15 Memorial For The Fallen

Two days later.

The combat personnel on the front line returned one after another.

The first thing they did was bury the dead under the leadership of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In this local war with Hidden Mist Village, Uchiha clan's formation had taken up a third of the total number of dead.

The rest were all auxiliary ninjas and a large number of cannon fodder ninjas.

The bodies of the dead were covered by white cloth and placed on the lawn.

The relatives came to send them off one by one.

"Father, don't go!"

"Brother, brother..."

"Rest in peace. I will take good care of your wife."

....

There were heartbreaking cries around.

Uchiha Tunan tied the white cloth to his head and knelt in front of Uchiha Yonbu and Uchiha Hanako's bodies. He was silent.

The point of the crying scene was not to cry, but to let others think that you were very sad from the bottom of their hearts.

If you cried at the top of your lungs, you would not be able to stand out.

The sad atmosphere needed to be laid down plainly, and when necessary, it could be supplemented with a different expression or action.

Uchiha Tunan placed the cups he had prepared beforehand in front of Uchiha Yonbu and Uchiha Nanako.

Then, they poured wine and tea into the cups.

The tea was very strong, and the wine was the one that smelled the most fragrant.

In an instant, the surroundings were filled with the fragrance of wine and tea, attracting the attention of many people.

"Father, I actually always knew that you were that kind of person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

"You have never said a heart-warming word to me, but I know you have done a lot for me."

Uchiha Tunan looked at the body of his parents in front of him, with happiness in his eyes, and said in a calm and low voice,

"I was very nervous on the day of the entrance examination of the Ninja School."

"You kept calling me a waste with a cold face, telling me not to lose face for you, not to lose face for Uchiha. "

"In fact, I know that you are more nervous than me. Your hands are full of sweat."

"The sun was so big that day. I took the exam in the classroom."

"You just stood outside the school and waited. "

"When I told you that I passed the exam, you just said that I was alright."

"That night, you drank three pots of sake. Normally, you only drank one glass."

"You said that the ninja had to stay awake at all times, but you were drunk that day."

"After school, my grades have been very bad. Every day when you go home, you call me a waste. Then, you teach me how to refine chakra by hand and teach me how to throw Kunai."

"You have worked hard every day, but you still have to stay up late with me."

"Tell me, ninjas can increase their strength in danger. In order to set an example for a useless son like me."

"You gave up the stable garrison position and resolutely chose to go to the frontline to fight."

"You said that if my strength is not at the bottom of the line, you will teach me Phoenix Fairy Fire."

At this point, Uchiha Tunan's face was filled with a stiff smile. He said in a daze,

"Not only have I awakened the Three Magatama Sharingan, I have also secretly learned the Phoenix Fairy Fire. I was waiting for you to come back and give you a surprise."

"I asked you to praise me. Your child is not a waste."

At this point, Uchiha Tunan's voice was already hoarse, as if he was trying his best to endure the pain, but he still maintained a smile on his face.

Two lines of clear tears flowed out from the corners of his eyes.

He reached out his hand, stood up, and began to form seals.

The surrounding people all turned their gazes towards Uchiha Tunan.

Uchiha Tunan's hands turned into illusions, quickly forming the last seal.

"Fire Escape, Phoenix Fire Technique."

A hoarse shout was heard.

Several fire snakes shot out of Uchiha Tunan's mouth and rushed into the sky. Then, they gathered together and collided.

The sudden movement completely diverted the attention of the people around them.

After the Phoenix Fairy Fire was released, Uchiha Tunan lowered his hands weakly and said with a dazed expression,

"In the future, I will never hear you call me trash again. Let me drink with you for the first and last time."

After saying that, Uchiha Tunan raised his head and poured the wine in the bottle into his mouth.

The tears and spilled wine gathered at his chin and flowed down his neck, soaking most of his shirt.

The people who came to mourn were moved.

Even those who had cried their hearts out before felt as if they weren't that sad when compared to Uchiha Tunan.

There is actually such a genius in the clan, and he cherishes his loved ones so much.

Originally, the clan should focus on nurturing him, but he was interested in the Hokage.

The Great Elder next to him looked at Uchiha Tunan's performance with his deep eyes and whispered:

"Don't be deceived by his appearance. This little guy's tolerance is not ordinary. I think if he can grow up, he will definitely be able to lead the Uchiha clan to the glory of the Warring States."

When Uchiha Tomitake heard this, he looked at the Great Elder in surprise. Then he looked at Uchiha Tunan again and carefully sized him up.

He said with a puzzled face, "But when I just came back, I heard people in the clan talking about this little guy, saying that he..."

The Great Elder smiled and patted Uchiha Tomitake on the shoulder. "Fuyue, don't care about those things. You will know in the future."

Uchiha Tomitake nodded. He still chose to believe the words of the respected Great Elder.

The Great Elder had always been very accurate at judging people.

Uchiha Tunan had not finished his performance. After all, his parents had died, so he could not only pour his feelings for his father.

Next was his mother, Uchiha Hanako.

"Mother, you are always..."

Kakashi and Sakumo stood not far away, quietly watching Uchiha Tunan.

"Kakashi, Tunan is a trustworthy companion. You have to cherish this bond."

"Got it." Kakashi pretended to be indifferent as he replied indifferently.

However, there was a hint of worry in his eyes as he looked at Uchiha Tunan.

[Ding... gain Kakashi's approval.]

Uchiha Tunan, who was telling the truth, suddenly paused.

Kakashi... had a long life, and his later strength was just average.

He was not a good target, but a little weak.

Uchiha Tunan secretly shook his head. To him, Kakashi was tasteless.

He did not know when he would be able to obtain Sakumo's approval.

Chiryu Hyuga knelt in front of a corpse with a dazed look in her eyes.

Because he was too far away from the central area, she did not see Uchiha Tunan.

Hyuga Chiryu's father was a detective Ninja. At the beginning of this local war, he died on the battlefield.

But before today, no one had specifically told her about his father's death.

Hyuga Chiryu's father was not talented, he was just a Chuunin.

In this kind of small local war, the Hyuga clan did not send elites to the battlefield.

Instead, they pulled a bunch of cannon fodder like his father to be scouts.

"The powerful family can enjoy themselves in the family, and the weak can only die on the battlefield."

"Does such a dirty family need to be protected?"

Hyuga Chiryu lowered her head and murmured. She reached out her right hand into the long bangs on his forehead and gently touched the bird mark in the cage.

Her eyes flashed with madness, and there was no longer the tender and weak appearance he had before.

The next moment, the veins on Hyuga Chiryu's face bulged.

At this time, Hyuga Chiryu rolled her eyes.

But because of the sight, no one noticed this scene.

After the burial was over, the Ninjas who participated in the war and the relatives of the fallen Ninjas came to the memorial tablet.

Sarutobi, dressed in the royal robe, began to give a comforting speech.

"The place where Konoha is flying, the fire is endless..."

Everyone had long been tired of listening to the contents of these speeches, but due to their identity, they could only bow their heads and remain silent.

However, as Sarutobi spoke, he changed the topic and a new speech appeared.

There are already three Hokage in Konoha.

The will of fire also changes according to the changes in times.

In summary, the core thoughts of the will of fire have never changed, but the key points of each era are different.

I summarized the key points of these three eras.

The focus of the first will of fire is unity...

Standing behind the crowd of Uchiha's clan, Uchiha Tunan revealed an excited and reverent expression as he looked at Sarutobi who was speaking with fervor and assurance on the stage.

The contents of his speech were all the contents of Uchiha Tunan's diary.

Not to mention plagiarism, he even copied out several key points and actually picked up some minor details.

But even so, many people below gradually became absorbed in listening to it.
