Chapter 35: Everyone has a meeting

Funan raised his head and said seriously: "Clan leader, I have said it before, everything I do is to avoid war!"

"Ask yourself something."

"On a mountain, there are two old tigers, how would you stop them from fighting?"

'I know this answer!' Shisui seemed eager to respond.

Fugaku thought for a while and said: "If the two tigers have similar strength, it would be better if there is a third enemy that forces them not to start an internal war."

"Wrong!" Funan flatly rejected it.

"Huh?" Shisui was startled. 'Is this answer not correct? Isn't that how you explained it to me before, Funan?

Funan chuckled and said: "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, unless there is one male and one female!"

Everyone was startled, and then...

Fugaku: "Get out!"

Soji: "Get out!"

Shisui: "Get out!"

Itachi was about to speak when Funan glanced at him and quickly lowered his head. In an instant, he directly picked up the chair.

"Okay, okay, just kidding, why don't you have any humor at all? Does it really bother you that much? It was just a bad joke, was that really worth getting angry about?" Funan waved his hands repeatedly.

Fugaku rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Funan, be more serious!"

Your joke is in bad taste but full of provocation. Didn't you see that each of them was tense? They are discussing about the Uchiha and the village, whether or not there will be a war. This is a serious problem, so save your bad jokes. Or else they will really hit you!

Shisui glanced at Fugaku with sympathy in his eyes. This sentence has been said by him before, and he is very clear about the helplessness when he said it.

"If you keep bothering me, I'll hit you, brat!" Uchiha Setsuna said this very proudly.

The old man has been very happy these two days.

Although his grandson is the deputy leader, he has taken charge of the power of Uchiha, and the Konoha Police Force is also firmly in his hands. This is equivalent to the victory of the hawks.

Furthermore, the changes that Funan brought to the Uchiha clan had disturbed many people. Setsuna was secretly enjoying this. Especially after the confrontations with the Hokage faction, where Funan emerged victorious. This made Setsuna even more happy.

After Uchiha Madara left, as his follower, Uchiha Setsuna did not remain silent. He continued Uchiha Madara's style and attempted to gain the village by force.

In the end, Uchiha Setsuna was defeated by the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not kill him, but allowed him to continue to lead the Uchiha hawks. This is undoubtedly a great shame and humiliation for Setsuna.

He understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant. It's just that the Uchiha Hawks led by him are easier to deal with.

From the beginning to the end, the other party never took him into consideration!

Now there's a new player, Sarutobi Hiruzen, how do you feel? How much of the confidence you had back then is left?

Setsuna showed a sly smile.

Seeing this, Funan murmured in a low voice: "Old man, with that smile, you look like a movie villain. If someone sees you on the street, they will most likely slap you to death."

Setsuna rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to this grandson of his. "You talk like you're a saint. Back then, I too..."

Funan interrupted and muttered: "Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

[Bang!]

The veins on Setsuna's forehead began to pulse rapidly, and the table in front of him broke into pieces.

Fugaku and Soji almost laugh. That's his beloved grandson! A fierce backstab.

"Hmph!" Setsuna snorted coldly and said indifferently, "I really have to thank Sarutobi Hiruzen for showing mercy back then, otherwise a grandson like you would never have had the chance to be born."

This is also okay...

Soji is speechless.

"Ahem, Funan, I'm not talking about what you plan to do to the village." Fugaku brought the topic back and said: "My concern is whether the village will do something against us, the Uchiha clan."

The others nodded.

There are only about ten people here at the moment. All of them are the core members of the Uchiha clan.

Key members of the clan leader's faction, as well as the Hawk and Dove Factions, in addition to Shisui and Itachi, along with Funan and some of his subordinates.

These are all trustworthy Uchiha. It is these people who keep Uchiha running.

Facing these people, Funan did not hide anything and said bluntly: "No! There won't be any head-on conflicts in a short time. There may be some small tricks in the dark. This is unavoidable."

"Why?"

Funan curled his lips and said: "Only those with big fists have the right to speak. The Hokage faction does not have this strength now."

"What do you mean by this?" Fugaku hesitated: "Although our clan has become vigilant, there is a high probability that the Hokage faction does not trust the Hyuga clan. What about the other ninjas?"

There are hundreds of ninja clans, large and small, in Konoha. In recent years, civilian ninjas have gradually become more prominent.

Several years have passed since the Third Shinobi World War. Not only have other villages recovered to a certain extent, but so has Konoha.

Funan raised two fingers and said: "These past few days, I've eliminated twenty jonin of them. Twenty jonin, not even the village can produce that many jonin at once. They must have brought in some ANBU."

Root is a branch of Konohagakure's ANBU training subdivision. After Sarutobi Hiruzen became Hokage, he was handed over to Danzo.

Because Sarutobi Hiruzen had just become Hokage and had a weak foundation, he acquiesced to the expansion and darkness of his Roots.

It can be said that Danzo played a crucial role in Sarutobi Hiruzen establishing himself as Hokage.

But...

As one of the most manipulative and oldest people in the ninja world, Sarutobi Hiruzen could not allow Root to expand without restrictions. Therefore, Root's power is very strong, but it was limited to a certain range.

If Danzo could pull out twenty special jonin and jonin from the Root at once, he would have reached heaven long ago. Even the Hokage would have trouble sleeping at night.

"What?" Fugaku and the others stood up in shock.

Setsuna stammered: "You said you killed twenty jonin this time?"

"Don't talk nonsense! People will misunderstand that I am too cruel." Funan glared at Setsuna and explained seriously: "I only killed fourteen ninjas this time, including a few special jonin."

 "Fuck you! When has it been? Are you still pretending?"

The place was in an uproar. In the small conference room, the Uchihas were in chaos.

Some people had witnessed the Susanoo's manifestation, while others had heard from word of mouth how their vice clan leader had demonstrated his power by turning enemies into pulp, but no one knew who the opponents were or how many they were.

They thought Funan was making such a big noise just to scare the Hokage and the others. Who knew that the enemy was also so powerful.

Setsuna couldn't hold it back on the spot. He turned to look at Fugaku and said: "Can you do it too?"

Fugaku: "..."

What are you implying, old man?

"Ahem!" Setsuna coughed dryly and said: "Don't look at me like that, Fugaku. I was just asking if the Susanoo is that powerful."

"Hmph!" Fugaku snorted coldly, looked at Funan solemnly, and said: "The Susanoo, a forbidden dojutsu, a technique so powerful in both attack and defense. I have only used it once, although it is powerful, but..."

Setsuna immediately said: "In other words, you can't do it?"

Fugaku: "Puhaa... Stubborn old man, I've been putting up with you for a long time."

"If you want to praise your grandson, do it, why try to put me down? Because I once suppressed you? Is today the day of your revenge?"
