Konoha: This Uchiha is not right

The best way to eliminate such numbness is to hold a memorial service, through which the living can better express their emotions.

At the same time, we can also pay tribute to those who have passed away and remember that it is because of their contributions that we have the peace we have today.

Such mourning is also telling everyone in the village that this is Konoha's recognition of the sacrifices made by these ninjas, and Konoha will always remember them.

Uchiha Zong was wearing a black kimono and standing in the first row of the Uchiha clan. Today, the elders of the Uchiha clan and all those who participated in the war participated.

Looking at the crowd around him and the densely packed names on the monument, Uchiha Zong couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In fact, he also knew that he was a lucky man. He was lucky not only because he survived, but also because he received implicit care from Orochimaru when he was in the Land of Whirlpools.

Even though Orochimaru's intentions were not pure at that time, the fact was that he was taken care of, and he would not deny that.

Boom——

There was a rumble of thunder in the sky. Today's weather was very gloomy. The rain fell from the sky and fell on everyone.

After presenting the flowers, everyone stood there in tacit silence.

No one told the life story of the deceased, and no one was crying. It was very quiet, without a single sound.

There was only the sound of dripping rain, as if God was crying for everyone.

Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, each doing their own thing.

Because everyone knows that no matter what you say now, it is useless. From today onwards, some people's names will only be a sad word.

However, their stories will become the past that others will recall, and their names will become words with important meanings on memorial tablets.

"I really hope that there will be no more wars in the future." Shisui stood beside Uchiha Zong and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at everything in front of him.

“Who wouldn’t want that?”

Uchiha Zong shook his head slightly and spoke softly while standing in the rain.

“But the seeds of war were sown from the moment the village was founded.

In the past, ninja wars were only for the benefit of the family, but now wars are fought with the benefit of the village in mind.

The scale of war is larger, the intensity of war is greater, and the purpose of war is more complex.

Do you remember what I told you in the Whirlpool Country? Unless these problems are resolved, the war will never end easily.

All we can do is keep improving ourselves so that others will think twice before they want to wage war against us."

Uchiha Zong stopped talking here, because in his memory, Konoha would be threatened by war in a few years.

Although the Third Hokage's handling of that incident did avoid war, it also brought shame to Konoha.

This blow to Konoha's credibility has left it impossible to tell how much of its mission share Konoha has lost.

Boom——

The thunder continued and the rain continued to fall, and Konoha's memorial service ended successfully in the rain.

But just as Uchiha Zong was about to leave, he suddenly saw Orochimaru walking towards him, which made him stop.

"You guys go back first, Lord Hokage should be looking for me." Uchiha Mune said to Shisui who was standing beside him.

"Yes, clan leader." Shisui nodded, then he held Itachi's hand and nodded to Uchiha Setsuna and others.

Uchiha Mune turned and walked towards Orochimaru, and the two of them soon walked side by side, and then headed towards a less crowded place.

"Jiraiya is back." Orochimaru said softly in the rain, "He arrived in Konoha last night."

"This is good news." Uchiha Zong nodded after hearing this: "He won't leave casually this time, right?"

"Probably not." Orochimaru said with a smile, "It's just a headache that this guy probably doesn't want to do any job."

Orochimaru was too familiar with his old friend, but based on this familiarity he knew very well that Jiraiya was not really suitable for any public office.

It’s not that this guy is not smart, nor that he is irresponsible, but that he simply doesn’t have the mind to focus on this.

But Jiraiya is really capable and powerful, and such a person is a headache for Orochimaru.

If he is asked not to do anything, Orochimaru will feel it is a pity. If he is asked to do something, Orochimaru will also feel it is a pity.

"Indeed, that's his character, otherwise he might be the Hokage's greatest rival."

Uchiha Zong nodded, then he looked at Orochimaru and said with a smile.

"Yes."

Orochimaru did not shy away from saying this because it was the truth, but he was also full of confidence.

"But he is just an opponent. I have never lost to him since I was a child, and this time will be no exception. Besides, I still have Zong Jun to help me, right?"

"Perhaps at that time, Lord Orochimaru would not choose Uchiha in order to gain the trust of the Third Hokage."

Uchiha Zong also laughed, but then he shook his head and spoke.

"Actually, I have a suggestion. Why don't we let Jiraiya be the leader of the ninja squad?"

"Leader of the Jonin Squad?" When Orochimaru heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "Is that so? It's really a good choice!"

The leader of the Jonin squad is a very special position in Konoha. It does not have any real power, but it is extremely important.

Because the person who usually holds this position is the highest-ranking candidate for Hokage!

Orochimaru once served as the leader of the Jonin Squad, and in the original work, Minato Namikaze also seemed to have served as the leader.

Does it mean that you will definitely become Hokage just because you have a high ranking?

Obviously not, at least Jiraiya would not choose to do it, so letting Jiraiya be the leader of the jonin squad is a good choice.

What's more, the leader of the jonin squad must have sufficient status and sufficient strength.

Jiraiya completely met these two requirements, and because he was the captain of the jonin squad, he might even restrain his behavior a little.

In this way, perhaps a lot of troubles can be solved.

As for the fact that this guy is still so reckless at that time, it is actually easy to deal with. Just let him organize more jonin meetings and force this guy to be busy.

"It seems that I am obsessed with using his abilities. Although the jonin squad leader does not have a fixed task, this will allow him to do more things."

Orochimaru looked around and saw that only Uchiha Zong was around, and he couldn't help but lick his lips with his tongue.

Since becoming Hokage, Orochimaru has started to pay attention to his image, and he will no longer do such things in front of other people.

However, in front of people he is familiar with, with whom he has a very good relationship, and whom he trusts very much, he will still do some of his usual actions.

"By the way, Zong-kun, I have something else to tell you. Sarutobi Hiruzen has already started a large-scale reinforcement of personnel at the Root."

"Oh?" Uchiha Zong was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Who will provide him with personnel at this time?"

"It's not someone else, it's the Sarutobi clan." Orochimaru shook his head slightly: "There are also members of the Utatane and Mitomon clansmen. Although their quality may not be as good as before, their strength should not be underestimated."

This news really surprised Uchiha Zong, but besides being surprised, he felt that it seemed normal.

Because of Danzo's unsustainable overfishing and his crazy exploitation, the Root's reputation has long been ruined.

In addition, Danzo had just been killed, and even the Shimura clan was now basically dead in name only.

I'm afraid there is no family in Konoha that would risk sending talent to the Root, even if the person in charge of the Root is the Sandaime.

As the saying goes, a tall building starts from the ground, but you have to rely on yourself to go to jail or be shot.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only grit his teeth and stamp his feet. If I send my own people in, it will at least make up for the loss of talent, right?

When the third generation was in power, he did have quite a few die-hard fans, so it was not surprising that by piecing together the various elements, the roots were temporarily filled up by him.

"He is really crazy." Uchiha Zong couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this: "It seems that our days will be very exciting in the future."

"Isn't this more interesting?" Orochimaru kept smiling: "Besides, this will make it easier to catch them all!"

"..."

Uchiha Zong glanced at Orochimaru and could only say that he was really worthy of this guy. His style was quite similar to Danzo's. He would kill your whole family at any time.

However, considering that he was also a "crush bones and scatter ashes" type of player, he no longer worried about it.

"By the way, Lord Orochimaru, I may have to go out in a few days." Uchiha Zong simply changed the subject.

"Oh?" Orochimaru asked curiously, "What's the matter? Do you need Zongjun to help?"

"I plan to find a summoning beast." Uchiha Zong smiled: "And I also have a target, I plan to go over and see the specific situation."

"Is that so? Then go early and come back early." Orochimaru said indifferently: "Are you sure you don't need the snakes from the Earth Dragon Cave?"

"Yes, but I can't only sign one summoning beast." Uchiha Zong thought about it, and then said seriously: "I plan to see if I can touch the magic of the Earth Dragon Cave after I become more normal."

……

Boom——

The heavy rain was still falling, and the moonlight had already covered the earth, but Kakashi was still standing in the rain.

He quietly looked at the two tombstones standing side by side in front of him, then reached out and gently wiped the rain-stained photos on the tombstones.

But unfortunately, just after he wiped it, raindrops fell on it again.

Finally, Kakashi withdrew his hand, took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke.

"Rin, Obito, I'm sorry I can't come visit you during this period. I have joined the Anbu now.

I will be very busy during this period, but this busyness and danger make me feel that maybe I am really not far from meeting you."

Having said that, Kakashi turned around and walked straight outside.

"I hope that the next time we meet, we will be reunited in the Pure Land..."

In the rain, Kakashi's figure gradually disappeared, and when he completely disappeared in the cemetery, the space suddenly became distorted.

Obito looked at Kakashi's leaving path indifferently. After a long time, he turned his head to look at Lin's tombstone.

But when he turned around, he was whispering in a low voice -

"We will be reunited, reunited in the perfect world I have created..."

……

Chapter 113 Psychic

After the memorial service, Uchiha Zong and his Anbu returned to their former peace.

However, the tasks of the Anbu are still very heavy. Whether it is finding those hidden spies or monitoring those enemies who have been discovered, these require manpower and material resources.

In fact, sometimes when a spy is discovered, it is not necessary to catch him immediately. He can even be used to his advantage.

For example, passing on some false information to confuse the enemy. This kind of thing was done by the Anbu in the past, and now the Uchiha clan has to deal with it as well.

Although these tasks were not difficult, they were still somewhat troublesome. Fortunately, Uchiha Zong had already handed the tasks to Namikaze Minato, and he was happy to have some free time.

Minato Namikaze is worthy of being the person who served as Hokage in the original work. Although he has not yet fully demonstrated his talents, he does have talent in this area anyway.

And with the division of the Security Department, Konoha had three more departments. When his father Uchiha Shin'i got the Security Department, he immediately applied for the deputy director without waiting for others to react.

Such an application greatly alleviated the dissatisfaction of other families towards the Uchiha clan's "eating a lot of cake", and also gave the Uchiha clan a chance to successfully propose the deputy minister plan of the Anbu.

In the past, other families knew that the Guard Department had great power, but after the Uchiha completed the "urban management plus prison guard" function, it no longer attracted much attention.

This time Uchiha got the position of Anbu Minister, which did make many people nervous for a while, but when they saw that the Guard Department had not taken any action, everyone felt relieved.

However, the Guard Department is now divided into three parts, and Uchiha directly took away the Security Department that holds the armed power. How can others be happy?

Even though this armed force is subject to huge restrictions and can only be activated during wartime and defined "emergency moments", it is still an armed force!

In everyone's eyes, this is an act of eating alone, which is also the most hated thing. However, when a "deputy minister" proposed it, everyone became quiet.

The deputy minister has similar powers to a real minister, but does not have the final say, so he or she still has to apply to the minister after making a decision.

But when the minister is away, the deputy minister automatically assumes the minister's power until the minister returns.

Such power is really exciting, especially since this approach not only relieves the pressure on the minister, but also divides the cake!

Besides, Uchiha also made it clear that he would recruit all interested ninjas in the village. What does this mean?

This shows that the Uchiha family is a good family to get along with!

Most importantly, the deputy minister adhered to the principle of each department negotiating among themselves, there was no such thing as coercion, and the Hokage's consent was also required, which made everyone feel more at ease.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Anbu also got the position of deputy minister under the "application" of Uchiha Zong, and now Namikaze Minato has also been pushed into this position.

"I worked so hard to become a minister. If I still have to do these trivial things, then I have been a minister for nothing."

Uchiha Zong felt at ease. What he had to do now was to control the general direction of important matters, and leave the rest to Namikaze Minato and the five captains.
