Chapter 49 The Disappearance of Hatake Sakumo

"Have you heard that Lord Bai Fang's team has failed in this mission?"

"No way, with Master Bai Fang's strength, even the Third Kazekage is no match for him, how could..."

"I heard that it was to save my companions, and then delayed the time of the mission. That is an S-level mission, hey..."

After the New Year's Eve, Hatake Sakumo came back, but the news circulating in the village made Jie a little uneasy. He recalled that he had seen the picture through the time travel, cheap dad may not be able to pass his own test.

Self-blame after the failure of the mission, the blame of his teammates, and, in his own heart, he must be stronger.

"I'm back." Sure enough, after exchanging glances with him, Hatake Sakumo returned to his hut, Zed was still worried, he stretched out his hand to beckon, and Kakashi came to him obediently.

"elder brother."

"Well, Kakashi, how is your recent practice?"

"I think I can graduate from Ninja School ahead of schedule."

"Oh? You are only five years old, and you want to graduate early?"

"Yes."

"Where's Kai, has he mastered the three-body technique?"

"No, but his physical skills are getting stronger and stronger, and he can already open up to three doors."

"Not bad, how did the two of you perform in the recent competition?"

"I was caught up by him, and I lost two more games."

"What is it?"

"Holding your breath underwater and jumping rope."

"Ah, did I invent the rope skipping? Didn't I remember that you could jump thousands of times in one breath before?"

"That guy, the way of the competition is that every time he takes off, he must pause for a breath in the air."

"Oh, Kay is getting smarter."

"Heh" Kakashi's face was full of disdain, counting all the records, he is still in the lead, and, after these few failures, he will not give Kai a chance to catch up with him.

"Brother, about Dad..."

"It doesn't matter Kakashi, after you graduate from the ninja, you will also join the team led by the ninja, so you should understand."

"what?"

"Teamwork, the importance of your peers."

"Brother, what is a companion?"

Zed fell into a brief silence. The two of them were sitting on the steps in front of the house, and behind them was the master bedroom. Sakumo Hatake was also inside at this time. With Zed's current strength, he could almost hear He heard his slight breathing.

"What is a companion? Maybe, just like Shinnosuke and Zhiwei."

"Since I was a child, these two guys have stayed with me. When performing tasks, I can stand in front of Teacher Duan and fight back while blocking the pursuers, while they can only cooperate with each other to perform ninjutsu. , At the beginning, I used to feel that they were actually a burden."

"However, when you are tired, that guy Shinnosuke can conjure up food at any time. He will laugh and amused you when the mission is in crisis. You can't use the shuriken and ninjutsu of the enemy. When dodging, it can help you resist."

"Zhiwei is the ninja in charge of scouting and tracking in the team. Of course, he is also the main force guarding Teacher Duan's body in many cases. His chrysanthemum jade is very strong."

"A companion is a teammate who will never betray, and also a back that can be relied on. I think the meaning of a companion should be greater than a mission."

"However, one of the ninja's rules is that missions are sometimes more important than lives, and no matter when, never give up on missions."

Zed looked at him seriously, "Then when you were in the ninja school, did you learn one thing, everyone must learn a suicidal ninjutsu?"

"This..." Kakashi tried hard to recall, but he remembered this one, "In order to prevent us from being captured alive by the ninjas of the enemy country when we were performing missions in the enemy country or on the battlefield, we used illusion to torture information, so..."

"So, if you are a teammate you can really trust, I think, knowing that you are captured and the mission may fail, in order not to let your teammates come to save you, you should choose to commit suicide."

"But what if after being captured, he has lost the ability to kill himself?"

As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, a breath in the corner of the room became a little heavier.

The corner of Jie's mouth was slightly drawn, "Then it must be saved."

"Even if the mission fails, facing the punishment in the village, facing the possible consequences after the mission fails, and the dissatisfaction of the companions?" Kakashi asked several questions in succession, all because of his resentment these days , How could he not have heard the news circulating in the village.During the questioning, his tone was also a little annoyed.

"We still need to be saved."

"Why?" Kakashi's eyes widened, puzzled.

In the room, the figure really wanted to ask these words, but he still held back, his self-control was much stronger than Kakashi's.

"Kakashi, who is your closest person?"

"Father, mother, and... brother."

"Well, that's fine. If my brother and I are captured by the enemy, will you come to rescue me?"

Kakashi's face was full of black lines, "No."

"What?" Jie was a little surprised this time.

"An enemy that even my brother can't beat, I go, isn't it to die?"

"You guy, really..." Jie smiled wryly and shook his head, "Your companion, that is, your relatives, is also the person you care about the most. You may not understand now, if you have experienced such pain, Maybe you know it too.”

"When Teacher Duan died, there were only two words left in my mind, revenge."

"So, I killed Ebizo, and the failure of a mission does not mean anything. The stronger the ninja, the greater the reputation in the ninja world. When you perform missions, many times, the enemy ninjas will immediately Dodge, or even give up the mission, but since the enemy is prepared, the strength should be able to compete with your team, or someone has leaked information."

"Brother, what do you mean..."

"I'm just guessing. After all, I just found out that this mission was sent from that place in the village."

"Isn't it Anbu where my brother is?"

"Konoha, besides Anbe, there is another place."

"What's that place?"

"Kakashi, you will know in the future."

The conversation between the two fell into silence.

"I understand, brother, what you mean is that the companion is more important than the mission. If the companion is lost, then what's the point of completing the mission? , will always be uncomfortable, and will never be able to wipe out the pain in my heart."

"Well, well, I am also very relieved that you have learned so much. By the way, Kai should be in the small forest. Today, I want to take a look at the results of the two of you who have cultivated for so long. You Let's compete with him with physical skills."

"it is good."

As the two left, the sound of footsteps gradually disappeared, the sliding door of the room was opened, and a burly figure came out from inside.

"Sakumo-kun, you haven't eaten yet." Mieko poked her head out of the kitchen with a concerned expression.

"No, I'll go out first."

"Ah, is there another mission?"

"No, but I may be out for a while."

"it is good."

This trip, that is, more than half a month, at this time, Kakashi has successfully graduated from the ninja school.

"Master Jie, I have your letter." On this day, Jie who had just changed from Anbu's dressing room was a little tired, but when he walked to the long street, he received a letter from the postman.

"Oh, thank you." Jie stretched out his hand to take it, and glanced at the signature on it, "Sakumo Hatake", his face beamed with joy.

However, when he opened the letter, his face became more and more ugly.

"Jie, the direction I'm going this time is the Land of Winds, the place where the mission was performed before. On that day, I overheard the conversation between you and Kakashi, so I want to take a look. When the mission was performed before , Is it because we were ambushed in advance, or someone leaked the information about our mission in advance."

"There, there are ninjas from the Kingdom of Wind stationed there all year round. If I don't come back, I will rely on you to take care of my family."

Jie's pupils shrank slightly, and he put away the letter casually.

When he returned home, he didn't tell anyone else the news, even Kakashi and Mieko kept it secret. He faintly sensed that something was wrong, but because he trusted Hatake Sakumo's strength, so, Temporarily forget the suspicion in my heart.

Until the 40th year of Konoha, after Kakashi had been promoted to Chunin, Hatake Sakumo had lost news for a year.

Zed came to the office of the Third Hokage.

"Jie, I know that Shuo Mao's disappearance is a big blow to you, but why don't you think about it, Anbu doesn't have the mission of the Kingdom of Winds now, if you want to go at this time..."

"If there are no missions with unlimited duration, I think, leave Anbu." Zed's face was very serious. If he continued to stay in Anbe, he might not be able to get away. However, Hatake Sakumo has been missing for so long, he Impossible not to look for.

"Okay, come back as soon as possible." Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly seemed to be a few years older. Indeed, working day and night puts some pressure on him who is gradually aging, and Sakumo Hatake is even more important to him. Talents, even Kage-level combat power, the lack of such combat power is also a loss for Konoha.

As for Jie, although he was worried that he would leave alone, compared to Hatake Sakumo, for some reason, he trusted Jie more.

After all, not long ago, he had personally taught Jie the A-level ninjutsu shuriken shadow clone technique. Of course, that was also because Jie introduced the S-level Thunder Dungeon Ten Thousand Thunder Heaven Prison into the Book of Seals reason.

"Take care." His expression was complicated, and he didn't know what to say before Jie left.

"Yeah." Zed nodded slightly. The disappearance of Hatake Sakumo could no longer be hidden from his family. He is now the pillar of the family and must bear the burden of the family. What Kakashi and Mieko longed for was to find Back to Sakumo Hatake.
