Naruto: Uchiha’s Unserious Saga

Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Of Tailed Beasts, Fake News, and Noble Heads Rolling



While Konoha is in full swing, news finally arrived from Brother Obito.

The Five-Tails was captured!

The Eight-Tails was seriously injured!

Hearing this news, Funan's first question was, "The Five-Tails and the Eight-Tails were together?"

"Yes!" Uzuki Yugao replied in a deep voice: "According to the latest news, the Five-Tails was captured by the Akatsuki people. The Eight-Tails was with the Five-Tails at the time and was seriously injured."

"Where did it happen?"

"It is said to be on the sea!"

A place appeared in Funan's mind.

Island Turtle!

Kumogakure's most precious jewel.

But in the face of such intense pressure, even Kumogakure could do nothing but give in and use it to strengthen Iwagakure.

"Interesting!"

Funan was not surprised by the closer alliance between Kumogakure and Iwagakure; what really intrigued him was how Obito had found their location.

Funan closed his eyes and, through his ring, communicated with Konan.

"The Five-Tails was not captured!"

Konan, as if understanding Funan's intention, blurted out this sentence as soon as they began to speak, leaving Funan stunned.

"But according to the reports I received…"

"They're fake!" Konan interrupted firmly. "The masked man failed. The Five-Tails escaped, though we don't know how. Iwagakure spread the news that he was captured, which we also found strange upon receiving it."

Konan seemed somewhat puzzled as she spoke.

"The masked man was furious, it was obvious he couldn't hide it. He thinks Iwagakure tricked him."

Funan thought. "Could it be that the masked man is hiding it from you?"

"Impossible!" Konan said without hesitation. "You know well that sealing a tailed beast is not something the masked man can do alone. Even with the help of Zetsu, and others in Akatsuki, it would be extremely complicated. At least they wouldn't be able to hide it from Nagato."

Funan nodded silently.

...

"I know the whereabouts of the tailed beasts!"

Hearing these words, Funan was taken aback.

"Rasa, are you saying you know where the tailed beasts are?"

Funan used a secret technique to project an image of himself in front of Rasa, watching him suspiciously.

"Yes!" Rasa replied in an annoyed tone. "Do you want this information or not?"

"How do you know?"

"Because Gaara is with them, I always know the location of my son."

"Oh, right!"

Funan had almost forgotten. The One-Tail had always been in Sunagakure.

It was logical that the Raikage's plans included the One-Tail, as he wanted to gather as much power as possible.

Although Gaara was technically Funan's disciple, the two barely saw each other.

Sunagakure and Konoha had also had conflicts recently, despite being nominal allies.

As for the Raikage's true motives, Funan had no idea, nor did she care.

"I still lack the chakra of the Five-Tails and the Seven-Tails."

The Seven Tails…

Funan suddenly realized that the Seven Tails' hideout, Takigakure, would likely become a battlefield for everyone.

After confirming the location of the Tailed Beasts with Rasa, Funan contacted Konan again.

"Konan, how is Nagato?"

Konan sighed deeply. "In the last battle, Nagato used a forbidden technique and suffered some injuries. Luckily, the medical kunoichi you sent has pretty decent skills."

Nagato was always too stubborn.

Trying to take on the Raikage alone alongside four other Kage-level warriors, plus thousands of shinobi and samurai...

Isn't this nonsense?

Funan smiled and said: "Can you tell me more? I'm also curious. Logically, he should have been in a weak period after using his ultimate move, but he was still able to fight and beat away Raikage, Mifune and others. How did he do it? Has Nagato's strength improved so much?"

Konan smiled and said: "Just as you have someone from the Uzumaki Clan to help you restore your chakra in critical moments, Nagato also has his methods."

"Okay! What are your plans next?"

"Catch the tailed beast!"

"I'll cooperate with you. You know how it works: once the Tailed Beast is captured, we negotiate. It doesn't matter if I want the Tailed Beast or just its chakra; we'll settle it in a way that both sides are satisfied."

With this, the conversation ended.

Funan understood that Konan was still hiding something from him, mainly because she was worried that Funan would kill Nagato.

However, Nagato's fate was something he himself would have to decide.

After sending the Tailed Beast's location to Akatsuki, Funan also informed Gaara about the possible threat of an attack by Akatsuki.

After that, he decided to stay out of it.

Akatsuki already had the One-Tail's chakra. Even if a war broke out, the One-Tail would not be the main target.

...

An unexpected period of calm.

The Fourth Shinobi World War began, but...

Within days, Konoha had defeated everyone.

This left the small shinobi villages, who had prepared for so long, completely disoriented.

And then when the large shinobi villages allied themselves to take on a small village like Amegakure, a village they had been on the verge of destroying several times, they too suffered a defeat.

Suddenly small nations like the Land of Tea began to subtly change their attitude towards large shinobi villages.

The shinobi villages naturally notice this.

But Kiri and Suna paid no attention to them.

For their part, Iwa and Kumo were clearly dissatisfied.

They used to be Konoha's main competitors and boasted of their power.

But now, the current situation was hard to accept.

Still, for the sake of their plans, they decided to endure it.

Among all, the most desolate was Mifune.

For endless nights, he sat on the roof with his sword, feeling aggrieved.

At first, supporting the other villages against Konoha seemed like the right thing to do.

But in the end, it all turned out to be one mistake after another.

If it weren't for his strength, his loyal followers, and the need to maintain leadership in the Land of Iron, he would have lost his position as General long ago.

...

Iwagakure and Kumogakure are dormant.

Kirigakure is in a mess.

Sunagakure is quietly focusing on its own development.

The Land of Iron feels aggrieved.

This is the current situation after the war.

As for Konoha, it is focusing on expansion.

Although the two new cities were much older than Konoha, Funan felt that the cities did not match his standards.

Previously, these cities were owned by the Daimyo. Their conditions did not matter so much.

But now things have changed.

They were now his cities and Funan could not stand even a single flaw. He had decided to completely reform both cities, until they met his expectations.

The first thing was to chop off the nobles!

What kind of nonsense is this? Are you giving up or not?

What? Nobles never surrender?

They are born nobles, born high and mighty.

Even after losing the war, you still wanted to enjoy the privileges of the nobility?

In an instant, a couple of nobles were beheaded then everyone fell silent.

The nobles' heads rolled on the ground as the others looked on in shock.

"I heard that you nobles are all hereditary?" Funan asked with a smile. "So, you have enslaved civilians for such a long time, um, hundreds of years, you must be very rich?"

"You, what do you want to do?"

A noble seemed to understand something and asked in a fearful voice.

"Nothing too complicated." Funan replied, smiling. "Hand over all your possessions to me, and I will give you commoner status."

"Impossible!" A nobleman shouted, completely outraged. "We will never accept that!"

Another echoed his sentiments: "We are nobles! You cannot deprive us of our rights!"

"We demand to speak with the Daimyo!"

Funan looked at the nobles jumping up and down, nodded slightly, and said: "You are right, you are nobles, giving you the status of commoners is a bit embarrassing for you."

The nobles hadn't smiled yet, and the next moment, they almost fainted.

"Come on, chop all these nobles for me!"

Funan muttered: "Nobles, they all have dignity, they are noble and proud, they would rather die in battle than surrender!"

Without further ado, amidst the cries of the crowd, the nobles were beheaded one after another.

However, the women and children were spared.

The civilians looked at Funan with fear.

The nobles were all killed, so what about them?

In response, Funan grinned, scaring many civilians to sit on the ground.

"I..."

Funan was stunned.

"Puff!"

A couple of his subordinates couldn't contain themselves and burst out laughing.

"Am I really that scary?" Funan complained, turning to Uzuki Yugao.

In response to Funan's question, the others held back and did not dare to say anything.

Yugao on the other hand answered bluntly: "Well, you look good, but your smile is creepy. But don't be angry, it's not your fault, it's the world's fault."

Funan: "... You learned bad things, and you learned them from me."

The comment provoked laughter from those present, but Funan paid no attention. He wanted to address the commoners, to give them a motivating speech. But in the end he restrained himself.

"Disperse!" Funan looked at the civilians calmly and said: "Do what you should do in the future. I won't treat you unfairly. If you do something you shouldn't do, hum!"

The words, though harsh, relieved the commoners, who began to cheer: "Long live the Hokage!"

It had become clear: the cities were now under Konoha's control.
