Chapter 526 Passing away
Chapter 526 Passing away
The sky was gloomy, as if a huge gray curtain enveloped the entire village.
In front of the Konoha Memorial Monument, a group of people held white chrysanthemums in their hands and silently mourned the passing of an old man.
He had mixed successes and failures during his lifetime, and his life was full of controversy. He was once an outstanding Hokage and ninja and made many contributions to protecting the village.
But at the same time, he also made some mistakes, which caused dissatisfaction and controversy among many people.
Toshiro stood in front of the crowd, looked at the old man's portrait, and said slowly: "Sandaime, your achievements will forever be recorded in history. Although you have had unpleasant experiences, times have changed and everything has passed away with the wind. Please rest in peace~ "
In the original book, the old man died in Konoha for 60 years and was killed by his disciple, Orochimaru himself. However, with Toshiro's intervention, the old man has lived until now and can be regarded as having died.
The Sandaime represents the spirit and values of an era.
He has experienced historical events such as war, peace, and changes in the ninja world. His life has witnessed the changes of the times.
His experience, wisdom, and stories are important assets for understanding the past, present, and future of ninjas.
With his passing, the culture, traditions and lifestyle of his time will gradually disappear.
"Finally done!"
On the desk, the high pile of documents obscured Toshiro's face, and only his sigh could be heard.
"Looks like I need to retire early!"
He rubbed his sore wrist. Ever since Tsunade became pregnant, he, a black-hearted boss, had not exploited her as before.
As a last resort, I started to handle official business myself.
"Shikaku, how are you preparing for the Ninja Alliance?"
After attending the third generation's funeral, Toshiro began to get busy forming the ninja coalition again.
Especially after Kisame passed on the information about the White Zetsu army, they began to prepare for this war intensively.
"It's going on in an orderly manner, but..."
It can be said that the death of the Sandaime made the group of them breathe a sigh of relief. Due to the original alliance with the Sarutobi clan, the Pig, Deer, and Butterfly families have not been living a very good life these years.
For the benefit of the family, even his lazy temperament had to change, trying to gain more attention under the Hokage.
"But what?"
"It's the daimyo of each country. We still have some difficulty in convincing the daimyo of each country to take refuge."
Hearing this, Toshiro couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Obito did not directly announce the official start of the Fourth Ninja War during the Five Kage Talks like in the original work, which also brought them some considerable trouble.
"They have guardian nin anyway, so it doesn't matter if you don't want to."
He really didn't take the daimyo thing seriously.
Whose ancestors haven’t been rich?
Their Uchiha ancestor, Indra, was the eldest son and grandson of the daimyo of the ancestral country.
As for these people, if they are unlucky, they have many descendants waiting to take over, and there is no shortage of people at all.
"Is there any problem with funding?"
Since there is a war, it is inevitable to spend money. Especially for such a large-scale war, money will be spent like water.
"There are no problems with Fire, Earth, and Thunder, but there are some troubles with Wind and Water~"
"However, the Feng Ying and Mizukage have already responded, so there are no questions."
"So much the better!"
They are very easy to handle here in the Fire Country. When he became Hokage and arrived in the Fire Capital, he spent a lot of "pupil power".
<divclass="contentadv">As for the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Water, one was already in poverty, and the other was beaten by Obito for several years and has not recovered yet.
"How's the situation with Naruto and Kushina?"
Obito doesn't seem to have any intention of capturing Kyuubi, but he still needs to be on guard to avoid something else happening along the way.
"I have been staying with the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki all the time, and the confidentiality work is very strict."
To say that Lu Jiu is still capable, especially now that he is eager to express himself, he has used all his strength.
All the big and small things that Toshiro told him were handled very appropriately.
As for why there is so much backlog of official documents with Lu Jiu's help.
Well... procrastinators know this.
"Kilabi?"
This kid, as expected, ran away. When he was found by the Fourth Raikage, he was besieged by Hidan and Kakuzu.
If Raikage hadn't arrived in time, this guy would probably have suffered a big loss.
And the Raikage, who had just participated in the Five Kage Conference and had just received information on some members of the Akatsuki organization, killed the two immortal duo directly.
Then he cleaned up Bi carefully and took Bi back to the village. Considering that the Akatsuki organization might be targeting the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails, after discussion, they were imprisoned in Turtle Island together.
On the other side, Deidara, who was tied up and had his chakra sealed, met his teacher whom he had not seen for many years.
The whole person became a little twisted.
"Deidara, you idiot, forget it you have been fooling around outside all these years, you also joined the Akatsuki organization, and now you are captured."
"Look at how embarrassed you are now. We, the Iwa Ninjas, have all lost face because of you!"
Looking at this disciple whom he had high hopes for, Onoki cursed a few times, then changed the subject and spoke politely to Jiraiya.
"I haven't thanked Jiraiya for showing mercy. I will bring this ineffective guy back to Iwa Ninja for interrogation."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
There was a piece of tape on his mouth, and even though Deidara's mobility was restricted, he was still struggling violently, seemingly wanting to say something.
From the aggrieved look on his face, it was easy to tell that this guy was very dissatisfied with being captured.
Especially when he looked at Kurotsuchi next to him, the corners of his eyes began to twitch uncontrollably. Obviously, he will be caught this time, and it has something to do with Kurotsuchi.
"It seems that Brother Didara is hungry. I have prepared a lot of delicious ingredients for you. Do you want to try them?"
There was a narrow smile in his black eyes, and Kurotsuchi smiled sweetly at Deidara. He took out a lot of 'food' from behind, including soil, rocks, granite, etc.
"Which one do you think tastes better, this...this...or this?"
"..."
Looking at the food in Kurotsuchi's hands and the devilish smile on Kurotsuchi's face, Deidara couldn't help but roll his eyes.
This little girl likes to tease people more and more. What she eats is clay, not these messy garbage.
Moreover, the clay doesn’t care if it’s full~
"This... is fine, but... the kind of thing that happened a few years ago won't happen, right?"
Scratching his head, Jiraiya did not refuse Tuying's request.
However, if Deidara is just handed over to the Iwa ninja, what if he disappears inexplicably like last time and becomes a member of the Akatsuki organization again?
