Naruto's Six Paths

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage frowned, while Hatake Sakumo opposite him had a calm expression.

"Sakumo, if you really want to retire, don't think about it."

"Hokage-sama, I have decided that you don't need to persuade me anymore."

"But Sakumo, the Second Ninja War has just ended, and the village is in the midst of internal and external troubles. If you leave, it means that the village lacks an important combat force in case a war breaks out."

"Hokage-sama, you are joking, it doesn't matter if I am missing from the village. Now the younger generation has grown up.

Children such as Jiraiya's disciple Namikaze Minato and Tsunade's disciple Mihara Katsuki can become the pillars of Konoha. "

"I admit their excellence, but now they are too young to support Konoha."

"Then I can only ask Hokage-sama to bear more responsibility." After saying this, Hatake Sakumo turned around and left.

When he walked to the door, he happened to meet Danzo and two advisers pushing the door open.

Danzo glanced at Hatake Sakumo and his face suddenly darkened, "Hatake Sakumo, I heard the conversation between you and Hiruzen just now. Do you have any dissatisfaction with the village?"

"Yes" Hatake Sakumo replied expressionlessly.

"What did you say?" Danzo looked shocked, wondering if he heard correctly.

"I said, I am dissatisfied with the village," Hatake Sakumo repeated in a calm tone.

"Hatake Sakumo, do you know what you are talking about?" Koharu, who was sleeping next to him, stood up and said.

"I know exactly what I am talking about. It is precisely because I am dissatisfied with the village that I came to resign with Hokage-sama. From now on, there will be no Konoha White Fang, only Hatake Sakumo who is idle at home."

"Is this your decision? You didn't follow the rules, caused the mission to fail, and now you choose to escape. People like you are useless in the ninja world," Mito Kadoen said.

Hearing these words, Hatake Sakumo and Furui Muha's eyes fluctuated. He glanced at Mito Kado and asked with a hint of ridicule, "I'm trash, what are you?"

Mito Kadoyan was stunned for a moment, and then became furious. No one had dared to speak to him in this tone since he became a consultant elder.

"You who can only play tricks behind my back, what right do you have to accuse me? What do you think you have done? I don't know. I didn't take action against you because it was for the sake of Lord Hokage."

"What do you mean, Hatake Sakumo? You mean we spread the rumors in the village?"

"I didn't say that. You admitted it yourself. I can fall at the hands of the enemy, but I don't want to die at the hands of my own people." After saying this, Hatake Sakumo left without looking back.

Mito Kadoen was so angry that he was trembling with anger at Hatake Sakumo's words. He really knew nothing about Hatake Sakumo being framed this time. Not only him, but Koharu who was sleeping with him also didn't know anything and manipulated this matter. Danzo and I were the only ones from beginning to end.

Of course, it seems to Mito Kaden that Danzo is as uninformed as he is.

For so many years, the three of them would tell each other about any actions they took, and it was impossible to execute them quietly, so Mito Kadoen felt that Hatake Sakumo was a mad dog biting people indiscriminately.

But the Third Hokage didn't think so. He had already controlled the person who leaked the secret from the Anbu. With the help of the Yamanaka clan, the Third Hokage read from that person's mind that Danzo ordered him to steal Hatake Sakumo. Report of mission failure.

In the view of the Third Hokage, this matter was planned and miscarried by Danzo and his three brothers from beginning to end. Originally, Hatake Sakumo was rescued and the Third Hokage did not want to pursue this matter, but today Hatake Sakumo came to resign. , Mito Katoyan had this attitude again, which completely angered the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage was already tolerant of these old comrades. He acquiesced in their establishment of roots and some of their deviant behaviors, but he really couldn't accept these three people doing such things that destroyed the foundation of the village.

"Danzo, from today onwards all actions of the root must be reported to me. The same goes for Yan and Xiaoharu. You must inform me of any actions, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

"What do you mean, Hiruzen, to doubt us?" Koharu asked with a cold face when he went to bed.

The Third Hokage couldn't be completely cruel to his old comrades. He replied in as calm a tone as possible, "I didn't mean it. I just thought you were too tired recently and wanted you to take a rest."

"Sun kills you"

“That’s enough, this matter is settled, you can go out too.”

After the Third Hokage restricted the rights of Danzo and two advisory elders, there was an uproar in the village.

Many families sent people to find out why the Third Hokage made such a decision. As a result, they got even more shocking news. Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo announced that he would no longer be a ninja and would retire completely.

For a time, rumors spread in the village. Some villagers reflected on themselves, some scolded Hatake Sakumo for being cowardly, and some of the more radical ones even went to the Hatake clan's territory to denounce Hatake Sakumo.

This incident left a very deep impression on the young Kakashi. He didn't understand why his father, who was respected by everyone before, was now reviled by so many people. Are the rules of the ninja world so important?

Kakashi also thought about asking Hatake Sakumo why he became like this, but every time he walked to the door of Hatake Sakumo's room, he didn't have the courage to open the door and go in. He still can't forget his father lying in a pool of blood. That scene in.

Kakashi, who couldn't understand this, could only focus all his energy on executing the mission.

One day in April of the 40th year of Konoha, Mihara Katsura had been away from Konoha for more than 4 months.

Kakashi, who completed a large number of C-level tasks and some B-level tasks, was officially promoted to Chunin.

It happened that Namikaze Minato's team was missing one member, and the Third Hokage inserted Kakashi into Namikaze Minato's team out of the idea of ​​taking care of Kakashi.

In the same year, Jiraiya, one of the Sannin who had left Konoha for more than two years, returned to Konoha Village.
