The light of leaves

Chapter 66 Death of White Fang
The next day, early in the morning.

When someone walked into the classroom, cheers resounded across the campus instantly.

"Wow! It's Mizuki!"

"Mizuki is back, our second graders are finally complete again!"

Looking at the bright smiling faces around, Mizuki was not moved much, but thought to himself, "If I am too indifferent, it will be difficult for Soseki. But what should I do now? If it is Soseki, what will he do?" Do?"

Thinking of this, Mizuki forced a smile, "Thank you, thank you everyone!"

Seeing this scene, everyone was extremely surprised.

"Huh? Mizuki laughed! Can he laugh too?"

"Haha, Mizuki has changed a lot!"

"Although the smile is a bit ugly, it's better than a cold face!"

"By the way, Mizuki, tell us how you cured yourself!"

Mizuki was already bored at first, but when he heard this, he cheered up, "You may not know, Soseki for me..."

"Oh! Wow!"

"Is it so exciting to become a frog?"

Hearing these bursts of exclamation, Asma felt a little sour, and looked at Soseki with resentful eyes, "It's too much, you didn't take me with you!"

Yibixi said with a venomous tongue as always, "What are you taking you to do? Do you practice for those doctors?"

Jing Yin's eyes were shining with stars, "Soseki-kun is really amazing, he actually completed such a super difficult operation!"

Soseki felt a little helpless, "It's still too dangerous. If Mizuki hadn't insisted, I would actually wait until I'm more certain to perform the operation."

Hong bit her lower lip and sighed softly, "Mizuki doesn't want to fall too far behind us!"

Soseki leaned back on the seat and stretched happily, "Anyway, it's finally a happy ending!"

But at this moment, Ryosuke Takitani, the "Little Smart" in the class, rushed in, "Big news, big news, first-year Hatake Kakashi has applied for graduation! Moreover, he also said by name , to challenge the squad leader again!"

Hearing this, the whole class was in an uproar.

"It's graduation and another challenge. What exactly does that one-second man want to do?"

"Does he feel that the shame last time was not enough?"

At this time, Ryosuke Takitani shook his head with emotion, "You don't even know, just last night, Hatake Kakashi's father committed suicide at home!"

……

root, in an underground darkroom.

"He committed suicide?" Danzo raised his eyebrows, and then sneered, "What a waste, this kind of person is also worthy of being a ninja?"

The oily girl Longma in a black robe echoed coldly, "Maybe it's because the gap from hero to sinner is too great!"

"That's why I said that Sarutobi's weak policy is so poisonous!" Danzo said dismissively, "A real ninja should not be bound by redundant emotions. Even if he is misunderstood by everyone, he must remain steadfast. Carry out your own forbearance!"

There was a gleam of heat in Ryoma's indifferent eyes, "Ninjas shouldn't appear in the sun. Only the 'root' led by you, Danzo-sama, is the real belonging of ninjas!"

Danzo accepted the praise without the slightest bit of embarrassment, turned around and walked into the deeper darkness, "Let the 'Root' staff shrink back temporarily, based on what I know about that hypocrite Sarutobi, he will probably use this as an excuse soon." An excuse to attack us!"

……

At the same time, in Naruto's office.

The masked Anbu ninja "Sho" is reporting to the third generation.

The third generation looked sad, "Oh, I was the one who harmed Shuo Mao!"

(Compared to Hatake Saun, Hatake Sakumo is more acceptable, here is still named Sakumo)

Xiang said excitedly, "Master Hokage, please don't blame yourself too much, Sakumo's death is all because he was too cowardly!"

The third generation smiled wryly, "Cowardly, is that how you see him?"

Xiang nodded firmly, "It's just some rumors and slander, and it's not worth paying attention to at all. Moreover, I try to make up for the mistakes I made. What kind of ninja is he who uses suicide to escape reality? Such a cowardly and incompetent person is not worthy of Master Hokage. You feel sorry for him!"

The third generation took a puff of cigarette and sighed, "He is not cowardly, even, he is stronger and braver than anyone else!"

Xiang said in surprise, "Master Hokage, you..."

The third generation put his hands behind his back and looked out of the window, "He is too smart, but at the same time he is too kind. With his intelligence, he will not fail to see the traps deliberately set by Danzang, but for those companions who want to harm him. Volunteering into the trap."

"I want to harm him..." Xiang was startled, and immediately came to his senses, "Indeed, with his 'Konoha White Fang' ability, if he carries out the task alone, the success rate will be even higher. I thought before that the village wanted him Cultivate newcomers!"

The third generation shook his head, "Cultivating newcomers will not let them perform tasks that are too difficult!"

Xiang was shocked again, "No wonder he came back from missions in the past two months and was injured almost every time. So, did he use his own strength to forcibly complete the mission?"

The third generation exhaled a puff of smoke, "But even a powerful ninja like him can't complete the task every time when someone hinders him!"

"So, I understand." Xiang sighed with regret in his eyes, "This mission failed, and those ninjas he rescued are still maliciously hurting him, making him feel desperate..."

"You still don't understand, Xiang! The reason why he committed suicide is actually because of me!"

"Ah? How could it be you?"

"You've all heard of it, right? The rumor that I want Sakumo to be the fourth generation target."

"Yes, I heard that you are interested in him and Master Orochimaru!"

"Actually, I was more optimistic about Shuo Mao at the beginning." Sandai sighed again, "But Danzo's temptation also made me see one thing clearly, that is, Shuo Mao is too kind!"

Xiang nodded subconsciously, even in the eyes of a bystander, Shuo Mao felt that Shuo Mao was too kind.

"I'm not saying it's bad, but it's not good as a Hokage! Hokage bears the future of the village on his back, and being too kind will make him make wrong decisions at the most critical moment!"

"For the sake of the village, I can only sit back and watch him make mistakes, and then let him disappear from everyone's sight!"

Xiang nodded. Many people in the village were very optimistic about Shuo Mao. If it hadn't been for Shuo Mao's own mistakes, even Hokage-sama would be very passive if he wanted to express his opinion.

"But, since Shuo Mao is so kind, he should be able to understand your painstaking efforts. Why did you make such an extreme move?"

The eyes of the third generation were much depressed, "If I guessed correctly, he probably thought that Danzo and I were suppressing him, and he made this decision in order to prevent those who supported him from breaking with the village in the end!"

"Is this the truth?" Xiang sighed regretfully, "If he could ask Hokage-sama for clarification, such misunderstandings would not have happened!"

"He won't come to me, because Orochimaru is also involved!"

"Huh? What?"

Sandai smiled wryly, "He may think that Orochimaru represents my will, and that I did this to help Orochimaru pave the way."

The elephant couldn't believe it, "How could Oshemaru-sama..."

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? Even my own disciples don't recognize me as a teacher."

Like being silent and not speaking.

The third generation waved their hands in dismay, "Go, get rid of those rumors, at least let Shuo Mao die as a hero."

Xiang nodded and turned to leave, and three generations of voices came from behind him.

"Also, let 'root' be more peaceful!"

　In episode 339 of the anime, Minato mentioned Bai Fang, and Obito said in surprise, saying that he had also heard of Bai Fang, who was said to be a hero who died in the line of duty protecting the village, indicating that Konoha finally cleared up the rumors.
