Chapter 165: The Departure That Shook Konoha
Kurenai didn't waste any more time and got up to look for Funan.
Her father had given his life for Konoha, and she wanted her mate to go with dignity, not as a traitor.
Funan was still very respectful of his women. Besides, this was also part of his plan, so he let himself be led back to the meeting room.
“Is there anything else? The Fifth Hokage has already been appointed, so please inform the Daimyo and get his confirmation.” Funan said lazily.
"Uchiha Funan!" Mokume Kotaro said first. "Just because you didn't get elected as Hokage, you Uchiha are going to betray the village. Isn't that too selfish? Are the Uchiha really that weak-willed?"
Funan glanced at him, sneered, and said: "You called me back just to say this? Okay, if you want to talk, let's talk about it."
"Mokume Kotaro!"
"Touch your conscience and tell me, who is more suitable to be Hokage, me or Tsunade?"
Funan looked at Mokume Kotaro coldly and said: "Don't you know what state Tsunade is in right now?"
Mokume Kotaro was speechless.
Tsunade was afraid of blood and suffered from hemophobia. It was impossible to hide this from him.
He was also a teammate with Tsunade.
Tsunade was relaxed, showing no concern about her secret being exposed.
Funan sneered: "Uchiha is selfish and can't compare to you. You chose Tsunade with a selfless sentiment. I admire you. You are the heirs of the will of fire and have extraordinary capacity."
Mokume Kotaro looked embarrassed.
In fact, even if Tsunade didn't have hemophobia, Funan was more suitable than her to some extent.
Funan continued: "As for why we want to leave Konoha, don't you know the reason? Haha, Uchiha has always been excluded in Konoha. If that's the case, why should we stay? Are Uchiha so cheap in your eyes?" His voice became cold, and he said: "On the one hand, you let us fight on the battlefield for Konoha and fight on the front line, and on the other hand, you exclude us and hate us. Haha, are you so shameless?"
"Fuck you! What kind of scum are you!"
"What do you think of yourselves? Fuck!"
"Fuck!"
"A bunch of beasts!"
"Garbage!"
Funan cursed loudly.
Many were left with gloomy faces.
"Tell you!" Funan pointed at the people present and said coldly: "Uchiha won't play with you anymore, you can continue to plot here, and before I leave, I left you a very good gift."
"What?" Hiruzen immediately became nervous and said: "Uchiha Funan, what did you do?"
"Haven't you all seen it?" Funan laughed softly and said mockingly: "I dealt with Sunagakure first, then taught Iwagakure and Kumogakure a lesson. What do you think they'll do when they find out the Uchiha have left Konoha?"
"The pleasure of abusing them is momentary, but the consequences are serious. Do you understand?"
Hiruzen was stunned.
Torifu's scalp was numb!
Jiraiya turned pale.
The Jonin present were about to faint.
Hiruzen gritted his teeth and said: "Uchiha Funan, don't feel too satisfied. You said it yourself, it was you who acted against Sunagakure. Do you think they will take revenge on you or on Konoha?"
Funan said sarcastically: "Of course they will attack you, because I have already prepared a hiding place for the Uchiha. It is a valley that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is only one entrance. Haha, I just want to know, I am leading the Uchiha to guard that one entrance. Which blind thing dares to come and make trouble."
Hiruzen and others almost fainted.
"One entrance does not mean everything is fine." Tsunade said: "Where are the supplies? You Uchiha now have more than 2,000 people. Don't you have to eat or drink? What will you do if someone cuts off your supplies?"
Funan smiled and said: "I have thought of these a long time ago, so I prepared some non-perishable food to ensure that the Uchiha can survive for three months."
"Three months is enough for the Uchiha to do a lot of things."
Speaking of this, Funan sighed and said: "Those non-perishable foods are very unpalatable. As a gourmet, I don't like them very much. Tsunade, can you understand my pain?"
"..."
Everyone didn't know what to say.
Uchiha is so well prepared?
Torifu sighed and said: "Funan, Uchiha has prepared so much. Has he been prepared to betray Konoha?"
"Don't put the blame on me, Torifu-sama." Funan smiled and said: "It's not us who betrayed Konoha, but Konoha that betrayed us."
"Uchiha joined hands with Senju to create Konoha in order to give their descendants a space to survive and develop. Now Konoha is targeting Uchiha and hopes that we will all die on the battlefield. In this case, is it necessary for us to stay?"
"Uchiha has left, and you don't have to be afraid of Uchiha anymore. It's a relief, and everyone is happy, isn't it?"
God damn everyone is happy!
Many jonin turned pale.
Tsunade said: "We recommend Uchiha Funan to be the new Hokage, how about it?"
"Funan, your ability and achievements are enough to become the new Hokage."
Hiruzen moved his lips but did not speak.
"No, no, no!" Funan waved his hands and said: "Tsunade, what are you talking about? Everyone has chosen you to be the new Hokage. This is such an honor and serious matter. How can you let others go? Isn't this a joke?"
"Who has ever heard that the position of Hokage can be let others go?"
"Besides, we Uchiha also believe that you will become an excellent Hokage."
Funan raised his thumbs and smiled with teeth shining, saying: "Tsunade, we believe in you, come on!"
Tsunade was in a state of dismay.
Might Guy!
You bastard, you actually infected Uchiha Funan with your youth!
"We're leaving!" Funan stood up, dusted off his pants, and, accompanied by Fugaku and the others, headed out again.
Everyone looked at his back with unwilling eyes but did not say anything.
All that should be said has been said, and the rest can only be dealt with privately.
Many things are not appropriate to say in front of so many jonin.
The only thing they knew for sure was that Uchiha could not separate from Konoha; they would not allow it!
However, they didn't know that the game had just begun.
That afternoon, the news that Uchiha Funan was about to leave Konoha with the Uchiha spread throughout Konoha.
Konoha was in an uproar.
Recently, they had heard too much about Uchiha Funan.
He is the hero of Konoha!
Although he is an Uchiha, many people in Konoha are still proud of him.
Now, this hero was about to take his clan away from Konoha.
This is a betrayal!
Everyone in Konoha was very angry.
The extreme contradiction made them want to condemn the Uchiha, demanding the Konoha authorities to take severe measures against them.
They could not forgive any act of betrayal.
But at the same time a question quickly spread throughout Konoha.
If Uchiha Funan leaves, what will happen if other shinobi villages attack Konoha again?
This was the most direct concern... one's own safety!
Konoha had many powerful shinobi, but Funan was the most representative. Moreover, the situation on the Kiri front had raised his prestige to the peak.
Now, that kind of person was going to leave Konoha.
The people of Konoha could not accept it for a while.
Directing public opinion was one of Funan's most outstanding skills.
Many of Konoha's top officials were against the Uchiha. Their prejudices were clearly and openly displayed for all to see.
Many Uchiha spoke out about these things in a high-profile manner.
The Uchiha were under attack!
With this Hokage selection as the fuse, it broke out completely!
Why didn't Uchiha Funan become Hokage?
Is Tsunade really better than him?
Konoha has experienced several wars this year, where is Tsunade?
Why is a woman who has left the village for more than ten years respected by so many people?
Just because she's the granddaughter of the First Hokage and disciple of the Third Hokage?
Is that enough to make her Hokage?
One question after another circulated among the crowd.
After the rumor spread, people started to think for themselves.
The human imagination is very rich.
The villagers did not disappoint!
While the Uchiha were being attacked, the figure of Tsunade emerged, a woman who had disappeared for more than ten years and returned to be recommended as Hokage.
Why can she become Hokage after returning?
Why did she leave the village for more than ten years?
How many people could have been saved on the battlefield by the world's best medical-nin?
Although she has trained many talented medical-nin, were Funan's achievements any less?
Soon, an Uchiha who was walking outside and being pointed at by others shouted loudly, shutting up many people.
"Tsunade can leave for more than ten years, why can't we Uchiha? We only want to leave for ten years..."
"Isn't it allowed? Why can Tsunade? Because she's from the Hokage faction? In the final analysis, Konoha keeps attacking the Uchiha. They've always attacked us. Why won't they let us go? Are they too arrogant, or are we too despicable to not stay and die?"
This statement was devastating.
Why can Tsunade leave the village for more than ten years?
If it was an ordinary shinobi, he would have been labeled a traitor long ago.
But Tsunade returns to take over as Hokage!
This difference in treatment is too obvious!
The situation began to reverse.
The villagers were originally full of anger towards Uchiha, but now they began to turn to the top leaders of Konoha.
Why treat Uchiha differently?
Although they also hated the Konoha Police Force, was it necessary to be so unfair?
Isn't this forcing people to rebel?
Chaos!
Under Funan's deliberate actions, the entire Konoha began to enter a period of chaos.
