Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird

Chapter 73 Impossible, absolutely impossible!
The third generation's speech was not very long, but it also described Lu and Daisy's lifetime achievements and contributions to Konoha.

Mourning for the deceased, expectations for the future, and comfort for the living.

After that, he was the first to pray solemnly to the two newly engraved names on the memorial tablet.

Then, one ninja after another whispered in front of the monument.

Most of them presented a white flower.

Uchiha Shisui presented a bouquet of roses and lilies, rested his forehead on the stone tablet, closed his eyes, remained silent for a long time, then stood up and walked aside.

"Senior Lu, I remember you said that if you die, don't give flowers. But, this, you must like it very much."

Hinata Yuzuru took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a lighter, and placed it in front of the monument.

He got it from home - with so many families, there's always someone who smokes.

Looking at the name of Yamanaka Shika on the tombstone, he smiled slightly: "It's also said that we shouldn't call people by their names instead of code names in the Anbu. How cunning."

"I remember you said that quitting smoking was the thing you regretted the most. If you retired in the future, you would definitely start smoking again. Now, you have retired."

"But please forgive me for the romance with Ino. When she grows up, I'm afraid I'll be entangled with other girls. Well, I haven't boasted to you before that I'm very popular."

Hinata Yuzuru chuckled and whispered, putting the cigarette in the corner so as not to disturb others who were giving flowers, and placed the rose in front of the monument, gently sliding his fingers over Daisy's name.

What made him feel complicated was that even on the tombstone, Daisy's full name was not known, only the short word "Daisy".

Of course, maybe, this is her name.

With a sigh, Hinata Yuzuru stood up and stepped aside.

There was not much crying. They were all ninjas. Even Mrs. Yamanaka, who ran a flower shop and enjoyed an ordinary and happy life, grew up in a Yamanaka family that had experienced the hardships of war along with Konoha.

Only Ino, a little girl who was only one year old, was crying. It was probably because of the heavy atmosphere that she couldn't understand.

The ceremony did not last too long. It was officially over after everyone had offered their prayers and said goodbye. The Third Hokage had left long before the initial speech and prayer. After all, he was the Hokage, and if he had to set aside most of the day to hold a ceremony for every ninja sacrificed, then he would have no point in working.

It's a bit cruel, but it's also true.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and even Mrs. Yamanaka did not stay for too long.

Lu has no wife, and Mrs. Yamanaka, as his sister, is the person closest to him.

According to Senior Lu, one must not get married before retiring, lest the child be left without a father, which would be so pitiful.

It’s a pity for Daisy-senpai.

Perhaps, she would rather have the rose been given to her personally by Senior Lu.

Hinata Yuzuru and the silent Uchiha Shisui wandered aimlessly in the village.

A year of continuous missions had made them both accustomed to a life where they had to be alert all the time and fight every once in a while. Now that they suddenly had nothing to do, they didn't know what to do for a moment.

"How's Itachi?"

Hinata Yuzuru took the initiative to find a topic.

"It's not bad. I stay with Sasuke every day, and he looks more and more mature."

"Where's Neji?"

Uchiha Shisui turned his head and smiled.

"He has become a troublesome little kid now, but very cute." Hinata Yuzuru also had a smile on his face.

The two of them wandered into the small park somehow.

Sitting inside, the two of them chatted and talked until they ran out of topics.

Uchiha Shisui looked at the sky blankly for a while, and then suddenly asked softly: "What do you think the future of the Uchiha clan should be like?"

Maybe the timing wasn't right.

But Uchiha Shisui was mentally and physically exhausted at the moment, and even though he kept trying to strengthen himself, he was still very confused in his heart.

Yesterday, after returning to the family, he did not get a good night's sleep like Hinata Yuzuru.

Instead, he was called away by Uchiha Fugaku.

After learning that his most trusted senior had sacrificed himself, Uchiha Fugaku asked him if there had been any changes in his eyes.

He was silent for just a moment because his brain was racing, and Uchiha Fugaku smiled knowingly, stopped talking about it, and changed the subject to talk about other things.

It was a long conversation, and even after it ended, he only slept for two hours last night. Uchiha Fugaku was finally ready to compromise.

But it was not towards Konoha, but faintly revealed to him his intention to lean towards the Uchiha clan.

This meant a lot, and made Uchiha Shisui, who was already in a bad mood, even more confused for a moment, not knowing what to do.

He originally thought that he would think about it slowly and then think about it.

But by some strange coincidence, when he saw Hinata Yuzuru, he poured out his inner troubles.

If we were to ask who he could trust the most in the current Konoha, it would probably be the companion beside him.

Hinata Yuzuru had to answer this question carefully. He pondered for a moment and did not speak easily. Instead, he calmly and quietly organized his words and organized his thoughts.

Rather, it was pointing out a way out for Shisui for the Uchiha clan.

In fact, this is of great importance, important enough to affect the future of Konoha and all the plans he has hidden in his heart.

After repeatedly confirming his purpose and needs in his mind, Hyuga Yuzuru said very calmly: "Do you think, given the current situation in Konoha, if the Uchiha clan suddenly disappears, what impact will it have on the entire ninja world?"

This sentence was beyond Uchiha Shisui's expectations. Hinata Yuzuru's rhetorical question made him think seriously for a moment, and then he slowly shook his head.

"It should only be a matter of time before Kumogakure and Konoha have peace talks. Even if they lose Uchiha Kumogakure, they won't be able to win this battle with all their strength."

"After all, Iwagakure is currently engaged in a small-scale battle with us and Kumogakure at the same time."

Although Iwagakure surrendered.

Well, to be precise, I don’t want to fight.

But it doesn't mean that they have completely quieted down and cowered.

But the losses were too heavy, and they had to pay for their troops, return to their own territory, and start to accumulate strength again.

Strictly speaking, although the fierce fighting in the open has gradually disappeared, secretly, there are still constant frictions with Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village on the border. On one side is the new hatred forged during the three wars between Hidden Cloud and Iwagakure, and on the other side is the old hatred with Konoha. The three parties are fighting each other endlessly, but they are also quite restrained.

No one dares to go to great lengths to start a sudden war with one party - this means that the other party will reap the benefits.

With the current strength of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Konoha, if any two parties fight it out, the remaining one may win all.

Even if the probability is small, you can't bet. No Kage can completely pin their hopes on the other's incompetence. The best option is to recuperate and wait until the younger generation grows up and fresh blood is replenished, and then there will be another ninja war.

At first glance, the Ninja World War seems to be a bad thing for all the big ninja villages. After all, if they cannot win or both sides suffer losses, it will be a waste of manpower.

But in fact, those who suffered the most in the Ninja World War were often the various unknown small ninja villages and the small countries that depended on various countries. After being baptized by the Ninja World War, they were often devastated and in chaos. In order to survive and profit, they had to rely on the ninja villages of various big countries.

This has given rise to a large number of interests, and the people of small countries and small ninja villages have to rely on big countries and large ninja villages in order to survive, and population movement is inevitable.

After all, admiring the strong and hoping to live a stable life are the thoughts of most ordinary people. In this way, as long as the big countries open their mouths a little and the Ninja Village opens their arms a little, they can catch all the talents of the small countries. Over time, the small countries will become smaller. , a big country is bigger and has clear interests.

If you can win, even better! The direct winner is full and full, even if he can only chew a piece of the opponent's meat, it is considered a great success.

Uchiha Shisui may not see it so clearly, but growing up in the process of war for a long time has still cultivated his strategic awareness to a certain extent.

He calmly judged: "Even if Konoha lost the Uchiha, as long as they are willing to give some benefits when signing the treaty, the Hidden Cloud Village will not be greedy and continue to expand the conflict. After all, once the fish are dead and the net is broken, it will be the Iwagakure that benefits. Given the relationship between the Hidden Cloud Village and the Iwagakure, they will definitely not do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit themselves."

"Then how much do you think Konoha will have to pay to make up for the loss of the Uchiha clan and reach a peace treaty?"

Hinata Yuzuru asked again, but Uchiha Shisui was in trouble.

Hinata Yuzuru pushed up his glasses and said lightly: "In my opinion, this price won't be too high."

"Well, after all, even if Konoha loses Uchiha, it still has many outstanding ninjas." Uchiha Shisui's eyes were dim.

While chatting, it seemed that something was wrong.

The current Uchiha is undoubtedly an important part of Konoha.

But if you think about it carefully, if it were at this moment. Even the entire Uchiha clan, wait!

Uchiha Shisui said in shock: "What do you mean?! Impossible!"

In order to show his seriousness, he even stood up straight, looked at Hinata Yuzuru and shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Konoha will destroy the Uchiha clan! ?

what?
