Sunagakure Cemetery is in Valley, the easternmost part of the village.
I don't know if it's because of the geographical factors or the tombstones, but this place always gives people a cold feeling.
The four-year-old Xie just sat on the cold ground, staring blankly at the photos of his parents on the tombstone, trembling all over.
For a year, he always held various fantasies, looking into the distance at the entrance of the village, waiting for his parents to return.
He didn't want to go back to an empty home because when he turned on the light switch at night, he couldn't help crying when he was surrounded by darkness.
They'll be back soon.
That's what everyone told him.
But...
Even if it's just a lie, he thought.
All I need is this sentence, but why do you want to expose it!
Xie remembered the roar of teacher Chunin in the morning, "Your parents have died long ago! My son was also killed by your grandmother, why don't you die!"
Why did the amiable teacher suddenly become like this?
Scorpion doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know, because the only thing lingering in his mind is: Your parents are dead.
Looking at the cold tombstone in front of him, he felt a sore nose, his throat was blocked by hot air, his chest felt painful, and tears oozed from his eyes. Xie pressed his eyes tightly with his palms to stop all this, but the tears continued to fall from his eyes.
Suddenly he stood up and smashed the completely faded assembly Puppet in his hand towards the ground.
Puppet hit the ground and made a chirping sound, then fell apart and scattered around.
But the next second, Scorpion regretted it.
He quickly bent down to pick up the broken Puppet, but his toes slipped on a stone and his whole body fell heavily to the ground.
But he didn't care about the pain and continued to get up to pick up the Puppet fragments, but finally gave up and began to sit on the ground and cry loudly.
Ebizo stood not far behind Xie, couldn't help but sigh, and after a while he slowly approached.
"Second Grandfather, is my grandma dead?"
"No...Konoha was caught. He should be back in a few days."
"... Hmm." Xia slowly stood up.
"Don't tell her, I already know my parents are dead."
His tone was stiff, as if there was no emotion at all.
"... I... I know."
Ebizo sighed, sister, please come back quickly.
While Ebizo was praying here, Suna Ninja's negotiation team finally arrived at Konoha Hidden Village.
The Konoha venue was not located in the Hokage office building. Although the place was grand, it was in the center of the village after all. If anything happened, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have to face not only the harsh criticism of various factions, but also the dissatisfaction of ordinary villagers.
Therefore, this meeting was placed in the eastern edge area of Konoha, not far from Konoha's prison, and it was also convenient for Anbu to escort Kazekage and Chiyo out.
When Uchiha Chen and Jiraiya arrived at the venue, it was almost time to start, and there were already many Jonin outside.
After saying hello to the guarding ninjas, the four of them walked towards the center of the venue.
The Sand Ninja people haven't arrived yet. In addition to Hokage, there are also Konoha Elder Council sitting at the venue.
"Here we come." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded towards the four of Orochimaru, but didn't say much in such a serious occasion.
But Utatane Koharu winked and signaled Uchiha Chen to find a place to sit down.
But seeing Jiraiya, Sakumo and Orochimaru all walking towards their respective corners, Uchiha Chen couldn't sit down alone.
A mascot must have the self-consciousness of a mascot, even if it stands like a minion, there is nothing it can do.
He had no choice but to decline Aunt Tenne's kindness and walked towards his corner.
"Is this the mirror's son, Konoha's youngest Jonin?"
Several small exchanges of words reached Uchiha Chen's ears.
"Yes." Utatane Koharu, who was sitting in his seat, whispered to the elder beside him, "Land of Rain and Land of Rivers have both made great achievements. Isn't that awesome?"
The pride in her words was beyond words. Those who didn't know it might have thought that Uchiha Chen was her son.
"Cough." Third Hokage coughed lightly, his eyes did not turn to Elder Council, but the meaning was expressed clearly.
Sure enough, after he coughed slightly, Elder Council immediately lost his voice, but there were still a few curious eyes scanning the corner where Uchiha Chen was.
If Elder Council hadn't been established as a compromise back then, Sarutobi Hiruzen would only engage in this thing if he was full.
One village is not enough for him and three High Advisor, let alone the Elder Council composed of major families?
Although all the power is now in the hands of Third Hokage, there is no guarantee that there will not be any problems here in the future or Fourth Hokage in the future.
Not every Hokage has the strength of First Hokage and Second Hokage, and Third Hokage's skills are considered to be powerful among all previous Hokages.
So looking at Elder Council next to him, Third Hokage also showed a hint of coldness.
Almost another five minutes passed like this, and finally Konoha ninja opened the door and walked in.
"Third Hokage-sama, the Suna Ninja's envoy has been brought from the side entrance. According to your wishes, Konoha did not enter from the main entrance."
"Okay, bring them in." Third Hokage, who was sitting in the first place, nodded.
Not long after, a total of five Sand Ninja envoys were brought into the venue by two Konoha Jonin.
"Third Hokage, I haven't seen you for so many years and you still look the same as before." The leader of Sunagakure took off his hat, revealing a slightly older face.
"I didn't expect that Sunagakure's visiting envoy this time was actually Elder Masha. If I had known about it in advance, I would have definitely gone out to greet you in person."
Third Hokage laughed twice and flicked the cigarette ashes in his hand.
"It's better to skip it."
Sunagakure's elder Masha was too lazy to play this trick with Sarutobi Hiruzen, but got straight to the point.
"Where are our Third Kazekage and Elder Chiyo?"
"Don't be so hasty, we still have a lot to talk about, for example...
How much money are you prepared to pay to redeem people this time? "
Third Hokage showed an amiable smile.
