Reborn Into Naruto World With Tenseigan
Funeral Ceremony
Ding - Ding Ding Ding
As Kuroto passed through a street, he could clearly hear the noise and percussion coming from all directions.
The village of Konoha today has become a huge construction site, it is not a metaphor, nor an exaggerated rhetoric, but just a simple, cheapest, and accurate picture.
Wherever people looked, they would find some sort of construction work was underway, under the direction of the busy villagers, and temporary construction workers towing trolleys transporting all sorts of materials related to construction work clustered on the streets.
It's been three days since the night of the Akatsuki attack.
The pain and suffering still rippled in the hearts of the people, but the rebuilding of the village was the most urgent task and could not be postponed in any way. As the largest shinobi village among the five great powers, Konoha clearly has its own heritage, so after the ruins are cleared and the remains are found and removed, the vigorous village reconstruction project begins smoothly.
And while Konoha began its construction, the other four Kage who had secretly arrived in Konoha to participate in the Five Kage Conference, were, gather all their subordinates and rush back to their village as they also enjoy the safety of their village. . So, as soon as they recovered from their injuries under Tsunade-hime's care, they did not delay even an hour and quietly returned using the fastest route.
One thing to note is that since experiencing everything that happened three days ago, the Five Great Shinobi Villages have reached an agreement, and unanimously declared the Akatsuki Organization as the enemy of the entire world. Therefore, now the Akatsuki Organization is named as the most evil organization****** that must be destroyed by all means because it threatens the peace of the shinobi world.
This is not only because Akatsuki managed to almost succeed in their outrageous attack on Konoha, but it was also because many people saw the leader of the Akatsuki Organization using a statue of Gedo Mazo to extract and absorb the Tailed Monster from Killer Bee and Karatachi Yagura.
Nagato's actions reveal that Akatsuki's goal of stealing all the tailed monsters is not just pure, they may have a method to use all the stolen tailed monsters perfectly.
So, their danger level had been raised by several more levels.
In addition, the act of stealing tailed monsters had also touched the bottom line of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, and even Iwagakure who used to cooperate with the Akatsuki Organization was unwilling to tolerate such actions.
After all, the tailed monster was a great shinobi village strategy weapon that was considered a trump card to use as a last resort. The main reason why Kumogakure is considered a very powerful village and even has the guts to provoke Konoha is because the Kumogakure residents have mastered a way to use the tailed monsters perfectly and by doing that Jinchuriki has reached the Kage's level of strength.
It might not even be an exaggeration to say that one of the reasons why the Five Great Shinobi Villages were called the Five Great Shinobi Villages was because they had the power of tailed monsters in their hands.
And Akatsuki has been blatantly pointing out that they have ambitions to steal the tailed monster, this goal alone makes them enemies of the five great shinobi villages?
Previously, although it was rumored that Akatsuki wanted to steal all the nine-tailed monsters, the rumors were just rumors and had no basis. Especially if Akatsuki manages to capture Jinchuriki Nibi, the five great villages are still not so serious about Akatsuki's goals.
After all, tailed monsters were not only weapons of mass destruction that could be used against enemies, they were also time bombs that could explode at any time and their own village, he said, and unless someone who mastered how to use that power, they would do so. keep ticking the time bomb that must remain sealed.
It was actually the reason why even the five great Shinobi Villages that had possessed tailed monsters for decades did not dare to openly claim that they had mastered the power of tailed monsters perfectly.
Thus, the five Kages did not believe that the Akatsuki Organization had the means to use the power of tailed monsters perfectly.
But three days ago, they all saw the ability of the Wood Sculpture controlled by Nagato.
The five Kages themselves watched and were surprised to find that the Wood Sculpture controlled by the leader of the Akatsuki Organization could actually absorb the Charka monster out of Jinchuriki's body. This action clarified that the Akatsuki Organization not only had ammunition to collect tailed monsters but also had the ability to use such tailed monsters.
In the eyes of the fifth Kage, such a thing was simply too terrifying!
Therefore, they unanimously declared the Akatsuki Organization an enemy of Humanity.
After all, besides, after the cataclysmic destruction that Konoha suffered at the hands of Akatsuki, the fourth Kage, including Tsuchikage have expressed their intention to Sandaime Hokage that they will try to provide the necessary assistance in their capacity to help rebuild the village.
There was no deception in their words, and the four Kages really wanted to help Konoha this time.
The reason was also very simple, they knew very well that their village would be relatively safe only if Konoha, the figure head of the five great villages stood at the forefront in the upcoming war against the Akatsuki Organization.
The four Kage were worried that if Konoha was not at the forefront, the next village to be baptized by Super Shinra Tensei Nagato would most likely be their village.
Therefore, they want to do what they can to push Konoha forward to keep their village safe.
“Haaaawww..”
Right now, Hayate who was walking next to Kuroto was exhausted.
Kuroto glanced at Hayate from the corner of her eyes and noticed that the already sick and pale Hayate looked even more tired and pale, with deep under-eye markings and sunken eye basins, it was as if he was only a few steps away from death.
Due to the large number of fatalities and injuries resulting in a shortage of manpower, Tim-Ro Kuroto had to carry out the missions of the three Anbu Teams, therefore, the, His Ro-team has not rested in the last three years and is very tired.
Kuroto said lightly, "Everyone, wait a little while longer, then we have to hold a funeral ceremony, after which Team-Ro will be given half a day off..."
Hayate rubbed his eyes, and said with a small laugh, “Don't worry captain, we can still survive...The village is in such a state, how can we be lazy?”.
Yugao nodded in agreement, "That's right."
Kurenai simply nodded silently and did not say anything special. Although, one could see that his expression was slightly disturbed as if he was thinking out loud(?), or perhaps worried(?).
Kuroto slightly nodded.
Regarding Kurenai's deep-thinking face, Kuroto didn't think too much, as almost all of the Shinobi in the village had serious and serious expressions on their faces.
In the afternoon, the official funeral service began.
In the ups and downs of the past three days, the exact number of victims and the missing shinobi, as well as the villagers, have been counted.
Just as previously thought, the number of villagers who died or disappeared last night reached around a thousand, and most of these deaths were villagers who fell prey to the evil chakra of the Happiness Box.
The number of Konoha Shinobi who died or disappeared also reached close to a thousand.
In the last statistical analysis, all those considered 'lost' are also considered dead. The reason why they are marked as 'lost' is because their bodies have not been found, or if their bodies are found, they cannot be known.
The Konoha Cemetery.
Wearing a set of Black Clothes, Kuroto leads Tim-Ro to attend the Funeral Ceremony.
Today, thousands of Konoha Shinobi have been surrounded in front of graves, expressing their grief over the loss of their loved ones.
Sandaime Hokage quietly stood in front of the Memorial Stone and looked at the new names written on it with a sad expression.
Among the dead this time, the highest status was that of Konoha Advisor Homura Mitokado from the Council of Elders.
On the attack that night, when contact with the Sandaime Hokage suddenly disappeared, Elder Homura took over Konoha Shinobi and followed the four Kages to launch a surprise attack on the leader of the Akatsuki Organization.
Since he was one of the five leaders in charge, then Homura Mitokado also received a key 'treatment' from the Akatsuki Organization, and it was a pity that he was unable to survive that treatment.
Among the four Kage and Homura elders, only Tsuchikage Ohnoki, who attacked from a relatively safe distance remained safe.
While the other four suffered greatly, and of course Elder Homura was no exception.
In fact, it could be said that Elder Homura suffered the most.
Godaime Kazekage can use the Scorch Release to mummify his enemy and defend himself.
The Yondaime Raikage has a Lightning Chakra Mode that gives it speed and power.
Yondaime Mizukage being the perfect Jinchuriki has Sanbi's attack and defense.
Therefore, the elder Homura, who did not possess the Kekkei Genkai, or the Special Jutsu, or the tailed monster had bad luck because his name was inscribed on the Memorial Stone.
And honestly, this is not surprising.
The strength of both Elder Advisor Homura and Koharu was originally weaker compared to Sandaime Hokage and Shimura Danzo. And after the end of the Second and Third Great Shinobi Wars, the two were transformed into high-authority civilians.
Coupled with their growing old age which brought about a physical decline as well as chakra reserve, their strength was no longer what it used to be. And, obviously, such people could not defend against people like members of the Akatsuki Organization.
