Chapter 400

In front of the memorial.

Everyone looked at a graveyard covered with soil and a memorial with a gloomy expression.

"One bow!" The person in charge of the memorial, who was also the person holding the funeral, shouted in a heavy voice.

Everyone bent down 90 degrees.

"Two bows!"

...

"Three bows!"

After finishing, the person in charge walked in front of Kushina and Tsunade and asked in a low voice.

"Do you need to say anything?"

Tsunade, Nawaki, Kushina, and Hong looked at each other and shook their heads.

The first three are descendants of Mito Uzumaki, and Uchiha Hong is the last disciple of Mito, and is also qualified to wear mourning clothes and bid farewell to the old man with Tsunade and others.

"No, everyone is very busy, let's disperse!" Tsunade said gloomily.

Tomorrow is the funeral of those fallen ninjas. In this war, many people died.

Besides, the scale of the farewell is already very large.

If she is asked to give a speech on the stage again, I am afraid that grandma will blame her.

Besides, she has nothing to say.

Nawaki, Kushina, and Hong also have the same idea.

So, the funeral of Uzumaki Mito has been completed for more than half.

Soon, after a group of people presented flowers, they said goodbye and left.

Some of these people are the management of Konoha, who need to go back to handle affairs, and some are the clan leaders of various clans, who need to go back to arrange the funeral of the fallen ninjas in the clan.

Others are to help prepare the funeral for their deceased friends.

Just like Tsunade said, everyone is very busy.

However, they still need to have dinner in the Senju clan's territory in the evening, and Uzumaki Mito's funeral will be truly completed.

Soon, most of the people here left, leaving only the future few people, Da Zhuang and his wife, Sarutobi Hiruzen four senior executives, and Orochimaru three people.

Nawaki leaned against Tsunade's waist, his face pressed against his sister's waist, tears streaming down his face, soon soaking Tsunade's waist.

Kushina knelt in front of the spirit, she stared blankly at the name on it.

Now in this world, she really only had one clan member left, Uzumaki Nagato.

Although the ninja world is so big, there must be people from the Uzumaki clan hiding in the dark, but the only Uzumaki clan member she knew was Nagato.

Minato looked at her distraught appearance, couldn't help squatting beside her, and stretched out his hand to press on her shoulder.

After seeing that the other party noticed his hand, he whispered to comfort her: "Kushina, everyone will die one day, some heavier than a mountain, some lighter than a feather..."

This was a sentence he wrote in the future book when he was bored, and he thought it was very poetic, so he wrote it down.

But at that time it was written as Mount Tai, he didn't know the place name, so he changed it to Dashan, anyway, the meaning is the same.

"When Grandma Mito passed away, she was smiling and had no regrets. She died in her old age. She had been separated from the first generation of Mu for so long. This time, she can finally go down to find him. We should be happy for her!"

"I know!" Kushina turned back and looked at the spirit tablet, saying hoarsely.

She was once the princess of the Uzumaki clan, but because of a disaster, she lost her clan members, her home, her parents and her relatives.

As a result, she hid in the ninja world for so many years and experienced the hardships at the bottom.

And the countless times her identity was exposed and hunted down.

Until not long ago, she was brought back to Konoha by the Konoha ninja.

Finally, she experienced the family affection that she didn't value before, but now she desperately desires.

After losing and regaining it, she cherishes this relationship even more.

It's just... too short...

God, why don't you let grandma live a few more days...

Looking at Kushina like this, Minato felt extremely distressed.

It was more painful than the first time she saw Mirai being confessed by a girl.

He reached out and took Kushina's shoulders, letting her lean on him, and whispered softly: "If you want to cry, just cry!"

Kushina could have held back, but Minato's words seemed to have turned on a switch in her heart.

In an instant, her tears burst out, like a dam opening a floodgate, countless waters rushed out instantly.

"Wuwu..."

"Wuwawawa..."

/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

"Minato, I don't have a grandma anymore!"

She grabbed Minato's collar and cried again.

Mirai, like Nawaki, leaned against her sister.

His eyes were a little red.

He was not a cold-blooded creature. Even Orochimaru wanted to cry, let alone him.

He raised his head and blinked twice, trying to let the tears flow back.

Hong held Mirai's hand.

She wiped her tears and couldn't help sobbing softly.Since the future and the others went to the battlefield, she almost always ran to Uzumaki Mito's residence except for the mission.

Every time she could see the smiling face of Uzumaki Mito's grandmother.

Now when she closed her eyes, her mind was full of Uzumaki Mito's smile.

As if she was not dead yet, still waiting for her in the direction of the Uzumaki Tower.

"Teacher Mito~ Have a good journey!"

...

The Land of Rain.

In a quiet cave.

There were three small figures sitting around the fire.

It was drizzling outside again. Although there was a fire in the cave, the air was still humid.

Xiaonan looked at Nagato's absent-minded look, and she finally couldn't help asking.

"Nagato, what's wrong with you? Why do you feel a little absent-minded since a week ago!"

In the past, they thought that Nagato was worried because he was afraid of being found by ninjas, but now they don't think so.

The cave here is farther and more remote.

There were almost no people within 50 kilometers.

And they were still in the secret cave, so it was absolutely impossible for anyone to find them.

Their previous house had been destroyed in that battle, and Jiraiya-sensei had to go to help Konoha fight, so he could not take care of them for the time being.

For safety reasons, they discussed and decided to take all the supplies they could use and go to other safe areas to wait for the teacher's return.

Before Nagato replied, Yahiko spoke.

"I guess he might be worried about Jiraiya-sensei, wondering if he would not come back!"

"It has been a week since the Sand Ninja withdrew, and I heard that Jiraiya-sensei followed the Hokage and returned to Konoha on the same day. He might not want us!"

He said indifferently, but his eyes revealed a hint of complexity.

In fact, he didn't believe what he said at all. Although he had only been with Jiraiya-sensei for a few days, that man was still abnormally lustful.

Every time he went out, his eyes were always on the beautiful big sisters around him.

But he knew that he was a very responsible man. Since he promised to take care of the three of them for three years, he would not break his promise.

However, every time he thought of this, he would always think whether Jiraiya teacher had run away with the bucket...

Every time it popped up, he would suppress it.

But after once, twice, countless times, he could no longer suppress it, so he said it.

Konan's face sank, and she couldn't help but increase her tone.

"Yahiko, what are you talking about? Jiraiya teacher is not that kind of person!"

After Yahiko finished speaking, he also realized that his words were a bit inappropriate, and hurriedly closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Nagato glanced at him and didn't say anything to Yahiko.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of Konoha, and said in a faint tone: "I don't know why, I always feel like someone has passed away.

It makes me feel very uncomfortable, and my heart hurts!"

Hearing this, Yahiko and Konan were stunned.

They looked at each other blankly, someone passed away? !

Could it be Jiraiya-sensei...

But no, Jiraiya-sensei is so strong, and he has the strongest Hokage, the Third Hokage, by his side.

Who can hurt Jiraiya-sensei?

When Nagato saw the expressions of his two friends, he knew they were wrong, and quickly corrected them: "It's not Jiraiya-sensei!"

"It's just...it's just...how should I put it..."

"It feels like one of my relatives has passed away!"

Hearing this, Konan and Yahiko looked at each other again.

'Nagato has relatives! ? '

'I don't know, by the way, could it be the little girl I saw last time? ! '

At that time, Jiraiya summoned Orochimaru and Tsunade, and they summoned their own disciples.

At that time in the cave, it was a rare happy time for them. The one who impressed them the most was the handsome man with long hair down to his hips.

At that time, he also performed the stunt of "opening his mouth to swallow a rice bucket", which made Yahiko envy him every time he moved supplies and said how great it would be if he had the [Snake Swallowing Technique].

The second is the little girl with the same hair color as Nagato.

After all, she was from the once famous Uzumaki clan, and she was also a member of Nagato's clan, so they naturally had a deep impression of her.

Konan hesitated and asked tentatively: "Is it that little girl Uzumaki Kushina?"

Nagato hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and shook his head.

"Not really!"

"The blood of our Uzumaki clan is very strange. In addition to longevity, it also has a huge amount of chakra, so that when we see our clan members, we will have a telepathic connection!"

As he said, he covered his chest and looked outside the cave, that is, in the direction of Konoha.

"It gives me the feeling, likeA respected elder has passed away!"

Hearing this, Konan and Yahiko were stunned.

A respected elder has passed away...

This...

They don't know who it is...

In the ninja world, he is not the only Uzumaki clan member who has such an idea.

There is also a red-haired girl in the Land of Grass, staring blankly at the horizon.
