Seeing the Hokage being attacked and injured, several elite shadow guards responsible for protecting the Hokage's personal safety appeared instantly.
That is, they knew that the old man in front of them was in a superior position, and they did not dare to blindly escalate the situation. While stopping Uzumaki Mito from further harming the Hokage, they also hurried to check the injuries of the Hokage on the ground.
Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his hand to wipe the blood from his mouth, and he shook his head slightly, and then pushed away the shadow guard who came to support him.
"Cough cough cough..."
Uzumaki Mito was so angry that her face turned red, and she couldn't stop coughing.
Looking at her excited look, Sarutobi Hiruzen was afraid that she would suddenly lie down without catching her breath...
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that he had an unshirkable responsibility for the matter of Liuyun, and he didn't want to make any excuses, so at this moment facing Uzumaki Mito, the elder, he could only be beaten and scolded without saying a word.
"If it was the first generation or the second generation, they would never make the decision to sacrifice heroes and children to save the village because of fear of war. Your teacher (Senju Tobirama) often said that you inherited the 'will of fire', but in the end you misinterpreted the 'will of fire' like this!"
Uzumaki Mito angrily scolded.
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen buried his head even lower. Uzumaki Mito's words of disapproval deeply hurt his heart.
All along, he thought he had understood the ‘will of fire’, but now Uzumaki Mito said he had completely misinterpreted the meaning…
“The original intention of the predecessors to establish Konoha was to allow children to grow up safely and healthily, and to protect them from the ravages of war, but you put the cart before the horse… You actually took the lives of children and the future of Konoha in exchange for this momentary ridiculous peace!”
“You only know to blindly believe in ‘sacrificing the small self for the greater self’, but have you ever thought about how there would be a ‘great self’ without the ‘small self’? How could there be a village without children???”
Uzumaki Mito’s words echoed in Sarutobi Hiruzen’s heart for a long time like a bell.
This one of the founders of Konoha made him realize that the so-called ‘will of fire’ is never just ‘sacrificing the small self for the greater self’, and protecting children to grow up smoothly is the true meaning of the existence of Konoha Ninja Village!
"Lord Mito, I'm sorry for my two predecessors and your expectations of me. As the Hokage, I have an unshirkable responsibility for Liuyun's death. Please calm down and take care of yourself. I will resign from the position of Hokage after the war is over!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen knelt on the ground again, lowered his head and took the initiative to take responsibility.
"What you want to do is your business..."
For his decision, Uzumaki Mito had no intention of retaining him.
Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen admitted his mistakes with a good attitude and did not quibble about his mistakes in front of her, Uzumaki Mito's anger was more or less calmed down.
"Is there any possibility that the child will be resurrected again?" Uzumaki Mito suddenly asked in a sad tone.
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head gently upon hearing this: "Three days have passed, I think there is no chance of her coming back to life..."
"Little Liuyun...what a good child..."
The good child who would cook delicious and soft meals for her and chat with her to relieve her boredom, like her grandson, died before he reached adulthood!
Uzumaki Mito couldn't help crying when thinking about the past, and her eyes turned black because of her emotional fluctuations. Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen supported her in time at the critical moment, so she didn't fall unconscious.
Elderly people of Uzumaki Mito's age are most afraid of falling. If they fall accidentally, they may never be able to get up again!
Not long after, Kushina woke up from her coma. The moment she woke up, she shed tears again, and then she ran straight towards Liuyun's house without paying attention to her grandmother beside her.
Uzumaki Mito couldn't help but feel sad when she saw her back. She didn't mean to dissuade Kushina. She just hoped that Kushina wouldn't do anything stupid after seeing the body...
Kushina ran non-stop and rushed to the door of Liuyun's house in a short while, but she suddenly stopped when she was close to the door, and her heart was completely wrapped in great fear.
She was afraid of seeing Liuyun's body and afraid of seeing that result. She couldn't accept the fact that Liuyun was dead until now!
"No, he is so powerful and so strong, how could he give up his life casually? He hasn't married me home yet, and Aunt Asuka is still here. How could he leave us so easily?"
Kushina supported the door with both hands, talking to herself and panting.
After a long time,Kushina finally mustered up the courage to push the door open.
As soon as she entered the door, she ran into a female Anbu who was responsible for taking care of Asuka in the corridor.
"Are you Liuyun's friend? If you can, persuade Liuyun's mother. She hasn't eaten or drunk water for two days. If she continues like this, her body will definitely not be able to support it..."
The female Anbu ninja spoke worriedly. When Kushina heard this, she wiped away her tears and rushed straight into the inner hall.
As soon as she entered the room, she instantly saw the refrigerated coffin placed in the hall, and also saw Asuka who was staying beside the coffin.
Seeing this scene, Kushina couldn't help but cover her mouth, and big tears kept falling from her eyes.
She walked slowly to the coffin with a trembling body. When she saw the familiar boy with a pale face in it, she felt her heart twitching violently, and she fell to the ground in pain for a while.
"No, he won't die..."
Kushina on the ground held her chest and endured the pain, but Asuka beside her seemed to be unaware of the movement. It seemed that only the boy in the coffin was left in her eyes, and she could no longer see anything else.
Kushina lay on the ground for a long time before she barely stood up. After she stood up, she opened the transparent coffin lid directly, and then hugged the corpse and cried loudly.
Gradually, as her voice became hoarse and her tears were temporarily dried up, Kushina fell asleep holding the corpse.
Not long after, the Anbu ninja who stayed at home pried her hands apart with great effort, and then forcibly separated the person from the corpse.
After all, the coffin has a refrigeration function. If a person falls asleep in it, he will be frozen sooner or later, and this is not conducive to the preservation of the corpse.
When the Anbu ninja took Kushina out of the coffin, Asuka beside her also fainted on the ground because she had not eaten or drunk for a long time.
Seeing this, the Anbu ninja sighed. She took a quilt from the inner room and put the two women who had fainted on the same bed.
After doing this, she went to the kitchen to make some liquid food, and then fed it to Asuka little by little with a spoon.
Once a person wakes up, he needs to face reality. In the next few days, the two women waited numbly beside the corpse like zombies.
This hopeless day lasted until the sixth day after Liuyun's death... Asuka suddenly regained consciousness like a dead person, became much more sober, and felt less painful, as if she had suddenly recovered from despair.
