This day was the day when Hatake Sakumo was buried.
The sky was overcast with drizzle.
No matter how many people in the village secretly cursed Hatake Sakumo before.
But when it was discovered that Hatake Sakumo was dead, a feeling of worry arose in almost everyone's heart.
The heroes who rose to prominence during World War II were none other than the Sannin and the White Fang of Konoha.
Tsunade left Konoha, Jiraiya disappeared, and only Orochimaru was left among the Sannin.
And now Konoha White Fang is dead.
A big tree that could shelter Konoha from the wind and rain fell, and it fell on the gossip of his own villagers. It was a bit ironic to think about it.
Anyone who has insulted White Fang will now more or less feel a trace of regret in his heart.
Therefore, many people came to attend the funeral today.
Konoha's top brass, ANBU members, clan leaders, and most of the Konoha ninjas who were idle at home were all here.
Sarutobi Hiruzen personally engraved Hatake Sakumo's name on the memorial tablet.
Then everyone who came to attend the funeral gave Hatake Sakumo a bouquet of flowers to express their condolences.
Kakashi knelt in front of the commemorative monument with his eyes blank, his head lowered and silent.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd.
I saw the crowd behind them spreading out on their own.
Holding a black umbrella, Uchiha Tunan walked through the crowd expressionlessly and came to behind Kakashi.
Just like this, he quietly stared at the name on the commemorative monument and remained silent for a long time.
The crowd behind him, especially the ninjas who had fought alongside Hatake Sakumo, all stared at Uchiha Tunan's back with unkind eyes.
"He's a coward, isn't he."
Kakashi's eyes moved slightly, and he recognized the shoes worn by Uchiha Tunan, and said sadly.
Uchiha Tunan bowed towards the memorial tablet and said calmly:
"You don't understand Senior White Fang."
When Kakashi heard this, he clenched his hands instantly and growled: "Just because the villagers said a few words, he chose to seek death. What is he not a coward?"
Uchiha Tunan lowered his eyes slightly, glanced at the trembling Kakashi, and immediately threw the black umbrella aside.
He grabbed Kakashi by the collar, shook it hard and said:
"Senior White Fang didn't die because of the villagers' gossip, he took responsibility with his life.
He made the right choice in his heart and was willing to take responsibility for this choice.
He is an excellent ninja and a qualified samurai.
He is a brave man who puts responsibility first and is not afraid of life or death! "
The drizzle of summer makes thin wisps of smoke rise from the earth.
Just like Kakashi's eyes were misty at this moment.
Uchiha Tunan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then let go of Kakashi's collar.
Kakashi's body seemed to become limp and he collapsed on the ground.
Uchiha Tunan leaned down, picked up the black umbrella, patted the dirt on the umbrella with his hand and mocked:
“I doubt that you can carry forward the Hatake style with your skill.
If this is the case, then my knife is too lonely. "
After saying that, Uchiha Tunan turned around, looked at Kakashi sideways and said:
"By the way, I won't come to your house to spar with you anymore.
If you want revenge, you can challenge me at any time.
But if you can't cheer up.
Then you can never be my opponent. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tunan firmly stuck the black umbrella on the ground, just in time to block the rain for Kakashi.
Then strode away.
After Uchiha Tunan's actions, the eyes of the surrounding ninjas and villagers turned from disgust to kindness.
Namikaze Minato came to Kakashi, squatted down and said: "Kakashi, cheer up, White Fang-senpai must hope that you can catch up with Tunan."
Kakashi nodded, then raised his head and murmured: "This bastard..."
There was a hint of choking in the words.
Uchiha Tunan, who left the funeral, went straight back to the clan.
Thinking that the matter was settled, I came to have tea with the great elder when I had nothing to do.
After all, in the whole of Konoha, only in front of the Great Elder, there is no need to disguise yourself too much.
"Dingling bell~"
The warm wind on rainy days keeps blowing the wind chimes under the eaves.
In the spacious living room, Uchiha Tunan and the Great Elder sat on their knees opposite each other, enjoying tea leisurely.
The great elder put the teacup in front of his nose and sniffed it, then said leisurely:
"Now everyone in the village is saying that you killed Hatake Sakumo."
Uchiha Tunan smiled faintly, picked up the tea cup, blew on it, took a sip and said:
"It's okay to give him a ride after getting to know each other."
The great elder chuckled and said, "I just like your character. You don't look like an Uchiha at all."
Uchiha Tunan put down the teacup, picked up the teapot, bowed slightly, and said while adding tea to the great elder:
"If people want to achieve something in this life, they need to break the rules and constantly break through themselves."
The great elder nodded, narrowed his eyes and looked at Uchiha Tunan:
“But there’s one thing I can’t figure out.
There's nothing good to gain from killing White Fang. Not only will you get into a lot of trouble, but you'll also be at odds with Kakashi.
Don't tell me how much you respect him. I don't think he can help you evolve the Sharingan. "
Uchiha Tunan filled himself with tea, put the teapot away, then raised the teacup and said:
"Is White Fang strong?"
"Strong, very strong."
Uchiha Tunan leaned forward slightly, smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "But his surname is not Uchiha, but Sarutobi."
"Hahaha......"
The elder immediately understood what Uchiha Tunan meant and raised his tea cup with a hearty laugh.
Their teacups clinked lightly.
At this moment, a two or three-year-old child ran into the living room along the backyard corridor.
Biting his fingers, he stared at the great elder innocently and shouted:
"grandfather."
"Come, grandpa, hug me."
The elder held the child in his arms with a doting look on his face.
Uchiha Tunan took a sip of tea and asked casually:
"This is your grandson."
The great elder smiled and replied:
"Yes, his parents have been busy with work recently, so they sent him to live with me.
Zhishui, please call Tunansang. "
Shisui's round eyes stared curiously at Uchiha Tunan, and sweetly shouted: "Tuna-san~"
Uchiha Tunan smiled slightly and said, "Shisui is very cute."
The great elder's eyes were already smiling.
"Children are like this. When he grows up, he will probably be as unlovable as other Uchihas."
"No, Shisui will definitely be a gentle child in the future. I've always judged people very accurately."
Uchiha Tunan shook his head and said, then took out his wallet, counted eight hundred taels, put it into the small red envelope that was always ready and handed it to Uchiha Shisui.
"Here, this is the pocket money my brother gave you."
Uchiha Shisui stared at the red envelope with a blank expression, then raised his head to look at the elder.
The great elder smiled and pursed his lips and said:
"Take it."
Uchiha Shisui then stretched out his plump little hand and took the red envelope.
"Thank you Tunansang."
Uchiha Tunan rubbed Uchiha Shisui's head lovingly and said:
"I like well-behaved and sensible children the most, and Shisui's talent seems to be very high."
"You don't need to praise him. He's so young, so you can't tell he has any talent."
As the elder spoke, looking at Uchiha Tunan's expression, his heart suddenly twitched, and he thought of something bad.
Quickly put Uchiha Shisui on the ground.
"Shisui, don't stay at home all day, go out and play with your friends for a while."
"Okay~" Uchiha Shisui left the living room obediently and ran into the rain.
Uchiha Tunan pointed to the sky outside with a half-smile.
"It's raining outside..."
The elder coughed lightly and said, "Children like to play in the mud. It rains just right."
Uchiha Tunan nodded in sudden realization, then chuckled slightly, raised the tea cup in his hand and said:
"Today's tea tastes good."
