After hearing Funan's explanation, Kurenai couldn't be sure, but she was beginning to suspect.
For a moment, she even hoped that Funan was lying. Because Kurenai understood how much her father respected the Will of Fire.
But there is one point that cannot be ignored and that is Sarutobi Hiruzen. That night, his performance was pitiful.
He hit the Nine-Tails out of the village with a stick, which looked very impressive. Apart from that, did he fight?
After dealing with the mysterious man, the Fourth Hokage rushed to the battlefield and used a forbidden technique without hesitation, sealing the Nine-Tails with his life.
What about the Third Hokage?
What about the Elders?
What about the Will of Fire?
Kurenai grabbed the wine irritably and drank it crazily.
…
A new rumor began to circulate.
About a ninjutsu.
Telescope Technique!
And Sarutobi Hiruzen possessed said technique.
It was said that even from his office, Sarutobi Hiruzen could see anything he wanted to see with this technique.
Anything!
After hearing this, many shinobi fell into a strange silence. Especially the kunoichi.
What did it mean to see anything? What did that old pervert want to see?
Immediately, many shinobi began to protest. With this technique, they would no longer have any privacy.
Who doesn't have a secret?
Especially the kunoichi, their safety was in danger.
"Ah!" With a heavy sigh, a huge figure collapsed onto the desk.
The Hokage's desk creaked under his weight, and the young woman next to him watched with concern, fearing that the furniture would collapse at any moment.
"Acting Hokage..."
"Stop!" Torifu, still lying on the desk, raised a hand and said in a dull voice: "Don't ask me, first tell me, where is Tsunade? They found her?"
"No." Kazu said cautiously: "She seems to have discovered that we are looking for her and deliberately avoided us."
Torifu sighed weakly.
"Tsunade, they offered you to be Hokage and you didn't accept. Are you human? Look at Konoha now, everyone is fighting to be Hokage, and you, who have the opportunity, despise it. "You don't know how lucky you are!"
Kazu looked at Torifu, not knowing what to say. Thinking about what her uncle Shikaku was doing in secret, Kazu felt great sympathy for Torifu.
Wanting to find Tsunade to give up being Hokage? That could only happen in dreams.
"Tell me, what did you mean before? Is it about the telescope technique?"
"Yes!" Kazu said cautiously: "Some Jonin have openly expressed their dislike of the telescope technique."
Torifu said expressionlessly: "Find Sarutobi Hiruzen."
"Yes!"
...
Hiruzen, who received the news, frowned.
He was puzzled. The telescope technique, even Danzo, had only heard about it before. Who knew about it and spread the news? He stared at Danzo with a suspicious look.
"Don't look at me, it has nothing to do with me!" Danzo shook his head quickly and said: "I just found out a few hours ago, and I haven't separated from you until now."
Hiruzen asked puzzledly: "Then why did the information about this ninjutsu spread?"
"How should I know!" Danzo spread his hands and said: "You should think about your reputation?"
The rumor that Hiruzen was a pervert had circulated in Konoha for a long time, but no one had taken it seriously until now. Now, it was like a volcano erupting.
"Hmph!" Hiruzen's face darkened, snorted coldly, and said: "Could it be Uchiha Funan again?"
Danzo was stunned and said: "He even knows this?"
"Hmph, don't underestimate that Uchiha kid!"
[Knock! Knock! Knock!]
A series of knocks sounded on the door.
Two people who had disappeared for a long time appeared in Sarutobi Hiruzen's office.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura!
However, upon seeing Hiruzen, Koharu instinctively adjusted her clothes.
The veins on Hiruzen's forehead were throbbing. "What's the matter?"
"Telescope Technique!"
"I know!" Hiruzen waved his hand and said impatiently: "Others don't know, but you don't know? How important is this technique to us? As long as we have this technique, we can monitor Uchiha at any time."
A single sentence left Koharu and Homura speechless.
"What do we do with Torifu?"
"Let's go talk to him together." Hiruzen said coldly: "This technique must not be sealed!"
The Konoha Corrupt Quartet gathered again and headed towards the Hokage's office. They advanced with a great presence. With a firm and determined step!
The door to the Hokage's office opened.
Hiruzen walked in first: "Torifu... Ugh!" The words stuck in his throat.
Torifu raised his head slowly, looking at Hiruzen and the others. His fat face was covered with tears.
"Hiruzen!" Torifu shouted, his voice full of grievances. "Waah!" The old fat man burst into tears.
The Konoha Corrupt Quartet trembled in unison.
Torifu stood up suddenly, took a step forward, and hugged Hiruzen in his arms. Torifu cried sadly: "Hiruzen, I am very wronged! Why did I want to be acting Hokage? Why am I such a masochist? Woooo!"
"Wait, wait, Torifu, don't... don't do it..." Hiruzen was struggling with all his might in Torifu's arms. However, the opponent was too strong.
Everyone in the Akimichi clan was like mountains of meat. And Akimichi Torifu was one of the most prominent, a mountain of meat among mountains of meat.
Hiruzen, in comparison, was small and thin. Torifu's arm was arguably thicker than Hiruzen's waist.
The scene was too much for anyone. Even Danzo couldn't help but back away a little. At the same time, he felt dissatisfied. What image did they give?
Torifu ignored Hiruzen and continued crying.
The old fat man has been really wronged recently.
He had agreed to be acting Hokage, thinking he could do something big.
Besides, what is an acting Hokage? He wants to be a real Hokage! He has a lot of ambitions.
But reality had dealt him a resounding blow. He had overestimated his ability to withstand pressure.
The relationship between the Uchiha and the Sarutobi clans is really fucked up. The two sides are always ready to go to war.
So, Akimichi Torifu's miserable days began.
Every day, he tried to keep the peace between both parties, fearing that this bomb would explode. This feeling was sour!
But these two clans were restless and from time to time it occurred to them to cause some trouble.
Torifu felt like his head was going to explode.
"Waaah!"
"What injustice!"
"Hiruzen, you have also been a Hokage, can you understand the pain in my heart?"
Hiruzen was so embarrassed that he almost went crazy. Hiruzen was very disdainful of Torifu. 'It's only been a few days, and you can't hold on. Look at me, it's been decades. The strongest Hokage in history is not just an empty title!'
However, seeing a fat old man weighing several hundred kilos, crying and sniffling, Hiruzen became scared. It's so disgusting!
"Okay, Torifu, stop. What do we do with the Telescope Technique? Tell me and I'll do what you say."
Torifu raised his head, grabbed a piece of paper, and blew his nose loudly. "What else can be done? If the use of the Byakugan can be prohibited within the village, so can your Telescope Technique. Within the village, its use is not permitted."
"Okay!" Hiruzen agreed feebly.
"Hiruzen!" Danzo growled. He doesn't care about the Telescope Technique, but he does care about Hiruzen's attitude of surrender.
Hiruzen silently slowly raised his hand. He had a sticky liquid on his hand. Torifu's snot.
Danzo shut up instantly and didn't dare to say anything.
"Hiruzen..." Torifu looked like he was going to cry.
"That's enough!" Hiruzen retorted, irritated. "Torifu, I've already promised you, why don't you let me go? Do you really want to continue?"
"Okay!" Torifu was a little reluctant. After winning the first battle, he wanted to continue to pursue the victory and get more benefits. But seeing how things were, it seemed unlikely.
"Hiruzen, explain the telescope technique. Many people are interested in it."
"Okay." Hiruzen agreed readily.
"The Telescope Technique is not as powerful as they think. When they enter a room, I can no longer see them. I can only use it if there are no obstacles."
Hiruzen spread his hands and said: "So, you don't have to be so nervous."
Torifu still shook his head and said: "This technique must be sealed, just like the Byakugan, it cannot be used in the village. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Akimichi Tofu muttered in his mind, do you really think I don't know anything? Fuck, there are so many open-air hot springs in Konoha. Damn, as your former companion, I know you too well.
Thinking about how this old man had enjoyed life, Torifu felt even more unhappy.
Oh yes, the outdoor hot springs...
If the owners find out, will they ask for compensation?
They must!
Torifu's eyes shone with greed.
The Konoha Corrupt Quartet left the Hokage's office, and when compared to their entrance...
They had planned to fight hard but were defeated by the snot of a fat old man.
Hiruzen said with emotion: "In Konoha, I suddenly feel like a stranger. It's like we don't belong here anymore."
"We've gotten old, monkey."
"Yeah... um... ugh!" Hiruzen was about to nod, but suddenly his body froze, and he turned his head to look at the person who was speaking.
Danzo and the others also turned their heads in unison.
Uchiha Funan!
He was there, with a wistful expression on his face.
