Following the flow of people, the two of them soon arrived at the Konoha Cemetery. In the small cemetery, the people who entered the cemetery in batches consciously lined up in a neat square formation.
They stood in front of the Konoha Memorial Monument, and then came forward one by one to lay flowers and express their condolences.
The solemn atmosphere can spread among the crowd. When Kakashi Hatake and Metkai's turn came, they both bowed solemnly at the same time and stepped forward solemnly.
Like everyone else, he offered the white chrysanthemum in his hand and placed it in front of the pile of memorial monuments.
Then, he bowed deeply, finally walked off the stage, and stood still among the crowd.
According to the procedure, next is a moment of silence.
Different from the original work, due to Namikaze Minato's advance preparation, only the ninjas of Konoha were sacrificed in the Nine-Tails Rebellion. No ordinary people or people were affected or harmed.
And because genin are prohibited from participating in battles with young ninjas, the victims this time were all mid-jounin.
Ninja is different from other professions. Most of those who can be promoted to the rank of nakajonin are those who have experienced life and death.
Therefore, the families of these victims are slightly different from ordinary people. The majority are those who can bear such a heavy blow.
During the silence, the younger boys and girls could occasionally be heard sobbing quietly in the crowd below.
Everyone is remembering and missing the deceased, including Kakashi Hatake and Metkai.
Although Kakashi was promoted to Jonin early, because he was only 15 years old, the Nine-Tails Rebellion was not part of the battle sequence. However, in this incident, there were still several senior Jonin who had done missions with him many times, and
Many ANBU comrades died in the line of duty.
Metkai was different. At this time, he was just an elite chuunin who was just beginning to be valued. He also did not participate in the war because of his young age. However, in the Nine-Tails incident, there were also familiar ninjas who had performed many missions together and sacrificed their lives.
Silence is a respect for life and a memorial to the deceased.
The atmosphere of silence and depression lasted for more than three minutes. Then, the moment of silence ended. Kakashi Hatake and Metkai raised their heads together with the others and prepared to leave in order.
Because after that, the next batch of Konoha villagers will arrive in an orderly manner to participate in the funeral and silent ceremony.
In his peripheral vision, Kakashi caught a glimpse of the blond man among the several figures still standing quietly in front of the commemorative monument in the distance. A complex look flashed across his eyes.
He knew that his teacher Minato Namikaze also lost a close relative in the Nine-Tails Incident.
Although he has never experienced the pain of losing his wife, he understands what it is like for a child to lose his mother. His father, Hatake Sakumo, lost his wife early in life, and Hatake Kakashi has almost never experienced the feeling of maternal love.
What.
I heard that Minato-sensei's child has been named Namikaze Naruto.
Maybe he is a little luckier than this child. After all, he still has a vague impression of his mother's voice and smile during her lifetime, but the teacher's child, Naruto Namikaze, cannot even get such luck...
Just as Kakashi was lost in thought, the group of Konoha villagers he was in had begun to walk out in an orderly manner.
Somewhere not far from him, a very young boy's cry became more and more broken, and came in waves, causing others around him to look sideways from time to time.
"Qiu Shan, don't cry anymore, it's impossible for my father to come back..."
Next to him, a slightly older boy, a sturdy boy about six or seven years old, although he had the same sad look on his face, he still spoke out to comfort him.
Seeing the flow of people walking out, he would cast his gaze here from time to time, and he also felt something was wrong.
He took the arm of the boy who was crying loudly with one hand, trying to pull him out together. As he walked, he secretly wiped the tears from his face, and suddenly said in a hateful tone: "Damn Uchiha, if not
Even if there is a rebellious ninja in their clan, my father will not..."
The younger brother who was being pulled by him suddenly raised his head, temporarily stopped crying, and asked in surprise: "Brother, are the people who killed my father the Uchiha clan?"
"That's right, it's what the rebel ninjas who appeared in the same clan as those arrogant people from the Konoha Guard did..."
As the young man answered, his eyes unconsciously began to show hatred.
At this moment, a very dissatisfied voice suddenly came from the crowd nearby and shouted: "Hey, kid, say it again!"
"Do you know that what you just said was slandering the Konoha Guard and insulting the entire Uchiha clan?!"
Qiu Feng pulled his younger brother Qiu Shan, and the two of them turned around and saw a short-haired boy with a sinister face walking in their direction. This boy was about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Obviously he was extremely dissatisfied with what Brother Qiufeng said just now.
Unlike his younger brother Akiyama, who was only 5 years old, Qiufeng was already a second-year student in the ninja school. He quickly recognized the people in front of him. Although they were wearing black uniforms, they had shuriken graphics on their sleeves.
The armband logo with the fan icon printed in the middle is clearly a member of the Konoha Guard.
The two of them were slightly shocked by the aggressive questioning. They were obviously deeply impressed by the Uchiha Guards' arrogant style.
But when they remembered that their father, who had only raised them, had sacrificed his life, the two brothers no longer showed weakness.
Akiyama said stubbornly: "It was you, the Uchiha clan who killed my father!"
After he finished speaking, he burst into tears again.
"Hey, brat, you say that again?!" The short-haired boy was also a little irritated and shouted: "It's obviously just a traitor in the clan, but you dare to say that it's our entire Uchiha clan's fault.
."
"Believe it or not, I'll beat you up?"
As he said that, he had already flattened his sleeves, as if he was about to rush over directly.
Although Qiu Feng knew that the other party was a member of the Konoha Guards, he was just a student who had not graduated from the ninja school. If a fight broke out, he would naturally not be his opponent.
But despite this, it is certainly not okay to just sit back and watch your younger brother being bullied.
"You bastard Uchiha clan, your clan killed my father, do you still want to bully my family again?" At this situation, Qiu Feng suddenly felt courageous and stepped forward to block his brother.
While staring fiercely at the short-haired Uchiha boy, he was already in a fighting stance.
There is no doubt that he can now exert 200% of the basic physical skills taught in the ninja school.
Finally, this Uchiha boy, who had just joined the Konoha Guards, could no longer suppress his anger.
He punched his brother Qiu Feng and said angrily: "Didn't I tell you not to slander the entire Uchiha clan again?!"
