I have a bunch of relatives who want to be Hokage

"Um."

"Then I understand." Uchiha Shingen said no more.

The reason why Uchiha Setsuna's string suddenly loosened has been found.

Well, he heard what he most wanted to hear from Uchiha Madara in his life.

There is no regret.

"Setsuna, have a good rest." Uchiha Madara said and disappeared from the room.

Uchiha Shingen knew that this time, Uchiha Madara was really leaving.

When we meet again, whether we are enemies or friends depends on the situation.

Chapter 63 Eye of the Moon

Uchiha Setsuna's departure was both sudden and expected.

Emotional joy and sorrow are like poison to his age and physical condition.

The person he respected the most in his life, and the family he cherished the most in his life, Setsuna Uchiha could not accept the possibility that the two might become enemies one day.

What makes him relieved is that the current Uchiha Shingen has shown no less intimidation than Uchiha Madara during his lifetime. Combined with Uchiha Shingen's performance all the time, he believes that the family will be fine.

If there is a day of hostility, he also believes that the two sides can eventually reconcile.

So in the end he was very relieved.

But until his death, he never asked Uchiha Madara about this matter.

He returned to his original identity, an ordinary ninja of the Uchiha family, and like most people of that era, he worshiped the patriarch Uchiha Madara.

Coincidentally, when he was alive, Uchiha Madara seemed to be an Uchiha on the surface.

Uchiha Setsuna passed away that night, and his funeral was held the next day, which was very grand.

He is a person who has made great contributions to the family. In addition, the upper echelons of the Uchiha clan have relatively good family traditions, and Uchiha Setsuna has played an important leading role.

Many of the contemporary Uchiha elites have been cared for by this elder.

Those who have not been taken care of will not have any objections to him. Uchiha Setsuna is also a person. He cannot take care of everyone. Everyone can see what he has done over the years.

For example, Uchiha Tekka couldn't stop crying at the funeral.

His two Sharingans are now symmetrical, both are three magatama, and he has already become a jounin.

At the funeral, Uchiha Tiehuo didn't open his Sharingan at all, and his eyes were still red.

The funeral was held in the Uchiha clan area, but the participants were not just the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Setsuna is not an ordinary person. He has been on the focus list in the Hokage Building since the Sandaime era.

The key point is that the relationship between the Hokage Building and the Uchiha clan was at its worst. As long as Uchiha Setsuna stepped out of the clan's territory, the ANBU had to protect him and never let anything happen to him.

Moreover, this old man’s eyes are quite poisonous. The three current Hokages of the Uchiha clan were all strongly supported by Uchiha Setsuna when they were young. They have excellent personal friendships. From this point of view, he has something to do with the whole village. Not very peaceful.

Now that the old man has passed away, all forces in Konoha Hidden Village have also participated in the funeral.

Even the Sarutobi clan, who had the worst relationship with Setsuna Uchiha during his lifetime, had an elder leading a team to express condolences.

The Hyuga clan was directly led by the clan leader Hyuga Hizashi. A bunch of people came, including several elders.

Originally, Uchiha Setsuna's funeral should be organized by immediate family members, but Uchiha Akira, as Uchiha Setsuna's widow, was not much younger than Uchiha Setsuna, and no one dared to let this grandmother organize the funeral.

As the patriarch of the family, Uchiha Fugaku took over this task without hesitation.

Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Shisui were mainly responsible for welcoming guests.

Fortunately, kowtowing is not popular in the Naruto world, otherwise the three Hokages would have smashed the floor.

The Hokage Building also attaches great importance to it. Both Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina are here. Everyone from the original Tobirama class and Uchiha Setsuna are old enemies. Sarutobi Hiruzen and his old friends are also here. Send Uchiha Setsuna off for the last time.

The Tobirama trio were used to seeing familiar faces leaving one by one. Now, even the old enemy Setsuna Uchiha had left. They felt more and more that the era that once belonged to them had passed.

On the one hand, the three of them felt sad; on the other hand, they were increasingly eager to retire completely.

To be honest, ever since Sarutobi Hiruzen was appointed to succeed Hokage in a critical situation, during his reign, everyone has not had a relaxing day in decades.

After the fourth generation came to power, their lives seemed to be better on the surface, but in fact they were more troublesome.

They all know that only by truly retreating can they live a peaceful life.

But when ninjas reach their level, if they really want to retreat, they will either be completely unable to fight or die.

If they want to give up power, there will be a large group of people behind them who will not let them go.

"Chief Fugaku, please forgive me." Sarutobi Hiruzen said politely to Uchiha Fugaku, "Is Akira's health okay?"

"Thanks to you, she is fine." Uchiha Fugaku responded more officially.

After all, he really has no personal relationship with the Sandaime group.

All I can say is that there was no personal grudge, it was very casual and business-like.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and spoke to Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Shisui next to him.

The achievements of these two young people today prove that his original idea was correct.

Unfortunately, something happened to Danzo, completely disrupting everything.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had no friendship with Uchiha Fugaku, but he and Uchiha Shisui were once very friendly. He and Uchiha Shisui left after talking for a few more words.

Although Uchiha Shingen and Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say much, he could hear Sarutobi Hiruzen's obvious intention to retire from the conversation between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Shisui.

There is not much left of this Shinobi hero's ambition.

If you want to arouse his anger again, it will only be possible if the village is threatened by something.

This is great!

Uchiha Shingen thought about his retirement plan for the leaders of Konoha Hidden Village.

If Uchiha Setsuna had retired on time and not worked so hard, his health would not be worse than Sarutobi Hiruzen's now.

To put it bluntly, Hiruzen Sarutobi is certainly well-maintained, but Setsuna Uchiha's strength and skills are far inferior to Hiruzen Sarutobi's. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so tired...

But then again, even if there is a retirement system, Uchiha Setsuna will not be able to relax. Their environments are completely different.

Watching Sarutobi Hiruzen leave, Uchiha Shingen threw away these useless thoughts.

These two people are trying their best to protect what they want to protect. There is nothing to say.

Uchiha Setsuna's funeral lasted for a day as usual. In the evening, everyone sent his coffin to the Uchiha clan's tomb.

Unlike the Senju Tombs that have become the Hokage Cemetery, the Uchiha family's family tomb is still a private cemetery and cannot be entered by outsiders.

But this only happened after the Hidden Leaf Village was established.

There was no such conspicuous family cemetery in the Warring States Period. At that time, it was normal for everyone to bury relatives and friends not only in a hidden way, but also to set up traps.

If you love me, let me be covered with detonating symbols.

If you can't blow it clean, even if the feelings are not deep enough.

It will be different after the Ninja Village. Ninjas can be buried like normal people, as long as the body is not missing.

The only one who was not buried in the Uchiha clan's grave during his lifetime was Uchiha Madara.

However, this guy faked his death, and his true body fell into the hands of Hei Jue.

Speaking of which, Black Zetsu also disappeared along with Uchiha Madara.

Senju Hashirama didn't come either, which was totally out of character for him.

Uchiha Shingen felt that it was most likely Uchiha Madara who left the village on the back foot, and Senju Hashirama chased him on the front foot.

But he bet he couldn't catch it.

This is also the tradition of Konoha.

From the earliest Uchiha Madara to the later Orochimaru and Uchiha Sasuke, no one was recovered.

Orochimaru suddenly changed his mind.

Uchiha Sasuke decided to become Hokage.

None of these running monsters make people worry.

After Uchiha was buried, everyone observed silence for a while before gradually dispersing.

Uchiha Shingen did not go home, he still returned to Uchiha Setsuna's old house. From today on, Uchiha Qiu will live alone.

For these old people, loneliness is their enemy.

When Uchiha Shingen returned to his old house, he saw Uchiha Akimasa sitting blankly in the living room, holding the coat that Uchiha Setsuna wore at home when he was alive.

Uchiha Shingen walked over and sat next to Uchiha Akira.

When he was still alive as Senju Muju, the young Uchiha Akiza was also popular in the village.

She and Setsuna Uchiha were childhood sweethearts in the standard sense, and they were one of the few people who could control Setsuna Uchiha.

She also attended a ninja school, but was ultimately deemed unfit to become a ninja.

My heart is really too soft.

"Grandma Qiu, please move to my house." Uchiha Shingen said softly.

"It's Shingen..." Uchiha Qiu came back to her senses. She was immersed in memories, and her thinking was slower at this time. It took her a while to realize what Uchiha Shingen was talking about.

"No, no." Uchiha Qiu shook his head, "I'm used to living in this house. I won't be able to adapt to another place."

"Then if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell us."

"Yeah, I will." Uchiha Qiu smiled.

Uchiha Shingen did not continue to persuade him, just let his family come more often in the future.

For an elderly person like Uchiha Qiu who is already alone, it is impossible for the Uchiha clan to really let her live alone, and they will definitely arrange for people to help take care of her, but this cannot relieve Uchiha Qiu's depression.

After spending some time with Uchiha Qiu, Uchiha Shingen waited until she went into the house to sleep before coming out of the house.

The house can sense chakra, which is a protector specially arranged by the family.

He wasn't the only one who was afraid that something might happen to Uchiha Akira when he lived alone.

Without disturbing this clansman's work, Uchiha Shingen went home.

When he reached the door of his house, he thought for a while and walked to Fugaku's house next door first.

After knocking on the door, it was Uchiha Sasuke who opened the door.

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes were still red.

"Brother Shingen." He shouted softly.

Uchiha Shingen patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't think too much about Grandpa Setsuna. He can finally rest. You should be happy for him, you know?"

"Oh..." Uchiha Sasuke didn't know whether he heard it or not.

But this is human nature. Uchiha Shingen continued to ask: "Where is your father?"

"Dad is in the study..." Uchiha Sasuke said, adding, "Dad drank today."

"Well, I'm going to discuss something with your father. You go to bed early and don't let your mother worry about you all the time." Uchiha Shingen said smoothly as he entered the door.

Everyone is having a hard time tonight.

"Oh." Uchiha Sasuke responded muffledly. He closed the door and went back obediently.

Uchiha Shingen walked towards the study.

With Uchiha Madara gone, he must officially launch his Eye of the Moon plan. Uchiha Shingen has many things to discuss with Uchiha Fugaku in order to prepare for the next response.

Morning came once again in the Konoha Forest.

However, it was a noisy early morning.
