The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 17 Death of White Fang
"You don't even have full hair, and you want to fight with me?"

Rikimaru didn't pay attention to Asma's threat at all, and couldn't stop despising him, completely forgetting that he was younger than Asma.

"Rikimaru, let's go to your store and help."

Obito chased up from behind, and talked to Rikimaru enthusiastically.

Although he knew that this guy was following Cengfan, Rikimaru did not refuse, "I'll leave today's bowl to you."

"no problem."

It has become a habit of Obito to go to Rikimaru's snack bar every day after class to eat.

Of course, he didn't eat for free, he was busy when he arrived in the store, not to mention that Yuzu likes this hardworking little guy very much, even Rikimaru has changed his sense of Obito, no matter what Obito is, he The kindness of the heart is real.

Riki followed his mother in the snack bar until night, and now their business is very hot, even many ninjas come to eat here, if the store is not too small, the business will definitely be better.

However, when he was helping in the store today, there were a few Chunin conversations that caught his attention. Although he didn't listen to them completely, he got a rough idea.

"Have you heard that Lord Bai Fang's mission failed this time, and it also caused great losses to the village."

"Yeah, I've heard that too. This is the first time Master Bai Fang has failed in a mission since he became a ninja. It's really unimaginable that a big man like Master Bai Fang would fail in a mission. The strong."

"What's so strange about this is that no matter how powerful a person is, there will always be mistakes. What's more, this time I heard that Lord Bai Fang chose to give up the mission because he wanted to protect the lives of his companions. It's not that the mission failed. Totally his fault."

"It's better for you to stop talking. It's not good to be overheard. Lord Bai Fang is not something we can talk about casually."

"..."

When Rikimaru heard this, he immediately realized something was wrong.

Because in his memory, Kakashi's father, Konoha Shirato, seemed to commit suicide in shame and anger because he failed in a mission, failed to get the understanding of the villagers, and was complained about being betrayed by his rescued companions.

If I didn't guess wrong, it should be that node now.

After the Second Ninja World War, Konoha Sannin's name is loud enough, right?

But only those who really live in Konoha Village can understand that Konoha Sannin is actually ranked after Konoha White Fang in terms of prestige in Konoha Village today.

After all, Sannin only became famous in the middle and late period of World War II, and Konoha Baiga had already rampant in the ninja world during World War II.

Perhaps Sannin's achievements in the future will be higher, but so far, Konoha Sannin is definitely not as good as Konoha White Fang.

Konoha Baiya did not die on the battlefield, but died under rumors. For Konoha, it was definitely a huge loss, but anyone who knows Konoha's history knows that Konoha Baiya's death was nothing more than a death in Konoha Village. The result of the faction dispute.

Although he was emotional, Rikimaru didn't think he had the ability to change everything. When Sushige Hatake returned from this mission, his fate was already doomed. He died not only because of gossip, but also because of his own pride. , it is a personal choice and has nothing to do with others.

It is said that Muye Village is the safest and most harmonious village among the Five Great Ninja Villages, but it is not true. The degree of danger in Muye Village is absolutely high.

The two major factions, Hokage [-] and Danzo [-], have never stopped fighting since the third Hokage ascended the throne. Muye Village spent the next few decades under the struggle of these two major factions. , so the degree of danger in Muye Village is also extremely high.

Facts have proved that Rikimaru's worry has become a reality. For a while, the village is full of discussions, and the protagonist is naturally about Konoha Shirato.

This is actually not a very serious accident, but because it is related to Konoha Baiya, coupled with the guidance of caring people, the matter naturally intensified, and now the whole Konoha Village is full of discussions about Konoha Baiya.

It's fine if it's just a discussion, but the rumors evolve too fast, catching Sakumo Hatake's temporary abandonment of the mission, which led to the failure of the mission and the heavy losses suffered by the village, which made Sakumo Hatake's reputation very bad bad.

In less than a month, Muye Baiya, the hero of Muye Village in the past, has turned into the village's villain, the chief culprit in bringing down the village.

Although there are many witty people in the village, at this time, except for a few people from the third generation of Hokage, no one stood up to defend Hatake Sakumo, not even Hatake Sakumo himself.

In fact, even if Sakumo Hatake stood up, there was no way to justify it, because the companion who was on the mission with him also stood up and reprimanded him, thinking that Sakumo Hatake should not give up the mission in order to save himself. It hurt him.

And when the rumors spread, this person committed suicide, so Hatake Sakumo couldn't explain it even more clearly.

Since the rumors about Sakumo Hatake became more and more serious, Kakashi Hatake never went to the ninja school, and Rikimaru never saw Kakashi again, which made all the teenagers in the elite class very strange .

Finally, Sakumo Hatake, who stayed at home for three full months without going out, chose to end his life in the middle of the night. When he was found the next day, his body had already been completely cold .

When Rikimaru found out about this, it was still a few days later, because the village kept the secrecy so good that only a few people knew about Hatake Sakumo's death for a few days.

After Hatake Sakumo died, the rumors disappeared naturally, but this incident brought a great blow to Konoha Village.

Konoha Baiya, known as a hero, did not die on the battlefield or at the hands of the enemy, but died under the blade of his own people's words, which can be said to be extremely miserable.

Bai Fang's funeral was also very simple, only a small number of people participated in the funeral, Li Wan wanted to go, but a child like him did not have the qualifications at all, and it was a pity that he never saw the legendary Konoha White Fang.

The news of Bai Fang's death soon spread throughout the ninja world, and all the ninja villages cheered when they learned of Bai Fang's suicide.

During the Second Ninja World War, all the major ninja villages suffered from Konoha Baiya, and even several major ninja villages formulated a countermeasure against Konoha Baiya. Abandon the mission.

Just from this point, it can be seen that the major ninja villages are afraid of Hatake Sakumo. Now that this big Buddha is gone, the major ninja villages who are competitors are naturally very happy.
