Pirates: I will first max out the domineering color if I am not dead

"The companions you saved are also opening their mouths to accuse you."

Xia Le said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, Sakumo's body trembled visibly, and his face instantly turned pale.

His eyes first flashed with disbelief, and then a flash of despair and gloom.

Compared with the pressure of public opinion in the village, the betrayal and accusations from friends were the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Sakumo clenched his fists, feeling a little dizzy and suffocated.

In an instant, he felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole world. The light around him disappeared, leaving only endless darkness.

"do you know?"

"If I were you, I wouldn't choose to bear the pain, anger, unwillingness and frustration myself!"

Suddenly, a voice came.

Sakumo raised his head, his narrow vision expanded again, and he could see the man on the other side clearly.

The feeling of suffocation slowly dissipated, and he began to breathe heavily.

"Your choice was not wrong, was it?"

Xia Le smiled lightly.

Raising the cup in his hand, Sakumo was stunned for a moment before lifting the cup as well.

"Ding~"

The two wine glasses collided, making a pleasant sound.

"Ninjas are human beings too, and they also feel sad when their friends and relatives pass away."

"Compared with the failure of the mission, the death of a friend is also unbearable."

"For you, no matter which one you choose, there will be regrets."

Xia Le said slowly.

Sakumo was silent.

"This is not the reason why you should be blamed. There is a big hand behind public opinion."

"Your friend just couldn't bear the pressure and compromised for it."

Xia Le's voice is calm, but has the ability to soothe people's hearts.

Sakumo frowned, but he soon figured it out.

"So, if I were you!"

Raising his head suddenly, Sakumo stared at the other party.

"What would you do?"

Xia Le put the wine glass on the table, smiled faintly, and only asked: "Do you know Uchiha Madara?"

Sakumo was startled.

"The Uchiha clan and the Senju clan joined forces to create Konoha. Their original leaders were Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama."

"As for the First Hokage, Hashirama was originally going to recommend Madara!"

"But he was stopped by his younger brother, the second generation Senju Tobirama, and these words happened to be heard by Madara who happened to be passing by by chance."

Sakumo was stunned and listened carefully.

This story is undoubtedly a secret.

"What's even more incredible is that the Uchiha clan at that time was tired of war after experiencing a long war."

"And Madara is a complete militant!"

"This also resulted in that, as the clan leader, he was abandoned by the clan without hesitation."

"That day, under the afterglow of the setting sun, Madara left alone. His shadow stretched very long under the red light."

Xia Le said slowly.

Even though Sakumo didn't see it, he could already feel Madara's loneliness at that moment just by listening to it.

Compared to the other party, his own affairs seemed to be nothing.

"call!"

He let out a long breath, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you!"

"I'm much better now!"

Xia Le smiled slightly.

"Madara chose to leave, darken himself, and become Konoha's enemy."

"how about you?"

Sakumo's face froze, and his whole person seemed to be frozen.

Chapter 481 White Fang is missing

Uchiha Madara!

Hatake Sakumo didn't know much about the story of such a legendary character.

Today was the first time he heard it.

Xia Le's words relaxed the tight string in his heart, but at the same time, the words that followed made him feel heavier again.

The failure of the mission and the opposition of his friends are about to break his originally strong heart.

The enemy cannot defeat him in terms of strength, but the coldness of his friends and colleagues around him will make him collapse.

In a daze, Sakumo seemed to feel that he had been abandoned by the world. The friends and companions who once stood together were now standing on the opposite side.

This is an indescribable feeling that can make people feel scared and frightened.

What should he do?

Xia Le stared at the other person quietly, and could clearly feel the hesitation and confusion in Shuomao's heart at this moment.

"Life is like this. No matter what choice you make, you will regret it later."

He slowly stood up and prepared to leave.

Sakumo raised his head and looked at him confused.

"Sakumo, this is a crucial moment in your life."

"How you choose can only depend on you!"

Xia Le stepped outside and walked outside.

When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.

"But no matter what, you have to remember."

"You still have a good friend like me who stands firmly on your side!"

"I put myself in the situation you faced and came to the conclusion."

"I would make the same choice as you!"

Sakumo was stunned, and soon he asked: "What about now?"

"Put yourself in my current situation, how would you choose?"

He was really confused and didn't know what to do, so he asked urgently and anxiously.

Such confusion and panic should not appear in a strong man like him.

Hearing this, Xia Le was silent at first, then chuckled.

"I never spoil anyone!"

The casual and decisive words left Sakumo stunned for a moment.

The other party did not respond directly, but he had already given him the answer.

Don’t indulge anyone, don’t submit to anyone’s will?

That is, follow my wishes!

Then.

"What do I want?"

Sakumo murmured.

His thinking was unknowingly brought to another dimension and he began to think new.

Gradually, White Fang, who calmed down, began to realize that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the village since he returned to the village.

"so!"

"Why exactly?"

"Do you want to force me to death?"

Cold words mixed with anger came from his mouth.

-

The meeting regarding Hatake Sakumo was held in the Hokage Building.

When Xia Le arrived, almost all the important people in the village were already there.

Inside the venue, there was a lot of noise and discussion.

"Elder Xia Le!"

Fugaku waved to him, Xia Le nodded and walked over to sit next to him.

He scanned the whole place and found that almost all the wealthy families in Konoha, large and small, were here.

The Third Hokage was wearing a bamboo hat and had a smoking pot in his mouth. His face buried behind the bamboo hat could not be seen clearly as the smoke filled the air.

On one side were Danzo, who was expressionless, Mito Kadobu, and Koharu who were sleeping next to each other.

Opposite Uchiha was the Hyuga clan. Looking further, the three members of the Ino, Deer, and Butterfly clans were also sitting there quietly.

After just a quick glance, Xia Le closed his eyes.

He knew very well that the business had not yet begun at this moment.

The conference room is not small and can accommodate more than a hundred people.

Time passed, and figures arrived one after another, and then found their positions, some sitting and some standing.

This ranking is obviously related to the family's status and strength in Konoha.

In the end, there were about fifty people in the conference room. Obviously, just the main members of each family.

"Cough cough!"

The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was sitting on the main seat and suddenly made a sound.

Everyone immediately fell silent and looked at the man who was in his prime.

"Now that we're almost here, let's start the meeting!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

"Concerning White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, and the failure of the mission, you can express your opinions."

His words made everyone present's eyes flash slightly.

But for a moment, no one spoke.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, then relaxed his brows, and said with a faint smile: "Just now, didn't you guys have a very heated discussion?"

"Why is it misfiring again now?"
