Negative Master of Konoha

Chapter 133
Two days later, the dusty Hatake Sakumo returned from the front line and returned to Konoha Village.

On the way to Hokage's office, Hatake Sakumo unexpectedly noticed a different situation. Those villagers who were always respectful to him on weekdays looked at him with resentment.

"Hmph, Sakumo Hatake has the face to come back because of him. The good situation on the front line has been ruined, and the village has lost so many ninjas." A man eating in a meatball shop saw Afterwards, Hatake Sakumo complained angrily to his companion sitting beside him.

The man's companion carefully looked at Hatake Sakumo, and when he found that he hadn't noticed the situation here, he immediately reached out and pulled the man's sleeve, and whispered to persuade him: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't let him hear you, He's a mighty ninja."

"What are you afraid of? Did I slander him? What I said was the truth." However, the man did not accept his companion's kindness, and continued to say: "How about a powerful ninja, have you seen him give up for a few companions? So a ninja with an important mission?!"

"This..." The man's companion was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know how to answer.

"Such a person who does not abide by the ninja rules is simply a disgrace to Konoha." After seeing Sakumo Hatake walk away, the man still looked resentful, and continued to complain about Sakumo Hatake with his companions.

There was no one place to hear such discussions. During the journey from Konoha Gate to Hokage's office, Hatake Sakumo heard at least [-] villagers talking quietly about him.

Without exception, these villagers are all accusing him of abandoning the mission, which has brought huge losses to Konoha.

Such words made Hatake Sakumo, who devoted himself to Konoha, violently turbulent in his heart, and an indescribable sadness gradually settled in his heart.

Under the resentful eyes of the villagers, Hatake Sakumo walked into the Hokage Building with difficulty, waiting for the punishment from the senior officials in the conference room.

Hatake Sakumo himself is a powerful ninja and the patriarch of the Hatake clan. He has made a lot of contributions to Konoha over the years, so during the two days when he rushed back to Konoha, there was an open discussion among the top management. It took several meetings before finally deciding on his punishment.

"According to the results of the discussion at the meeting, for Sakumo Hatake's arbitrariness in abandoning the mission, it was decided to cancel all the positions and titles of Sakumo Hatake, and return home and confine him for three days."

The Third Hokage took out the punishment result that had been discussed before, read it out at the meeting, and then handed over the verdict to Hatake Sakumo.

"Of order, Hokage-sama." Hatake Sakumo took the heavy verdict with a dazed expression, left the Konoha meeting room, and returned home to enforce the confinement.

After the meeting, the high-level executives left the conference room one after another. The Third Hokage called Danzo to the office alone, dispersed the guards, and stared at Shimura Danzo with an uncertain expression.

Seeing Danzo Shimura facing him calmly, Sandai Hokage frowned, and asked a little tiredly: "Danzo, why do the common people know about this matter, and the public opinion is getting louder and louder?"

"Really? Probably because the secrecy order was issued too late." Danzo sat down opposite the Third Hokage and explained lightly.

Looking at his old classmate who was pretending to be stupid, Sandai Hokage said in a cold voice: "In just two days, the direction of public opinion in Konoha can be pushed to a climax. I can't think of other methods other than you. What are you going to do?"

"What am I going to do? Everything I do is for Konoha." An icy smile appeared on Danzo's stern lips, looking at Sandai Hokage with anger in his eyes, he asked back: "If everyone Like Sakumo Hatake, if he gave up the mission for the sake of his companions, how will Konoha ensure the success rate of the mission? Once Konoha's mission success rate is too low, will there be a client who will trust the mission to Konoha? ?”

"It's too late, I hope you can grasp the measure, Sakumo is Konoha's hero after all."

The third Hokage cannot refute Danzo’s words. After all, what he said is correct. Once Konoha loses an important source of funds for mission commissions, it will inevitably affect Konoha’s development and safety, especially when Konoha is surrounded by geographical environment. Surrounded by powerful enemies.

"Don't worry, I have my own measure." Danzo snorted dissatisfiedly, got up and left, and walked out of Hokage's office.

Looking at the closed office door, Danzo sneered in his heart.

[measure?I do have a sense of proportion.However, my sense of proportion is to let Hatake Sakumo die as soon as possible to complete the truce with Sand Shinobi. 】

After returning to the headquarters of Root, Danzo once again assigned tasks to his subordinates, expanding the scope of public opinion, no longer limited to Hatake Sakumo himself, but including the Hatake clan.

Under Danzo's promotion, public opinion did not stop because of Hatake Sakumo's punishment, but because the high-level punishment for Hatake Sakumo was too light, which made the villagers even more annoyed, and the entire Hatake clan, During this period of time, I couldn't lift my head up, silently bearing the pressure from the villagers, and there was unspeakable suffering.

Three days passed in a flash, and Hatake Sakumo also walked out of the confinement room on the evening of the third day.

During these days of confinement and self-reflection, the loss of self-worth, feelings of loss, confusion, depression, sadness, humiliation, etc. have been torturing Hatake Sakumo's heart all the time, making Hatake Sakumo look much older. , The aura that was originally as sharp as a sword coming out of its body also became dark.

Hatake Sakumo, who was stripped of all his duties, naturally couldn't go in and out of Konoha at will as usual. After reluctantly adjusting his mentality a little, he was going to go to the Hokage office to ask the third Hokage to allow him to return to the front line, and do his best to prepare for the future. Contributed to the war that took place.

However, when Hatake Sakumo walked in the gathering area of ​​the Hatake family and found that even the people of the same clan looked at him with disappointment and hatred, Hatake Sakumo's heart of pride and dignity was completely shattered. .

With a relieved smile, Hatake Sakumo silently turned around and returned home, knelt on the ground, stroking a family photo full of family memories.

It wasn't until night fell that Hatake Sakumo recovered from his trance, carefully placed the photo on the table, took out a pen and paper, and left a long letter to his son.

Afterwards, Hatake Sakumo picked up his White Fang short blade and resolutely walked into his room.

With the closing of the door, Hatake Sakumo's last figure was also swallowed in the endless darkness.

The next day, Sandai Hokage and others received the bad news from the Hatake clan that Konoha Shirato, who was well-known in the ninja world, committed suicide at home.

　PS: It's my birthday today, I didn't expect to write this plot, I feel very sad.
