Konoha's Way of Death

Early the next morning, the villagers of Konoha started a new day's life, which seemed to be no different from usual.

It's just that the heads of the major families, core figures, juniors from each family, and ninjas all appeared in black clothes, converging towards a certain place like shadow streams.

Konoha's cemetery, where all the ninjas who died for Konoha, including the first Hokage, are buried.

Today, 120 three new positions have been added here.

All of them were ninjas who died in the border battle this time.

120Three people, 120Three living lives are just gone.

Fortunately, the targets of the attack by the Root members were Hatake Sakumo and Wakato and Kakashi, so no one here died at their hands.

As for the killed root members, Hatake Sakumo did something that was very relieving but something he had never been able to do before.

In the information scroll he gave to Sarutobi Hiruzen, he said that he had also sent back the corpse of the root.

But when Hiruzen Sarutobi opened the scroll containing the corpse, he found that there were only heads.

Hatake Sakumo chopped off the heads of all the Root members, and the heads were sent back to Konoha, but the bodies were completely burned by him.

At the place where Shinnosuke's team was attacked and fought by Amegakure, there were many pits due to the battle. The bodies were burned to ashes here and then buried directly with charcoal fire. There was no inscription or tablet.

Danzo Shimura held his crutch tightly after giving instructions. He was silent for a long time and only said: "I understand."

Then it disappeared. He was very angry. The reason for his anger was that Hatake Sakumo's move was regarded by him as a provocation against him.

As for the rest?

Oh, guys who can't complete the task are waste, and he never cares about waste. The only thing that can make him heartbroken is that he has trained fifty root members and invested a lot of resources in the end but failed to achieve any results.

The Sandaime Hokage was silent about this for a long time, and finally smiled, wrote a letter to reprimand, and then disappeared.

Why is the Sandaime Hokage afraid of Hatake Sakumo?

It's because this man is so perfect.

Strong strength, gentle personality, kind-hearted, generous to others, attaching importance to feelings, etc.

Even if the higher-ups know that certain traits are not good for being a ninja, the lower-level ninjas and villagers of Konoha don't know. They only know that the man is the most in line with their fantasy of ninjas.

But now Hatake Sakumo's actions show that he can also be angry, angry, and make some non-ninja choices based on his emotions.

No matter how strong such a person is, the Sandaime will feel at ease.

"Perhaps that little guy reminded me that Sakumo shouldn't have this kind of character." Sarutobi Hiruzen threw the root's head to the interrogation department to dig up information and so on. As for whether he could be dug out or not. not give a damn about.

If there is, great, if not, it doesn't matter.

The members of the Roots chose a good leader.

Even the Sunagakure ninjas who attacked the camp were sent back to Konoha intact, but they had no ending.

The sun was about to rise, and everyone came to the cemetery.

The Sandaime Hokage stood at the front, followed by the heads of the major families, their children and jounin, and behind them were the lower-level ninjas.

The darkness was like a whole dark cloud falling to the ground. No one spoke, only the sad sobs of the family members of the deceased.

What's even more sad is that some people don't even have anyone to cry for them.

The people under the monument fell asleep again, and the people above bowed their heads in silence for them. Only the sobs told the world that their short lives would eventually be remembered.

Maybe one day it will be forgotten, but after all it won't be today.

The funeral was over and the higher-ups returned to the Hokage Building.

This time, there are no clan heads of the major families, only the third generation Hokage and two advisors, Koharu Koharu and Mito Monobu.

Danzo Shimura failed to appear here again.

He didn't attend the early morning funeral, and he's not here either.

Because he is no longer the advisory elder of Konoha.

After returning to bed, Koharu wanted to question why Danzo's advisory powers had been taken away, but Mito Kabuto stopped him.

Although the three of them often stopped Sarutobi Hiruzen together, he knew that this was not the time to ask such questions.

Because when he returned, he also saw the information reported by Hatake Sakumo. Shinnosuke was injured. If it hadn't been for luck, he would have been buried under the inscription.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen sat down, he took a puff of cigarette and asked slowly: "What's going on over there with Sunagakure?"

Koharu went to bed and said: "Sunagakure Village issued a reward order. The announcement said that Fengsha was dissatisfied with Sunagakure Village and the third generation Kazekage, so he led his people to defect."

"Really? It's ridiculous that such a big event didn't cause an uproar in the ninja world."

"Yes." Xiaochun said after returning to bed: "It's just that you can remove your own back-up when things go wrong. They did issue a reward notice, but they deliberately suppressed it to let the information cool down."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "It's a very reasonable choice. If it succeeds, then they will take the opportunity to launch a war. Even if the war does not start, they will not lose. If they fail, they are just rebels and have nothing to do with Sunagakure. After all, those guys are wearing I’ve rebelled and protected my forehead.”

The Sandaime Hokage was very moved. This method was so different from Shimura Danzo's imagination.

They claim to be members of the Roots of Konoha, but even ninja information has been destroyed. Even if they cause trouble, they can be abandoned directly without involving the village.

This is also the reason why he can indulge Shimura Danzo. There are always some things that he cannot solve. He must hide in the dark and bite them with rats in the smelly ditch.

It's a pity that Shicun Danzo went too far this time.

After sighing with emotion, he looked at Mito Kadoen again and asked, "Is there anything Sunagakure did?"

Mito Kabuto said: "I combined the intelligence of the past three months with the dynamics of Sunagakure in the past two days, and found that they started taking action three months ago. Although it seems normal, there are signs of preparation for war. Recently The information submitted in the past two days said that Sunagakure once dispatched a thousand-man army from Sunagakure Village, but it only moved within the atmosphere of the Kingdom of Wind and had no intention of approaching the border."

"Oh, what's the current status of that army?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in a deep voice.

"We quickly approached the border, but when Hatake Sakumo and his men appeared at the border of the Land of Fire, they quickly withdrew."

"Ha, as expected." Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered.

At the same time, I felt lucky that it was Hatake Sakumo who was guarding the border, and that Hatake Sakumo was a deterrent to Suna Ninja.

If it wasn't Hatake Sakumo who was guarding the border, then Sunagakure might have really succeeded this time.

Something happened on the border and all the ninjas were killed. Whether he wanted it or not, he had to ask Sunagakure for an answer.

And if it weren't for Hatake Sakumo's intimidating power, as Hatake Sakumo said at the time, he was already exhausted after a battle. If Sunagakure had just taken action without hesitation, there would have been trouble.

"Is there anything else?" Hiruzen Sarutobi had already gotten the answer he wanted, so he was ready to deal with other things.

This is what Mito Kadenen said: "The Third Kazekage sent a letter, saying that he was grateful to Konoha for helping them deal with the traitorous ninja, but he wanted to return the traitorous ninja's body."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered, turned to Koharu and asked, "Did anything come out of them?"

After going to bed, Xiaochun shook his head and said, "They have restrictions in their minds, especially Fengsha. Even if they get some dispensable things. After all, they have been prepared for it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, he didn't have high expectations for this, but what saddened him the most but also pleased him was that he used these corpses to test out some of Shimura Danzo's bottom lines.

That means there is no bottom line and no scruples.

"Give it to them, and remember to get their bounty back."

Koharu and Mito Menyan went to bed and nodded and left here.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi had time to rest after handling the matter, he remembered that Ruo Ren seemed to be seriously injured, and Kakashi was not doing well either.

He thought for a while and made a decision.

So after Wakato woke up, he learned that those who died in the battle had been sent back to Konoha for burial, and the Hokage and senior officials were present.

I also learned from Hatake Sakumo about Sarutobi Hiruzen's treatment of Shimura Danzo, but in order not to cause too much noise, even the news of the root attack on them was suppressed.

Seeing Hatake Sakumo's seemingly happy expression, Wakato shook his head and said nothing more.

Can he say that dismissal means cold treatment and has no effect at all?

"Master, did you call me here just for this?"

Hatake Sakumo looked at Wakato's disapproving expression, smiled, and said: "Of course not, I just heard that you woke up and your injuries are almost healed, so I asked you to come over and have a look."

Ruoren curled his lips and said: "The ghost is almost fine. It's just that the minor injuries have recovered, so I took off the bandages all over my body. As for the seriously injured parts, they are just beginning to show some signs of healing. Once the movements are bigger, they will be healed." It will crack again.”

After saying that, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said to Hatake Sakumo: "By the way, Master, please take care of those medical ninjas a little bit. I just came out of the tent today, my dear, a group of people surrounded me, and they almost stopped me from healing when I started." The wounds were opened and studied."

Hatake Sakumo smiled and did not make any statement on the matter. After all, these guys almost pulled the heroes who died in the battle and cut them open to see.

So he took out a vest and a letter and handed them to him and said: "The village has promoted you and Kakashi. From now on, you will be the real chuunin."

After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh: "Two chunin who are less than six years old..."

He straightened up and said to Ruoren seriously: "You two, please live well."

Only when you are alive can you have a future.

Wakato nodded, happily receiving the vest and promotion order, and then asked Hatake Sakumo with great anticipation: "Master, I have been promoted to chuunin, will I be able to get more gold for future missions? "

Hatake Sakumo's mouth twitched, you're asking this?

He pointed at the entrance of the tent and slowly but firmly said one word: "Get out!"

Wakato grabbed Kakashi's share on the table and ran away.
