Two days later.

Frontline combatants are returning one after another.

The first thing was to bury the dead under the leadership of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

In this local war with Kirigakure Village, one-third of the Uchiha clan died.

Others are various auxiliary ninjas and a large number of cannon fodder ninjas.

The bodies of the fallen were covered with white cloth and placed on the lawn.

Relatives came to see them off one after another.

"Father, don't leave!"

"Brother, brother..."

"Rest in peace, I will take good care of your wife."

.......

Heartbreaking cries rang out all around.

Uchiha Tunan tied a white cloth on his head and knelt in front of the bodies of Uchiha Yanbu and Uchiha Nanako, his face silent.

The point of a crying scene is not to cry, but to make others think you are sad from the bottom of their hearts.

Crying at the top of your lungs will not make you stand out.

The sad atmosphere requires plain foreshadowing, which can be supplemented by contrasting expressions or actions when necessary.

I saw Uchiha Tunan placing the cup prepared in advance in front of the bodies of Uchiha Yanbu and Uchiha Nanako.

Then pour sake and tea into the cups respectively.

The tea is very strong, and the sake is the one that smells the most fragrant.

In an instant, the surroundings were filled with the aroma of wine and tea, attracting the attention of many people.

"Father, I have always known that you are the kind of person who is sharp-tongued and has a soft heart.

You have never said a heart-warming word to me, but I know you have paid a lot for me."

Uchiha Tunan looked at the remains of his parents before him, with happy memories in his eyes, and said in a calm and low tone:

"On the day of the ninja school entrance exam, I was very nervous.

You kept a cold face and kept calling me a waste, telling me not to embarrass you or Uchiha."

"Actually, I know that you are more nervous than me, and your palms are all sweaty.

The sun was so bright that day that I was taking an exam in the classroom.

Just stand outside the school and wait."

"When I told you that I passed the exam, you just said coolly.

You drank three bottles of sake that night, and you usually only drink one glass.

You said ninjas should stay awake at all times, but you were drunk that day."

"My grades have been very poor since I went to school. You called me a waste every day when you came home, and then you taught me how to refine chakra and how to throw kunai.

You work very hard every day, but you still have to stay up late with me."

"You told me that ninjas improve their strength in danger, in order to set an example for a useless son like me.

You gave up your stable position in the police force and resolutely chose to go to the front line to fight.

You said that after I come back, if my strength is not that of a crane, you will teach me the Phoenix Immortal Fire."

Having said this, Uchiha Tunan's face filled with a stiff smile, and he said foolishly:

"Now I have not only awakened the three magatama, but also quietly learned the Phoenix Immortal Fire. I just want to wait for you to come back and give you a surprise.

Let you praise me, your child is not a waste."

Speaking of this, Uchiha Tunan's voice was hoarse, as if he was trying his best to endure the grief, but he still kept a smile on his face.

Two lines of clear tears could not stop flowing from the corners of my eyes.

He stretched out his hand, stood up, and began to form seals.

Everyone around turned their attention to Uchiha Tunan.

Uchiha Tunan's hands turned into phantoms and quickly completed the last seal.

"Fire Escape, the art of Phoenix Immortal Fire."

Accompanied by a hoarse shout.

I saw several fire snakes spurting out from Uchiha Tunan's mouth, rushing into the sky, and then gathering and colliding together.

The sudden movement completely diverted the attention of the people around.

After releasing the Phoenix Immortal Fire, Uchiha Tunan dropped his hands weakly and said with a lost look on his face:

"I will never hear you call me trash again, so let me drink with you for the first and last time."

After saying that, Uchiha Tunan raised his head and poured the sake from the bottle into his mouth.

Tears and spilled wine met at the chin and flowed down Uchiha Tunan's neck, soaking most of his shirt.

The people who came to mourn looked moved when they saw this.

Even those who cried heartbreakingly before now feel that they are not that sad compared to Uchiha Tunan.

Uchiha Fugaku stood in front of the mourning crowd.

At this moment, the sound from Uchiha Tunan's side also attracted attention.

"The clan has such a genius, and he also values ​​his family so much.

He should have been trained by the clan, but his heart is drawn to the Hokage lineage."

The more Uchiha Fugaku spoke, the uglier his face became. He was obviously very dissatisfied with the arrangements made by the higher-ups in the clan.

The elder beside him looked at Uchiha Tunan's performance with deep eyes and whispered:

"Don't be fooled by the surface. This little guy's caliber is not that of an ordinary person. I think if he can grow up, he will definitely be able to lead the Uchiha clan to regain the glory of the Warring States Period."

When Uchiha Fugaku heard this, he looked at the great elder in surprise, and then moved his gaze to Uchiha Tunan again, looking at it carefully.

He looked puzzled and said: "But as soon as I came back, I heard people in the clan talking about this little guy, saying that he..."

The great elder smiled slightly, patted Uchiha Fugaku on the shoulder and said: "Fugaku, don't worry about those things, you will know about it later."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded, he still chose to believe the words of the highly respected elder.

The great elder has always judged people very accurately.

Uchiha Tunan hasn't finished her performance yet. After all, both of her parents have died, so she can't be partial to one and only express her emotions towards her father.

Next is the mother, Uchiha Nanako.

"Mother, you always..."

Kakashi and Hatake Sakumo were standing not far away, watching Uchiha Tunan quietly.

"Kakashi, Tunan is a trustworthy companion. You must cherish this bond."

"I know." Kakashi pretended to be nonchalant and replied calmly.

But there was a trace of worry in the eyes looking at Uchiha Tunan.

"Ding, get Kakashi's approval."

Uchiha Tunan, who was speaking his heart out, suddenly paused.

Kakashi... He has a long life, but his strength in the later stage is only average.

Not a good strategy target, a bit useless.

Uchiha Tunan secretly shook his head. In fact, Kakashi was simply tasteless to him.

I don’t know when I will get Hatake Sakumo’s approval.

Where the remains of the Hyuga clan's fallen members were displayed, there were only a few dozen people.

Hinata Qianling knelt in front of a corpse with her eyes blank.

Because it was too far away from the central area, Hinata Chiryo did not see Uchiha Tunan.

Hinata Qianling's father was a reconnaissance ninja. He died on the battlefield when this local war just started.

But before today, no one specifically told her about her father's death.

Hinata Qianling's father is not very talented, he is just a special chuunin.

In a small local war like this, the Hyuga clan did not send their elites to the battlefield.

Instead, they recruited a bunch of cannon fodder like Hinata Chirei's father to serve as reconnaissance ninjas.

"Strong clans can enjoy themselves comfortably within the clan, while weak ones who are divided can only die on the battlefield.
To be continued...
