Night falls.

After the road from Konoha Hospital to the cemetery was blocked and put under martial law by Anbu in the name of Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi came to the Senju clan with three advisor elders dressed in black.

After receiving the notice, Orochimaru and Jiraiya also came to attend Uzumaki Mito's 'funeral'.

Under Sarutobi Hiruzen's suggestion, Jiraiya even brought Minato Namikaze with him to see Mito Uzumaki off. The purpose was self-evident.

Sheng Shu held a photo covered in black cloth and led the way.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya carried the coffin containing Mito Uzumaki's 'corpse' one after the other, carefully followed the rope tree, and walked towards the cemetery where the Senju clan members were buried.

Kushina has almost adapted to the Yin Kyuubi's chakra, and is being supported by Tsunade, following step by step.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and several advisors and elders all had serious expressions and stared at the coffin in front of them without saying a word.

Danzo felt the faint breath of death emanating from the coffin, and a hint of joy flashed in his one eye.

Secret Channel Uzumaki Mito, the mountain that was pressing on his head, had indeed fallen, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Namikaze Minato stood at the end, looking at Kushina who was being supported by Tsunade from time to time, his eyes full of worry and distress.

There was silence along the way, with only the sound of the footsteps of the people seeing them off and the rustling of the leaves in the wind.

Arriving at the cemetery, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who possesses five attributes, took the initiative to step forward and used Earth Release to dig out a grave at the location designated by Tsunade.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya gently placed the coffin into the grave. Naoki handed the photo covered in black cloth to Kushina and asked Orochimaru to help look after her.

Together with Tsunade, they sealed the tomb with earth and built a mound of earth.

Tsunade inserted an unmarked tombstone in front of the grave, pulled the rope tree and knelt down.

Everyone stood in a row in front of the tomb and bowed deeply three times to the tomb as a final farewell.

Kushina, who was in a coma due to adapting to the Yin Kyuubi chakra, naturally had no idea about the arrangement of the rope tree, and she was already crying like a tearful person. If he hadn't been supported by Orochimaru, he would have fallen to the ground.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tsunade, who had her head lowered and her shoulders shaking, and Naoki, who looked sad, and took a step forward to comfort him:

"Tsunade, Nezuki!"

"The deceased is gone!"

"Mito-sama has worked hard for Konoha all his life, so he should rest!"

"You are still young and you still have a long way to go in the future. You should cheer up early and don't be too sad!"

The two of them didn't even raise their heads, just nodded slightly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed inwardly.

"Don't worry, I will send ANBU to take turns guarding this place so that no one will disturb Mito-sama's sleep."

Naoki turned to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a grateful look.

"Then thank you, Hokage-sama!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said: "Okay, I still have some work to deal with, so I'll go back first!"

"Don't be too sad, go back early!"

"After all, Kushina's body still needs to recuperate!"

After moving to bed, Koharu and Mito Kadoen also came forward and comforted Tsunade and Naoki before leaving with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Danzo didn't say anything, he just glanced at Kushina, turned around and followed the footsteps of a few people.

Shengshu watched several people leave, stood up and patted the dirt on his knees.

"Brother Jiraiya, it's getting late. You should take Minato back with you first!"

"My sister and I will stay with grandma for a while. Teacher Orochimaru will help guard this place!"

Jiraiya looked at Naoki and Tsunade worriedly, hesitated for a while, and then nodded.

"Oh well!"

"Sarutobi-sensei is right, don't be too sad."

"I'll take Minato back first, Orochimaru, I'll leave this place to you!"

Jiraiya said hello to Orochimaru and took Namikaze Minato away.

Orochimaru looked at Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato disappearing in the distance, and finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

"Rope tree, what do you think, teacher?"

After hearing Orochimaru's question, Tsunade, who had been kneeling on the ground, began to shake her shoulders more frequently. He even couldn't help but cover his mouth, and his body swayed and fell to the ground.

Naoshu glared angrily at his sister who had long since stopped acting.

"You dare to say that your acting skills are good? Do you know that you almost exposed your secret?"

Tsunade hit the ground with her hands and finally laughed out loud.

"Ha ha!"

"Rose Tree, you still have a long way to go in the future, so don't be too sad!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Naoki's face suddenly darkened, and he stepped up and kicked Tsunade on the butt.

As soon as he finished kicking, Naoshu immediately regretted it.

Sure enough, Tsunade, who was laughing so hard that her branches were trembling, climbed up from the ground, jumped up and punched Naoki in the head.

Shengshu hurriedly parried, but was pinned to the ground by her elder sister, and was beaten on the head and face.

"You brat, how dare you kick my sister's ass? I think your wings are stiff!"

"Sister, I was wrong."

Kushina was so shocked that she forgot about her sadness and looked at Tsunade and Naoki in disbelief, huddled together in front of Mito's grandma's grave.

Yin Jiuwei cut into the seal and said disdainfully to Kushina: "Silly girl, those two guys have been acting, and that woman in Mito is not dead at all!"

"Don't even think about the tricks of that kid Naoki. He has the ability to escape from Yin and Yang. He just wants to save a Jinchuriki who has been separated from the tailed beast. It's very simple."

"Only a simple-minded little girl like you would be fooled by them!"

Kushina suddenly became interested, clumsily probed her spirit into the sealed space, and asked Yin Jiuwei for the detailed process.

"The other half of the Nine Lamas, tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Yin Jiuwei seemed quite satisfied with this new home. He turned over on the ground and opened his eyes slightly, looking at the little one in front of him.

"Since you want to hear it, I will tell you something!"

"At that time, you were not able to adapt to my power, so you were knocked unconscious by my chakra."

Orochimaru stepped forward and pulled Tsunade away, pulled the rope tree up from the ground, and patted the dust on him.

"You two, are you hiding something from me?"

Tsunade was still angry with Naoki, but when she heard Orochimaru ask again, she couldn't help but giggle again.

Seeing Tsunade's crazy look, Orochimaru couldn't ask anything, and his eyes fell directly on the rope tree.

Naoshu scratched his head and explained with a smile.

"Teacher, in fact, these are all lies to those old guys."

"Grandma was rescued by me using Yang Dun, and now she has been sent to Mikoto's place."

Orochimaru was surprised for a while.

"Isn't Mito-sama a Jinchuuriki? Then hasn't the Nine-Tails been drawn out?"

Naoshu shook his head.

"No! The Kyuubi has indeed been pulled out and is now inside Kushina's body."

Naoki told Orochimaru everything from dividing the Kyuubi to rescuing Mito.

Orochimaru suddenly realized and couldn't help but admire the rope tree's methods. He didn't ask why Naoki turned away from Jiraiya and didn't let him know these things.

After all, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

Moreover, Jiraiya has never been able to let go of his feelings for Sarutobi Hiruzen. If he knew that Naoki was plotting against Sarutobi Hiruzen, it might make things even more difficult for him.

Orochimaru understood the cause and effect of the matter and no longer thought about it.

"Now that Mr. Mito has been rescued by you, what are you going to do next?"

Naoshu looked up at Hokage Rock, his eyes becoming deep.

"Next, let's wait for the joint chuunin selection to begin!"

"There are some things that should be settled!"
