Naruto: Uchiha’s Unserious Saga

Chapter 188: Chapter 188: Secrets, Allies, and a Plot in the Making



"Then why didn't you use the Sword of Totsuka just now?" Itachi frowned and said: "The First and Second Hokage were quite weakened, wasn't it the perfect time to seal them? Once sealed, they couldn't be summoned anymore, right?"

Funan said meaningfully: "Some big plays cannot be without the protagonist and some important supporting roles. If they are missing, then the performance can't go on."

"I don't understand! What drama? What protagonist and supporting role? You are not Jiraiya. Are you starting to write novels?"

Itachi looked irritated.

"Oh, you know all this!" Funan's eyes lit up, and he was in high spirits. He said: "I really did write it. I wrote several books. You don't know that during that period, when Jiraiya saw me, his knees would go weak, and he would kneel down on the spot."

Itachi was very upset and gritted his teeth and said: "Master White... did you write those novels?"

Funan was stunned and said: "You have read them too? Hehe, how is it? Is my writing good? Is it exciting?"

"Shut up!" Itachi roared. "Don't say that, and if other people know that it was a book you wrote, I will definitely kill you. I mean what I say."

Damn it, it's too embarrassing for Uchiha!

It's too embarrassing for Konoha.

Are those books written by people?

What made Itachi most painful was that these books were actually hot-selling!

And it is said that the daimyo said they were good after reading them!

Oh my God, this world is too crazy.

Funan didn't care about Itachi's words at all. He said: "Okay, let's talk about this Five Kage meeting."

"Five Kage?"

"Yes!"

Funan smiled and said: "Rasa is our ally. Pakura is the only person in Suna who may oppose us, the only unstable factor."

"Pakura?" Itachi was even more speechless and said: "Isn't she your woman?"

"My woman doesn't mean she listens to me in everything." Funan spoke like a wise man: "She is a kunoichi of Suna first, and then my woman. Don't mess up the order."

"Okay!"

Itachi thought for a while and said: "The Raikage is not simple. Although he has a bad temper, he has remained calm even though you provoked him so much. He will definitely become our biggest enemy."

Itachi, who was hiding in the dark, was so annoyed by Funan's nonsense throughout the whole process.

He wanted to jump out and beat him several times!

The Raikage actually held back.

Funan laughed and said: "Those who can become Kage... um!"

He suddenly thought of Rasa!

Changing the subject, he said: "Most people who can become Kage have such a talent."

"…Who were you thinking of just now?" Itachi asked, with a curious look.

"None of your business!"

Itachi curled his lips and said: "Terumi Mei… if you can get close to her, you should act soon. I have a feeling that woman is not easy to handle either."

Funan said dissatisfiedly: "Itachi, am I such a person in your eyes?"

"Brother Funan, can you be a little more honest with yourself… seriously."

Funan was completely stunned. That expression, those gestures…

Is this what he learned from himself?

People around him seem to be getting bad.

"The feeling that Terumi Mei gives me..." Itachi said seriously: "She is very thoughtful, and she has the courage that a Kage should have. Under her leadership, Kirigakure will not be slow to recover, and will definitely become a powerful enemy."

"And then there's Pakura, without a doubt, all of her skills are above average."

"Besides, she could see through your intentions. Neither of these women are easy to deal with."

Itachi said helplessly: "Fortunately, the Kage of Sunagakure is Rasa."

"Rasa is our ally, Itachi, it's not good to say that about allies!"

"Don't give me that!" Itachi rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Do you think I don't know who the special case you just mentioned is?"

"Okay, if you can see these, you are qualified to be a Kage!"

Funan looked at Itachi with a smile.

Itachi frowned and said: "Are you really going to abdicate like this?"

"Not in a short time. If I abdicate now, you may not be able to hold on." Funan smiled and said: "Ten years at most. Maybe, I will abdicate in less than ten years. Be prepared!"

Itachi took a deep breath. To be Hokage…

For someone like him, hearing those words filled him with intense emotion.

But even in ten years, Funan would still be barely thirty. Was it necessary to retire so young?

But on the other hand, that was Funan. He never did things for him to understand, he just expected him to obey him.

Itachi didn't think much about it and said: "Can this shadow clone be dissolved already?"

"Yes!"

[Bang!]

With a cloud of white smoke rising, Itachi's clone was removed.

In the Hokage's office, Itachi received the information the clone had gathered. With a frown, he began to quickly plan.

He prepared a detailed plan, outlining what attitude to take towards the other four shinobi villages and how to distribute forces on the borders. He just waited for Funan to return to sign the documents.

Sunagakure

"Hey, Kakuzu! How long are you going to keep this up?" Hidan complained again.

Kakuzu didn't even look at him, and carefully checked the accounts in front of him.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" Hidan shouted angrily.

Kakuzu still didn't respond. In his eyes, checking the accounts is a very sacred thing, and he can't tolerate any carelessness!

As for Hidan, if he could kill him, he would have killed him long ago.

Unfortunately, he has tried countless times over the years, but he has never been able to kill him.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, they both became tense.

"Ahahaha!"

Hidan couldn't help laughing.

"Good, great!"

"Finally I can move around. My body has been rusted for a long time."

He swung the huge and ferocious weapon in his hand vigorously.

Kakuzu looked at him out of the corner of his eye, with an expression of contempt. He finished reviewing the last details of the accounts and called a shinobi from the village.

"The accounts are in order. Make sure you keep them that way in the future, understood?"

"Yes!" The Suna shinobi respectfully accepted the documents, sealed them into a scroll, and took them away, storing them in an assigned storage room.

"Are you ready? Kakuzu!"

"Yeah!"

Kakuzu nodded impatiently, looked at him with disdain, and said: "Since you want to fight so much, from now on you will be the first to attack. Do you understand?"

"Okay!"

Hidan nodded readily.

Just now, Funan sent a message.

The content of the message required Kakuzu and Hidan to form a team to hunt some specific people.

At this moment, they also need to capture the tailed beasts.

This surprised Kakuzu.

What would Funan want with tailed beasts?

Konoha already had the strongest of them all, the Nine-Tails. Furthermore, all the tailed beasts were already under the control of some shinobi village. If they tried to capture them and were discovered, a war could break out. An all-out war… The Fourth Great Shinobi War!

'Could it be that Funa wants to unify the shinobi world?' Kakuzu thought excitedly.

Funan already handled important business in the Land of Fire and had sent him to Sunagakure to oversee trade there. Funan's schemes had not only allowed him to enjoy his work, but also to earn large sums of money. Kakuzu had more riches now than he could have ever imagined.

If Funan really managed to unify the shinobi world and handed over all the business to him, how much more could he gain?

With this idea in mind, Kakuzu and Hidan set off.

The reason why Funan gave Kakuzu such an order was because of news from Akatsuki.

They were about to begin their moves.

"Finally, Akatsuki has started to act." Funan murmured to himself. "Has the plot begun?"

"Kakashi-san and Guy-san, Hokage-sama has called a meeting." An ANBU messenger announced.

"Oh, yes!" Guy, immediately cheered up, let out a shout and looked at Kakashi beside him. "Kakashi, Hokage-sama has called us! We must go as soon as possible!"

Kakashi looked at Guy speechlessly.

His good friend became Funan's diehard fan, which really caught him off guard.

Guy was never particularly popular in Konoha, not that he had many friends.

Why did Funan like him?

There is a conspiracy!

Guy himself is happy, and Funan does give him enough respect.

Respect that he would never have in other people.

Kakashi knows too well how Guy is treated in Konoha.

Guy was no fool, and naturally, he began to feel that he owed his loyalty to someone who truly valued him.

As for the Eight Gates…

At first, Kakashi thought Funan was just using Guy as a disposable soldier. After all, he knew the power of that technique well.

Used correctly, he could turn the tide of a battle effortlessly.

However, Funan had given a clear and strict order: Guy was not to use the Eighth Gate under any circumstances. If he did, he would be considered a traitor and expelled from Konoha.

Could it be that Funan really respected and valued Guy?

Kakashi was confused.

They both arrived at the main meeting room.

This meeting room was specifically designed by Funan after he became Hokage, to host meetings with the jonin. It could seat five hundred people.

The old meeting hall, small and outdated, had been demolished by Funan.

Because that meeting hall could not accommodate many people.

Usually, the Konoha Corrupt Quartet and some people held meetings.

But times had changed. Some of the Konoha Corrupt Quartet had died or defected. Koharu wished to bury herself in the ground, afraid that Funan would see her.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is also in semi-seclusion.

They have long become a thing of the past.
