In the dark sky, dark clouds seemed to be mourning the death of the longest-reigning Hokage.

The rolling thunder sounded, the raindrops began to fall, and quickly became larger in a short period of time, and the rustling sounded, washing the broken wood leaves.

After all, the third generation of Naruto did not escape the fate of the previous generations and died in the battle to protect Konoha. Once upon a time, he felt complacently that he was the only Naruto who abdicated in his later years.

"Has the identity of the mysterious man who came in the battle been confirmed?" Jiraiya continued to ask. Not only him, but many people are extremely concerned about this issue now. The desperate suffocation and the huge appearance of heaven and earth, even if they have never had contact with it, they can feel the power that surpasses everyone.

Anbu, wearing a white mask next to him, said, "Based on the conversation between the first Naruto and the second Naruto and the other party, it can be confirmed that the other party is one of the legendary three gods, Uchiha Gen."

"Uchiha Gen?" Not only Jiraiya, but even the people next to him subconsciously exclaimed. This name was too far away for them, and even made them feel unreal.

Jiraiya's face was heavy and she whispered, "I didn't expect that the legendary God of Time and Space has lived to this point. If this happens, things will be troublesome. Such people are hidden in the ninja world, which will be a threat to all of us."

Kakashi said at this time, "Master Jiraiya, what should we do now? The third generation of Naruto has been killed in battle. Uchiha Gen suddenly appeared. The form of the ninja world may be unknown in the future. How should Konoha act?"

There were many people present, including the patriarchs of the big clan such as Pig, Deer and Butterfly, but Jiraiya was the only one who could convince all the Shangnin.

Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "Let's hold the old man's funeral first. As for the rest, there will be a decision for the Konoha high-level meeting. We should not be too pessimistic. Although the other party showed strength that we could not compete with, he had been hiding for so many years and had not taken action against Konoha. Perhaps he did not want to target Konoha. This time it was also very likely that Orochimaru summoned the first Naruto. In short, everything was waiting for the high-level meeting before making a decision!"

With Jiraiya's words, the discussion came to an end for the time being. Kakashi squatted down and put up the body of the third generation of Naruto with Jiraiya. The remaining ninjas quickly turned around and left to prepare for what they needed for the funeral.

The death of the third generation of Naruto is ultimately a big event for Konoha. The candidate for the fifth generation of Naruto has not yet been concluded. This time node is very subtle. During the decades of Sarutobi Hinata ruled, Konoha's direct descendants were his confidants, and even the fourth generation of Naruto who died young was his.

But no one can say whether all this will change with his death. Although many people are optimistic about Jiraiya's position as the Five Dynasties Hokage, after all, no one in the village is more suitable for him, regardless of strength or qualifications.

However, this statement is not suitable for now after all, so I can only discuss it after the funeral of the third generation of Naruto.

In addition, the fact that Uchiha Gen is still alive will also have an impact on Konoha and even the ninja world. As for what changes will be caused, it is still unknown.

...

The whining flute sounded in the broken Konoha Village, and the clouds were shrouded in the clouds. The rain since yesterday showed no sign of subsidence. Most of the ninjas looked up and looked in the direction of the Naruto Building. All ninjas who were qualified to go rushed there at the same time.

At first, the Naruto Building was located at the center of Konoha, but with the expansion and changes of Konoha over the years, the Naruto Building is no longer at the center.

Today is the funeral of the third generation of Naruto, which is the end of an era and the sadness of all Konoha Ninjas.

On the roof of the Naruto building, ninjas in black funerals lowered their heads, and the rain wet their bodies, but no one evaded them.

Two senior executives, Mito Menyan and Shunyu Koharu, stood in front, whispering the achievements of Sarutobi Hinata's life.

For some reason, Shimura Danzo was not present. However, this funeral was not forced to attend, just like Kakashi was not present at this time.

Naruto stood in the crowd, looking blankly at the photos of the third generation of Naruto's posthumous photo in front of him, with a bandage wrapped around his face. He was seriously injured and should have been treated in the hospital, but he heard about the funeral of the third generation of Naruto, and he insisted on attending.

Next to him were Sasuke and Sakura, who also looked sad.

Looking up, the cold rain hits his face, Naruto's mind is the kind look of the third generation of Naruto.

Konoha Village is very big, but there are not many ninjas who have never received the favor of the third generation of Naruto. No matter what he has done, it is impossible to deny that he is a very popular Naruto.

Scenes flashed through my mind, but at the end it was frozen on the night of graduation. I still remember that night, the third generation of Naruto kindly told his life experience and gave the art of multiple shadow clones as a gift.

"Naruto, I hope you can remember that Konoha is your home no matter where you are."

For some reason, the sentence was particularly clear at this time. Naruto took a deep breath and his eyes suddenly became firm.

Looking at the portraits of the three generations of Naruto ahead, he thought to himself, "I swear that I will protect Konoha and will inherit your will and become Naruto. Konoha is my hometown, this is my Uzumaki Naruto's promise."

And in another place, in the cemetery of Konoha Village.

Kakashi put down the lily in his hand and looked at the tombstone in the rain. He whispered, "Obito, Lin, today is the funeral of the third generation of Naruto. Yesterday, he died in battle. The murderer was Orochimaru. I don't know what that world is like, but we were all subordinates of the third generation of adults, so you should be able to meet there.

Sometimes when I think about it, it’s useless. Every time I think of you, I will curse myself when I was young. If it weren’t for me, maybe you might still be living happily in Konoha at this time. But it’s really ironic that I deserved to live the most damn thing."

His voice gradually became low until it disappeared. The sky light broke through the dark clouds and it was clear!
