Chapter 42: Uchiha Dynamics
“You don’t understand!” Funan looked at the scroll, chuckled, and said: "There may be an opportunity for me to become stronger."
'The immortal body of the Evil God Cult? Would devouring it change my Sacred Tree?'
'Also, I should go to the Land of Grass. I remember that there is a member of the Uzumaki Clan there; his vital energy should satisfy the Sacred Tree.'
'She alone could heal at least ten or eight jonin and might even have unexpected surprises.'
“Sir, do you need us to go with you?” Tetsuhi said in a deep voice: "When I come out this time, Danzo and the others..."
"This is also the purpose, isn't it?" Funan said with a smile: "I hope they will send people to hunt me down. The more the better!"
Funan turned his gaze towards the Hokage Rock. The opponent's energy has not been exhausted yet.
Although the Ino-Shika-Cho clans began to oppose the Hokage and the senior leadership, that did not mean that Konoha could tolerate the Uchiha clan becoming stronger.
If it were just an individual battle between the Uchiha clan and the Hokage, Funan would not pay attention to the clans that the Konoha Corrupt Quartet belong to.
Even if they had the Sarutobi clan's army of three thousand shinobi.
The four Susanoo, leading a large number of Uchiha shinobi, will rampage and become invincible!
Especially with Funan's Mangekyo technique, which is perfect for group battles. Funan covered one of his eyes.
However, there are more than ten thousand shinobi in Konoha.
Funan is not a high-level person in the village. He doesn't know the specific number of shinobi that Konoha can pull out. It is at least 20,000, and the possibility of 30,000 is very high.
After all, it was a shinobi village that faced four-on-one attacks several times and had recovered for several years.
The title of the strongest shinobi village is well deserved.
There are a lot of powerful shinobi among them, and elite jonin like Aburame Shibi. Even Funan will feel a headache when facing them.
He still has to figure it out slowly.
[Bang!]
At this time, the door of the office was opened, and Fugaku walked in, and said: "Funan, this expense of supplies... umm?"
Fugaku was startled and looked at the eight people in the office blankly. 'Tetsuhi and Komehi are here. I won’t say anything. The question is why are you here? Uchiha Noboru!'
The Dove Faction elder who publicly questioned Funan at the clan meeting and was punished by Funan. He was appointed captain of the Konoha Police Force.
The Police Force team's tasks were different from the Dove Faction's philosophy. Although Funan had ordered the Uchiha to stay out of trouble, they couldn't ignore everything.
No matter what happens, under Danzo's long-term management, the villagers will hate them.
Furthermore, many people believe that once Uchiha Noboru joins the Police Force, Funan will definitely take care of him.
Who knows...
Fugaku said with a playful smile. "Elder Noboru, why are you here?"
Uchiha Noboru, however, had a calm expression on his face and said: "I am the captain of the Konoha Police Force. I am reporting to the minister on my mission. Isn't this normal?"
Fugaku snorted and looked directly at Funan. 'It turns out that Uchiha Noboru has long been loyal to Funan. Mission report, really? What a nonsense!'
Look at who are the people gathered in Funan’s office now? All of them are core members of Funan’s staff.
Looking at Funan with a smile on his face, Fugaku murmured in his heart. 'How much power does this boy hide? Moreover, he hid it deeper than he thought!'
"Clan leader, is there anything I can help you with?" Funan smiled slightly. The situation in Konoha was becoming clearer and more tense. It was necessary for him to expose more power and prove his dominance over Uchiha, lest anyone have inappropriate thoughts.
So, with Funan’s strength, even though he noticed Fugaku’s approach, he still ignored him.
'Just want you to see it!'
Fugaku came to his senses and calmly approached, saying: "Does this expense have your signature? Isn't the amount excessive?"
Uchiha Funan, although he serves as deputy leader of the Uchiha clan and head of the Konoha Police Force, is also now the representative of the largest faction of the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Fugaku, still the leader of the clan, also possessed considerable power. There were many decisions that could not be made without his consent.
Of course, Funan didn’t want to avoid him.
Uchiha Fugaku turns just forty this year and is at the peak of his power as a shinobi. Even without using the Mangekyo, his strength has reached the Kage level. With the Mangekyo, he can definitely beat the current Sarutobi Hiruzen.
With such an important combat power, Funan naturally wanted to win over him. He covered his left eye... He also had the confidence to win over the other party.
"Yes!" Funan glanced at the report Fugaku threw over and said: "This is what I signed."
Fugaku frowned and said: "Funan, you want to improve the quality of life of the Uchiha and improve the strength of the shinobi of the Uchiha clan. I can understand this, but you can't waste time."
"This massive movement of resources may be effective in the short term, but what happens afterward?"
"Oh, the clan leader really thinks about the future. It's funny!" A mocking voice sounded. "You never thought about how the Uchiha clan fell to this level, and whose fault is it?"
Fugaku's face darkened as he directed his cold gaze towards the source of the voice.
Uchiha Shin, a renowned Jonin and loyal follower of Funan, was one of the first Uchiha to join him.
Facing Fugaku's gaze, Shin did not back away at all and looked back at him with even colder eyes.
"You're worried now. Why weren't you before?" Shin said coldly. "If it weren't for the clan's relocation, how would the Uchiha clan have gotten to this point?"
After the Night of the Nine Tails, the Uchiha clan was not only forced to abandon its original territory, but also lost a large part of its industries.
Originally the two richest shinobi clans in Konoha were the Senju and the Uchiha.
Now, the Senju had practically disappeared, leaving only a few plots of land. The Uchiha clan's industry had also suffered serious damage and could only maintain the clan's internal operation with difficulty.
Where did those industries go? It was divided up by people from the Hokage faction.
Every time he thinks of this, the radical Uchiha Shin is driven crazy with hatred. He is also the person most hostile to Uchiha Fugaku.
At that moment, he claimed that he would fight to the death with the village. Even if all the Uchiha were killed, they could not leave their original territory. In the end, he was arrested on Fugaku's orders.
He didn’t know that if Funan hadn’t appeared, the Uchiha clan would have been exterminated, and the treasured ninjutsu would also be added to the Sarutobi clan.
"Funan, your subordinates are quite undisciplined." Fugaku said coldly. "Do you need me to help you teach them?"
“Haha!” Uchiha Shin sneered disdainfully and said: “Teach me? Just you?”
Uchiha Shin's violent chakra erupted, crashing heavily into Fugaku.
[Bang!]
Fugaku was hit and took a step back.
“You, elite jonin?” Fugaku blurted out. He looked at the others in shock. They all looked normal. An incredible thought appeared in Fugaku's mind. '…Could it be that these seven people are all elite jonin?'
This thought made Fugaku feel dizzy. 'What the hell, are you kidding me?'
There are probably more than three hundred jonin in Konoha. Counting those jonin hidden by the shinobi clans, there are definitely less than thirty elite jonin among them.
Most are leaders of the various shinobi clans, and many leaders of the smaller shinobi clans are not elite jonin.
Although elite jonin and jonin belong to the same level, there is a big difference in power. If elite jonin have enough information, they can even defeat a Kage-level shinobi.
In the five great shinobi villages, the position of elite jonin is extraordinary. Simply put, you don't know which of the elite jonin is actually Kage level.
"It's enough". Funan scolded Shin then said, "You must not be disrespectful to the clan leader."
"Yes!" Shin also immediately restrained his breath and stayed aside.
Fugaku looked at the shinobi present one by one, and finally stared at Funan.
“Are they all elite jonin?”
"Correct." Funan did not hide it and said: "In my hands, I only have these seven."
"Does it still seem too little to you?" Fugaku smiled bitterly. Right now, he wasn't angry at Shin's disrespect, he was simply happy.
Although Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Soji are older and their strength has declined, they still have the strength of elite jonin. Not to mention Uchiha Fugaku, and besides, Kuroko next to him was also close to that level. Itachi, Shisui…
Are there really that many elite jonin in the Uchiha clan?
Fugaku breathed heavily and said: "Funan, you did very well!"
As the leader of the clan, there is nothing that makes him happier than seeing his family prosper. As for the family not being under his leadership… he is the leader now, that's enough! What made him even more happy, and even a little chilling, was that Funan always remained calm.
This is really weird. To have such great power in his hands and still keep a low profile. A calm mind, overwhelming power, massive influence. These three points are enough for Funan to become the clan leader.
'How did he achieve that?' Although he was extremely curious, Fugaku did not ask.
What shinobi doesn't have some secrets? Especially those with a bad temper, they have even more secrets.
“The more elite jonin, the better!” Funan smiled slightly and said: “As for the supplies this time, don’t worry, clan leader, I have a way to get the supplies.”
Fugaku looked at the elite Jonin present, then nodded and said: "Okay, I won't say much more. I will continue to be responsible for the safety of the family, and I will leave the outside to you."
The distribution of power in the Uchiha clan is now gradually becoming clearer. Funan is responsible for foreign affairs and controls the Konoha Police Force. Fugaku is responsible for the internal affairs and controls Uchiha's patrols, secret sentries and barriers. Setsuna and Soji assisted Fugaku and also planned to check and balance each other.
The division of rights has determined that Funan will become the leader of the Uchiha clan in the near future.
If Fugaku wants to save the last bit of dignity, he must obediently cooperate with Funan and complete the transition.
Uchiha Shin snorted coldly and said: "I'll take that as sensible."
Funan rolled his eyes at him and said: "Don't overdo it. In a real fight, the two of you couldn't beat him."
Uchiha Noboru was also surprised and said: "Is he so strong?"
"Nonsense!" Funan said angrily: "Even if he doesn't use the Mangekyo's forbidden power, he has Kage-level power. Once he desperately uses Susanoo, Sarutobi Hiruzen will probably only be able to jump in front of him like a monkey."
The faces of those present changed slightly. Ever since their strength continued to increase with the help of Funan, they really looked down upon Fugaku.
In other words, there are very few people in Konoha who deserve their attention.
This is classic Uchiha nature. In Funan's words, it is necessary to hit them frequently.
Of course! An elite jonin, or an elite jonin of the Uchiha clan, is heavy no matter where you put it.
The reason why Shin and others misunderstood Fugaku's strength was related to Funan.
They have witnessed the fight between Fugaku and Funan and feel that Fugaku is not particularly strong. They think that if it were them, the result would not be very different.
Funan said seriously: "The last battle between the clan leader and I was not serious."
"Because we are both famous shinobi in the shinobi world. After testing the opponent's strength, in order to avoid a prolonged fight, we have to use one or two trump cards, and that is the Mangekyo."
"Since we both have the Mangekyo, there is no need to continue the fight. We are both Uchiha, we are not facing Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others."
Uchiha Noboru smiled and said: "Of course, there is another most important reason. Fugaku understands that he cannot defeat the minister."
Funan was not modest and said: "This is also the truth, but..." His eyes narrowed slightly.
Just as Fugaku did not know his Mangekyo Sharingan techniques, he also did not know Fugaku's Mangekyo Sharingan techniques.
Funan knows all the Mangekyo Sharingan techniques that appeared in the Naruto Series, but Fugaku is the only question mark.
Is it an illusion or space-time technique? Or something else?
Funan covered his eyes as he thought: 'No matter what kind of technique it is, he must bow his head in front of my own techniques!'
