The Ancestor Was Buried Upright

Qingcheng then had Kumo-ma bring out Uchiha Itachi's corpse, and with a swift stroke, he directly removed Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan.

Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "Kumo-ma, pick a place with decent feng shui and bury Uchiha Itachi there."

Upon Kumo-ma frowned slightly and said with an embarrassed expression:

"Reporting to the Hokage, this subordinate does not know how to find auspicious burial sites. Only Manager Yunye in Konoha knows how to find burial sites. What's that incantation called again? 'Searching for the dragon and dividing the gold, look at the winding mountains.'"

Qingcheng shook his head and said seriously, "That's a mnemonic for tomb raiding. The mnemonic for finding auspicious burial sites is, 'Look up at the blue sky, keep your master in your heart.' Go and try it!"

Kumo-ma reluctantly replied, "Alright, alright, but let's make this clear first: if we don't find a suitable feng shui location, don't blame me."

Kumo-ma, leading another group of members from the Lightning Armor Corps, set off immediately. They saw that the entire Amegakure had been reduced to ruins, the ground a scene of utter devastation, with thick smoke rising from it.

Kumo-ma said awkwardly, "Amegakure is a mess, with yellow sand and billowing black smoke everywhere. The sky is full of Hokage. Where is this auspicious place? If the Hokage doesn't want to see Uchiha Itachi, can't he just say so? It's really putting us in a difficult position."

Jiao Kun immediately extended his finger, made a threatening sound, and then said with a wary expression:

"Captain, you need to watch your words! If the Police Force heard what you just said, you could be paraded through the streets of Konoha right now, and you might even be fined ten billion yen."

Kumo-ma hearing Jiao Kun's warning, Yun Jian immediately felt a chill run down his spine and said in a panic, "That was so dangerous! How could I have made such a mistake?"

Immediately afterward, Kumo-ma patted his chest, looked around warily, and, finding no members of the Police Force, said with a lingering fear:

"That was so dangerous! Ah Kun, thank you so much! If it weren't for your reminder, I'd probably be in deep trouble today. Being lazy at work is a serious crime, and I even criticized the Hokage, which is adding insult to injury! Oh my god!"

The members of Lightning Armor Corps, all looking extremely cautious, followed behind Kumo-ma, carefully searching for an auspicious burial site.

Tsunade landed on the ground with a perfect rise and landing, right next to Qingcheng. Her freefall in the air had exposed her voluptuous figure to the air.

All the Konoha Ninja looked stunned, and many even lowered their heads.

Another group of people silently chanted to themselves, "Women are my nemesis; women will hinder my growth. I must purify my mind and reduce my desires."

Qingcheng frowned again as he looked at Tsunade, thinking to himself, "She's still very generous! She'll share any goodies with everyone."

Tsunade looked at the unconscious Konan, her brows furrowing slightly. With a dark expression, she said, "Using a stinky sock to stuff in her mouth—that's the kind of thing only someone could come up with."

Upon hearing Tsunade's reprimand, the members of the Police Force all spoke up, saying, "It was all taught by Minister Zhang Tsunade. Lady Tsunade, go find him."

Qingcheng said very seriously:

"First, take Konan back to Konoha and keep her captive. Then, release Kakuzu and let him wreak havoc in the Shinobi World. Next, keep Hidan captive in the Police Force, and send all the surrendered Rain Ninja to Konoha's Black Factory for labor reform."

Immediately afterward, Qingcheng said to Tsunade, "You go back to Konoha with them first. I need to go to the Land of Grass."

Having said that, Qingcheng stretched out his hands and activated his Perception Technique again to search for the Flying Thunder God Mark. Under the powerful Sage Mode, the range of his Perception Technique had been greatly enhanced, enough to cover an entire country.

A few minutes later, Qingcheng sensed the exact location of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path: it was located beneath the Land of Land of Grass.

The Land of Grass borders Konoha, so it's also considered Konoha. It has some rebellious underlings, but after being dealt with by Aburame Torune, they've completely surrendered to Konoha.

Qingcheng immediately formed a hand Hand Seals and shouted, "Flying Thunder God Technique!"

With a whoosh, as if teleporting, they vanished from the territory of Amegakure.

After Qingcheng left, the Wood Golem Clone in the four corners of Amegakure immediately stopped their Ninjutsu: Four Red Yang Formation, then transformed back into wood and earth, disappearing from their original positions.

Tsunade watched Qingcheng disappear, then said with a serious expression, "Stop being so mysterious. When you come back, if you don't explain yourself to me, I'll just drain you dry."

Shouhon Yihan frowned upon seeing Tsunade's nonchalant Tsunade, immediately took a few steps back, and said with a panicked expression:

"Lady Tsunade, Konan is our enemy. It doesn't seem too much to stuff a smelly sock into the enemy's mouth, does it?"

Upon hearing this explanation, Tsunade shook her head and said with obvious disdain:

"It's not excessive, but it's very unsightly, and the smell is quite strong; I can smell it even here. Next time, take it to the Police Force to deal with it, but don't do this in a public place; it's just too disgusting."

Kumo-ma and the others found a bare hillside. Seeing that the terrain there was relatively high, they said with serious expressions:

"What do you think of this place? After Uchiha Itachi, he can see the scenery of Amegakure. Wouldn't you call it a prime location?"

A bald member of the Lei Kai team, gazing at the hillside, exclaimed, "This place must be a feng shui treasure! Nagato just used Chibaku Tensei; this hillside practically fell from the sky!"

Looking at the smooth slope, Aite immediately nodded and said with great certainty, "This slope absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, and was even created by the Chibaku Tensei. The realm of all things flourishing is still vivid in my mind."

Upon hearing Aite's words, Kumo-ma immediately nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly, and said, "That makes sense, very much so, absolutely reasonable."

Jiao Kun looked at the bare hilltop and said earnestly:

"This kind of cemetery should be what Manager Yunye was talking about, a place where the ancestors are buried upright, and the descendants will surely prosper."

Kumo-ma hearing Jiao Kun's words, Yun Jian's eyebrows rose, and he said with admiration:

"Ah Kun, you're absolutely right. You truly are an intellectual of our Lightning Armor Corps. Your words are truly enlightening."

Then, Kumo-ma said with a smile, "Uchiha Sasuke will definitely be very successful in the future; he'll have to treat us to a late-night snack."

Aite and the others prepared to start digging, extending their palms in a chopstick shape, ready to dig an upright grave for Itachi in this rare and auspicious burial site.

Jiao Kun began Hand Seals and shouted, "Magnet Release: Sand Iron Monument!"

Large amounts of black sand rose from the ground, resembling Iron Sand, and stood atop the Dragonfly Skimming Water Tomb. The black tombstone read, "Grave of Uchiha Itachi."

Jiao Kun then said with a serious expression, "He has done everything he could, truly done everything he could. We even erected a monument for him; from now on, he will be the guardian of Amegakure."

Kumo-ma also said with great certainty, "They really did their best. When Itachi Uchiha Itachi slaughtered the Uchiha Clan, he didn't even leave behind any paper money. We even gave him a light sip. They were truly very kind, you could say their filial piety moved heaven."

Jiao Kun looked at Kumo-ma, who was still spouting nonsense, and said awkwardly, "Filial piety moves Heaven and Earth, that's what filial sons and virtuous grandsons say. Captain Kumo-ma, don't you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Kumo-ma immediately darkened, and he frantically retorted, "I was speaking for Sasuke!"

Jiao Kun said awkwardly, "Sasuke doesn't recognize him at all. On the Night of the Uchiha Massacre, Sasuke, who was six years and eight months old, was beaten half to death by Uchiha Itachi. His brain was even damaged. Even now, the Hokage would use his fists to treat Uchiha Sasuke's brain."
