Konoha from the Heart

Chapter 323 Funeral
The time for Tsunade's inauguration has been determined, just ten days later.

As for the voting by the ninja and the daimyo's approval of these things, it's not a thing at all.

Except Danzo, no one objected.

Danzo didn't object either, at least on the surface he didn't object.

There is another very important thing before the succession ceremony, and that is the funeral of the third Hokage.

It is said that ten days have passed since the death of the three generations. During this period, people continued to express their condolences, and it was not until today that they were finally buried.

And his name will naturally be engraved on the memorial monument.

Coincidentally, the place where the battle took place this time was near the Memorial Monument.

In a battle of that scale, how could the old comfort monument remain intact.

Therefore, the comfort monument was remade, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's name was ranked in the forefront, second only to Senjubashima and Senjubeima, and even the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato was also honored by it.

The name of Haruno Sakura, the only ninja who died in the Urashi attack, is also left at the end of the stele.

The girl's funeral has already been completed, and today's protagonist is only Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Only Naruto would still look at Sakura's name in front of the memorial monument, feeling sad, but he didn't have any intention of revenge.

Because Senior Kakashi told him that Urashiki who attacked him was dead.

Haruno Sakura's parents did not attend Hiruzaru Sarutobi's funeral, and they were still somewhat dissatisfied with the dead third generation. If he hadn't arranged Jinjuriki and his daughter in the same class, this tragedy probably wouldn't have happened.

Today's weather is good, there is no such thing as in ordinary stories, where every funeral is bound to be cloudy and rainy to set off the atmosphere.

That's just a way to deceive the audience in hypocritical literary works, and it can't be taken seriously.

Tsunade, as a direct disciple of three generations and the only candidate for the next Hokage, naturally presided over the funeral ceremony.

And the youngest son of the third generation, Sarutobi Asma, thanked the guests one by one as a family member. Beside him was a woman holding a five or six-year-old child. She was Asma's sister-in-law, and the child was his Sarutobi Konohamaru, the nephew of his father.

Traveling from the heart caused the eldest son of the third generation to die early, and now it has caused the third Hokage to die half a year earlier, but the advantage is that the eldest daughter-in-law of Sarutobi Hiruzen was saved, so his eldest grandson Sarutobi Konoha Maru was taught by his mother himself, and childhood Not as naughty as in the original anime.

Standing among the ordinary guests, the two Hokage consultants watched the coffins of the three generations being slowly buried in the ground, not feeling very sorry, and at some point they even had the idea of ​​resigning for the elderly.

But this kind of thought is only fleeting. After standing at the peak of power for many years, it is not easy to retreat if they want to, let alone they don't want to retreat at all.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's good friend Shimura Danzo was not among the crowd attending the funeral.

At this moment, he was playing with Fei Duan's ring in the root base, with a serious expression on his face.

Yesterday, Tsunade found him in private and patted a stack of letters in front of him.

Danzo knew at a glance that this was a letter from Anzi who he sent to Dashewan to contact him.

"That fellow Yaoshidou actually betrayed me!" This was the first thought that popped into his mind, and then he thought, "Impossible, this guy has been cursed by me."

In the end, another conclusion was drawn: "It seems that Orochimaru has discovered his identity and eradicated him"

In fact, he thought too much. Orochiwan knew the identity of Yaoshidou a long time ago, but he didn't eradicate it, but directly incorporated it. As for the curse seals he used to control the roots, he had already been lifted by the researcher Orochimaru up.

With Danzo's heart, he would never think in this direction.

In his opinion, Orochimaru is the same kind of person as himself, a person who can do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, and will never tolerate betrayal if he is ruthless.

But he was wrong. Orochimaru has the paranoia of scientists, but generally speaking, he is still very broad-minded.

This has nothing to do with him becoming her now, but an innate character.

For his ideal, he will definitely use those who are useful to him, not only reuse but also give full trust.

This is the charm of Orochimaru.

He has a large group of diehard loyalists, whether it is Junmalu or Honglian, they are all people who are willing to dedicate their bodies to him, this is his charm.

Perhaps in terms of deceiving people's hearts, he has already surpassed others, even his mentor Sarutobi Hiruzen can't compare.

A multifaceted spy like Yao Shidou is also devoted to him.

Compared with him, Shimura Danzo, who can only use the threat of curse marks to control his subordinates, is simply weak.

Right now, since the letter he secretly revealed to Orochimaru has fallen into Tsunade's hands, the other party is definitely not here to chat with him.

"What does this mean?" Danzo pretended to be stupid.

Tsunade was very straightforward: "In addition to these, there are many secret laboratories. I hope they can be merged into Konoha Hospital and become a scientific research institution of the hospital."

"It's impossible, the lab at the root has been closed long ago."

"In that case, I will personally send someone to take over. I hope that unnecessary troubles will not occur by then?"

"What exactly do you want? As the person in charge of Konoha's darkness, it's only natural for me to contact the spies sent out. These letters pose no threat to me at all!"

"But he will make you notorious, and as far as I know, the third generation has disbanded the roots six years ago, but your contact with Orochimaru has never been interrupted. I think all the jonin in the village will want to know the reason. "

"Tell me your purpose"

"I have already said, all the laboratories and personnel under your command, and remove the control seal on them, I will treat these letters as if they do not exist."

"Think about it, old man." Said Danzo turned and left.

Tsunade's voice came from behind him: "Before the succession ceremony, I must get an answer"

After recovering from yesterday's discussion, Danzo still didn't wear the ring engraved with "three" on his hand.He always thought that everything he did was for the village.Even if it's sending Kakashi to assassinate Hiruzaru Sarutobi, or contact Akatsuki to assassinate Tsunade.

Because in his opinion, it is in the best interest of the village only if he becomes Hokage.And these two people seriously blocked his way to become Hokage.

However, right now, everything is a foregone conclusion. If he colludes with outsiders, even if he can get rid of Tsunade, the village will be destroyed, which runs counter to his thoughts.

What he didn't know was that the person he wanted to collude with had already arrived in Muye Village, and the target was the ring in his hand and the original owner of the ring.

Outside the village, the funeral has already ended, and those who came to express their condolences dispersed one after another.

Uchiha Congshin, the handsome man in the crowd, suddenly looked at the crowd who followed the crowd to the village entrance, frowning slightly.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked.

Looking at Sasuke from the heart, he said meaningfully: "I seem to see an acquaintance, I am familiar with you, and you are even more familiar."

Sasuke didn't understand the meaning of his words: "Oh, go to practice, it's already been delayed for a whole morning."

Cong Xin shook his head and said, "You can go with Naruto and the others, I still have some things to do, so I won't practice with you today."

After speaking, he ran directly along the crowd to the entrance of the village.

Soon he entered the village, and then wandered around seemingly unintentionally.

Sasuke was a little surprised why Congxin had to use it when he returned to the village this time, didn't he usually use Flying Thunder God?
