21. [Chapter 22] Smile on the face
Uchiha Sasuke attended Haruno Sakura's funeral, which was also the first official meeting between Uchiha and his father and daughter.
For ninjas, funerals are a luxury, and more people are simply understateed and their names will not even be left behind.
However, as the "Sonan Zuowen's sister", Haruno Sakura not only had a grand funeral held in the shrine, but even aristocrats came to attend the funeral of "Sonan Sister".
——Even if she is a ninja.
"Right is such a thing. It can make you stand anywhere and become a place where all light gathers. It can also make things that are light or unforgettable in your eyes, and become a stroke in history."
Hana gently patted Uchiha Sarana's head, looking at the girl who had already changed into a sacrificial uniform, with a cold expression, but her eyebrows and eyes were like a girl with eight points of footsteps of Haruno Sakura.
"Your mother's funeral is the first step for you to officially embark on the road to the world, and also the first step for you to face the storm. Think about what you want to do, Sarana."
Hana has informed Sarana about the cause of Haruno Sakura's death, and also told her about Uchiha Sasuke's past and difficulties.
In Huayan's eyes, from today on, Uchiha Sarana is no longer a chick sheltered under her wings, but an eagle with full wings that should learn to fly.
"Ninjas are like this. Whether it is a funeral or a wedding, whether it is strong or weak, as long as the order is issued, they must go to the battlefield and welcome death bravely and fearlessly."
"As long as you can become stronger, you can have more hope of living - even if you live one more day, it is a luxury for ninjas. You know, the average life expectancy in the ninja world is not even more than twenty years old."
"This is the fate of a ninja and one of the rules of this world. You don't have to be unwilling to give up or be angry, because this is something you need to change in the future."
"Sarana, walking on this road, I hope you will always remember--your mother is a ninja, and your father is a ninja."
——"You are not the nobles who dominate their destiny high above, but you have experienced these grief and despair."
——"Only by empathizing can you understand what you should do in the future."
——"As a leader, not a condescending almsman."
Hana gently pushed Uchiha Sarana's back, and the girl with a straight back was pushed slightly, but soon, she stood firm and walked straight outside.
In her eyes, the dark marleidoscope was spinning - it was Uchiha's Sharingan, the pride of the ninja world, the existence of the nobles disdained, she was a ninja, always.
She stepped steadily, with a dignified posture and awesome momentum. A young and weak girl with an incredible figure dominated the audience, shocking silently.
Uchiha Sarana was wearing a dark pattern of Fu Haori. This man's first ceremonial outfit completely abandoned the difference between men and women in Uchiha Sarana, leaving only a sense of awesomeness.
Uchiha Sarana gave a stand-alone bow to everyone—not a woman’s kneeling salute.
At the silent funeral ceremony, she looked indifferent and naturally placed herself in a superior position. Wherever her eyes brewing death and unknown eyes swept toward would immediately make people feel frightened and scared.
Sozo introduced Uchiha Sarana to everyone: "This is the child of my sister Haruno Sakura and my brother-in-law Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Sarana."
"She will be my heir."
——Not a "child", not a "junior", not a "niece", but an heir.
What is the seven years that is enough for a Honmaru from different time and space to do?
Huayan can tell you that you can do everything that is earth-shaking and make people stand at the peak of power and say the only thing that is the only one.
For example, now, she brightly announced that a girl would become her heir. Everyone looked surprised and had a different look, but no one dared to speak.
Hua Yan and Zong San are infertile for many years, without children or heirs. Most of them are nobles who want to become disciples, which is also a small abacus that many famous people are fiddling with.
After all, over the years, Daming, who has some knowledge, knows how painful it is to fight head-on with this "overseas aristocrat". The best solution is to be able to defeat the opponent's power without bloodshed.
But at this moment, an inexplicable "heir" suddenly appeared. How could these human spirits with different minds bear it?
At the funeral, they could be silent because of Uchiha Sarana's momentum and Son San's deterrence, but they could not stop what they had to do behind their backs.
This is also the problem that Uchiha Sarana will face in the future.
Uchiha Sarana stood beside Uchiha Sasuke.
Her scarlet Maneidoscope Sharingan met her father's dark eyes. From his cold expression and dark eyes that could not reflect half of the light, Sarana couldn't find what she was looking for.
"Father." She called out this title, calmer than she thought.
"I've replaced my mother with Bai Wugui."
——White Wugui, who was married and buried, Uchiha Sasuke failed to give Haruno Sakura a wedding, but in the end, their daughter changed her into white clothes that prayed that her soul would no longer be confused and lost.
Uchiha Sarana looked at the body belonging to her mother in the coffin expressionlessly. She actually understood her father a little. It turned out that opening the kaleidoscope requires such painful emotions.
——The pain was so painful that her heart was numb, and she didn’t know whether to complain or hate.
But Uchiha Sarana knew that her future would start from here.
Carrying the love of my mother, the cultivation of my uncles and teachers, those forgiveness with resentment towards my father, and all the ninjas' bloody and desolate life.
"I am Uchiha Sarana, my father is a descendant of Uchiha, and my mother is a Thousand Handed One."
——"I want this era to change for me."
After the funeral, Hana smiled and stopped Uchiha Sasuke who wanted to leave the village.
"You are so calm, which makes me feel very uneasy." Hanayan smiled, with a smile that was even more excessive than Uchiha's calmness. "Let me guess, you made some decision, so you are not sad?"
"Who are you going to sacrifice to the second generation of Naruto's filthy reincarnation technique to resurrect Haruno Sakura?"
Uchiha Sasuke was not bothered by someone's thoughts. There was no light in his dark pupils, and his eyebrows were covered with cold indifference: "Get out of the way."
Facing Uchiha Sasuke who was fully equipped with escape, Hanayan equipped her mouth gun without hesitation: "I think you are very interesting."
"I hate my brother who killed the entire clan and started my own journey of revenge. After killing my brother, I found that there was another enemy, so the hatred moved to Konoha's top management."
"Kill Danzo, you hate Konoha, which is based on the flesh and blood of your family, so you want to destroy Konoha again. Now Haruno Sakura is dead, and no one can hate you, you will take away other people's lives and resurrect what you have lost."
"Hate lasts your life, so you always ignore the feelings others have given for you, think that those are things you need to give up, keep killing them, and then lose them."
"Is this your life? Uchiha Sasuke?"
Hana admitted that she was irritating him, so when Uchiha Sasuke drew a knife to cut a strand of her hair on her temples, Hana was still calm and didn't even move her eyebrows.
"Your hatred, which is rooted in love, has taken love as nutrients and consumed it all."
"I'll guess? You probably hate the fate of being a ninja. You don't even want your daughter to be a ninja - even if she is your only heir to blood, right?"
——That is why he accepted "Uzumaki Boruto" as his apprentice instead of teaching his daughter Uchiha Sarana.
Hua Yan opened the hideous wounds and exposed all the bloody wounds that had never healed to the sun.
Uchiha Sasuke raised a cruel sneer, and even his dark eyes filled with a breath of despair.
"Why should people like you, who have always been happy, point fingers at me as if you understand?"
What he once said to Haruno Sakura is still confused on Huayan's face.
Hua Yan showed a sweet smile, but her wine-red eyes seemed to reflect the sea of corpses and blood that stretched thousands of miles across, and were covered with white bones.
"Why should I understand you? Why should I point fingers at you?"
"I'm just asking you a question, maybe I happened to hit your heart, so you pulled my sword at me like a sting. It's that simple."
The magnificent and terrifying chakra rioted in an instant, and the huge "Susanoo" as a mountain stood behind Uchiha Sasuke like a demon, burning with the dark Amaterasu fire all over his body, like a demon emerging from hell.
Uchiha Sasuke raised his knife to Hana, and the scarlet Sharingan and the samsara eye containing terrible energy spiraled in his eyes, like a painful and ubiquitous net.
"Clang—"
Uchiha Sasuke's knife was stopped, even though his attack did not stab the vital part.
The young man with different eyes rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight, but suddenly the girl with a confused look on his face was protected in his arms. The sharp edge of the knife in his hand was sharp and steadily protected the girl.
Even though his fragile blade, which had been cut off twice, was cut out under Uchiha Sasuke's Kusanagi sword, he still did not retreat at all.
"Stop it, Uchiha Kun." Sozo said calmly, "My wife just wants to tell you that you need to consider the consequences when doing things - you still have a daughter after all."
"Resurrection of Haruno Sakura in the form of a murder sacrifice. The balance you have struggled to maintain for so many years will be broken in a blink of an eye. Don't let yourself regret it again, Uchiha Jun."
His cherry-colored hair stinged Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, and the black-haired man put away Kusanagi's sword and left Konoha without looking back.
Zong Sanzuo's eyes stared at his departure with a slightly cold look, cold and with a bit of self-deprecating compassion - as if he saw another self.
Then the next second, she was hugged.
Zong Sanzuo, who suddenly exchanged his body, felt the pain and suddenly left him. He could only watch "I" return to the knife and return the sheath, and hug him with a princess.
"Damn it!! Zong San, you scared me so much! Why did you suddenly run out? I finally got angry and wanted to fight him and knock him out and sent him to Sister Sakura!"
"Ah, you're so slandered! Wori is just a slander! I wanted to find an excuse to perfunctory Sarana, so I'd just knock him out next time! Are you okay, are you okay?! Damn it hurts so much!"
"Zong San, you are so boyfriend-powered just now! It's just a little worse than me!"
"Ahhhh Uchiha Sasuke, that tricked you almost cut off!"
"I feel that my kidneys are not very good, as if my body is hollowed out!"
Zong San looked at "he" as he ran around without expression, and suddenly felt a little desperate about the future.
"hehe."
