Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide

Chapter 218 The brave dragon slayer finally becomes a dragon (two-in-one)

"Sakumo-sama!"

"Hello."

"Sakumo-sama!"

"Hello."

……

On the bustling streets of Konoha, a middle-aged man with silver-white hair was walking on the road with his children. The popularity of this man could be seen from the number of people greeting him from time to time on both sides of the road.

It was rare for a father and son to have no free time for work. It happened that his wife was away for something, so Hatake Sakumo planned to take his son to the newly opened Ichiraku Ramen to try the taste.

"Dad, let me tell you, in our last mission, we actually encountered someone who couldn't even defeat Minato-sensei and had no choice but to run away!"

Kakashi Hatake put his hands around the back of his neck and looked at the crowds of people around him who were constantly greeting his father. With a flash of pride in his heart, he couldn't help but reveal the experience of his last mission to him.

"That's how it should be, Kai!"

This young man, Hatake Sakumo, was aware of Minato Namikaze. Not to mention that he was his son's teacher, but that young man was the second person to master the Flying Thunder God after the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. The genius of the art is enough for him to take a high look.

"So, who did he meet?"

"Well...that person is Ghost Lantern Xinyue from Kirigakure Village."

"What...Dad, you are so mean!"

As a speed ninja, he knew how powerful the ninjutsu invented by Senju Tobirama was.

The spatial displacement characteristics of time and space ninjutsu were even more beyond his reach.

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, and then sat next to him as if he didn't see Gai.

Hatake Sakumo shook his head and began to tell him the story of the ghost lamp and the new moon.

When Hatake Kakashi heard this, his eyes on the mask suddenly showed a look of dissatisfaction, feeling unhappy that his father, whom he was proud of, could not defeat others.

His own family knows his own affairs, and his superb sword skills can kill people, but the tailed beast... is too strong for others.

Hatake Kakashi crossed his hands behind his neck, tilted his head and answered casually.

However, as arrogant as he is, it is impossible to truly express his feelings, and he can only express his unhappiness through such words.

boom!
"Hmm...ha! My dear friend, you are already 0:1 behind!"

"……boring."

Kakashi Hatake suddenly became interested and turned to look at his father.

The word "escape" also means that Namikaze Minato not only failed to defeat the opponent, but was even likely to be surpassed by the opponent in speed, so he quickly took Kakashi and others with him without waiting for them to appear on the battlefield. escape.

As soon as the father and son entered the door curtain of Ichiraku Ramen, they were blinded by two sudden flashes of light.

"I... I'm afraid I can't win."

"My best friend, let's start our sixty-fourth competition!"

Hatake Sakumo thought carefully and replied.

"The challenge from your best friend, the flying sweat, the running under the sunset...this is your burning youth at this moment! Don't let down this endless youth, Kai!"

Hatake Sakumo knew clearly that if it was this person, then Namikaze Minato would indeed not be easy to deal with.

"Oh, you kid, don't underestimate this world!"

And that wasn't the only thing that interested him.

"Boss, serve ten bowls first!"

"Oh? It's really not easy to let Minato escape! There are probably only a few people in the entire ninja world who can reach this level."

"Dad, is the Ghost Lantern Xinyue really as strong as the rumors say? If you fight him, can you defeat him?"

So he was really curious about who could make this young man escape.

"Ah, Kakashi!"

Two green kappas with shiny teeth were seen sitting at the front desk of Ilaku ramen, looking at them with thumbs up and the same gesture.

Although I don’t know why the smiling young man always advised him to think openly and not care too much about other people’s opinions, and even vaguely reminded him to choose his teammates carefully during the mission, Hatake Sakumo still politely agreed. Come down.

Hatake Sakumo nodded gently to the people around him and answered his son's words with interest.

Now when he heard his son talking about this, he suddenly thought of this.

"How about we compete to see who can eat more Ichiraku Ramen this time? The loser will stand on his head fifty times around Konoha!"

At this speed, even if he can't beat him, he can still survive with his speed.

Before the last mission started, the young man came to him and had a one-on-one in-depth conversation with him.

In his opinion, even if Namikaze Minato's current speed is not the best in the ninja world, it is still enough to rank in the top five in the ninja world.

Looking at the empty bowl that Metkai placed next to him, Kakashi silently took off his mask.

This lecture goes all the way to the Ichiraku Ramen shop.

"...Ghost Lantern Crescent Moon."

"okay!"

The young Otsutsuki Ichiraku responded and started to move down.

"Oh haha, dear friend, if you want to win ten bowls from me, it's not enough!"

"...I just happened to be hungry. Who said I wanted to compete with you?"

Seeing the foolish way that Metkai showed off his power around him, Kakashi suddenly felt inexplicably ashamed of his performance just now.

"Sakumo-sama, thank you Kakashi for accompanying Gai."

Just as the two were quarreling with each other, Matt Dai suddenly said to Hatake Sakumo next to him.

"Where, the two of us should be accompanying each other."

Facing Matt Dai's sudden thanks, Hatake Sakumo responded with a smile.

"No, Kakashi is an out-and-out genius. If he wants to, most children in Konoha will be willing to be with Kakashi, but Kai is different."

When he looked at his son, Matt Dai's always optimistic face no longer had the slightest smile, and his eyes showed a little distress.

"Kai doesn't have the talent of a ninja. Maybe I should have recognized the reality a long time ago. It's just my selfishness that allows him to persist on this path until now."

"I had unrealistic hopes that my son would be a genius ninja. I transplanted my own dream into Kai, eager to see in my son the ninja talents that I had been pursuing so hard to achieve."

"Kai is good. No matter how ridiculed or ridiculed, he persevered."

There was a trace of sadness in the eyes of Metday when he looked at Metkai, "However, no matter how strong he is, he is still a child after all. When he is lonely, he also needs the company of his peers. I hope this is the motivation for him to persevere. . "Not from me, from the extravagant hope of an incompetent father."

Hatake Sakumo looked at Matt Dai, and after a long silence, he put away the smile on his face.

"No, you are wrong. Kai is definitely not without ninja talents as you said. In fact, the ninja talents in him are shining brightly. I firmly believe that he will eventually become a ninja loved by the village."

Having said this, Hatake Sakumo paused and then said: "Just like you."

When Matt Dai heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

If these words were spoken by others, he would only think that others were laughing at him, but these words spoken by Hatake Sakumo gave him an unparalleled sense of belief.

Hatake Sakumo didn't wait for him to speak, and continued: "Companion is the pillar of the soul for Kai, and how can it be the same for Kakashi?"

"The talent of a ninja is certainly important, but if a ninja does not value his companions, has no bonds worth cherishing, and has no unforgettable memories with his companions, then no matter how strong he is, his heart will definitely be empty."

Hatake Sakumo looked at Kakashi, whose cheeks were bulging out from the noodles, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Ninjas should not be bound by the word 'ninja'."

Matt Dai looked at Hatake Sakumo and suddenly understood why he was so popular among the villagers.

"……thank you."

Just when Matt Dai was about to open his mouth to say something, suddenly, he and Hatake Sakumo turned their heads to the other side almost at the same time.

A masked ANBU ninja suddenly appeared there.

"Sakumo-sama, Hokage-sama has summoned us for an urgent mission."

Hatake Sakumo nodded towards the ANBU ninja, turned to Matt Dai and said: "Believe in your own heart, Kai will definitely become a great ninja."

After saying this, he greeted Kakashi and left in the direction of the Hokage Building.

Kakashi turned his head, and after taking one last look at his father's waving back, he continued to turn his head to compete with Metkai.

Little did he know that this would be the last time he would see anyone greet his father.
-

Hatake Sakumo's mission failed!
This news was like the wind, blowing through the entire Konoha in a short period of time. Everyone in Konoha was talking about the failure of the "Konoha White Fang", which caused the village to suffer heavy losses.

As time goes by, more details are gradually revealed.

Hatake Sakumo led the team and was ordered to bring back an important piece of information from somewhere in the Land of Water. It was said that this information was of great importance to Konoha.

But for some reason, this news was learned by the Kirigakure Village. While getting the information, Hatake Sakumo also ran into the Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

If it were just White Fang alone, he might be able to use guerrilla warfare to defeat the Seven Ninja Swords alone.

But the key is that he is not alone now!

Due to mission considerations, in order to ensure that this information could be safely brought back to Konoha, White Fang chose to retreat.

There is nothing wrong with this decision in theory, but for good luck, his teammate was "accidentally" caught by the Seven Ninja Sword.

The Seven Ninja Swordsman said that if he wanted to save his teammates, he had to exchange information.

On one side is information of great significance to the village, on the other side is the life of teammates.

Looking at the ninja sword on his companion's neck, Bai Ya made a decision in his mind for a long time, and had no choice but to hand over the information to the other party in exchange for his teammates.

But he never expected that when he returned to the village, this behavior would immediately cause an uproar in the village.

"...Sakumo, is this the entire mission?"

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hatake Sakumo, with no expression on his majestic face.

"Yes, Hokage-sama. I am the captain of this mission, and I also proposed the decision to exchange information with Kimi Chishima. I am willing to take full responsibility for the failure of this mission."

Hatake Sakumo said decisively.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on his face, and the originally dazzling silver-white hair seemed to have been put on a filter under the cover of the setting sun and no longer shined.

Benedict!
Benedict!
In the shadows, Shimura Danzo's figure gradually appeared.

The setting sun shined through the window and happened to shine on his chest, causing his entire face to be shrouded in shadow and unable to see his expression. Only his voice emerged in the silent office.

"Responsible? Do you know how important this information is to the village?"

"To put it bluntly, for this information, even if it means sacrificing ten jounin, it is worth it. And now, you have given up this information for a special jounin who was born as a commoner. Do you think you are doing this? Right?"

Hatake Sakumo did not directly answer Shimura Danzo's statement, but looked straight at Sarutobi Hiruzen, as if waiting for the Hokage to speak and wanting to hear what he thought about this matter.

But to his disappointment, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't say any more words except the first sentence.

Hatake Sakumo lowered his eyes and finally opened his mouth after a while.

"In order to complete the mission, I will not hesitate to sacrifice myself."

"However, if I have to watch my companions sacrifice themselves in front of my eyes in order to complete the mission, I can't do it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hatake Sakumo. Listening to what he just said and looking at his determined eyes, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

This scene seemed familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before.

Oh, I remembered it.

Twenty years ago in the Land of Thunder, when he made the choice that determined the fate of Konoha, wasn't he the same way in front of his teacher?

The same sonorous and powerful, the same from the heart, the same sacrifice of life and death.

How could this moment be so similar to that moment?

At that time, he was even willing to sacrifice himself to distract the enemy for the sake of his companions. But where is Sarutobi Hiruzen like that now?

With this thought, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally confirmed that Hatake Sakumo was indeed the inheritor of the "Will of Fire" and the best candidate to become Hokage, just like he was back then.

However, it was precisely because of this that Hiruzen Sarutobi was even more convinced of the necessity of his actions.

Because Hatake Sakumo inherited Konoha's "will of fire".

Rather than his "Will of Fire" by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Sakumo, no matter what, your private actions have caused heavy losses to the village. Please don't take on tasks during this period. Please reflect at home for a while!"

"Yes!"

Hatake Sakumo didn't say anything more, silently bowed to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, and left here.

In the room, the two people who had experienced the choice in the past were speechless.

Call ~
Sarutobi Hiruzen lit his pipe, swallowed the smoke hard with his chest, and then slowly exhaled it after a while.

He stared at the looming flame of the pipe in his hand in the misty smoke, and said as if whispering or commanding:
"Danzo, let's start the next plan!"
