Seeing Funan and the ANBU walking away, Itachi and Shirayu looked at each other and then began to act separately.
Itachi went to the place where Funan would have the meeting. Now Hiruzen trusts him deeply and can enter and leave many places freely. By going to where Funan is, he would be ready to intervene if things turn ugly.
Stabbing Hiruzen in the back, this has always been Itachi's wish.
He figured it would be pretty exciting.
Itachi once expressed this idea to Funan, and Funan said something that made Itachi autistic on the spot…
It's not that Itachi and Shirayu are too nervous, but this is the Nine-Tails- This situation can get on some people's last nerve and drive them crazy. Once the other party loses his mind and attacks Funan...
For the current Uchiha, Funan must not get into trouble!
…
At this moment, a fierce confrontation is taking place in the Hokage's office.
In just three days, how many meetings were held, Torifu himself forgot.
He didn't know what the others thought, but he really wanted to get rid of this shitty acting Hokage position.
This is not what a human would do.
Although he hasn't weighed himself, Torifu is sure he has lost weight. His body feels lighter.
"Torifu!" Danzo said angrily. "Everyone knows that Uzumaki Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"In any village, Jinchuriki is the top priority!"
"Funan, such a dangerous person, actually dared to approach him secretly. As the acting Hokage, you must severely punish Uchiha, and you must not let Uchiha Funan go!"
Torifu glanced at this guy who didn't remember being beaten.
"That's enough!" Watching the Konoha Corrupt Quartet's chatter, Torifu said impatiently: "We don't know what's going on. Let's wait until Funan arrives."
"Hehe!" As soon as Danzo sneered, he received Torifu's unfriendly gaze.
"You try to taunt me again and I'll crush you with one punch!"
"Torifu!" Danzo said angrily. "Have you forgotten what the teacher said back then?"
Torifu said indifferently, "The teacher did say that the power of Uchiha is dangerous, but he never said he would deal with Uchiha. Don't distort the teacher's will here."
"You..." Danzo said coldly: "Akimichi Torifu, just play dumb. You will regret it one day."
Torifu's face darkened. "If you dare to talk nonsense again, do you believe I will make you regret it now?!"
"You dare!" Danzo shouted angrily. "Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
"I really think so."
The two of them faced each other coldly.
"Stop, you two, what are you trying to do?"
"Acting Hokage, please remain calm."
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Nara Shikaku hurried forward to stop the two.
Still, Torifu and Danzo continued to stare at each other coldly, the tension in the air palpable. Both of them were furious and wanted to vent their anger.
[Bang!]
At this moment, the office door was kicked in making a loud noise.
The sudden noise startled the two people in the confrontation.
Instinctively, Torifu begins to form seals while Danzo grabs his arm trying to remove the seal.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
Hiruzen controlled Danzo, and Shikaku stopped Torifu, narrowly avoiding a big battle.
Everyone turned their cold gazes towards the person who kicked in the door.
Uchiha Funan!
He was muttering in dissatisfaction: "Are you going to fight or not? I am so anxious waiting."
Everyone feels their temples pounding.
Shikaku was angry and shouted: "Funan, why did you kick the door? Do you know how dangerous it was just now?"
Funan said lazily: "At most, we will fight. Don't worry, I am here and will not let your fat man suffer!"
Funan patted his chest and took the responsibility.
"Get out!" Shikaku could not help but roar.
Funan said aggrievedly: "Shikaku, you are so mean to me, I don't like you anymore."
"Okay, okay!" Torifu waved his hand with a headache and said: "Since everyone is here, let's start!"
After Funan sat down, he looked around and asked curiously: "Isn't my Fugaku here?"
The faces of several people became even uglier.
Hiruzen rubbed his brows. He was old and he really felt very tired and didn't have enough energy.
"What? He won't come?" Funan said dissatisfiedly: "This guy is too irresponsible. He let me go into the wolf's den alone. If a fight breaks out, I will fight so many alone. What should I do if I suffer a loss?"
He looked at Koharu with fear.
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."
Shimura Danzo: "..."
Akimichi Torifu: "..."
Utatane Koharu: "..."
"Okay, let's talk business!" Torifu's tone when addressing Funan sounded apathetic.
"Report!" Funan raised his hand, stood up, and said seriously: "Acting Hokage, I have a matter to report."
Torifu's fat body was trembling. He was silent for a while, adjusted his breathing, controlled his heart, and said steadily: "You say!"
The Konoha Corrupt Quartet and Shikaku also seemed to be facing a big enemy, looking at Funan nervously.
Funan turned his head and looked at Danzo with a sharp gaze, saying: "I want to sue Shimura Danzo. He actually approached the most important weapon of Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto, without permission."
"Everyone knows that Uzumaki Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"In any village, Jinchuriki is the top priority!"
"Danzo, such a dangerous person, actually dared to approach him secretly. The Acting Hokage must severely punish this person and check who is behind him. How dare they support him to make such a dangerous move!"
The entire Hokage office was silent.
Torifu said helplessly: "Funan, why did you eavesdrop on us?"
"What?" Funan was stunned and said: "When did I eavesdrop on you?"
Funan said dissatisfiedly: "Who do you look down on? I would spy on you secretly? Is it necessary?"
"Also, there were two ANBU following me just now. We came together. At most, I heard you shout that one was easy to bully and the other wanted to try."
"In the end, I didn't see you fight, I was so anxious waiting."
There was another silence in the Hokage's office.
"Did you really just arrive?"
"Absolutely!"
"Ahem!" Torifu coughed dryly and said: "Funan, speaking of the Nine-Tails, I heard that you met the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki a few days ago, and it seems that you used the Sharingan?"
"Yes!" Funan admitted it very straightforwardly. When Danzo just got excited, he pointed at him and shouted: "It's all because of Danzo?"
"Because of me?" Danzo glared with his one eye.
"Yes, it's because of Danzo!" Funan said angrily. "I found that there was a problem with the seal on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at that time, so I used the Sharingan to help reinforce it."
"There was a problem with the seal?" Shikaku asked hurriedly. "Are you sure? There was a problem at that time?"
"Of course, I guarantee it in the name of the Six Paths Sage!"
Several people in the office looked at each other and saw the doubts in each other's eyes.
Even Hiruzen, looking at Danzo, had a different expression.
Immediately, everyone stared at Danzo with doubtful eyes.
Danzo was furious.
After a brief silence, Torifu said: "The seal in the body of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is still problematic. A lot of the Nine-Tails' power is leaking out, which means that the seal is being destroyed."
"Damn it!" Funan looked at Danzo angrily and shouted: "You bastard, what on earth did you do? Did you want to release the Nine-Tails? Have you forgotten the Night of the Nine-Tails?"
'Me again?' Danzo's eyes were wet.
Nine-tail Night!
When this was mentioned, the expressions of the people present changed even more.
No matter who it was, they didn't want such a thing to happen again.
This time there was no second pair of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Funan with a strange look. 'If the Nine-tail Night really happened, could he find a way to let Funan sacrifice himself?'
If Uchiha lost Funan, the difficulty of attacking would be greatly reduced.
Funan caught Hiruzen's gaze and sighed. "If the Night of the Nine Tails happens again, this time, the Third Hokage will probably have to be sacrificed. After all, he is the steadfast wielder of the Will of Fire!"
"He is old, and there seems to be no other use except sacrificing him."
Hiruzen's face darkened and he kept silent.
"What?" Funan said in surprise: "Did I say something wrong? You..."
"Okay!" Torifu stopped Funan's attack and said: "Either way, we can't let the Night of the Nine-Tails happen again. It's a shame for Minato and Kushina."
It can be said that it was the death of Minato that caused Konoha to fall into weakness. Kumogakure dared to force the younger brother of the Hyuga clan leader to death.
"If Konoha now experiences the Night of the Nine-Tails again, whether it will still exist is a question." Torifu looked at Danzo with a sharp look.
Danzo couldn't help it and said angrily: "Why are you all looking at me? I didn't do anything to the Jinchūriki."
"Who knows!" Funan pouted.
"Uchiha Funan!" Danzo's sinister voice sounded: "You probably don't know yet? The seal of the Nine-Tails has been cracked to a greater extent than you think."
Funan blinked, with a bad feeling in his heart.
"So..."
