Danzo put the flowers on the table, looking sullenly at the photos placed in front of the table.

From the time he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen's body, he had mixed feelings, after all, everyone was over half a hundred years old.

Cooperating secretly, they did a lot of things together overtly and secretly, and they also targeted each other for many years.

Now it's the memorial meeting for the official farewell.

"After all these years, you still have to take the first step."

"There is no one who has grown up among the juniors, and the whereabouts of your other two students are unknown."

"Konoha now has no more suitable person to be Hokage than me."

Goodbye can be there, but Danzo still wants to take the position of Hokage.

The death of Sarutobi Hiruzen even intensified Danzo's thoughts.

Orochimaru can be said to be an enemy that Sarutobi Hiruzen personally let go.

If he could kill, Danzo would never stay alive. He knew better that the person who let the enemy die was himself.

Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen are not the same as people on their own, he just hides in the dark.

If something goes wrong, you can sit down to the advantage of a fisherman, and the fire can't burn him.

Danzo thought about it and couldn't even find someone more suitable than him in the village.

At the most basic level, there should be no one better than him in terms of ability.

Although he is not doing Hokage, he also makes Root's activities vivid in the dark.

Leadership, age, ability and qualifications, Danzo believes that there is no second candidate in the village.

"The dead can't stand up and compete with me anymore."

After Danzo whispered, he raised his eyes and looked at Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura who were organizing the funeral nearby.

The two senior executives looked at him and quickly avoided. Danzo sneered, then walked away from the photo.

"It's tricky..."

Danzo came to the funeral and brushed his presence in front of them, just to emphasize to them his suitability for Hokage's position.

But that person is not suitable for Hokage at all.

Once he sits on the seat of Hokage, these elders will undoubtedly be threatened.

Compared to ordinary people who are easy to manipulate and negotiate with Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo is simply a high-level nightmare.

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura have been avoiding them. Third Hokage has just passed away, and everything is still under discussion to preclude Danzo from succeeding Hokage.

They are also secretly rushing to discuss the next Hokage issue with the daimyo of the country of fire.

Konoha is indeed too short of people now.

"Ms. Iruka, why can people fight for others' lives?"

After Naruto finished offering flowers, he asked Iruka next to him while looking straight ahead.

The pattering light rain gradually stopped, and a few drops of rain water rippled on the water surface that had formed puddles.

"People will die and disappear alone."

"The past and present life, and the future will all disappear together."

"Many people died in missions and wars. This thing is actually incredibly simple."

"The dead will also have hopes and dreams, unfinished things, unfulfilled wishes."

"Everyone will have their own important people, born with them, parents and brothers, friends and lovers."

"The bond with them will become stronger over time because of the existence of these cherished things and important people."

Iruka stared at the white flowers on the table in front of him, and said calmly.

"I can understand, but... death is really painful."

In the previous battle with Bai, Naruto was vaguely able to understand some feelings about life and death, important people, because of Sasuke's affairs.

But it always felt vague, and there was something he didn't fully understand.

"Death will not be a useless thing. People will grow up by being given new power while experiencing the death of others."

"Well, you will understand this one day."

Kakashi's voice rang from behind Naruto.

He is the most qualified to say this sentence, after all, it is different from Iruka when his parents died when he was a child.

Kakashi can be said to have grown up in death, from father to teacher.

There were four students and teachers in a team, and he was the only one who died.

These people did not die at the same time, almost accompanied Kakashi's entire growth process.

Hearing the sound, Hatake Sosuke raised his head slightly and glanced forward.

Kakashi didn't know when he came from the comforting monument, and he was mixed in the crowd in front of him.

Is that guy actually able to say such things now?

Obviously, in the past few years, he had been arguing with Hatake Sosuke because of his father's affairs, compared with these children.

Hatake Sosuke still feels that Kakashi, as an iron Tsundere before, had an epiphany to the point where he had been enlightened by the master.

Naruto has little understanding of life and death, and it is probably the first time that he has truly experienced the death of an acquaintance.

In addition, Sarutobi Hiruzen's companion teacher is different on weekdays. Naruto is just an entry-level approach to death.

Konoha's training for newcomers is the same as Sarutobi Hiruzen himself, a bit too soft.

They can't see the cruelty of real war, and can only understand it through the death of people around them.

Danzo is the other side of the relative, of course, it's not just the root state.

Things that are too extreme are not good.

"The rain stopped."

Basically, when the memorial service was completely over when it was stuck, the gloomy sky that was about to fall cleared up.

The look of the ghost lantern full of moon refreshed, Kirigakure's foggy weather all the year round did not feel anything, rain on Konoha really affects the mood.

Ghost Lantern Manmoon still had some water droplets on his hair, and then turned his head to look at Hatake Sosuke next to him.

"?"

Hatake Sosuke's two hands rested on Kimimaro and Gui Deng Shui Yue's body respectively, and the three of them didn't even have any water on their bodies.

Although it was a waste of spell power to use the unlimited spell like this, there would be no battle after that.

Hatake Sosuke directly used it to keep out the rain.

The ghost lantern full moon immediately looked at the three people in distress and whispered.

"Why don't I, I am also a student of the teacher."

Hatake Sosuke raised his eyebrows in disgust, and let go of his hands on the shoulders of the two children.

"The boss is not young anymore, don't you count them? Are you afraid of rain even if they are all Mizukage?"

The students turned around one after another, preparing to leave with their teachers and start a new day of practice.

The deceased has passed away, and the living will always return to a new life.

Among these growing children and young people, the will of fire will be inherited accordingly.

As they grow up, one day they will become the new Hokage. .
