TUS Chapter 110: Spy or Not
🕑 Added 2024-05-27 16:04:03 +0000 UTCIf Yuki Saeko is really a spy, how many secrets would Konoha have lost?
“Acting Hokage, are you sure?” A deep voice sounded.
It was Aburame Shibi.
Torifu could feel the other party's gaze.
This was also a very powerful shinobi. Torifu had decided to send him to the border between Konoha and Suna to take care of matters there.
Therefore, Torifu softened his tone a little. "Uchiha Funan provided some information, and I sent people to investigate. I can only say that there is suspicion in this regard."
Suspect?
If Torifu mentioned it in a meeting like this, that meant he had great certainty.
How is it possible?" Hiruzen's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were cloudy, as if he had aged ten years.
"I also want to ask, how is it possible?" Torifu sighed and said: "But, this is a fact."
Danzo suddenly said: "You say this information comes from Uchiha Funan?"
Torifu frowned slightly and said: "Yes!"
“Haha!” Danzo sneered and was about to speak but was interrupted by Torifu.
The old fat man turned to face Danzo angrily and snapped: "I've told you a thousand times not to laugh like that in front of me! Do you want me to break your face? Stop laughing, damn it!"
The smile on Danzo's face froze.
Torifu seemed to have lost his temper, and shouted angrily: "What are you looking at? Yes, I'm talking to you! Do you think you're special because you have only one eye? Do you want me to blind you completely?!"
Danzo opened his eyes wide, furious. Danzo immediately stretched out his left hand to his right hand. He was going to undo the seal, he was going to kill that old fat man!
“Ahem!” A dry cough interrupted Danzo who was about to explode.
Hiruzen looked at him accusingly and spoke in a low voice: "Torifu, enough is enough. Danzo has not done anything to you. As acting Hokage, you must behave as such. You have to control your temper."
Torifu's eyelids twitched.
Other people also had strange looks in their eyes.
However, Shikaku was observing Torifu with a thoughtful look.
Torifu said coldly: "Hiruzen, don't say such nonsense, you should better explain Yuki Saeko's situation."
The Third Hokage's face darkened. "I will focus on investigating this matter."
"I hope so!" Torifu said coldly: "Don't forget the identity of Yuki Saeko. If she really has a problem, I don't need to tell you the danger she represents to Konoha."
"Those thousand fallen shinobi are proof enough. Hiruzen, I advise you to take this matter with Yuki Saeko seriously."
The third Hokage's eyes moved wildly, he lowered his head containing his anger.
When things got to this point, Sarutobi Shinnosuke basically died in vain.
Hiruzen has no chance to cause trouble to Funan anymore.
On the contrary, he now had to seriously investigate Yuki Saeko. If there really was a problem with her, Hiruzen would have to vomit blood again.
Hiruzen couldn't understand it, he had clearly researched Yuki Saeko thoroughly.
Would it be another trap by Uchiha Funan? This needed to be investigated thoroughly.
Hiruzen's eyes were cold and deep.
If it was really related to Uchiha Funan, he could only say that the other party was really generous.
Not only did Shinnosuke die, but thousands of members of the four clans also died.
He also tricked Hiruzen, making the death of Shinnosuke a shame.
This had seriously hit Hiruzen's reputation.
Torifu continued: "Furthermore, Funan has done a good job. Although Shinnosuke's recklessness caused the loss of a thousand shinobi, Funan ambushed and eliminated more than a thousand of the enemy, exacting revenge."
Hiruzen's face darkened again.
Hang on a minute...
Hiruzen was startled. What was Torifu up to? He discreetly looked around
Most of the shinobi had displeased expressions on their faces.
Deep down, everyone believed that Shinnosuke had been killed by Funan. On the battlefield, attacking a comrade, who would trust him?
Funan would lose the trust of Konoha's higher-ups unless he could prove Yuki Saeko's guilt.
…
The war between Konoha and Kumogakure is still going on.
Kumo is clearly on the decline.
Funan understood that the war was about to stop.
At least, the war between Kumogakure and Konoha will stop.
Both sides had achieved their goals, especially Konoha, which had achieved quite a bit and taught Kumogakure a lesson. It was time to stop.
Continuing to fight would only lead to more losses for both of them, and Iwagakure and the other shinobi villages might get involved.
In another strategy meeting.
Funan gave the order to call off the attack and put everyone on hold.
Everyone was silent. They understood the meaning of that order.
Peace talks are about to begin.
"Do you think..." Funan looked at those present, suddenly smiling. "Someone will come now and replace me as commander?"
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Kakashi hurriedly said: "How is it possible? Commander-in-Chief, you are overthinking."
"Really?"
Funan looked at Kakashi curiously and said: "Can you guarantee it?"
Kakashi was choked.
If Hiruzen is in charge, it's really hard to say. Now, Torifu...
“Look, look, you’re not talking anymore.” Funan curled his lips and said: "Okay, you can go. Prepare yourselves mentally."
"Yes!"
They all left quickly.
They were afraid that Funan would catch them again to ask awkward questions. They have small hearts and cannot withstand huge problems.
As for mental preparation...
Get ready for a ghost!
Watching the backs of those leaving, Funan reflected and then looked at the only one who had not left... Uchiha Shinya.
"Get Fugaku and Shisui ready. They can start acting."
"Yes!" Shinya responded loudly.
Funan smiled slightly. Once this plan succeeds, Sarutobi Hiruzen, you will basically have no value.
…
In Konoha.
Jiraiya looked at little Naruto, who had just opened his eyes, and smiled slightly. "Hey, brat, how do you feel? Better?"
"Ero-Sennin!" Naruto exclaimed, looking at Jiraiya in surprise. "What happened to me?"
“Don’t you remember anything?”
Naruto shook his head, confused.
"Well, never mind." Jiraiya said with a reassuring smile. "How is your body?"
"Very good!" Naruto jumped up and said with a smile: "My body has always been great."
Jiraiya also smiled, although his expression was a bit complex.
During this period of time, Jiraiya has been following Naruto. He knew that Naruto's body seemed to have been transformed because of the Nine-Tails.
At the same time, under the influence of the Nine-Tails Chakra, Naruto's body's healing speed after injury was close to that of the first Hokage.
That was something terrifying.
Precisely for this reason, when Naruto lost his mind just now, Jiraiya did not hesitate to act.
He knew he couldn't hurt Naruto.
But what had Uchiha Funan done? And what had Orochimaru done?
Jiraiya had a severe headache. Both men, with whom he had had a good relationship, were now against him.
In fact, Tsunade did not come back. If he came back, it would be even worse, and he would have one more enemy.
Old man, look what you have done. Jiraiya looked a little annoyed.
After appeasing Naruto and promising to teach him ninjutsu, Jiraiya left Naruto's home.
At the door, several people wearing masks were hiding in the dark.
Jiraiya took a look and realized that they were not only there to watch, but also to protect.
The incident with Naruto had put him in a difficult position.
He had been the one who had guaranteed that Naruto would not be in danger, and now, just a few days later, this had happened.
Torifu and the others had not held him responsible, which was already a great favor.
“Jiraiya-sama!” An Anbu appeared in front of Jiraiya.
"What's up?"
"The Third Hokage invites you."
"I have no time." Jiraiya blurted out those words and turned to leave.
He didn't need to ask to know what Hiruzen wanted.
He wanted him to become the Fifth Hokage.
He couldn't bring himself to allow Tsunade to take over because of what happened with Nawaki.
Although there was no proof, even Jiraiya suspected that Sarutobi Hiruzen had a lot to do with that matter.
However, after Shinnosuke's death, Hiruzen was in a better position, while Torifu was having a difficult time.
Torifu had expressed the need to bring Tsunade back several times.
Hiruzen was probably anxious too.
However, if you want him to be the Hokage, you can only say that you are overthinking it.
Dispatching the ANBU, Jiraiya continued wandering around Konoha.
That was what he had been doing for the past few days.
He wanted to find his old 'close' friend.
He firmly believed that as long as Orochimaru was still in Konoha, he would be able to find him.
Definitely.
After all, as a man who has been single for decades he has that confidence.
…
At this moment, at the border between Sunagakure and Konoha, a graceful figure was slowly advancing.
Soon, she arrived at her destination.
"It's surprising that you really came. When Funan said you were coming, we were very surprised." A voice sounded behind the figure.
The figure turned around, revealing it to be Pakura. She looked coldly and said: "Are you ready? This is just a clone, I can't help you much."
"It's enough!" A fierce-looking man appeared. "The opponent is not particularly strong, there will be no surprises in this battle."
Pakura replied coldly: "Uchiha Fugaku, you better not underestimate our target. Don't forget, he is the Kazekage, and you are still far from being Hokage."
"Hmph!"
Two more people appeared in front of the Pakura clone.
Fugaku said coldly: "For the three of us to attack together means thinking highly of him. Don't forget that Funan has already given us all the information about him."
The three present were Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui and Kakuzu.
