A breeze blew and the leaves rustled.

inside the house.

Taichi and Kakashi sat opposite each other, the atmosphere was dull.

Each person had a cup of tea and just sat there without saying a word.

“Ahem, um… don’t take it to heart. I think Uncle Sakumo’s approach is right.”

Taichi couldn’t hold it in any longer and tentatively comforted Kakashi.

“I know, but…”

Kakashi’s voice was hoarse, he hesitated to speak, and his eyes were full of sadness and confusion.

Seeing Kakashi like this, Taichi felt uncomfortable. No matter how he tried to comfort him, it would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. He had to start from the root cause.

“Um…is uncle Sakumo here?”

Tai said softly.

Kakashi raised his head, looking tired.

“Dad is at home, but…”

“I’ll go see him.”

Taichi stood up and interrupted Kakashi’s words, as long as he was at home. Taichi was afraid that due to the butterfly effect, Sakumo would change his place and commit suicide.

If it happens, it will really make heaven and earth unable to respond, and the earth and earth will become inoperable. No matter how powerful you are, you will not be able to use it.

“Taiyi!”

Kakashi suddenly called out to Taichi.

Tai stopped and looked back at Kakashi.

Kakashi’s expression changed, he seemed to have made up his mind, and there was a hint of prayer in his tone:

“Taiyi, please!”

“give it to me!”

Looking at Taichi’s back, Kakashi didn’t know why he thought Taichi could solve this problem, but he was just looking forward to it in his heart.

Walking through the dark corridor, Taiyi stopped in front of White Fang’s room.

“Uncle Sakumo? Are you there? Can I come in?”

There was no sound from the room, but Taichi could hear breathing in the room, so Sakumo should still be alive.

After a while, Sakumo still had no intention of letting Taichi in.

Tai thought for a moment, then opened the door and walked in.

In the room, Sakumo was kneeling facing the window, with the short sword named “White Fang” placed in front of him.

After closing the door smoothly, Taichi walked slowly to Sakumo’s side.

Liu Yun slowly unsheathed his sword, and Tai Duo held the sword in his hand and slowly said:

“Do you need to introduce the wrong person? Sakumo-senpai.”

Seemingly shocked by Taichi’s words, Sakumo raised his head and looked at Taichi.

The rumors during this period of time made Sakumo visibly look older, with a few more gray hairs.

Coupled with the ninja’s accusation, Sakumo’s eyes already showed a strong desire to die.

After glancing at Taichi, Sakumo said nothing and continued to lower his head and look at “White Fang” on the ground.

Putting Liu Yun aside, Taiyi sat down and said slowly: “Let me tell you a story, Uncle Sakumo.”

Sakumo didn’t respond, Taichi didn’t care, and just started telling stories.

“Once upon a time, there was a general, a very powerful general. He had experienced hundreds of battles and had great achievements in battle. He conquered a large territory for the daimyo.”

“But, the daimyo is old, and the daimyo’s heir is too young. The daimyo is afraid that the heir will not be able to restrain the accomplished general, so he came up with a vicious plan.”

Speaking of this, Sakumo’s breathing became heavier.

Taiyi saw that it was effective, so he continued talking.

“The daimyo arranged a very strange task for the general. Although the task was very strange, the loyal general accepted the task without thinking too much.”

Taichi emphasized the four words “loyalty”, and Sakumo’s breathing became heavier.

“Of course, the general’s mission failed. Although the general who came back with the remnant soldiers did not receive any scolding or punishment from the daimyo, various rumors gradually spread among the people that the general’s mission failed, and even the remnant soldiers that the general brought back with his life They also began to accuse the general.”

“In the end, the shogun couldn’t bear the huge pressure and ended up killing himself. The heir succeeded in taking the throne, the daimyo enjoyed his old age, and everything returned to peace, as if the shogun had never existed.”

After the story was told, Sakumo’s breathing became very heavy, his fists were clenched tightly, and his joints turned white.

“Oh, by the way, the general left behind a son who lives alone.”

Taiyi didn’t forget to add another sentence to add to the fire.

In fact, this story is very rough, but it is not important. The main purpose is to divert Sakumo’s attention.

“Why!”

A hoarse growl squeezed out from between Sakumo’s teeth.

Of course Sakumo knew that the general mentioned in Taichi’s story was him and that the famous name was Hokage, but Sakumo didn’t want to believe that the third generation would do such a thing.”I don’t believe that the third generation would do such a thing.”

Sakumo’s voice sounded again.

Taiyi shook his head and said in a low tone: “A daimyo does not refer to a person.”

Sakumo raised his head sharply and stared at Taiyi, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.

Taichi felt uncomfortable being stared at by Sakumo, but he still said bravely: “Since you failed in the mission, there have been so many rumors. Why did the village not intervene at all, but let it go?”

“It’s not the acquiescence of the top management. If the top management wants to, these rumors will disappear without a trace in an instant.”

Sakumo’s eyes flickered. Taichi was right. As a shadow-level expert, Sakumo knew the village’s methods very well. In this village, there was nothing that the Hokage couldn’t do, as long as he wanted to!

But why? Is it true, as the story says, that the general is more powerful than the master?

Although Sakumo is also one of the Hokage candidates, Sakumo has never thought of becoming Hokage. This is the dream of most people, but it is not Sakumo’s dream.

As long as there is no mission, Sakumo stays at home, so why not fight for it?

Sakumo’s clenched fist made a “clicking” sound.

“I never wanted to be Hokage, not to mention, Orochimaru and Minato are not the kind of incompetent heirs.”

Tai smiled slightly.

Very good, Taiyi is still worried about how to put the blame on certain people, now, the opportunity has come.

“Of course Orochimaru and Minato are not, but these two are not the only ones who want to be Hokage. There are always people in high positions who want to go one step further.”

“While using the name of doing good for the village, he secretly does some dirty things, and he also claims that he is a root buried deep in the ground.”

Taiyi is calm on the surface, but turbulent inside.

I’ve said it so straightforwardly, but you still don’t know who this pot belongs to?

Sakumo’s expression was very ugly, with a series of complex emotions changing constantly: anger, grievance, confusion, and disappointment.

Then he sighed deeply.

“The third generation will not allow him to do this.”

“He doesn’t need to do anything. He just needs a little guidance and then just watch the show. As for the third generation, whether he succeeds or fails, it will not have any impact on the third generation.”

At this point, Tai paused, and then said in a very special tone: “They are friends, um, very good friends.”

Everything has been said so clearly, and the blame has really been placed on certain people. If Guomao still wants to end itself, Taiyi will have no choice.

The room was quiet again, except for the sound of the two breathing.

After a moment, Sakumo said hoarsely: “What should I do?”
