Chapter 119: Of Clans, Cries, and Careless Comments
When Hiruzen saw the person who had spoken, he resisted the urge to punch him, gritted his teeth and said: "Uchiha Funan..."
"Monkey..."
[Bang!]
Funan had barely started speaking when Hiruzen had already summoned Monkey King Enma, with a cold look.
"Goodbye!" Funan threw down a word and turned to leave.
Hiruzen gnashed his teeth and said: "Why is this haunting guy everywhere?"
Enma looked at him in confusion and said: "Is that Uchiha Funan? Why does he feel... so unserious?"
"Okay, stop talking!" Hiruzen left with a grim expression.
…
"The telescope technique must not be given to you!"
In the Hokage's office, the situation had changed.
Torifu, Kazu and Shikaku face Funan together.
"Why?" Funan was so angry that he almost jumped up and said, 'I have shed blood for Konoha.'
Torifu was furious. "I will never give you that technique. I told you, this wretched ninjutsu, must be sealed!"
"Wretched? Are there any ninjutsus more wretched than yours Ino-Shika-Cho?"
"What did you say?" Torifu rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fight.
"Want to fight? Who's afraid of who?" Funan sneered.
"Look at you, Ino-Shika-Cho, the Nara clan is playing with other people's bodies."
"The Yamanaka clan is messing with other people's minds."
“The Akimichi clan… Partial Multi-Size Technique? Go to hell!”
"I'm so jealous... ahem, you're calling me filthy? Where's your conscience?"
The veins on Torifu's forehead throbbed.
Shikaku was also speechless.
"Funan, I'm the Hokage!"
"Acting!"
"That's also the Hokage!"
"You're unreasonable!"
"Damn!" Torifu laughed in anger. You, Uchiha Funan, did you really say that others are unreasonable? Is there anyone more unreasonable than you in the whole Konoha?
“Enough, do you have any other business?” Torifu said with a headache. “If not, I'll assign you a mission and you're out of here.”
“I have something to do!”
“Then you do it after completing my mission!” Torifu roared.
Funan looked at Torifu strangely.
"What's wrong?"
"Why don't you..." Funan gestured and said: "Why don't you cry? Why don't you wipe your nose? You're actually roaring so vigorously?"
Kazu and Shikaku turned their heads simultaneously.
They just came to the Hokage's office with Funan, and they really didn't know what happened before. Torifu had kicked them out of the office earlier.
Torifu was shocked and angry.
“I don’t understand what you are saying?” Torifu said suspiciously: “Crying? Wiping your nose? Who would do something so inappropriate in the Hokage’s office?” He narrowed his eyes and stared at Funan.
Funan curled his lips and said: "Okay, I'm dazzled, okay?"
"Psycho!" Torifu muttered. “The mission I’m going to assign you is related to Suna.”
“What’s wrong?” Funan asked with a mocking smile. “After defeating Kumo, now you want me to take care of Suna? No problem, Suna is easier. In ten days I can make them surrender.”
“There is no need to fight Suna!” Torifu complained. “With how weak Sunagakure is, as long as the other villages don’t cause us trouble, they wouldn’t even dare to attack Konoha. But we need to establish our authority.”
"Let them behave themselves and be good allies led by Konoha!"
“Establish our authority?” Funan asked.
"Yes!"
"You want to trick me?" Funan raised his eyebrows and said: "I remember that Sunagakure just got a large sum of money from us. You want me to go now? Why don't you let Danzo go?"
Torifu said unhappily: "If Danzo goes, can he come back?"
Funan spread his hands, "Isn't that better!"
"Hmm?" Torifu rubbed his chin, really considering the idea.
In the whole Konoha, except for Sarutobi Hiruzen, probably no one wants Danzo to continue living.
Torifu shook his head quickly. If Danzo is really killed, Sarutobi Hiruzen will fight him to the death!
'Damn, I was almost led into a ditch by Funan.'
"Don't talk nonsense!" Torifu glared at Funan fiercely and said: “This time, you will lead the diplomatic mission to Suna. You know what it means to establish authority, right?”
“I know!” Funan did not refuse. Pakura also had to return to Sunagakure. Besides, Rasa is now Funan's toy, and he also wants to see if there is anything else worth using in Sunagakure.
After agreeing on the details with Torifu, Funan winked at Kazu before leaving the Hokage's office, leaving the girl blushing.
"Kazu..."
"Kazu!" Torifu had to call her several times before she answered.
“What? What’s wrong, Acting Hokage?”
"Ah!" Torifu and Shikaku looked at each other and felt a headache.
Torifu said seriously: "Stay away from Uchiha, understand?"
"Yes!" The little girl answered very straightforwardly.
Torifu and Shikaku would say this to her several times a day, and her answer has become a routine.
Torifu was even more helpless.
Shikaku sighed. "I'll pay more attention!"
Being assigned to Torifu's side is enough to show the little girl's talent.
They couldn't let Uchiha Funan, that bastard, take her away.
…
"Mmm!" With a loud moan, the room fell silent.
After a long time, Funan's lazy voice sounded: “I’ll take you back to Suna.”
“Take me back?” Pakura was surprised. “Are you going to Suna?”
She already knew that she had to leave Konoha and return to Suna, but she didn't expect Funan to accompany her. The look she gave Funan softened a little.
"I'm worried about you going alone, and I want to spend a few more days with you." Funan said with a smile. “Besides, I’m worried that something might happen to you in Suna. You know Rasa isn’t dead.”
“Humph!” Pakura snorted, looking at Funan with disdain. “What are you planning?”
After the battle against Kumo, Pakura had received the news that Rasa was not dead, something that had surprised her.
How could he have survived in that situation? It could only mean that Funan wanted Rasa to stay alive.
Funan still smiled and said: "Guess?"
He wasn't worried that Pakura would turn against him. They had been together for a long time and knew each other well. Plus, he was confident in his Mangekyo Sharingan technique, which had increased Pakura's loyalty towards him.
"Rasa is your man now!" Pakura's words were filled with certainty.
“Nonsense! You are my man. He is a stinky man. What use do I have for him? Although he is useful to many people, I am absolutely…”
"I'm serious, so you be serious too." Pakura glared at Funan angrily and said: "I warn you, even though Sunagakure is under your command, you cannot do anything that would harm them. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being kind."
Funan laughed and said: "Oh, that threat sounds... like you could actually do something. Come on, dear, tell me, what could you do? Die alongside Rasa? Attack me directly? Or look for those two elderly who live in hiding?"
Pakura was silent for a while, sighed, and said: "It's not easy to get Chiyo and Ebizo back together."
"Rasa almost protested openly, hoping that they would retire."
"That's all!" Funan spread his hands and said: "Then what are you still struggling for?"
Pakura's eyebrows were raised, and he said: "From what you say, are you really planning to do something against Sunagakure?"
Funan said slyly. "That depends on your performance."
Pakura rolled his eyes in anger and said: "Stop playing around. Tell me, what exactly are you planning to do?"
"I'll give you a guarantee." Funan smiled and said: "Yes, I plan to do some things in Sunagakure, but they won't be bad. In fact, Sunagakure might experience unprecedented development."
Pakura thought for a moment and decided not to argue any further.
Rasa was Funan's subordinate. Funan was practically the shadow ruler of Sunagakure.
If he handled it well, all of Sunagakure would be his. As long as he wasn't crazy, he wouldn't do anything that would harm his own interests.
Given the situation within Konoha, Funan might really need to vigorously develop Sunagakure to contain Konoha's high-level forces.
…
In the territory of the Uchiha clan.
After making a series of arrangements, Funan sat quietly under a cherry tree drinking tea.
Shirayu was standing behind him, pouring him tea.
Suddenly, insects appeared one by one, forming words in front of Funan.
It was a message from the Aburame clan.
After Funan saw it, he waved his hand gently, and the insects scattered instantly.
"Very good, very good..."
"Are you connected with the Aburame clan?" Shirayu looked at Funan in surprise.
"Aburame Shibi is my subordinate." Funan said calmly, leaving Shirayu stunned.
Uchiha Setsuna, who had just arrived here, was also stunned.
Funan stood up, looked at Setsuna, and said: "Old man, after I leave, if the Aburame clan has any problems, remember to help. Don't be too obvious back then. This setback is best kept in the shadows."
"No problem!" Setsuna replied quickly, then asked, full of expectation: "Are there any other shinobi clans? I wouldn't mind having more!"
Funan was speechless and said: "Don't forget how long I've been in the clan. Getting an Aburame to join was hard enough."
"That's right." Setsuna sat opposite Funan and said: "Are you going to Sunagakure?"
"Yes, there is a matter that requires my presence."
"Be careful." Setsuna said with a serious expression. "You are the present and future of Uchiha. If something happens to you, do you know what will happen to Uchiha?"
"Don't worry, whoever can hurt me hasn't been born yet."
"Shisui will go with you." Setsuna's tone left no room for discussion. "It is a decision of all the elders, including the clan head. Your safety is the most important thing for the Uchiha."
"Okay!" Funan agreed without objection, adding: "But I don't want Shisui, give me Itachi. His strength is enough to ensure my safety."
Currently, the Uchiha clan has five pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan: Funan, Fugaku, Setsuna, Shisui and Itachi.
Only three pairs are known to the outside world: those of Funan, Fugaku and Shisui.
For two of these three pairs to be absent simultaneously is something Funan cannot afford. He cannot risk Hiruzen doing something stupid.
It is safer to leave two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan in the clan.
Setsuna was a little hesitant, but when he thought of the power that Itachi had burst out during the training, he nodded.
"Okay!"
