TUS Chapter 123: Snakes on a Road
🕑 Added 2024-06-06 04:23:28 +0000 UTCFunan and Setsuna were walking on the road. Just after turning a corner...
"Orochimaru, can I ask how you did it?" Funan looked at Setsuna beside him curiously and said: "You've really surprised me quite a bit."
Setsuna's body stiffened, and then he grinned. His expression was cold and evil, definitely not Setsuna. "Funan, you surprised me too, how did you notice?" Orochimaru's signature hoarse voice rang out.
Funan immediately said: "For someone who admires you so much, even if you are hundreds of miles away, I can smell your... smell."
Orochimaru's smile widened. "Really? If you admire me so much, why are you adopting such a threatening posture? Do you want to kill me?"
At that moment, the Mangekyo was reflected in Funan's eyes, and his hands were ready to form seals.
Of course, Orochimaru had been on guard, and the person who appeared in front of Funan was probably not his real body.
Funan said with a smile: "Tell me directly, Orochimaru, what do you want from me? If it is within my capabilities, I will consider it."
"Hahahaha!" Orochimaru laughed out loud. "Funan, you are very interesting. How is it possible that someone as interesting as you was born in Konoha?"
"Konoha has always given rise to people of all kinds, didn't you know that?" Funan smiled, and his smile was full of malice, and said: "After all, you almost became Hokage."
The smile on Orochimaru's face froze. At this moment, after hearing Funan's words, Orochimaru felt that his long-lost anger was ignited.
Orochimaru trembled with rage. After a few breaths, Orochimaru calmed down his anger. "Funan-kun, how about a deal?"
“Okay, okay!” Funan nodded repeatedly and said: "Collaborating with my idol is a dream come true, I can die of happiness."
Orochimaru seemed not to hear Funan's words, and said directly: "Last time, you told me that my Living Corpse Reincarnation technique has a weak resistance to genjutsu. I've noticed the same thing. Can you tell me how to fix this problem?"
Funan thought for a while and said: "What can you use in exchange?"
In front of him was a poisonous snake. He would never try to control it.
Orochimaru is a rebellious person. He wanted to investigate the shinobi world, explore the unknown, master all ninjutsu.
Therefore, Funan could collaborate with him, but never try to control him.
Facing this dangerous person, Funan thought that even the Kotoamatsukami might end up being deciphered.
"What does Funan-kun want?"
Funan thought for a moment and said: "You have plans against Konoha, right? When will they start?"
Orochimaru's smile faded a little. "Do you think I have plans against Konoha?"
"Definitely!" Funan nodded and said: "I know you have a deep respect for the Third Hokage. Seeing his old age, you surely want to give him a dignified end so that he does not lose his honor in his later years."
Orochimaru's expression became more rigid. Funan's words irritated him deeply.
Respect that old man? He wanted to kill him, and all of Konoha knew that.
He didn't want to argue with Funan, so he said slowly: "What do you want me to do, Funan?"
“One thousand!” Funan raised a finger and said: "How about one thousand heads of Sarutobi clan members?"
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed. "You have quite an appetite, Funan."
Funan laughed and said: "I have killed nearly two thousand people of Sarutobi clan. It's not a difficult task. This thousand is a discount for you."
Orochimaru's eyes twitched.
"Deal!" Orochimaru's body began to sink into the ground slowly. "Funan, can you tell me how you found out it was me?"
Funan smiled slightly and said: "I have the Mangekyo Sharingan. I can sense even the slightest change."
"I see..." Orochimaru's gaze grew even more fiery.
As Orochimaru disappeared into the ground, the entire space around Funan seemed to crumble.
It was as if glass had broken, revealing a completely different scene than before.
Funan looked around and murmured: "So he brought me here? It seems this poisonous snake also has ideas of taking me on."
Now Funan was at the edge of the village, about to enter an uninhabited wooded area.
If Funan hadn't discovered Orochimaru, they would probably be fighting already.
Funan curled his lips and turned back to Konoha.
The village was already on alert.
The fact that Funan was taken away by 'Setsuna' has been discovered.
The entire Uchiha clan was in an uproar.
Setsuna is obviously in the Uchiha clan, when did he go to pick up Funan? And how did he take him with him?
The atmosphere in the Uchiha clan became strange. They began to mobilize widely to search for Funan's whereabouts.
Fortunately, at this time, Funan appeared.
He walked into the Hokage Residence with a swagger.
The Uchiha who received the news retreated without even seeing him, returning to their business as if nothing had happened.
...
Funan walked into the Hokage's office with a swagger, and said nonchalantly: "Hey, is everyone here? I... um!"
The words caught in his throat.
Torifu's eyes were dull, as if he was half dead, and his eye sockets were slightly sunken.
The most worrying thing was that he seemed to have suddenly aged.
Funan couldn't help but be stunned.
"What happened to the Acting Hokage?" Funan asked stupidly, then turned her head, looked at Danzo and Hiruzen and shouted: "What did you do to the Hokage?!"
"Damn it, I knew a long time ago that you were plotting against the Hokage, that's why I've always been very wary of you guys. But I've been away for a short time, and you two stinking men really defiled the Hokage, you really are beasts!"
Everyone in the Hokage's office was overwhelmed by Funan's words.
Defiled...
Hiruzen and Danzo stood rigid, their eyes wide, and their bodies trembled. Although they had already developed resistance to Funan, they were still so angry that they almost vomited blood.
"Uchiha Funan, you are so presumptuous!" Hiruzen shouted angrily
"You are the ones who are presumptuous!" Funan pointed at Torifu and said: "No matter how you look at it, the Acting Hokage has been turned over and over, and has been tossed around countless times. He has no desire to live."
Hiruzen's eyes were bloodshot, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight.
Shikaku interrupted quickly and said: "Funan, what nonsense are you talking about? The acting Hokage is just worried about your safety."
"My safety?"
"Yes!" Shikaku said helplessly: "You are the head of the Konoha Police Force. You suddenly disappeared. How can the Hokage not be worried?"
Hiruzen snorted and, without knowing why, added: "Acting."
[Bang!]
Torifu slapped the table hard.
The crash caused Hiruzen to nearly drop his pipe. Danzo also flinched, nearly undoing the seals on his arm.
Torifu's eyes were full of bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Do you think I like being acting? If you give me the position of official Hokage, I won't accept it! I don't even want to be the acting! Where is Tsunade? If she doesn't come back soon, I will declare her a missing-nin."
"Acting Hokage, calm down!" Shikaku hurried forward to comfort him.
This really can't be said casually. Tsunade's status, in many ways, is not inferior to that of the Hokage.
She is not only the granddaughter of the First Hokage, granddaughter of the Second Hokage, and disciple of the Third Hokage, but also the princess of the Land of Fire.
If the Hokage declares her a missing-nin, it would be a huge snub to the Daimyo.
Shikaku continued: "Funan, tell us what happened. Why did you suddenly disappear?"
Funan glanced at Hiruzen and said: "Ask him."
"What does this have to do with me?!" Hiruzen shouted angrily. "Uchiha Funan, don't think I'm afraid of you! If you want war..."
"Orochimaru!"
A word interrupted Hiruzen's speech.
"What do you mean?"
"Orochimaru plotted against me!" Funan sneered. "Sarutobi Hiruzen, can you explain? Why would Orochimaru attack me? It's not the first time. Before I left Konoha, I barely had any contact with him. There's no relationship between us. Why does he constantly attack me?"
"Is he taking revenge for you, his master? Or should I say, is he following his master's orders?"
“You’re talking nonsense!” Hiruzen shouted angrily. "I have nothing to do with Orochimaru for a long time. If he were to appear before me now..."
“Will you let him go? Oh, by the way, you are old now, and you can’t beat him. You should beg him to let you go.”
“You... You…” Hiruzen was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
He really couldn’t bear it anymore and turned his head suddenly and looked at Danzo.
Let’s go to war with Uchiha?
Who knew that Danzo actually shook his head firmly at him.
Hiruzen was furious.
At one time, Danzo was determined to fight Fūnan to the death, and now he was the one constantly advising him to stay calm.
Is this how things are done?
At that moment, a loud bang resounded.
The Hokage's office desk shattered.
Even Funan was startled.
"Shut up everyone!" Torifu spoke those words slowly, one by one.
Surprisingly, Funan and Hiruzen were quiet.
Torifu said coldly: "I believe Hiruzen has nothing to do with Orochimaru, Funan, don't say that anymore, understand?"
Wow!
The fat old man was really imposing himself.
Funan looked at the fat man with amusement and nodded slightly.
