Chapter 67: Funeral
The rain was dripping.
There were many trifles, and the funeral of the Great Elder was not officially held until the 27th day of his death.
The deceased is the greatest, although the patriarch Uchiha Shigeru died of apology, the family also tried to preserve his dignity, and the specifications of the burial were the same as usual, but they were only as low-key as possible, and the funeral of the great elder who unfortunately died of "illness" was solemn and grand.
Sincerely, it is all a solemn and solemn black, the walls and trees are shrouded in black veil, and occasionally you can hear the suppressed cry, the only bright color, perhaps the flame-like bright red on the family emblem, but under the strong color contrast, it highlights the depth of black. Carrying the coffin and burying it was all carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of the elders of the family, and the Hokage, the patriarchs of the various families, and even the daimyo of the Fire Country sent a special envoy to send precious incense.
Cheng took the world with him, and the two of them greeted everyone one by one surrounded by members of the family, which was not only the need for etiquette, but also the announcement of the new ruler to the major forces in the village, Ape Fei's calm gaze, his complicated look, and the calm scrutiny of the various patriarchs, these two young men dressed in the same black clothes just met one by one with cold expressions.
From this day on, at least nominally, the Uchiha family will be their world.
The rain of early spring was cold to the bone, gradually wetting everyone's black clothes, and after Fu Yue read the eulogy in a solemn tone on the stage, the clansmen who stood all over the courtyard bowed their heads deeply.
"Into the ground!" Uchiha Masamoto said in a loud voice, and four clansmen dressed in unique costumes stepped forward, their faces solemn, and the grave was gradually filled with mud, and the coffin was gone.
The sound of crying sounded in all directions, as if infected with the sadness of this moment, and the rain falling in the sky was also even greater.
Standing in front of everyone, Makoto watched indifferently, and the coffin was filled in with dirt little by little, bulging, and finally becoming solid.
He suddenly recalled the first time he met the old man lying in the grave.
At that time, he was just a waste wood that couldn't even be condensed in chakra, and in order to show humility, Makoto didn't raise his head to look at the old man who was high up all the time.
The family does not raise waste.
What Cheng deserves for his own cultivation, the family gives a lot of it, but Cheng doesn't deserve it, and the family is also stingy.
The first mission is to stop the water and survive the near death.
The second time was a special assessment, and I encountered the root product "Wood Man", which specializes in restraining sincerity.
Then there is the death of this biological father, Uchiha Totoyo.
And then ...... It is the death of light.
Every assessment given by the family has a clear purpose.
"Salute!" After the tomb was filled, Masamoto continued to sing in accordance with the time-honored family tradition.
The crowd knelt down, and Makoto, as the leader who took over, took the three-pillar incense handed over by the person next to him, bowed to the new tomb, and inserted it in the incense burner.
I didn't know at the time, but now that I think about it, all this is traceable, from the beginning, this old man who was in charge of the family never trusted him. Not only to save Makoto's life, but also to find ways to force him to open his eyes with various stimuli, but also to pay attention to leaving foolproof recovery methods at all times. Makoto didn't dance under the eyes of a lion for a moment.
Since Cheng has this talent, then give full play to it, the crisis of his own death can't stimulate the potential in his blood? It doesn't matter, the family investigation has learned that you have a father who has not seen him for a long time, but is very eager to be recognized by him. After the death of his father, there are no affectionate relatives? It doesn't matter, the family can train for you.
This is the control and domination of the superior over the subordinate, resources, opportunities, training, and crises are just the established background and plot, and even the ending, this old man has arranged it for him very thoughtfully.
However, the powerful old man did not expect that in the end, it was Cheng who stood in front of his grave, burning incense and praying for the rest of the deceased.
"Rite over!"
The rain was falling loudly, and clear water bloomed on the ground, and the mournful cry behind him overpowered the sound of the rain, and Makoto, who was standing in a place where no one could see, lowered his head and laughed silently and wantonly because he couldn't bear this ridiculous situation.
#####
The world is black and white.
It's like a silent fast-forward silent movie, the cumbersome etiquette norms make people tired to vomit, and someone arranges it for you early on what to say or do.
The reason why funerals have become a ritual may be precisely because of this kind of general cumbersomeness, which inhibits people's thinking and makes people fall into a state of mechanical numbness, but they have no heart to grieve.
The girl woke up to a cry, and her grandfather's coffin had been buried in the towering tomb.
Never to be seen again.
At this moment, the girl named Uchiha World was shocked to realize this reality.
The crying around rolled up the tide of sadness that the world had suppressed in her heart, making her almost faint.
I can't cry, I want to be strong.
I don't know how many people's eyes are fixed on the body of the Uchiha world, her eyes are cold, her posture is solemn and calm, and no one dares to look at her for more than three seconds.
Grandpa - Dead. The old man who took his family as his lifelong goal and spoiled himself unconditionally died.
This thought suddenly became real, and she couldn't help but shudder.
Everyone is going to die, and if you die in the family, it will be heavy, and if you die in others, it will be light.
If the family wants to continue, it must fight, compete for living space, and compromise and compromise each other's interests.
Compared to the clan, outsiders are nothing, and compared to the entire family, the sacrifice of individual clansmen is also a matter of course.
If there is an element of instability in the family, it must be removed before it can cause harm.
……
Chakras are a truly transformative force.
Worldwide food and clothing will wipe out the soil in which war was born! Peace will come because of this.
The abundant productivity brought by Chakra will make it possible for everyone to live happily, a world where there is no hunger, no war, and everyone can pursue their own happiness, and a world full of light, which will surely be realized in our hands.
……
Peace......
A world without struggle, a world full of light......
Makoto...... If there really is such a world, then show me how to make it happen.
A little crazy, a little confused, a little indifferent, the girl's beautiful eyes passed through the rain curtain and stared at the young man in front of her.
The young man bowed his head, and his shoulders shrugged as if in great grief.
So no one saw that a pair of cold flowers were quietly blooming in the girl's blood-colored eyes.
