Chapter 105: A Fragile Peace in Konoha

"Take this letter to Konoha, find someone named Uchiha Shisui, and complete this mission with him." Funan whispered in Kakuzu's ear.

The more he listened, the brighter Kakuzu's eyes shone. Finally, he excitedly exclaimed: "Are you serious?"

"Of course!"

"Do you think I would joke about something like this?"

"I'll go right away!" Kakuzu carried the body on his back, took Hidan with him, turned around and left.

 "I…" Hidan was so angry that he cursed. He simply has no freedom at all. He had to do everything he was told.

But he couldn't defeat Kakuzu. Much less could he beat Funan.

After both of them left, a figure slowly approached Funan.

The person grunted slightly. "What do you want?"

Funan smiled and said: "I want to collaborate with the person behind you."

"Collaborate with us?" The man was very surprised and said: "You don't know we are..."

"Of course I know, that's why I want to cooperate." Funan chuckled and said: "Doesn't your boss have any enemies he wants me to help him eliminate?"

The person remained silent. After a while, she nodded slowly. "As you wish."

"But how do you want to collaborate, Uchiha?"

...

Konoha.

Hiruzen sent a battle report to Torifu, and said calmly: "Look at this, Uchiha Funan has already achieved two great victories."

"His speed is impressive. It may not be long before he forces the Kumogakure to retreat." His words did not express much joy.

Torifu looked at the report without moving. He has already read this battle report.

As the acting Hokage of Konoha, he was the first person to see this battle report.

To be honest, he was also shocked by Funan's results.

"Torifu, do you still want to let Uchiha go?" Hiruzen's voice sounded grave.

Torifu sneered and said: "You mean Uchiha Funan should lose?"

Hiruzen smoked a cigarette and said nothing. 'Lose? Of course I didn't want to!'

However, Uchiha Funan's strength made him uncomfortable.

[Thump! Thump! Thump!]

While they were talking, they both heard a sound that made them feel chills.

Especially Hiruzen, his hands were trembling. If it weren't for Danzo, why would they be like this!

Sure enough!

With a special rhythm, Danzo Shimura appears!

"Torifu, we must not let Uchiha Funan go on like this!"

Torifu rolled his eyes and said: "He's fighting on the front lines, do you really think this is the right thing to do?"

"Don't talk childish nonsense. With the Uchiha, there is no time to waste." Danzo's sinister voice echoed: "Uchiha is Uchiha, Torifu, do you really want an Uchiha to compete for the position of Hokage?"

Torifu's face turned gloomy. That was precisely what worried him.

The Uchiha wanting to be Hokage was something he couldn't allow.

Konoha couldn't have an Uchiha Hokage.

Take the Senju as an example.

After Senju Hashirama became the first Hokage, his younger brother took the opportunity to become the second Hokage.

After that, if Senju Tobirama hadn't destroyed the Senju clan, would the third Hokage be Sarutobi Hiruzen?

If Nawaki hadn't died, he surely would have been Hokage, it was just a matter of which generation.

The fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, became a puppet when he rose to power. They all knew what Sarutobi Hiruzen had in mind.

He just wanted someone from the Sarutobi clan to become the true Hokage.

The Fifth Hokage!

It's a pity that the Sarutobi clan has a weak foundation and Uchiha disrupted the situation, so they failed.

The Uchiha are different. They have a long heritage and are powerful. If an Uchiha really becomes Hokage, how many generations will it last?

That couldn't happen!

"What are you thinking to do?" Torifu looked up at Danzo.

To cause trouble, you had to look for Danzo. The darkness of the shinobi only served for this.

"However, I warn you, there can be no problems on the front line!"

His first battle as Acting Hokage had to be a resounding victory.

He had mobilized so many people and unleashed such a huge war that if he failed, he would have to abandon his position as acting Hokage.

"Don't worry!" Danzo smiled.

The corners of Torifu and Hiruzen's lips twitched imperceptibly.

Danzo leaned over and whispered a few words.

Hiruzen and Torifu looked at each other.

"Is this okay?"

"Why not?" Danzo said calmly: "If the village is in danger, the Uchiha must act. Of course, to avoid being blamed, we have to help."

"It has to be you!" Torifu corrected Danzo's words. 'Don't try to drag me to your side.'

"It's okay, it'll just be us." Danzo looked at Hiruzen and said: "How about sending out a thousand shinobi?"

Hiruzen's face twitched. Look, how easy it is to say that.

Damn! A thousand shinobi and you still think it's not enough? Have you considered the impact it will have?

Our four clans have already sent many shinobi, and now another thousand, what will the others think?

Hiruzen sighed feebly and nodded in agreement. However, he did not view it as lightly as Danzo. He understood that Konoha was going to enter a turbulent period again. He knew Uchiha Funan's temperament. After finding out, would he stay calm?

...

Territory of the Uchiha clan.

The meeting convened by Fugaku officially began.

Uchiha Fugaku threw the documents heavily on the table and sneered: "As soon as Funan left, these people became restless."

The senior Uchiha officials, after taking turns to read the information, all sneered.

"Sunagakure!"

"It's actually Sunagakure!"

Setsuna sneered: "I thought about any enemies, but I never considered that they would have ties to Sunagakure."

What did the documents say?

Sunagakure was amassing forces on the border. In response, Hiruzen would lead three thousand shinobi towards the border to deter Sunagakure.

The documents demanded that the Uchiha send two hundred shinobi.

The messengers hinted that the four clans led by Sarutobi would send a thousand shinobi.

In this regard, everyone in Uchiha expressed their disapproval.

"It's the same as Funan thought!"

Uchiha Soji sneered and said: "They really took action after Funan left."

As soon as Funan gained the advantage at the front, Hiruzen and his group could not contain themselves.

Damn it!

Moreover, the opponent is Sunagakure!

Those present made a bold guess: Hiruzen and Sunagakure were colluding.

"Then what should we do now?"

Everyone fell into deep thought.

"We send troops!" A voice suddenly joined in.

"Um?"

Everyone was startled, raised their heads in surprise, and looked at the speaker in astonishment.

Uchiha Shisui!

Everyone's impression of Shisui is not very good.

"Send troops?" Fugaku said calmly: "Maybe the more we send, the more we will lose."

"Yes!" Shisui nodded firmly and said: "So, we have to send more people."

"Send more people?"

Everyone was stunned, but soon they understood and were surprised.

The purpose of Hiruzen and others is to bite Uchiha and weaken their power.

But if the bait is big enough, so big that Hiruzen and his group don't dare to attack, would they dare to do something?

Itachi expressed his doubts. "And what about the clan?"

Shisui's words were a little indifferent. "There are already many children outside the clan, aren't there? If they attack the ones left, then when we return, we will naturally avenge them."

Everyone looked at Shisui stunned.

Is this Shisui?

Damn it!

"Instead of gawking, you should think carefully about my proposal."

Shisui didn't care about everyone's surprise, his expression was extremely calm.

Fugaku asked tentatively: "How many people do you think we should send to collaborate?"

"For the sake of Konoha..." Shisui said solemnly: "I think the entire clan should mobilize. Anyone who can fight should be sent, even children!"

Shisui showed a sinister smile and added: "After all, the Third Hokage sent children as young as a few years old to the battlefield during the great shinobi wars, right?"

Everyone looked at each other again.

It seems to work!

But, isn't this Shisui's change a bit big?

...

When the Uchiha sent the proposal to the Hokage's office, Hiruzen let out a rare roar of fury.

If the current owner of the Hokage's office wasn't Torifu, Hiruzen would have trashed the entire office.

Hiruzen's expression was cold, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and there was a hint of ferocity.

Torifu also fell silent. He was a little dumbfounded.

From Uchiha's report, he could detect that Uchiha's mood fluctuated greatly.

They are like a crazy beast. If you dare to tease them, they will pounce on you and bite you.

If he had known that this would be the case, Torifu would not have dared to provoke Uchiha.

Now that the situation was already underway, there was no room for hesitation.

"What should we do now?" Torifu said with a gloomy face. "The Uchiha have given you a direct blow. They have brought all the children to the battlefield, and the number has reached more than 700 people."

There are more than seven hundred Uchiha shinobi, most of them are Chunin, and there are more than ten Jonin!

It makes people feel chilly just listening to it.

"What else can we do?" Hiruzen said coldly: "Since they are willing to do this, let's help them and deal with it together."

"And what about Uchiha Funan? He still has many Uchiha under his command!" Torifu interrupted angrily. "Do you want to lead Konoha to destruction? I warn you, if you plan to do that, do it alone, but don't drag the entire village down with you."

Hiruzen had a gloomy expression and stopped talking.

Danzo and Shikaku looked at the information coming from Uchiha and were speechless for a while.

After a while, Shikaku suddenly said: "Could it be that the Uchiha are thinking of leaving Konoha?"

"Impossible!"

They all opposed it simultaneously.

Danzo said coldly: "Uchiha, they can only be Konoha's shinobi for the rest of their lives, unless they are all dead."

As enemies of Uchiha, they know very well how powerful Uchiha is. Once such a person becomes an enemy, it is really terrifying.

"Then now..."

"Argh!"

At this moment, a roar full of madness sounded.

Everyone in the Hokage's office was stunned.

"The Nine Tails!!!" Shikaku shouted. "Didn't they say that the seal was perfected? How come the Nine-Tails has been released?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Torifu roared angrily and rushed out first.

Hiruzen hesitated for a moment, then rushed out.

Danzo looked disdainful and turned to leave.

He still needs to remain useful and lead Konoha to glory in the future. How can he fight against a beast like the Nine Tails?

When they arrived, Naruto had already entered in half tail form.

He just roared, and the huge sound wave blew away the surrounding shinobi.

"What's going on?" Torifu shouted angrily: "How could the Jinchuriki become like this? Has anyone come into contact with the Jinchuriki?"

"Yes!" A shinobi said with some uncertainty: "A person just came into contact with the Jinchuriki. Seems to be..."

"Who?"

"Orochimaru!"

"What?"
