Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 201: Three Generations’ Funeral, Let’s Open the Champagne

After experiencing that thrilling battle, Konoha Village was greeted by a drizzle.

This rain seemed like tears shed by God for the lost lives, falling gently on this vicissitudes-filled land, trying to wash away all the pain and dust.

In the rain, the leaves looked devastated.

The once towering Hokage Building has now become a ruin, and the broken walls and ruins appear even more dilapidated under the scouring of rain.

Steel bars and stones were scattered all over the ground, and the destroyed windows were gaping blankly, like silently shouting mouths, telling of the tragedy that had happened before.

Fortunately, the mission hall is still intact, and at this moment, the Konoha Conference is being held here urgently.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn and depressing, as if there was an invisible boulder pressing heavily on everyone's heart.

Sitting in the main seat, Tsunade had a solemn expression, her eyes showing fatigue and determination.

As one of the three ninjas, she was well aware of the heavy responsibility she was shouldering at the moment, and the future of the entire Konoha depended on her.

Sitting in the deputy seats, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En had serious expressions and furrowed brows. The years had left deep marks on their faces, but their eyes still flashed with the loyalty and concern of the older generation of ninjas for Konoha.

The fourth-generation disciple Hatake Kakashi, who is sitting in a wheelchair, also has a high status. Now Kakashi looks lonely, with his hands weakly resting on the armrests of the wheelchair, his eyes are full of remembrance of the deceased Hokage and worry about the current situation of Konoha.

Hinata Hiashi has a tall and straight posture and a stern face.

Inuzuka Tsumugi was dressed in tight clothes, and his eyes showed the alertness unique to the Inuzuka clan.

Aburame Shiwei was hidden in the shadows, revealing only a pair of deep eyes, making it impossible to see his expression.

The veteran trio of Pig, Deer and Butterfly no longer had the ease they once had.

A group of jonin looked at each other with grief-stricken expressions.

The head of the Kurama clan, Kurama Murakumo, looked at Uchiha Yu for a while, then closed his eyes and rested.

In addition, there are many Konoha high-ranking officials and patriarchs of small clans that Uchiha Yu has never heard of.

And Uchiha Yu, standing among the crowd, seemed a little out of place.

After a long time, it was Might Guy who spoke first.

"Why did you call Yu to the meeting? He..."

Mitomon Yan sighed and explained: "There are only two people left in the Uchiha clan. Although Uchiha Sasuke is the son of Fugaku, he is still young and does not count."

As soon as these words were spoken, they actually defined what happened last night.

Mitomon cleared his throat, "Just to put it simply, last night, Danzo secretly colluded with Uchiha Itachi and attacked the Uchiha clan, killing and injuring countless people in order to stop the rebellion of the Uchiha clan."

He paused here and said, "According to the eyewitness Uchiha Yu, he saw a mysterious Uchiha ninja with a strong aura and was very old. Based on his description, I can only think of one person."

Everyone's breathing stopped, and Mitomon En continued: "Uchiha Madara."

"Uchiha Madara!? How! How is this possible!"

Everyone was in chaos, and Tsunade shouted, "Quiet!"

They still had to give face to the Sannin, so the Konoha high-ranking officials shut their mouths.

Mitomon En's eyes were fixed on Uchiha Yu's face: "There is no reason for this brat to have seen Madara's appearance, and the Root team led by Danzo, with as many as 30 or 40 people, didn't leave a single one alive."

"Combining all the evidence." Mizutomon Yan said solemnly: "Ban may still be alive."

Now everyone present was dumbfounded!
How is this different from a ghost story?!

Utatane Koharu sighed, "Danzo wanted to annihilate the Uchiha clan. As the former head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Madara could no longer hold back and killed Danzo. The missing Uchiha clan members and Itachi, who was in collusion with Danzo, should all be directly related to Madara."

Everyone present had a shocked expression, except for Uchiha Yu who looked like he was in despair.

Because he was the first to come up with this conclusion.
With Kakashi and Tsunade on his back.

Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En also had to listen to Uchiha Yu explain in detail what he saw last night.

Given the incredible record of annihilating the Root and killing Danzo, the two senior advisors had no choice but to believe the "truth" that Uchiha Yu said.

Mitomon Yan continued, "According to the investigation, when the Uchiha clan was plotting rebellion, Uchiha Yu was in the Snow Country and did not appear on the list. Due to his contributions to the village, his actions last night can be defined as self-protection. The details have been submitted to the daimyo, who will decide whether he is guilty or not."

"I can vouch for that." Kakashi propped himself up, "Yu risked his life twice to save mine. He is a teammate you can trust."

"That's right!" Might Guy also came out, "This kid is a good person!"

Yuhi Kurenai glanced at Asuma who was still in grief, and after thinking for a while, she spoke up: "As a genius ninja in the village, Uchiha Uchiha deserves more protection. In the last mission, he was...

When she said this, Kakashi gave her a look and Kurenai immediately shut up.

But everyone knew what she meant.

We cannot allow the last two remaining members of the Uchiha clan to suffer injustice again.

"Ahem." Utatane Koharu cleared her throat, "Danzo's actions seriously violated the will of the village. The village will protect the remaining two Uchiha clan members."

Her words basically shifted the blame of the village away from the Uchiha clan massacre.

And the conclusion was not only spoken to Uchiha Yu, but also to other families in the village and the rest of the ninjas.

Killing the donkey after it has done its job will only bring disaster to both your teeth and your lips.

Especially Hyuga Hiashi.

Now as the clan leader of the largest clan in the village, he has already sensed a subtle atmosphere.

The death of Sarutobi forced Konoha's senior advisors to stabilize people's hearts. If they continued to play Danzo's tricks at this time, Konoha would really fall apart.
Mitomon En tapped the table with his fingers, "Orochimaru killed Sarutobi Hiruzen. Now, we need to select a new Hokage."

When he said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's son, Sarutobi Asuma, stood up, turned around and walked out of the hall.

Although Xi Rihong's face was hurt, she still didn't chase after him.

"Well," Mitomon En looked around, "You guys list the candidates you think are suitable first, and I will personally submit them to the daimyo, and he will make the judgment."

Utane Koharu glanced at Tsunade who was sitting on the main seat: "I propose, Tsunade, you can do it."

When the ninjas heard that Tsunade was going to become the new Hokage, their fighting spirit was rekindled!
After all, most of them had met the legendary Three Ninjas, and some of the older ones had the honor of witnessing Tsunade's heroic performance in the Ninja World War.

If we send away the old and weak Sarutobi Hiruzen and replace him with a young Tsunade as the new Hokage, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing!
All the clans took collective action, but Tsunade objected directly, "I don't want to do it. After curing Kakashi's poison and treating the wounded in the village, I will leave the village with Shizune."

"Ah! Lady Tsunade! How can this be possible!"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade, you finally returned to Konoha. Now you are the Third Hokage. You have to take charge of the overall situation!"

"Lady Tsunade, please think about this! What will Konoha do without you?"

Tsunade shook her head: "I don't think I'm qualified to be a ninja again, let alone become the leader of ninjas. Let's just drop this proposal!"

Mitomonen sighed: "Tsunade, don't refuse yet, then does anyone agree that Jiraiya will be the fifth Hokage?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people who had just been hurt regained hope.

After all, no matter what, in a place like Riyue, male leaders are more respected.

Everyone talked for a long time, and finally the votes were given to Raiya with 19 votes and Tsunade with 10 votes.

"Well." Uchiha Yu raised his hand, "As the last member of the Uchiha clan, I should also have the right to vote, right? I think Tsunade is pretty good."

A few days passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was already Sarutobi's seventh day.

The sky over Konoha Village was gloomy, and fine raindrops were falling like sorrow, casting an even heavier layer of sadness over the funeral of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The whole village was immersed in solemnity and grief, and the streets and alleys were filled with an indissoluble haze.

The people attending the funeral were dressed in black, lined up neatly and quietly, their faces were full of sorrow, many of them had tears in their eyes, and sobbed softly.

In the crowd, Uchiha Yu stood quietly beside Sasuke who was in a wheelchair, holding an umbrella steadily for the young Sasuke.

The rain slid down the umbrella, forming crystal clear water curtains.

Sasuke's small body looked particularly frail in this depressing atmosphere. His eyes were confused and his young face was full of confusion and sadness.

He seemed unable to fully comprehend the heavy significance of this funeral. He was simply infected by the sorrowful mood around him and stared blankly at everything in front of him.

Uchiha Yune tilted the edge of the umbrella slightly, just enough to cover his facial expression.

He bit his lips tightly, trying his best to suppress the inappropriate urge to laugh.
There was no way. In his eyes, this so-called funeral was more like a farce.

He thought of what Sarutobi Hiruzen had done in the past, the injustice and persecution against the Uchiha clan, and an irrepressible ridicule welled up in his heart.

If he hadn't wanted to avoid revealing his true emotions, he would have laughed out loud on the spot.

The ceremony began slowly, with solemn and sad music flowing slowly in the air.

One by one, the ninjas slowly stepped forward with sad expressions, holding flowers in their hands that symbolized respect and remembrance, and gently placed them in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen's tombstone.

Their movements were gentle and slow, as if they were afraid of disturbing the deceased Hokage.

Even Hatake Kakashi, who was in a wheelchair, had to walk to the monument with the help of others and put the flowers down. As Kakashi moved, the crying around him became louder.

Everyone was immersed in this strong atmosphere of sorrow, with tears streaming down their faces.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yu found it increasingly difficult to suppress the smile in his heart.

His shoulders trembled slightly, and his body, which was trying hard to hold back a smile, began to lose control.

In order to avoid being noticed, he had no choice but to follow the crowd and "howl", trying to use the abrupt sound to cover up his own laughter that was about to overflow.

While pretending to cry, he secretly laughed at this hypocritical scene in his heart, but on the surface he had to pretend to be extremely sad, which made him feel extremely funny and ironic.

The death of the Hokage is death.

The death of more than 650 Uchiha clan members is not just death.

Who will remember them now?
Hypocritical Konoha
At this time, a yellow-haired kid rushed into the crowd.

Seeing Naruto's figure, several ninjas quickly grabbed this guy, "Naruto! This is the funeral of Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen! Don't make trouble!"

Naruto tried to hold back his tears, "I! I know! I-I came to give you flowers!"

When everyone saw that Naruto really had flowers in his arms, they embarrassedly made way for him.

Naruto walked up to Sarutobi Hiruzen's hero monument and placed a yellow flower on it.

He turned around to look at everyone's faces and rubbed his nose, "Humph! I will become a Hokage one day! Let's go!"

The people in the village had long understood Naruto's personality of liking to be in the spotlight, and no one cared.

Naruto walked as if he was cool, but there were still tears in his eyes.

He pretended that it was all rain water, wiped it twice, and walked to the outskirts of the crowd.

"Hmm? Kind brother?"

Following Naruto's gaze, he saw Uchiha Yu who was trying not to laugh.

"Brother!" Uzumaki Naruto walked forward and gave Uchiha Uchiha a bear hug on the back of his waist: "Why are you here too?"

Uchiha Yu suppressed his laughter: "I heard that meals are provided, so I came."

"Really? Really? Food included?!"

"Shhh" Uchiha Yu was speechless, "Keep your voice down, are you afraid that others will know that we are hungry?"

"Well, that's right."

Uzumaki Naruto noticed Sasuke's confused expression at this moment. He waved his palm in front of Sasuke curiously, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Sasuke had experienced more bad things in one night than Naruto had in his entire life.

The feeling of being born without parents is completely different from witnessing your parents die hundreds of times.

People are afraid of losing.

Even if there wasn't one in the beginning.

It seemed that Naruto was naturally curious about the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra. He looked at Naruto, but still put on a sour face and had no desire to communicate.

Under Tsunade's treatment, Sasuke got rid of most of the physical discomfort after Tsukuyomi, but the memories in his mind continued to stimulate him.

Nowadays, his mind is full of revenge, and even Uzumaki Naruto cannot arouse his interest.

"Weird~"

Naruto crossed his arms over his chest and squatted in the rain, silently playing with frogs in the puddle.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yu couldn't help but ask: "Hey, aren't you going home?"

Uzumaki Naruto pouted: "Didn't you say that meals are provided?"

Uchiha Yudu was so angry that he laughed at Naruto!
"Okay, let's go, I'll take you to eat."

It was raining heavily and most of the shops were closed due to the death of the Third Hokage.

And Ichiraku Ramen is the same as usual. The owner, Otsutsuki, doesn't care whether Naruto is the Nine-tailed Demon Fox or not, nor does he care about the death of the Third Hokage.

Keep making ramen and do business.

However, business in the store is not very good today. The fire a few days ago caused heavy losses to many villagers. Coupled with the death of three generations, they have no appetite to eat.

As a laborer, Uzumaki Naruto pushed the wheelchair that Uchiha Sasuke was sitting in to the store door. As soon as Naruto smelled the aroma of ramen, he hurriedly pushed the wheelchair in without even looking at the steps on the ground.

With a snap, Sasuke came into close contact with the ground, and his nose was almost crooked.
"Naruto." Uchiha Yu gritted his teeth, Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head embarrassedly, "Hehe, hehe"

At this moment, there was a lonely figure sitting in the corner of the shop.

When he heard someone coming behind him, he immediately shrank his body and hid in the corner, as if he was afraid of being seen.

Looking at the number of empty bowls, Uchiha Yu knew who that guy was.

Konoha’s biggest eater—Hyuga Hinata!
That's right, it's Hinata.

Hinata's appetite is much bigger than that of her peers, but her appetite was only exposed after she married Naruto.

Otsutsuki had issued ramen coupons by hand, but he would never dare to tell Hinata about it, for fear that Hinata would eat up all his money.

The young Naruto didn't know that the person sitting in the corner was his official partner. He was so focused on eating ramen that he shouted at the handgun, "Ramen uncle! Two thousand bowls of ramen!"

Uchiha Yu directly gave Naruto a charged heavy hammer, knocking him to the ground, and said to his hand: "Ten bowls first!"

The ramen was served quickly, and in order to quickly finish his second bowl, Naruto splashed the noodle soup everywhere.

However, no matter how fast he ate, he could not eat as fast as Uchiha Yu Nadi Yuan Yu Fuzhu, who directly opened his mouth and had half a bowl of noodles and soup, and finished the whole bowl of noodles in two bites.

Uchiha Sasuke, who was sitting next to him, still had dull eyes and looked worried.

When Uchiha Yu finished his sixth bowl, he turned to Sasuke and said, "Eat something. What do you want? Are you going on a hunger strike?"

Sasuke said nothing, just stared at the ramen in a daze.

Uchiha Yu sighed: "If you keep going hungry and bewildered like this, how long will it take for you to get revenge?"

Sasuke got motivated when he heard this, and he started slurping the noodles with a hand speed faster than Naruto!

Naruto on the side thought that Sasuke was going to snatch the remaining noodles from him, so he quickly swallowed the noodles without even chewing!

Uchiha Yu knew that his purse was no longer safe. Fortunately, he had touched a lot of Uchiha's treasures. He was very generous to his opponent and said, "Ten more bowls!"

After eating and drinking, three diners rubbed their stomachs, burped and picked their teeth behind their half-person-high bowls of ramen.

"It feels so good! I haven't eaten so well in a long time!" Uzumaki Naruto rubbed his stomach contentedly, "It would be great if I could eat so well every day."

Uchiha Yu covered his wallet and said, "You have to be on a good day to eat like this. You don't need to miss such an opportunity, you know!"

Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head: "Okay. By the way, big brother! Can you take me out of the village?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to see! I never went out when Grandpa Hokage was alive, and now he's gone."

"Don't even think about it." Uchiha Yu refused on the spot. The crime of absconding with the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki out of the village alone was much more serious than killing Danzo.

While the two were chatting, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly forced himself to stand up!
Seeing his staggering appearance, Uchiha Yu tilted his head, "Going to the bathroom?"

Sasuke took a deep breath, "Please! Teach me!"

"Teach what?" Uchiha Yu asked back.

Sasuke gritted his teeth, "A way to become stronger! A way to kill Itachi!"

Uzumaki Naruto interrupted: "Um, who is that Yuu?"

"It's not Yu, it's Itachi, one against seven." Uchiha Yu explained: "Seven days ago, the Uchiha clan was exterminated, and only Sasuke and I were left. His brother did it when he was one against seven."

Uzumaki Naruto was confused, "Why would his brother kill his own people?" When he said this, he suddenly noticed a pair of red eyes looking at him, and he immediately closed his mouth.

Sasuke continued: "Teach me!"

Uchiha Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible for me to teach you, but you can't learn what I know, and I'll have to find a teacher for you."

"I'm counting on you!" Sasuke kowtowed in the standard manner of a soldier.

It was not easy for Sasuke to do such a thing before he developed his cool personality.

Uchiha Yu smacked his lips and thought for a while, "Okay. I will communicate with the village in a few days. The ninja school can't teach you much practical things, so I will get you out and graduate early."

"But before that, I have to qualify as a jonin first before I can form a team. And before I qualify as a jonin, I have to take the chunin exam."
