There were too many bodies to take at once.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura left a portion of the ANBU Squad to guard the bodies, taking the majority of the ANBU Squad with them.
Night Light requested permission from Captain Huang Quan, stating he was willing to stay there until the Leaf Ninja transporting the bodies arrived.
Yellow Dog naturally agreed.
The reason Night Light wanted to stay was that he didn't want to follow Danzo.
Danzo had already transplanted a Sharingan into his left eye.
That bandaged eye patch must have a high-level Sealing Ninjutsu carved onto it, isolating all Perception Ninjutsu, to prevent the Uchiha Clan from knowing he possessed a Sharingan.
Night Light pondered, he needed to find a way to deal with Danzo's Mangekyo Sharingan.
After the Fox Squad finished organizing the ANBU Squad's bodies, Night Light stood beside the bodies, watching the Senju Clan members organize the bodies of their clansmen.
In the distance, Senju Flower Wood was surrounded by the Senju Clan's only remaining five Jonin.
In this sealing, the closer a Ninja was to the center of the seal, the stronger they were, and the faster they died.
All six Elite Jonin of the Senju Clan had died, and out of more than 30 Jonin, only Senju Flower Wood and the remaining five were left.
At this point, the sealing ended, and the pressure suddenly eased, an unshakeable sadness appearing on the faces of Senju Flower Wood and the others.
Jonin Senju Nan was saying something to Senju Flower Wood, who only numbly assented, her brain actually close to collapse, having lost the ability to think.
Senju Flower Wood's eyes shifted, and she saw the Fox Squad.
This was not normal, tonight was far too abnormal.
The Uchiha Clan's Susanoo had strangely appeared on the Nine-Tailed, leading to her mother Uzumaki Mito's unexpected early death.
Then, when Linmu died, his face was filled with grief and confusion, as if he had suffered immense grievance and encountered something that was difficult for him to accept.
Unfortunately, it was too chaotic when the Nine-Tailed rampaged, and Linmu didn't even leave a dying wish.
Everything was too strange.
Senju Flower Wood stared at the Anbu Ninja, then recalled Danzo's hurried arrival before the sealing.
Danzo had not come from Konoha Village, but from the direction of the Land of Rain to the northwest.
This sealing was full of doubts.
If it weren't for Kushina's two bursts of power at the end, all the Ninja of the Senju Clan would have died here.
Who wanted to put the Senju Clan to death?
The first person Senju Flower Wood suspected was the Anbu.
Before the sealing, Linmu and the Konoha high-ranking officials had already had several fierce conflicts regarding Kushina's future arrangements.
Senju Nan asked, "Haki, are you listening to me? We've decided to nominate you as Clan Head."
"Sorry, I was a bit distracted," Senju Flower Wood said:
"Tonight, contact Tsunade on the front lines and tell her everything that happened here, exactly as it was, without missing a single detail. Especially the Anbu's performance and Danzo's appearance."
The Senju Jonin's face showed surprise: "Haki, are you saying..."
"Shh!" Senju Flower Wood said:
"Any Ninja Clan can betray Konoha, but the Senju Clan cannot. I don't mean anything else, I just want Tsunade to know the details."
What Senju Flower Wood had to do had to be kept secret from most of her clansmen. She then said, "Please ask Kato Dan to return to the Village; I need to see him as soon as possible."
Senju Flower Wood thought, Kato Dan has the forbidden Ninjutsu, Spiritual Transformation Technique, which allows his soul to leave his body and act.
Investigating the Anbu openly would be suicide; only Kato Dan could silently and secretly gather intelligence.
Even the Anbu would not be able to resist Kato Dan's investigation.
This matter must be kept completely confidential; no one can know about it.
The four ANBU Squads involved in tonight's sealing, as well as Danzo's two assistants, are all within the scope of the investigation; the true culprit must be found.
Senju Flower Wood quickly adjusted her gaze; when she looked at the Anbu, it no longer carried scrutiny or hatred.
Night Light looked at Vortex Kushina on Senju Flower Wood's back, and the two large Sealing Scroll next to Senju Flower Wood, it was worth all the effort he had put in.
The Senju Clan had preserved some of its strength, and as long as it still had a voice in the Village, there was no fear of Danzo monopolizing power.
After a while, Kushina woke up.
She saw the neatly arranged bodies in front of her and burst into tears.
Uzumaki Mito, and Linmu, had been so good to her.
Kushina tugged at Senju Flower Wood's hand, signaling her to bend down.
Senju Flower Wood's heart was shaken as she listened to Kushina's account.
Kushina actually said that there was someone from the Uzumaki Clan among the Anbu Ninja!
That person had twice infused her with Chakra, and the Chakra contained powerful sealing power, helping her seal the Nine-Tailed.
No wonder Kushina had two bursts of power; it turned out to be because there was a Uzumaki Clan Spy within the Anbu.
Even Linmu didn't know about this.
Senju Flower Wood thought that when Kato Dan investigated, he must be careful of everything and not directly kill, to avoid accidentally harming the Uzumaki Clan Spy.
Several hours later, a large number of Konoha Ninja arrived, and they transported the bodies of the Senju Clan and the Anbu back to the vicinity of the Memorial Stone.
The next day, in front of Konoha's Memorial Stone.
More than half of the Ninja in the Village, dressed in black, arrived here.
The grandmother of Konoha, the wife of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, Uzumaki Mito, passed away, representing the official demise of the founding generation of the Village.
The founding generation, the brothers Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara, and the previous one or two generations of Clan Heads from various Ninja Clans, had all died for different reasons.
After Uzumaki Mito's death, Konoha was completely handed over to the new generation of Konoha, represented by Hiruzen Sarutobi, with no more constraints.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood at the front, presiding over Uzumaki Mito's funeral.
"I still remember the first time I met Uzumaki Mito, I followed Tobirama into the Senju Clan Grounds.
That was the grand wedding of the First Hokage and Uzumaki Mito.
Uzumaki Mito, together with the First Hokage, poured their hearts and souls into the initial establishment of the Village.
The First Hokage is gone, Tobirama is gone, and now, Uzumaki Mito is also gone.
Although they are gone, their most precious legacy, Konoha Village, has been passed down.
We will uphold the will of the founding generation..."
Night Light, dressed in Anbu attire and wearing a mask, stood at the back side of the crowd.
How should I put it, the Third Hokage spoke with such emotion that many people around him shed tears.
Danzo stood in the first row, and Uchiha Clan Head Uchiha Zhong did not pay much attention to Danzo.
It seems Night Light's guess was correct; Danzo's bandaged eye patch had a Sealing Ninjutsu that blocked perception.
It's just that he didn't know where he got the Sealing Ninjutsu from; could it be that Senju Tobirama had researched Sharingan transplantation during his lifetime, so he left some notes?
Senju Tobirama's abilities were almost tailor-made for the Uchiha Clan.
Water Release restrains Fire Release, Body Flicker Technique restrains Sharingan, and Darkness Ninjutsu restrains Genjutsu.
Transplanting the Sharingan, Senju Tobirama probably did experiment with this idea.
Next to Uchiha Zhong was the Uchiha Young Clan Head Uchiha Fugaku, who had just graduated from the Ninja School this year.
After the funeral, most people left.
Uchiha Zhong, accompanied by Uchiha Fugaku, expressed condolences to Senju Flower Wood privately.
Sharp shouting attracted the attention of others.
"Uchiha Zhong! You must give me an explanation! Where exactly were you last night?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head, glanced at the hysterical Senju Flower Wood, then at the bewildered Uchiha Zhong, said nothing more, and continued to walk away.
Uchiha Zhong repeatedly explained that he was in the Clan Grounds last night, and many people could vouch for him.
Uchiha Zhong had learned about the Senju Clan's plight last night and knew that Senju Flower Wood was blaming the Armored Susanoo on the Uchiha Clan.
He said that he himself couldn't even use Susanoo, so it was definitely not him, nor was it the Uchiha Clan.
No matter how Uchiha Zhong explained, Senju Flower Wood simply didn't believe him and argued even more fiercely.
Uchiha Zhong finally had to say that he would visit to apologize after Senju Flower Wood calmed down.
Once everyone had left, Senju Nan asked doubtfully, "Clan Head Haki, was it really the Uchiha Clan who did it?"
Senju Flower Wood did not answer.
She wanted to muddy the waters, openly pursuing the Uchiha Clan and deliberately creating conflict.
Everything was a cover, a cover for Kato Dan's investigation.
