Chapter 190 In front of the Memorial Monument

That afternoon, in front of the commemorative monument.

It was only a year since the last time everyone gathered in front of the monument.

The last time was the end of the Third Ninja War, when Konoha collectively mourned the ninjas who died in the war.

And this time, it was to commemorate the ninjas who died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion and the civilians who died.

Everyone wore black clothes to express their condolences.

The Uchiha clan uniformly wore black clothes with the Uchiha family crest on the back.

The sun was quite bright today, but everyone was obviously not in the mood to appreciate the weather.

In front of Konoha's Fire Pattern Memorial Monument, everyone stood together in darkness.

From time to time, sounds of crying could be heard in the crowd.

Among these people are wives who have lost their husbands and children who have lost their parents.

Among them was a brown-haired boy with a scar on his face, holding his fist against his face in pain and crying, which made people look at him with pity.

It is said that the parents of this boy named Umino Iruka all died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

There are many children like Umino Iruka.

Che's white hair stood out among the crowd, and naturally the person standing next to him was Yuhi Hong.

Kurenai hugged and comforted a purple-haired girl who was hiding her face and crying.

"Anko, if you want to cry, cry. Don't hold it in your heart."

This girl is Mitarai Anko, and her parents also died in the battle with Kyuubi.

Although Hong was comforting Hong Dou, besides comforting her, Hong looked at Che beside her, because if it hadn't been for Che, there would have been one more girl crying in front of the memorial tablet today.

Che saw Hong's thoughts, smiled and stroked Hong's back, stroking the slightly curly hair that was scattered behind her.

"It's fine."

"Uh-huh."

Compared with the darkness of everyone, Sarutobi Hiruzen put on the Hokage's white Hokage robe and red Hokage hat, with a solemn expression and closed his eyes in silence.

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke.

"Many people lost their lives including the Fourth Hokage Minato and his wife."

"The exact cause of the incident is still unclear."

"For now, however, we must mourn the death of our companion."

Everyone then collectively bowed in silence.

Everyone's bodies were pressed down, and they could clearly see the word "Hokage" engraved on the platform under Konoha's bright red fire-patterned memorial tablet.

On the platform in front of the commemorative monument, there is a bamboo basket. In the bamboo basket, there is a yellow-haired baby wrapped in orange swaddling clothes, curled up with his little hands and falling into a deep sleep.

The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, did not reveal the identity of the baby.

Most people who didn't know the inside story just thought he was an orphan who couldn't find his parents.

Little did they know that the parents of this baby were the Fourth Hokage couple who saved Konoha, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

In the crowd, Itachi held the infant Sasuke in his arms, noticed the baby in front of the commemorative monument, and fell into his own thoughts.

"Life will be born."

Surrounding everyone are large tombstones in the newly built cemetery.

"Life will die."

Itachi's thoughts are always more delicate and rich than others.

At this time, in front of Itachi, a girl wearing purple clothes and a single ponytail tied with a red hairband turned around and noticed Itachi's trance.

This girl is Uchiha Izumi, the girl who was rescued by Itachi on the night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

Often some mature people who are not in line with their peers will attract the attention of girls of the same age.

The situation of Itachi and Izumi was just like when Che first came to the ninja school to introduce himself and attracted Kurenai's attention.

It's just that Itachi has one more brother than Che, and he's not as lonely as Che.

The silence ended and everyone dispersed.

After a disaster, it is not enough to mourn the dead.

Those who are still alive should inherit the will of the dead and live well.

There are still a large number of ruined buildings in Konoha that need to be renovated and rebuilt.

Almost all the active forces in Konoha have been mobilized to do their best to contribute to the reconstruction of the village.

"Che, let's go help too."

After Kurenai comforted the heartbroken Anko, Orochimaru appeared outside the cemetery and picked Anko away.

But that's okay, after all Orochimaru is Anko's teacher, Anko will probably feel better there.

"good."

Che responded and was about to leave with Hong.

"Take us."

Three voices were superimposed together. These three people were Asuma and Bronze Fire and Iron Fire.

Che turned around to see clearly who was coming, but he also did not refuse.

"I'm coming too." Kakashi walked out of the crowd, his white hair also very conspicuous.

"And me!" The excited voice sounded like that of Metkai.

More and more people gathered together, and everyone came to the village to help rebuild.

"It seems we have quite a lot of talents in this class."

Che joked to Hong.

Because many of these young ninjas are in the same class as Che and Hong.

"Yes."

Red smiled slightly.

It is often things that touch memories and the future that can arouse people's emotions.

And these classmates are not only the memories of Che and Kurenai, but also the backbone of Konoha's future.

"Look, people from the Konoha Police Force are here too."

Although the group of people who came later had not changed out of the black clothes they wore during the moment of silence, the uniform Uchiha family crest behind them said it all.

What's more, the leader, Uchiha Fugaku, is not an unfamiliar face in the village.

"Logically speaking, it is the duty of our Konoha Police Force to help the village rebuild, and I would like to thank you for your help."

Fugaku said to Che.

Fugaku couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the group of people behind Che, and thought to himself.

"The younger generation of Konoha is actually headed by Che. If I lead Uchiha to support Che in the future, then..."

However, despite the many inner dramas, the Uchiha clan leader and captain of the Konoha Police Force still showed a very calm expression on his face.

Che said very tactfully: "Captain, how can we talk about gratitude at this time? We are all part of Konoha. Isn't it natural to help with the reconstruction work?"

"Yes, yes, you are right." Fugaku smiled kindly, which made the members of the police force beside him look stunned.

You must know that Uchiha Fugaku's title is Evil Eye, and he is also very strict in the management within the police force.

Usually there is no smile at all on this face with tear troughs.

But now Fugaku is smiling as gently as the Fourth Hokage.

After Fugaku and Che had a brief conversation, they started the heavy work. Fortunately, most buildings in Konoha are made of wooden structures, which made it easier for everyone to clean up the site and complete the reconstruction.

Among the ruins, Uchiha Itachi stood holding Sasuke.

"Itachi-kun!"

A girl named Izumi came running calling Itachi's name.

Itachi couldn't help but look back.

Izumi came to Itachi, holding his hands in front of him, his cheeks slightly red.

"Well, thank you last time."

"Thanks to you, I was saved."

"Luckily you're not dead." Itachi said honestly.

This made Quan stunned for a moment. After being slightly shy, he changed the topic and looked at Sasuke, who was in Itachi's arms with an unhappy expression.

"Aha, sister?"

"Brother." Sasuke stared at Izumi warily in his brother's arms.

"Can I have a hug?"

"no."

Quan immediately lost his temper, "Why?"

"I don't want to make her cry." Itachi said helplessly.

"The baby won't cry." Izumi said as he hugged Sasuke from Itachi.

"Wow!!!"

Sasuke yelled and waved his arms, then pushed Izumi's cheek away with great repulsion.

This made Quan's expression freeze instantly, and his eyes seemed to become beady eyes.

"Don't cry, don't cry, be good." Itachi comforted Sasuke as he took it.

Sasuke immediately stopped crying and even clapped his hands happily.

Itachi quickly hugged Sasuke and left.

Quan turned back angrily, "What!"
