Chapter 67: Konoha Needs to Beg Us

"Okay, I'll tell you a little bit about what I think!" Funan placed the tea cup on the table. His expression changed and his aura became extremely sharp.

The Uchiha Jonin became excited.

This is their leader!

Although he is usually not serious, he is absolutely reliable and worthy of all of them dying for.

"It is almost the consensus of the entire Konoha that Uchiha will not be the Hokage!" Funan shouted coldly. "I just want to ask, why?"

"Why can't Uchiha become the Hokage?"

"Because we are strong?"

"Because they think we're dangerous?"

"Because they think our Uchiha's personality is extreme?"

"Shit!"

Funan shouted firmly: "Each shinobi clan in the village has its own problems."

"Let's take the Sarutobi clan. Decades ago it was a small, insignificant shinobi clan. If the Second Hokage hadn't advocated supporting civilian shinobi, what would become of them?"

"Nowadays, they have become thousands, more than three thousand shinobi, this is what makes Hiruzen the great Third Hokage?"

These words surprised the Uchiha Jonin, even Fugaku's jaw almost dropped.

"Wait, wait a minute!" Setsuna directly interrupted Funan. The old man's eyes almost popped out of his head. "You said there are more than three thousand shinobi in the Sarutobi clan?"

"Yes!" Funan said decisively. "In terms of the number of shinobi alone, the Uchiha and Senju at their peak combined cannot compare to the Sarutobi clan."

"How is that possible?" Setsuna sat on the chair absentmindedly.

"How is it impossible!" Funan sneered and said: "Hiruzen has been Hokage for decades, constantly sucking blood from the village to replenish it for the Sarutobi clan, and the Sarutobi clan has always held a key position in the village."

"The biggest problem is that they have never been to the battlefield and have rarely shed blood. Is it difficult to raise thousands of pigs after decades?"

The Uchiha were all speechless.

"Oh, by the way, you don't know." Funan said with a smile. "But there are many things in Konoha that you don't know!"

At the last sentence, Funan's voice suddenly rose.

The expressions of the Uchihas at this moment were extremely ugly, as if someone had poured cold water on them. No matter how arrogant they are, they can't ignore one thing...the Uchiha clan is small in number. The total number of all shinobi does not exceed a thousand!

The number of enemies suddenly increased by three thousand. No matter how proud they were, they would feel tremendous pressure.

What's more, they are not stupid. They all thought that the Sarutobi clan has more than three thousand shinobi, but what about the Shimura clan? What about the Utatane clan? And the Mitokado clan?

Even if the other three clans are not as strong, couldn't they gather one or two thousand shinobi?

Funan said nothing and continued to drink tea. At the same time, he silently observed the expressions of the Uchihas. When he noticed that the Uchihas were gradually returning to calm, he couldn't help but smile.

Too arrogant for their own good!

Facing all enemies calmly and confidently, this kind of calmness was the Uchiha he wanted.

After a while, the Uchiha gradually recovered.

"Okay, Funan, now can you tell me why Uchiha can't be Hokage." Fugaku looked at the Uchiha, and after confirming their status, he said in a deep voice to Funan.

[Bang!]

Funan slapped the table hard. With a bang, the table shattered.

The loud sound startled the Uchihas who were still a little confused and trembled all over.

Including Fugaku, who almost performed a Fire Release from shock. He glared at Funan fiercely. 'What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you breaking the table like that?!'

"Why?"

"Why else?"

Funan said angrily: "The whole of Konoha is rejecting Uchiha. They don't want Uchiha to be Hokage. This is the reason."

"What kind of reason is this?" Fugaku said dissatisfied. "Is it possible that I, Uchiha, am still afraid of them?"

"Of course not!" Funan looked at the Uchiha and said: "But are they willing to accept it?"

"Anyway, I'm very unhappy!"

Funan said coldly: "How much contribution has Uchiha made to Konoha?"

"How many sacrifices have been made?"

"We are one of the oldest families in the shinobi world. The establishment of Konoha has us as the core. Now, those bastards have grown up and are excluding us."

"Why!?"

"Who do they think they are?"

"In comparison of strength and heritage, how are they better than us?"

The Uchiha's eyes turned red again.

Seeing that the atmosphere calmed down, Funan stood up suddenly and shouted: "So, I have made a decision, Uchiha, will never take the initiative to fight for the position of Hokage."

Everyone looked at Funan, waiting for the rest of his words.

"I want everyone in Konoha to beg the Uchiha to accept the position of Hokage!"

The Uchiha couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes!" Funan said loudly. "When we are strong enough."

"When we can despise everything!"

"Even if we put the Hokage's position in front of them, would they dare to sit down?"

"Does a genin dare to sit in the king's position and give orders while being watched by a group of Jonin?"

"My clanmates, work hard to increase your strength and obey my call!"

Funan said loudly: "When the opportunity is right, I will let you see what the true glory of Uchiha is!"

"We don't want to fight for it, we want them to take the initiative to come to us and beg us to sit on the position of Hokage!"

Shirayu stood up immediately and said: "Minister, do you want the Uchiha to be above Konoha?"

"That's how it is." Funan said loudly: "Uchiha, do you have the confidence to do it?"

"Long live the Minister!"

"Minister..."

The Uchiha were completely crazy.

The clan meeting ended and the Uchiha returned to their normal state.

Of course, the secret rumors have not stopped.

After Hiruzen publicly apologized and expressed his intention to abdicate, the village was briefly quiet for a while, and then the discussion resumed.

The villagers were shocked when Hiruzen announced his retirement as Hokage, but once they recovered from the shock, they continued talking, although not with as much emotion.

Under the guidance of Funan, several new versions of the rumors appeared.

"Uchiha Kagami was killed by Danzo. He was one of the best disciples of the second generation."

"Why was Akimichi Torifu forced to retire? After he returned to Konoha, he was only in his early thirties, which was the peak period of a shinobi!"

"Hatake Sakumo was forced to die by Danzo. He was the best candidate for the position of the Fourth Hokage, but he died like this?"

"There is also Orochimaru. It is said that he betrayed Konoha because of Danzo's frame-up."

"When the Fourth Hokage died in battle, where was Danzo? Wasn't he the Hokage's advisor? His strength couldn't be bad, right?"

"By the way, there are also Elders Koharu and Homura, because they didn't appear during the battle."

"Also, where were the elders Koharu and Homura during the Third Shinobi World War? It seems that they did not appear on the battlefield."

"How come they didn't appear during the war but are so arrogant in peacetime?"

"There is also the Third Hokage. Why haven't I seen him on the battlefield? Isn't he the strongest Hokage?"

"Does the Hokage need to be in charge of the overall situation?"

"Shit, all the Kages from other villages have appeared on the battlefield. It is said that the Tsuchikage is older than the Third Hokage. Isn't he still going to the battlefield?"

A new round of rumors has begun.

This left Danzo and the others vomiting blood.

Especially Danzo. Shit, as long as there's someone famous in Konoha, they've been wronged by him in one way or another.

Danzo doesn't know if it's an illusion, but he feels that the people around him look at him differently.

He also noticed that Koharu and Homura were looking at him with a slightly unpleasant smile on their faces.

What's the meaning?

Danzo glared at them.

To his surprise, Homura turned around and quickly left, while Koharu looked like she was about to faint.

"What are you two doing?" Danzo looked unhappy.

"No, nothing at all." Koharu looked nervously and tried to smile. Damn, if it weren't for these rumors, they wouldn't have known that Danzo had done so many things.

Now the two of them are also scared, lest Danzo one day doesn't like the two of them and kills them casually. Didn't you see that Hiruzen looked wrong when he looked at Danzo today?
