When everyone calmed down, Funan suddenly stood up. In an instant, the atmosphere in the meeting room became tense.
They subconsciously looked at Fugaku, who was still sitting there, drinking tea with a calm expression.
"Don't be so nervous." Funan smiled at the people present and said: "Come on, everyone, smile."
"Uchiha Funan, what do you want to do?" Hiruzen looked at him calmly and said: "We're having a fair election for the position of Hokage, you're not trying to sabotage it, are you?"
"Fair?" Funan laughed.
Is this fair?
Apart from other things, many jonin who didn't have time to participate in the election gave most votes to Tsunade. Do you think there is no problem in this?
Funan was too lazy to say.
"I will not interrupt your fair vote." Funan smiled and said: "I'm only voting on behalf of the Uchiha."
"Oh!"
Many people looked puzzled.
At this point, does the Uchiha vote still have meaning?
Funan ignored them and said calmly: "Uchiha, vote..."
"Tsunade!"
"What?"
This time, everyone was even more surprised.
Tsunade was stunned.
There must be a problem!
Tsunade can figure it out with her toes. There must be a problem.
Tsunade is extremely sure.
Funan continued: "No one is more qualified than Tsunade to become Hokage!"
"Congratulations to Tsunade for becoming the fifth Hokage!"
"Everyone applaud!"
The scene was silent.
Hearing those words from the mouth of an Uchiha made them feel a kind of unreality.
Hiruzen was confused. He and Torifu looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Ahem!" Shikaku coughed dryly and said: "Funan, you… your attitude is admirable, you are a person of great vision."
Many people rolled their eyes.
"By the way!" Funan suddenly said: "Since there are so many people here today, I'm going to announce something."
Here it comes! Everyone woke up. They knew that things couldn't be that simple.
However, the vote had already been taken, so could Funan change their minds?
"As we all know..." Funan said with a smile. "Back then, Senju and Uchiha joined forces to create Konoha..."
"Many shinobi clans participated in it, not just Uchiha and Senju!" Hiruzen interrupted Funan.
Although he didn't know what Funan wanted to say, he always had a bad premonition in his heart. Therefore, he couldn't wait to interrupt Funan. He always felt that he couldn't let Funan continue.
Funan smiled slightly and said: "Indeed, many shinobi clans participated in it, such as Aburame, Ino-Shika-Cho... many, many, but no one can deny that the creation of Konoha was mainly based on Uchiha and Senju, right?"
Hiruzen smoked a cigarette and didn't speak.
This is indeed irrefutable.
Torifu frowned and said: "Funan, what do you want to say? Or what do you want to do?"
"Such a direct question?" Funan smiled slightly and said: "In that case, I will just say it directly."
"The Uchiha have made a decision!"
"From now on, the Uchiha will separate from Konoha and become independent."
The conference room fell into absolute silence.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and stared at Funan blankly.
"What… what did you say?!" Shikaku was the first to react, his voice became sharp, almost shouting.
The other jonin also changed their expressions drastically.
Funan smiled at everyone.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Hiruzen suddenly stood up and roared: "Uchiha, you want to betray Konoha, right?"
"If this is considered betrayal, then it is." Funan said lightly: "What are you going to do? Encircle Uchiha? Want to try?"
Suddenly, Funan's eyes showed the Mangekyo Sharingan.
The same was true for Fugaku, who exposed his Mangekyo in front of everyone for the first time. His eyes were cold, and his aura was extremely dangerous.
Almost everyone in Konoha knew that Funan had the Mangekyo, and only a few high-ranking people knew that Fugaku had the Mangekyo.
Seeing those unusual eyes, the jonin became even more agitated.
What made them even more angry was that Aburame Shibi walked slowly to Funan's side and looked at everyone calmly.
"Aburame Shibi, you..."
"The Aburame clan will follow the Uchiha clan and leave Konoha together." Shibi said in a calm and clear voice. "Back then, the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan jointly created Konoha. Now, the Uchiha clan feels that Konoha is no longer suitable for them and wants to leave. What reason do you have to stop them?"
"This is betrayal, this is betrayal!"
"We will never forgive them!" Hiruzen roared loudly. He was terrified.
Many jonin were the same.
"Betrayal?" Funan smiled and said: "Konoha was created by the Uchiha. The Uchiha at the time just thought that this place was suitable for their survival and development. Now, this place no longer belongs to us, so we naturally have to leave."
"So, don't get in the way. Let's just part on good terms."
"And maybe, another time, we'll stop by to visit them."
Funan waved his hand in a very free and easy manner.
Others were not relaxed.
Tsunade couldn't help but step forward and said in a deep voice: "Funan, do we have to go this far?"
"What do you think?" Funan smiled and said: "Tsunade, do you think that Konoha, the village we created, still has a place for us?"
"No!"
"We are here only to be targeted!"
"In that case, we should be more straightforward and conscious, and get out of here quickly!"
"Otherwise, what else can we do?"
"Armed coup?"
"How is that possible!"
Funan laughed and said: "Konoha is like the child of Uchiha. We will leave, but we will never hurt it."
"So, it is the best choice for Uchiha to leave!"
Uchiha is leaving?!
This is a result that no one has ever thought of.
They even considered that Uchiha would choose an armed coup. They also made preparations for this.
Even if they can't stop Uchiha, they have to make Uchiha's reputation stinky to provide them with opportunities in the future.
They have this idea because they are worried or have a vague premonition that Uchiha may come to power this time.
They need to prepare for the next time.
Who would have imagined that the Uchiha would make a completely opposite decision?
They just decided not to play anymore.
If Konoha doesn't want them, why not just leave? It's not like they're forced to hang on this tree called Konoha.
Hiruzen and the others' minds were blank.
If they can't stop the Uchiha, what kind of impact will it have on Konoha after they leave?
Funan didn't care about that. After he finished speaking, he left first.
Uchiha Fugaku followed closely, followed by Aburame Shibi.
Watching them leave, Hiruzen and the others' pupils shrank.
"No!" Shikaku said first: "We must not let Uchiha leave."
Tsunade stared at them coldly and said: "No? Then tell me, how to stop them?"
"I have been back for so long, and I have heard you talk about the strength of the Uchiha clan. Three pairs of Mangekyo are three Kage-level, and among them there are peerless strongmen like Uchiha Funan. Tell me, how to stop them?"
"In a direct battle, how many men do we need to eradicate the Uchiha?"
"By the way, these Uchiha can't include Uchiha Funan. If he wants to leave, no one can stop him. Konoha doesn't have a second Senju Hashirama to deal with Uchiha Funan!"
The hearts of Hiruzen and others became heavier.
The entire conference room became extremely quiet.
Back then, Uchiha Madara betrayed Konoha and kept sabotaging, causing extremely serious losses to Konoha.
Fortunately, Konoha still had Senju Hashirama at that time, who killed Uchiha Madara.
The price is his own life.
Who in Konoha can stop Uchiha Funan now?
"Do you remember what Funan said?"
Someone suddenly said: "I remember he said that they would beg him to be the Hokage of Konoha."
Hiruzen's breathing became increasingly rapid.
Funan did say this, and they thought it was a joke at the time.
"Is this his purpose?" Hiruzen said coldly: "Using this method, he forced us to make him the Hokage?"
Tsunade said sarcastically: "If you have courage, don't look for him and let the Uchiha leave Konoha." While she was talking, she stood up and said: "By the way, I don't want to be the Hokage either. If you want to be the Hokage, you can do it yourself. Don't involve me."
"Tsunade!!!" Hiruzen shouted angrily: "Don't forget, you are the granddaughter of the First Hokage. You have the responsibility to protect Konoha."
Tsunade turned her head sharply, looked at Hiruzen with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "Do you really want me to make it clear? Teacher!"
Hiruzen's breathing stagnated. He didn't know what Tsunade knew, or how much she knew. So, he didn't dare to say anything. He did too many things. If any of them were leaked, he would go to hell.
But can he be blamed for that? Why didn't anyone understand him?
Everything he did was for Konoha!
At this moment, Hiruzen missed Danzo very much.
He understood him!
Tsunade turned her head, looked at the jonin and said: "Don't stay here, do what you should do."
The voting was obviously over.
Clearly, there was already a Fifth Hokage who could be announced to Konoha and notify the Daimyo, awaiting his appointment.
However, right now, the most important matter was the Uchiha.
"How can they be so inconsiderate?" A jonin gritted his teeth and said: "Just because they didn't win the Hokage election, they now have to betray the village? These selfish Uchiha!"
Others were silent. They didn't know what to say. The development of things had exceeded their imagination.
"Kurenai!" Shikaku suddenly said. "Can you please invite Uchiha Funan back?"
"Hmm?" Sitting in the corner, watching the situation unfold in silence, Kurenai was slightly startled. She was also ready to leave with Funan.
Her father was dead, and there was nothing in Konoha that tied her down. Better to leave with the man she loved.
Unexpectedly, Shikaku would call her.
"Bring him back?" Kurenai laughed and said: "Assistant Hokage, are you sure you can convince Funan?"
"It's always better to clear things up, isn't it?"
"Okay!"
