TUS Chapter 68: Itachi's Surprise and Danzo's Displeasure
🕑 Added 2024-03-30 16:10:13 +0000 UTC“That’s enough for you!” Danzo looked angry and yelled: "What are you guys up to?!"
"Ahem!" Hiruzen coughed dryly and said a little sarcastically: "Danzo, I don't know, but I'm shocked that you have done so many earth-shattering things."
Damn! Danzo glared at Hiruzen. 'Monkey, doesn't it hurt you to say those things? Have you thrown your conscience to the dogs? Who do you think I did all that for? I did it...for Konoha!'
'And also, is there anything I did that you don't know? Don't act oblivious now! Don't be so despicable!'
"Ahem, okay!" Hiruzen straightened his expression and said: "Uchiha's rumor offensive has begun again. We need to choose the fifth generation Hokage as soon as possible."
Once the Fifth Hokage is elected, the Konoha Corrupt Quartet will be able to evade attention and wait for things to calm down.
However, this fifth generation Hokage must be theirs, and must not be Uchiha, otherwise, they will be liquidated.
Danzo's face was gloomy, because of the rumors in the past few days, he was destined to miss the fifth generation Hokage.
Damn Uchiha! This would force her to consider the Sixth or even the Seventh Hokage.
"What will we do with the Uchiha clan?" Danzo asked angrily. "Will they recognize the fifth generation Hokage we elected? They may be up to something else."
"You are wrong!" Hiruzen thought about the latest information he received, his eyes couldn't help but look strange, and said: "Itachi has conveyed a piece of information, please take a look."
Hiruzen handed the three a piece of information. It was the content of the last meeting of the Uchiha clan. It not only included the number and names of the participants, but also completely recorded the words that Funan said.
After reading it, the three of them were stunned.
Koharu said: "Hiruzen, is this information true?" There was some surprise in her words.
If this information is true, they won't have to worry about Uchiha for a short time. Moreover, this proves that they still have a very important chess piece buried in Uchiha.
Uchiha Itachi, what a good boy!
"It shouldn't be fake." Hiruzen said solemnly. "With Uchiha's temperament, they can indeed do such a thing, let the village take the initiative to give up the position of Hokage to them, hum!"
"Besides, I still have a secret weapon in my hand that I haven't used in many years. The content he sent back is not as detailed as Itachi's."
"Itachi, you are worthy of our trust!"
To be honest, he had doubts about Itachi before. Including Shisui. Who knew, Itachi actually gave him a surprise. He is indeed a man with the will of fire.
Danzo murmured to himself: "Uchiha Itachi..." He suddenly raised his head, looked at Hiruzen, and said: "Hiruzen, hand over Itachi to me."
"What do you want to do?"
"I've thought of a way to deal with Uchiha!" Danzo said excitedly. "Hiruzen, believe me, as long as..."
[Bang!]
Hiruzen threw his pipe directly at Danzo.
Danzo subconsciously avoided it and shouted angrily: "What are you doing... ugh!"
He saw Koharu and Homura raise their chairs and prepare to attack him.
Hiruzen took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said: "Danzo, remember, you are not allowed to attack Uchiha again, do you hear me?"
Danzo snorted coldly.
"Did you hear me!" Hiruzen slammed the table.
The loud noise surprised Danzo and the others.
"Ok!" Faced with that aggressive gaze, Danzo reluctantly responded.
"By the way." Hiruzen said again: "The sensor shinobi and genjutsu specialist shinobi will be arriving soon."
"What do you mean?" Danzo refused.
"It doesn't matter." Hiruzen said coldly. "Just checking to see if you've been affected by a genjutsu."
'How dare you insult me!' Danzo was shaking with anger.
However, in the face of Hiruzen's increasingly fierce gaze, he had no choice but to swallow his pride.
After a thorough inspection, it was confirmed that Danzo did not have any problems.
Danzo felt relieved, but his face was full of anger, and he was about to get angry, but when he saw the expressions of Hiruzen and the others, he couldn't help but feel a chill.
"What's your expression?"
"Ahem, it's nothing!" The three of them coughed awkwardly, but their expressions were ugly.
Didn't Danzo fall into a genjutsu?
Wouldn't that be even more terrifying!
Thinking about their recent losses, they were uneasy.
So this is Danzo...
It's not that he's causing trouble on purpose, but... he's useless!
Hiruzen calmed down his agitated mood and said in a deep voice. "For now, we will leave the Uchiha aside, Itachi will keep an eye on them, besides, Funan has also said that the village should beg the Uchiha clan to take the position of Hokage, ha!" Hiruzen couldn't contain his anger.
The other three also had faces full of mockery.
"Hiruzen, the Fifth Hokage, who are you going to choose? This is a top priority." Koharu asked. "Is it Jiraiya?!"
Jiraiya had recently returned to the village, and this could not be hidden. They all believed that Hiruzen called Jiraiya back at this time in order to take over the position of Hokage.
However, Hiruzen remained silent.
Jiraiya, unlike the others, was too naive and stubborn. If he became Hokage...
"No!" Hiruzen shook his head decisively and said: "My choice is not Jiraiya, but Kakashi!"
"What?" Danzo and others were shocked. "Kakashi?"
He is too young, and his strength and prestige are not enough to support him to become Hokage.
However, in an instant, they understood why Hiruzen chose Kakashi. They couldn't help but fell silent. Kakashi was indeed more in their interest.
Hiruzen sighed and said: "If it is Jiraiya, it is actually just right, but he has a loose personality, and he himself is not willing to become Hokage."
Danzo couldn't help but shook his head and said: "The village will not accept Kakashi."
Hiruzen obviously understood, and couldn't help but feel a little irritated, saying: "Then, what are we going to do?"
"Actually, we still have one candidate!" Koharu suddenly said.
"Who?" The others were surprised.
After hesitating for a moment, Koharu whispered: "Akimichi Torifu."
"He?" Hiruzen was also stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, he's already quite old. Even if he becomes Hokage, how long can he last?"
Koharu continued: "So how about we appoint him as acting Hokage?"
Koharu said in a deep voice. "Sarutobi Hiruzen has made mistakes and resigns the position of Hokage. However, since Konoha is not stable and we need someone to handle the situation, in the absence of suitable candidates, I propose that Akimichi Torifu be the acting Fifth Hokage."
Hiruzen began to consider it.
Danzo looked at Koharu in surprise. 'This old woman actually has a brain? What a surprise. Aren't you responsible only for trivial matters and meaningless things together with Homura? How did you get involved in high-level issues?'
"Torifu..." Hiruzen was still hesitant.
Koharu said helplessly: "We have no choice. Let's let Torifu take charge for a while. We'll wait for Kakashi or someone else. Don't forget that behind Torifu will be us."
"Ok!" Hiruzen finally made up his mind, called the ANBU, and ordered him to find Torifu.
…
"You will soon be the acting Hokage, how do you feel?" Shikaku looked at the depressed old fat man with a smile.
Torifu glared at him and said: "In this situation, is this something worth being happy about?"
Shikaku smiled and said: "If it weren't for this situation, how could Hiruzen and the others be willing to give up their rights?"
Torifu frowned, looked at Shikaku, and said: "Boy, could it be said that besides Uchiha, you also had a hand in what happened recently?"
"That's right." Shikaku didn't hide anything and said: "I'm collaborating with Funan and the Uchiha. You know that."
Torifu was stunned: "When did they plan this?"
Shikaku smiled slightly but did not answer.
Based on the changes in the village, one can deduce what the other party is planning. Acting accordingly is the key.
'If possible, it would be best for the position of Hokage to remain in the hands of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans.' Shikaku thought for a moment and sighed again.
Ino-Shika-Cho's power is still insufficient.
...
After arranging everything, Funan slowly walked towards the Forest of Death.
After Danzo's many sacrifices and using the power of Uchiha to gather the life energy of a large number of death row prisoners and many animals, the fruit in Funan's body finally advanced.
Level 5 (Eye Technique)
In fact, the fifth level fruit can't even reach the Kage level.
However, the situation in the village has changed too much, and Funan can't wait to improve his eye power.
As Funan was pondering, an arm slowly rose from the ground and headed towards his back…
