Chapter 336 Funeral

Chapter 338 Funeral

If Danzo were still alive, his eyes would probably turn red after hearing Ming Jing's words.

Kato Dan felt a lot of emotion in his heart at this time.

More than ten years ago, in order to obtain the position of Hokage, they had planned it for many years and put in countless efforts before finally grabbing this position ten years ago.

As a result, ten years later, when he said that he would pass on the position of Hokage to Ming Jing, this guy actually wanted to let him do it for another ten years.

What is this called?

Kato Dan smiled bitterly twice and continued:

"No, Ming Jing, in the current village, you are the only one who can be the Hokage. Although I really don't want to admit it, under the current situation, with my ability, I really cannot shoulder the responsibilities that a Hokage should bear. In the current village, Only you have this ability. Whether it is strength or prestige, you are superior to all previous Hokages. At this time, replacing a more talented and outstanding Hokage can also better boost the morale of the ninjas. "

Thoughts flashed rapidly in Ming Jing's mind.

Is the position of Hokage tiring? Of course it is tiring, and Kato Dan is undoubtedly the most tiring and mentally stressed Hokage in Konoha right now.

The first Hokage was heartless and left everything to Senju Tobirama. He only had to make decisions on major matters. Even if there were problems with these decisions, he still had the external brain Senju Tobirama to clean up the aftermath.

Senju Tobirama himself has outstanding abilities and has done the most practical things. He also perfected the early system of Konoha. After the death of the first generation, Senju Tobirama was responsible for all matters of Konoha alone, but at least those things were taken care of. Within his own control.

Not to mention the third generation. When he first took over as Hokage, he was still very conscientious. Although his ability was a bit lacking, Danzo was there to help him with the dirty work, Mito Kabuto and Koharu, who had been transferred to the dormitory, were here to help with government affairs. The first two The rich legacy accumulated by the Hokage was borne out by Uzumaki Mito in the early stage, and the rise of the Sannin in the middle and late stages. No matter how poor his abilities were and how prodigal he was, he could still get by with Konoha's strong foundation.

But Kato Dan was more unlucky.

Within two years of becoming Hokage, Madara ran out and started acting like a demon, and his strength and power became stronger and stronger.

This Hokage is really under too much pressure.

"This, okay."

Der Spiegel is determined to find a way to develop something like artificial intelligence to help it deal with these things.

When Ming Jing takes over as Hokage, there is actually no need to hold a vote of confidence or anything like that.

In the first generation, it was because Madara could compete with him. Even if the first generation wanted to hand over the position of Hokage to Madara, Senju Tobirama also introduced a voting process to push Senju Hashirama to the top.

The second generation was directly identified by the first generation. The first generation had such prestige in the village at that time that he directly designated the successor. The second generation was also the only qualified person in Konoha Village at that time.

The same goes for the second generation who appoints the third generation to take over. He has that prestige, but the third generation's prestige and ability are not enough, so he needs the help of his old classmates.

And when the fourth generation is selected, the third generation will not have the ability to force one person to take over. Not only is there a gap between himself and the previous two generations of Hokage, but also because there are too many people who have the ability to take over as the fourth generation, and the third generation himself cannot suppress it. Under faction fighting, you can only vote.

As for the fourth generation to the fifth generation, history has entered another cycle. The difference is that this time only Ming Jing can be the fifth generation. Even Kato Dan, the fourth generation, wants to retire early.

…

…

After the meeting.

Uchiha clan land.

"Uchiha, is there finally going to be a Hokage!"

Uchiha Yu was leaning on the lounge chair, basking in the sun, smoking a pipe, his face full of relief.

"Ding Jing, when I was young, I was only a jounin at most. Even if I was pretty good among the jonins, I am definitely far away from your current level. But after living for at least more than eighty years, I still have some problems. I can tell you from experience. Of course, what I say may not be correct, but I think it should still be able to bring you some help.”

Uchiha put down his pipe and stood up on the recliner.

"No matter what your thoughts are now, you must take over the position of Hokage as soon as possible. I can see that you are afraid of trouble and don't want to be entangled in all kinds of trivial matters, but you can ignore it and just use the name of Hokage. No., take care of it when you want to. After all, your strength is here. Strength is the foundation of everything. No one in Konoha can hinder you in whatever you want to do. "

"Just like the First Hokage fifty years ago, basically the Senju Tobirama guy is responsible for more than 90% of the affairs in the village. But once the First Hokage wants to do something, no one can stop it, and the whole village will do its best to carry it out. The will of the first generation is brought about by absolute strength and prestige.”

"the same as you."

Uchihaha took another drag on his pipe, blew out the smoke ring, and continued:

"Moreover, now that Minato and Kushina have united to possess combat power that surpasses Kage's level, when Fugaku and Shisui also activate the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, how will Dan suppress them? In the past, you were Dan's mantle My disciple is the absolute crown prince of Konoha, so it doesn’t matter if your strength exceeds Dan’s. On the contrary, it can stabilize Dan’s status and increase his power.”

"But from now on, only you can hold on as Hokage. Fugaku and Shisui are both your clansmen. Shisui is even your younger brother. Namikaze Minato has a gentle and steady personality, and he has a good relationship with you, no matter from his own perspective. From the perspective of strength, or from the perspective of balancing the various war powers in the village, you are the only candidate. "

Ming Jing sat in front of the stone table, listening to Uchiha Yu's statement, and couldn't help but nodded.

There is a word called prosperity and decline.

When a force reaches its peak, once there is a slight decline, it will weaken rapidly and become irreversible.

From a historical perspective, Konoha has reached an unprecedented peak period. Even looking at the entire ninja world, it is the era with the most high-end combat power since the Six Paths Sage.

In the past, having a shadow-level strength was enough to become a shadow. The weaker the strength, the greater the role of intelligence, numbers, etc. in the battle. Even a slightly weaker shadow-level master would not be able to make tactical arrangements in the future. Under the right circumstances, it is possible to kill shadow-level players who are stronger than yourself.

This is why Danzo is not as strong as the Third Generation, and he is thinking about the position of Hokage all day long.

Because from this perspective, he does have the strength to become a shadow, and everyone's strength is not so great that it is difficult to be wiped out by other factors.

This kind of thing can happen when the leader and a very small number of individuals under his command have similar strengths. If a person whose strength is only at the shadow level is placed above multiple super shadow levels, there will probably be problems.

Once Konoha loses the external pressure of Madara, there is no telling what will happen. Even if he has his own six-level combat power, it is not something that an ordinary Kage level like Kato Dan can suppress the situation.

"I understand, Grandpa Yu, then I will be well prepared for the next period of time."

Ming Jing nodded to Uchiha Yu.

Anyway, my goal for the next period of time is to stay in the world of Naruto, understand the limits of the major blood successors, and try to integrate the blood successors into the net.

This is a relatively time-consuming effort.

Furthermore, he is preparing to kill Uchiha Madara and completely eliminate the current crisis in the ninja world.

At that time, you can leave a wooden clone sitting in the Hokage's office, and your true body can wander around.

"Calculating the time, it's almost almost here. Let's go. We still have to attend Itachi's funeral. Anyway, this kid is my old man and I have watched him grow up."

Uchiha Yu slowly stood up from the recliner, and Ming Jing gestured to help him.

"I don't need your support. Now that I can still walk without crutches, I plan to walk more."

Uchiha Yu waved his hand and walked out of the door slowly.

Ming Jing touched his nose and said nothing. He just picked up a few bouquets of chrysanthemums from the table and followed them.

To be honest, he hadn't experienced this feeling of walking slowly for a long time.

During the Kaleidoscope period, I would still save my pupil power and not easily use my heavenly hand power. However, after I mastered the Flying Thunder God later on, I rarely hurried on normally.

Now that I have gained insight into the ability to replicate blasts, I have almost never traveled normally. All I have to do is throw out a teleportation aperture and get it right in one step.

Walking around the streets now, I can see some changes that have taken place in Konoha in the past few years. With the promotion of the two top executives Ming Jing and Orochimaru, Konoha's current technological development is extremely rapid, and many modern products All have appeared.

Although it is not yet the international modern metropolis that it will be in the future Boruto era, many high-rise buildings have already been built.

"The memorial tablet has arrived."

Uchiha Yu's old eyes scanned the surroundings, and all he saw were people dressed in black like them, holding chrysanthemums in their hands.

"The funeral hasn't started yet, I'll go pay my respects to the others first."

Uchiha Yu took two bouquets of chrysanthemums and walked to the other side.

That's where his son and daughter-in-law were killed decades ago.

Ming Jing also came to the place where his original parents were and paid homage.

After the worship service, a burst of footsteps came to Ming Jing's side.

"Life is really fragile, Mingjing-kun. With the Mangekyou Sharingan, Itachi's strength was enough to threaten a village of shadows in the past, but he passed away at such a young age, don't you think? "Is life a very sad and cruel thing?"

You don't need to think about it to know that it must be Orochimaru who said this.

The old philosopher belongs to yes.

Because of the funeral, Uncle Snake was wearing a black kimono this time.

"Perhaps, we are destined to have a lifespan that is much longer than that of ordinary people. Even if one day we are unable to make any progress in cultivating immortals, there are still other ways to get rid of the limitation of lifespan. Regarding the passing of other passers-by in life, Sooner or later you have to learn to get used to it.”

Ming Jing stood up and did not look back.

"It seems I don't need to persuade you to change your mentality anymore. We are indeed the same kind of people."

Orochimaru smiled.

Ming Jing did not answer, but said:

"The funeral has begun. Come back to the team."

The two of them walked along the path together.

Everyone in the middle of the journey gave way to the two high-level officials of Konoha.

At the front of the crowd was not Kato Dan, the Hokage, but three other people from the Uchiha Itachi family.

Uchiha Mikoto hugged Sasuke, and the mother and son burst into tears. Uchiha Fugaku softly comforted his wife and son, looking sad.

The news that Itachi Uchiha was killed in the line of duty while performing a mission as an undercover agent has been announced in the village, so many people came here spontaneously to see off this young ninja who has been carrying a bad reputation for more than a year.

Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Jin were in front, carrying the coffin with two other Konoha ninjas through the crowd.

Because Itachi Uchiha was almost dead, only a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan was left besides the ashes, so in addition to the ashes, the coffin also contained his clothes during his lifetime.

There was no red cloud black robe of the Akatsuki organization, nor the forehead protector of the Konoha rebel ninja, which was to follow Itachi Uchiha's last wish and die as a Konoha ninja.

Therefore, it contained Shisui's jonin vest, the small Uchiha high-collar coat that Itachi Uchiha wore in the ninja school, and so on.

It is worth mentioning that among the other two Konoha ninjas, one of them was the leader of Itachi Uchiha during his Genin period, Kazesai Inota, and the other was a middle-aged man in his forties.

Kurono Ohfune, Uchiha Itachi's teacher at the Ninja School, was also the teacher of Ming Jing who was less than ten years old at the Ninja School twenty years ago.

Well, he was even Shisui's teacher at the Ninja School.

Mainly because he taught Uchiha Ming Jing, and the class he led at that time also had Fusai Inita and Inuzuka Tsumugi, a total of three jonins, and eight people in that class survived to become special jonins - in fact, it should be nine, but one died while performing a mission.

The high success rate is amazing.

Therefore, this has always been the most recognized teacher in the Ninja School. He has always been the teacher of the elite class of the Ninja School, so he has successively served as the teacher of Shisui and Itachi.

The funeral is over.

The next day.

The biological science laboratory in the newly established First Scientific Research Institute in Konoha.

After Shisui and Fugaku finished the funeral of Uchiha Itachi, they began to be studied here.

"I didn't expect that Mingjing-kun has made such great progress in biological science. Whether it is methods or techniques, you are far ahead of me, your teacher."

Tsunade's heart was complicated when she stood in front of the instrument that Mingjing had modified overnight.

Mingjing smiled and said nothing.

The world level of One Punch Man is very high, and the level of technology is also very high.

Not to mention Genos, who can almost be regarded as the ceiling of biologists in One Punch Man.

Since Mingjing has such a good relationship with such a super scientist, how could he not learn from him?

In fact, it is not considered stealing. Mingjing just quickly read most of Genos's books with his own Samsara Eye, and then memorized these things with his huge mental power.

If there is anything he doesn't know, ask Genos. If Genos can't explain it clearly, then demonstrate it directly on the spot.

With the divine mirror, Mingjing can understand it at a glance.
