Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird!

The third generation's speech was not very long, but it also described Lu and Daisy's lifetime achievements and contributions to Konoha.

Mourning for the deceased, expectations for the future, and comfort for the living.

After that, he was the first to pray solemnly to the two newly engraved names on the memorial tablet.

Then, one after another ninjas whispered softly in front of the monument.

Most presented a white flower.

Uchiha Shisui presented a bouquet of intertwined roses and lilies, rested his forehead on the stone tablet, closed his eyes, remained speechless for a long time, stood up and walked aside.

"Senior Lu, I remember you said, never give flowers if you die... But, you must like this very much."

Hinata Yuzuru took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a lighter, and placed it in front of the monument.

He got it from home - with so many families, there's always someone who smokes.

Looking at the name of Yamazaka Deer on the tombstone, he smiled slightly: "You also said not to use names instead of code names in ANBU... That's really cunning."

"I still remember you said that quitting smoking is the thing you regret most. If you retire in the future, you will definitely smoke again. Now, you have retired."

"But please forgive me for falling in love with Ino first. When she grows up, I'm afraid I will be pestered by other little girls... Well, I never showed off to you before, I Very popular.”

Hinata Yuzuru chuckled and whispered, putting the cigarette in the corner so as not to disturb others who brought flowers. He placed the rose in front of the monument and gently ran his fingers over Daisy's name.

What made him emotionally complicated was that even on the tombstone, Daisy's full name was not known, only the short word "Daisy".

Of course, maybe, this is her name.

Sighing and standing up, Hinata Yuzuru stepped aside.

There weren't too many cries. You were all ninjas. Even Mrs. Yamanaka, who ran a flower shop and enjoyed ordinary happy daily life, grew up in a family like Yamanaka that had suffered through wars along with Konoha.

Only Ino, a little girl who was only one year old, was crying. It was probably because of the heavy atmosphere that she couldn't understand.

The ceremony did not last long. It was officially over after everyone said their prayers and farewells. The third generation left even after the initial speech and prayer. After all, he was the Hokage. If every ninja was sacrificed, If you have to spare most of the day to hold the ceremony, then there is no need to work.

It's a bit cruel, but it's also true.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and even Mrs. Yamazaka did not stay too long.

Deer has no wife, and as his sister, Mrs. Yamanaka is the closest person to him.

According to Senior Lu, he must not get married before retiring, so as not to leave his children without a father, which would be so pitiful.

It’s such a pity, Daisy-senpai.

Perhaps she wished that the rose had been given to her by Senior Lu himself.

Hinata Yuzuru and the silent Uchiha Shisui wandered around the village aimlessly.

A year of continuous missions made them both accustomed to a life of being vigilant all the time and fighting every moment. Now they suddenly had nothing to do, and they didn't know what to do for the moment.

"How's itachi?"

Hinata Yuzuru took the initiative to pick up the topic.

"It's not bad. I stay with Sasuke every day, and he looks more and more mature."

"Where's Neji?"

Uchiha Shisui turned his head and smiled.

"He is already a troublesome kid now...but very cute." Hinata Yuzuru also smiled.

The two of them wandered into the small park somehow.

Sitting inside, the two of them chatted and talked until they ran out of topics.

Uchiha Shisui looked at the sky blankly for a while, and then suddenly asked softly: "What do you think the future of the Uchiha clan should be like?"

Maybe the timing isn't right.

But Uchiha Shisui was mentally and physically exhausted at the moment, and even though he kept trying to strengthen himself, he was still very confused in his heart.

Yesterday, after returning to the family, he did not get a good sleep like Hinata Yuzuru.

Instead, he was called by Uchiha Fugaku.

After learning that his most trusted senior had died, Uchiha Fugaku...asked him if his eyes had changed.

He was silent for a moment just because his brain was thinking rapidly. Uchiha Fugaku showed a knowing smile and stopped talking about it, and turned to talk about other things.

It was a long conversation, and even after the conversation ended, he only slept for two hours last night.

Uchiha Fugaku was finally ready to compromise.

But it was not towards Konoha, but faintly revealed to him his intention to lean towards the Uchiha clan.

This meant a lot, and made Uchiha Shisui, who was already in a bad mood, even more confused for a moment, not knowing what to do.

He originally thought that he would think about it slowly and then think about it.

But by some strange coincidence, when he saw Hinata Yuzuru, he poured out his inner troubles.

If we were to talk about who he could trust the most in Konoha right now, it would probably be this companion next to him.

Hinata Yuzuru had to answer this question carefully. He pondered for a moment and did not speak easily. Instead, he calmly and quietly organized his words and organized his thoughts.

Rather, it was to show Shisui a way out for the Uchiha clan.

In fact, this has a very important relationship, big enough to affect the future structure of Konoha, and also enough to affect all the plans he has hidden in his heart.

After repeatedly confirming his purpose and needs in his mind, Hyuga Yuzuru said very calmly: "Do you think, given the current situation in Konoha, if the Uchiha clan suddenly disappears, what impact will it have on the entire ninja world?"

This sentence exceeded Uchiha Shisui's expectations. Hinata Yuzuru's rhetorical question made him think seriously for a moment, and then slowly shook his head.

"The peace talks between Kumogakure and Konoha should be only a matter of time. Even if Uchiha is lost... Kumogakure will not be able to go all out to win this battle."

"After all, Iwagakure is also engaged in a small-scale battle at the same time as us and Kumogakure."

Although Iwagakure surrendered.

Well, to be precise, I don’t want to fight.

But it doesn't mean that they have completely quieted down and cowered.

But the losses were too heavy, and they had to pay for their troops, return to their own territory, and start to accumulate strength again.

Strictly speaking, although the fierce fighting on the surface has gradually disappeared, secretly, there are still constant frictions with Konoha and Kumogakure on the border. On the one hand, there is hatred, and on the other hand, there is the old hatred with Konoha. The three parties are constantly fighting with each other, but they are quite restrained.

No one dares to use all their strength to suddenly start a war with one side - this means that another side will reap the benefits.

With the current strength of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Konoha, if any two parties fight it out, the remaining one may win all.

Even if the probability is small, you can't bet. No Kage can completely pin their hopes on the other's incompetence. The best option is to recuperate and wait until the younger generation grows up and fresh blood is replenished, and then there will be another ninja war.

At first glance, a ninja world war seems to be a bad thing for all great ninja villages. After all, if you can't win, or both sides will lose, it means a waste of troops.

But in fact, those who died the most in the Great Ninja War were often the little-known small ninja villages and the small countries attached to each country - after being wiped out by the Great Ninja War, they were often devastated. , there is chaos everywhere, and in order to survive and benefit, they have to rely on the ninja villages of various major countries.

This has given rise to a large number of interests, and while people in small countries and small ninja villages have to rely on big countries and big ninja villages in order to survive, there will inevitably be population flows.

After all, admiring the strong and hoping to live a stable life are the thoughts of most ordinary people. In this way, as long as the big countries open their mouths a little and the Ninja Village opens their arms a little, they can catch all the talents of the small countries. Over time, the small countries will become smaller. , a big country is bigger and has clear interests.

If you can win, even better! The direct winner is full and full, even if he can only chew a piece of the opponent's meat, it is considered a great success.

Uchiha Shisui may not have seen it so thoroughly, but growing up in the war for a long time still cultivated his strategic awareness to a certain extent.

He calmly judged: "Even if Konoha loses Uchiha, as long as it is willing to give some benefits when signing the treaty, Kumogakure Village cannot be greedy and continue to expand the conflict. After all, once the fish is dead and the net is broken, it will be Iwagakure's side who will benefit. , with the relationship between Yunyin and Yanyin, they will definitely not do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit themselves."

"Then how much do you think Konoha has to pay to fill the void left by the Uchiha clan and reach a peace treaty?"

Hinata Yuzuru asked again, but Uchiha Shisui was in trouble.

Pushing up his glasses, Hinata Yuzuru said lightly, "In my opinion, the price won't be too high."

"Well, after all, even if Konoha loses Uchiha, there are still many outstanding ninjas." Uchiha Shisui's eyes were dim.

While chatting, it seemed that something was wrong.

The current Uchiha are certainly an important part of Konoha.

But if you think about it carefully, at this moment...even the entire Uchiha clan, wait a minute!

Uchiha Shisui said in shock: "What do you mean?! Impossible!"

In order to show his solemnity, he even stood up straight, looked at Hinata Yuzuru and shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Konoha will destroy the Uchiha clan! ?

what?

PS: It seems that Sanjiang is still available, but I don’t know if it will happen anymore. In short, the previous conditions for additional updates have not changed, and the current cumulative additional updates are 12 (if I remember correctly)

There will be a minimum of 12 updates on the shelf, and I will set some conditions for additional updates when the time comes to see how much inventory you can spend on me in a day.
