The Funeral of Xzelaxer "Three Blood" Zate.

Several clones set up a lay of logs positioned at a ninety degree angled over a flat bed of the same type of logs,The clones continue moving out stacking them high in the center of a clearing so that the Villagers left over can see there Hokage's departure to the next world.

Echo stands next to a tree twenty feet from the position of the makeshift crematory,He awaits any Shinobi of the Leaf that will come to watch...and his Brother who is needed for the actual cremation.

Clones walk from the end of the clearing to the formation of legs setting the cloth wrapped body of the Hokage onto it carefully.

Kahli stands at the very edge of the clearing watching the clones. She had come to attend the burial ceremony of the previous Hokage.

Viper walks in to the area, he awaits the clones to lay the past Hokage upon his resting place, Viper forms the tiger seal and breaths out a small stream of fire upon the bottom layer of logs, this allows the flames of cremation to start, but burn slow enough that those can pay their respects to the fall warrior.

Echo steps up standing to the Fallen Hokage's left "I am sorry..but this is all we could manage at the moment.." he speaks watching Viper's flames do there work,He turns towards the..'crowd' and frowns 'Giving a funeral speech for a Kage was something I'd never expect I'd do...' He straightens and begins speaking "The position of Hokage is one of respect More often then naught the holders of this Title die protecting there home and the people in it,it is when the Village is in peril that a true Hokage shows there mettle and risks it all for the sake of the next generation...Us." Echo states this calmly his eyes scanning gauging there reaction before he continues "When the tree leaves dance, one shall find flames. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and once again, tree leaves shall bud anew...These were the words that all Hokage live by..The Will of Fire burns within all of us and we shall use that flame to rebuild the Leaf...And we will remember those who have fallen to protect us..and those who have suffered will be rewarded" Echo glances at Viper

Dudzi stands close enough to see the fallen Kage. He was hiding on top of one of the village rooftops where no-one can see him. Dudzi looks over to see Viper Uchiha. A man who was captured by the man named Aeon and was also there at konoha's defence. Dudzi grabs his cloak and throws it on. He lifts up the hood and puts it on. He jumps down from on top of the rooftop and walks past three food shops selling Ramen. He then walks over to the funeral area. Still unnoticed by the konoha Shinobi's. He wasn't wearing his head band and wasn't wearing his normal clothes. "He was a great man...even though I never met him...I even heard that he was one of the greatest Hokage...." thought Dudzi as tears began to roll down his cheeks. Dudzi turned around and began to leave. He stopped and looked straight into Vipers eyes like he was challenging him. Dudzi then continued to walk as he began to reach the village's broken down entrance. "Well I wonder who will protect the village now" said Dudzi as he walked out the village while putting on his scratched headband. He reached the forest and thought for one last time "Maybe things would have been different if I stayed" as he left through the woods.

[Entrance & Exit]

Isumo walks up to the funeral area and looks down at the former Hokage saying "The true measure of a shinobi is not how he lives, but how he dies." Isumo turns and walks away from the Kage's body and watches from the crowd.

Sameonna would be in a nearby tree, at the top - peering down at the gathered crowd of mourners. "Hmmmm......" She'd murmur, unsure of what to do about the situation. She wanted to tell Viper that she had assisted in the slaughter of Konohagakure and their beloved Hokage. But she also knew what it could mean if she had taken the steps to do so. Viper would probably go into a bloodlust and try to avenge his loved ones through the death of her, regardless of their friendship at the moment. And Sameonna knew that if Viper was dangerous with his Sharingan on a normal day, when hes pissed - thats a whole new ball game.

"Tears...Sorrow...Pain...Cry...Why did things like this exist" Death's a miserable event of one's life. When one's death they would left a bunch of people behind them crying and suffering. Death is nothing but just an event that's unavoidable in the shinobi era. People killing each other, people battling each other, people make each other feel the pain, and all left is blood spattering all over the ground. It's not like a childplay, and not the TV show that kid has been watching where some miraclously happen all the time. In the Shinobi Era, Death are for real, and one couldn't do anything but cry. Tears are just liquid falling from the eyes when the owner themselves, feel sorrow. But why...why...why does things like this exist? Perhap, it's just a miserable fate. Perhap we need to emdure and take is. Perhap...we shouldn't be crying.

Haru walked down the new built building of Konoha after the Rebuilt just about some times ago. He glance left, glance righ with his black clothing. It's reall sad that day, the day where Konoha was destroyed. And what make him more sad...is his patheticness. How come he called himself a Ninja, when he does nothing in desperate situation but hiding behind his house and retreating like there's no more tomorrow. How come he's one of the child of the Noble Family, when he's just a coward and weak. It's suffering him, damaging him inside. And it's quite honorable for Ninja who are fighting and putting thier life on the line without caring anything. He heard that the enemies are really strong but the ninja, Viper Uchiha, Vakara Senebo, and... Xzelaxer Zate who are all from Konohagakure no Sato, tried their best to protect the village.

He's walking to the funeral, the pervious Hokage's funeral, the Three Blood guy. He's slightly late for the funeral. He squeezed himself into the crowd, depressing, heading his face down in shame. He heard that he fought his battle with Two Katana and One Spear which seem pretty strange. And he also heard...that those wepaon, Xzelaxer precious it very much. Haru glanced at the crowd that are looking depressing some mumbling something that doesn't reach his ears. He wished...if one day...if one day he died...he wanted to have the very same thing. Die in a battle to protect the village, died an honorable death. But his dream...Perhap, it's just another pathetic one. He's Weak and Coward, and he's...Pathetic.

Echo Uchiha nods at the crowd and steps away from the body of there fallen leader,His Katana wrapped in a cloth,He surveys the crowd for the saddest face his gaze stopping at the young man looking especially downcast he walks forward and offers the wrapped Weapon to him,Echo did not know if the Hokage had any family but this weapon was obviously important and needed a wielder which he deemed to this boy standing in front of him,He waits for the Young Hyuuga to take the weapon before turning away speaking a few words "Use your emotions and that blade to make yourself great,I think the Hokage would be grateful to you if you did" Echo then begins walking towards the makeshift crematory and with a few hand signs and the thrusting of his palms the flames intensify taking the Hokage's body with it the heat turning his bones and all into ash,A funeral of a Shinobi who died in battle a burial of flames so that his bodies secrets can never be used.

"Wai--Wait..Wha-What!?!" Haru jumped back slightly in surprise when the ninja just walked toward him handing him with Xzelaxer's weapon. He seem to be tongue-tied and surprise at the same time. He try to relax himself clearing his mind with all the thing that have been blocking him from speaking. He exhale a deep breath and when he found himself relaxing and calm again he continue his sentence. "Sorry, it's just too sudden but..why me? And what about this weapon?" said Haru looking at the weapon. He just stopped speaking and examine the weapon clearly. He peruse the spear, the katana, all of the weapon calmly.

He stood up in the end, nodding. He blinked and show a faint smile. "I understand it...i understand his goal...and i understand everything. It may seem strange, and nonsense but well...it can't be explain it easily. Only kid like me know it." said Haru obtaining the weapon.

He heard of it...the weapon...it just look alike. Now the nickname of the previous hokage make sense and the fact that he used this weapon make more sense. It may be long, it may seem like a Fairy Tale, it's just some legend, but the previous hokage believe in it, and Haru should too. "So the legend exist huh...Mr. Previous Hokage? That mean, those three bothers exist too? So it's time...when i shall raise up my pride, my courage, my heart, and my dream...it's not pathetic anymore. Thanks" he thought to himself.
