Chapter 250 250.Those things the third generation did

Early the next morning, it rained heavily in Konoha.

The Heroes Cemetery was still crowded with ninjas. Countless ninjas held black umbrellas and braved the heavy rain to attend the funeral of the Third Hokage, remaining silent amidst the joy and sorrow.

The Third Hokage was not the first generation who founded the Ninja Village, nor was he the second generation who laid the foundation for the Ninja Village.

But he is the Hokage who has ruled Konoha for the longest time. To put it bluntly, in a profession where the average lifespan of a ninja is only thirty or forty years old, the third generation of Hokage has been in power throughout the life and death of many ninjas.

During his long reign, the Third Hokage led Konoha to its peak, but also slowly fell into decline.

Therefore, regarding the death of the Third Hokage, many ninjas' first thought was disbelief, and then they spontaneously came to the Heroes Cemetery to attend the funeral of the Hokage who sacrificed his life for the village.

Among the ninjas attending the funeral, in addition to the top brass of the Fire Country and the Konoha Ninja Village, there were also ninjas from other Ninja Villages.

Among them were even the ninjas of Sunagakure. They looked at the place where the Third Hokage was buried, their eyes were extremely complicated, and they didn't know what to say.

After surrendering to Konoha, they gradually understood that the mastermind behind the plan to collapse Konoha was Orochimaru.

Although their Kazekage was also dissatisfied with Konoha, he died at Orochimaru's finger before setting off to take the Chunin Exam, and even his body was used, which made them feel extremely humiliated.

But compared to these humiliations, what they should consider more is reality.

How to select a new Kazekage after his death, and how to ensure that Sunagakure will not be expelled from the five great ninja villages. These are far more worthy of consideration than humiliation.

In addition to Sunagakure, the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan are also worried about the future.

They wanted to gain more benefits because of declining profits, so behind the Third Hokage's back, they secretly united with Orochimaru and the Fire Nation daimyo to provide help for this Konoha collapse plan.

But what he didn't expect was that Uzushio Village actually interfered in the Chunin Examination.

Aren’t the ninjas in Uzushio Village all traitorous ninjas? That Uchiha Shisui should also hate Konoha, why would he interfere in the internal fighting of Konoha.

These were not the things that allowed them to break through their defenses. What was most difficult for them to accept was that the Third Hokage, the leader of the clan, also betrayed the Sarutobi clan and chose Konoha, making them complete clowns.

However, it was precisely because the Third Hokage betrayed the family that the Sarutobi clan was not completely doomed.

Seeing that the situation in the village was still unstable and for the sake of the Third Hokage, the Fifth Generation did not imprison them in the ANBU prison for the time being, but only sent a large number of ANBU to monitor them.

In this way, although the future life of the Sarutobi clan will be difficult, it will still be much better than that of ordinary people.

Soon, the funeral came to the speech phase, where Konoha senior officials and the heads of the major ninja clans came forward to remember the deceased Third Hokage and tell every detail of their interactions with the Third Hokage during his lifetime.

After several jounin came on stage to pay their respects, the ninjas in the audience took out tissues and wiped the tears from their eyes.

When it was Kakashi's turn, Kakashi took out the scratch paper and said slowly in front of hundreds of Konoha ninjas: "I am extremely painful about the death of the Third Generation. After much hesitation, I decided to put these years into practice." I would like to share my experience with three generations of adults..."

"The first thing is about the incident of the demon fox in the village. You should remember that six or seven years ago, there was a child called the demon fox active in the village. His true identity was the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. It is not an exaggeration to say he was a demon fox."

"But in addition to the identity of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, that demon fox is actually the son of the Yondaime..."

Hearing this, the Konoha ninjas in the audience suddenly became excited. This was obviously the third generation's funeral, but why did the atmosphere suddenly become uncomfortable? Kakashi was not attending the funeral, but using the funeral to slander the third generation of Hokage.

However, many ninjas noticed the title of Demon Fox and activated their past memories.

Because of Kyuubi, many villagers lost their families and property, so they spread their grievances on the orphan Naruto, but they all thought that this was an orphan who could be seen everywhere, but they didn't expect that he was the son of the Fourth Generation.

They actually took their grievances out on Naruto, and now that I think about it, they really shouldn't have.

But the biggest fault was the Sandaime. Why did the Sandaime conceal Naruto's true identity? Why didn't he reveal the identity of the hero's son to the public? What on earth was the Sandaime thinking at that time.

The ninjas of the Sarutobi clan noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and quickly looked in the direction of Jiraiya.

Kakashi is attacking the Third Hokage. Once the Third Hokage's image is damaged, the ninjas who initiated civil strife will probably be punished more severely.

Jiraiya also frowned, and when he was about to stop Kakashi, Naruto's voice rang in his ears:

"Uncle Jiraiya, for the safety of Konoha Ninja Village, you'd better not stop Kakashi-senpai from speaking, otherwise Uzushio Village will not consider cooperating with Konoha."

Jiraiya looked at the shadow clone next to him and whispered: "The third generation teacher is already dead, there is no need to pour dirty water on him, let's leave him some reputation after death."

After Naruto made a cold sound, he said: "What do you mean by throwing dirty water? Kakashi is just telling some facts. Have you become as dim as the Sandaime and want to tarnish the will of fire?"

After mentioning the Will of Fire, Jiraiya was stunned, but in the end he did not stop Kakashi from speaking.

Seeing the change in the atmosphere of the funeral, Kakashi took a deep breath and continued:

"The second thing is the defection of Orochimaru. At that time, in addition to Orochimaru, Danzo was also involved in human experiments on villagers."

"Not only did the Sandaime not deal with Danzo back then, he also showed mercy to Orochimaru and deliberately let Orochimaru go."

"Over the years, Orochimaru is still conducting human experiments outside, and not long ago he launched the Konoha Collapse Plan and attacked the village."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the ninjas present changed, and their expressions became extremely solemn.

The Third Hokage concealed the identity of the heroic son of Naruto and inadvertently insulted the heroic son, which made them feel extremely guilty, but it was just guilt.

Orochimaru is different. Orochimaru's crime is to conduct human experiments on the ninjas and villagers in the village.

Many of the family members of those victims are still living in the Konoha Ninja Village. The Third Hokage's deliberate act of letting Orochimaru go made them angry, and they also had doubts about the bright and stalwart Third Hokage.

In the pursuit of Orochimaru over the years, many ninjas were injured and died.

All this is recorded on Orochimaru's head, and the third generation Hokage who deliberately let Orochimaru go is also involved.

However, they did not immediately start to denounce the Third Hokage. After all, this was the funeral of the Third Hokage. If there was not enough evidence, this was just Kakashi's one-sided statement.

Even though Kakashi had served as the captain of the ANBU and was a confidant of the Third Hokage, he still couldn't completely believe it.
