Chapter 162 Funeral
·
Zhong Er Shi Bing Wo Bu Zhi
Ling and his party took a short rest at the gathering point, and then embarked on the journey with other injured tribesmen who needed to return to recuperate.
When this sad and exhausted team arrived at the tribe's territory, the remaining Uchihas were preparing the cemetery for the tribesmen who were about to be buried. After seeing this group of returning tribesmen, they silently added a few more pits on one side. Bit.
Less than two days after arriving in the clan, Uchiha Kenji, who was planning to find a clan member to take him on a mission, also saw this team.
Since Ling was the only one in the clan who could walk around blindfolded, he could easily recognize that this was the team of his peers, and he happily reached up from behind and hooked one person's shoulders——
"Who is that girl? How could she let Ling carry her back?" Uchiha Kenji's face was full of gossip, "What happened after I left? Is the iron tree going to bloom?"
Uchiha Masaki's dark and empty eyes turned to him blankly, his voice was dry and hoarse, "...that's a corpse."
The smile on Uchiha Kenji's face suddenly froze, but Uchiha Masaki seemed not to notice his stiffness, looked directly into his eyes, and said word by word, "Chiho is dead."
Kenji Uchiha retracted his arm stiffly and his voice became dry, "This, this is it..."
"Masaki, you and Ling go and send Chiho home." Uchiha Akihiko noticed the impasse here and walked over to separate the two of them. "I will go and explain the situation to the clan."
Uchiha Masaki nodded stiffly, "Okay."
Uchiha Kenji looked at Uchiha Masaki's back that seemed to be about to fall at any time, swallowed his saliva, raised his hand and pointed at his eyes, "That guy..."
"Well, Masaki's eyes are open." Uchiha Akihiko's eyes were full of worry, but when he looked at Uchiha Kenji, he felt helpless, "Your face blindness is so severe that you can't even distinguish between corpses and living people. Is it clear?"
Uchiha Kenji also seemed a little guilty, "I didn't see any injuries or body spots, so I thought it was a coma due to excessive blood loss... Should I stay at that time?"
"...We encountered the main force of the Senju raid at that time. You are not good at direct confrontation, so you probably won't be able to help."
Uchiha Kenji scratched his hair irritably, "It's so annoying. I just made a random choice and ended up grabbing that guy Masaki... It's fatal."
"Well, you deserve a beating."
"...You're not Hong, are you?"
Uchiha Akihiko looked away and crossed his hands, "Heh."
"I'm telling you, Uchiha Hiro, please don't be too...no, Hiro has no scars on his face." Uchiha Kenji stared at Uchiha Akihiko closely, "You can still talk to me like this even if your face is scarred... Uchiha Akihiko!”
"It's okay. Although I'm blind, I'm not stupid."
Uchiha Kenji glanced at the team with a heavy atmosphere and curled his lips, "If the atmosphere is not suitable now... when do you plan to set off again?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Akihiko glanced at the depressed team and spoke after a brief silence, "At least we have waited for the funeral."
……
The funerals of the Uchiha are very simple. The identity of the deceased is checked, and then the tribesmen who know medical ninjutsu handle each corpse to prevent the blood inheritance limit from being exposed, and then the tribesmen who know the sealing technique seal the corpses in the coffin in turn.
When these steps are completed, the person with the highest status in the clan will add the first handful of earth to each person, and then relatives and friends will come forward to say goodbye. Finally, the clan members who are proficient in earth escape will move these coffins deeper underground to rest.
After all the coffins were properly buried, the clansmen who came to attend the funeral finally no longer looked so solemn. They found familiar clan members one after another to comfort the deceased, or discuss how to take revenge on Thousand Hands.
But more importantly, after the clan elders announced that the clan had added a pair of kaleidoscopes, they came to congratulate Uchiha Masaki one after another, congratulating him on getting the kaleidoscope sharingan, and saying that Chiho would also feel that she would die for opening his eyes. valuable.
Listening to these words of congratulations and envy, Uchiha Masaki felt his heart getting colder and colder.
Especially in the end, when Chiho Uchiha’s parents found him, they were sad but could not hide their joy and said to him - [Thank you for opening Chiho’s eyes. This made her death no longer look so pale and had more value, Chiho. Sui will be happy too. 】
Uchiha Masaki didn't even know how he made the sound, [As parents, shouldn't you blame us for not protecting her? 】
[The day she gave up her family's in-law arrangement and decided to become a ninja was doomed.] Chiho's father shook his head, [It was her who could exchange her own death for a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan for the clan. The most outstanding achievement in his short ninja career. 】
Finally, the last warmth in Uchiha Masaki's heart was taken away by the cool breeze of early autumn. He felt as if someone was strangling his throat, and even breathing, an innate movement, became difficult. .
[Why can you say such things?Isn't Chiho your daughter? 】
[Compared to me who is an outsider after all, shouldn’t you suffer more? 】
[Obviously she hates fighting so much, but you say it was her decision? 】
[She wanted to go home so much, but you think her death was worthwhile? 】
[Why can you easily define the death of others? 】
Uchiha Masaki covered his eyes in pain, one after another sharp questions appeared in his mind, and the penetrating scarlet once again saturated the young man's dark eyes in a place where no one could see.
At this moment, Uchiha Masaki felt someone tugging on his sleeve, "Don't be too sad, Chiho-san will be happy for you."
Finally, he could no longer hold back the violence in his heart. He swung the person away with his hand and glared at the person. His voice was sharper than ever before, "That's enough! Shut up! What do you know!"
The person who pulled his sleeve seemed to have never thought that he would be treated like this. He fell to the ground unprepared, but when he met Uchiha Masaki's scarlet eyes, he suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave, "...Brother ?”
Uchiha Masaki suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Uchiha Atsuki who was pushed to the ground, waved angrily in the air and then covered his eyes again, but his voice obviously dropped a tone, "I'm sorry, Wenshu, let brother Just be alone for a while...can you go home by yourself?"
When this sad and exhausted team arrived at the tribe's territory, the remaining Uchihas were preparing the cemetery for the tribesmen who were about to be buried. After seeing this group of returning tribesmen, they silently added a few more pits on one side. Bit.
