Lu Lin didn't say much. The father he admired suddenly became the target of public criticism. It would be uncomfortable for anyone.

After returning home, he immediately asked his men to go to the village to inquire about the news about the several ninjas who had gone on this mission with Hatake Sakumo.

After being rescued by Hatake Sakumo, those ninjas not only did not feel grateful, but also said that Hatake Sakumo violated the ninja code. They also did not stand up to explain when Hatake Sakumo was falsely accused of leaking information.

These people have big problems.

After giving the task, Lu Lin stayed quietly in the yard waiting.

Not long after, the maids who were sent out returned home and told the news they had heard:

"It is reported that three of the ninjas who went with Hatake Sakumo have committed suicide, and the rest are also blaming Hatake Sakumo.

They said that they had originally decided to commit suicide in order to ensure that they could complete the mission, but because of Hatake Sakumo's intervention, their identities were exposed instead. "

"He committed suicide..."

Lu Lin was a little surprised:

"Is the news accurate?"

"Someone saw their bodies being carried out of their homes."

The maid nodded and replied.

Lu Lin frowned. It seemed that the person behind this was really cruel and ruthless. But this was also his usual style, didn’t you think, Guo Ying?

Of course, Lu Lin knew the mastermind behind this matter.

But the trouble is that I have to find enough evidence to prove that Guo Ying was the one who did it.

"Have you found out the true identities of those ninjas?"

"Checked it out."

The maid said:

"Looking at the way they do things, it's obvious that they are all ninjas from the Root."

"really."

Lu Lin knocked on the table:

"Then things are a bit troublesome."

All the ninjas at the root have the seal of the tongue. Any ninja who is cursed with this seal will be controlled by the caster.

So even if Lu Lin captured those ninjas, he wouldn't be able to pry anything useful out of their mouths.

Just when Lu Lin was feeling a little overwhelmed, Kakashi came.

"You mean, Sakumo-kun wants to see me?"

"Yes."

Kakashi nodded. The boy went from being cold before to being a little gloomy now.

"Let's go then."

Lu Lin nodded. There was no good solution to Kakashi's situation for the time being. They could only wait until Hatake Sakumo's matter was investigated clearly.

Soon, the two arrived at the Hatake family.

"Sakumo-kun, is there anything you need from me?"

At this time, Hatake Sakumo no longer had the dejected look he had when Lu Lin first arrived, and he looked extremely calm.

"Lu Linjun, there's no need to investigate further."

"Ok?"

Lu Lin didn’t understand what Hatake Sakumo meant. Could it be that he was completely desperate?

"You should be investigating the few ninjas who went on the mission with me."

Hatake Sakumo said:

“Those ninjas, if I’m not mistaken, should be from the Root.

If you want to get the information you want from them, I guess only the secret techniques of the Yamanaka family can do it."

Hatake Sakumo sighed and continued:

“I have figured out a lot during this time.

From the mission to the ambush, the abnormalities of the ninjas in the team, the criticism from the villagers after the mission failed, and the silence of the top management...

Perhaps, Konoha can no longer accommodate me."

Yes, the title of Sannin to the three disciples of the Third Generation was given by the target of the mission after the mission failed.

Also during World War II, Danzo always brought his Roots to cause trouble in the Rain Country, often exposing his identity.

But was there any discussion in the village? Not at all.

If the third generation had stood up to support Hatake Sakumo in this matter, there wouldn't have been such a loud noise.

But this time, the Konoha high-level officials were extremely tacit and all remained silent.

Do they think that Hatake Sakumo did something wrong?

But didn’t the second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, give up his mission and sacrifice himself in order to protect his disciples?

Lu Lin was silent for a while:

“Just figure it out.

So, Mr. Sakumo, what are you going to do now... "

Hatake Sakumo smiled slightly:

"I have been running around and fighting for the village all my life. Now it's time to live for myself."

During World War II, Hatake Sakumo made great contributions to the village, and even personally killed the Sunagakure high-ranking officials, Chiyo's son and daughter-in-law.

But what he got in return was just a mere position of Anbu chief. Bigger things, such as fame and popularity in the village, were all taken by the disciples of the third generation.

But what did they do?

Apart from having the shameful title of one of the three ninjas on the battlefield, his achievements were no match for Hatake Sakumo.

If it weren't for the death of Hanzo the Salamander, who gave them the nickname, they might never have acknowledged the title of the Three Ninjas.

"So, Lu Linjun, I'm quite interested in what you told me before. I wonder if I can go and see it for myself?"

"of course can."

Lu Lin smiled, this was exactly what he wanted. Then, he gave Hatake Sakumo an address and told him to go directly to the address and someone would pick him up.

So the two of them began to plot how to help Hatake Sakumo escape from Konoha.

As the head of the Anbu, he knew too many secrets of Konoha. The top leaders of Konoha would never let him leave, unless...

"This technique of mine can put you into a state of suspended animation. Sakumo-kun, you may have to suffer a little first."

"Do not worry."

Hatake Sakumo's face showed anticipation, a yearning for the world outside the village:

"I'd like to trouble Lu Lin-kun to look after Kakashi."

"Do not worry."

Lu Lin nodded, then formed seals with his hands, and accompanied by a wave, chakra slowly entered Hatake Sakumo's body.

However, it is only hidden in Hatake Sakumo's body, and of course he cannot activate it now, otherwise he would be falsely accused of killing the Anbu Minister.

Even if the whole village knew that he was a lousy Genin, it wouldn't work.

My reputation in the village is not very good to begin with. If I get involved in something, those two old guys in the elders' group will be fanning the flames in front of the third generation all day long.

Lu Linke knew very well that these two old guys wanted his business very much.

. . . . . .

After dinner in the evening, Lu Lin activated his chakra, and soon there was a noise outside.

After a while, Kai suddenly rushed in:

"Boss Lulin, Kakashi's father, Mr. Sakumo, committed suicide!"

"what?!"

Lu Lin stood up quickly, without even having time to put on his coat, and ran out.

Soon, Lu Lin brought Adai and Kai to the Hatake family.
