"Wow! What on earth is Konoha up to? Even Lord Hiruzen Sarutobi himself has come to pay respects! They're really giving Hanzo of the Salamander a lot of face," Yashamaru exclaimed in shock, staring at Konoha's funeral delegation.
Leading the group was none other than Hiruzen Sarutobi, dressed in solemn white robes. To show his respect, even the iconic red hat of the Hokage had been covered with a white cloth. Behind him marched Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and a host of other high-ranking officials. Nearly one-third of Konoha's leadership had turned out for the occasion.
"In terms of reputation, Hanzo barely qualifies for such an honor. However, I believe the Hokage must have another purpose for coming here," Yecang murmured softly.
"Yecang makes a good point. Let's not jump to conclusions; we'll respond as things unfold. Come on, let's go greet them." Jinghang donned his own green hat, also wrapped with a white cloth, and walked toward Konoha's delegation.
"Lord Kazekage."
"Lord Hokage."
