In the evening.

In the Senju compound.

All the people who attended Mito's funeral gathered here for a meal.

(Trivia: In the custom of daily life, the gift money is called "Incense" in Japanese. The amount varies from 5,000 to 300,000 yen depending on the relationship between the deceased and the deceased. Converted into RMB, it is about 200 to 1,500. In the amount, the numbers four or nine should be avoided. After the funeral, the family members have to give back gifts as a thank you and condolence for attending. The amount of the thank-you gift is generally half or one-third of the incense money given by the other party!)

Tsunade and the others prepared the return gifts in the afternoon.

After they finished their meal, Mirai and Minato carried bags, packed the prepared sheets, towels, bath towels, tea, etc. in exquisite gift boxes, and returned them one by one to the people who came to attend.

By the time they finished giving back, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

The banquet started at 5:30 and ended at 8:00, which shows how many people came to the banquet.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the honorable seat and looked at this scene, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Well, it seems that his idea of ​​covering up the news of Lord Mito's death, even if it was just to delay it for a year or two, has completely failed.

Among these guests, there must be spies from other villages, and they will definitely report what they saw and heard today back to the village.

Danzo was right next to him, and when he heard the bitter smile of this old man, he knew what the other party was thinking.

So he suggested calmly: "Why are you in such a hurry? Even if they spread the news back, what's the use? Do we have to be afraid of them just because we lost the protection of Mito-sama?

Over the years, when World War I and World War II broke out, they never saw us ask Mito-sama out.

It was all because we defeated them and made them subdue us.

Not to mention now, our strength is no longer what it used to be. There are thousands of people in the village who can fight.

Why should we be afraid of them committing crimes again!"

And he was eager for these people to come quickly, so that he would have a reason to send troops. When the time comes, he can call all the people in the village and fight again. And this time, there will be an extra person, Hyuga Reika.

The logistics treatment of the three slug immortals, the rampant killing of the three big snakes, the collapse of the two big toads.

In addition to the secret attacks of his roots, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his three disciples, Maruboshi Kosuke and the secret ninjas of the major families.

He still didn't believe that with this configuration, a village couldn't be destroyed.

If it really doesn't work, then call Hatake Sakumo and Kato Dan.

Call the Zixiao in the Anbu too.

If they go all out, even the Land of Earth, which is currently the second strongest military force, will be beaten by them and cry for their father.

Unfortunately, his idea is only his idea after all. With Sarutobi's indecisive character, he will never agree.

'Alas, if the teacher is still here, he will definitely agree with my idea! '

Even if Madara is here, it's fine, because they have the same idea.

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen restrained the bitter smile on his face and quite agreed with Danzo's idea.

"You are right, our Konoha has grown up."

Akimichi Touka smiled and said, "Third generation, after this war, you can apply to the daimyo for regularization!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's political ability has been fully demonstrated in these years.

Under his governance, many institutions in the village were improved, which made the village's strength reach a small peak.

In addition to this war, he alone suppressed the combat power of many high-level members of the Sand Ninja.

With intelligence and combat power, he is qualified for the position of Hokage.

On the other side, Utatane Koharu looked a little solemn. She glanced in the direction of Uchiha, and many people there had left.

Although they were not on good terms with the Senju clan and had nothing to do with Uzumaki Mito, this was a major event in the village, and no one dared not to notify them.

Since they knew about this, they had no reason not to attend, so Uchiha Dahai, with three elders and small high-level members of the police department, attended the funeral.

"I'm afraid that Uchiha will obstruct Sarutobi like last time, so that he won't get the chance to become a regular employee!"

Mito Kado Yan agreed very much: "I am also worried about this. Moreover, among the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Dazhuang's family actually contacted Mito-sama. I guess they must have other ideas. We have to be on guard!"

There were only five people at this table. Almost everyone around them had eaten their fill and left with their gifts, so they were not afraid of being overheard.

Of course, they didn't talk loudly.

Danzo looked at them, and a flash of disdain flashed across his eyes.

To be honest,Sometimes he really couldn't understand what Sarutobi was thinking, letting these two people without big ambitions become consultants, even if he wanted them to check the power of the Hokage.

He was enough by himself.

These two people were not as capable as Qufeng.

If Qufeng hadn't been in charge of the top management and coordinated the last time, Konoha might have been broken by the surprise attack force of the Sand Ninja.

"The Uchiha are indeed hateful, but the Uchiha Dazhuang family is the key to our stabilization of the Uchiha. With their existence, the Uchiha people can see the illusory hope.

In this way, there will be less resistance to what we want to do!" He said lightly, then got up and walked away with a cane.

Since returning from the battlefield, he has looked down on these two guys who eat for free.

To be honest, if it weren't for Sarutobi's protection, with their abilities, they would have been killed by the Uchiha long ago.

"Okay, let's stop here. Uchiha is the village's Uchiha, so we shouldn't be too exclusive with them!" Sarutobi said, and he stood up and left.

"Then I'll leave too. My wife is waiting for me at the door." Akimichi Norifuge smiled and said to the two consultants, then went to greet Tsunade, the host, and turned away.

Only Mitomono En and Utatane Koharu were left at the original table.

Both of them looked a little ugly.

Although their IQs were not as good as those of Danzo, Sarutobi, and Norifuge, they also knew how to read people's expressions.

"Have you noticed that Sarutobi and the others' attitude towards Uchiha seems to have changed!" Utatane Koharu asked in a low voice, clenching her fists.

Mitomon nodded, and he looked in the direction of Tsunade, at Uchiha Mirai who was holding a big bag, "Well, this should be the change brought by Uchiha Mirai!"

Before Uchiha Mirai became his apprentice, Danzo would always add an evil prefix to Uchiha.

Although Sarutobi would not say such words, his tone was usually not very good whenever he talked about Uchiha, and he would even be a little alienated.

But this time, they saw that these two old guys did not treat Uchiha as usual.

"Then what should we do? Should we continue to target Uchiha?" he asked.

Utatane Koharu narrowed her eyes slightly, and she looked at Uchiha Mirai and Uchiha Hong. The siblings had a very good relationship with Tsunade and Orochimaru.

"The rights you and I have are all given by Sarutobi, and it is his protection that allows you and me to sit firmly in our current positions.

Since he and Danzo don't want to target Uchiha anymore, then we shouldn't be the first to do it."

As she spoke, she looked at Mitomon En, and seeing that he didn't look very happy, she continued, "Unless you don't want to sit firmly in your current position.

You should be aware of our strength and means. If we really want to play tricks, we are completely inferior to those old foxes.

The more we do, the more mistakes we make, and it is easy for others to catch us!

Moderation is the key to our stable position of power!"

As she spoke, she also stood up, took her return gift, and walked out.

Only Mitomon En was left sitting there with a gloomy face.

He thought for a long time, and had to admit that what Utatane Koharu said made sense.

Moderation is the key to their stable position as consultants.

"Well, all right!"

"If you don't care, then I won't care either!"

He stood up and left with the gift.
