Chapter 62: The Funeral (Part I) (New Books for Collection, Recommendations~)
Since it was determined that the three generations of Hokage and Konoha high-level officials were temporarily unable to pay attention to the Uchiha clan, the time for Uchiha to run to his small base has gradually increased.
However, Uchiha Kei didn't dare to be so arrogant, even when he was studying and recording the kaleidoscope, he didn't forget to separate a shadow clone to stay in the forest outside.
This shadow clone can't help but be used to confuse the watcher who is likely not to exist, and of course it can also be used to confuse people passing by, and at the same time, it is feasible for the shadow clone to be used for cultivation, which Naruto Uzumaki has confirmed.
Since that is effective, Uchiha Kai will not miss this kind of thing, the only pity is that Uchiha Kai's chakra is not much, otherwise he would also want to learn Naruto Uzumaki.
In any case, Uchiha Kei got what he wanted, and he could record and study his kaleidoscope writing wheel eye well.
It's just a pity that Uchiha Kai only made some simple notes and had to stop for a while, and the news of the victory of the frontline water gate without a fight, or the successive victories, also spread back to the village like snowflakes.
Iwa Ninja Village, which had long lost all faith in this war, simply could not withstand the offensive of Bo Feng Shuimen and Jiraiya, especially when the supply line was cut off.
Although there are still many Iwa ninja who have decided to fight to the death, and even want to sneak attack Nara Shikahisa and others who came to negotiate, it is a pity that the country of earth no longer wants to waste their energy on the battlefield of the country of grass.
Things have come to this point, and all the minds of the land country are focused on how to preserve their strength, how to end this battle with dignity, and how to deal with Yun Nin, who is full of muscles in his brain.
Now in the country of grass, except for some troops who need to watch out for Iwa ninja and the troops who need to protect the negotiation, the other ninjas have basically returned to Konoha.
It's really hard to imagine that they fought to the death a month ago, but because of the land country itself, and Bo Feng Shuimen led the Uchiha Kai team to sneak attack the Kamino Bridge, so that this war almost came to an end!
Of course, the most important thing is Bo Feng Shuimen, although the reputation of Uchiha Kai is also good in this battle, but everyone remembers that it is 'under the leadership of Bo Feng Shuimen'.
What's more, Bo Feng Shuimen's contribution to the entire war, with his existence in the battle of victory, also made the prestige of the water gate even more rising, and for a while, the 'golden flash of Konoha' in the ninja fame overwhelmed everything.
With such prestige, Bo Feng Shuimon returned to Konoha Village, and the battlefield of the country of grass no longer needed him to stay for the time being, Uchiha Kai heard that the three generations of Hokage seemed to have negotiated with the Sand Ninja, so the next step was to send Pig Deer Butterfly to negotiate with the Iwa Shinobi.
Uchiha Kai couldn't help but shake his head when he knew about this, it seems that the three generations of Hokage were really a little scared by this war - as the victorious country, he actually took the initiative to negotiate with the defeated country, instead of waiting for the defeated country to come over by himself.
It may be that the price paid by Konoha is too great, and he thinks that Konoha is no longer suitable to continue fighting, so he made this decision that does not look like a victorious country at all - especially the terms he gave!
You must know that Onoki is also anxious now, and Iwa Shinobu is now also scared by Bo Feng Shuimen, and the three generations may harm the interests of many people.
However, this approach is actually not surprising to Uchiha Kei, because it is almost the same as the situation that happened to the Hyuga clan in the future.
Although it seems that the methods are very different, the essence has basically been determined - to sacrifice the interests of part of the benefits in exchange for the interests of Konoha as a whole, and the interests of this part can be a family or the ninja of the entire Konoha family.
As for whether the so-called interests of Konoha as a whole are the interests of the village or the interests of the Konoha higher-ups, it is an interesting and thought-provoking topic.
However, these things have nothing to do with Uchiha Kai, he is studying his kaleidoscope writing wheel eye carefully, and every day he will record all kinds of data to judge the gap between the kaleidoscope and the ordinary writing wheel eye.
This gap is not in the aspect of Hitomi, but the increase of these eyes on Uchiha Kai after excluding Hitomi, such as insight, body coordination, illusion amplification, and ninjutsu control, etc., but these data Uchiha Kai has not yet been summarized He is going to stop, because the three generations are going to hold a Konoha funeral.
War always requires human sacrifice, and everyone understands this truth, so they become more and more numb in the constant life and death.
Ninjas, who are killing machines, are even more numb, disregarding not only the lives of others, but also their own.
But one day, when this kind of sacrifice befalls the people around them, they find that they are not as numb as they imagined, and this is the best portrayal now.
The best way to get rid of this numbness is to have a memorial that reminds these ninjas that they are still 'sentient beings'.
At the same time, it is also a political show, whether it is to sincerely remember the ninjas who sacrificed for Konoha or to show the recognition of these sacrificed ninjas by the Konoha higher-ups, it is an inevitable thing.
Kei Uchiha wasn't very interested in such a thing, but as a shinobi in Konoha and a ninja who participated in the war himself, Kei Uchiha could only participate with Uchiha Fugaku.
"It's also a manifestation of identity, right?"
Almost all of the people who came to attend this funeral were Shinobi, except for some civilian Shinobi who had made meritorious contributions, that is, the patriarchs of some big families and the like, Uchiha Kai also saw Kakashi and Bo Feng Shuimon.
Uchiha Kei stood in the second row of the Uchiha clan in a black kimono, which made Uchiha Kei feel uncomfortable, and he preferred to wear his combat uniform.
Looking at the crowd around him, as well as the dense names on the monument, Uchiha Kai couldn't help but feel a little emotional, even if he was already a little numb.
There was no rain today, but the weather was unusually low, just like the hearts of most of the civilian ninjas present.
No one at the funeral was telling the life of the deceased, no one was crying, it was quiet, there was no sound.
Everyone just stood quietly and silently, and everyone did their best.
Everyone knows that it is useless to say this, and he will never be mentioned again after this day - his name is a sad word.
His story will become a past that no one will talk about, dissipating under this sky, disappearing into the dust of history, leaving only the name, which has no meaning but contains great significance.
"Patriarch, I heard that the third generation Hokage may be about to resign, and someone proposed that you nominate and elect the fourth generation Hokage....." At this moment, Uchiha Kai, who was also in a low mood, suddenly heard a guy next to him whisper.
"Don't talk about it anymore." Uchiha Fugaku didn't open his eyes and directly rejected the matter.
"What is Kakashi going to do with that?" The voice suddenly continued: "He is not from our clan, but he has a writing wheel eye..."
"If you say that again, I'll do it to you."
At this moment, Uchiha Kei suddenly spoke, his eyes had turned scarlet, and the three magatama slowly swirled in his eyes.....
