The third generation's speech was not too 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 of them 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 will always be people who smoke.
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 his emotions 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 were not many cries. You are all ninjas. Even Mrs. Yamanaka, who runs a flower shop and enjoys ordinary happy daily life, grew up in a family like Yamanaka that has experienced war and suffering 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 as early as 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 for too long.
The deer has no wife, and Mrs. Yamanaka, as his sister, 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 has made them both accustomed to a life of being vigilant all the time and having to fight every period of time. Now they suddenly have nothing to do, and they don't know what to do at 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 I look more and more mature."
"Where's Neji?"
Uchiha Shisui turned his head and smiled.
"He is already a troublesome little kid now...but very cute." Hinata Yuzuru also smiled.
The two of them wandered into the small park without knowing why.
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, 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. Even though he kept trying to strengthen himself, he was still very confused in his heart.
Yesterday, after returning to his family, he was not able to sleep well like Hyuga 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 smile of understanding, stopped talking, and started talking 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 it was faintly revealed to him that he was leaning toward the Uchiha clan.
This meant a lot, and Uchiha Shisui, who was already in a bad mood at the moment, was even more confused for a moment and didn't know what to do.
He originally wanted to 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 beside 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, with 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 we lose Uchiha... Kumogakure will not be able to go all out to win this battle."
"After all, Iwagakure is also engaged in small-scale battles with us and Kumogakure at the same time."
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 down.
But the losses were too heavy, so we had to pay the money to withdraw our troops, return to our 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 other hand, there is the old hatred with Konoha. The three parties are fighting each other endlessly, but they are quite restrained.
No one dares to use all their strength to suddenly start a war with one side - this means that the other side will reap the benefits.
With the current strength of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Konoha, if any two parties fight it out, the remaining one will probably be the winner.
Even if the probability is small, you can't bet. It is impossible for any Kage to 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 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 suffer, it means a waste of troops.
But in fact, those who died the most in the Ninja World War were often the little-known small ninja villages and the small countries attached to each country - after being washed away by the Ninja World War, they were often devastated.
, there is chaos everywhere, and in order to survive and benefit, we have to rely on the ninja villages of various major countries.
This has given rise to a large number of interests, and while the people of those small countries and small ninja villages have to depend on the big countries and big ninja villages in order to survive, there will inevitably be population flow.
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 will be full, even if he can only eat a piece of the opponent's meat, it will be 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 Iwagakure, they will definitely not do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself."
"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.
As we chatted, I seemed to realize 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?! It's impossible!"
In order to show his solemnity, he even stood up straight, looked at Hinata Yuzuru and shook his head: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Will Konoha wipe out the Uchiha clan!?
ah?
.....
ps: It seems that Sanjiang still has a chance to play, but I don’t know if it will happen anymore. In short, the previous conditions for extra updates have not changed, and the current cumulative extra updates are 12 (if I remember correctly)
There will be a minimum of 12 updates on the shelves, 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.
