Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 284 Send an envoy to Kirigakure Village

Yamanaka Haiichi's funeral was over, and most of the people who gathered dispersed. It wasn't that everyone was unwilling to stay in front of Yamanaka Haiichi's grave for a while, but they still had to attend Uchiha Fugaku's funeral.

Even though the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the major families in the village is not very close.

But Uchiha Fugaku has a different identity. He is the leader of the clan and the head of the police department. He has contacts with many people in the village. Besides, everyone can now see that the Uchiha clan seems to want to Make changes, such as actively integrating into the village...

But no matter what the final result is,

There was no hindrance to attending Uchiha Fugaku's funeral, because both the Fourth Hokage and his wife went, and the rest of the village naturally followed suit.

In a blink of an eye,

In front of Yamanaka Haiichi's grave, only Rinara Shikaku and Akimichi Choza were left.

Yamanaka Haiichi's pregnant wife wanted to stay, so Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Tingza took their also pregnant wives away. At this time, the child in the belly was obviously more important than the dead person.

"Shikaku, let's go! If you don't leave, you won't be able to make it to Uchiha Fugaku's funeral." Akimichi Choza said softly. With their status, not attending Uchiha Fugaku's funeral will definitely cause trouble.

"Haiyi, after you're done with your work... we'll come see you again."

Nara Shikaku took a long breath, turned around, and greeted: "Ding Zao, let's go! Go to Uchiha Fugaku's funeral!"

The funerals of Yamanaka Haiichi and Uchiha Fugaku were held at different times and in different places.

The time is different just to stagger it,

Otherwise, you can't say that you sent a shadow clone to attend the funeral. That would be too disrespectful.

But the difference in the location of the funeral is due to tradition. The Uchiha clan has its own private cemetery. The ninjas of the Uchiha clan who died in battle will be buried in their own cemetery instead of being sent to the public cemetery of 'Konoha Cemetery'.

The reason for doing this

It's not that the Uchiha clan wants to be special.

But because the Uchiha clan has a blood inheritance limit inheritance, the corpses of ordinary ninjas are of great value, and the corpses of ninjas with blood inheritance limits are worth thousands of gold. Not only must you be careful of outsiders stealing them, but you must also be careful. Friends from the same village.

Not just Uchiha;

The Hyuga clan also has a private cemetery exclusive to the family.

Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Tingza ran all the way and finally caught up with Uchiha Fugaku's funeral. Because they arrived late, they didn't say they had to squeeze to the front to show their faces. They just stood silently on the periphery of the crowd, watching the funeral. held.

Uchiha Fugaku's pregnant wife, Uchiha Mikoto, was crying inconsolably.

beside her,

It’s the eldest son Uchiha Itachi with red eyes.

It is said that

When Uchiha Hatoha attacked the Uchiha clan's territory the night before, the pregnant Uchiha Mikoto suddenly had a stomachache, so she took her eldest son to the clan's medical ninja for a check-up, and she was lucky enough to escape the Uchiha clan. Jiu Yu's large-scale indiscriminate massacre attack.

only--

Surviving is not necessarily a good thing. Living in this world is not an easy thing, it is very hard.

It didn't take too long,

Uchiha Fugaku's funeral also came to an end.

The crowd dispersed again, but there were quite a few people who stayed in front of Uchiha Fugaku's tomb and did not leave. Needless to say, the Yondaime couple, Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto were very good friends, and they were comforting each other with their big belly at the moment. Wearing Uchiha Mikoto, who is also pregnant.

There is also Uchiha Shisui, a genius boy of the Uchiha clan, who is talking to Uchiha Itachi.

"Shikaku, let's go over there and talk."

<divclass="contentadv"> Minato approached Nara Shikaku, and the two of them walked aside, away from Uchiha Fugaku's grave, and stood under the shade of a big tree, "How is the situation of Tofu-senpai? "

"not bad."

Nara Shikaku looked serious, "But he is old after all, and the work of setting up the defense department is complicated. It cannot be done by him alone. I am going to ask Suzaku to bring a few people to help."

"I was about to ask if you didn't tell me! It would be best for you, Shikaku, to send someone there. Don't worry too much. Just go ahead and do it. I only have one request, and that is that the Defense Department should be set up for me as soon as possible."

Minato said solemnly.

He is not afraid that such delegation of power will lead to the Ministry of Defense being completely controlled by the Ino Shika Butterfly Tribe. He not only believes that Nara Shikaku is a truly smart man and would not do such stupid things.

Moreover,

Don't forget that the original intention of establishing the Defense Department was not to engage in internal fighting, but to unite the Kumo ninja to deal with the extremely dangerous enemy Uchiha Hatoha.

Regarding the scene and movement in the Uchiha clan the night before,

As long as your brain is not broken, you can even think with your toes and figure out that this defense department is not a paradise for ordinary people. It will be the front line against the evil god Uchiha Hatoha.

It will kill people,

And many people died,

Taking control of the Ministry of Defense at this time is tantamount to constantly filling this bottomless pit with people.

"I see."

Nara Shikaku nodded, indicating that he understood.

Seeing this, Minato's face suddenly showed some hesitation. He thought about it for a few seconds, and then said softly: "Shikaku, I have another idea... I don't know if it will work, 伱Help me with my advice!”

"what?"

"Tell me, since we can join forces with the Kumo ninja to deal with Uchiha Hatoha, then... can we also pull the Iwa ninja and the Suna ninja into the chariot?"

"...It's possible, but the hope of success feels very small."

Nara Shikaku thought for a few seconds and truthfully stated his judgment.

"That's it!"

There was not much disappointment on Minato's face, and he just sighed softly, "In this way, only Kumo ninja and Kiri ninja will advance and retreat with us on Uchiha Hatoha's matter."

Kumo Ninja took the initiative to come to Konoha to seek cooperation.

In the words of Mist Ninja,

It was agreed before that they would deal with Uchiha Hatoha together. At that time, Uchiha Hatoha's true identity was not known yet.

Speaking of,

At that time, an offensive and defensive alliance treaty against the Kumo ninja was also signed.

But he never expected that the Yun ninja who was originally going to be targeted would suddenly turn into his own ally... I can only say that things are unpredictable!

"Lord Hokage, I think we can send an envoy to go to Kirigakure Village together with the envoy from Kumogakure Village. Although we have agreed with the Kirigakure ninja to deal with Uchiha Hatoha together, we can't guarantee whether the Kirigakure ninja will be naughty. It's best ······It’s better to solidify this matter early.”

Shikaku Nara made a suggestion.

"Send an envoy to Kirigakure Village? Shikaku, who do you think...is it more appropriate to send?" Minato asked.
