TUS Chapter 155: When Danzo's Wallet Speaks
🕑 Added 2024-07-18 20:01:53 +0000 UTCSeeing the excited Uchiha at Danzo's arrival, Funan said angrily: “Aren’t you ashamed?”
"Minister, that's Danzo!" An Uchiha growled.
"Nonsense!" Funan said unhappily: "I know it's Danzo, but I know with my toes that it must be a clone. Even if you lend Danzo a little courage, he will never dare to come to the Uchiha clan in person."
The murderous aura dissipated immediately.
So, apart from a few Uchiha who were standing guard, the others went about their business.
This attitude confused Danzo. I am Danzo! Can't they see their Sharingan? Is this the Uchiha's attitude towards Danzo?
Until he was in front of Funan, Danzo was still a little confused.
"One-Eyed, what do you want?" Funan squinted his eyes and stared at Danzo.
"Funan, I know there are many conflicts between us, but we are all from Konoha!" Danzo looked at Funan and said in a deep voice: "Konoha is our common home, and we have reason to protect it."
"Speak human language!"
"Funan!!!" Danzo raised his voice and said: "Konoha is our home, do you deny it? We love it..."
[Puhaa (Spat contemptuously)]
Danzo narrowly avoided it and stared at Funan angrily.
"My throat is uncomfortable!" Funan smiled and said: "You continue, don't worry about me!"
Danzo's face was dark, and he gritted his teeth and said: "A fixed price, 100 million ryo."
Funan: "???"
"Kirigakure!" Danzo said coldly: "If you solve Kirigakure, I will give you 100 million ryo!"
Funan was really confused. He looked at Danzo suspiciously. Is there something he doesn't know?
Logically speaking, the man who was hurt the most by Kirigakure was Torifu.
The only harm to Danzo would be the loss of some members of the Shimura clan.
However, with Danzo's nature, he would surely have placed those from the Shimura clan at the rear of the army.
The others would die first, and only then would it be their turn. By that time, the Kirigakure ninja would also be nearly exterminated.
The war will also stop.
Although Funan was not very aware of the front, he knew that the casualties between Konoha and Kirigakure maintained a ratio of almost one to one.
In that case, why was Danzo so anxious?
For... Akimichi Torifu?
Funan looked at Danzo with a malicious expression. "Danzo, are you begging me for Akimichi Torifu? You really love that old fat man!"
Danzo was stunned, and then he became furious and shouted: "Bullshit, Uchiha Funan, whether you are going to do it or not, just give me a straight answer, don't find fault with me."
Funan fell into deep thought. He was ready to go to the front line from the beginning. However, he thought that the person who asked him to go out should be Torifu.
Funan was also prepared to seize the opportunity and ask for a high price.
However, the one who invited him was Hiruzen. This looked very strange.
"What? You don't want to?" Danzo frowned and said: "100 million ryo can't hire you?"
Funan said lightly: "100 million ryo to decide the position of Hokage. Does that seem like a lot to you?"
Danzo immediately shut his mouth.
"What do you mean?" Danzo said in a deep voice: "I tell you, the front line can't hold on for long. Either you give me an answer now, or I'll find someone else."
Funan rolled his eyes. However, he also knew that the other party was indeed very anxious, and he couldn't delay.
Trying to gather information from the front and then negotiate a higher price was not possible.
Torifu still owed him money. No matter how much he ripped off the other party, he couldn't pay more.
If that was the case, helping Hiruzen once wouldn't be a big deal.
That was his original plan anyway.
The losses on the front line were significant.
It is time to end this!
If pressed further, it could have the opposite effect.
Funan made a decision. He sighed, his face full of pain, and said: "Okay, I promise you, alas, everything is for Konoha, I can't let Konoha..."
Before he could finish, Danzo turned around and left, leaving only one sentence: "The 100 million ryo will be delivered in three days."
Funan looked at Danzo's back. Damn it! Old man Danzo dares to talk to himself like that? Forget it, since the money he gave me is really a lot, I won't argue with him.
After this, Torifu will probably be dismissed.
Figures appeared in front of Funan one after another.
These are the Uchiha Jonin in power. At this moment, they came to Funan and listened to his arrangements.
"Go!" Funan turned his head to look at them and said in a deep voice: "Act according to the plan!"
"Yes!"
The Uchiha jonin shouted and left in an instant.
...
Konoha was in a state of turmoil.
Although the news from the battlefront has always been about victories, the villagers were filled with doubts, and now, the truth finally came to light.
Five thousand people went to the battle, and more than half were lost...
The whole Konoha began to erupt like a volcano.
The Hokage Residence was surrounded.
A large number of villagers blocked the Hokage's office, demanding an explanation.
Shikaku constantly comforted the villagers, but never mentioned the casualty ratio.
This undoubtedly made the villagers more excited.
Because of this Shikaku was almost hit.
After much effort, Shikaku sighed deeply.
"Is it Uchiha Funan?" Kazu asked curiously. "In a short period of time, the rumor spread throughout Konoha. There are not many people who have this ability."
"Who else can it be besides him?" Shikaku said unhappily.
Kazu asked tentatively: "You don't seem to be particularly angry?"
"I am angry, but more helpless!" Shikaku sighed and said: "Funan is playing this trick now, which means that he is going to the battlefield, and Konoha's predicament is about to be resolved."
"Oh!" Kazu suddenly realized.
Shikaku explained: "According to the current situation, unless Funan goes to the front, we will have to send more and more elite shinobi to resolve the problem with Kirigakure. With Iwagakure and Kumogakure present, that is not realistic."
At this time, Konoha has very few human resources available.
Now that Funan has agreed to intervene, Shikaku naturally won't say anything more.
As for Torifu's position as Hokage, there is no hope for him. What needs to be done now is to minimize the losses as much as possible.
"Go!" Shikaku looked at the ANBU in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Inform the Acting Hokage that Uchiha Funan is about to take action."
"Yes!" The ANBU disappeared in an instant.
In just a few hours, Torifu's reply was delivered to Shikaku.
Looking at the content of the letter, Shikaku couldn't believe it.
Is the Acting Hokage playing so wild? He actually wants to destroy Kirigakure at once.
In fact, destroying Kirigakure would make up for Torifu's mistakes and place him back in the position of Hokage.
Shikaku walked back and forth, his expression full of hesitation.
Torifu's intention was to stop Funan and not let him go to the front.
Kazu looked at the anxious Shikaku and suddenly said: "Can't stop him!"
"What?"
"I said, we can't stop Funan at all." Kazu said word by word. "Once that man makes a decision, no one can stop him, unless he changes his mind. Uncle, are you sure you can make him change his mind?"
Shikaku remained silent. After a while, he muttered to himself. "You're right, if Funan has decided to go to the front, he's probably already prepared, besides..."
Shikaku didn't say the rest.
But Kazu understood.
Funan did not decide to go to the front on a whim. Someone has already spoken to him, and he has been convinced.
[Knock! Knock! Knock!]
A quick knock on the door sounded.
"Come in."
An ANBU hurried in.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Shikaku-sama, Uchiha Funan has led some Uchiha jonin and has left the village and gone to the front line."
Shikaku could only smile bitterly when he heard this.
Shikaku quickly wrote a secret letter and sent it to Torifu.
Since he can't stop it, he can only let the acting Hokage prepare.
If nothing unexpected happens, the acting Hokage will vomit blood again.
The only thing to blame is the people of Kirigakure. They are too crazy.
Anyone with a little bit of rationality will not commit collective suicide.
...
Funan set out with a small group, and after confirming the situation on the front lines and spreading it throughout Konoha, Danzo urged him to leave quickly.
Every minute they stayed here, one more Sarutobi or Shimura would die on the front line.
If the two clans of Sarutobi and Shimura were completely wiped out, then Hiruzen and Danzo would not return to Konoha, and would just become deserters.
And at Danzo's insistence...
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Tell your original body that I'm coming, and to have the money ready, or else, don't blame me for losing my temper!"
[Bang!]
Funan kicked and destroyed Danzo's clone.
The clone disappeared and Danzo only heard these last words when the memories reached his original body.
As for Funan, he took dozens of Uchiha and set off again, rushing to the front line.
