Chapter 172 The end of the past,
the third day after the night of the Kyuubi begins again.
early morning.
The weather is cloudy.
In the early morning of autumn, the wind blowing on people's faces not only carries a hint of mist, but also a hint of coolness.
Feiniao walked out of the house dressed in black, feeling the slight coolness outside, and looked up at the street ahead.
After the destruction of the Nine Tails, the clan is no longer what it was before.
The big trees on both sides of the street were swaying and cut off. Due to the lack of personnel to deal with them, they still fell beside the street. The leaves of these fallen trees turn yellow faster than those of surrounding large trees.
clatter! clatter! clatter!
There was a burst of messy, heavy footsteps all around. After Asuka lowered his head and was silent for a moment, he turned and walked towards the direction of Nanga Shrine.
Madara Uchiha's identity was made up by the Great Elder, Elder Ryoichi and others, and he became an old man who survived the Warring States Period of his family. Because he couldn't stand the alliance between the family and the Senju, he ran away from home in anger.
He had been wandering in the ninja world in the past, and only the Great Elder knew that he was still alive. However, in the past six months, he returned here because he felt that his life span had expired.
"This reason really has no loopholes!"
There are so many old people in the ninja world. An old man who has not taken action for decades and just lives in seclusion alone. No matter how hard outsiders search, they can't find any trace of his existence.
Suddenly
Feiniao felt his ears itching.
"Fei Fei, have you noticed that your behavior has been strange recently?" The
orange cat that had just finished licking its ears paused. It stared at the wet marks on Asuka's ears, and then secretly glanced at Yu Zhi, who was dressed in black around him. The Bo tribesman narrowed his eyes and whispered in a soft voice.
"Do you believe that I am helping you Uchiha, or do you believe that I licked it casually?"
Seeing the fat cat talking nonsense in a serious manner, Feiniao stretched out his hand and rubbed its head vigorously, feeling bad.
"Every time you talk nonsense, your beard will tremble subconsciously."
Is there any?
Sticking out his tongue and licking his beard, the orange cat curled his lips, and his consciousness sank in again, and he went to find Kushina to cultivate feelings.
When he arrived at Nanga Shrine, many people wearing black clothes had gathered there.
Glancing at the Uchiha clan emblem behind them, Asuka went straight to the old man Ryoichi who was standing in front of the team. Looking at the sad old man, his eyes fell on the red box in the other man's hand.
They didn't find Madara Uchiha's body, but they did find some clothes that he wore daily.
At this memorial service, only his daily clothes were stuffed into a box and then buried in Nanga Shrine.
"Is Quan Nai buried here too?"
Hearing the birds muttering to themselves, the great elder couldn't help but look up at the gloomy sky and said slowly after learning all the situation.
"No one knows where Senna's grave or body is."
As time went by, more and more people came around and gradually filled the entire square of Nanga Shrine. They looked at Nanga sitting on the ground in front of them. He Shensha slowly lowered his head.
They don’t know that person’s name, they don’t know that person’s identity, and they don’t know that person’s life story.
All I know is
that when the family was about to be destroyed, that person stood up like a hero and pulled them back from the edge of despair.
Under the filter of this kind of life-saving grace, they have automatically beautified that image in their hearts.
All the mistakes are not worth this life-saving grace.
A sense of sadness instantly filled the sky above Nanga Shrine.
Everyone around them raised their heads at the same time, looking at Nanga Shrine with sad eyes. Asuka seemed to feel something, and he also looked up at Nanga Shrine in front of him.
Watching Ryoichi walking toward the shrine with the box in his arms, he couldn't help but feel a little complicated when he thought about Uchiha Madara's life.
[The patriarch who didn’t want to protect the family protected the family, but his thoughts never changed. ]
[The clansmen who once abandoned their clan leader are now holding a memorial service for their hero, silently praying, hoping that their hero can rest in peace in the pure land and bless the future of Uchiha. ]
Quite ironic! !
"Izuna."
Asuka muttered to himself as he looked up at the sky above Nanga Shrine.
"Your brother was fulfilling your last wish until the moment he died."
After the memorial service, Asuka and others had no time to change their clothes, and hurried towards the cemetery at the other end of the village as if they were rushing to a scene.
There was more than one memorial service today, there was also one for Namikaze Minato.
Phew~
A gust of autumn wind blew by, making the trees in the cemetery rustle.
The orange cat squatting at Asuka's feet also lowered his head at this time, the expression on his face was sadder than that of the people around him. When the unsuspecting people next to him saw this scene, a hint of sadness flashed in their eyes.
They are worse than a cat.
"Kushina-sama, don't cry, don't cry."
At this time, in the consciousness space. The orange cat patted Kushina's head and comforted her.
"You have to know that people can still live after death. Didn't you see the scene in the laboratory yesterday?"
Thinking of Uchiha Madara sitting cross-legged on a chair, constantly pouring chicken soup for the soul into another person, with a frustrated look on his face Seeing this, Kushina's eyes couldn't help but dim.
[The dead people do not want their souls to be disturbed.
Now that they have left the world of the living, they have completed their mission in this life. They have gained relief and comfort and no longer need any form of interruption.
The living should respect the dead and respect their privacy and space.
You living people, don't make your own decisions on behalf of the dead. 】
This was all said by Uchiha Madara himself yesterday.
She was pessimistic about Minato's willingness to be resurrected in the future, now that a dead man had come forward to speak out.
The thoughts of a person after death may be somewhat different from those of a living person.
Uchiha Madara, who once dominated the ninja world, was so resistant to resurrection. When
Minato
thought of Minato whose soul was sealed into the God of Death, Kushina's eyes dimmed again.
Besides, the place where Minato's soul and his own soul went were not the same place.
After a long silence, when Kushina raised her head again, the scene in front of her had changed.
"Conference room?"
At this time.
I saw that the conference room was already full of ninjas.
There was a long table placed due north, with four old men sitting on it, and opposite the four old men, there were all the Jounin of Konoha.
These people stared intently at the four old men above, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Koharu, Mito Kaden, and Danzo Shimura, with serious expressions. They probably had some guesses about the content of this meeting.
There is no more "shadow" in Konoha.
At this time, a light cough came from above. Danzo Shimura stood up first, looked at the jounin below, and said in a low voice.
"The Fourth Hokage, at the end of his life, saved the Nine-Tails and sealed it."
Hearing these words, these serious-looking Jonin couldn't help but sigh in their minds as they thought of the Fourth Hokage.
This was the best news they had heard in a while.
Danzo had a panoramic view of the expressions of the people below, then he glanced at the old man next to him and continued.
"[Jiraiya] rejected the Hokage's appointment, and the village has sent people to contact Tsunade. What we can do now is to take care of the village for the new Hokage before he takes office." At this point, the
group Zang paused, and his mind suddenly pictured him taking over the taken care of the village from everyone, and then wearing a Hokage hat, standing on the roof of the Hokage building, looking down at the villagers of Konoha below.
Based on his understanding of Tsunade, there was absolutely no way that person would return to the village to serve as Hokage. Without his own invitation, the other party might not even return to the village.
Who else could take the position of Hokage other than me?
Then, he secretly glanced at Hiruzen, who was in a daze, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"Ever since Minato became the Fourth Hokage, Hiruzen's mentality has completely changed from his identity as Hokage. Now that he has suddenly experienced something like this, there is such a big hole in himself. He cannot sit in the position of Hokage."
Glancing at Asuka with the corner of his eye, Danzo shook his head even more when he thought of the Uchiha clan's brain circuitry that was different from ordinary people, and that Asuka's brain circuitry was different from the Uchiha's.
"There are people in the younger generation of the Uchiha family who can resist the tripod, but there is something wrong with his brain. No one in the entire Konoha Village can rest assured, including his clan members." When his eyes fell on Uchiha Fugaku, his eyes changed
. Congeal.
As the leader of a clan, Danzo did not believe that things outside the clan leader's control were happening one after another.
This guy must know something.
Thinking of the Great Wooden Buddha that appeared on the night of the Kyuubi and the disappearance of his right-hand assistant [A], his eyes kept wandering back and forth between the Three Generations and Fugaku.
The compensation given to Uchiha can be postponed for a while, but after taking charge, there is something that cannot be postponed.
Uchiha Fugaku, he wants to do it.
"I have to think about things from the position of the Hokage!!"
Danzo glanced at Asuka unintentionally. The entire Uchiha family had a very bad relationship with the patriarch's family.
Uchiha Asuka is powerful in his own right, but has a bad relationship with the clan leader's family, and he relies on Uchiha Ryoichi.
It would be a pity not to take advantage of such a guy.
Advocate for divorce? ?
