[Swish!]
A figure appeared on the Konoha Hokage Rock.
Itachi looked down at the entire village quietly.
In the past, when he stood here, he would feel his blood boiling and his heart filled. For the peaceful and beautiful village below, he is willing to do anything, even if he is the enemy of his father, Uchiha Fugaku. He even had the idea of making Uchiha disappear completely like Senju.
However, Funan told him that since he decided not to be narrowly focused on one clan, why not open his eyes and look at the entire village, and even the entire Shinobi World.
From that moment on, Itachi felt that he had truly opened his Sharingan. He saw the real world! A completely different world than before.
The three tomoe slowly rotated, connected together, and turned into a Mangekyo Sharingan, staring at the village coldly.
The amazing pupil power of the Mangekyo Sharingan allowed him to clearly see the children running and playing in the village, the lovers looking at each other tenderly, the young people training hard, and the shinobis working hard for the mission.
Itachi's eyes were filled with complexity. Was this what was seen on the surface of Konoha or was there something else in the shadows?
The Sarutobi clan, like the Sarutobi district located in Konoha village, is full of nobility and pride.
The four ugly-looking senior officials greedily sucked the blood of the village. Their faces were filled with proud and ferocious smiles, and they kept talking about the will of fire.
...Those who do not have the will of fire are not worthy of being ninjas.
The ugly faces of those four individuals kept appearing in his mind. They screamed and roared constantly, crying out for the Will of Fire.
Itachi covered his eyes.
"As long as you are in power, Konoha will have no future!" He murmured to himself, somewhat confused as to what he was thinking at this moment.
Melancholia? Sadness?
"Why do I think so much?" Itachi sighed and said: "I don't have the ability to change this now, but Funan-aniki, let me see how hot your bloody flames can be."
[Swish!]
He disappeared from there. He went to complete Danzo's mission, a mission that Funan had expected. Watch over the Uchiha clan.
Danzo had never trusted Itachi. He didn't trust any Uchiha. No! Except in himself. He didn't trust anyone else.
Therefore, he will not let Itachi participate in his operation to kill Funan, unless only Itachi can perform this task.
Therefore, Danzo would surely give the order for an Uchiha to keep an eye on the Uchiha.
None of this matters!
Funan had only one purpose, to prevent Uchiha from participating in the siege against him, because he was worried that he would go crazy.
[Swish!]
Itachi appeared in front of Funan, watching him drink tea. Itachi spoke seriously: "Funan-aniki, everything is going according to your plan. Danzo ordered me to monitor other members of the Uchiha clan and I am no longer allowed to participate in the operation against you."
"Well!" Funan continued to sip the tea without raising his head and said: "The Uchiha keep an eye on each other. Also, he will send the Root to keep an eye on the Uchiha. That's Shimura Danzo, the eternal darkness of the Shinobi World. He trusts no one, but he longs to become Hokage... Haha."
Itachi ignored Funan's sarcasm and just frowned: "Are you still going to act alone? This time, Danzo will definitely send out a large number of elites. I have already told him that you are stronger than my father."
"I am already stronger than Clan Leader Fugaku. As for the elites, the more elites are dispatched, the better, because I am the highest elite!" Funan smiled slightly.
…
The next day, Funan didn't do anything special, he just wandered the streets.
The atmosphere in the village became even weirder.
The Uchiha not only wore strange smiles on their faces every day, but they also constantly muttered something under their breath. Watching this scene, many people were frightened, wondering what Uchiha was up to.
Funan was also surprised. He called a member of the Uchiha clan and, after asking, understood that although the Uchiha had received the ninjutsu of Funan, they lacked time to train. Therefore, while patrolling, they reflected on ninjutsu.
It's not that the Uchihas are really obsessed with power to this extent, but that they really don't have time. They usually patrol, which is essential. After the patrol, they still had to follow Funan's order to help the orphans and widows of Uchiha. They were also his people.
Their parents, husbands, wives, sons, and daughters died on the battlefield, or during missions, and the surviving Uchiha had to take care of them. In the past, due to various reasons, no help was given, but now it is different.
Funan provides money, ninjutsu, land and houses. In return he only asks the current Uchiha ninjas to put in a little effort and lend a hand to the other members of the clan. If with all those conditions they still don't do it, that doesn't make sense.
Uchiha has always been at the forefront of the battlefield or performing the most dangerous missions. There are many orphans, widows, or people with physical disabilities.
Now that 'poverty alleviation' has just begun, the Uchihas really can't find time to practice ninjutsu.
So, some smart people suggested that when patrolling, you should first think about and analyze ninjutsu. When practicing, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
After all, Funan had said not to sweat the small stuff, so they were following orders.
"Hehe!" Funan smiled.
This was what I wanted!
He saw with his own eyes that two people from Konoha were arguing, making loud noises, and even starting to fight, but the patrolling Uchiha just glanced at them and turned around to leave.
They didn't care!
Farther away, someone was yelling to catch the thief. The patrolling Uchiha turned around and walked in the other direction.
They still didn't care!
Funan smiled.
Excellent! This is how it should be!
Funan looked at the dissatisfied villagers, secretly sneered: 'Don't you think that Uchihas like to meddle in other people's business?'
Just like before, when the Uchiha caught a thief, the thief's family was very dissatisfied. They loudly reprimanded the Uchiha. Some older people would even kneel on the ground and cry loudly, as if they had been greatly wronged.
Then, a classic scene appeared.
Countless people began to criticize Uchiha, thinking that their law enforcement was harsh and inhumane.
The person who was stolen said that he did not want to pursue the case, and asked Uchiha to let him go with a cold expression.
Ultimately, the Uchiha were to blame.
Funan understood that someone was secretly manipulating everything. However, the villagers are not children who don't understand anything. Who is right and who is wrong, don't you understand?
Okay, if you don't understand, then we will follow your ideas!
Uchiha is the Uchiha of Konoha, and we respect the ideas of the villagers of Konoha!
After thinking for a while, Funan waved his hand and called an Uchiha, and whispered: "Find me some clansmen who are eloquent, preferably the kind who can convince the dead to come back to life."
"This…" The Uchiha was dumbfounded on the spot and asked subconsciously: "May they be like you?"
Funan looked at him expressionlessly and said: "Am I like that kind of person?"
"It's not like that!" The Uchiha replied without hesitation.
Then, he hesitated and said: "Are you asking me to find someone who is the opposite of you?"
What the hell!
Funan looked at this Uchiha for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "Find the ones that fit my standards. And you, boy, what's your name?"
The Uchiha chuckled and said, "Boss, the subordinate's name is Hyōmaru, Uchiha Hyōmaru!"
