Naruto: Uchiha’s Unserious Saga

Chapter 141: Uncertain Alliances



"It's really annoying." Shikaku couldn't help but curse: "What kind of a plan is this? Do you think anyone can do it?"

"Me!" Funan said a word lightly.

Shikaku stared at Funan for a long time.

"Even if I agree to you, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others will not agree. Don't forget how many of them you killed last time."

"So, I need your help."

"Me?"

"Yes, tell Hiruzen and the others that all the shinobi troops should be dispersed."

"This..." Shikaku was startled and said: "This is possible, but..."

“No buts! If I fail, won’t it benefit them more? Go ahead, Shikaku, convince them and bring me good news.”

[Bang!]

After speaking, Funan dissolved his shadow clone.

Of course, before dissolving it, Funan winked at Kazu.

Kazu's face flushed again.

Shikaku had no time to pay attention to her. He walked back and forth, and his expression became a little irritable.

"I think I should agree to him."

Shikaku glanced at Kazu, not surprised that she spoke suddenly, but said: “Do you know the consequences of failure?”

“Yes, but it is Funan who takes the risk, and it has nothing to do with our Ino-Shika-Cho clans.”

Shikaku sneered.

"Uncle..." Kazu hesitated and said: "Why did you help Uchiha Funan this time? You even hid it from the acting Hokage..."

"For the future!"

"Future?" Kazu thought about it for a while and suddenly realized.

"Do you think it's possible for Uchiha to reach the top?"

"Yes!" Shikaku sighed and said: "It's not a possibility, it's almost a fact. You see, now those who oppose the Uchiha are not as firm as before, their will is scattered. Now part of their attention is on Hiruzen and his people."

"As long as there are not a lot of people opposing it, it's only a matter of time for Uchiha Funan to become Hokage."

"So I can't oppose Sarutobi Hiruzen, but I also need to ingratiate myself with Uchiha Funan."

"Because these are all my guesses, I can't tell the acting Hokage directly."

Kazu muttered dissatisfiedly: "I don't agree with betting on both sides."

Shikaku looked disdainful. His niece is smart, but her thinking is wrong. She doesn't look like a politician at all.

"Okay, I know what to do about this matter. I will tell you one last thing, don't get too close to Uchiha Funan."

Kazu said lightly: "If it is according to what you said, shouldn't I be closer to Uchiha Funan? If he reaches the top, the Nara clan will also take off."

"That's true, but don't forget your identity. You're from the Nara clan. If you approach him now, the others will think that I have other plans. Do you understand?"

"We must maintain a balance in everything we do."

"How annoying!" Kazu looked disgusted.

"This is the world of adults." Shikaku laughed and said: "You will grow up one day."

Shikaku left after he finished speaking.

Kazu stared at his back, thoughtful.

...

After much thought, Shikaku finally decided how to approach the matter.

He first went to Torifu and told him his idea.

After getting the approval of the Hokage, he went to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Funan's plan is worth executing. Although it is dangerous, once it succeeds, the benefits will be huge.

...

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat quietly at home, smoking his cigarette.

The smoke covered his face.

Opposite him, Nara Shikaku patiently explained Uchiha Funan's plan and his considerations over and over again.

The pros and cons were analyzed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen remained calm.

"Do you believe in Uchiha Funan?"

When Shikaku heard Hiruzen say this, he knew that Funan's plan would fail.

However, Shikaku is still making the final effort.

"I don’t trust him." Shikaku said in a deep voice: "But if this plan fails, it will be Uchiha Funan's own responsibility. For us, the loss is not great."

He looked at Hiruzen and added: "All shinobi will be dispersed. There will not be a large concentration of shinobi from a certain clan. Even if there are, they will only be Uchiha!"

Hiruzen paused, looked directly at Shikaku, and said: "That doesn't matter. What I mean is that you don't trust him, but I do."

"What?" Shikaku was stunned.

Hiruzen paid no attention to Shikaku's surprise and continued: "I believe him, so he is definitely plotting against me, or he has other plans, the former is more likely."

Shikaku was speechless. He said helplessly: "Will you consider this plan again?"

"No!" Hiruzen answered decisively.

Shikaku sighed.

"Shikaku, are you going to stand on the side of Uchiha?" Hiruzen suddenly asked as he looked at Shikaku.

Shikaku was startled and said: "How is it possible? I just want to assist the Acting Hokage and wait for the new Hokage. I have no intention of standing on any side. Why do you ask this?"

Hiruzen looked at Shikaku deeply and said: "Then why are you so enthusiastic and want to promote Uchiha Funan's plan?"

Shikaku smiled bitterly and said: "You know very well how unstable the shinobi world is. I cannot guarantee that a shinobi world war will not break out at any moment. If so, it would be best to follow Funan's plan."

"If he succeeds, we will not lose a single soldier."

"If he fails, the war will only be brought forward."

"Really?" Hiruzen smiled slightly, and his smile was meaningful.

Shikaku nodded, stood up and left. However, as he turned around, his expression turned grim.

"They didn't accept?" Funan looked at Shikaku’s reply but didn’t care. He threw it aside and murmured: "Brother Danzo, it's your turn. Don't disappoint me. I'm sure you'll find enough reasons to act."

Kurenai nestled in Funan’s arms and asked curiously: "What's wrong? Is Danzo going to attack you again? Does that old man never learn?"

“In this regard, we should learn from Danzo. No matter how many times he has been hit, he will not lose heart. He grits his teeth, endures the humiliation, takes a new step, and vows to complete his ideals and goals.”

“General Commander!”

Kakashi’s voice came. Funan was startled, and stood up and walked out of the tent: "What's the matter?"

"Iwagakure is moving in an unusual manner." Kakashi said with a serious expression: "A large number of Iwagakure shinobi are being replaced by stronger shinobi, including Onoki's son, Kitsuchi, and Akatsuchi."

"The current Iwagakure has only 5,000 people, but has gathered hundreds of jonin, and most of the others are chunin."

Funan frowned slightly. "Those restless guys. What about Kumogakure?"

"Kumogakure shows no movement."

"Really? Even at this time?"

"Yes!" Kakashi also frowned deeply. Obviously, it is not a good thing that Kumogakure is silent at this time.

Funan thought for a moment. He wanted to take action against Iwagakure and Kumogakure. These two villages suddenly took action at this time.

If you say there is no problem, Danzo doesn't believe it.

"Kakashi, let Jiraiya keep an eye on Kumogakure. In addition, send a message to Iwagakure and Kumogakure. I want to have a face-to-face meeting with them."

"Face-to-face meeting?"

"Yes, it's not a good idea to keep going like this. Let's talk about it as soon as possible and see what the other party wants to do?" Funan has been a little impatient after staying at the border for a long time.

He originally wanted to transfer people from the village to solve the problem but was rejected.

Funan was a little impatient now. If it didn't work, he would take action himself and defeat Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

[Boom!]

At that moment, a loud bang rang out.

Followed by screams and sounds of battle.

Funan frowned instantly.

"Damn it!" Kakashi exclaimed and rushed over quickly.

What he saw was Onoki floating in the sky. At the other end, he could feel a violent chakra.

The Fourth Raikage!

Iwagakure and Kumogakure attacked Konoha at the same time!

"Where is Jiraiya!?" Kakashi couldn't help but roared.

"No, we don't know." The communication shinobi said hurriedly: "Jiraiya-sama has cut off contact with us."

"These damn bastards, all go to hell!" Kakashi cursed angrily.

The surrounding shinobi were stunned.

"What are you scolding? Is it useful?" Funan's voice was heard. "Guy, you and Kakashi go see the Raikage, I'll go take care of the Tsuchikage."

"Yes!" Kakashi and Guy looked at each other and rushed over.

"Uchiha, go and help them!" Funan looked at the Uchiha shinobi and ordered loudly.

"This..." Uchiha Shinya was a little hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Funan looked at Shinya and said: "Are my words worthless anymore?"

"Commander-in-chief!" Shinya frowned and said: "It's not that your words are useless, but we have to ensure your safety. Even if you kill me, I will say so."

Funan turned his head to look at Shinya and suddenly had a headache.

"Uchiha Shinya!" Funan stared at Shinya and said in a deep voice: "Trust me, I have never let you down. I promised you that I would lead the Uchiha to the top of the shinobi world."

Shinya nodded heavily after a brief silence.

On the battlefield, he couldn't hesitate too much.

He led the Uchiha clan, forming a spearhead, and charged towards the Kumo shinobi.

Funan looked at the direction of Kumogakure and sneered: "If you want to take advantage, I will make you pay for it."

He divided the people of Konoha into two.

He was one side, and the rest of Konoha was one side.

With hundreds of Uchiha and over three thousand shinobi, it was enough to cause Kumo to suffer great losses.

The only concern was the Raikage and Killer Bee.

Guy, Kakashi, hold on!
