Konoha's Way of Death

A strange trend has begun to arise in Konoha recently, and rumors are flying around, all about Konoha's hero Hatake Sakumo.

People were talking about Hatake Sakumo's abandonment of the mission in order to save his companions.

This was originally a secret mission that the villagers were not supposed to know about, but they just knew it.

Clearly, someone wanted to guide the villagers' words.

At the beginning, people were divided into two groups. One group believed that Hatake Sakumo's approach of giving up the mission for his companions was obviously wrong, because it is the ninja's bounden duty to complete the mission.

The other faction believes that Hatake Sakumo's actions are in line with the will of fire, and this is what Konoha ninjas should be like.

The two groups argued endlessly.

"Hmph, Hatake Sakumo is a hero and actually gave up his mission. Doesn't he know that ninjas regard missions as their bounden duty?"

"Shut up, you dare to comment on Sakumo-sama. Is it wrong to save your companions?"

"Of course it's true to rescue your companions, but the mission is obviously more important in comparison."

"I don't think the mission is more important than the companions. Does it mean that you can even ignore the companions for the mission?"

"Of course companions are important, but you have to know what mission Hatake Sakumo was performing. He gave up the mission. It means we have no evidence to unite Sunagakure and Iwakage.

Find out, how can we win the trust of Yunyin and let them compete with Yanying like this?In this case, wouldn't we have to pay a huge price to defend the northern border? "

"You're right, the mission is very important. For you, it doesn't matter even if your companions die. Fortunately, you are not a ninja, otherwise anyone who dares to team up with you will be afraid of being betrayed by you!"

"What did you say?!"

"Don't tell me that we can't talk about it anymore?"

"..."

This matter has been discussed by more and more people. Hatake Sakumo has now become the eye of the storm. As long as there is a slight change, huge waves will be set off.

roots.

Danzo Shimura listened to his subordinate's report, his eyes as sharp as a hawk.

After his subordinates finished narrating the information, he tapped his cane thoughtfully.

"Hatake Sakumo didn't say anything?" he asked.

A subordinate said directly: "Sir, Hatake Sakumo has never said a word, and has never even appeared in front of the villagers."

Shimura Danzo snorted coldly and said: "You are really calm, but that's right. After all, there are still people who support him and think it is right to rescue his companions."

When he said this, his expression quickly darkened.

The cane stomped hard on the ground: "Humph, these stupid untouchables actually said such words, but that's right, after all, they are not ninjas."

He looked at the other person and asked, "How's it going over there, Hokage?"

The man lowered his head and said quickly: "Let me tell you, sir, Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't take any action on this, and seemed to let us do what we did."

As the shadow of a village, he is the first leader of the village no matter what.

But these guys at the root have no respect for the Hokage.

In their opinion, their only leader is Danzo Shimura.

For this reason, they even dared to assassinate Naruto, just to complete the task assigned by Shimura Danzo.

Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes and said to himself: "What a Hiruzen. He obviously wanted to kill Hatake Sakumo, but in order to avoid any stain, he chose to remain silent."

Thinking of this, he smiled coldly: "Hiruzhan, if you don't want to be contaminated by darkness, someone will have to do it, and darkness is also a part of power and power."

After coming back to his senses, he said to the people below: "We need to give those villagers some guidance and let them unify their thoughts."

"Yes!" Everyone at Root replied in unison.

...

The atmosphere is getting more and more intense, but after all, war waits for no one.

Ruoren stayed for seven days in a row, but those hiding in the dark never took action and only guided public opinion.

Public opinion is very powerful, but for some people, public opinion cannot kill people.

If it were the former Hatake Sakumo, Wakato would definitely be worried, but now, he is still willing to believe in Hatake Sakumo's character. After all, he is his master.

The war has now begun to enter the next stage.

In the first stage, Sunagakure disappeared. In order to divert attention from the conflicts in the village, he declared war on Konoha. Then the two sides began repeated tests and even a large-scale battle.

Other villages also began to prepare for war, but they were patient and did not declare war. They only stationed troops on the border. Once any village showed a flaw, it would be divided and eaten.

Especially for Konoha, which is beleaguered on all sides.

At some point, Kumogakure wanted to try fighting with Sunagakure, but he didn't expect that Sunagakure would shamelessly run there with a Shukaku Jinchuuriki, so he couldn't fight.

But after Shukaku brutally killed Wakato, it was confirmed that Ichibi Shukaku had left.

After all, there was quite a stir that time, and there was also Kumogakure who sneaked into that town together.

Coupled with the fact that Hatake Sakumo led his teammates into Sunagakure and then broke out, Kumogakure finally couldn't sit still and directly declared war on Sunagakure, then began to attack Sunagakure, turned around and engaged in Iwagakure again. Hide one hand.

This operation almost confused Iwagakure.

I haven't provoked you yet, but you came to provoke me?If I don't agree, then I won't be polite.

So the Ninja World War finally entered the second stage, and the real Ninja World War began.

Due to Kumogakure's operation, Konoha is no longer the only village with several lines of defense. After Sunagakure was manipulated by Kumogakure, he had to send a large number of troops to guard the northern border. For a time, Konoha's pressure was greatly reduced. .

But Iwagakure saw that it would be shameful for me to deal with an enemy alone, so he began to harass Konoha in the north.

When Kumogakure saw that I hadn't attacked Konoha yet, you started causing trouble, so he also started to invade Konoha's border.

In a few days, the entire ninja world was in chaos, Wakato was dazzled, and then he was sent to the northern front by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Ruoren looked at this bad old man speechlessly, wanting to grab the handful of goat's whiskers and burn him with fire.

"Don't you know I need to be in the village at a time like this?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "If there are too many people around Sakumo, they will hesitate, so I want you to take your team to the northern front and help Kakashi with him."

"In this way, Sakumo will have no worries, and in the eyes of some people, Sakumo will have no one else who can influence his heart. In this way, they may take action."

After hearing this, Ruoren narrowed his eyes and said, "It's quite a big game, but, Uncle Sarutobi, this doesn't seem like your style."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the Hokage Rock in the distance.

After a long time, he said: "Ruo Ren, I can't turn back. What I have become like over the years cannot be corrected casually, nor can it be corrected just because I want to. I just hope that I will not completely become a withered person." It’s just one last try before the branches rot. If I don’t succeed this time, then I really may never try it again in the future.”

If the person remained silent, he nodded and accepted the order and left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Wakato's figure fading away, and said to himself: "I really hope Minato, you, and Kakashi, you can grow up quickly. If I don't burn, I will really become The dead branches and leaves are causing trouble for the giant tree.”

Ruo Ren came to Hatake's house, explained the mission, and then turned around and left.

Kakashi was silent.

How could he not know about the rumors in the village recently? He couldn't do it now that he was leaving and letting his father face all this alone.

At this time, Hatake Sakumo suddenly called him into the room and asked calmly: "Kakashi, which one do you think is more important, the mission or your companions?"

Hearing this, Kakashi stared into Sakumo's eyes seriously and said, "Companions, I think companions are more important, so I agree with everything my father has done."

Sakumo smiled happily. He stood up and came to Kakashi. He put his hands on Kakashi's shoulders and said gently: "I have always been firm on this, so I will not deny it just because others deny it." My ninja way.”

He stood up and left. He paused before leaving and said, "Go ahead and do what you have to do."

Kakashi knelt on the ground for a long time before getting up and putting everything on.

When he arrived at the meeting place, Ruoren's team had already assembled.

But when he saw a guy who shouldn't be there, he was still stunned for a moment.

"Asuma, why are you here?"
