Chapter 78: Third Hokage

【This time, the scene appeared in Uzumaki Naruto's room.】

At this time, Uzumaki Naruto's forehead and face were covered with gauze, and his waist was wrapped with bandages. The room was very messy, with various eaten instant noodles, drunk milk, and other garbage thrown on the ground. Besides these, there were unwashed clothes. This room looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time!】

Seeing this scene, Kushina's face changed instantly! Everyone didn't dare to speak, and their eyes continued to be placed on the screen.

【In the video, Uzumaki Naruto didn't seem to notice these, just sitting cross-legged on the bed, staring blankly at the ground, the figure of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen appearing in his mind!】

After a long time, Uzumaki Naruto finally came back to his senses. He turned his head to look at the alarm clock on the bedside, then stood up expressionlessly, picked up the black shirt on the bed, put it on, and then went out.】

"If I remember correctly, this should be the memorial service for the Third Hokage, right!" Nara Shikaku said after seeing the scene.

"Hehe... what do you think? Orochimaru," Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, looking at Orochimaru!

"Is that so! Congratulations, Teacher Sarutobi, you are so lucky to be able to see your own memorial service," Orochimaru said hoarsely.

Everyone ignored them and continued to look at the screen!

【The scene shifted, and Uzumaki Naruto appeared at the memorial service. Everyone was wearing black clothes. Naruto stood in the first row. The two Konoha advisors were presiding over this memorial service. In front of the two Konoha advisors were the portraits of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and those who sacrificed in this battle!】

Everyone was lowering their heads with sad expressions, no one speaking, and the atmosphere appeared particularly heavy.

At this time, the sky also began to rain, making this memorial service, which was already heavy in atmosphere, appear even more oppressive.

"No matter what situation a ninja is in, they cannot show their emotions, and they must prioritize the mission. No matter what, they cannot shed tears."

In Naruto's mind, the words spoken by the teacher during class at the Ninja Academy appeared.

Watching his little friends offer flowers one by one in front of the Third Hokage's portrait, although they were very sad, none of them shed tears!

Soon, it was Naruto's turn to offer flowers. Looking at the Third Hokage's portrait, the memories of the bits and pieces of getting along with the Third Hokage in the past flashed through Naruto's mind.

Naruto silently put down the flowers, endured the tears he wanted to shed, turned around, and returned to the line.

"Iruka-sensei, why can people bet their lives for others?"

Looking at the Third Hokage's stone statue, Naruto asked.

Iruka looked at Naruto and then said:

"After people die lonely, everything will disappear. His past, his current life, and his future will all disappear together! Many people are surprisingly straightforward in war or time!

Hayate was one of them. Among those who died, some had dreams, but no matter who they were, they all had things they cherished most—parents, brothers, friends, or lovers—people who were very important to them!

They trust, help each other, and from the moment they are born, they have a bond with the people they feel are important, and this bond will become firmer and firmer as time passes!

This doesn't need any big principles. People who have such bonds will definitely choose to do so! Because it is really important."

"I always feel that I can understand this feeling, but death is really painful."

Naruto said, looking at the Third Hokage's portrait.

"The Third Hokage didn't die in vain, and he did leave some important things for us! One day you will understand what this principle is."

Kakashi said.

"I also feel that I can understand this feeling," Naruto turned his head and said, looking at Kakashi.

"Sasuke, the rain has stopped," at this time, Haruno Sakura, on the side, looked at Uchiha Sasuke and said.

Uchiha Sasuke looked up at the sky where the dark clouds had dispersed!

At this time, the memorial service also ended...

"Goodbye, Iruka-sensei," after the memorial service ended, Naruto waved his hand and said goodbye to Iruka.

"Goodbye," Iruka said, watching Naruto run toward Team 7!

After saying this, the screen went dark again.】

The Konoha square was very quiet, completely without the discussion atmosphere of the previous few videos, and everyone didn't speak, the atmosphere being particularly heavy.

For ninjas, memorial services were not unfamiliar. In this world, ninjas were always accompanied by death—missions, assassinations, wars—almost every day ninjas died, and dying of old age was simply a luxury for ninjas! So people in the ninja world had almost all attended memorial services, and more than once!

After seeing this video, they thought of their family and friends. Just as Iruka said, many people sacrificed their lives for Konoha, for their relatives, and friends!

"I didn't expect it! I can still be a ninja in the future, cough cough." The current Gekko Hayate was still a child, and his dream since childhood was to become a ninja!

"Becoming a ninja is not necessarily a good thing..." A ninja on the side sighed!

"Exactly, my family died because of a mission!" Someone echoed!

"Ninjas deal with death every day. When you walk on this path, you will find that you don't know when you will suddenly die!"

"It's not as scary as you say. Now the Five Great Nations are getting along more and more peacefully, and it will get better and better in the future."

Of course, there were also reborn people who came out to explain!

"Exactly, exactly, so we must cherish the life we have now. Let's go, I'm going home to accompany my family."

"Right, right, wait for me, let's go together!"

Maybe they were tired of watching, maybe they were infected by the sad emotions in the video, anyway, many people went home... Although they would come to watch the video tomorrow, let's stop here for today.

This was the feeling of many people who watched the Third Hokage's memorial service.

As more and more people left, unknowingly, there weren't many people left in the venue!

"Let's disperse too!" In the Hokage Building, after hearing the report from the Anbu, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen said!

After watching his own memorial service, his mood at this time was not much better.

"Okay, then we'll go first!" Minato nodded, then held Kushina's hand and walked out of the Hokage office!

Seeing that Minato had left, everyone left one after another...
