Konoha's Scarlet Flower Moon

The lights in Konoha Hospital are bright and orderly.

Hanazuki and Kakashi passed by wards one after another, and inadvertently, some sounds reached their ears.

"Sakumo-sama, your mission failed this time."

"It's not a failure!" Another person retorted, "Sakumo-sama voluntarily gave up the mission in order to save us."

"But this mission is so important. Isn't the mission the first rule of ninjas? You must complete the mission at any cost!"

"You! Are you going to risk your companions' death for the mission? At that time..."

At this time, another person joined the topic: "Both of you, please stop talking. Revealing the contents of the mission is a serious crime!"

Then the three people in the ward became quiet.

Kakashi stopped moving forward.

Huayue looked at him worriedly.

She knew that the person these people were talking about was Kakashi's father.

Kagetsu didn't know what the ninja code was, and the curriculum in the ninja school hadn't reached that part yet.

But Kakashi knew.

Ninjas are tools, born for tasks, so they must obliterate emotions and put tasks first.

The Ninja Code is the rules set by the Second Generation Hokage to allow ninjas to complete their tasks in a standardized manner.

But, father...did he give up such an important mission to save his companions this time?

Later, Kakashi found someone he knew, one of his father's rare subordinates who could show his face, and Kakashi asked about the ward where his father, Hatake Sakumo, was.

The jounin pointed in a direction.

After Kakashi ran a few steps, he suddenly remembered Hanazuki who had come with him.

Hanazuki gave him a don't worry about me gesture.

Kakashi felt relieved and ran towards his father's ward.

……

In Konoha Hospital, people were coming and going in a hurry.

Huayue stopped in place, thought for a moment, and decided to go to the intensive care surgery room. There were the most dangerous patients there and the best doctor—Tsunade sister!

"Life is really fragile."

After running outside the operating room with the red light on, a hoarse voice came from behind Huayue.

"Once a person dies, everything he had while alive will disappear, just like a dream."

Huayue turned around and saw the owner of the voice. She said hello to this person:

"Uncle Orochimaru."

Outside the intensive care surgery room, Orochimaru nodded to Kagetsu without paying more attention to her.

Like Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru, a direct descendant of the Third Hokage, also participated in this task, but originally he was only responsible for peripheral work.

Even so, because of the strange situation, they fell into a trap and then fought hard.

Many of his subordinates also died.

Having seen too many deaths in the war, he had become numb. But facing such a scene again, Orochimaru's usually cold eyes still showed a bit of sadness.

Orochimaru was actually seriously injured during this mission, but he used a special snake-type skin-shedding substitute technique to resolve fatal injuries, but the price he paid was that he would enter a period of weakness.

At this time, the lights in the intensive care operating room came on, and the last seriously injured patient was pushed out and out of danger.

Tsunade walked out rubbing her brows. She had consumed too much chakra and needed to rest for a while.

Because she was too focused before, Tsunade's vision was a little blurry, but she still saw Hanazuki and Orochimaru.

Tsunade came over, gently hugged the little Kagetsu, closed her eyes and rested. The symptoms of hemophobia that she had been suppressing were about to explode.

Kagetsu patted her back, and Tsunade's tense nerves slowly relaxed.

"What's going on with this mission?"

Tsunade asked Orochimaru that the consecutive surgeries and the injuries of the wounded gave Tsunade the illusion that she was still on the battlefield.

Isn't the Second Ninja War over?

"I can't reveal the contents of the mission, you know Tsunade."

Orochimaru's hoarse voice sounded
