By the time the three of them rushed back to the village, everything had already settled.

Sunagakure's Konoha Honkai plan fails, and Orochimaru's conspiracy is exposed. The third Hokage died, and he used the ghoul seal to take away one of Orochimaru's hands.

As the party at fault, Sungakure reached a settlement agreement with Konoha. It was agreed that Shagakure would make war reparations to Konoha in the form of gold dust, and Konoha formed a friendly alliance with Sagakure based on the principle of mutual benefit.

At the cost of losing a pair of hands, Orochimaru killed two village shadows and became the best MVP of the game.

As soon as Naruto and Sakura returned to the village with Sasuke, who was seriously wounded, they learned that three generations had died in battle.

Sakura was stunned for a moment, but Naruto didn't react and hurriedly urged.

"Sakura-chan, that Sasuke guy is running out of breath."

"Ahh Sakura came back to her senses abruptly and hurriedly took Sasuke to Konoha Hospital.

......

Two days later.

The sky was slightly bright, and the sky above the leaves was cloudy like ink.

Naruto sat up from the bed and stared at the wrapped bouquet of white chrysanthemums on the table for a long time before remembering that today was the funeral of the third generation.

Retracting his gaze, he stared at the ceiling for a few more moments, not as happy as he expected.

"The three generations of Hokage who died are good Hokage."

After a while, Naruto went into the bathroom to wash up in his slippers. After coming out, he changed into a black mourning dress, brought a big black umbrella and white chrysanthemum, and put on tactical boots and went out.

He didn't wear a forehead guard or leggings.

Slowly walked out of the door, swayed to Konoha Street and joined Sakura.

The sky was overcast, and huge clouds visible to the naked eye hovered overhead.

Until a touch of pink appeared at the entrance of the alley, Sakura had a sad face, wearing a black dress, and beckoned to Naruto the moment she saw her.

"Naruto."

"Hmm." Naruto stepped forward and walked side by side with Sakura, "How's Sasuke doing?" ”

Sakura shook her head and said in a depressed mood.

"My body is seriously damaged, and I am still in a coma, and I don't know when I will wake up."

"Open the spell mark twice, and that guy won't die because it's a big life." Naruto said, "It won't take long to be discharged, so there's no need to worry too much." ”

"Thank you, Naruto."

Sakura, who was walking side by side, lowered her face and bit her lip.

"If you hadn't arrived in time ......."

The two of them walked slowly, rustling footsteps sounded in the street, and Naruto glanced at Sakura with his peripheral vision.

"There's no need to say thank you for this kind of thing, it's supposed to be like this between companions."

"I know, I'm just a little ....." Sakura said in a low voice, as she seemed to be a little uncontrollable, "I can't help much every time, I can only watch you and Sasuke fight desperately." ”

"Every time...... Every time I feel useless, maybe I'm not fit to be a ninja at all. ”

With a click, Naruto's footsteps stopped.

"There's no one better suited to be a ninja than Sakura."

"What?" Sakura's face is covered with pear blossoms.

"Everyone's talent is different, sooner or later, you just haven't found your own ninja for the time being, there's no need to give up on yourself."

"But ........"

"It's nothing, let's go, the funeral of the three generations of Hokage-sama is about to begin." Naruto cast his gaze in one direction, and more and more people dressed in black gathered on the streets of Konoha .

"Don't say such stupid things in the future."

With that, Naruto raised his feet and walked towards the crowded area.

Sakura, who was standing in place, was stunned for a long time, then wiped away her tears and followed. The slender white legs under the black skirt swayed rapidly, and after a few quick steps, Sakura also merged into the crowd.

The funeral was held in an open-air stand, and the expressions on everyone's faces were dull and sad.

On a depressing rainy day, people began to lay flowers.

Naruto held the bouquet of white chrysanthemums that had been bought a few days in advance and looked a little wilted, and lined up in the long line to offer flowers in the rain. When it was his turn, he put the white chrysanthemum that he had prepared long ago in front of the flower stand of the three generations and left silently.

The funeral was not long, and after that, the sun pierced the rain clouds and lit up the village.

The crowd of people attending the funeral dispersed in droves, and Sakura had told Naruto in advance that he had something to go home first, and he didn't have much to do.

I was drenched in the rain, my clothes were sticky on my skin, and I was going to go home and take a shower first.

"Naruto!" Ino put a hand on his shoulder, leaned in and asked, "I heard that Sasuke was injured?" ”

"yes, still in a coma in the hospital." Naruto said as he walked, "What, you want to go see Sleeping Beauty?" ”

"No, you can't!" Ino bumped Naruto on the shoulder, walked forward side by side with him, and said, "There aren't many opportunities like this, that's Sasuke!" ”

"Young Master Sasuke is also something you can see if you want?" Naruto gave Ino a blank look, "Kakashi-sensei said that a protection order has been issued from the higher-ups, and the ward on Sasuke's first floor has been protected by the shadows. ”

"Sakura-chan in the medical class can't even visit, so you'd better die of this heart."

"What a cruel order." Ino said wistfully, "When I think of Sasuke lying quietly on the hospital bed, the snow-white walls, and the dewy white roses in front of the window....."

"Soul is light, your saliva is about to flow to my face, you reaps the taste!"

"Who do you say is a! Look for death! “

"That's you! Soul Fade Idiot! Don't expose your sexual fetishes in front of outsiders, damn it! ”

Naruto pushed Ino away with a look of disgust, and Ino angrily grabbed Naruto's collar.

Hinata in the rear looked at Naruto and Ino who were fighting, with a lonely look on his face and the corners of his mouth slightly deflated.

"Hinata!"

"Ya, Shino." Hinata hurriedly turned around, "What's wrong?" ”

"Teacher Hong called us over, and it seems that we have a new task." Tooth smiled and shook his fist, "I hope it's an A-level mission, otherwise it's completely boring!" ”

"Huh? Grade A. Hinata was a little frightened.

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Shino, who was wearing black round sunglasses, said loudly, "Teacher Hong is measured and won't take on too dangerous tasks, after all, we are all perception ninjas, not monsters like the seventh class." ”

"Class 7...... What's wrong? Hinata asked curiously.

"The instructor of the seventh class, Shangnin, asked them to pursue a human pillar force team in Shayin Village." Shino said, "It was a mission that almost cost you a life. ”

"It's Kakashi." "I've heard my sister say that he was the strongest newcomer in the village at the time, and he was already on dangerous secret missions when he was about our age. ”

"That's great!"

Hearing this, Hinata couldn't help but glance at the crowd with some concern, Naruto and Ino had disappeared.

"I heard that Sasuke-kun is injured." Hinata whispered.

"Well, my life is dying, what forbidden technique should have been used." Shino said, "In that case, fighting against the tailed beast is probably worth your life." ”

"I heard that the tailed beast team in Sand Hidden Village ended up even more miserable, and it was because of this that it promoted Sand Hidden Village to compensate Konoha for it."
