Naruto's Struggle of Fate

Chapter 74 White Fang's Fatherly Love ([-])
"But I didn't expect that you, like me, died so early..." After hearing the story of Kakashi's past, Sakumo sighed.He was only 35 years old when he was forced to commit suicide. Unexpectedly, Kakashi was not even 20 years old when he died in battle.

Did my suicide affect Kakashi's luck?Sakumo sighed inwardly, facing the wounded Kakashi, feeling guilty.Maybe, at the beginning, I should have been tougher instead of choosing to compromise.However, it is useless to say these things now, time cannot be turned back, and life cannot be restarted. Who told me that I only knew how to kill the enemy, but was full of beautiful fantasies about the high-level Konoha?
Shuo Mao's heart turned back and forth, his thoughts were like a tide, and finally turned into a sigh.Forget it, you don't need to regret the choice you made.The only consolation is that after experiencing so much sorrow, Kakashi's heart has become more tenacious, and it is time to acquire the secret inheritance of the Hatake Sword Technique. This is what I, a father, should do!

"Father, I have always wanted to ask you." Seeing that Sakumo was lost in thought, Kakashi hesitated a little, and finally asked, "Why does the hero father, known as Konoha White Fang, ignore the important regulations of the village? How about interrupting the mission in order to save my companion? Otherwise, my father would not attract criticism, and thus be forced to go to a dead end, I am not reconciled!"

Kakashi's tone was flat, and the thunderstorm night when he was a child appeared in his mind.He pushed Shuo Mao's room away and found his father curled up and died silently, the unreconciled grief was transmitted from the tip of his toes to the tip of his hair.At that time, he clenched his fist so tightly and stood next to his father's body all night until he was exhausted.

Many years have passed, and Kakashi's heart has been untied a lot, but the unwillingness to lose his father's love and honor has been engraved deep in his heart for a long time.Because Shuo Mao died in a shameful name, there was no decent funeral after death, and he was not even able to enter the mourning garden.

Even if Shuo Mao caused losses to the village, didn't Shuo Mao also make great contributions to the village?All in all, the merits outweigh the demerits.However, regarding the handling of Bai Fang's suicide incident, Konoha's senior officials did not make any statement and let it go.Shuo Mao's past achievements were selectively forgotten by people.

That's it, man, even if you do 99 bad things and you end up doing one good thing, people are happy that the prodigal son is finally back; but if you do 99 good things and you end up doing one by mistake Bad things, but people criticize them in words and pens. You, you can’t keep it at the end of the festival, why did you learn to be bad?
When he was alive, Kakashi would definitely not tell anyone about these thoughts, not even Akai.Now, he thought he was dead, and seeing Shuo Mao's soul again, he finally opened his heart and expressed his unwillingness.

"Really? It seems that you have had a hard time too!" Shuo Mao raised his head and said with a wry smile.Not reconciled, yes, no one would be reconciled to such a situation!Kakashi, it is not my intention to make you suffer so much, my intention is to allow you to grow smoothly.

Sakumo kept some words in his heart and didn't want to explain them too clearly to Kakashi.During the short time of getting along, Sakumo had somewhat figured out Kakashi's character, and he might feel a little unwilling, but Kakashi's deep love for Konoha was unquestionable.Tell Kakashi all the truth, how he gets along with his companions after returning to the village, maybe, it will cause disaster instead.

Kakashi is still too young, how can he deal with the two immortals of Konoha?At the beginning, the mission assigned to Sakumo by Danzo and Sarutobi was a dead end.The reinforcements he had sworn to promise were nowhere to be seen, and what was even more strange was that Yunyin Village seemed to have received the news long ago and was waiting to ambush him, Konoha Baiya.

To the left, or to the right, that is the question?Task, or companion, which is more difficult?Shuo Mao knew very well that this was a dead end, no matter what he chose, he would be ruined.

Choosing a mission, ignoring the lives of his companions, and returning to the village, he will definitely be stigmatized as cold-blooded, and who else will accept him.Choose a companion, give up the mission, and the result?The responsibility for the defeat in the battle was all placed on his head, which made him unable to speak clearly. No one would discuss why Konoha did not send reinforcements.

Konoha Baiya's strength and reputation far surpassed that of the Hokage series. Under the psychological comfort of Konoha's safety, Konoha's high-level executives made a small plan and finally self-destructed the Great Wall.After Sakumo's death, the battle between Konoha and Yunyin Village continued for many years without taking any advantage.Whose fault is this? Konoha's official history textbooks are very clear.

Sakumo's soul was placed in Kakashi's spiritual consciousness, and the bystanders could see clearly the sinister intentions of Konoha's higher-ups.Since Danzo and Sarutobi came to power, they have always fought against one faction. As long as there are forces that grow too fast in Konoha Village, they will try their best to suppress them.The Uchiha clan, I am afraid that they will have to follow the fate of the Hatake clan.

Konoha, what's the matter?Sakumo thought painfully, Konoha had so many talented ninjas, why they fell one after another after growing up, and the few young strong men who were still alive would rather wander around than live in the village.

"Kakashi, do you love the village?" Sakumo asked abruptly.

Kakashi was taken aback, do I love the village?His eyes became a little blurred, and he thought of Obito, Lin, and his companions in the village, and said in his mouth, "I should love the village, because there are many companions in the village. They are all flesh and blood, affectionate and loving. I love the village." They also love the village."

Sakumo smiled gratifiedly, and said: "Kakashi, you love your companions, so you should be able to understand my choice. The village is too abstract and illusory. Even if you have love in your heart, this love must be implemented in specific people and people. In terms of things. It is the fellowship of the village and the friendship of the companions that make people have a sense of belonging to the village. At the beginning, I chose to save the lives of my companions, but if God gave me a chance to do it again, I thought, I will make the same choice."

Although the rescued companion stood up and accused me, I knew he couldn't help himself.These words in Shuo Mao's heart are only clear to him.How could a majestic generation of strong men in the ninja world commit suicide because they couldn't bear the accusations? Couldn't they choose to fade out of Konoha and live in seclusion from now on?What really forced Shuo Mao to commit suicide was that Gen issued an ultimatum, he had no choice whether to protect the senior or the junior.

Shuo Mao had no choice.

"But father, no matter what the ending is, father has tried his best, and now I can finally understand father, you are my pride now!" Kakashi has been brewing these words after the death of Obito and Rin, imagining with.

Understand, but if you know the shadow behind you, how can you understand it?Some things, not knowing is better than knowing happiness.Sakumo smiled wryly in his heart, accepted Kakashi's understanding, and said softly, "Thank you!"

"Father······"

"It's great to talk to you, thank you for forgiving me." Sakumo stopped Kakashi who was about to continue talking, "This way I can go on the road with peace of mind, but before I go on the road, I have to send A gift from you is a late father's love!"

Sakumo stood up, stared at Kakashi, and smiled with relief, "Kakashi, it seems that today is your birthday, and you caught up with the good times!"

"Birthday? I forgot!" Kakashi looked surprised. How many children whose parents died early would care about their birthday.

"But I can't forget it! Because..." Shuo Mao hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself, because your mother had a difficult delivery, and your birthday is also the anniversary of your mother's death, how could I forget it!But Sakumo couldn't mention this to Kakashi. He looked at Kakashi lovingly and said, "Because... I am your father!"
