Chapter 253: Tsunade’s Resolve
Chapter 253 - 253: Tsunade’s ResolveItachi's expression darkened. Sasuke's current situation had him in a state of unease.
Sasuke's desire for strength was evident, and just then, Orochimaru had appeared, offering power as bait.
He remembered Funan's recent proposal: to turn Sasuke into a Jinchuriki.
"Sasuke!" Itachi called out to him with a stern expression. "Why? Why do you desire so much power?"
"I..." Sasuke was a little confused when asked this question again.
He didn't want to be surpassed by Naruto. He wanted to surpass Naruto! He wanted to be like his brother, his father, and Funan.
Those were all valid reasons.
But...
When he tried to express his thoughts, the words got stuck in his throat.
He felt that none of those reasons explained his obsession with power.
Funan looked at him with a deep gaze, noticing something strange.
Sasuke's desire for strength was unusual.
Orochimaru's sudden appearance during the Chunin Exams.
Itachi's doubts about him.
It all seemed as if someone was pulling the strings, guiding every event toward a specific purpose.
"How interesting..." Funan muttered to himself. "It's as if an invisible hand is trying to return everything in this world to its original course."
"The will of the world? If so..."
"So the main objective would be to eliminate me, a foreign element."
Funan smiled, then looked at Itachi. "Well, Itachi, let's leave this for later. We have more important matters at hand now."
"Understood." Itachi looked at Funan and felt guilty.
Seeing Sasuke's desire for power made him question whether he had misjudged the proposal to make him a Jinchuriki.
"Funan-aniki, shall we suspend the Chunin Exams?"
"No!"
"Don't!"
As soon as Itachi finished speaking, Naruto and Sasuke took the lead in opposing.
"Shut up!" Itachi glared at the two and said: "Do you have the right to speak here?"
Sakura quickly pulled Naruto and Sasuke. The two were indignant, but didn't say much.
Itachi looked away at Funan.
"A mere Orochimaru is not a sufficient reason to cancel the chunin exams." Funan commented calmly. "Besides, on this occasion, the other four Kage will also be present."
Itachi didn't add anything else.
"I'll take care of organizing a team to pursue Orochimaru immediately."
"No need." Funan replied with a smile after thinking about it for a few seconds. "Orochimaru is very good at hiding his identity. Who knows who he might turn into? If we become obsessed with
Tsunade interrupted him again and said: "I know Orochimaru, he might really come for you, and killing the Hokage in Konoha is also in line with his temperament."
Tsunade's expression was a little scary. "I'm going to kill him!"
Funan looked at Tsunade in surprise and said: "Really? I didn't know you admired me so much."
[Bang!]
Tsunade slammed the table hard and leaned forward.
"Listen to me carefully, Uchiha Funan. It's not that I hold you in high regard. On the contrary, I deeply dislike you, not because you are an Uchiha, but because I simply cannot stand someone like you. But I also know that, at this moment, Konoha cannot afford to lose you."
After being forced to return to Konoha by Funan, she witnessed the changes that had occurred in the village.
To her surprise, she was delighted.
If she had a choice, why would she have left Konoha, the place where she grew up?
The answer was simple: first, she was forced to leave; second, she couldn't stand the Konoha ruled by Hiruzen.
Now Konoha has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Tsunade began to participate in the reconstruction of this new Konoha and enjoy every moment.
Over time, this renewed Konoha began to heal her wounds, becoming a new emotional pillar for her.
Even her hemophobia began to disappear.
But despite everything, Tsunade understood well that Konoha still faced extreme dangers.
The rapid development of the village had attracted the attention of the other four great shinobi villages, and their attitude towards Konoha was evident.
If something were to happen to Funan at this moment, Hiruzen would surely swoop in to regain power again.
In the shadows, there was also Danzo who continued to plot to regain control of Konoha.
Tsunade would never allow Konoha to return to its former state.
Never!
She was determined to eliminate any threat.
With a fierce glare, Tsunade fixed her eyes on Funan and spoke, word for word: "Hand over to me all the information you have on Orochimaru. I will deal with him personally."
