Konoha: My wife is Tsunade.

Chapter 50 Taking the initiative to fire the first shot

Konoha Memorial Garden.

It was ordered to be built by Senju Tobema when he returned from the front line.

With the assistance of Tudun ninjutsu, the construction of the comforting cemetery was very fast, and it basically took only a few days to complete it.

On the day it was built, a large number of Konoha villagers and ninjas, all dressed in black and holding flowers in their hands with solemn expressions, stood neatly in the memorial garden.

Uzumaki Mito presides over this grand ceremony. She is the most suitable candidate besides Senshou Feijian in terms of prestige and status.

And the night before the ceremony, Chidao Chiba found Uzumaki Mito and gave her a speech.

Uzumaki Mito felt it was unnecessary at first and felt that such things should wait until Senju Tobirama returned.However, Chishima Chiba insisted again and again, and Uzumaki Mito finally had no choice but to agree.

Walking at the front, Uzumaki Mito turned around and looked around, frowning slightly. She did not find Chishima Chiba and Tsunade.

After stretching for a while, Uzumaki Mito was ready to start his condolence speech before the two of them arrived.

"Grandma, please wait."

Seemingly stuck, Chiba Chiba and Tsunade came from a distance, with Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and some other characters from the original book between them.

Their steps were slow but determined.Moreover, everyone's face was both proud and sad, which seemed a bit contradictory and weird.

"Qianye, they are..."

"They are the descendants of the ninjas who sacrificed their lives for the village in this war, but after they sacrificed, they are not eligible to enter the mourning garden. I think this is unfair and against the will of fire."

Qiandao Chiba spoke very seriously, and this was his first shot!
After the words were finished, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, who were leading the charge, also glanced gratefully at Chiba Chiba at one side, their eyes instantly became firm, and they raised their heads to look at Uzumaki Mito in the front.

At the same time, Uzumaki Mito also guessed Qiandao Chiba's plan at once, and also realized the problems exposed in this memorial ceremony, and immediately questioned.

"Who is in charge of organizing this sacrifice?"

"Mito-sama, it's me."

Following the sound, Uzumaki Mito immediately recognized the person as Shimura Koichi, the current leader of the Shimura clan.

"And me, Mito-sama."

After glancing at him again, he realized that the man Uzumaki Mito also recognized was Chuichiro Sarutobi, the current leader of the Sarutobi clan.

"Kōichi, Chuichiro, please explain."

Uzumaki Mito launched an attack in public, and the Konoha villagers and ninjas who came to attend the memorial ceremony focused their attention on the two men.

"Mito-sama, the place of the mourning garden is limited, and the number of ninjas killed in battle is too many, so we plan to limit it in terms of merit..."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Uzumaki Mito suddenly became angry, while Chishima Chiba, who was standing behind, was determined.

As long as Mito Uzumaki carries the banner, there is no way for Sarutobi, Shimura and other ninjas to steal the results of this battle!
"Mito-sama, such a trivial matter..."

"Small matter, tell me this is a small matter?!" Uzumaki Mito asked directly, "Hiroichi, Chuichiro, have you forgotten the will of fire!"

"Leaves are an insignificant part of a big tree, but precisely because of this, the more leaves there are, the more trees will grow and become successful!"

"Remembering only the branches and forgetting the leaves is forgetting the roots and running counter to the will of fire!"

Taking a step forward, Uzumaki Mito remembered the speech that Chiba Chiba gave him the day before, and uttered some words.

"Heroes we must remember, and those green leaves that assist heroes, we must remember even more. Although they are insignificant, they also burned themselves to light up the village and contributed to the stable life of the younger generation!"

"Their blood cannot be shed in vain. They are eligible to rest in the mourning garden. No matter how many they are, we should remember their names!"

"Konoha is the joint achievement of branches and leaves, not just one family. He represents all of us, not a small part!"

"And ordinary does not mean mediocrity. Even because we remember them, their ordinaryness will become great and worthwhile."

"What is the Will of Fire? It is never a free donation, but a paid contribution!"

"This compensation means that they can be remembered after their dedication, the elders and children left behind after their dedication can be protected by us, the will left behind by their dedication can be continued, and their dedication can make the village better! "

Pop, pop, pop.

As soon as Uzumaki Mito's voice fell, there was warm applause at the scene, while Shimura Koichi and Sarutobi Tadaichiro stood there sweating profusely, at a loss.

They never imagined that just a small gesture could elicit such a big reaction from Mito Uzumaki.

In fact, their idea is very simple. After the victory of the First World War, although the Thousand Hands Clan suffered heavy casualties, their prestige reached its peak, which seriously squeezed the space for other ninjas to absorb the prestige of the people.

But after the construction of the Memorial Garden, Shimura, Sarutobi and other Konoha ninjas also had the opportunity to show their faces and gain popularity among the people.

They didn't try to compete with the Thousand Hands Clan for the top spot. After all, after this war, the Thousand Hands Clan was empty, and they deserved it.

But those civilian ninjas with no names and no surnames, Shimura, Sarutobi and others can overwhelm them and absorb their credit and prestige to themselves.

It's just... Mito Uzumaki's reaction was too intense. Not only did he redefine the Will of Fire in front of so many people, he even made it impossible for them to step down.

"Mito-sama, we didn't think about it." Shimura Hiroichi immediately relented, "I will expand the comfort cemetery so that all the martyrs in World War I can rest here and enjoy the memorial service of the whole village."

"It's not too late to make up for it, so go ahead and make preparations, and today's memorial service is temporarily put on hold. Let the martyrs who were excluded by you be buried first. After the expansion is completed, it will be the turn of others."

"Of course, it's a bit unfair to do so, so I decided to let the dead members of the Thousand Hands family be the last ones to be buried in the Memorial Garden."

Uzumaki Mito's handling was also very appropriate. With a few words, all the dissatisfied Konoha and ninja patriarchs were suppressed. In the end, they could only pinch their noses to get out of the way, allowing Chiba Chiba, Tsunade, and Orochimaru behind Others came forward with a mighty team.

The next process is simple, digging a pit, burial, giving a speech, and paying homage to all.

"Chiba, thank you."

Afterwards, Orochimaru and Jiraiya found Chiba Chishima together, bowed deeply at 90° to express their gratitude, and did not want to get up for a long time.

"We are classmates, thank you for what you say, and I am not alone for the two of you, but for the will of fire."

"But I'm still very grateful. If it weren't for you, my parents would have been buried in the wilderness."

"Let's not talk about this, do you have any plans for the future?" Qiandao Qianye revealed his other purpose.

"I don't have any big plans. I just want to study hard at the ninja school, inherit my parents' legacy, and try to become a useful person to the village."

Orochimaru's words were simple, but Qiandao Chiba noticed that Orochimaru's fate had reached an inflection point.

Because of Qiandao Chiba's intervention, Orochimaru did not initiate the first round of thinking about the meaning of life, but strengthened the true will of fire perfected by Qiandao Chiba.

This is a good thing, Qiandao Chiba will naturally not miss this opportunity.

Then he looked at Jiraiya and said, "What about you, Jiraiya?"

"Actually, I haven't thought about it. It should be the same as Orochimaru." Jiraiya became much more stable at this time, but the subjective aspect was a bit vague.

Nodding, Chishima Chiba extended an invitation to the two of them.

"Orochimaru, Jiraiya, do you two want to join the team I created?" Chiba Chishima explained, "It requires strength to carry out the legacy of our dead ancestors, and you are a little weak now. And by chance, I can help you. "

"Can I?" Orochimaru's eyes lit up, and his words were a little hasty.

"Of course, you are an orphan of a martyr. As long as your conduct is not bad, you should receive preferential treatment." Qiandao Chiba affirmed, "And not only you, but all orphans of martyrs should be treated like you."

After finishing speaking, Chiba Chiba patted Orochimaru on the shoulder, while looking at Jiraiya to the side.

"I will join too!"

"Okay." Qiandao Chiba stretched out his hand, "Welcome to join my team!"

Then, Jiraiya and Orochimaru looked at each other, folded their palms on top of Chishima Chiba's palms, and tossed them up and down heavily.
