A house like this without doors or windows means a mourning room in the culture here, and Itachi's body was placed in a coffin in the middle of the house.
Sasuke was sitting on the threshold with his back to Itachi's coffin, as if he was still stubbornly unwilling to look at Itachi. However, it is difficult to define whether this is hatred or not. Because if it was really hatred, it should have disappeared by now, and what was replaced was just the last memory of a relative who didn't want to get close to him anymore, but also didn't want to leave easily.
Even though Sasuke didn't want to admit it, and the people around him didn't want to remind him, they all knew that this was actually a wake.
After the death of a loved one, the rest of the family members will keep vigil to comfort them, including some relatives and friends who will also participate. However, what Itachi did left Sasuke with his back to him in front of his coffin.
"That Weasel is finally dead."
Standing on the overlooking hillside from a distance, Yamanaka Haiichi said this in a complicated tone, and beside him were two old friends, Shikaku Nara and Choza Akimichi.
"Yeah... I recall that at that time, he and Uchiha Shisui were known as the two most talented ninjas in the entire Konoha Village. Who would have thought that they would end up where they are now."
Nara Shikaku rubbed his temples. He didn't want to think too much about these things, but there was a reason why Yamanaka Haiichi talked about this, and he had to participate.
"There is no need to talk about those who have died, but... Uchiha Sasuke, this child, has a good character. From his willingness to guard Itachi's grave, it can be seen that this child is a person who values feelings. Although he killed Itachi with his own hands, but I haven’t forgotten the brotherhood we had when we were kids.”
Akimichi Tingza also rarely expressed his opinion. Obviously, although others did not say anything about what Sasuke did, they were still satisfied in their hearts.
In order to avenge his parents and relatives, he killed Itachi Uchiha with his own hands. However, out of gratitude for his brotherly relationship with Itachi, he turned his back to guard his body. This approach of balancing justice and friendship made many older ninjas look at him invisibly.
"That child Ino has been very independent and smart since she was a child, so it is unnecessary to worry about her. Haiichi, you can rest assured, since she has taken a liking to Uchiha Sasuke, you don't need to say anything more."
Nara Shikaku is also a little regretful. Originally, he really hoped that Ino could get together with Shikamaru or Choji, so that the bond of friendship between the three Ino, Shika and Butterfly families could be more stable, but Ino only likes Uchiha Sasuke. , there is nothing we can do.
However, marrying into the current Uchiha clan is indeed a good thing. The reason is also very simple. There is only one person in the Uchiha clan now, Sasuke. He is both the head of the family and the only one who talks about things. This means that as long as he can have a harmonious relationship with his husband, the entire Uchiha clan can be satisfied. Even if there is Haruno Sakura competing with Ino, to put it bluntly, Haruno Sakura is just a commoner. How can she be able to make constructive suggestions as good as Ino, who has been smart since she was a child?
If Ino can really marry Uchiha Sasuke, it can be said that at least 70% of the Uchiha clan's affairs will require Ino to assist Sasuke. And the current Uchiha clan is an extremely wealthy landowning family, so the benefits it can provide after marriage are naturally unparalleled.
If I had to worry about it, it would be the person who was so powerful that Ino and Sakura couldn't even fight back, Hinata Hinata, the eldest lady of the Hyuga clan.
Although she couldn't tell that she and Uchiha Sasuke had any feelings other than friendship, to be honest, there was no need for any extra emotions in a family marriage. If she was really interested, Yamanaka Haiichi would have to reconsider Ino's marriage. Problem. After all, in front of Hinata, even if Ino's thoughts were multiplied by ten, she would not be Hinata's opponent. Naturally, it would be difficult to obtain the desired benefits for the Yamanaka clan.
While the three family heads were talking, they suddenly saw a flash of fire in the direction of the Uchiha mansion, followed by a violent explosion!
Apparently, some unfriendly visitors have come to visit!
(PS1: Ah~~I confess, last night during Dark Souls 3, I was beaten so hard that I couldn’t even touch the door~~I ended up swallowing another section~~)
(PS2: Speaking of which, should we get engaged to Sasuke first~ After all, he has to work hard to reproduce in order to revive the Uchiha clan~)
Interlude
Hinata stood at the door of the Uchiha mansion with a cold face. Because the injury on her left shoulder has not completely healed, her left arm is now hung with a splint on her chest. In order to maintain balance, she has a cane on her right hand. Look. It looks quite similar to Danzo's image.
Trying to slow down her tone, she said calmly: "What's going on? Can anyone tell me."
The scene was quite chaotic. In addition to the still smoking ruins, there were nine corpses placed under shrouds. A team of ANBU ninjas responsible for investigating the scene could almost read the capital letters on their masks. Two 'embarrassments'.
It's not difficult to understand what happened. Last night, someone raided the room where Itachi's coffin was stored next to the Uchiha mansion, and there was a natural conflict with Sasuke who was keeping watch. The result was that Uchiha Itachi's resting room was blown up by the detonating talisman, and The group of people who attacked were all killed on the spot by the angry Uchiha Sasuke. During this period, Sasuke even used his special move Susanoo, so the damage caused was needless to say.
"I'm really sorry. We didn't notice any intrusion last night..."
The leader of the ANBU said this with difficulty. There was nothing that could be done about it. Nine people were three ninja teams. Such a group of enemies were running around in Konoha Village without the ANBU noticing it. The ANBU could blame them even if they wanted to. Don't fall off. In the ninja system, dereliction of duty is also a very serious crime. Although Konoha does not advocate execution, it is still very common for ninjas who make mistakes to be stripped of their identities and thrown into quarry prisons to serve as laborers.
There is no need to say much about Hinata's identity. She is absolutely capable of making all the Konoha ANBU who kept vigil last night go to the quarry prison for labor reform.
"Well, Hinata-sama, please calm down for a moment. The origins of these people seem a bit unusual."
On the side, Nara Shikaku spoke up to persuade them. The Ino Shikaku trio happened to be bystanders last night, so they also had the right to speak.
"Oh, tell me what you think."
Hinata raised her chin coldly. This action of Hinata made everyone around her feel quite stressed, while Nara Shikaku nodded slightly: "First of all, the ANBU configuration in our village should be perfect now. Because Thanks to Hinata-sama's actions, our personnel are now well-trained and dedicated to their duties, and they are also assisted by ninja dogs with extremely developed sense of smell. If it is really an enemy who knows nothing about the current village, it is impossible to bypass these defensive measures. , so...maybe it’s the same enemy as the Sound Ninja last time.”
Here you can see Nara Shikaku's cunning. He did not directly express his opinion, but first calmly praised Hinata. After all, the ninjas in Konoha Village can now equip better chakra vests. , and also equipped with a full set of ninja dog assistance, all of which are indeed due to the achievements of this young elder. If Hinata is still dissatisfied, then she is dissatisfied with herself.
Then there is the so-called 'enemy the same as the Sound Ninja'. The reason why the Sound Ninja was able to easily invade Konoha Village last time was not because of their overall strength, but because their leader was Orochimaru. He knew the defense of Konoha Village very well, so he let the sound ninjas march straight in.
In other words, what Shikaku actually meant was to say directly: This is the killer sent by the mole in Konoha Village.
As for who the inner ghost is, not to mention, who would still be interested in the dead Uchiha Itachi?
"...Really? I think I know what you mean. Good...very good."
Hinata's two thin eyebrows were pressed down, and a cold anger suddenly spread to the surroundings. She raised the cane in her right hand and pointed at the tattered scene around her: "Repair this place! If you think you are still ninjas, Instead of masons, you'd better show your vigilance as ninjas later!"
"Hi!"
The ANBU who were called here quickly bowed in response. Obviously, the elder did not intend to pursue them further, and ordered them to help repair the Uchiha mansion. This was just a small punishment that was nothing at all.
Sasuke sat expressionlessly at the bottom of the corridor, while Ino, who was sitting next to him, was bandaging the scar on his left arm with red eyes. The battle last night was quite dangerous. Even Sasuke now, facing the three When he was a small team of assassins, he still felt powerless. If he hadn't released Susanoo out of anger, I'm afraid Itachi's coffin would have been snatched away.
But what really made him feel painful was the realization that even though itachi was dead, he still couldn't find peace. As a traitor to the Uchiha clan, Itachi was destined not to enter the Uchiha clan's ancestral hall, and Sasuke would not allow it. However, Sasuke just couldn't stand the abuse and slander of Itachi from other unrelated people.
And this made Sasuke feel conflicted.
"It doesn't matter how serious your injury is. With Ino and Sakura helping you treat it, you'll be fine soon."
Hinata, who walked into the courtyard with a cane, spoke calmly, while Sakura, who came out of the inner room with a medicine, could not help but grit her teeth slightly when she heard this: "But, who is it..."
"He is a person who is full of greed for the Mangekyou Sharingan. As for who he is... Even if I tell you, there is no benefit. So, the best solution now is to give up guarding Itachi's body and take the His eyeballs were prepared for Sasuke to fuse, and the body was cremated and then buried on the spot."
Hinata's words were rarely hesitant, which made Sasuke, who was sitting down the corridor, raise his head silently, but still did not answer.
But at this time, another cold voice came out: "Just do it like this, it can be done today."
Uchiha Izumi's figure walked out from a corner. Obviously, she had equally complex feelings towards Itachi. She originally thought that she would not be able to find peace after seeing Itachi's death, but now, after actually seeing this scene, On the contrary, she also felt pain.
"..."
Sasuke opened his mouth wordlessly, as if he wanted to say something about this decision, but in the end he couldn't speak. Instead, he nodded slightly, then lowered his head again and said nothing. It can be seen that he is very tired.
"Very good, then. Ino, go and invite some monks who will conduct funerals. Sakura, decorate the place and bury Itachi within today."
Hinata was obviously satisfied with Izumi and Sasuke's answers, so the next moment she naturally gave orders to Ino and Sakura. Then the two of them nodded and stood up to prepare for other things.
Hinata, on the other hand, left the Uchiha Mansion directly. For her, she had other things to do now.
Although the current focus of the Gennin is on Akihabara, there is also a branch in Konoha Village, and the leader of the branch is none other than Danzo's 'daughter' Shimura Lin.
When Hina ran straight to the door of the Gen-nin branch, the two Gen-nin on guard quickly blocked her way, and their tone was extremely polite: "This is the Gen-nin's department area. What can I do for you?"
Hinata raised her head and glanced at the Gen-nin who stopped her, nodded, and then swung her staff in the face of the Gen-nin with a loud roar. The latter, who was caught off guard, screamed in pain and staggered back with her force. , this unexpected phenomenon shocked the remaining Gennin, but he obviously did not have the courage to draw his sword against the elders of the village. Instead, he quickly took a step back and said loudly: "Excuse me, why is this?"
"I want him to scream louder! Otherwise, the people in charge won't know I'm here, right?"
Looking coldly at the Gen nin who asked the question, Hinata's tone was equally cold: "Or do you plan to scream like this a few times?"
