Chapter 26 Sacrifice (page 12)

As long as you don't line up to lay flowers at the commemorative monument at the front, sweeping the tomb is not a time-consuming task, and you can come here at ordinary times. Not everyone cares so much about the "first incense".

After receiving the news from the shadow clone, Sasuke did not intend to stay longer for a stranger.

"Go back Naruto, Shikamaru and the others are done."

"Oh~" Naruto was already a little bored.

When everyone meets up for the final fireworks show, everyone needs to find an open high ground to watch in advance. Shadow Rock is naturally the first choice, but civilians are slower and usually only ninjas who have free time will go to this special seat.

The fireworks show is small in scale, not to mention comparable to the Japanese fireworks show in the previous life. The launch height is just a little above the shadow rock. I always feel that it would be much more spectacular if I develop the fire escape that can change colors. It is a pity that the place where there are many people in the village does not allow this release. A very dangerous AOE ninjutsu.

The emotionless brilliance in the darkness has nothing to do with ninjutsu, it is just an ordinary little brilliance, fleeting. It's like a hometown where after a ban on fireworks was suddenly lifted, vendors had no time to purchase goods and there were no fireworks to watch.

homesick.

Although there are unsatisfactory things everywhere, there are no wars, no random explosions that kill people, and I can stay in bed and sleep in peace, and still have my family. How happy it is.

"Sasuke-kun also likes watching fireworks."

Behind him, Shikamaru's father Nara Shikaku rubbed Sasuke's head.

"I heard from Shikamaru that you are usually very active in practicing. If you don't understand something, you can always come to me and ask me for advice."

Saying such caring words when you are vulnerable feels like a pua or using the suspension bridge effect to gain favor. It's really annoying, and I feel a little bit deceived.

"Shikaku-senpai, if you interact with other children in front of your own child like this, be careful he will get jealous."

Shikamaru acted unconcerned, "Who would be jealous over such a thing!"

"Shikamaru turns out to be jealous because of daddy and me. Everyone is jealous. Yo, yo, yo!"

Shikaku extended his claws to Shikamaru's pineapple head tied with a hairnet, which was not so convenient. Shikamaru kept telling his father to take his hand away quickly, but he made no move to avoid it.

Take care of a lonely kid next to you.

"Naruto-kun too! Yossi yossi!"

"Hahaha……"

Seeing these two people enjoying themselves unhappily, the others in the group laughed happily.

"That Kakashi just messed up my hair, so I fixed it."

"Have you met Kakashi?"

"I took Sasuke to find the buried Uchiha, and met the white-haired Kakashi, who introduced us to an Uchiha named oTobi or Obito. He ran away without saying a few words, and even knocked me Brain.”

Kakashi, that's a pitiful person too. It seems he hasn't gotten over the shadow of losing his companion yet.

They are all in the same village. Even if they live far apart, to be honest, they are not too far away. The relationship is not that good yet. It is still a bit outrageous to spend the night at someone else's house for the first time when they meet.

Shikaku was rejected by Sasuke as soon as he proposed it. Naruto was quite interested, but Shikaku didn't ask him specifically.

Before they were about to say goodbye, Sasuke still wanted to confirm, regardless of whether he had spoken politely before, "Shikaku-senpai, is it true that I can come here to ask questions about training?"

"Of course, if you come over to ask questions, I can also take Shikamaru with me to practice together. If there is a peer who is too lazy, he will lose his own face, hahaha."

Shikamaru was already starting to feel the pressure, "Sasuke, you should take a good rest during the holidays."

Sasuke thought for a moment and changed the title, "Then I'll come visit you a few days later, Mr. Shikaku, so I won't bother you then."

It doesn't take much time to talk about the secrets of Ninjutsu training. The key is that you have to be willing to be a teacher. Shikaku said: "Don't listen to this brat. He is just lazy. You can come to me at any time."

During the New Year, we have to offer sacrifices to our old friends. This is our first time in Konoha after being reborn. This is also a custom that we only learned when we celebrated the New Year with the three families of Pig, Deer, and Butterfly.

After doing a complete show, on the first day after returning home, he went to the Nook and Corner Cemetery that Sarutobi told him to visit the graves.

It was a little late and there were not many people.

Even if the entire Uchiha clan were carved on the tombstones according to their families, they would still occupy several rows of positions.

The deceased was the biggest, Uchiha had a bad reputation, so it was good that he wasn't pushed or smashed, and there weren't many rotten peels and leaves.

It’s impossible to give flowers as I don’t have the spare money.

Use fire escape to almost burn down the surrounding weeds.

The fire of Huo Dun is not like firewood or natural gas fire. The high-temperature chakra comes out of thin air. After burning the object, it will not bring about the dirt caused by the accumulation of organic matter like the black bottom of the pot.

The ashes of plants and trees were stuck to the tombstone, and two spoonfuls of melted snow water were added to it. It was already a great honor to Sarutobi, at least he didn't take his words as farts.

After taking inventory of the entire clan's houses, I did a little research on everything I could find with names on it. The "Uchiha Genealogy" is densely written on five large scrolls and is enshrined in Nanga Shrine. Of course it is a copy of the printed version. It was written with great pains and of course I have to carry it myself.

As for the relics that can prove his identity, except for his own Uchiha Fugaku lineage, his relatives and friends who are closer to him, or NPCs that he seems to have heard of in anime, no one else has collected them.

I don't intend to become a historian of Konoha, specializing in the rise and fall of Uchiha or anything like that.

If you burn incense on paper, burn an extra pile for them on the side, and it will be enough to be enshrined.

Can he still survive and cause trouble for himself? Hiruzen, Danzo, and Weasel were all dead, and they couldn't find themselves here.

Follow the road to Nanga Shrine and use fire to melt the snow to clear the way. If you don't pursue lethality, you can burn it from the foot of the hill to the entrance of the shrine hall. The effect seems to be similar to that of sweeping snow, but it is a little wet.

Wind Escape, Water Escape, Air Escape, you still need to practice more, even if you don't have the initial proficiency in chakra properties, and you can't use hundreds or thousands of shadow clones, you still have plenty of time. Fire Escape is still not very comprehensive in cleaning up the dust.

Method of sacrifice?

Scented wax, money paper, and various food offerings, this is what I am familiar with.

The method of burning fire is very similar to the Uchiha family's fire fan. Is this also the reason why he traveled to Uchiha?

When the wax is gone and the incense is extinguished, the embers on the ground are cleared away, and then we go down the mountain and go home with the fruits and food.

It's not bad. If I want to come to the shrine in the future, I have a reasonable excuse, and I don't have to worry about someone staring behind me.

The little golden retriever jumped up, "Sasuke, your clone didn't cook at this hour, so I asked for directions and came here! What are you busy with?"

"It's the Uchiha clan's shrine up there. I'm going to pay my respects."

From the literal meaning, it seemed easy to understand, and Naruto didn't think too much about it, "Shrine? Are there many gods?"

Sasuke felt a little emotional, "Do you think you are worshiping a god?"

"Is not it?"

"The surname 'Uchiha' is enshrined in Nanga Shrine, or it could be the ancestors of Uchiha who have been ancestral for thousands of years. Of course, there is no problem if you regard your ancestors as gods."
