Uchiha who comes this time."
After that, she stared at the door with interest.
The shinobi outside the door walked in.
"What's the matter?" Shikaku asked.
"Urgent news from the front line, Sunagakure has gathered more than 5,000 shinobi at the border."
There was silence in the meeting room.
Shikaku asked: "Are Kumo and Iwa doing something?"
"No."
Shikaku frowned.
"What should we do?"
Hiruzen and others looked at each other.
The Uchiha incident has become so chaotic, and it has not been resolved yet, and there is a problem on the front line.
Moreover, this is too coincidental!
"Don't doubt it!" Looking at the people looking at each other, Tsunade said lightly: "The front-line incident must be related to Uchiha. Uchiha Funan should have reached some kind of consensus with Suna."
"Damn Uchiha! Selfish and inconsiderate! Where does that leave Konoha? This is treason, blatant treason!"
Someone cursed.
Tsunade sneered.
