0641 third generation funeral (Ch 0641)

But regardless of whether the nomination meeting went as they had expected, Dong Si’s position as minister was a foregone conclusion.

The three of them had another big meal to celebrate. Except for Toushi’s occasional distraction, they also had to consider the recent death of the Hokage and not laughing or making noise, but they still enjoyed the meal in the end.

The next morning, heavy clouds pressed heavily on the sky, and the rooftop of the Hokage Building was shrouded in solemnity. Toushi, wearing a black funeral dress and holding a white chrysanthemum in his hand, slowly walked up to the rooftop with the crowd. Many people had already arrived in the center of the rooftop. The clan leaders such as Fugaku and Hiashi looked solemn, and Shikaku, Haiyi and others also looked gloomy.

The venue was not large, and only about a hundred people were allowed in. The rest of the Konoha people could only express their condolences for the Third Hokage at other venues.

At the front of the crowd, the portrait of the Sandaime Hokage stood quietly, as if still gazing at the village he had protected all his life.

All the attendees lined up in a row. In front of Toushi was Kakashi. This highly anticipated guy even knew to put away “Intimate Paradise” before going up to the rooftop.

In front of the portrait of the Third Hokage, after Kakashi presented the flowers and moved away, it was Toushi’s turn.

Dong Si gently placed the white chrysanthemums on the flower stand, and some emotions that didn’t belong to him began to emerge in his heart.

But he didn’t show any unusual behavior, so he returned to the team and waited for the next step.

When he was free, Dong Si’s eyes swept over the people around him.

He saw Itachi, who had not been seen for a few days, standing in the corner. His face was no longer pale, and his eyes were more determined. As an elite of the Anbu, Itachi had been busy carrying out the task of hunting down the remnants of the Root in the past two days, and had no time to look for Toushi.

Shisui and Hayabusa stood beside Itachi, staring at the portrait in silence.

Among the crowd, Asma, who was standing at the front, was the rare one who didn’t smell of cigarettes. He was dressed neatly and his beard had been trimmed.

The air was filled with the faint scent of chrysanthemums, intertwined with the low sobs of a few children in the corner.

“The Sandaime practiced the Will of Fire throughout his life. His departure is a great loss to Konoha.” After everyone who should be present arrived, Utane Koharu’s voice rang out, breaking the dull silence on the rooftop, “But the fire of Konoha will not go out. We will inherit his will and protect this village.”

Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with remembrance and respect for the three generations.

Dong Si looked up at the Hokage Rock not far away, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart – if you look at it from the perspective of the new generation, the Third Generation may not have done many things well, but the Third Generation grew up in the old era and played a qualified politician in the position of Hokage, so there is nothing to criticize. After all, this time, he solved the Uchiha problem before his death. Danzo also “cooperated” to die, and sealed the possible black material about the Third Generation in his mind.

It can be said that the Konoha that the Third Hokage left to all Konoha people was a relatively united and powerful ninja village without serious problems.

No matter how many twists and turns Sarutobi Hiruzen has experienced along the way, Toushi now recognizes this Third Kage very much.

When he withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked back at the present, Dong Si even felt that the portrait of the third generation looked a little nostalgic.

“This old guy, why couldn’t anyone like him when he was alive…”

The Third Generation had been the pillar of Konoha for decades. Perhaps his departure caused Konoha to fall into a brief period of confusion, but everyone present knew that the village needed to move on.

As for who will be the fifth Hokage to lead everyone forward, no one can say for sure at the moment.

“No one notified me of the meeting tomorrow, so it looks like I really have to give Jiraiya seven days.”

Dong Si said goodbye to the acquaintances present and left alone.

It was just that it started to drizzle when the funeral was over. When Dong Si walked on the road, his black funeral dress gradually absorbed water and weighed heavily on his shoulders…
