Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

He tried his best to control his voice, but he couldn't stop sobbing.

"Waaaaaah..."

Rei Amamiya reached out his hand to Konohamaru.

Konohamaru raised his tear-streaked face and looked at Rei Amamiya with a look of dependence in his eyes.

Rei Amamiya handles government affairs with Hiruzen Sarutobi every day, and Konohamaru is very familiar with him.

Konohamaru used to prefer the gentle and fun-loving Amamiya to his boring grandfather.

Grandpa is dead now...

He no longer disliked his grandfather.

Konohamaru grasped Rei Amamiya's hand and hugged her legs.

Rei Amamiya looked down at Konohamaru's frizzy hair.

They're pushing their luck!

He only let Konohamaru hold his hand; he didn't let Konohamaru hug his legs.

In front of everyone, Rei Amamiya couldn't possibly push Konohamaru away.

He preferred to hold Konohamaru in his arms rather than have Konohamaru hug his legs.

Rei Amamiya picked up Konohamaru.

Konohamaru buried his head in the crook of his neck, tears mingling with rain, wetting Rei Amamiya's shoulders.

Behind Rei Amamiya, countless ninjas dressed in black kimonos stood in neat rows.

The rain gradually intensified, washing over Hiruzen Sarutobi's coffin and portrait in front of Rei Amamiya's eyes.

White chrysanthemums surrounded his coffin and portrait.

In his memorial photo, he had a kind smile on his face.

All the ninjas who were supposed to come from the village had arrived, including Sakura and Sasuke who were originally at the hospital, but Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Muzan were nowhere to be seen.

In the rain, not a single ninja held an umbrella.

The Konoha genin, each holding a chrysanthemum, stepped forward one by one to offer flowers to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Naruto's messy hair was unusually neatly combed today, and the smile on his face had disappeared, replaced by a heavy and sorrowful expression.

He clutched the chrysanthemum in his hand, his mind filled with images of his time with the Hokage.

Sakura's eyes were red and swollen, and Yamanaka Ino, who was beside her, gently patted Sakura's trembling shoulder to comfort her.

The open space in front of the memorial monument.

Kakashi stood there, his gaze sweeping over the names on the memorial stone.

Many more people have been added to the list.

The familiar name pierced his eyes like a knife.

Kakashi reached out and pressed his hand against the headband above his eyes.

The cool metal was wet from the rain, and Obito's Sharingan beneath his forehead protector felt slightly warm.

It burned his eye sockets.

Kakashi caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.

Muzan's gaze swept across the screen.

Which skill should we fuse and upgrade this time?

He has two more chances to upgrade his skills through fusion.

He planned to save one more chance for skill fusion upgrade, just in case.

He can upgrade one more time!

Muzan saw a pair of blue ninja shoes and stopped in his tracks, looking at Kakashi who was blocking his way.

"Kakashi?"

A look of confusion appeared in Muzan's eyes.

Why is he here instead of attending Hiruzen Sarutobi's funeral?

"Muzan," Kakashi knelt down in front of Muzan and asked, "Why didn't you go to the Hokage's funeral?"

Muzan hadn't even asked him yet, but he was already asking himself.

He's not Rei Amamiya; he doesn't need to cultivate a good image in Konoha.

Why didn't you attend the Hokage's funeral?

Muzan countered with a question.

"There are too many people at the funeral. You can also pay your respects to the Hokage at the memorial stone."

Kakashi pointed to the memorial stone not far away.

A tribute to the Hokage?

Muzan looked away from the memorial tablet. He figured Kakashi must have gone to pay respects to his best friend.

"I'm the same as you."

"Muzan said."

Kakashi paused, his dark eyes fixed intently on Muzan.

As he grew older, Muzan's face became more and more like Rei Amamiya's.

Except for the color of her pupils, she is almost identical to Rei Amamiya.

However, Muzan and Rei Amamiya's eyes were completely different.

"Muzan, do you know who your father is?"

Kakashi couldn't help but blurt out the question when he recalled what Rei Amamiya had said yesterday.

Muzan looked at Kakashi as if he were an idiot, and smiled: "I have no father."

Everyone has a father.

Kakashi felt he had really lost his mind.

How could Zero's anomaly be related to Muzan?

"I don't need a father."

Wu Can smiled and said, word by word.

Seeing Muzan's smile, Kakashi felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.

In just a moment, the strange smile that Kakashi found so odd vanished from Muzan's face, as if it were Kakashi's hallucination.

Kakashi took a breath and reached his hand toward Muzan's head, but Muzan dodged it.

"It's alright, Muzan really doesn't need a father."

Kakashi offered a weak attempt at comfort.

His words today were indeed a bit too much for Muzan.

Muzan silently bypassed Kakashi and continued walking forward.

Kakashi watched his retreating figure, frowned, and then walked off in one direction.

……

Jiraiya, dressed in a black training uniform, stood in front of a wooden stake, his calloused hands stroking it.

As faded memories surfaced in his mind, a faint smile involuntarily appeared on Jiraiya's face.

He leaned against the wooden stake, arms crossed, looking at the training ground filled with memories.

"Kakashi?"

Jiraiya turned to look at Kakashi, who had appeared behind him.

Kakashi walked over to Jiraiya and reached out to catch the last raindrop falling from the sky: "The rain has stopped."

Jiraiya looked up and realized that the rain had stopped sometime earlier.

"Lord Jiraiya is going to leave the village to go find someone, right?"

Kakashi asked.

Jiraiya nodded, then, as if remembering something, said to Kakashi, "I'll take Naruto with me and let you know."

Kakashi looked at Jiraiya and said seriously, "Let's bring Muzan along too!"

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Why?"

Muzan's talent doesn't need his guidance; it's more appropriate for him to stay by Rei Amamiya's side.

"I think..."

Kakashi took a deep breath. "Muzan is acting a bit strange."

"What do you mean?"

Jiraiya frowned. Muzan is Amamiya Rei's bloodline, so what's so strange about that?

He was just a little mischievous.

"He doesn't seem like Zero's child..."

Kakashi's eyes told him that Muzan was Rei Amamiya's child, but his soul denied it.

From the moment he first met Muzan, he could feel his subconscious aversion to him.

There's definitely something strange about Muzan!

After Kakashi finished speaking, he noticed that Jiraiya was looking at him with pity in his eyes.

"It's time to accept reality, Kakashi..."

Jiraiya patted Kakashi on the shoulder.

Kakashi: "..."

Chapter 445 Tobirama Senju's reputation is ruined!

"I've given you such an obvious hint, Kakashi should be starting to suspect something, right?"

Muzan had no idea.

He didn't ask much of Kakashi; he only needed to plant a seed of doubt in his heart, and when the time was right, it would naturally take root, sprout, and grow into a towering tree.

Muzan walked into a food store and began a large-scale purchase.

He needs to make sure he can always get food out to feed his piglets.

This is the crucial period for the piglets to gain weight.

Only with a healthy body can one have a lot of chakra.

Having completed his procurement task, Muzan had barely stepped out of the food store when a tall figure blocked his path.

He lifted his eyelids and glanced upwards at Jiraiya.

"I have a task for you now!"

Jiraiya was so angry at Muzan's attitude that the veins on his forehead throbbed.

Muzan lazily hugged the large loaf of bread in his arms: "What mission?"

"Ahem," Jiraiya cleared his throat, "Come with me and leave the village to find someone!"

Jiraiya thought of Naruto and added, "Naruto is also traveling with us."

"Eating Tsunade? That's a good job," Muzan nodded without hesitation. "Okay."

Although this trip will involve encountering Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki, being able to absorb Tsunade's chakra is still worthwhile.
