TUS Chapter 116: Immortality for Dummies
🕑 Added 2024-06-04 17:35:01 +0000 UTCAfter hearing Funan's answer, Tetsuhi was full of complaints. "If I had known we would have to wait until the end to act, I wouldn't have faked my death!"
Funan casually said: "There aren't many Jonin. If I grab a few to sacrifice themselves, do you think they'll believe it?"
“Hehe!” Tetsuhi suddenly put on a fawning expression and said: "Minister, we trust that you have a plan. Everyone in Konoha knows of your great abilities."
"Oh!" Funan's eyes lit up and said: "Does the whole Konoha know it?"
"Sure!"
"Minister, you can't be so unconfident!"
The two brothers had been almost suffocated from having to hide for so long. Seeing an opportunity to come out, they did not hesitate to fawn frantically.
Funan touched his chin and said: "Okay, after a while, I will think of a way to let you go out for some fresh air."
"Thank you, Minister!"
The two brothers almost knocked to the bottom.
After the interaction with the two brothers, Funan thought of the main purpose of coming here.
"How are the pigs?"
“It's fattened up!"
Tetsuhi immediately said: "We still don't understand the principle behind the cultists' immortality. The only thing we have confirmed is that when you absorb their life energy, they weaken for a while, but then recover."
Funan nodded. Uchiha is not good at research, and it is not easy to achieve this level.
At this moment, three people appeared in Funan's mind. If he gets one of these three people, his dilemma will be solved immediately.
Orochimaru!
Sasori!
Hiruko!
These three were some of the craziest scientists in the shinobi world, and each one more ruthless than the last.
...
A few hours later.
Funan came out of the room with a satisfied look on his face. He left the secret base with big strides.
Behind him, a group of burly men lay on the ground weakly. They all had dull eyes and sluggish expressions.
Their life energy had been absorbed by Funan by 90%, leaving just enough to keep them alive.
Funan was also worried. Although they had an immortal body, he didn't want to really kill them by absorbing all their life energy. After all, the God Tree within him was not easy to control.
He had to admit that the cultists' life energy was truly abundant.
At that moment, the vital energy he had absorbed helped raise the level of the God Tree within Funan.
This time, Funan decided not to improve the Eye Techniques fruit.
Instead, he chose to upgrade the Sage Mode fruit.
The level of his Sharingan was already considerably high. To improve it further, he would need an amount of life energy that a few cultists could not provide.
Therefore, in the short term, Funan decided not to improve his Sharingan.
Plus, he'd been putting a lot of pressure on Hiruzen lately and he was a little worried. Worried that Hiruzen will do something desperate.
Sage Mode was different, the cultists' life energy could help them level up immediately.
When the fruit ripened, Funan immediately absorbed it, and the level of the Sage Mode successfully rose.
Level 4 (Sage Mode)
“Haha, hahaha!”
“Hahaha!”
Funan’s wild laughter appeared again.
Now, even if Madara appeared in front of him, he would dare to face him. Although he can't win, it shouldn't be a problem to leave safely.
"Hiruzen, if you dare to appear in front of me, I will beat you up."
As soon as Funan finished speaking, the weird feeling of being spied on appeared again.
He was speechless for a while. Did you do it on purpose?
Beside the crystal ball, Hiruzen was in a state of dismay.
Hiruzen looked gloomy and said: "Through the crystal ball, I can't tell if this guy has a problem with his vision."
Danzo couldn't help asking: "What was he doing?"
"I don't know!" Hiruzen shook his head and said: "The Death Forest is so big, there are many secrets in it, maybe there is a secret base of the Uchiha clan."
"Let's start the plan!"
"Okay!"
...
Funan walked happily on the road, not caring about being peeped by Hiruzen.
As he left the Forest of Death, when he was about to enter the village, he made sure that Hiruzen wasn't spying on him and decided to try something.
The time required to enter Sage Mode had decreased significantly. He wasn't as fast as Hashirama, who just needed to clap his hands and that was it! But it wasn't far from Naruto's level.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Funan paused, looking at the person walking in front of him, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
It was a girl with black hair and wine-red eyes. She looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, but her appearance was extremely charming.
Yuhi Kurenai!
At this moment, he did not have the mature features he would show in the future, but instead retained a hint of youth.
Funan smiled. "This makes her even more charming."
The important thing was that she would be Asuma's future wife.
Yuhi Kurenai was chosen by Sarutobi Hiruzen as Asuma's wife early on, because Yuhi Kurenai herself has good talent and may become an Elite Jonin.
Her father is Yuhi Shinku. He is the instructor of a large number of chunin and genin in Konoha.
God knows how many people he taught are now Jonin.
That level of invisible influence is scary just thinking about it.
Marrying her would bring great benefits.
Funan admitted that he had evil thoughts. He strode forward and walked side by side with Yuhi Kurenai. "Kurenai, long time no see."
Kurenai, noticing someone approaching, was about to react, but upon hearing the voice, she was stunned. With a strange expression, she looked at the man who had silently appeared beside her. "Uchiha... Funan!"
"Oh, so formal?" Funan laughed softly and said: "Before you just called me Funan."
"At that time, I was just ignorant." Kurenai frowned slightly and quickened her pace, hoping to distance herself from the other party.
Funan followed her like a shadow. "Do we drink something?" Just then, they passed by a small bar and Funan pointed it out.
"No!" Kurenai flatly refused.
"I know something about your father." Funan uttered this sentence and walked into the bar without looking back.
Kurenai was stunned for a moment. She hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to enter the bar.
Funan smiled slightly as he noticed her entrance.
Kurenai also wanted to chat with him, all she needed was a reason.
Funan chose a small room, ordered a pot of wine and two side dishes.
Kurenai looked at the scene and frowned. “Are you old enough to drink? I remember you’re only sixteen?”
Funan stood still for a moment and then grumbled: "I am the head of the Konoha Police Force, who dares to control me? Want to go in and have a drink?"
"A brat who abuses his power for personal gain!" Kurenai muttered and sat down opposite Funan. "Speak!"
Funan was startled. "What?"
"You..." Kurenai looked at Funan angrily.
"Oh, you're talking about that..." Funan nodded in realization and said: "It's about your father, right?"
Kurenai stared at Funan.
Funan sighed and said: "Don't be disappointed, but your father may not be the person you imagine."
Kurenai was stunned.
Funan put on a mask of pain and said: "Your father, Yuhi Shinku, he, he..."
The atmosphere became a little tense and Funan's Mangekyo technique began to work, silently influencing Kurenai.
Kurenai asked subconsciously. "What's wrong with my father?"
"He likes women!" Kurenai was completely stunned.
A glass of sake was thrown forcefully towards Funan.
Funan deftly caught it and poured some sake, placing it in front of Kurenai. "Don't be angry, don't be angry!" Funan laughed.
"Hmph!" Kurenai gritted her teeth and stared at Funan fiercely.
Funan curled his lips and said: "Who asked your father to interfere in our affairs? Otherwise, you would have been my woman long ago."
"How dare you say that!" Kurenai stared at Funan angrily and said: "I really have to thank my father, otherwise, I would have suffered from your poisonous hands back then."
Funan said disdainfully: "You say one thing and want another, eh, woman!"
Kurenai almost threw another glass at him.
They were old acquaintances. They were on the verge of becoming something more, very close, in fact.
Since their days at the Ninja Academy, Kurenai was three years older than Funan.
However, Funan at that time was too dazzling. He had just arrived at the Ninja School and took away all the halo of Kakashi, the famous ninja in Konoha.
He broke record after record, and within a few years, he became a renowned prodigy in Konoha.
Furthermore, his physical attractiveness and air of mystery and danger made him irresistibly attractive to many girls.
Kurenai was also extremely talented, being pursued by many boys her age.
But to Kurenai, all those boys seemed too common and boring, nothing compared to Funan.
When the two met for the first time, Funan left a deep impression on Kurenai.
Over time, Kurenai was gradually captured by Funan.
It was then that Yuhi Shinku stepped in and ruthlessly took Kurenai away from Funan.
Otherwise, Kurenai would really become Funan's woman.
