TUS Chapter 140: Whispers of War
🕑 Added 2024-06-26 03:09:08 +0000 UTCIn a small town in the Land of Fire, a woman dressed in a green haori with the kanji gamble on her back pounds the table with excitement, her eyes fixed on the dice.
The black-haired girl next to her had a blank expression.
"Haaah." Tsunade lets out a long sigh. All the chips in front of her were taken away.
Shizune said helplessly: "Tsunade-sama, why are you sighing? Didn't you already know the outcome?"
"You have to believe in miracles." Tsunade gave a very philosophical statement.
"If miracles happened every day, would they still be miracles? You're always shouting about miracles."
"You're not adorable at all." Tsunade said dissatisfiedly. "Shizune, be careful that you won't be able to get married."
Shizune, blushing slightly, replied: "Tsunade-sama doesn't have to worry about that."
"That Uchiha brat?" Tsunade looked at Shizune's appearance and understood it after a little thought. Her eyebrows jumped wildly, and she said: "You're my disciple, the disciple of the princess of the Senju clan, and you're entangled with an Uchiha. You drive me crazy!"
Shizune said calmly: "I promise you on behalf of Funan. As your disciple, I will give you a thank-you gift of 10 million ryo!"
"Deal!" Tsunade said without hesitation: "Shizune, I have seen Uchiha Funan. He has been smart since he was a child. He is definitely not an ordinary person. You will definitely enjoy happiness if you follow him."
Shizune rolled her eyes.
[Swish!]
A masked shinobi appeared in front of Tsunade.
"Tsunade-sama..."
"I'm not Tsunade! You recognized the wrong person." Tsunade waved her hand impatiently and turned away.
The Anbu was stunned and said quickly: "Tsunade-sama, the acting Hokage has a secret letter."
"I'm not Tsunade, so I won't read it!"
Tsunade, carrying Shizune, has already gone quite far away.
"Tsunade-sama!" Another shinobi appeared, kneeling on one knee in front of Tsunade, blocking her way.
Tsunade frowned and turned to the other side.
There, another shinobi appeared.
In the blink of an eye, four shinobi appeared and surrounded Tsunade in the middle.
"What?" Tsunade sneered and said: "Are you ready to use force? It just so happens that my hands are itching."
Tsunade rolled up her sleeves and prepared to fight.
"Tsunade-sama..." The Anbu said quickly. "We are just following orders to hand over the secret letter to you, not to disturb your life."
"The moment you appeared, you have already disturbed me!" Tsunade said coldly- "Get out of here right now, do you hear me?"
"This..." The Anbu looked at each other.
Shizune sighed and stepped forward. "Give me the secret letter and leave immediately."
"This..."
Shizune said lightly: "I'll take it. Whether Tsunade-sama reads it or not is no longer my concern."
"Yes, thank you!"
The Anbu were overjoyed, hurriedly handed the secret letter to Shizune, and left here.
"Shizune, what are you doing?"
Seeing Shizune putting away the secret letter, Tsunade frowned unhappily.
Shizune said helplessly: "It's just a letter. If you don't want to read it, just throw it away. Why get so angry? Is it fun to argue with the Anbu people?"
As she said, Shizune threw the letter into the trash can beside her.
"Hmph!" Tsunade snorted coldly and turned away.
She didn't see that after they left, another Shizune appeared and took the letter back.
...
After reading the letter, Shizune’s expression changed slightly. “What is Funan going to do this time?”
“Will it affect Lady Tsunade?”
"Probably not. Lady Tsunade has no intention of returning, so no matter how big the problem is, it won't reach her."
Shizune’s originally hesitant expression became relaxed. Then she began to think if it was necessary for her to return to Konoha to help Funan.
"Forget it, Funan hasn't asked me back. I'll wait a little longer."
"Tsunade-sama cannot be left alone."
Shizune sighed faintly.
That idiot Funan is probably with Kurenai now. I heard that he also captured Yugao. Knowing his character, he surely won't harm Yugao, at least not in that way.
"Damn it! How could I fall in love with such an idiot?"
Shizune smiled resignedly.
Who knew that she would fall into Funan's clutches.
God damn asshole, how old was I at that time, and you could do that to me.
Are you human?
No!
Funan was also a little kid at that time, where did he learn those things from?
Shizune was puzzled.
…
Konohagakure.
Danzo was shrouded in shadows.
"Hiruzen, you are old and have no courage at all. We have been forced to this point by the Uchiha. This is all your responsibility. You are still blocking me and hesitating."
"I want to correct this. I can't let you destroy us and let the Uchiha succeed. The village must not fall into the clutches of the Uchiha!"
Danzo's face could not be seen, but his cold aura was enough to suffocate anyone.
"My Lord!"
Several shinobi knelt on one knee in front of Danzo.
"Go!" Danzo said coldly. "Everything is for... Konoha!"
Before uttering the last word, Danzo paused. Having been told so many times by Funan and Itachi, he now feels extremely weird.
"Yes!"
The kneeling shinobi didn't think much. They were already indoctrinated, they only thought about sacrificing themselves for Konoha and for their Danzo-sama.
...
Torifu looked at the letter in his hand, and his hands were shaking.
When he knew that Funan had written him a letter, he had a bad feeling.
Funan had written to him several times, and it was never anything serious. Now, seeing the letter, his suspicions were confirmed.
"Is he crazy?" Torifu handed the letter to Shikaku and slumped in a chair.
After reading it, Shikaku remained silent for a long time. He didn't know what to say.
Funan didn't mean anything else, but just said that he didn't like what Iwagakure and Kumogakure did and wanted to get rid of them all at once.
Therefore, he asked Konoha to send troops.
The four clans of Sarutobi and his friends would send at least three thousand shinobi. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo Shimura would also go.
"Maybe Funan really wants to solve the problem of Kumogakure and Iwagakure." Shikaku thought for a while and said: "Acting Hokage, let me communicate with Funan first?"
Torifu's jaw dropped: "Are you really going to agree? Can't you just reject him?"
Shikaku smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I want to agree, but the current situation in the shinobi world is really not good."
Torifu was silent.
The current shinobi world has gradually begun to move towards the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Shikaku said in a deep voice: "Funan proposed this, probably foreseeing everything now, he wants to solve the problem at one time."
Torifu said coldly: "If he plots against Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others again, Hiruzen and the others will definitely... No, this time, I am worried that Hiruzen will fight him."
"So, I have to communicate with both sides!" Shikaku said helplessly: "If the problem can be solved at one time, it would be the best."
"Okay!" Seeing that Shikaku was insistent, Torifu stopped objecting, but insisted again and again that he be careful and not escalate the conflict between the two parties.
After leaving Torifu, Shikaku quickly walked back to his clan.
In the Nara clan.
A clone of Uchiha Funan was talking nonsense to Kazu.
Kazu looked shy but did not pull her hand out of Funan's hand, letting the other party hold it.
"Hmph!" Shikaku snorted coldly when he saw this scene.
"Ah!" Kazu exclaimed, hurriedly pulled back her hand, and stood up straight.
Shikaku, with a grim expression, looked at Funan and said: "Uchiha Funan, you've really had enough."
Kazu has a high status in the Nara clan. If she is seduced away like this, the Nara clan will suffer a great loss.
Funan curled his lips and ignored the other party, just saying: "How is the matter going?"
"I did what I promised you!" Shikaku said: “The Acting Hokage has given me full authority to negotiate with you.”
"That's good!"
“Uchiha Funan, tell me, what do you plan to do? Do you intend to eliminate all the shinobi of the four clans of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others like last time?”
"How is it possible?" Funan laughed and said: "Sarutobi Hiruzen is not a fool, how could he send the people in his clan to give me their heads? Do you really think they are idiots?"
"Then you..."
“Since you've come this far, I won't be stingy either.” Funan said seriously: "Let me tell you this, I do plan to solve the problems of Iwagakure and Kumogakure. As for the four Sarutobi clans and the others, I don't plan on causing them any trouble.”
"Let's deal with the external problems first. As for the internal problems, we can fight however we want. Let's close the door and fight!"
Shikaku said with a slight heavy heart: "Tell me your plan!"
"My plan is..."
Shikaku was silent for a long moment, looking at Funan with a complex expression. “You’re crazy!”
Funan smiled slightly.
