Konoha: My Character Card

Chapter 26

The mourning meeting was spent in silence and solemnity, and the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato delivered a heavy and heroic speech to commemorate these heroes who gave their lives for Konoha.

After more than half an hour, everyone left the venue one after another.

Qiu Yi and the other bosses in the first row were the last to leave the arena except for the staff.

Of course, Sanshui, a child who is not a boss, is also included.

Sanshui stood beside Qiu Yi, obediently not speaking.

"Senior Qiuyi, who is this child?"

Among the several powerful Konoha figures present, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the most senior, spoke.

"Master Sandaime, this is one of my juniors."

Shuichi said something to Sarutobi Hiruza, and then stopped talking.

His relationship with these people is only on the surface, but in fact they are just acquaintances.

Hirizan Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura and the others saw that Chiju Akiichi, who usually kept his name incognito and was unwilling to talk too much, brought a child to the mourning meeting today, so they couldn't help but ask a question in surprise.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen got the answer, he nodded, smiled kindly at Sanshui, and left the cemetery.

"Grandpa Qiuyi, is he Mr. Hokage?"

Sanshui asked quietly from the side.

"Well, there are two Hokages, one is the third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the other is the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato."

Qiu Yi replied.

"Don't think too much, they, like us, came to worship these heroes."

Qiu Yi guessed the question that Sanshui might have in mind, but he didn't answer it.

Naturally, he had his reasons for standing in the first row.

As the grave keeper of the Qianshou clan, he not only represents himself, but also those dead souls and wandering clansmen.

It has nothing to do with status, it's just an inherited responsibility.

Not everyone agreed to disband the Thousand Hands Clan back then.

Those who disagreed left Konoha, settled in other places, and inoculated the roots of the Thousand Hands.

Although these people left Konoha, their names were guaranteed to remain in Konoha's history, recorded in the ancestral hall in the backyard of the Qiu family.

Qiu Yi didn't blame these Qianshou people who disobeyed the order of the patriarch and broke away from Konoha, he even had some expectations for these people.

Although people with different philosophies have fierce struggles in philosophies, Qiu is always the same to those people in terms of blood and emotion.

Qiuyi is not a pedantic person. He believes that a group of people can have different ideas, and even live in two places due to constraints.

But as long as the blood is still there, they are still a family.

Qiuyi walked slowly, Sanshui followed quietly.

But it was different from when we came here. Sanshui on the way back had tens of thousands of thoughts in his heart, which were as unclear as a mess.

Life is always full of accidents, but Sanshui never expected that he would meet an ordinary person with noble status.

Qiu Yi is definitely not as weak as his appearance, at least the influence behind him is definitely not something an ordinary old man can have.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen is kind to people, he still has status, and it is impossible to call someone a senior casually.

"Why? Can't you feel at ease when you see Hokage?"

Qiuyi walked to the front of the house, looked back at Sanshui who was immersed in thinking, and joked.

He thought Sanshui was too excited to speak.

After all, Hokage is not an ordinary person. If you want to get in touch with these bosses so closely, ordinary people really don't have the qualifications, at least you have to be a ninja.

"Hey, I didn't expect you, Grandpa Shuichi, to be so unusual. The third Hokage-sama calls you senior."

"Haha, it's just a compliment."

Qiu Yi didn't take it seriously at all, "You have to know, I'm just an ordinary old man, and I'm far from someone like the Third Hokage."

"Lie, Grandpa Qiuyi, you are standing in the first row, and the people standing there are all extraordinary people."

Sanshui ruthlessly dismantled the excuse of being an ordinary old man.

"Hehe, okay, since you asked, then grandpa will tell you why."

For Sanshui's dismantling, Qiu Yi was not unhappy at all, instead, he kindly took Sanshui's hand, walked into the backyard, and opened the dusty ancestral hall.

The heavy wooden door was slammed, and Sanshui stared at these spiritual tablets in astonishment.

"See, these are the heroes of Konoha, and the Third Hokage respects me because of the dedication of these people, and I am nothing in itself."

Qiu Yi said with some nostalgia.

"The reason why I took you to the mourning meeting today is because heroes need to be remembered by people. Even if the danger passes and we usher in the light, we must not forget them."

Listening to Qiu Yi's teaching, Sanshui glanced over the tablet one by one, and now he finally understood why the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was called Senior Qiu Yi.

Qianshou, this famous clan in the Warring States Period.

This has been hostile to Uchiha for many years, and finally defeated Uchiha, ending the strongest ninja during the Warring States period, and also the founder of Konoha.

Qiuyi's real name should be Qianju Qiuyi.

Good guy, isn't the Thousand Hands disbanded?How did you run into me?

Sanshui was overwhelmed by too many things early this morning, and his brain couldn't react.

Qiu Yi took Sanshui into the ancestral hall, cleaned it up slightly, then made a few worships, and took Sanshui back out.

"Okay, Sanshui, thank you for being willing to listen to my old man's nagging. I'm used to being alone all these years, and suddenly someone talking, I can't help it, haha."

Qiu Yi shook his head mockingly at himself. He felt that talking so much to a five-year-old child was counterproductive.

He didn't know why he said so much to Sanshui, maybe it was because he was lonely, but he really liked this child.

Sanshui shook his head resolutely after hearing Qiu Yi's self-deprecating joke.

"Grandpa Qiuyi, I think you are right. We should not forget the dedication of those heroes. I am able to stand here and continue to live because of them."

The movements of Qiu Yi's hands paused, looked at Sanshui, and sighed in his heart.

"What a sensible child."

It's not in vain that he took Sanshui to the mourning meeting today.

That's right, Qiu took Sanshui to the mourning meeting, not just to let him remember the hero, but in fact, it kind of meant going through the back door.

For example, let Hokage remember the child Sanshui, so that he will receive more attention in the ninja school in the future.

Different levels of attention often mean different educational resources. Sometimes even if Sanshui is good enough, without some special connections and assistance, he cannot get into the attention of high-level officials.

Unless Sanshui's excellence can reach the level of Sannin and Fourth Generation, and be appreciated by high-level officials in advance.

But with today's meeting, Sanshui used his identity to enter Hokage's sight for the first time. In this way, Hokage will pay more attention to Sanshui. As long as Sanshui strives for himself, the future resources will continue to increase. assigned to him.

After all, the name Qianshou has more than just a little bit of influence.

A large part of the reason why the Senju Clan was disbanded in the first place was that Senju had too much influence. With Senju around, it seems that others are not qualified to be Hokage.

Senju Hashirama has long been aware of this problem. He doesn't want Konoha to become Senju's Konoha, so he made the layout in advance.

This also led to the disbandment of the Qianshou clan behind, and Konoha broke away from the shackles of Senshou and became Konoha of everyone.

This situation has continued well to this day. From Sarutobi Hiruzen to Namikaze Minato, the position of Hokage is indeed occupied by capable people.

However, there are good and bad things in everything. Konoha's Hokage has just escaped from the restriction of the family, and was imprisoned by the master and apprentice, which is also a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.

It can only be said that political matters cannot be changed at will, and it will definitely be accompanied by camp problems.
