Chapter 137
The sky was dark, there was not a ray of sunshine, and it was still raining, and although it was morning, it looked like evening.
At this moment, under the shadow rock of the Hokage of the past generations, there was a large group of people standing densely.
Two days have passed since the end of the war between Konoha and Sand Shinobi.
After the end of the war, Markey used the tools of Konoha to communicate with the village of Sand Hide, and reported the news of the disappearance of the four generations of Kazekage to the village of Sand Hide.
Then a day ago, the exact news of Kazekage Raksha came from Sand Hidden Village, and his body had been found by the ninjas of the search force sent by Sand Hidden Village on the border between the Land of Wind and Fire, and it was confirmed that he was dead.
Although Konoha suffered a lot of losses in this battle, many ninjas were killed, and even the Hokage died, because the Sand Hidden side claimed that he was actually deceived by Orochimaru, so it was not the intention to attack Konoha.
And the reason why their leader Kazekage also died at the hands of Orochimaru like the Hokage, they are all victims like Konoha, and only Orochimaru is the real culprit, so this time Sand Hide's betrayal of Konoha can only be ended in the end, and he was not punished by Konoha.
After the deliberations of the high-level leaders of the Sand Hidden Village, Ma Ji, who was still in Konoha, negotiated with the three elders including Tuanzo, and after signing the peace agreement between Konoha and Sand Hide again, he left Konoha with the remaining Sand Shinobi.
Of course, Konoha would let go of Sha Yin so easily, definitely not because of the words that the other party said, it was just to give both sides a step down.
The real reason is because they don't have enough strength to sanction each other now, it's not that Konoha can't beat Shayin, but their enemy is not only the Shayin family, but several other big countries have also been eyeing Konoha all the time, if their strength is consumed too much on this, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not face the combined forces of several major powers again like they did in World War III.
And after sending away the ninja of the sand hide, Konoha began to prepare for the funeral of the ninja who died in this battle, among them, most of the ninjas were hastily buried, which is also very normal, after all, although the ninja has power, but the identity is just a tool for fighting, even if he dies, there will be no grand funeral.
But some ninjas, because of their status, will still have privileges, whether in life or after death.
Everyone was dressed in black, and they looked at the last photos of the three generations of Hokage placed in front of them with sad faces, even if they were wet in the rain, they didn't care.
There are a lot of people who come, leaving aside the middle and lower ninjas, almost all of them are here except for some people who belong to major families or organizations and are on a mission, and the three generations of Hokage have great prestige in Konoha, even among the successive Hokages, they can be ranked first.
After all, he has been the Hokage for too long, and he has ruled Konoha for decades, which is longer than the combined reign of the previous two Hokages, as for the fourth Hokage Bo Feng Shui Gate died not long after taking office, let alone compared with him, and the three generations of Hokage still take the people-friendly route, which is easier to gain the approval of the villagers.
That's why after he died, so many ninjas came to mourn.
Sakura was also in the midst of everyone, standing with Eleven Xiaoqiang, although all of them in the gang except Shikamaru were only shinobi, but because most of them were the heirs of the major families, they were fortunate to stand in the first row.
She had a sad look on her face, just like everyone else.
But frankly speaking, this sad expression is just her disguise, for the death of the third generation of Hokage, Sakura did not have any sadness in her heart, on the contrary, his death made Sakura a lot easier.
For the three generations of Hokage, although his performance in the animation is extremely great, especially in stark contrast to Danzo, as long as you dig deeper, you can find that he also has countless black spots on his body, so it is difficult for Sakura to have a good impression of him.
Even if you don't talk about the previous impression, when fighting against Iara, Sakura conceded defeat in front of everyone, and her behavior will have a very bad impact on Konoha's image, and those viewers will despise Konoha ninjas because of this.
And as one of the few people who knows his true strength, the three generations of Hokage will definitely not turn a blind eye to Sakura's behavior, it was in the competition at the time, so the three generations of Hokage didn't say anything, but after the middle ninja exam is over, if he survives, he will definitely investigate his behavior.
So, in this respect, Sakura would also be grateful to Orochimaru, if it weren't for the fact that he killed the three generations of Hokage, Sakura would definitely have a lot of trouble.
The funeral of the three generations of Hokage ended quickly, after all, Konoha was in a very dangerous situation now, and there was not so much time left for the ninja to grieve.
After the funeral, Sasuke left with Kakashi, who had not been able to break through the defenses of the Kankuro puppet until Kakashi and Maki found them, which made it difficult for him to accept, so he didn't stop and asked Kakashi to take him to training.
On the way back, Sakura looked at Naruto's still lost soul, and suddenly couldn't help but say.
"Naruto, look at you, Hokage-sama's death has had a great impact on you."
Naruto was still immersed in grief and replied absentmindedly, "When I was a child, every time I was a child, Grandpa Hokage came to send me a bailout, and he would play with me, fish with me, and grill fish for me to eat. ”
"Before I went to school, all the villagers rejected me, and he was the only one who would be nice to me."
"It was also he who told me that the Hokage is the person everyone likes and admires the most, and as long as I become the Hokage, I will no longer be hated by the people in the village." Naruto said, thinking back to the scene he had spent with the three Hokages, his nose souring and his eyes moistened.
"Then have you ever thought about it, Grandpa Hokage is so good to you, he is Hokage." Sakura suddenly said coldly.
"Sakura-chan, what do you mean by this, of course Grandpa Hokage is the Hokage, the most beloved person among the villagers, is there anything wrong with this?" Naruto was stunned and looked at Sakura in bewilderment.
"Don't you understand? He's the Hokage, if he's really that nice to you, why don't you order the villagers who discriminate against you to stop rejecting you? ”
"You also said that he is the most beloved person by the villagers, and if he does this, the villagers will not reject you anymore, right?"
"Then when you were a child, you wouldn't have had such a miserable life, right?"
"This... This..."Naruto was a little confused by Sakura's question, and after a while, he reluctantly said: "That's because, this is a difficulty that I am destined to overcome by myself, Grandpa Hokage told me that every great person, the heavens will send him many challenges, and only if he passes these challenges, can he become a great person, and I am the same, the rejection of the villagers, that is, the tribulations sent to me by the heavens, only I can overcome them with my own strength, if I take shortcuts, You will never be able to become a qualified Hokage. ”
After speaking, Naruto looked at Sakura and said first: "By the way, Sakura, that guy from Sasuke has already gone to cultivate, I can't be thrown away by him, I'll go first." ”
