Sunshine Sasuke, from the forum to the strongest in the ninja world

Sarutobi Konohamaru's reaction during this conversation completely confirmed Uchiha Sasuke's previous guess.

Konohamaru's stress reaction regarding Kakuzu's acceptance of surrender.

The fundamental problem hidden behind this contradiction.

In fact, it is the absolute conflict between the will of fire and one's own way of thinking.

The Will of Fire is a defensive weapon for the weak.

Good at defense, but not enough at development.

As time goes by, under the influence of this kind of thinking, the whole village will become more and more conservative and closed.

Even for the sake of "safety", under the banner of "preventing problems before they happen", they will do many stupid things that go against human nature and even the interests of the village, and even kill each other.

A typical example is the "Uchiha Clan Extermination" incident that changed his life.

And now, Uchiha Sasuke's move to persuade Kakuzu to surrender is a logic that is completely contrary to the Will of Fire.

Behind this is the confidence of the strong that they can control risks and try to further explore and develop their style of behavior.

Only the talented are selected and the virtuous and capable are chosen.

On the premise that there are no principled errors, incorporate more talents and support into your own system.

Furthermore, the ultimate wish of "bringing unprecedented stability and peace to the ninja world" was achieved.

Of course, Uchiha Sasuke was too lazy to say this to Konohamaru alone.

Because changing a person's mind is extremely difficult.

Moreover, the difficulty of this matter is obviously inversely proportional to the other party's intelligence level.

At this moment, facing Uchiha Sasuke's provocation and questioning of "Why don't you come and try your best to stop me", Konohamaru's face turned red and he stammered, unable to utter a word.

"The Will of Fire may really have a thousand good things, but there is one thing I don't quite understand."

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke continued to speak:

"Is it persuading others to die, or encouraging oneself to sacrifice?"

Hearing this question, Konohamaru on the opposite side showed a puzzled look on his face.

“Hahahaha, you are worthy of being the eldest master of the Sarutobi family.

"You have learned the essence of your grandfather."

Seeing Konohamaru's look, Uchiha Sasuke felt extremely ironic.

He just patted the other person on the shoulder.

Then he walked back towards the camp alone.

-

October 13th, the sixty-fifth year of Konoha.

One month later, Uchiha Sasuke returned to the Hidden Leaf Village after completing his mission at the Fire Temple.

The Land of Fire, Konohagakure Village, Konoha Square.

cloudy day.

Almost all the ninjas in the village gathered here, and each of them was wearing dark black ninja costume.

Expression, sad and solemn.

The center of the square was arranged to look like a mourning hall.

Two torches were burning high, and next to the lampstand were tables in two rows.

The table was filled with white daisies.

Mizuto Menen and Tsunade stood in the center of the square, with their backs to the portrait and facing the crowd.

Sad music sounded softly from afar.

The crowd stood on both sides, solemn and dignified.

On the left side are Kakashi Hatake and other jonin and the village's top elites.

On the right side are the young ninjas who symbolize hope and the future.

In the distance, many civilians spontaneously came to the funeral and looked towards the mourning hall with the same sorrowful look.

Kakashi, Might Guy, Asuma, Kurenai Yuhi, and Uchiha Sasuke were standing at the front of the team on the left.

Everyone pursed their lips tightly, lowered their heads, looked sad, and said nothing.

In the right team, at the front, Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but started crying loudly.

Behind him, Iruka looked reluctant and gently placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder.

Mitomon En said something to the crowd with a serious look on his face.

Then the crowd began to move.

Uchiha Sasuke was the first to step forward, picked up a white daisy, and gently placed it on the table in front of the portrait.

In that portrait, there is the fifth Hokage, Gama Sage, and Jiraiya.

A bright smile.

Chapter 318: Finding a Springboard for Kakuzu

The sky was as dark as ink, gloomy and dim.

Dark clouds slowly rolled in over the funeral, but no rain came.

Tsunade, dressed in black, stood beside the coffin, her pale lips trembling slightly.

Originally, she had secretly made up her mind that she would not drink any more alcohol on this important day.

But before leaving, she couldn't help but pour herself a glass.

Perhaps, only the anesthesia of alcohol can enable her to survive this last day.

".The passing of the Fifth Hokage, Master Jiraiya, is not only a huge loss to our Land of Fire, but also an irreparable regret for the entire Ninja World."

Next to my ear, Mito Kado En's boring voice was still repeating monotonously.

Tsunade's body was shaking a little.

Although she was already at the scene, Tsunade still felt that everything before her was so unreal.

It seemed as if this was a horrible nightmare that she couldn't wake up from, and she wanted to escape several times.

But looking behind him, he saw Jiraiya's body lying in the coffin.

Tsunade finally resisted the urge.

Just hang in there.

Hang on

Tsunade no longer had any tears.

Her fingers were clenched so tightly that her nails dug into the flesh, leaving a row of tiny crescents of teeth.

That day, I learned the news of Jiraiya's death.

Tsunade rushed to the scene of the Hokage's residence as soon as possible.

At that time, Jiraiya was already slumped over the desk in the study.

On the side, there are always high piles of document scrolls.

By the time Tsunade arrived, Jiraiya had already lost all vital signs.

No trauma, no poisoning, no disease.

It can be said that it perfectly meets the basic characteristics of all sudden deaths.

The death notice was issued by Tsunade herself.

Everyone in the village felt as surprised as Tsunade about this accident.

However, no matter how strange things are, there will always be smart people who come out and give their explanations.

Some people say that Lord Jiraiya's body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex.

Although he looks strong, he actually has problems inside.

Some people also say that Jiraiya was exhausted to death by the heavy government affairs.

After all, the documents that can never be processed are the biggest proof.

In addition, there is a rather romantic saying among the ninjas of Konoha.

They say that when a free bird is locked in the golden cage of power.

Even with all the glory, birds will still lose their lives very quickly.

Maybe the bird itself doesn't know.

But life will express its infinite desire for the sky and soaring through such extreme way as "death".

".Our allies from other countries have gone through great pains and traveled thousands of miles just to remember the Fifth Hokage with us at this final moment.

"On behalf of the Hidden Leaf Village, please allow me to express my deepest gratitude and respect to all of you who have come from afar."

As Mito Kado En read the text without any emotion, behind the mourning hall, under the guidance of the Konoha ninja, Terumi Mei led the remnants of the Hidden Mist Village and slowly walked to the front of the stage.

With solemn and heavy expressions, they offered their white flowers to the deceased one by one.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at several people silently, most of whom were old friends he was very familiar with.

Mei Terumi, Ao, Gonbei, Ao, and the rest of the top Kirigakure Anbu fighters.

Well?

Kakuzu, didn't you come along?

Uchiha Sasuke's mind moved, and he couldn't help but recall what happened a month ago.
