TUS Chapter 174: Funan's Plans and Konan's Limp
🕑 Added 2024-08-21 22:27:43 +0000 UTCAfter Konan left, a figure slowly emerged from the ground: it was Zetsu.
"Oh my, I heard something incredible." Zetsu laughed in a low voice.
"Although I don't know the reason, Uchiha Funan obviously knows a lot."
"You are right, I know a lot."
A mocking voice replied.
"You...!" Zetsu shuddered in terror and instinctively tried to sink back into the ground.
[Snap!]
A hand grabbed his neck and pulled him out of the ground.
"Pulling up a carrot, pulling up a carrot, hey, hey, pulling up a carrot...!" Funan hummed as he held Zetsu. "Why are you trying to run away, little Zetsu? I've been looking for you for a long time. Don't make that face, I'm telling the truth. I love White Zetsu like you."
Without giving Zetsu time to respond, an overwhelming force absorbed him into Funan's body.
The sacred tree in Funan's body suddenly became active.
The fruit also became more colorful.
A huge and pure vitality flowed in Funan's body.
"I knew it!" Funan murmured to himself. "White Zetsu is of great significance to the God Tree. Perhaps, his vitality is not the strongest among the people he devoured, but it is definitely the most suitable."
"It's a pity that I can't find the 100,000 White Zetsu, otherwise, I would have had the Rinnegan long ago."
"Where did you hide them, little Obito? Why aren't they where they should be?"
Funan knew that perhaps they weren't in a different place, but that the time hadn't come yet. After all, there were six or seven years left until the start of the original story. Although it was also possible that Obito, fearing how much Funan knew, had moved them.
…
After Funan regained consciousness, he smacked his lips and muttered: “In what position should I eat Konan?”
“This is a very distressing question.”
"This time, you won't escape from my plate."
He stood up and looked at the increasingly prosperous Konoha outside, sneering. “Madara, you are indeed very strong, but Nagato is not bad either. If he knows all your information, what will you do when you face Nagato when you are blind?”
Surely there was some hidden trick in Nagato. It didn't matter, he could tell Konan and let her handle it. Or perhaps, he could use Konan to make another deal.
Funan let out a soft laugh. What a wonderful day!
…
[Thud! Thud! Thud!]
The sound of a staff hitting the ground echoed through the air. Danzo walked coldly behind the shinobi leading him. "Orochimaru is worthy of being Orochimaru. The place where he hides is so bad that the rats in the underground would feel inferior to him."
The shinobi leading the way smiled slightly and took the ridicule lightly. "I'm flattered, sir."
"Humph!"
The two continued to move forward.
Passing by one room after another, some rooms were not closed, and you could see glass vessels in those rooms, with all kinds of things soaked in them.
There were animal limbs and complete humans.
There were even various embryos!
Danzo was not surprised at all.
Finally, they reached the innermost room, where Orochimaru was absorbed in his experiments.
Orochimaru muttered to himself as he stared at the glass jars, saying things incomprehensible to Danzo.
"Orochimaru." Danzo's voice was low.
"Hmm?"
A cold aura enveloped him, and Orochimaru was slightly startled. After turning his head and seeing Danzo, he grinned and said: "Hey, isn't this Danzo-sama? No, you should be called the Fifth Hokage."
Danzo's face darkened.
Not long ago, when the two sides contacted each other, Danzo vowed that he would soon become the Fifth Hokage.
As a result, he became a traitor and was hunted by Konoha.
This huge contrast made Danzo lose his composure.
"Hmph! My departure is a loss for Konoha, and it's only temporary. I will go back soon and become the new Hokage!"
Orochimaru couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "You brought your subordinates to surround and kill Konoha's hero, the head of Konoha Police Force for no reason. You still want to go back? You are destined to become a traitor, Danzo, face the reality."
"So what? Everything I did was for Konoha!"
Danzo shouted angrily: "One day, someone will understand me!"
Orochimaru smiled slightly and said: "You don't know yet, Funan has become the Fifth Hokage."
"What?!" Danzo shouted in disbelief. "Is Konoha crazy? Let Uchiha become Hokage?"
"More than two-thirds of Konoha's jonin collectively requested Uchiha to become Hokage, including my teacher."
"How is it possible? How is it possible?"
Danzo muttered to himself, unable to accept reality.
Since Danzo fled the battlefield, he had been recovering from his injuries. During the joint assault with Orochimaru against Uchiha Funan, he had suffered serious injuries.
That's why when he escaped, Danzo didn't even dare to approach Orochimaru and fled alone. Later, when the power of Hashirama's cells went out of control in his body, he had to search for more Sharingan to balance the Uchiha and Senju forces within him.
It must be said that Danzo is still Danzo. Even in this situation, he still found a supplementary Sharingan and balanced the power of Uchiha and Senju.
After gathering some of his followers, he finally dared to contact Orochimaru. During all this time, a full year had passed, and Danzo was unaware that Funan had already been named Hokage.
Seeing Danzo, his eyes bloodshot and breathing heavily, Orochimaru took a step back, continuing to prepare for any eventuality.
Surprisingly, Danzo quickly calmed down.
"Orochimaru!" Danzo said in a hoarse voice. "I need your help."
"Oh!" Orochimaru asked with interest: "What help?"
"I want to take back what I deserve!" Danzo gritted his teeth and said: "Konoha must not fall into the hands of Uchiha." His expression was fierce.
Orochimaru smiled, though in his mind he was cursing.
What do you mean, what you deserve? I, Orochimaru, was on the verge of becoming the Fourth Hokage, and I didn't complain. And you, a one-eyed old man, come to complain? Ridiculous!
"Why?" Danzo stared at Orochimaru coldly, with a strong sense of threat, and said: "You don't want to?"
"Yes, of course I do!" Orochimaru's face was full of smiles.
Danzo is a very good experimental material, and Orochimaru doesn't want to piss him off.
Such a valuable experimental subject was entitled to his whims as long as he was willing to lie obediently on his experimental table.
"Very good!" Danzo nodded with satisfaction and said: "Orochimaru, don't worry, as long as you serve me well, I will not treat you unfairly after I become Hokage."
Orochimaru: "..."
"Thank you!"
Orochimaru suddenly doubted whether his cooperation with Danzo would really have a good result?
This old thing seemed a little abnormal after being stimulated.
...
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.
During this period, several major events happened in Konoha.
First, a representative from Amegakure arrived in Konoha.
The person was said to be a high-ranking kunoichi from Amegakure, known as the 'Angel', Konan.
Amegakure wished to maintain peace and develop together with Konoha.
For Konoha, this was a positive thing.
Although Amegakure was not very powerful, its location was crucial.
If it is handled well, Konoha will have an extra barrier.
So Funan and Konan spent the whole night in deep conversation.
Konan did not leave the Hokage's office until the next morning.
They probably talked so much that her lips were a little swollen.
And perhaps because she had been sitting for so long, her way of walking was strange, she seemed to be limping a little.
However, she was obviously happy, leaving Konoha with a radiant smile.
That same year, Konoha sent a batch of supplies to support Amegakure.
Konan returned to Konoha to personally thank Funan.
From that year on, the exchanges between Ame and Konoha became more frequent.
There were several visits a year.
And each time, the angel came personally, returning to her village a day or two later.
Funan even left Konoha on one occasion to visit Amegakure, in a gesture of goodwill.
The second event was something that many did not know about.
At the age of eight, Naruto officially became a ninja.
At Jiraiya's request, Funan agreed to let Naruto accompany him on a training trip outside the village.
This caused quite a stir at the time.
Even the Third Hokage, who had been completely retired after giving up the position, left his residence in the Sarutobi clan and went to the Hokage's office to ask Funan for an explanation for Naruto's departure.
It was a rare opportunity to attack Funan, and he didn't mean to give up.
"Monkey, long time no see, did you miss me?"
As soon as the two sides met, Funan rushed over with tears in his eyes.
The Third Hokage was so scared that he thought Funan was going to kill him, so he immediately summoned Enma.
The Uchiha guards, seeing Sarutobi summon his beast, became alarmed. Was he trying to attack the Hokage?
They immediately went into combat mode.
Fortunately, Torifu and Shikaku also arrived, shouting to calm the situation.
Fortunately, the two reacted quickly and stopped the war that almost broke out.
After such a commotion, the momentum of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others was about to reach the bottom. They questioned Funan, and the result was known without thinking, and they left in disgrace.
"This bastard, this cunning bastard!"
When they left, they were still cursing.
Only Sarutobi Hiruzen looked worried.
When he left the family this time, he clearly felt that Funan's position was becoming more and more stable, but his original influence was constantly declining.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Funan launched a final attack against him.
"Okay, stop talking!" Shikaku said weakly. After briefly blocking several Uchiha jonin, he felt close to death.
Torifu's condition was also very bad.
