In Shimura Danzo's view, this was just a casual move.

Anyway, everyone present was Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple and disciple. No matter what he did or how pleasing his words were, these people could not possibly be on his side, and his words would not affect his future competition for the Hokage position.

But as long as he brings this up, if one day the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki goes berserk, causing Konoha to be pressured by other ninja villages in a rush, then there will be a lot to talk about, and Hiruzen Sarutobi will bear a great responsibility.

What Shimura Danzo didn't expect was that not only Hiruzen Sarutobi's apprentices and teammates were present, but also his teacher, who was silently watching him with extremely dissatisfied eyes!

Hiruzen Sarutobi composed himself, surveyed the crowd, and said in a deep voice:

"All Konoha ninjas must attend Lord Mito's funeral, including the children from the Ninja Academy!"

"We Konoha ninja rely on the strength of each and every one of us. Although the passing of Lord Mito is incredibly painful, as long as we are all here, there is nothing to fear!"

"If other hidden villages make a move, we'll respond. If they try to start a war, then we'll fight!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have been provoked by Danzo Shimura, and his words became more intense.

Aokiji silently watched Hiruzen Sarutobi at this moment, feeling a mix of emotions.

Just watching this scene, it's really hard for Qing Shui to connect the current Hiruzen Sarutobi with the future Hokage who is subservient to Kumogakure and submits to Hyuga Hizashi.

Perhaps it was because of Shimura Danzo's provocation...

Perhaps it's because time and casualties have worn down Hiruzen Sarutobi's fighting spirit...

But at least at this moment, Tobirama Senju's gaze toward Hiruzen Sarutobi had become one of appreciation.

Jiraiya, Tsunade, Minato Namikaze, and the others had resolute eyes, seemingly agreeing with Hiruzen Sarutobi's words.

Kushina looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi with gratitude, and a strange light flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.

Regardless, Hiruzen Sarutobi's words were very inspiring.

"Tsunade, Kushina, Aomizu, you stay behind. Lady Mito's will contains other instructions..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand: "The rest of you can go now."

Danzo Shimura snorted coldly, turned around without hesitation, and was the first to leave.

Minato Namikaze glanced at Kushina with concern, but since Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't mention him, he could only leave first.

After everyone else left.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said softly, "When Lady Mito was dying, she specifically asked the four of us to carry her coffin so that she could take one last look at Konoha."

"As for the scope, I define it as within the barrier left by Lady Mito."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kushina:

"Kushina, you must try your best to control your emotions. This is your first appearance as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and it involves many important matters..."

"Whether inside or outside the village, your performance will mean a lot."

Kushina nodded earnestly: "I will do it, Third Hokage!"

But at this moment, inside Kushina's body, the Nine-Tails, pierced by chains and bound by shackles, sneered coldly:

"What can you do? You can't do anything..."

"In your new vessel, I can sense confusion, fear, and bewilderment..."

"You feel even more constrained than I do!"

Kushina forcibly suppressed the Nine-Tails surging within her and listened with difficulty to Hiruzen Sarutobi's next instructions.

Aoshui keenly sensed something was amiss and patted Kushina on the shoulder:

"Kushina-senpai, don't worry, everyone will help you. Just like Uncle Hiruzen said, you're not alone..."

Kushina nodded gratefully, but the Nine-Tails within her reacted even more violently, shedding its previous gloomy and confident demeanor and roaring hysterically:

"Get away! Get away!"

"If you come any closer to that brat, I'll kill you, you lowly vessel!"

Kushina's mood improved considerably, and she softly said to Kurama, "It seems you also harbor fear within you..."

"Although I don't understand why you're so afraid of Qing Shui, I can tell you a secret. Do you want to hear it?"

Nine-Tails narrowed its eyes: "Speak your mind!"

"It seems that Lady Mito once wanted Aomizu to be your vessel, but in the end, for some reason, she chose me instead..."

Kushina, watching the Nine-Tails' face gradually darken, threatened with a smile, "If I die, your next Jinchūriki will probably be Aoshui..."

"So, if you don't want to change containers, why don't you just get along with me?"

Nine-Tailed Fox's expression froze, and it began to pant heavily before roaring sharply:

No one can threaten me!

"Container, you've angered me!"

The Nine-Tails' eyes were filled with madness.

Although he saw the shadow of Uchiha Madara in Qing Shui's eyes and smile, this was only a guess.

But now, Kushina, the lowly vessel in its eyes, has dared to threaten it with blue water!

Does it really think it's afraid of green water?

Recalling the humiliation of the past, the Nine-Tailed Fox became even more frenzied.

It has decided that on the day of Mito Uzumaki's funeral, it will break through Kushina's defenses, control the container to kill Aozumi, smash everything, and carry out a thorough revenge against Konoha!

First, send 4600!

I'll make it up to you when I get home from get off work! (Sigh)

Chapter 109 Qingshui Carrying the Coffin, Preparations Made for Qingshui by the Third Mizuto

The final grand gift!

Hokage Building.

Konoha Square.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, dressed in black, stood solemnly on the main stage.

All the Konoha ninjas had gathered in front of him.

The Sarutobi clan, the Yamanaka clan, the Akimichi clan, the Nara clan, the Aburame clan, the Inuzuka clan, the Hyuga clan…

All sorts of ordinary ninjas and ninja academy students...

So everyone was dressed in plain black clothes, holding a bouquet of white flowers, and solemnly looked at Mito Uzumaki's coffin.

Among the various powerful clans, only the adult ninjas of the Uchiha clan stood on the perimeter, working together with the security department and the ANBU to ensure security and maintain order at the scene.

Fugaku Uchiha, dressed in black, looked intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi on the distant high platform and shook his head.

Is this considered suppression?

It's hard to say...

The rest of the Uchiha clan members were allowed to enter, but all the security personnel were required to perform duties, and even he, the clan head, was not permitted to participate after applying...

This is somewhat intriguing.

Uchiha Setsuna glanced around, then said with a cold laugh, "What a deep scheme..."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was clear enough for the Uchiha members of the Anbu and Security Department nearby to hear clearly.

Surprisingly, only a portion of the Uchiha clan members showed dissatisfaction, while the clansmen, led by the Eighth Hokage, displayed an expectant yet tense expression and remained silent.

Uchiha Setsuna frowned. "I've already set the tone, so why are so few people paying attention to him?"

It shouldn't be...

But at that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice came over, interrupting his next words.

"Lord Mito and the First Hokage met during the Warring States period. Supporting each other, they brought peace to the chaotic world and established Konoha..."

"Suppress the Nine-Tails, use the power of the Tailed Beasts to protect my loved ones, and do my best to rid the village of the shadow of war..."

"... "

On the main platform, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly finished reading the eulogy in his hand, then turned to gaze at the black and white photograph of Mito Uzumaki:

"A moment of silence."

Everyone present bowed their heads, bidding a final farewell to the legendary female ninja, Mito Uzumaki.

The other side of the ninja world.

Madara Uchiha also watched this scene in silence.

Although Mito Uzumaki and he were not particularly close, they were acquaintances who had known each other since their youth.

Madara Uchiha felt a strange sadness in his heart.

After Mito Uzumaki died, he no longer had any "peers" and truly became a legend in books and stories, like a symbol. No one would ever see Madara Uchiha as a living person again.
