As head of the clan, Kagami Uchiha held a grand funeral for the fallen Tetsuya Uchiha, honoring everything he had given as a member of the Security Force. He was the first Uchiha clansman to die in the line of duty outside wartime, and Tetsuya Uchiha had spent his entire life abiding by the rules of the Konoha Military Police Force. Whether to unite the clan or further strengthen the force's sense of responsibility, Kagami had every reason to make the occasion a major affair.
With painstaking care, the medical ninja had managed to piece Tetsuya Uchiha's remains back into something resembling a human form. After they dressed and prepared him, he no longer looked quite so horrifying. Looking at Tetsuya Uchiha's body in the coffin, Kagami shook his head slightly and silently wished him happiness in the Pure Land.
The members of the Security Force who had been close to Tetsuya solemnly paid their respects before his memorial tablet. Uchiha Setsuna, whom everyone regarded as his dear friend, naturally attended. His face was solemn, but inwardly he was laughing. Others might grieve over Tetsuya Uchiha's death, but he would not.
After glancing at the silently weeping Uchiha Ken, Setsuna returned to his seat and waited for the final stage of the funeral, when Tetsuya's coffin would be taken to the Memorial Stone for burial. Kagami believed that Tetsuya had died for the village and should therefore be buried there as one of its heroes. Ordinarily, the clan would have kept his body to protect the Sharingan, but Tetsuya had never awakened it. Even if he had, his eyes could not have been preserved in their current state, so there had been little opposition to burying him at the Memorial Stone.
