Eiko Uchiha

Chapter 99 Attending the Funeral
Konoha Village, Hokage Office.

Wearing a Hokage hat, Sarutobi Hiruzen, with his back to the gate, stared at the scenery outside the window. Even his favorite pipe was placed on the desk, and he had no desire to take a puff.

Behind, nearly ten ninjas stood solemnly, their heads bowed, motionless.

One of the white-haired masked men raised his head and looked at the back of Sandai Hokage. In the illusion, Sandai seemed to be a little thinner, and his stooped body was also a little shorter than usual, and Hokage's hat could not cover his full head. white hair.

The white-haired man, that is, Kakashi Hatake, twitched his lips a few times, paused and muttered: "Three Hokage-sama, my condolences will change!"

Hearing the words, the Third Hokage shrugged his shoulders slightly, and after a long time, he turned around slowly, with the same gentle and kind smile as usual, but there were a few more wrinkles on his face.

The third generation smiled gently: "Kakashi, you don't need to comfort me. As a hokage, I have experienced three world wars in the ninja world, and I have never encountered any situation. As a ninja, you must always be prepared to sacrifice for the village. "

After a pause, the third generation continued: "Xinzhisuke sacrificed for the village and deservedly died. The old man is very pleased."

Hatake Kakashi nodded silently, understanding the mood of the third Hokage, and shifted the topic to others: "Chiba and Shisui have returned. According to them, the secret code department of the country of water has been captured. Ninja. Just..."

Kakashi hesitated to speak, but Morino Ibiki on the side couldn't help it, and reprimanded him: "The two of them have eyes on Hokage, and after completing the task, they didn't bring the captives to Konoha, why is this traitorous village? What is the difference? Hokage-sama, I beg you to go to the Uchiha immediately, and then..."

Three generations of Hokage reached out to stop him, smiled wryly, and said, "No need. I understand that the two of them have complaints. Shinnosuke is not only my son, but also their favorite teacher. Especially Chiba, in the ninja school, prepare Discriminated against by the teacher. Shinnosuke is completely different, he treats his disciples equally, and even values ​​Chiba more than other disciples. And Chiba is one of the same in their team, no wonder Chiba is doing this."

"They want to negotiate terms with the old man. And if the old man wasn't eager for quick success, maybe more than half of Qianye's plan would have been successful. It's all the old man's impatience. Otherwise..."

Hatake Kakashi comforted: "It's not your fault, you are also a minority obeying the majority, and you are considering Konoha."

The key to this task, Hatake Kakashi, who is the captain of the dark army, knows the twists and turns.Even in order to complete the task perfectly, he did not hesitate to transfer himself from other unfinished tasks, and he did not hesitate to pay a huge liquidated damages.

The culprit of all this is Danzo.If it wasn't for his instigation, the other two elders wouldn't be so short-sighted.Make this kind of thing that kills the chicken and takes the egg.

But Kakashi didn't say anything about this kind of thing.The relationship between Chiba and Danzo is not good, which is something that almost everyone in Konoha Ninja knows.If this matter is revealed, Chiba will almost certainly be blown up.

What Kakashi didn't know was that Chiba, as a later generation, knew what kind of goods Danzo was, and basically guessed that Danzo was behind it.Chiba didn't make trouble, but for the sake of teacher Shinnosuke's face, he didn't want any accidents to happen at Shinnosuke's funeral.

……

Three days later, Konoha Cemetery.

In the center of the cemetery stands a statue.The shape of the flame symbolizes Konoha's will of fire, and the shape of the vortex inside represents the friendship between Konoha and the Uzumaki family.

In front of a new tombstone.Standing tall were hundreds of ninjas dressed in black.The first row is the relatives and friends of the deceased Shinnosuke: father Hizaru Sarutobi, younger brother Asma Sarutobi, wife Kuriko Sarutobi (female follow her husband's surname), son Sarutobi Konoha Maru, and other members of the Sarutobi clan .

Chiba, Shisui, and Hongdou are also standing in the second row as Shinnosuke's disciples, and the rest are Shinnosuke's other classmates.

Because Shinnosuke's father, Hiruza Sarutobi, was still Hokage, which was very different from the funeral of Asuma Sarutobi's sacrifice, which was very deserted. Many people came to his funeral, and many of them were for the power of Hokage.Or other people with ulterior motives, such as the trio of Konoha elders such as Danzo.

Buried under the tombstone are the remains of Shinnosuke collected by Chiba and Shisui.Shinnosuke forcibly ate the four-generation Mizukage Yakura's one-hit tail beast jade.

The power of this ninjutsu can flatten a mountain.Shinnosuke's body is basically incomplete.

When Chiba was handed over to the third Hokage Hiruzaru Sarutobi, the old man finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.The four major tragedies in life are mother loss in early life, father loss in youth, wife loss in middle age, and child loss in old age.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has already taken the second place.His wife, Sarutobi Lake Biwa, died in a sneak attack by Uchiha Obito in the Nine Tails incident.The eldest son also died in the mission of the kingdom of water.

So, sometimes dying late is not a good thing.

Chiba's sense of the third Hokage has also deepened a bit, and he is finally a person of flesh and blood.Much better than Danzo's dark and ruthless ninja.

Of course, Chiba would not tell Sandai Hokage that he left a part of Sarutobi Shinnosuke's meat.If there is that ability, whether to revive Shinnosuke.

Of course, under the premise of having that ability.Both the Reincarnation of the Dirty Earth and the Innate Art of Reincarnation can be completed, but one is to summon zombies, and the other is to truly resurrect.As for what to do, that is a matter for the future, Qianye definitely can't do it now.

The funeral ceremony was over, and the third Hokage walked at the back, pacing slowly, like a widowed old man, walking with difficulty.Sandai Hokage walked to Qianye's side, casually said: "Qianye, come to my office later."

Qianye's eyes froze, wondering if it's finally going to be a showdown, nodded and remained silent.

After leaving the cemetery, saying goodbye to Shisui and Hongdou, Chiba went to Hokage's office alone.

Inside the Hokage office.

Sandai Hokage smoked a pipe with a relaxed expression, as if he had recovered from the grief of losing his beloved son.But there is no flattened brow, which seems to be explaining something.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

The voice of the third generation is still very kind.

With a creaking sound, the door opened, and Chiba approached inside.Silently walked in front of Hokage, motionless.

The Third Hokage didn't seem to see Chiba, smoking a pipe, his eyes were blurred, and he was talking about something, just like an old man who doesn't care.

"The old man has been in charge of Hokage for about 20 years. He has done a lot of things that are beneficial to the village and the country of fire. Of course, he has also done a lot of wrong things. When the old man dies and meets the second-generation Hokage-sama, he may be punished. Let him be scolded by the old man."
