Lord Naruto

Chapter 228 Funeral

Because this matter is so similar to Shimura Danzo's methods, even when he first started investigating the matter, Sarutobi Hiruzen also thought that this might be Shimura Danzo's worry about the power of the Senju and Uchiha clans in the Land of Fire. It was too powerful, so he took action against the mirror in the next volume, and then framed it on Uchiha Fugaku and Senju Nezuki, and at the same time, he could also bring down the Wood Empire.

This plan seemed to kill two birds with one stone, but it left too many hidden dangers. This matter was clearly revealed in the Fire Country and the Wood Empire, and Sarutobi Hiruzen also confirmed it with Shimura Danzo. He didn't do this, because Danzo Shimura knew very well what the consequences would be.

Shimura Danzo is not a fool. He knows that although doing this will gain a lot of benefits and may even break the alliance between Senju and Uchiha, the consequences of doing this are also very serious. The evil leader of the Wood Empire The dragon will definitely take this opportunity to bite the Fire Nation hard. By then, if you want to calm down the Wood Empire's anger, you don't know how much it will cost. Shimura Danzo shouldn't be stupid enough to do this. It's like killing one thousand enemies and damaging one thousand eight.

But if this matter was not done by Shimura Danzo, then the problem would be even more serious. This time, several forces were calculated. The two countries that were originally developing at a high speed were hindered by this matter, and the final benefits would be lost. Who, and it was in Konoha, without knowing it, killed Kagami in a sneak attack? You must know that Kagami is not an ordinary person. This is a shadow-level strongman who disappeared without noticing any movement. The sound is dead, and there are many problems behind it.

Knowing that Uzumaki Zihei and the others had appeared in Konoha, various possibilities flashed through Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, but he was not sure about them because the problem was so serious that Sarutobi Hiruzen had to be careful. cautious.

Uzumaki Zihei and the other three rushed to the gate of Konoha, spoke briefly, and rushed to the Uchiha Clan's headquarters. When they arrived at the Uchiha Clan's headquarters, they saw the Uchiha clan members wearing black uniforms everywhere, and Relatives and friends who came to attend Uchiha Kaoru's funeral ceremony.

"Is this the ceremony about to begin? We still caught up." Matt said beautifully.

"If you're not in a hurry to meet Teacher Kagami, let's go to Fugaku's house first, and we'll also change into our clothes by the way." Uzumaki Ziping said.

At this time, Matt Dai and Matt Meimei realized the problem with their clothes. They nodded in agreement with Uzumaki Ziping's proposal and rushed towards the Fugaku family.

Although Uzumaki Zihei and the other three stayed on the street where Uchiha was stationed for a short time, they were soon discovered by Uchiha patrols, and the news quickly spread to the ears of Uchiha senior officials.

In the Uchiha clan ancestral hall, the remains of Uchiha Kagami are placed, and many senior Uchiha officials are here, including Fugaku's father, Uchiha Nasa.

A patrolling Uchiha tribesman came here. When several senior officials saw this tribesman, they knew they had something to report. The senior officials looked at each other, quietly exited the ancestral hall, and walked to the lounge nearby. One of the older Uchiha elders asked; "Tell me! Is there anything you want to report?"

"Reporting to the elders, there was news just now that Master Ziping came to the family headquarters and has now gone to Elder Nasha's house. My subordinates are worried that Master Ziping will take advantage of the Fugaku clan leader..." said the Uchiha tribesman who came to report. I won’t say it anymore, as everyone understands the meaning.

However, after listening to the reports from the clansmen, several elders not only did not feel nervous, but appeared relaxed. Uchiha Nasha said to the clansmen who came to report: "There is no need to be nervous about this matter. Master Ziping will not do anything to Fugaku." Well, after all, Fu Yue is also a disciple of Master Ziping, so nothing will happen to him, and Master Ziping should be here soon. Now go and inform the other elders so that everyone can make preparations."

After hearing the arrangement, this tribesman quickly left, leaving a few elders here to exchange excited words: "Master Ziping is back, there should be no problem with Fugaku, and the Senju should also be there." solved."

"Yes! Yes!" Several other Uchiha elders nodded in agreement.

Among the Uchiha and Senju clans, Uzumaki Zihei belongs to the kind of person whose legend is that although he is not in the world, the legend of him is spread in the world. 'The same character, although Uchiha Ziping does not belong to the Uchiha clan nor the Senju clan in name, people from both clans are very willing to believe in Uzumaki Ziping, because it is Uzumaki Ziping's continuous efforts, and Uzumaki Ziping's identity, Let Senju and Uchiha achieve a true alliance. This alliance is not the original military alliance between Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, but an alliance of interests in all aspects. Because of the relationship of interests, Uchiha and Senju are mutually exclusive. The two sides have become inseparable from each other, and the two groups are firmly bound together by interests.

Senju and Uchiha once had a good cooperative relationship because of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. However, after Uchiha Madara's defection and Senju Tobirama's distrust of Uchiha, As a result, the relationship between the two clans returned to its previous freezing point. Fortunately, the sudden rise of Uzumaki Zihei and the efforts of Uchiha Kagami and Senju Great Elder restored the relationship between the two clans, especially in the Wood Empire. In the years since its establishment, the relationship between the two races has made breakthrough progress.

With the current changes in the relationship between the two clans, the policy used by Uzumaki Ziping still works. In fact, it is also very simple. It is an old saying spread in China: "There are no permanent enemies and friends, only permanent relationships of interest." ', no matter what kind of hatred there is between Senju and Uchiha, being able to jointly establish Konoha means that they have let go of the hatred left over from generations. With this level of relationship, forming an alliance becomes much simpler. , there are still various interests involved between the two races, and it is difficult to separate them.

This is why the interest organizations of the two tribes who want to separate, such as Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, are very troubled, because the potential possessed by the two tribes is too terrifying. No leader would like it if such a terrifying force appeared in the territory and was not under his own jurisdiction!

Uzumaki Ziping came to Fugaku's house with Matt Dai and Matt Meimei, and happened to meet Fugaku who was about to go out. Fugaku also saw the three people coming to Uzumaki Ziping. Although he was surprised, he did not panic. He quickly came to the three people and saluted: "The students have met the dean, Teacher Dai, and Teacher Mimiko."

"Okay, this is not a place to live. Let's change the environment and prepare a room for us to change." Uzumaki Ziping said to Fugaku.

Fugaku received instructions from Uzumaki and took the three of them back to the house to prepare for the dressing room. After all three of them had changed into black clothes, Uzumaki and the others came to a living room under Fugaku's arrangement.

"What do you want to say?" Uzumaki Ziping asked, looking at Fugaku who looked a little haggard.

"Dean, during this period of time, Naoki and I have been under a lot of pressure. Now the Uchiha are divided into two camps and quarreling, but no matter what kind of remarks they are, I don't want to hear them. The death of the leader of the Mirror clan , has nothing to do with Shengshu and I, but the two of us became murderers inexplicably. The two of us are in the same situation now, and have been criticized by many tribesmen, which also makes us feel very uneasy and troubled! ..." Fugaku said honestly about his current situation in front of the Uzumaki plane.

territory.

Seeing Fugaku like this, Uzumaki knew that this boy was worried that he would blame him wrongly. He also understood that Fugaku and Naoki had indeed endured a lot of pressure in this matter. Who would have thought that they would just return to the family and prepare to show off their talents? When something like this happened suddenly, and he had to take the blame for it inexplicably, Uzumaki Ziping was very satisfied that he could survive until now without getting into trouble.

"I know that it wasn't you and Shengshu who did this. You wouldn't dare to do it if I gave you the courage. You don't have to feel guilty about this. I know that someone wants to break the rules. Can With such means, the entire ninja world is limited to just a few people." Uzumaki Ziping said.

"Thank you, Dean!" Fugaku really thanked Uzumaki Ziping at this time. Fugaku didn't know why. When he saw Uzumaki Ziping appearing, he originally had many thoughts of this and that, and some impetuous emotions, but he suddenly A lot of comfort.

Then Uzumaki Ziping learned some other information from Fugaku and talked for a long time, but Uzumaki Ziping could tell that Fugaku wanted to talk to him alone about something, but now was not the time to talk in detail, because of the funeral of Uchiha Kagami The preparation is about to begin.

So Uzumaki Ziping said to Fugaku: "It's almost time now. I know you still have something to talk to me about, but we'd better wait until the funeral is over!"

"Student understand!" After saying this, Fugaku led the three of them to the Uchiha family's ancestral hall.

When they arrived at the Uchiha family's ancestral hall, they were filled with guests wearing black dresses to pay homage to Uchiha Kagami. Everyone had already been notified of the arrival of Uzumaki Zihei and the others.

Seeing the appearance of Uzumaki Hei, Matt Dai and Matt Meimei, although many guests wanted to come forward and say hello, they all knew that this was not the right time. Going forward to say hello would only increase their resentment, and Uzumaki Heizo The identity of the person cannot be regarded as an ordinary guest, but a kinship relationship, because the three of Uzumaki Ziping and Uchiha Mirror still have a master-disciple relationship, and they have no time to get close to these guests.

After Uzumaki Ziping, Matt Dai and Matt Meimei saluted, they came to kneel beside Uchiha Kagami's body, but Uzumaki Ziping did not notice that there was not only Uchiha Kagami's body placed here, but also Uchiha Kagami's body. The body of another man is also placed here.

It wasn't until he was about to go to the ground that Uzumaki Ziping discovered that there was another person's body. This made Uzumaki Ziping's head full of questions. This matter was really weird, but at this time, Uzumaki Ziping was not in a hurry to ask. Instead, he cooperated seriously to escort Uchiha Mirror on the last leg of his journey.

After all the funeral ceremonies were over, Uzumaki Zihei pulled his aunt, Obito's grandmother, and Uchiha Kagami's wife asked: "Aunt, who is this other person, and who is my cousin? Why didn’t you see it?”

Hearing Uzumaki's inquiry, her aunt began to cry quietly again, which made Uzumaki a little at a loss, but the crying aunt still said: "The other person is your cousin."

Uzumaki Ziping was a little shocked and said, why is this so bloody? He quickly pulled his aunt and asked: "This! How is this possible! How could this happen to my cousin! Why didn't I receive any information!?"

The aunt shook her head and sighed: "Oh! On the second night after Jing was killed, little Obito was a little sick, probably because he was frightened by the vigil and caught a cold. Your cousin-in-law has a big belly and it is not easy to move. I still have to keep watch. Your uncle and your cousin went out to find some medicine for little Obito, but they never came back. It was not until late at night that they were discovered by clan members patrolling the clan, and they found out that the circumstances of your cousin's murder also started from that day. The higher-ups in the clan were worried about our safety, so they sent someone to guard us."

"This!..." Uzumaki Ziping really couldn't believe it. This thing was too strange and abnormal. This matter must be clarified.

"Okay aunt, don't worry. I will find out about this matter. You, your cousin, and little Obito stay at home. I will let people continue to protect you. I really want to know who dares to touch me. family." Uzumaki Ziping said with a cold look and tone.

After saying that, Uzumaki Zihei left. He originally wanted to go to the upper management of Uchiha to ask about the specific situation. However, he thought that Fugaku still wanted to talk to him today, so he planned to go to Fugaku. As soon as he left the door, he saw Fugaku. Waiting here.

"Okay, let's go talk to you. I also have some questions to ask you." After speaking to Fugaku, he said to the Uchiha clan members patrolling the door: "Go and arrange a few more people to protect this place, and inform you by the way. Excuse me, elders, I will be there in half an hour."

"Understood!" The Uchiha tribesman left in a flash after receiving Uzumaki Ziping's instructions.

Then Fugaku was asked to lead the way, while Matt Dai and Matt Meimei went to the Senju family to inquire about some progress.

After Uzumaki Ziping and Fugaku sat down, Uzumaki Ziping spoke: "Uchiha Mei! What's going on?"

"Dean! This is what I wanted to tell you this morning. After the murder of the leader of the Mirror clan, although many people doubted me and just had questions, the next day Senior Ming was assassinated again, and many clan members began to accuse me. Everyone thinks that I deliberately framed Clan Leader Jing and Senior Ming to usurp the position of Clan Leader. Because I am the Clan Leader now, Senior Ming and I have always been competitors... If it weren't for the continuous support of several elders, maybe this deputy now There is no title of clan leader either," Fugaku said.

Then Fugaku came up with the trouble, which made Uzumaki Ziping feel a little dizzy. Whose method was this?

After learning some information from Fugaku, he came to the Uchiha Elders' Council Hall and learned from these elders that the situation was similar to what Fugaku said. Then he left the Uchiha station. Before leaving, Uzumaki Ziping also seriously told these elders to let They took good care of their aunt and family.

Then he came to the Hokage's office building and looked at the apologetic look on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face. Uzumaki knew that there seemed to be no progress here.

"Ziping! I'm really sorry, we didn't find out much information, but one thing is certain. Although this matter was framed by Senju Nawaki and Uchiha Fugaku, we investigated carefully and found out that there was something behind this. The real purpose is to use Shimura Danzo's hand to achieve something, and the purpose is to damage the alliance interests between our Fire Country and your Wood Empire. However, the opponent's strength and methods are too clever, which makes us unable to What great harvest can there be?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

At this time, Uzumaki Zihei's brows became very sad. What the younger generation revealed about the whole thing was really weird. It didn't seem like he was plotting to kill a certain person or family force. The real purpose should be like Sarutobi Hiruzen. Speaking like this, I am afraid that the Lamu Empire and the Fire Nation are going to join the water.

But no matter what the reason is, Uzumaki Ziping must find out about this matter. There is another point. Uzumaki Ziping looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen seriously and said: "Let's not talk about the conspiracy behind this matter, but this matter actually I found that inside Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Hokage, should you bear some responsibility? How did you manage the defense inside Konoha? Do you think it was possible without the help of the insider?"
