Don't worry, seppuku would be perfectly fine for 3rd graders...
Just use a lot of context clues.
The sword entered his gut with an audible squish, and after his stomach joined his intestines on the floor of his room, the pain was stopped by a swift slash to his neck. So ended the honorable service of [blahblahwhoever].
Hm, that was crappy. Eh. On second thought, these 3rd graders might not like the whole death thing...
One day, a messenger arrived at the palace. His name was Generic Victim, and he had an urgent message for the emperor. "All of the rice has been stolen, Oh Wise One! Whatever shall we do!" The emperor, a clever man, came up with an idea at once. "Let's scour the whole of the empire for the missing rice!" Meanwhile, back in his hovel in a mountainside, an old man dropped a large sack of grain to the floor. /I know it was a horrible thing, but what else could I do for my overly-large family? We would surely perish without this food./ thought the man.
AND THEN THE RICE IS FOUND AND THERE'S A HUGE FEAST AND THE OLD GUY IS INVITED AND EVERYONE IS HAPPY (EXCEPT THE GUY'S FAMILY, THEY ALL DIE) THE END
Argh, oh well.
