But I have to say that this reason was acceptable to most people present. Even Kakashi felt that what Naruto said was very reasonable and heart-warming.
And some Konoha High Command who are standing in the front row and may think Naruto is a bit ridiculous have nothing to say at this time.
After all, why Shisui Uchiha doesn't even have a clansman who can offer flowers? They are too ignorant, and it's just out of their comfort zone to play devil's advocate at this time.
Especially Third, whose expression was very moved when he heard Naruto's "heartfelt words", and naturally allowed Naruto to lay flowers on behalf of his relatives.
He really hopes that Naruto will have the consciousness to become a 'family member of Konoha'!
Ever since, Naruto arrived in front of Coffin smoothly, and finally took advantage of the opportunity to bend down while offering flowers to see the whole person of Coffin clearly.
When Naruto saw it, Nine-Tails recognized it at a glance. It was indeed another Akatsuki member who stopped him on Uchiha Clan Massacre night.
[Is he Konoha's undercover agent lurking in Akatsuki? Besides Uchiha Itachi, there is another person? Is he dead? Did he not know about this in his previous life just because Naruto was not at a high level?]
Naruto subconsciously sensed it. If there was any malice or hostility, it would be impossible to escape this sense.
But in front of me, Shisui Uchiha in Coffin has no breath.
After Naruto quietly left a Flying Thunder God Mark on the other person's body, he stood up and looked at the young figure with his eyes closed peacefully in Coffin. He paused for a while as he was already done.
Then, he suddenly bowed deeply again.
"Although I don't know you and I just learned about your deeds, thank you very much for everything you have done for Konoha. From today on, I will keep your name in mind."
Naruto's voice was calm, but there was no one with sharp ears and eyesight present. Everyone who was silent at this time could hear Naruto's words.
"I am also Konoha Ninja, and I am your descendant. Although I am a little self-assertive, I am honored to be able to give you flowers on behalf of your relatives!"
After saying that, Naruto raised his head and silently returned to the team.
These words are from the bottom of Naruto's heart.
It was his tribute to a Konoha hero.
Then, Coffin slowly closed it, and as the funeral ended, everyone dispersed after saying goodbye to each other.
Might Guy seemed to be leaving for a mission soon, and left in a hurry without saying a few words. Naruto didn't even have time to ask the thick-browed uncle about the current situation of Rock Lee and Neji.
"It's over?"
Naruto, who had little experience, looked at Kakashi-sensei and asked with a hint of melancholy.
"It's over."
Kakashi nodded and said nothing more.
After all, it was a temporary farewell. For Shisui Uchiha, strangers just felt that Konoha had another person with the name Memorial Stone. People who knew him had accepted the news that the other party was a traitor long ago, and there were no big emotional fluctuations.
In fact, the same is true for Kakashi, but he can feel Naruto's Mindscape at this moment, so he stays with him.
"This is also the path that every Ninja must take, Naruto."
Kakashi said in a rare and gentle tone.
"I understand, Kakashi-sensei."
After a long time, Naruto nodded, and then seemed to cheer up quickly. "Let's go, now that you are back, we can accept higher-level tasks. Sasuke and Hinata must be waiting for us at the commissioned release place!"
"Ah, we have to wait a little longer for this, there are still some troubles that haven't been resolved..."
Kakashi's eyes wandered for a moment, and just when he was about to find another excuse, Mei Terumi's unique lazy and charming voice sounded.
"The trouble you're talking about doesn't mean me, does it?"
Naruto subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a beautiful big Older Sister wearing dark blue-like black clothes walking towards here.
"Isn't this the Mizukage? Why is she here?"
Nine-Tails's voice was full of doubts.
"Big Older Sister, are you Mizukage?"
Naruto stared at Mei Terumi with wide eyes and disbelief.
"Huh? I am Mizukage? Who told my little brother about you?"
"Ah, no, no, I said, Older Sister, are you...Waterfall Village?" Naruto quickly explained his slip of the tongue.
"It seems that Konoha doesn't teach geography knowledge well on weekdays. Little brother, it's not Waterfall Village, it's Kirigakure."
Mei Terumi didn't pay much attention to it. Naruto took a deep breath. Before he could ask, Nine-Tails had already explained.
"Oh, forget that she is not her now. She will be her in the future."
[Kurama You should talk less in the future!]
"Okay, you have seen Memorial's memorial ceremony for Shisui Uchiha, and you have also witnessed Lord Mizukage's request to Konoha." Kakashi intervened at the right time, looked at Mei Terumi and said, "Where are you going next?"
"Where to go? I don't plan to go anywhere."
"Huh? But didn't you say that Mizukage asked you not to return to the village before Chunin Ninja Exams?"
"Yes, so I plan to stay at Konoha during this period."
Kakashi blinked when he heard this, as if he didn't believe his ears.
"Well, let me confirm, are you going to Konoha and stay in the village during this period?"
"That's not true."
"That's good, otherwise I would be responsible for monitoring you for half a year, then..."
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, but Mei Terumi directly interrupted his speech.
"Don't worry, I know the rules. Although we are allies, after all, I am also Ninja of Kirigakure. I will still be under surveillance in Konoha. I am very clear about this. I won't cause you any trouble. I will just leave the village when you go on a mission."
Mei Terumi said cheerfully.
So...
"In other words, because Kakashi-sensei will continue to stay at Konoha to supervise and care for Miss Mei Terumi, we will continue to do chores under the leadership of Naruto-kun... not, low-level tasks."
"Hinata, you don't need to change the wording." Sasuke added.
"... That's just the way it is."
Kakashi looked at Sasuke and Hinata in front of him, and nodded to them helplessly.
And Sasuke and Hinata also understood the reason why Naruto left and came back as three people.
"Can't you change someone?" Sasuke asked.
"Little handsome boy, apart from your Kakashi-sensei, Konoha, there may not be many Jonin who can keep an eye on me. Anyway, Older Sister, I am also the number one Jonin among Kirigakure's active players. Where is." Mei Terumi looked at Sasuke teasingly, "And you must respect my opinion and not stare at me like a prisoner. After all, Kirigakure and Konoha are allies."
"Really?"
The two looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi nodded with integrity.
Then Sasuke and Hinata looked at Naruto and asked with their eyes...
As a result, the three of them glanced at the two of them suspiciously.
Mei Terumi had an indifferent attitude and even approached Kakashi deliberately and ambiguously.
This seemed to confirm the suspicions of the three little ones.
"Then let's ask the village to change it to Team Jonin."
Naruto's clever little mind once again thought of a wonderful idea, "Just leave Kakashi-sensei in the village. You can't let us waste our time in such a boring way, right?"
Sasuke and Hinata looked shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was not impossible.
"Okay, stop joking."
Kakashi saw that there was a real possibility that he would be kicked out of the team, so he stopped making jokes with them.
"Stay with it a little longer, it will be fine after a while. The subsequent Team 7 action has been reported to the village in advance. After all, Miss Mei Terumi is Ninja from another village. It is not suitable to carry out the mission in our village, and our Team 7 is equipped with Jonin and Chunin to lead the team, so we have applied for special operations to leave the village."
"Special operations?"
"That's right, Team 7 will conduct an investigation out of the village for at least half a year." Kakashi said, pointing his finger at the smiling Mei Terumi next to him, "Together with Kirigakure's ally Ninja, we will investigate the intelligence of the 'Akatsuki' organization and find people."
