TUS Chapter 82: Diverging Agendas
🕑 Added 2024-04-22 21:28:34 +0000 UTCThe Uchiha cannot lose their strength now and need to be weakened step by step. It is indeed not advisable to stimulate them too much.
Because of this Hiruzen had to take the blame.
Everything is for Konoha!
Danzo was pulled back from the wall with difficulty and his entire body trembled with anger. He glared at Funan.
Meanwhile, others turned around, barely containing their laughter.
Funan's punch was aimed at Danzo's one eye. It was definitely swollen after the punch.
"Okay, Thunder God Sword, I'll make the decision and compensate Uchiha!" Torifu waved his hand and said: "If anyone has objections, express them clearly, but don't mention sensei, and don't mention not compensating the Uchiha."
Torifu looked at Danzo coldly and said: "Sensei also took an Uchiha as a disciple. To him, Uchiha are no different."
The acting Fifth Hokage had already spoken, coupled with Funan's intense reaction, who would dare to object?
As a result, Funan was given the Sword of the Thunder God.
Funan hung the sword on his waist generously and raised his eyebrows at Danzo.
Danzo snorted coldly, with a sullen face.
"Funan, do you have any other requests?" Torifu asked again.
"These five, promote them to Jonin, I can guarantee their strength." Funan handed over a list.
Seeing this, Torifu waved his hand and agreed.
The Konoha Corrupt Quartet looked at each other, thinking that this was probably the hidden power of the Uchiha clan.
"Okay, next, let's talk about Orochimaru and Kumogakure." Torifu's expression became serious and said: "Funan, tell us the situation at that time."
"Understood." Funan recounted the events, of course, with some added details.
"What is Kumogakure doing?"
Funan shook his head and said: "It seems they are shinobi who specialize in barriers."
"Barriers?"
Torifu was startled and looked hurriedly at the ANBU beside him.
That ANBU member responded calmly: "There are indeed signs of invasion in the barrier. This kind of thing is not uncommon."
Konoha's barrier is invaded several times a month.
The ANBU looked at Funan.
This guy often runs to the edge of the barrier to play, which makes Konoha's barrier team nervous.
Especially after hearing that the Uchiha had transferred many of their members, Hiruzen and others almost scolded them to death.
Torifu frowned and said: "Kumogakure wants to create a barrier in Konoha? Why?"
"Why else?" Hiashi sneered: "Are they targeting Konoha's Kekkei Genkai? Those damn thieves!"
Everyone in the room nodded slightly.
Kumogakure is also known as a den of thieves.
All day long he was either stealing other people's blood inheritance limits or stealing other people's powerful ninjutsu.
That was well known throughout the shinobi world.
Homura whispered: "But if they just wanted to steal, wouldn't that be too conspicuous?"
Everyone was silent again.
Indeed, who steals things with such arrogance?
"What's up with that?" Hiashi said again angrily. He sneered and said: "Why can't they be flashy this time?"
"Hiashi!" Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "Your argument is totally unworkable. Isn't Kumogakure worried about triggering a war?"
Hiashi glanced at Hiruzen strangely but said nothing.
Hiruzen was a little confused at first, but then he thought of something, his vision went dark, and he almost fainted from anger. Damn you, you dare to mock me like this!
Funan would not let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately sneered and said: "How can they be afraid? Think about how much Kumogakure has done in Konoha. Has there been a war? They have even received great compensation!"
Funan said sarcastically: "Thanks to the Third Hokage and his advisors we have avoided many wars in the village. Thanks to all of you."
The expressions of Sarutobi and the others became grim.
"What do you know? We..."
"It's all for Konoha!" Funan learned how to answer quickly. "The whole village is thanking you, especially the Hyuga Clan. They are grateful to the point of tears."
"By the way, although there are a lot of yelling and cursing coming from the village, please don't pay attention. They are all people who don't understand Hiruzen-sama's will of fire."
Hiruzen's face turned red with anger.
Danzo, on the other hand, agreed with this. He was a radical militant and had long proposed using war to solve problems.
The rest seemed ambiguous.
"Enough!" When he saw everyone confronting each other again, Torifu shouted in anger. "What time is it? Stop this nonsense!"
Torifu said coldly: "We will immediately hold Sunagakure responsible and demand an explanation as to why so many of their shinobi appeared on the outskirts of Konoha and even attacked the Konoha shinobi."
"If they don't give an explanation, they can't blame Konoha for starting the war!"
Everyone was startled at first, and then suddenly realized.
They had focused so much on their internal problems that they had forgotten many things.
This was a perfect opportunity to hit Sunagakure and divert the conflicts in Konoha.
Moreover, isn't it easier to deal with Sunagakure than Kumogakure?
"Understood!" Everyone dispersed.
Even Hiruzen, after a slight pause, slowly left the Hokage's office under the cold eyes of Torifu.
After four years, the Hokage's office once again welcomed its new owner.
After everyone left, Torifu suddenly lay down on the office chair.
Shikaku let out a bitter laugh, he had also been in a cold sweat the entire time.
Although they had the greatest power, their control over it was the weakest.
"Shikaku, I regret it, I regret sitting in this position."
Shikaku glanced at him and said: "If you regret it, it is still possible to change your mind."
Torifu rolled his eyes: "Can't you give me some comfort?"
"Uncle Torifu!" Shikaku said seriously. "You are now the leader of the village, even if it is temporary, it is because many Jonin accepted it. You cannot let your guard down in the slightest."
"I know!" Torifu smiled bitterly and said: "But, what should we do next?" He frowned and said: "Uchiha actually lost twelve Jonin in one breath. Moreover, Funan was probably injured as well. You also know the characteristics of the Mangekyo. I doubt he can hold on for long."
Shikaku also frowned, looking a little uneasy.
The original plan was to defeat the Third Hokage faction and deal with Uchiha after becoming the acting Hokage.
However, Funan's performance today was too aggressive. Talking about war so easily worried Torifu.
"I still can't believe that Uchiha will lose twelve Jonin in one go!" Shikaku spoke in a low voice.
Torifu shook his head and said: "Me neither, but it's a fact. You can't deny it, didn't you see the bodies? You can't fake that."
Shikaku frowned deeply. "But don't forget, the Uchiha corpses were taken by themselves and most of the Kumogakure corpses were headless."
For shinobi, even the dead could speak, but without heads, the information obtained from them was limited. Therefore, in Shikaku's eyes, the bodies seemed too matching, even a little forced.
"You may be overthinking this point." Torifu had a different opinion, saying: "The battle between Orochimaru and Funan, it is surprising that there are any bodies left."
"Forget it! No matter what, Uchiha suffered huge losses, this is a fact."
Shikaku exhaled a long breath and said: "We wanted to weaken them a little, but now they have lost twelve Jonin at once and Funan is probably injured. Under the circumstances, it is better to change course."
"If we put too much pressure on Funan, that boy will surely fight us."
"Deal with Sarutobi Hiruzen?" Torifu's expression turned bitter.
"Not necessarily!" Shikaku said coldly. "Shimura Danzo is fine too!"
"It's an idea." Torifu's eyes lit up and he became energetic.
"In addition, the Utatane and Mitokado clans are also within the attack range!" Shikaku said coldly. "We don't know if we will go to war with Sunagakure or Kumogakure, but if we do, all of them will be sent to the battlefield. None will escape."
Torifu nodded repeatedly and said: "Speaking of this, the Hyuga clan is also very abnormal today."
Shikaku was not surprised at all, and said: "The pent-up hatred is finally exploding."
"After all, his brother was forced to die. Hiashi is not the last person, just the first. Uncle Torifu, be careful."
"Hiruzen has been the Hokage for many years and has surely offended many people in secret. These people may be dating recently."
Torifu sighed deeply and said: "It's really annoying."
…
Uchiha clan.
As soon as he returned to the clan, Fugaku couldn't help it anymore, grabbed Funan and said: "What the hell is going on?"
"Be careful."
Funan slapped Fugaku's hand away in displeasure and said casually: "No one died, it was just Izanagi."
Fugaku was shocked and said: "Then their eyes..."
"I have spares here, I just implant one in each of them."
"Spares?" Fugaku almost jumped up and said: "Where did you get the spare?"
Funan said calmly: "During the Third Shinobi World War, I collected some. Also, since I became a Chunin, as long as there are dead shinobi in the clan, I will silently collect their eyes."
'Chunin? Damn, it’s been ten years now, right? I remember that Funan went to ninja school at the age of five and became a Chunin within a few months.' Fugaku frowned and stared at Funan.
Funan sneered and said: "What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied? Don't be hypocritical. Danzo has as many Sharingan as I do. Why don't you face him?"
Fugaku's expression became even more gloomy.
