The great swordsman who started from Konoha

Chapter 104 Funeral
In Konoha Prison, a member of Anbu took a lunch box and walked to the deepest cell, pushed open the loose leaf on the iron door, and put the lunch box on it.

"Is it dawn again? Today, it should be Sarutobi-sensei's funeral, right?"

In the closed cell, a hoarse voice came, the voice paused, and said: "Please tell Xin Yu-jun, after the funeral is over, I also want to see Teacher Sarutobi."

Anbe didn't answer, put down the lunch box, opened it, and left the place.In the cell without a gleam of light, Orochimaru sat on the simple wooden bed and did not eat the meal sent by Anbe.He has already experimented in the past few days, whether he eats or not, only affects his hunger and satiety, and has no effect on his body.

At this moment, Orochimaru's original golden pupils were covered with countless bloodshot eyes, and he was immersed in pain for several days in a row. He couldn't even be calm, let alone sleep.Listening to Anbu's footsteps going away, Orochimaru forced himself to close his eyes. Although he couldn't fall asleep, closing his eyes made him feel better.

Immortality is what Orochimaru pursues, and now, with the help of Hatake Shinu, he has become the existence of "immortality", but his mood is not beautiful at this time, he begins to understand that death is a kind of The word grace.

In Konoha Village, it was raining lightly at this time, and the whole Konoha Village seemed very quiet. The civilians and ninjas put on black kimonos or other dark clothes, holding flowers or other offerings, and slowly walked towards Konoha Village. Walk to the park.

It is said to be Konoha Park, but it is actually more like a Konoha cemetery. Although it is also densely covered with green plants, the black comfort monument in the middle is full of the names of Konoha ninjas, and there are many small tombstones beside it. Many of the engraved seals on it were big ninjas who once became famous in Konoha.

The residence of the Hatake clan was still deserted, and the father and son all changed into black kimonos, other than that, there was no decoration.Even Hatake Shinyu, who never left his sword, didn't plan to take Shigu Jinshi and Amamuramo out of the house today.

The last thing that should appear at a funeral is a weapon.

The three of them were in front of the door, and each took their own ninja foreheads. Unlike Hatake Shinyu and Kakashi's foreheads, Hatake Sakumo's foreheads were severely worn, and even the Konoha village emblem in the middle Both are somewhat blurry.

The three of them put the forehead protectors on their foreheads, checked their appearance, and walked towards Konoha Park.The moment Kakashi walked out of the house again, he took a black umbrella and propped it up to cover Sakumo Hatake, ignoring that his little body was soaked by the light rain.

Hatake Shinyu didn't take an umbrella, nor did he hide in the coverage of Kakashi's umbrella. For him, rain was the thing he was most familiar with.

In the slanting wind and drizzle, the three of them walked slowly, occasionally meeting acquaintances, everyone nodded and did not talk too much.When passing by the small shop opened by Ino's family in the mountains, I took a few bunches of words from Ino, and tied the yellow chrysanthemum and white chrysanthemum together.

Today, the flower shop of the Yamanaka family is open to the whole village. In order to pay homage to Hiruzaru Sarutobi and other Konoha ninjas, they do not charge money.Hatake Shingure didn't specialize either, and handed the flowers to Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi respectively, and continued on their way to Konoha Park.

When Xinyu Hatake and the others came to the park, the place was already full of people, but everyone was quiet and did not walk around casually. Even children who were only a few years old were repeatedly urged by their parents before going out.

Seeing Hatake Shingu's arrival, the crowd automatically parted a passage. As the new Hokage, Hatake Shingu needed to be the first to present flowers today, but the time hadn't come yet, so he just walked in and stood next to Sima.

Hatake Xinyu scanned the surroundings, but did not find Jiraiya, probably hiding by himself.

After a while, more and more people came, and the twelve little strongmen also arrived at the scene one after another. When there were only a few minutes left before the funeral, Kaiichi Yamanaka also brought Ino to the scene.

The funeral ceremony was also very simple, with three black stone tablets lined up in a zigzag shape, with a photo of Sarutobi Hiruzen in the middle and a brief introduction.The two stone tablets on both sides record the Konoha ninjas and civilians who died in this incident.

When the time came, Xinyu Hatake stood up. As Hokage, it was time for him to give a speech for the funeral.

"Everyone, today is an ordinary day, and it is also the most extraordinary day. Today, we can still wake up from our beds, and today, many people sleep here.

In the past few days, we have experienced many things, wars, victories, grief, and joy. We are very fortunate that we are still alive and well, and we are also very fortunate that Konoha is intact.But we have also lost many people, including the most familiar third-generation Hokage-sama, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and even the only hope in the family.

They are also the ones who guard our lives with their lives.

Where the Konoha dances, the fire is endlessly alive. This is the way of ninja that the Third Hokage-sama has practiced throughout his life, and it is also his hope for the living. Therefore, he is willing to turn into a Konoha, burn himself, and light our way forward .I believe that all the heroic spirits engraved on the stele are willing to be the light that illuminates our way forward.

I hope that we will leave our sorrow today, and from tomorrow onwards, we will no longer disappoint the dead.I also hope that their death can inspire us, bring us courage and motivation, and continue on. "

When he said this, Hatake Shinyu turned around and patted the black stone tablet, ending his eulogy.

"I hope our lives are as strong as this stele."

After finishing his speech, Hatake Shinyu bowed slightly to all the ninjas and civilians who came to the scene, then turned around, bowed to the three steles respectively, and offered the flowers in his hands. Ninja forehead, placed next to the offering flowers.

After Hatake Shingu made a speech and presented flowers, other people also began to come forward to offer flowers. The ninjas imitated Hatake Shingu's movements and put their ninja protectors down in front of the Sarutobi Hiruzen Monument.

The funeral was very long, and almost everyone in Konoha Village came. Even Anbu worked shifts in batches today to give them time to mourn the dead.

Hatake Xinyu didn't stay for too long, he walked to the depths of the park, where there were the tombstones of the dead and the monuments of the war that had been set up before.

As expected, Kakashi mourned his teammates and teacher there, and together with Kakashi, wiped the dust and rain on the memorial monument without saying a word.

When night came, Konoha's streets became prosperous again, and many businesses had resumed business at this time. In a tavern, a burly figure stumbled out, it was Ziraiya.

Jiraiya did not show up at the funeral today, but stayed in this tavern and drank all day.During the day, the store owner saw that it was Jiraiya, so he didn't even bother to lock the door. He threw Jiraiya in the tavern and went to Konoha Park to attend the funeral by himself.

And Jiraiya, who was drunk and wandered out, finally reached Konoha Park in the dead of night. Under the persuasion of Anbe members, everyone had already left here. The tombstone has a radius of one kilometer, and there are no people there.

Jilai also sat alone in front of the monument, just sitting quietly.

Not long after, another figure also came here, and there were several shadows watching behind him.

"Oshemaru, are you here?"
