"Take your time to think about it." Funan told him without much concern "When you are sure, just come to me."
Kakashi said helplessly: "Hokage-sama, are you sure I will be able to find you?"
"You should be able to…" Funan replied with a laugh.
He, as the Hokage, doesn't often sit in the office.
For many things, after he makes a decision, he will arrange it to his subordinates and leave.
Even if he is occasionally in the office, it is because Yako is in the office.
After visiting Kakashi, Funan quickly left.
Funan believes that Kakashi would probably still choose to keep the Sharingan.
Although losing that eye would allow Kakashi to increase his power in the long run, did he have the patience to wait?
Ever since he saw Obito's shadow, his heart was tied to that man.
The Sharingan will drag him down, but it can also increase his power in a short time.
…
At that moment, a series of secret messages were rapidly sent to the other four great shinobi villages.
Everyone except Konoha, including Suna, received the communications.
Rasa, upon reading it, did not hesitate to use special techniques to inform Funan of the content of the message. In addition, he made minor adjustments to the disposition of Suna's troops.
Although the changes were not significant and most people did not notice them, those who knew what was happening understood that Rasa was already preparing for combat.
Meanwhile, Funan was hugging Kurenai, preparing to spend the night together, when he received the secret message, he couldn't help but stop.
"How interesting!"
The content of the message was simple and direct, but enough to give Funan a headache.
"What's wrong?" Kurenai asked, a look of irritation on her face.
She had been interrupted right at the crucial moment, which made her feel furious. She almost slapped Funan!
"The Kazekage just informed me of something using a secret technique."
"Something more important than what we were doing?" Kurenai replied, annoyed. "If that's the case, go and deal with it!"
Funan thought for a moment and said: "I think what we're doing now is more important."
"Then you... um!"
...
Three hours later, Kurenai lay exhausted in Funan's arms, unable to move.
In a lazy tone, she asked: "What was the content of the secret message? Could you tell me?"
Her curiosity was understandable, especially considering how excited Funan was after receiving it.
"Oh, it's no big deal!" Funan said with a smile: "It's just that someone told the other four great shinobi villages that the two-tailed, three-tailed, and four-tailed beasts have fallen into my hands."
Kurenai blinked in surprise. She sat up suddenly, ignoring her exposed beauty.
Funan's eyes lit up.
Kurenai's figure was so perfect from any angle.
"This, this..." Kurenai stuttered, her mind was blank.
"Don't be nervous!" Funan smiled and said: "Those three tailed beasts are indeed in my hands. They are not accusing me unfairly."
Kurenai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Funan, do you know the meaning of the tailed beasts?"
"Nonsense!"
Funan rolled his eyes and said: "I have three tailed beasts in my possession. Oh, and I also have the Nine-Tails, which is a public resource of Konoha."
"Besides, Kurenai, I am the Hokage!"
After saying this, Funan felt inexplicably refreshed.
Danzo, where are you? I miss you!
I want to say this to you.
Kurenai said helplessly: "Since you know, why do you still want to move the tailed beast? This is stabbing the hearts of the other villages!"
"What are you talking about." Funan said innocently: "If I don't move the tailed beasts, do you think the other villages won't? Since everyone is moving, I'll move too!"
"That's called getting ahead of others!"
Kurenai, unable to contain a bitter smile, replied: "The thing is, you already got ahead of yourself, and now the problem is here! Do you really think those villages will just sit back and do nothing?"
Looking at him seriously, she added: "If someone tried to steal the Nine-Tails from you, what would you do?"
Funan's response was swift and forceful: "I would beat him so hard that even his mother wouldn't recognize him!"
"This is a disaster!" Kurenai sighed. "The other shinobi villages will definitely not give up."
"So what?" Funan sneered and said: "They have proof that the Two-Tailed, Three-Tailed, and Four-Tailed beasts are in my hands? Are they going to accuse me just based on the testimony of a missing-nin? I laugh at that! If they dare to do so, I will beat them up and send them home to eat shit!"
Hearing that, Kurenai let out a sigh of relief. 'Well, at least the information came from a missing-nin...'
But even if it was just a message from a traitor, when it came to the tailed beasts, the rival villages would not let it go easily. A simple rumor could spark a fierce fight. After all, the survival of an entire village was at stake. No one would dare to take it lightly.
"Don't think too much about it, Kurenai." Funan said, smiling mischievously. "The tailed beasts are already in my hands, that's a fact! There's no point in returning them, is there?"
Kurenai hesitated.
…
As expected, when Funan returned to the Hokage's office, Yako had already brought him the news.
The other villages are sending emissaries to Konoha.
To this, Yako felt that things were very strange.
"Let them come!" Funan looked at Yako and said: "You are responsible for this matter. Their purpose should be the tailed beasts. I caught the two-tailed, three-tailed and four-tailed. There was a traitor who leaked the news to them, but don't worry, they have no evidence. The words of the traitor are not counted. You can do whatever you want."
Yako was stunned on the spot. Then she took a deep breath to calm herself.
However, as Funan's secretary, she had to obey Funan's arrangements and handle things properly.
At the same time, rumors began to emerge in Konoha.
…Rumors that Uchiha Funan had captured the tailed beasts of other shinobi villages.
The village, which had been quiet until then, was stirred like a lake into which a stone had just been thrown, causing ripples. The matter of the tailed beasts was too delicate.
One wrong move, and the Great Shinobi War could break out.
"Is it about to start?"
Funan stood quietly in front of the window of the Hokage's office, looking at the scenery outside, with a cold smile on the corner of his lips.
"Mmm, that expression isn't right."
Funan thought for a while and changed to a mean smile.
"That's better!"
"Four great villages... oh, no, wait... three. I'll be waiting for you!"
"Someone come!" Funan called, and an ANBU member appeared. "It seems that the village hasn't been very quiet lately. There seem to be spies from other villages moving around. It's time for them to do something."
"Yes!"
...
Shimura Danzo slowly opened his eyes.
He felt like he had slept for a long time.
His consciousness was a little confused, and he was even more tired.
"How do you feel, Danzo-sama?"
Orochimaru's hoarse voice sounded.
"Orochimaru..."
Danzo thought for a moment, then realized that he seemed to have asked Orochimaru to conduct an experiment... using his own body.
Danzo sat up suddenly and felt a sharp pain in his body. He couldn't help but groan.
"Danzo-sama, slow down."
Orochimaru said in a low voice: "If you move too fast, the wounds could open again."
Danzo frowned and looked down at his body. His skin was now covered in scars and seams that crossed his body in a grotesque manner. His appearance was terrifying.
"Orochimaru!" Danzo said coldly: "What did you do to my body?"
"Danzo-sama, first of all, congratulations!" Orochimaru replied, unable to hide his excitement.
The experiment had been a success. He had collected a huge amount of data, and he was sure that the next experiment would be perfect.
Uchiha Funan...
All that's missing is your body!
Orochimaru's eyes were fiery and crazy.
This experiment gave him extraordinary confidence.
As for Danzo, although he was a semi-finished product, it would be enough for his purposes.
"Orochimaru! What the hell are you saying? Look at me! You dare congratulate me? Are you mocking me?" Danzo couldn't contain his fury.
At this moment, he felt unusually weak.
This was not what he wanted.
He swore that if Orochimaru didn't give a reasonable explanation, he would make this venomous snake regret it.
Since he dared to come… since he dared to let Orochimaru operate on his body, he had something to trust!
He is the Darkness of the Shinobi!
Orochimaru came back to his senses and said: "Danzo-sama, the experiment has been a success. You are very weak now, but in a couple of days, you will have fully recovered."
Danzo's expression changed slightly: "Does that mean I can fight again?"
He had been in a fierce battle against Uchiha Funan. Seriously wounded, he barely managed to escape.
This caused Hashirama's cells inside him to lose control, almost devouring him completely.
Although he had activated some reserve Sharingan, most of these were two-tomoe.
Those Sharingan could barely maintain a delicate balance with Hashirama's cells inside his body, but they were barely keeping him alive.
This is also the reason why he urgently looked for Orochimaru.
Now, Orochimaru told him that the experiment was successful.
Doesn't that mean he can fight again?
Although he thinks that as a Hokage, he doesn't need to fight, just like Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has been a Hokage for decades, how many times has he fought?
However, having a certain level of strength was still a necessity.
Besides, Uchiha Funan was still alive.
Danzo's eyes were cold.
