People are in Konoha, the start level is full

In the small town on the northern border of the Country of Fire, since it is not far from the tragic battlefields of the Country of Rain, it is occasionally attacked by ninjas from the enemy country.Therefore, after dark, every household closes the door tightly and no one goes out.

It was getting dark at this time, but there was a middle-aged man with black hair and a fierce face walking alone on the empty street, with his hands behind his back.

"Ok?"

His ears moved and he heard some movement from behind.

Not long after, a subordinate wearing a cat-face mask appeared behind him.

"Master Danzo!"

This black-haired middle-aged man is clearly Danzo - the current Hokage assistant of Konoha and the commander-in-chief of the northern battlefield.

He turned around and asked indifferently: "What's the matter?"

The masked subordinate knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and reported: "I have received news that Kurama Kenichi, the patriarch of the Kurama family, has passed away."

"Kurama Kenichi is dead?"

A look of surprise flashed through Danzo's one eye, but he quickly calmed down and asked expressionlessly: "When did it happen? How did you die?"

"This afternoon, around five o'clock, Kurama Jianyi gathered his clan members at home and entrusted him with funeral arrangements. He claimed that he didn't have much time left. Then he stood up and seemed to lose his balance and fell to the ground. When the Kurama clan members came to check, he had already passed away. "

The masked subordinate spoke calmly and reported in detail.

Shimura Danzo stood there and pondered for a long time before waving his subordinates to leave.

"To think he died so early."

He frowned, turned around and walked towards his temporary residence deep in a dark alley nearby.

Kurama Kenichi was the secret hand he used to counter the Uchiha family.

Although the old man's Blood Succession Illusion Technique is quite troublesome to perform, as long as it is prepared in advance, a large-scale illusion can be constructed that can cover the entire Uchiha family territory.

Only Uchiha who opens the Sharingan in advance can prevent himself from falling into genjutsu.However, Danzo would not give these Uchiha a chance to take precautions.Once he makes up his mind to attack the Uchiha family, he will naturally kill them with one strike and complete his victory in one battle.

Therefore, Kurama Kenichi is of strategic value to Danzo.

The last time he had contact with Kurama Kenichi was half a year ago.At that time, the old man told him that there were already descendants in the Kurama family who had awakened to the limits of blood succession.

According to Kurama Kenichi's estimation, the descendant will be able to cultivate Idu within three years, and he also plans to use the "Jin of Phantom Reincarnation" to seize the body of the descendant three years later.

"Kurama Kenichi will never die without warning. Although I don't know why his plan was so far in advance, he must have used the [Jetana Reincarnation Technique] to seize the young body of his descendant. .”

Danzo Shimura narrowed his one eye and judged in his mind.

He was not interested in the changes. It was simply that the younger generation of the family, Idu, had matured ahead of schedule, or that the old man's plan had been accidentally discovered.

No matter what, as long as this Kurama Kenichi is still alive.

And based on the clues reported by his previous subordinates, he could easily determine the fact that Kurama Kenichi was still alive.

If not, how could he have summoned his clansmen to explain the funeral affairs? He was obviously prepared.

And from this alone, he could infer two derivative possibilities.

The first possibility is that after Kurama Kenichi was reincarnated, he arranged his residence as an illusion, then summoned his tribe members and pretended to die on the spot.

The second possibility is to fake death first, and then reincarnate and replace the body.

"Hmph, he is indeed a cunning old fox. If I hadn't known his true face in advance, I really wouldn't have seen anything wrong with him."

Thinking of this, Shimura Danzo showed a faint smile that he had not seen for a long time. He was as calm as he was and felt proud that he had seen through the truth of this matter.

……

a few days later.

The sky in Konoha Hidden Village was covered with clouds, and drizzle was constantly falling.

This is the most disgusting wet and cold weather in winter, and this bad weather is just like the mood of the Kurama family members at this time.

The place of the Kurama family and the family ancestral hall.

The clansmen who received the news of the clan leader's death, all dressed in black mourning clothes and black raincoats, gathered here to attend the clan leader's funeral.

In the center of this ancestral hall, which usually accommodates tribesmen for meetings and sacrifices, stands a heavy black coffin.

This is the coffin containing Kurama Kenichi's body.

Directly in front of the coffin, there was a long table with a black and white portrait of Kurama Kenichi placed on it.

The funeral was presided over by an elderly family elder.

The newly promoted young clan leader Kurama Mio was also standing in front of the stage, being led by another clan elder.

"To express our condolences to the clan leader, Kurama Kenichi, who has always devoted himself to the family, we gather here..."

The old elder looked solemnly and recited a eulogy to the grieving tribesmen.

Kurama Mio, who was standing aside, couldn't help but shed tears and sobbed softly.

"Cheer up, Miss Mio. After the inheritance ceremony is held in a few days, you will be the official clan leader of our Kurama clan. You can't lose your composure." The clan elder who was holding him quickly comforted him upon seeing this.

"Ah."

Kurama Mio wiped her face with her hands, nodded her head, and choked in a low voice: "Mio knows that this is Grandpa's expectation... Uh-huh... Mio... Mio will not let Grandpa down."

The clan elder touched her head and showed a pleased expression: "Good child."

Kurama Yan stood on the edge of the crowd with a sad face, holding a bouquet of white flowers in his hand, waiting to go up and offer condolences.

At this time, a male ninja with pale skin and also wearing black mourning clothes silently walked to his side and stood side by side with him.

"Teacher Orochimaru." Kuramayan glanced at him.

He remembered that this snake had no friendship with the patriarch of his family, and he did not expect that it would come to attend the funeral of the patriarch.You definitely didn't come here specifically because you wanted to give him a few words of chicken soup for your soul.

"No, Orochimaru has seen my 'perfect body', how could he be so arrogant as to want to instill his nonsense theory into me? Perhaps he has always thought that I, as the reincarnation of the 'Six Paths Sage', have no idea about eternal life. You will learn some of the secrets."

"And this time, with such a good opportunity, he will definitely test it with words, hoping that I can reveal a few words to him." Kurama Yan judged silently.

"This is life. Even if you don't die in the tragic battlefield, and you are lucky enough to escape various unexpected disasters and terminal epidemics, it will only last for a few decades after all."

Orochimaru looked at the coffin in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's really started..."

Kurama Yan understood in his heart, but still had a sad expression on his face, staring intently at the black and white portrait of the clan leader in front of him.

"Perhaps this short life is meaningless."

Orochimaru then sighed.

"It's my turn." Kurama Yan said calmly.

"Ok?"

Orochimaru was stunned, but saw Kurama Yan walking straight ahead.

So he followed suit, and together with Kurama Yan, he presented the white flowers in his hands and placed them gently on the table.
