If Tatsuma lived alone, he would be a little flustered at this time, because he didn't realize in advance that he needed a set of clothes to attend the funeral.

But living in the land of the Thousand Hands Clan, Uzumaki Mito, an old man who is accustomed to seeing countless things, will prepare everything for him, such as an all-black outfit suitable for a funeral.

Uzumaki Mito not only prepared for Tatsuma, but also the clothes of Rope Tree, Tsunade, and even Kushina and Mizuto, who did not live in the clan land, as well as her own.

In the past, Uzumaki Mito would not have attended the funeral, but this time it was different because too many of the people who were worshipped were once her family.

Tatsuma changed into black clothes and went out to meet with other people, in the past, there were some sparsely populated Thousand Hands in the Thousand Hands Land, but at this time, there were many people, those who were exempt from the war, all gathered in the Thousand Hands Land at this time.

In addition, there are many masked ninjas who escort Uzumaki Mito.

Uzumaki Mito's body is very healthy, not to mention just going to Konoha Cemetery, even if it is a critical moment, she really needs to go to the battlefield, I am afraid that this old man can also burst out with amazing strength.

But her identity is destined to require a large number of guards at any time except in her own home.

In this kind of life, Tatsuma doesn't know whether Uzumaki Mito likes it or not, and whether he is used to it, but Tatsuma knows that no matter what gratitude Uzumaki Mito has in her heart, she will not say it or show it.

Because this old man has no self in her heart, everything she thinks about is the village, and the people in the village, she will not ask for anything for herself, but will only do something according to the needs of the village.

Therefore, even if she was protected by so many people, or surveillance, she did not have the slightest impatience on her face, but maintained her dignity and calmness, and talked softly with the old people of the Thousand Hands race.

"Mito-sama, it's almost time."

At this moment, a dark part came to Uzumaki Mito and said respectfully.

Uzumaki Mito nodded, let go of the hand of an old lady who might be about the same age, but looked much older, and got up and said, "Everyone, don't keep the Heroic Spirits waiting, we should go and see them off." ”

Hearing this, the remaining Senju clan also nodded sadly, then got up and spontaneously gathered behind Uzumaki Mito.

Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade are parallel at the front, behind them are Rope Tree and Tatsuma, which is Tsunade's special arrangement, and further back, there are the only remaining Thousand Hands race, as well as Kushina and Mizumon.

The shadows were also divided into two teams, one team wore a hood of coat to cover their masked faces, and if you didn't look closer, you couldn't even see their masks, and they were in the middle of the group.

The other team is hidden, which is the most conventional lurking in the shadows.

Rejecting an umbrella from a dark part, Uzumaki Mito took the lead in a slightly chilly drizzle, and after leaving the land of the Thousand Hands Clan, he headed towards the cemetery.

When I came to the entrance of the cemetery, there were already a lot of white flowers here, and some people from the mountain clan were distributing flowers to those who came to attend the funeral.

The dark department did not stop the Yamanaka clan from coming to hand out the flowers, Uzumaki Mito chose one white chrysanthemum, and the rest of the people did not choose other flowers, but took the white chrysanthemum.

After entering the cemetery, Tatsuma found that there were already a lot of people here, some were ninja units, some were scattered civilian ninjas, and some civilians were just here to mourn.

They were all dressed in black and holding white flowers, waiting for the funeral to begin.

Tatsuma and the others arrived neither early nor late, found an open space and waited for a while, and the third generation of apes had already appeared, he was not wearing the iconic Hokage suit, but also black.

Amidst the mourning and chanting, Sarutobi took the lead and began to lay flowers, followed by the two elders Mito Menyan and Koharu, who were not present because he was not fit to be here.

After the high-level of the village offered flowers, it was the turn of the representatives of the various ninja tribes, and then it was the free flower-offering link, and Chenma also picked a mid-time point, stepped forward, and put down his own flowers in front of the memorial monument.

Sarutobi didn't mean to speak, and when the flowers were over, everyone was allowed to move freely, and many people scattered around the cemetery, telling something in front of the monuments of relatives and friends.

Tatsuma glanced at the crowd a few times, and found an "old classmate", he walked towards that side, and also took a incense stick next to the monument and lit it, and put it in the incense box on the tablet.

"Tianfeng, long time no see."

After doing this, Tatsuma looked at the Uchiha Tenkaze, who was kneeling in front of the burial monument on this side, and when Tenkaze heard this, he nodded and said, "This is my uncle and aunt."

If it weren't for me, maybe their children would have been able to wait until their parents returned. ”

His tone wasn't excited, but it wasn't calm either, more like a machine, and Tatsuma patted him on the shoulder and said, "Maybe they just don't want to kneel in front of your tombstone and say something similar to what you are doing now." ”

But Tatsuma's words didn't seem to comfort Tianfeng, he was silent for a while, and said: "How do I explain how to explain to Obito, one day, he will ask, why everyone else has parents, why he doesn't, like. The same as I used to be. ”

"And who told you in the end?"

"No one told me, they just looked at me with pity, and it wasn't until I heard them talk about it myself that I realized that my parents had died for the sake of the village."

"Would you be proud of your parents?"

"Of course."

"Then tell Obito that his parents are heroes, who gave everything for the people they cherish, and they are benefactors and role models for all who survive."

Tatsuma doesn't know if he has convinced Tianfeng because. The answer may not be able to solve the doubt, it can only be answered, and the solution is the process of practicing the answer.

"Tatsuma, are you strong now?"

Tianfeng suddenly changed the topic, and Tatsuma was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You opened your eyes?" ”

Tianfeng turned his head and looked at Tatsuma, the jet-black pupils turned blood-red in an instant, and in each eye, there were two black magatama that revolved around the pupils.

Seeing this scene, Tatsuma reached out and put it on Tianfeng's neck, pressed him down, and then quietly observed the surroundings, and saw that no one was looking at this side, so he let go of his hand.

The Uchiha does not lack the double hook jade writing wheel eye, and the double hook jade writing wheel eye does not have a too powerful increase, but if it appears in a ten-year-old Uchiha clan, then the meaning it represents is different.

Tianfeng is not a stupid person, and when he feels Tatsuma's movements, he feels that the output of pupil power has stopped, and his eyes have become black and white again.

"Does anyone else know?"

Tatsuma asked in a low voice, Tianfeng shook his head and said, "I am the only survivor of the team. Deserter. ”

Hearing this answer, Tatsuma breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then he was a little moved, even if it may be just the trust entrusted by the immature mind of a ten-year-old child, it is enough to explain something.

After being quiet for a while, Chen Ma said: "Tianfeng, you have a great talent, but you need a longer time to fulfill your talent, so. Don't die on the road. ”

Hearing Tatsuma's words, Tianfeng nodded and asked, "You have fought with Shangnin, I want to know. I don't have it, to. The power of the murderer's revenge. ”

Tatsuma pursed his lips and said, "I'll find a time, you should be patient." ”

"Hmm."

Tianfeng nodded, and Tatsuma glanced around and said, "Okay, go and make peace with your people, they are leaving, I will go to find you." ”

"Okay."

Tenkaze knelt down, then stood up, Tatsuma also stood up, the two hugged lightly, and Tenkaze walked towards the Uchiha team that was gathering.

Many ninja have their own cemeteries, including the Uchiha, where they return with their own family memorials after the ceremony, so they don't spend all their time here.

After separating from the Uchiha Tenkaze, Tatsuma also talked to some ninjas he knew, and hid the meeting with the Uchiha Tenkaze as one of his meetings with his classmates before Tatsuma returned to Uzumaki Mito.

Uzumaki Mito and the others didn't stay long, and they also talked a few words with some old ninjas, and then Uzumaki Mito left with the Thousand Hands Clan, and after leaving, the Thousand Hands did not return to the Thousand Hands Clan.

They all said goodbye and left halfway, the land of the Thousand Hands was their former home, but it was not their current home.

The time left for people to grieve in this world is always short, and the day after the funeral, the village resumes operation, and even after a long suspension of private commissions, it also resumes "business".

The squads that had just met their new teammates were also back to work, cultivating new tacit understandings in the run-in.

Tatsuma, who didn't receive an order to reassign the team, didn't do anything meaningless, trained, learned sealing techniques and medical techniques, and delved into the notes between the Thousand Hands, this is what he fulfills every day.

After a few more days, Tatsuma finally received his letter of appointment, but he still had an assessment before that.

"It's hard work, senior."

Taken to a hidden base by the Shadow Ninja, Tatsuma didn't ask for the name of the Shadow Ninja next to him, just called him by his senior.

The shadow ninja nodded, pointed out the location of an office for Tatsuma, and then vanished, Tatsuma walked towards the office, knocked on the door, and heard an answer enter it.

A female ninja who was also wearing a mask and dressed in darkness was already waiting inside, and when she saw Tatsuma coming in, she nodded, pointed to the position in front of her, and said, "Sit." ”

Tatsuma walked over and sat on this chair that was a little high, and the female ninja took out a few documents, put them in front of Tatsuma, and said, "Fill in the personal information and the letter of commitment, and I will send you to the assessment later." ”

These are all very normal "onboarding" processes, Tatsuma just looked at it, and wrote his name in the blank space of the information.

The letter of commitment is more interesting, which says some things that need to be observed to become a ninja in the shadows, including not revealing the news of your employment in the shadows to anyone, accepting the period of employment in the shadows, and the number of tasks completed in your personal file cannot be updated.

However, it is a dead letter, which has no actual binding force, and is only part of the process, or let the ninjas who participate in the dark assessment know the price they should bear after becoming a dark ninja in advance.

As for the follow-up, there may be more in-depth assessment and training, so after reading it, Chenma wrote down his name.

Seeing this, the female ninja got up and walked to the door, opened the door, and said, "Go out and turn right, go downstairs, until the third floor, where there will be an examiner from the dark department to assess your strength and ninja quality." ”

"Thank you."

Tatsuma nodded, walked out of the door, and walked in the direction indicated by the female ninja, there is only one staircase in this direction, Tatsuma will not go wrong, and walks downstairs, but as soon as he arrives on the second floor, Tatsuma's heart suddenly jumps.

"簌簌簌~"

"Puff~"
