TUS Chapter 65: The Verbal Vendetta
🕑 Added 2024-03-22 21:09:20 +0000 UTCHomura said angrily: "Do we have to die in battle for it to be okay?"
Koharu asked anxiously: "What should we do now?"
Hiruzen inhaled deeply, keeping his face calm, and said: "Don't worry. In the end, rumors are just that, rumors. It's not that hard to disprove them, we just have to..."
"Do you think Uchiha Funan will give you a chance?" Danzo suddenly interrupted.
Damn it!
Hiruzen glared at Danzo fiercely and shouted angrily: "How dare you speak? Who do you think is responsible for the current situation?"
"I!" Danzo admitted it shamelessly.
"Then you are still talking nonsense!?"
"No, Hiruzen!" Danzo said solemnly. "I see that you are hesitating. You probably don't have a good plan. It would be better to hand everything over to me. I will make sure that Uchiha Funan regrets his actions today."
As he spoke those words, a dead silence fell over the Hokage's office...
Hiruzen, had tears in his eyes and his body was shaking. At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated. Thoughts of dying ran through his mind. Of course, before he dies, he must kill Danzo!
Koharu and Homura clutched their chests.
"What's happening?" Danzo frowned and asked: "Don't you trust me?"
Hiruzen sighed and said calmly: "Danzo, now I just want to kill you, so please shut up, otherwise, I will really do it."
…
Relaxed Funan was lying under a tree, swinging his chair. He took the cup of tea and began to sip...
In the distance, a tall figure was slowly approaching.
Funan was surprised and said: "Jiraiya? When did you come back?"
Jiraiya sat down next to Funan and said: "The third generation sent a message that something big happened and asked me to return to Konoha immediately. Who knew that I saw a big show just after I came back."
"It's a free show. We don't charge you any money. Aren't you happy?" Funan laughed playfully.
"Funan!" Jiraiya's words were serious, and he said: "Stop it, the matter has become big, if it continues like this..."
"Don't fuck with me!" Funan said coldly, the Mangekyo Sharingan appeared in his eyes, with cold killing intent.
"You... Your eyes..." Jiraiya looked at Funan in shock: "Mangekyo? You actually awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
[Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!]
Sensing Funan's killing intent, his guards rushed over one after another and surrounded Jiraiya.
"Back off!" Funan shouted sharply.
The Uchiha guards retreated silently and disappeared.
Jiraiya was shocked again. The ten people who had just appeared were all Jonin Uchiha.
Has Funan's control over Uchiha reached this level?
Funan said calmly: "With these eyes, the Uchiha clan now has three pairs, and that is only what can be seen with the naked eye. I don't know how many more there are in the shadows."
Jiraiya clenched his fists instinctively, feeling a heaviness in his heart. The Uchiha clan is so powerful, it's no wonder Danzo wants to take action.
"Jiraiya, I should have told you that after you leave, don't go back to Konoha, let alone show up in front of me!" Funan's words were calm.
"Funan..."
"Jiraiya, tell me, why can't a Hokage appear in the Uchiha clan?" Funan asked calmly. "If they have that wish, is it wrong?"
"There have been many recent events, there have even been two assassination attempts against me, why? Have I done something wrong? They say the Uchiha are planning a coup, do you think I would do it?"
Jiraiya was deeply worried, he couldn't say anything, but he was full of anger towards Danzo. The Third Hokage is also wrong, allowing Danzo to act that way.
"Are you coming here to tell me to stop?" Funan asked calmly. "Isn't that too much? Am I the one who acted first?"
He looked at Jiraiya and said coldly: "They think the Uchiha clan is dangerous, so they come and beat us up a bit, boasting that the Uchiha should kneel and not stand up."
"Who do they think they are?"
Jiraiya could feel Funan's anger. "Funan, isn't peace good?"
"Haha, don't say this to me, does it make sense to me? I just said that the one who struck first was not Uchiha. Even if a war breaks out, don't blame Uchiha. "
"Jiraiya, the fun has just begun. You can't stop it or prevent it. Wouldn't it be better if you went and found the Child of Destiny? Maybe he can change all this."
Funan picked up the tea cup. If Jiraiya and Tsunade also return to Konoha and side with the Hokage, it will really be a blow to Uchiha.
But, Funan has to apologize.
Not to mention that these two people may not be on the Hokage's side. Even if they are really on the opposite side of Funan, Funan has a way to deal with them.
Jiraiya sighed quietly, turned and left. He couldn't persuade Funan.
"Jiraiya!" Looking at Jiraiya's retreating figure, Funan spoke. "Now that you have returned, go see Minato's son, as an Uchiha, I can't help him."
"Help?" Jiraiya was startled, and his pace of leaving suddenly accelerated.
…
At this moment, the Ino-Shika-Cho clans were not calm either.
Shikaku has been acting secretly, carefully wooing some strong people.
Now he is forced to stop too. Even the trusty Torifu has also been attacked. At this time, many people looked at him with doubts.
"Uncle, what exactly happened back then?" Shikaku was sitting across from Torifu, watching the fat old man curse and couldn't help but ask.
"What's happening?" Torifu said with narrowed eyes. "Do you also think that we harmed Tobirama-sensei?"
"No, no, no!" Shikaku waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I'm just curious."
"What are you curious about?"
Shikaku was obviously hesitant.
"Say it already!"
"Okay!" Shikaku smiled bitterly. "A lot of things don't make sense. Don't bother with outside rumors. The truth is that the Hokage died, and the Hokage Guard returned and became the new Hokage and the Elders."
Torifu was choked.
Staring at Shikaku, Torifu said helplessly: "In fact, it was Tobirama-sensei who ordered us to retreat first, and he was responsible for defending the rear."
Looking at the silent Shikaku, Torifu shook his head and said: "Tobirama-sensei's death can only be said to be an accident."
"Accident?"
"Yes!" Torifu said helplessly: "We all thought that Tobirama-sensei could come back alive because he mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique."
"Now most people within the village also talk about that technique." Shikaku said. "Everyone doubts the Hokage Guard precisely because the Second Hokage mastered that technique. How could he die, even if he was at a disadvantage? He could have retreated unscathed."
"Yes, we thought so at the time." Torifu sighed and said: "Who knew that Tobirama-sensei would be like this... ugh!"
"Why?"
"Treasured Tools of the Sage of Six Paths!"
"What?" Shikaku stood up in shock.
"Yes!"
"Does Kumogakure have those things?"
"Who would have thought?" Torifu said calmly. "No wonder Kumogakure has been competing with Konoha to take the position of the number one shinobi village. It must be said that, apart from Konoha, Kumogakure is indeed the strongest."
He was vaguely worried. Konoha has been experiencing problems in recent years.
What about Kumogakure? It has almost no missing-nin. The development of the entire village is also relatively stable.
If another war broke out, could Konoha remain as before...
But now no one can stop. The sword has been unsheathed, we can only move forward!
"Then what should we do now?" Shikaku also had a headache and said: "It's incredible that we've gotten to this point."
"We must find a way to stop it!" Torifu said in a deep voice. "If this continues to escalate, there will inevitably be a war, and Kumogakure will likely not let this opportunity pass."
"How to stop it?" Shikaku was speechless and said: "I'm sure Uchiha Funan's killer move is still to come."
"Isn't this a killer move? That kid is a beast? Even now, I'm so scared that I've lost weight." Torifu's tone changed.
"It is not." Shikaku shook his head firmly. "If it ends now, it shows that Funan doesn't have many trump cards. However, according to my understanding of him, if he doesn't have enough trump cards, it won't cause any trouble."
Torifu rubbed his brows with a headache.
[Swoosh!]
A shinobi appeared in front of them.
Shikaku looked tense and said, "What's wrong?"
"The latest information!" The shinobi said respectfully as he handed in a report.
After everyone finished reading, they were startled: "Uchiha Funan, is he crazy?"
The report contained intelligence about rumors from outside: Uchiha Funan, for his mission, abandoned his companions. But have they forgotten that there was a man named Hatake Sakumo, who abandoned his mission for his companions? The people also criticized him and in the end, he died. So which one of them is right?
