Konoha Hypocrite

Chapter 352: Mourning Ceremony: Show in front of People

The next morning.

Konoha Village, Memorial Monument Square.

The severe cold of early winter seemed to come overnight.

The temperature throughout Konoha dropped sharply.

The dark clouds on the cloudy sky piled up into a whole piece, like a thick piece of iron, weighing heavily in the low sky.

Snow, as light as smoke and as white as silver, flutters and falls from the sky.

A heavy mourning ceremony is being held in front of the memorial monument on the ground.

Under the arrangement of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

A large number of civilians and ninjas lined up in several lines, came to the memorial monument in an orderly manner, and presented their own bouquets of flowers.

Compared to ninjas who are used to seeing death.

The civilian family members were crying hysterically.

You must know that many civilians tried their best and spent a lot of money to move their families to Konoha.

One of those aspects is Konoha's security.

But this Nine-Tails Rebellion caused a large number of civilian casualties.

After everyone has finished presenting flowers, the next step is the speech session.

This should have been the Hokage's responsibility, but now that Namikaze Minato was killed, it was natural that Uchiha Tunan, who had the highest reputation and strength, should give the speech.

After all, it will be announced later that Hiruzen Sarutobi will be the temporary Hokage.

It was only fitting that these words were announced by Uchiha Tunan himself.

I saw Uchiha Tunan changing into a white trench coat today, walking to the memorial tablet filled with bouquets of flowers, and facing everyone.

First he took a deep breath, as if to calm down the deep sadness in his heart, and then he sighed and said:

“The night before yesterday, Konoha experienced an unprecedented turmoil.

The Kyuubi seal was broken, and both the fourth generation master and his wife died.

Countless Konoha ninjas and villagers died in this turmoil.

Here, I would like to say something to all those who participated in the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

You have worked hard! "

Speaking of this, I saw Uchiha Tunan putting his hands on his knees and bowing deeply to everyone.

Everyone lowered their heads, all sad and silent.

Half a minute later, Uchiha Tunan straightened up and said with a sad face:

“The evening of October 10th.

A mysterious man wearing a tiger skin mask sneaks into Konoha.

He released the Nine-Tails from the jinchuriki who had just finished giving birth.

He even frantically channeled the Nine-Tails into the village, causing a large number of casualties and property losses. "

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Tunan's tone gradually became sonorous and powerful, and he said with full emotion:

"In the face of a sudden and huge disaster.

All the ninjas who participated in the war risked their lives, dared to fight, fought bravely and tenaciously and launched a life-and-death struggle with the Nine-Tails.

He made important contributions to saving the lives and property of Konoha compatriots.

Some ninjas sacrificed their young and precious lives.

Use blood! Burn the will of fire in your heart.

Take action! Practice the original intention that you have never forgotten.

In this incident, your heroic feats have been fully recognized by the seniors of Konoha.

It was highly praised by the villagers of Konoha.

I believe that when this incident spreads throughout the ninja world.

There will definitely be a strong response.

Konoha, thank you for having me.

The younger generations of Konoha will be proud of you.

I am here to express my most sincere condolences and the highest respect to you on behalf of the heads of the various ninja clans and department leaders in Konoha. "

But Uchiha Tunan once again put his hands on his knees and bowed deeply to everyone.

No one in this world has ever heard of such official speech.

Speeches like this are shocking when you first hear them, nauseating when you listen to them again, and drowsy when you listen to them again.

I saw that the eyes of the Konoha ninjas who were originally immersed in the pain of their companions' deaths began to regain their fighting spirit.

All of them clenched their fists, blushed, and were excited.

Danzo in front of the crowd narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered to Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him:

"This guy is much stronger than you."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded unequivocally and whispered:

“I grew up watching him.

He loved reading books when he was a child, and it was normal for him to be more educated than me.

But... when it comes to the Will of Fire, I still want to be better at it. "

Uchiha Tunan continued:

“As soon as the Nine-Tails turmoil broke out, it attracted great attention from senior officials in various departments in Konoha.

They all care deeply about the heroes of Konoha who are fighting on the front line.

Especially the Third Generation and Danzo-sama, despite their advanced age, they still organized and mobilized manpower from various departments as soon as possible.

Even in times of crisis, he fought side by side with everyone and was at the forefront of protecting Konoha.

Let Konoha's counterattack force be united, and it can truly be calm, organized and disciplined in the face of danger.

Here, I would like to say thank you to the Third Generation and Danzo-sama. "

Uchiha Tunan immediately turned around and bowed deeply to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo who were standing in front of the crowd.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo both nodded slightly with expressionless faces.

But he was shouting in his heart: This guy is really sensible.

After Uchiha Tunan bowed, he moved to the side, slowly placed his right hand on his heart, looked at the commemorative monument, and said in a deep voice:

"The person who made the most contribution to this Nine-Tails Rebellion is naturally the Fourth Generation.

It's a pity that God is jealous of talents.

The couple of four generations of adults both died at the hands of a mysterious man.

The shadow of the most dignified ninja village in the ninja world was actually killed in the village.

What a disgrace!

We must avenge ourselves.

but not now.

Currently, the ninja world is in turmoil.

After Konoha experienced the Third Ninja War and encountered such a disaster, it could no longer withstand the torment. "

But seeing Uchiha Tunan's expression of beating his chest, he raised his hands and said loudly:

“Here, I hope that everyone will take the kind concern of senior Konoha senior officials as motivation and turn the grief of the sacrifice of their companions into strength.

Continuously develop the will of fire that is particularly capable of fighting, enduring hardship, and dedication.

Keep in mind the great trust, fulfill the mission, and rest in a down-to-earth manner.

This is to comfort the spirits of the deceased.

Live up to the expectations of the villagers. "

As soon as he finished speaking, all the Konoha ninjas shouted as if they were drunk:

"It will live up to the expectations of the villagers."

.........

After the shouting stopped, Uchiha Tunan stretched out his hand and waved to the side.

A gray-haired old woman came to the memorial monument with the help of an ANBU ninja.

As soon as the old woman reached the memorial monument, she couldn't help but burst out emotionally. She kept stomping on the crutches in her hands and cried bitterly:

"Yandu, my dear grandson..."

When everyone saw this, they were all filled with sadness and burst into tears.

Uchiha Tunan raised his head, and the bandages on his eyes were soaked.

Then he walked forward, took the old lady's arm, and comforted:

"Grandma, don't cry.

From now on, all the descendants of Konoha will be your grandchildren.

You must take good care of yourself. "

After that, he simply hugged the old lady, patted her back, and kept comforting her.

Let the old woman's tears wet her chest.

At this moment, everyone present saw Uchiha Tunan's approachable and soft side.

After all, most people have only heard of various legends about Uchiha Tunan.

And a small number of them had only seen Uchiha Tunan fighting from a distance.

Although the recognition coverage in Konoha Village is enough, Uchiha Tunan still needs to polish his character.

To avoid becoming Uchiha Madara, move closer to Senju Hashirama.

When Uchiha Tunan felt that the show was almost done, he gently lifted the old woman upright and handed her to the ANBU standing by.

Then he let out a long sigh, turned around and faced everyone and said:

“In fact, a large part of those who came here today are like grandma and belong to the family members of the heroes and martyrs.

Money is something external to oneself. Once it is gone, it can be earned again.

But when the person is gone, he will never be seen again.

We can see that many names have been added to the memorial tablet.

Whose father, whose husband and son were they?

One more name means one more family's pain.

Here, I would like to say something to the families of the heroes and martyrs.

Konoha is a ninja village.

The development, progress, achievements and honors of Ninja Village.

The care, understanding and support of you Ninja families are inseparable.

Not only do you have to silently bear the mental pain of losing a loved one or being disabled.

In the future, we will have to overcome difficulties and pressures in life that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Here, the top management of various departments in Konoha have discussed and, in addition to pensions, they will also provide you with a certain degree of preferential treatment.

Konoha will never forget the outstanding achievements of any hero, let alone the selfless dedication of their families. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard bursts of whimpering from the crowd.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"I just slipped out of the house, and suddenly the house collapsed and he left..."

"Meiya, don't be sad. If the house collapses, it will collapse. From now on, my house will be your home."

"They said that my father was burned to death by that mysterious man..."

"My wife was trampled to death by the abominable Kyuubi when she was escaping."

.......

After a long time, the sad sound gradually became much quieter.

Uchiha Tunan took out a tissue from his pocket, pulled up the bandage, turned his back and wiped it.

Then he took a deep breath, straightened his expression, turned around and said loudly:

"Please also express your condolences, get over the sadness as soon as possible, and look forward to everything.

Here today, I have one more thing to announce. "

Having said this, Uchiha Tunan paused.

The ninja clan chiefs and Konoha senior officials below all stared at Uchiha Tunan with serious expressions.

Everyone naturally guessed what Uchiha Tunan was about to announce.

For these people, no matter how many people die, they cannot stir up their emotions.

Only matters related to interests are worthy of their concern.

But Uchiha Tunan looked solemn and said:

“The Yondaime-sama died in battle, leaving the position of Hokage vacant.

A village cannot be without shadow for a day.

But after all, the Fourth Generation has only been in office for a year, so it is not suitable for him to elect the Fifth Hokage.

Therefore, after high-level discussions, we unanimously decided to temporarily replace the Hokage with the experienced Third Generation.

Next, I would like to invite the third generation adults to speak to you. "

After saying that, Uchiha Tunan was seen retreating to the side, and Sarutobi Hiruzen walked out of the crowd and came to the memorial monument.

The heads of the clans had different expressions when they saw Hiruzen Sarutobi becoming Hokage again.

Especially Uchiha Fugaku, his eyes were fixed on Uchiha Tunan, with a look of confusion on his face.

You must know that from the Nine-Tails Rebellion until now, the entire Uchiha clan has been under house arrest.

Even in this mourning meeting, only Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader, participated.

There have been no discordant voices within the Uchiha clan because this time Uchiha Tunan's prestige was too great.

Everyone thought that Uchiha Tunan would succeed the fifth Hokage.

But now it was Sarutobi Hiruzen who returned to serve as Hokage.

Uchiha Fugaku was keenly aware that something seemed a little wrong.

"Ahem..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice, took a deep breath, and spoke loudly:

“Wherever the leaves are flying, the fire is endless.

....."

As expected, although the content of Sarutobi Hiruzen's speech was carefully prepared, it still changed the soup without changing the medicine.

Fortunately, Konoha ninjas are generally not very educated, and they still follow the same tactics as Sarutobi Hiruzen.

By the time Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his speech, it was already approaching noon.

“The mourning ceremony starts here.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, we will hold a ninja clan meeting.

Please invite the heads of each ninja clan to come to the Hokage Building. "

The mourning ceremony ended and everyone left the memorial monument one after another.

Uchiha Tunan had just walked out of the Memorial Monument Square when he was caught by Uchiha Fugaku's arm.

But when Uchiha Tunan turned his head, he said with a puzzled look on his face: "Lord Fugaku, what's the matter?"

Uchiha Fugaku looked around, then said solemnly:

"Tunan, why is the Hokage the Third Generation?

Now that your legs have recovered, and with your status as a perfect Jinchuuriki, you are fully qualified to succeed the Fifth Hokage.

Is there something wrong here? "

Uchiha Tunan shook his head slightly and said:

"Didn't I just tell you the specific reasons?

The Fourth Hokage has only been in office for a year, and the fifth Hokage will soon appear in Konoha.

Spread the word whether it's good or bad.

We have to think about Konoha's reputation. "

However, Uchiha Fugaku was so easy to fool. He tightened his grip on Uchiha Tunan's arm slightly and said in a deep voice: "This is not a reason."

What should I do if a lie fails to deceive anyone?

Then add the appropriate demeanor and tone and make up a lie.

But seeing Uchiha Tunan's expression change slightly, he pondered for a long time before slowly speaking:

“This matter is very complicated.

First, the masked man that night can be concluded to be an Uchiha clan member.

The second is that Naruto deals with too many things every day.

I'm blind. If I want to correct documents, I need to use sensory ninjutsu at all times.

Although I was lucky enough to survive, the chakra belongs to Kyuubi after all, not my own.

I can't tell you the specific situation.

I hope you won't think too much and don't tell anyone. "

Uchiha Fugaku heard this in confusion, only to hear that Uchiha Toonan was unable to succeed the Fifth Hokage because he was implicated by that mysterious clan member.

And Uchiha Tunan seems to have some physical problems.

"Is this...is this..."

That's right, after all, Tunan was really dead at that time.

There are definitely some drawbacks to being resurrected from the dead.

But...who is that mysterious man?

Uchiha Fugaku frowned and wanted to explain to Uchiha Tunan.

But since the other party has already said it, it’s hard to elaborate, so it’s hard to continue asking.

I can only guess slowly when I go home.

Uchiha Tunanmi stabilized Uchiha Fugaku and whispered with a serious face:

“While you are free now, go and inform the clan members.

In the evening, a clan meeting was held at Nanga Shrine. "

Uchiha Fugaku was still confused at this time, but seeing Uchiha Toonan's serious expression, there must be something big going on.
