Chapter 37: Infiltration and Revelation

"Who are you?!" Fugaku shouted. His expression was cold. How is it possible! In the central area of the Uchiha clan, an unknown person managed to enter. How has he managed to evade surveillance barriers and patrol teams?

Especially the current patrol teams. Under Funan's orders, sensor ninjas have joined the patrol team. Although the number is not large, it ensures that each patrol team has at least one.

A new type of barrier has also been added, the configuration of which is only known to Fugaku, Funan, Setsuna and Soji.

Furthermore, the people present were elite ninjas at worst, and there were three pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan. Before Funan opened his mouth, neither he nor Shisui noticed each other. This is too strange!

Funan intervened before the masked man spoke. "Clan leader, he is also an Uchiha, but he seems to be a missing-nin."

A missing-nin of the Uchiha clan? Fugaku and the others frowned, as if remembering.

There aren't many missing-nin of the Uchiha clan, only a few in total, and he can also hide around him without anyone noticing. Who could it be?

The masked man's entire face was in shadow, but Funan could sense that the other man was sizing him up. Unconsciously, Funan gave a thumbs up and smiled at the masked man, showing his shining teeth.

The masked: "..."

This classic shape reminded him of someone familiar. He couldn't help but feel a little restless.

Furthermore, being discovered by Funan was not in his plans, which increased his alert level.

Facing the six strongest Uchiha, which included three pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan, the masked man would flee as soon as someone made a move; otherwise they would beat him to death.

'Damn, I haven't been here for just a few days, and the Uchiha clan has become the most dangerous place in the entire ninja world. Except for the God of Shinobi and the Ghost of the Uchiha, whoever comes will die!' Uchiha Obito took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "You can actually find me. It seems that great talents have been born in the clan."

"Avoid the sensor ninjas and protective barriers to reach us without being detected. You are not an ordinary Uchiha, are you a wielder of the Mangekyo Sharingan?" Funan looked at Uchiha Obito and chuckled.

That smile had a profound meaning, which made Obito even more uncomfortable. He had a vague feeling that Funan knew more than he imagined.

"Mangekyo Sharingan?"

Fugaku and others were really shocked.

Despite the long history of the Uchiha clan, documented wielders of the Mangekyo Sharingan were truly few.

This man actually has a Mangekyo Sharingan?

Obito was also shocked. He looked at Funan with cold eyes and said: "How does someone who hasn't left the village in years know so much? Are you really Uchiha Funan?"

"Haha... I was discovered by you!"

Funan showed the three tomoe in his eyes, crossed his arms over his chest, and said arrogantly, "In that case, I will tell you my real name..."

"I'm Uchiha Madara!" He stretched out his finger fiercely, pointed at Uchiha Obito, and said: "Want to dance?"

Damn it! The corners of Fugaku's lips twitched. Just you? Uchiha Madara? Out of here. After raising the tension like this? And now you come with this? When will the bad jokes end?

Especially Setsuna and Soji, they had both met Uchiha Madara in person and followed his teachings.

Is there even a Funan hair that looks like Uchiha Madara? A guy who carries a cage of birds and drinks tea all day, in addition to flirting with the girls of the clan. Is this what Madara Uchiha is like?

What the hell, when Uchiha Madara died, he was still a virgin, meanwhile this guy has almost 'killed' a hundred people.

Funan ignored the people rolling their eyes at him and said to Obito: "Boy, tell me your name!"

Uchiha Obito: "..."

Obito complained in his mind. 'Who the hell am I supposed to say who I am now?'

"What?" Funan raised his eyebrows and said: "You courageous rat, don't you even dare to say your name in front of me, Uchiha Madara?"

Uchiha Obito said in a low voice: "That's enough, Uchiha Funan, let me ask you, do you hate Danzo?"

Funan didn't even think about it and said directly: "I don't hate it!"

Funan thought: 'I really love Danzo to death.'

You wouldn't believe it! If it weren't for the bastard Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen himself, the village might be a different place, much more dangerous for the Uchiha.

Now, everyone hates Danzo. If there is any dirty thing, they will all throw it at Danzo. How great! Everyone's slogan is... Damn Danzo!

Therefore, the Uchiha have a chance.

At the same time that Danzo was defeated, Danzo was succeeded.

That's why when Funan has nothing to do, he will create some small problems and throw them at Danzo's head.

In recent years, due to the good relationship between Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, the ninja clans, large and small, did not dare to make a sound, and they swallowed a lot of bitter fruits. In reality, many hate Danzo deeply.

This is the reason why Funan dared to cause trouble at this time.

Otherwise, even if Funan can use the Susanoo indefinitely, he wouldn't dare to be so reckless. Yes, he can defeat Konoha, but what about the other four villages? A bunch of them will pile on him to death!

"Hmph!" Obito snorted coldly and said: "You have been fighting with him for several years, and now it is even more obvious. It is already a life-and-death situation, so why bother pretending in front of me."

"It seems like you don't believe me no matter what I say?" Funan spread his hands and said: "Okay, stranger with the Mangekyo Sharingan, what's your goal?"

Obito looked at the others and said coldly: "Now is not the right time, just wait, we will meet again, Uchiha Funan."

The space was distorted and Obito disappeared.

Damn it, from the beginning to the end, he was suppressed by Funan. He didn't even dare to say his name. This caused Obito to choke back all the rest of his words. He wants to leave, calm down and find his drive again. Besides, there are many things he cannot say in front of others.

"Disappeared?" Fugaku frowned and said coldly: "Time and space ninjutsu?"

This kind of ninja is the most troublesome.

"It should be his Mangekyo Sharingan technique." Funan smiled faintly and said: "Itachi, go and check on the barrier team and the sensor ninjas. They must have had an accident."

"Understood!" Itachi used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

After a while, Itachi returned and then reported. "Funan-aniki, you are right. Some of those in charge of the barriers fell into genjutsu and deactivated the barriers. The sensor ninjas are also unconscious. When I arrived, the patrol teams had already found them and were about to come to report."

Funan nodded, looked at everyone, and said: "Now you know why I changed the barrier, the secret sentry and the patrol team, right? The Uchiha clan has almost become a tourist attraction. Anyone who wants to come can come."

Fugaku took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "Funan, you only need to worry about external affairs. You don't have to worry about internal matters."

"I will personally take care of it, and Elder Setsuna and Elder Soji will also help me."

Setsuna and Soji nodded.

In the past, even if Itachi admitted personally that he informed the Hokage and others of all the barriers, patrols and secret sentries, Setsuna and the others still didn't care.

This is the pride of the Uchiha clan, self-confidence. They don't believe that anyone dares to break into the Uchiha clan. Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others are no exception.

Just like the Uchiha is divided into four factions, if you include the Funan faction, Konoha as a whole has many factions. It is not so easy to wage a civil war.

In the Naruto Series, during the night of the genocide, the Hokage faction and others had already completely infiltrated the Uchiha clan. With two Mangekyo Sharingan that cooperated with the actions of Root and ANBU, in addition to the fact that the Uchiha clan had Fugaku, a beast, as its leader, who decided not to resist. Otherwise, destroying the Uchiha clan would be just a dream for them.

Just like now, after Uchiha became vigilant, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately did not dare to move.

If they really start a battle, the Uchiha will definitely be defeated, but how much will Konoha lose? Conservatively speaking, they would lose hundreds of ninjas. Will the other four ninja villages still just watch and not take action? The result of the civil war was that everyone died together.

"That's okay!" Someone helped share the work, and it was too late for Funan to be happy.

Fugaku, Setsuna and Soji are very experienced. If they simply carry out family defense, they will definitely be able to guard the Uchiha clan as if it were protected by a solid iron wall.

And having just his say in external matters made everything more manageable.

"Be careful. You also know that the relationship between the village and Uchiha has become even more tense. They could attack us at any moment. Once Uchiha is careless, the other party will definitely not mind setting off a fire."

"Don't worry!" Fugaku smiled coldly and said, "However, I want to correct you. The relationship between Uchiha and the village has eased a bit, but the relationship with Sarutobi Hiruzen and others is more tense."

"That makes sense."

In just three days, the Uchiha had greatly reduced their intervention in trivial matters. This surprised many villagers, who watched the Uchiha with curious looks and did not understand why they seemed 'lazy' all of a sudden.

Fugaku had a hunch that if he continued according to Funan's method, he might be able to remove Uchiha from the whirlpool of everyone's disgust.

…

Hokage Residence. Sarutobi Hiruzen's office.

The Konoha Corrupt Quartet is also having an intense meeting.

"Leave it to me, Hiruzen!" Danzo said with a cold voice: "I will make Uchiha feel the pain."

Hearing this, the Third Hokage and others first felt the pain. Danzo, why are you always so confident?

"You have lost twenty people! Twenty jonin!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly: "No, it's twenty-one! There is also a Kato Fuuko!" A jonin had a sensor! How rare they are in the village.

Thinking of the sensor ninja who made many mistakes when he was looking for Uchiha Funan last time, Hiruzen Sarutobi began to have random thoughts for no reason... If it was Kato Fuuko, such a problem might not occur.

After all, Kato Fuuko is a jonin, and while the sensor ninja who went with him to find Funan is just a special jonin. With this thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi became increasingly dissatisfied with Danzo.

Although he is the Hokage of Konoha, not everyone obeys his orders unconditionally.

For example, if he now orders all the ninjas in Konoha to attack Uchiha and start a civil war, then many ninjas will have a question mark.

Uchiha didn't rebel. Even though they were unpleasant, they were still companions of the same village, and they were so fierce. Why attack them so severely?

You can say that Uchiha has done a lot of bad things, but Danzo seems to have done more. Today you attack the Uchiha, and tomorrow us? In this situation, loyal ninjas were vitally important.

Due to Danzo's failure, the Root jonin suffered heavy losses, several ANBU jonin also lost their lives. And now he wants to repeat it?

Koharu said: "Danzo, you also have to consider the impact. There is already a lot of discussion in the village."

"This matter is easy to handle!" Danzo said coldly: "They were just a group of spies from other villages. They saw the deputy leader of the Uchiha clan entering the forest of death alone, so they took action. Maybe it was to obtain information, or maybe to obtain the Sharingan."

[Bang!]

"That's enough, Danzo!" Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table and said angrily: "Do you think the ninjas in the village are fools? Twenty foreign shinobi appear in the village, causing such a stir with Funan... You... You... Cough, Cough!"

"Hiruzen!" Seeing this, both Koharu and Homura exclaimed.

Although Danzo looked indifferent, he also cast a worried look. The Third Hokage cannot die at this time. He was not ready to take over as Hokage.

After coughing several times, the Third Hokage regained his breath and gritted his teeth and said: "Danzo, stop all your actions, at least don't use force. The ninja clans are already starting to question us."

"I cannot do this." Danzo refused without hesitation. Seeing Hiruzen's angry look, he briefly explained: "I'm not going to attack them inside the village. I just need to lure them outside the village and then take action."

"That's easy for you to say." The Third Hokage calmed down a bit. "Funan hasn't left the village for several years. Damn, he's too careful. He doesn't look like an Uchiha at all."

The Third Hokage finally stopped hiding his hatred. Uchiha Funan, this guy is completely different from other Uchiha.

Those who are familiar with Uchiha, whenever they think of them, they will immediately think of a few words: arrogance, strength, and the supremacy of force.

However, Uchiha Funan is only lustful, lazy, cautious and cruel. Whenever he had the chance, he would bite you mercilessly, and he would not tolerate a loss.

Even though Danzo was the first to attack this time, they lost twenty jonin. Even so, Uchiha Funan still insisted on being assigned a sealing team.

They are all chunin or higher. Furthermore, ninjas who specialize in sealing are extremely rare. Pain in the heart! Headache.

The tricks used to deal with Uchiha in the past are completely ineffective against Funan.

[Toc, toc, toc]

There were knocks at the door. Hiruzen changed his expression again.

At this time, unless there is something very important, the ANBU will never dare to disturb the meeting between them.

"Come in!"

"Yes!"

A teenager walked into the conference room. Uchiha Itachi. The Hokage and the others couldn't help being startled, but they quickly recovered.

"Itachi, why are you here?" The Hokage smiled.

Uchiha Itachi said seriously: "Hokage-sama, I want to kill Uchiha Funan!"

"This..." Hokage and the others were completely stunned.

Why did Uchiha Itachi show so much killing intent?

Hiruzen couldn't help but ask: "Why?"

"Danzo-sama is right!" Uchiha Itachi said solemnly: "The existence of Uchiha Funan will only destroy the peace and stability of the village. He should not exist."

Hiruzen was silent and looked at Uchiha Itachi with strange eyes.

"Itachi, you are a real ninja." Danzo said slowly: "You have discovered it, right?"

"Yes!" Itachi said solemnly: "Because of Uchiha Funan, a civil war almost broke out in the village. Even now, there are undercurrents in the village, all because of Uchiha Funan!"

Danzo nodded slightly: "Very well, Itachi, for the sake of Konoha, Uchiha Funan must be eliminated."

"Danzo!" The Hokage shouted and said coldly: "It was you who attacked a fellow villager without authorization, incurring Funan's wrath. I haven't held you responsible for that yet!"

"Hiruzen, you are always so naive." Danzo said coldly: "Uchiha Funan, even among Uchiha, is special. He has never even integrated into Uchiha, let alone the village!"

Faced with the performance of the two, Itachi kept his face imperturbable as he thought: 'Can I say, Funan can even guess what you will say? Would it shock you too much?'

"Shut up!" The Third Hokage shouted coldly, then he looked at Itachi and said in a deep voice. "Itachi, you are a ninja who has had the Will of Fire since you were a child, so if you can understand me, I want to ask for your forgiveness."

"Hokage-sama!" Itachi raised his head and looked at the old face of the Third Hokage, his expression full of astonishment. Hokage apologized to him?

The Third Hokage sighed deeply and looked out the window at the prosperous village. Following his gaze, Itachi's expression changed again.

"Due to Danzo's unauthorized actions, there is no room for relaxation between the village and Uchiha Funan. However, he has taken over the power of Uchiha. As the Hokage, I can only..."

He did not say the rest.

Itachi nodded heavily and said: "That is precisely my purpose here, Hokage-sama. I am from Konoha, the Uchiha are from Konoha, but Uchiha Funan... he is not. Therefore, eliminating him is inevitable."
