Konoha Hypocrite - Chapter 352: Funeral

Early morning the next day.

Konoha Village, in the memorial square.

The cold winter seemed to come overnight.

The temperature in the entire Konoha plummeted.

The dark clouds on a cloudy day piled up like a thick piece of iron, pressing down heavily in the air.

The snow was as light as smoke, as white as silver, fluttering and fluttering, falling from the sky.

On the ground, a funeral ceremony was being held in front of the memorial tablet.

Under Hiruzen Sarutobi’s arrangements.

A large number of civilians and Ninjas lined up in a few rows, orderly coming to the memorial tablet and offering their own flowers.

Compared to the ninjas who were used to death,

The families of the civilians cried hysterically.

It must be known that many civilians tried their best to move into Konoha after spending a lot of money.

One of the reasons was the safety of Konoha.

But this time, the Kyubi Rebellion caused a large number of civilian casualties.

After everyone was done with the flowers, the next part was the speech session.

This was supposed to be the responsibility of the Hokage, but now that Minato was dead, it was naturally Uchiha Tunan who had the highest prestige and strength to give the speech.

After all, he still had to announce that Hiruzen Sarutobi was the temporary Hokage.

It was only appropriate for Uchiha Tunan to personally announce these words.

He saw that Uchiha Tunan had changed into a white trench coat today. He walked to the memorial tablet filled with flowers, facing everyone.

First, he took a deep breath, as if he was calming the deep sorrow in his heart. Then, he let out a long sigh and said,

” The night before yesterday, Konoha experienced an unprecedented turmoil.

The Kyubi broke the seal, and the 4th Lord and his wife both died.

There were also countless Konoha Ninjas and villagers who died in this turmoil.

Here, I have to tell all the participants of the Kyubi Rebellion.

You guys have worked hard! ”

When he said this, Uchiha Tunan put his hands on his knees and bowed deeply to the crowd.

Everyone lowered their heads, all of them sad and silent.

Half a minute later, Uchiha Tunan straightened up and said with a sad face,

“October 10th, night.

A mysterious man wearing a tiger skin mask sneaked into Konoha.

He released the Kyubi in the body of the jinchuriki who just gave birth.

He even sent the Kyubi to the village, causing a lot of casualties and property loss.”

Then, Uchiha Tunan’s tone gradually became sonorous and forceful, and his voice was full of emotion.

“In the face of such a huge disaster.

All the Ninjas participated in the war, risked their lives, dared to fight, and bravely fought with the Kyubi to the death.

They made an important contribution to the safety of the life of their compatriots.

Some of the Ninjas sacrificed their precious lives.

Burning the will of fire in their hearts with hot blood.

Use action to fulfill the original heart that they never forgot !

In this incident, your heroic feat was fully affirmed by the seniors of Konoha.

they will be highly praised by the villagers of Konoha.

I believe that after this incident spread across the Ninja World.

It would definitely cause a strong response.

Konoha, thanks for you.

The younger generation of Konoha will be proud of you.

I am here to express my sincerest condolences to you on behalf of all the leaders of Konoha, as well as the highest level of respect.”

Uchiha Tunan once again bowed deeply to the crowd with his hands on his knees.

The people of this world had never heard such an official speech before.

Speeches like this are shocking at first, disgusting at second, and drowsy after.

The Konoha Ninjas who were immersed in the pain of their companions dying began to have fighting spirit in their eyes again.

They clenched their fists, their faces flushed, and they were extremely excited.

In front of the crowd, Danzo’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he whispered to Hiruzen Sarutobi beside him,

“This guy is much stronger than you.”

When Hiruzen Sarutobi heard this, he nodded in agreement and said in a low voice,

“I watched him grow up.

When he was a child, he liked to read books. It was normal for him to be more cultured than me.

However, in terms of the will of fire, I have to be better at it. ”

Uchiha Tunan continued,

“The moment the Nine-tailed Rebellion happened, it attracted the attention of the higher-ups of various departments in Konoha.

They were all very concerned about Konoha’s heroes who were fighting on the first line.

Especially the 3rd Hokage and sir Danzo. Although they were old, they still organized their forces in the first place.

Even in times of danger, they fought side by side with everyone and rushed to the front line to protect Konoha.

They made Konoha’s anti-attack force condense into one, and they were really organized and disciplined in the face of danger.

Here, I want to thank the 3rd and sir Danzo.”

Uchiha Tunan immediately turned around and bowed deeply to Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo who were standing in front of the crowd.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo nodded slightly without any expression on their faces.

In their hearts, they were calling out, “This kid is really sensible.”

After bowing, Uchiha Tunan moved to the side and slowly placed his right hand on his chest. He looked at the memorial tablet and said,

“This time, the one who contributed the most to the chaos of the nine tails was naturally the fourth hokage.

Unfortunately, the heavens were jealous of the talented.

The fourth and his wife both died at the hands of the mysterious man.

The Kage of the great Ninja World’s First Ninja Village was killed in the village.

This is a great humiliation!

We will definitely take revenge.

But not now.

Right now, it was the time when the world of ninjas was in a precarious situation.

Konoha has experienced such a disaster for the third time, and it can’t stand it anymore. ”

Seeing the expression on Uchiha Tunan’s face, he raised his hands and said,

“Here, I hope that everyone will use the kindness and concern of the senior generation of Konoha as motivation to turn the grief of the sacrifice of their companions into power.

The continuous development of the will of fire, which is particularly good at fighting, particularly able to endure hardships, and is particularly good at contributing.

Keep in mind the heavy trust, do not disgrace the mission, and properly recuperate.

This is to comfort the souls of the deceased.

Do not disappoint the expectations of the villagers. ”

As soon as his voice fell, the group of Konoha Ninjas seemed to be injected with vigor and shouted,

“I won’t let down the villagers’ expectations.”

“I won’t let down the villagers’ expectations.”

“I won’t let down the villagers’ expectations.”

……

After the shouting stopped, Uchiha Tunan waved to the side.

An old granny with a head full of white hair came to the memorial tablet with the help of an Anbu.

The old granny couldn’t help but burst out in emotions as soon as she reached the memorial tablet. She kept stomping on the cane in her hand and cried out,

“Iwatobi, my good grandson.”

When everyone saw this, they were all overcome with sorrow and tears trickled down.

Uchiha Tunan raised his head, and the bandage on his eyes was soaked.

Then he walked forward, grabbed the old woman’s arm, and comforted her:

“Grandma, don’t cry.

In the future, the juniors of Konoha will be your grandchildren.

You must take good care of yourself.”

After saying that, he simply hugged the old granny and patted her back, comforting her non-stop.

He allowed the old granny’s tears to wet his chest.

At this moment, everyone present saw Uchiha Tunan’s approachable and soft side.

After all, most people had only heard of Uchiha Tunan’s various legends.

And a small number of people had only seen Uchiha Tunan fight from afar.

Although the coverage of the Konoha Village was enough, Uchiha Tunan still needed to polish his character.

He had to avoid the villager to view him like Uchiha Madara, he needs them to see him like they saw Hashirama Senju.

When Uchiha Tunan felt that the show was almost done, he gently held the old granny up and handed her over to the Anbu Group who was waiting for orders.

Then, he let out a long sigh and turned around to face the crowd.

“Most of the people who came here today are like the old granny, belonging to the families of the martyrs.

Money is just a worldly possession, so you can earn more if you lose it.

However, people are different. Once they were gone, they could no longer be seen.

We could see that there were many names added to the tablet.

Whose father were they, whose husband, and whose son were they?

One more name represented the pain of one more family.

Here, I want to talk to the families of the martyrs.

Konoha is a Ninja Village.

The development, progress, and achievements of the Ninja Village.

It is inseparable from the concern, understanding, and support of your family members.

Not only do you have to silently suffer the mental pain of losing your loved ones.

In the future, you have to overcome unimaginable difficulties and pressure.

Here, the higher ups of the various departments of Konoha have discussed, and in addition to the pension, they will also provide you with a certain degree of preferential treatment.

Konoha will not forget any of the outstanding contributions of the martyrs, and will not forget the selfless contributions of the family members.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a series of sounds from the crowd.

“Sniff…”

“I just slipped out of the house when the house suddenly collapsed. My husband also died…”

“Miya, don’t be sad. If the house collapses, so be it. My house will be your home in the future.”

“They said that my father was burned to death by the mysterious man.”

“My wife was trampled to death by the hateful Kyubi when she was running away.”

….

After a long time, the sound of mourning gradually became softer.

Uchiha Tunan took out a tissue from his pocket, pulled up the bandage, turned around and wiped it.

Then, he took a deep breath, straightened his expression, turned around, and said in a clear voice,

“Everyone, please restrain your grief and come out of your sorrow as soon as possible. Look forward.

Today, I have to announce one more thing.”

Speaking up to here, Uchiha Tunan paused.

The leaders of the Ninja Clan and the higher-ups of Konoha stared at Uchiha Tunan.

Naturally, everyone guessed what Uchiha Tunan was going to announce.

For these people, no matter how many people died, they would not be able to move their emotions.

Only things that were related to benefits were worth their concern.

Uchiha Tunan solemnly said,

“4th generation died, and the position of Hokage is vacant.

The village can not be hidden forever.

However, 4th generation had just taken office for a year, so it was not suitable for electing the 5th.

Therefore, after the discussion of the higher-ups, we have unanimously decided that the experienced 3rd generation will temporarily assume the post of Hokage.

Next, the third Hokage would like to speak with all of you.”

After saying that, Uchiha Tunan retreated to the side. Hiruzen Sarutobi walked out from the crowd and arrived in front of the memorial tablet.

When the clan leaders saw that Hiruzen Sarutobi had become a Hokage again, they all had different expressions.

This was especially true for Uchiha Fugaku. He stared fixedly at Uchiha Tunan, his face full of confusion.

It had been known that from the moment the Nine-tail Chaos happened until now, the entire clan of Uchiha had been placed under house arrest within the clan territory.

Even in this mourning assembly, only the clan head, Uchiha, Fugaku, participated.

There had yet to be any discordant sounds within the clan of Uchiha because this time, Uchiha Tunan’s prestige was too great.

Everyone thought that Uchiha Tunan would succeed as the 5th Hokage.

But now, it was Hiruzen Sarutobi who became the Hokage again.

Uchiha Fugaku was keenly aware that something was wrong.

“Cough cough.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed twice, took a deep breath, and spoke in a clear voice,

“In the land where Konoha is flying, the fire is endless.

…………………”

As expected, although the content of Hiruzen Sarutobi’s speech this time was carefully prepared, it was still just changing the soup and not change the medicine.

Fortunately, the education of Konoha Ninjas was not too high, and they were still affected by Hiruzen Sarutobi’s speech.

By the time Hiruzen Sarutobi finished his speech, it was already close to noon.

“The mourning ceremony will end here.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, we will hold a Ninja Clan Meeting.

Please come to the Hokage’s building.”

After the mourning ceremony, everyone left the memorial tablet one after another.

Uchiha Tunan had just walked out of the memorial square when he was grabbed by Uchiha Fugaku who had caught up with him.

Uchiha Tunan turned around and said with a puzzled face, “Mr. Fugaku, what’s the matter?”

Uchiha Fugaku looked around and immediately said with a serious expression,

“Tunan, why is the new Hokage the 3rd?

Now that your legs have recovered, and with your status as jinchuriki, you can succeed as the 5th Hokage.

Is there something wrong with this?”

Uchiha Tunan shook his head and said,

“Didn’t I tell you the specific reason just now?

The 4th Hokage has only been in office for a year, yet 5th Hokage is about to appear in Konoha.

It’s not good to hear about it.

We have to think about Konoha’s reputation. ”

However, Uchiha Fugaku was not so easy to fool. He grabbed Uchiha Tunan’s arm and said in a low voice, “That’s not a reason.”

What if a lie can’t fool people?

Then it would be matched with a proper demeanor and tone, and another lie.

Uchiha Tunan’s expression changed slightly, and he pondered for a long time before he slowly said,

“This matter is very complicated.

First, the masked man from that night was determined to be a member of Uchiha.

Second, the Hokage handled too many affairs every day.

My eyes are blind. If I want to print documents, I need to use perception ninjutsu at all times.

Although I survived by luck, my chakra was actually nine tails, not mine.

I can’t tell you the details.

I hope you don’t think too much about it, and don’t tell anyone. ”

Uchiha Fugaku listened to the clouds and mists, only to hear that Uchiha Tunan could not succeed the five generations of Hokage because he was implicated by that mysterious man.

Moreover, there seemed to be a problem with Uchiha Tunan.

“Is…. that so?”

That was true. After all, Tunan had truly died back then.

The resurrection of a dead person would definitely have some flaws.

However, who was that mysterious person?

Uchiha Fugaku frowned as he wanted to clear up Uchiha Tunan’s doubts.

However, since the other party had already said that it was not good to go into detail, it was not good to continue asking.

He could only rely on himself to slowly guess.

Seeing that he had managed to stabilize Fugaku, Uchiha Tunan whispered with a serious face,

“Take advantage of the time now to inform the clansmen.

In the evening, we will hold a Clan Assembly at the Southern Shrine.”

Uchiha Fugaku was still in a daze, but seeing Uchiha Tunan’s serious expression, he guessed that something big had happened.

He immediately said with a serious face, “Okay, I will go back and inform my clansmen immediately.”
