Xu Zuren in Hokage

On the night after the attack, two uninvited guests came outside the village of Konoha. They wore hats on their heads, and their faces could not be seen clearly. They were both wearing black coats, and their clothes were fluttering in the wind.

They looked down at the village from a high place and had a panoramic view of the situation in Konoha Village.

The tall man said playfully to his companion next to him: "Is this the village you grew up in? Now it's like this. I'm curious about your thoughts."

The person next to him lowered his hat, and his red eyes could still be clearly seen in the darkness.

He said coldly: "I don't have any ideas, but now it seems that Konoha's losses are not as great as imagined. Seeing that their command is not chaotic at all and their work is in order, it seems that now is not the right time."

His tone was calm, without any ups and downs. He was just analyzing the situation he saw rationally. It seemed that he had come to a familiar place, and it did not cause any ripples in his calm heart.

The tall man had become accustomed to his companion's cold tone and didn't take it seriously at all. He responded: "Okay, it does seem like that. And I heard that Jiraiya among the three is still in the village and has not left. Not now." The right time, oh, it’s really disappointing. I thought I could do something big and complete the task. Now it seems that I can only look for opportunities to start again."

"Let's go..."

The two figures immediately disappeared into the darkness.

Although Konoha successfully resisted this invasion, due to the sudden incident, even if there was a slight defense before, Suna Ninja and Orochimaru had made sufficient preparations before, and the loss to the village this time was still huge.

There is also a lot of aftermath work after the war. Whether it is dealing with the wounded, rescuing villagers or repairing the lost buildings in the village, a lot of manpower is needed, so everyone in the village is busy.

Genin like Naruto have been captured to do hard labor. He has abundant chakra and can produce multiple shadow clones. He can create dozens or hundreds of shadow clones to work together, making him the perfect choice for the aftermath.

Even Xiang Lin, who had just studied, was sent to do some auxiliary work to take care of the wounded. No one in the whole village was idle, everyone was busy working.

Not to mention the Third Hokage, the leader of a village, who was extremely busy all day long.

You have to go to comfort the relatives of the casualties. This is the best time to unite people's hearts. You can't do without him.

To appease the frightened daimyo and the nobles of various countries, he came forward to explain this incident. No one except him was qualified to handle it.

He also needs to arrange people for the aftermath work and the release of tasks. The Third Hokage is indispensable for any of these tasks.

At the end of the day, he had very little time to rest. Not to mention an old man, even an energetic young man couldn't stand such high-intensity work.

Jin Feiyu is helpless. Even if he wants to help, he can't do much. Now he is the most leisurely person in the village, just doing some patrolling around the village.

But no matter how many things happen, they will always be dealt with. It has been some time since the collapse of Konoha, and the aftermath has almost been dealt with. Whether you want to face it or not, it is time to hold the funeral of the victims.

Every time there is a major event, the victims will hold a funeral together, not only to comfort the deceased and express their grief, but also to unite people's hearts and make the villagers more united.

The weather was not very good that day. It had been gloomy since the morning, which made people feel a little heavier unconsciously.

In the small square in front of the Memorial Monument, there were densely packed ninjas in black clothes. Ninjas who did not have important tasks were probably here. There were about five or six hundred people. Although there were many people, none of them made a sound. Waiting quietly in place.

The person presiding over the funeral was undoubtedly the Third Hokage. Although he was tired from the busy work these days, he was indispensable for such an occasion.

The Third Hokage looked solemn, holding the list of victims in his hand, and spoke in a calm and slightly sad voice. The voice was not very loud, but everyone below could hear it clearly.

Soon the names of the victims were read out. It was just a name, but it represented every living person in the past. They might be someone's husband or someone's father, but now they just become They became cold corpses and characters on memorial tablets.

The Third Hokage looked at the sad expressions of everyone below and slowly said: "They were once our colleagues and our relatives, but in order to protect their homeland from being invaded and for their relatives not to suffer, they chose to fight without hesitation. The backs of their return They are so tall and tall, so majestic and resolute. Their bodies may die, but their heroic souls will never perish. As long as there is still a Konoha person in this moonlit world, their names will not be forgotten."

"As long as there are leaves flying, fire will burn. The fire will illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout. Although they left, they left us precious things. This is the inheritance of the will of fire. This is It is also the greatest wealth we have inherited in Konoha so far.”

Jin Feiyu did not attend the funeral, but watched from a distance. Jiraiya came to his side and looked at the silent Jin Feiyu. He did not speak, sat beside him, and looked up. Gloomy sky.

Jin Feiyu shook his head and laughed at himself: "It's strange. Although I don't know those people, have no contact with them in life, and don't even know their names, I still feel some inexplicable discomfort. I am too It’s too sentimental.”

Jiraiya replied: "Because everyone's personality and outlook on life are different, different people will have different opinions on one thing. For example, Orochimaru, when he saw today's scene, he just You will lament the cruelty of war and the fragility of life, and you feel this way because of your sense of identity."

"Does this have anything to do with a sense of identity?" Jin Feiyu was puzzled.

"You feel sad for dying for someone from the same village who you have not even had any contact with. This means that you agree with their spirit and the things they would rather sacrifice their lives to protect. Maybe one day you will do the same thing as them. Choice." Jiraiya explained.

"Then you are wrong. Even if, as you said, my emotions are due to that sense of identity, I will not do what they do."

Jin Feiyu doesn't think he is the kind of person who is willing to sacrifice his life to protect something. In his opinion, the most precious thing in the world is his life. Everything else is unimportant. He only has one life and he will never do it. Give up easily.

Jiraiya replied: "That's not necessarily true. Maybe they had the same idea as you before, but at a certain moment, they rushed forward without hesitation."
