Konoha's New Third Hokage

Chapter 137 The Fallen Samurai
Konoha 16 years——

It is already a year after the end of the Ninja World War, and the Ninja Village no longer needs to maintain a state of wartime alert. Except for the Anbu Ninja who are still performing alert tasks, the overall atmosphere is in a relaxed direction, a grand scene of living and working in peace. .

Because Tobima intends to promote the emergence of civilian ninjas, in order to make civilians willing to send their children to schools, he formulated some measures that are beneficial to the lives of civilians. The land of the family will not be much worse.

Compared with the past, civilians live better in Konoha Ninja Village. They don’t have to think about other things. They just need to work diligently to cultivate the land. Unknowingly, they have a sense of belonging to the village. It's what Tobima wanted to see.

In addition to civilians, there are also some people who have come to Konoha Ninja Village from thousands of miles away. They are mainly composed of merchants, craftsmen, or declining samurai families——

Some adventurous businessmen are interested in the business opportunities behind the complex relationship between Konoha Ninja Village and the Land of Fire, and hope to expand their business further. Those who bet on the future came to Konoha Ninja Village;

In the first ninja battle, the consumption of ninja tools needed by Konoha Ninja Village was astonishing, and the ninja family alone could not meet the demand, so craftsmen who took a fancy to this came to Konoha Ninja Village one after another to This mutual benefit;
In the first ninja battle, except for the ninja village, the status of the samurai was once again reduced. The various conflicts caused by the war caused some samurai families to lose their means of making a living, almost no different from civilians.After a fierce ideological struggle, they decided to change course and abandon their ancestral samurai status, but joined the emerging ninja group.

The Hatake family is one of them, and their ancestors were also a well-known samurai family, but the impact of the ninja village system established by Senju Bashirama on the samurai shook the samurai's thinking.Those warriors who were stubborn and refused to change all went to the country of iron, and the rest could not be said to have lost the tradition of warriors, but at least they had changed their thinking.

If there was no impact from the war, the Hatake family might continue to live as a warrior, but in the end they were implicated by the government, their status plummeted, and even life became troublesome.Fortunately, the current Patriarch is not a pedantic person. When he learned that his family had no hope in the samurai class, he resolutely defected to Konoha Ninja Village.

Although a samurai does not know how to use ninjutsu, his physical fitness fully meets the needs of a ninja, and his skills are also excellent, but his methods are not as good at sneak attacks as a ninja.In the ninja school, their learning progress is faster than others, and Sakumo, the only son of the Hatake family, is particularly outstanding among these people.

Hatake Sakumo is seven years old this year. He has received strict training since he was a child, and he is very proficient in mastering the family sword technique. If you judge by strength alone, regardless of the ninja principle, Hatake Sakumo is among the best among his peers Yes, and in the ninja school, he also learned some ninja methods. Even if he can't use them proficiently, he must know how to deal with them. The teachers of the ninja school are very optimistic about his future.

Although they came to Konoha Ninja Village with nothing, for special groups like the Hatake family, Ninja Village directly gave them land to live in, and it was better than ordinary people.There are only two people in the Hatake family now, the owner Isshin Hatake and his son Sakumo Hatake. Because of the previous failures, Isshin Hatake has no ambitions and only hopes that his children can gain a foothold in Konoha Ninja Village.

To his delight, his son came back not long ago and told him that he was valued by Kami Ninfeng Mori Masaki of Konoha Ninja Village, and he would soon leave the ninja school to study under his sect.

Since he chose to come to Konoha Ninja Village, Hatake Isshin naturally conducted some investigations on Konoha Ninja Village. Although he couldn't find out the deep-seated things, it can still be found out that Masaki Kazemori is a student of the Second Hokage , did not expect to be such a character.

"Sakumo, we must cherish this opportunity and study hard under the teacher's door." Hatake Yixin said, "We are a family of warriors, and we are out of place in this village. If we want to integrate into this village, we must rely on the help of the senior management of Ninja Village. "

"I know, father." Hatake Sakumo looked at his father, showing a "don't worry" smile, "I have long decided to live as a ninja."

"Well, in more than ten years, who would have thought that the Hatake family would one day join the ninjas." Hatake said with a wry smile, "Sakumo, it's great that you can accept it so quickly, I'm still worried You won't understand."

——How can it be impossible to understand, I care more about you, father, than whether you want to be a samurai or a ninja.

Seeing his father's thinning body, Hatake Sakumo felt very uncomfortable. Don't look at how quickly Hatake Yixin came to Konoha Ninja Village. In fact, after all, it is a century-old warrior family. let go?

Although Sakumo Hatake is very young, he is intelligent, sensual, and has a unique insight. His father conceals it very well, but he still sees it. His father is by no means as relaxed as he seems. Since So, how could he burden his father for his own sake?
Therefore, Hatake Sakumo has always been very obedient, and he decided that he must rely on his own strength to allow the family to gain a foothold in Konoha Ninja Village.

Afterwards, Hatake Sakumo got a notice from the teacher, where he was going to meet Masaki Fengmori, and about his two teammates.

In the ninja school, he knew that the ninja team would generally be in the form of three people, which imitated the combination of the three ninja family alliances of Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi, and was unanimously recognized in the first ninja battle, so now It is used more and more widely, even for apprentices.

"I don't know what kind of people the other two are." Hatake Sakumo was a little nervous. He knew that he was from a samurai family. Just like samurai didn't like ninjas, ninjas didn't like samurai either. In Konoha Ninja Village During this period of his life, he has felt the eyes of his surroundings.

It is precisely because of this that Hatake insisted on letting his son learn from Masaki Fengmori, so that he could be recognized by the ninja, integrate into the village, and become a part of it. This kind of inseparable feeling is really uneasy for outsiders like them.

Hatake Sakumo went out very early this day and came to the place where he was scheduled to meet. It is said that this place is for people to practice. The different identities of students, some are public, some are private, and the one where Sakumo Hatake is obviously private.

Masaki Kazemori, a student of the second generation of Hokage Senju Tomona, was born in the Fuzemori family and was taken in by the Senju family during the Warring States Period. Later, due to his outstanding performance in Konoha Academy, he was accepted as a student by the current Hokage to teach skills.During the first ninja battle, they raided the rear of Yunyin Ninja Village, cut off the food and grass, and cut off the silver horn arm of Yunyin Zhiguang. This action forced Yunyin Ninja Village to retreat, buying time for Ninja Village to adjust its deployment... …

Hatake Sakumo silently recalled the rumors of Kazemori Masaki in his heart. In the ninja school, all the glorious experiences of Konoha Academy children like Kazemori Masaki were told to every student, which made many people Everyone respected him, and Hatake Sakumo also felt that this person was very powerful.

"I don't know what kind of person he is, but I hope we can get along well." When Hatake Sakumo was looking forward to it, he suddenly felt someone approaching, and quickly turned his head to see a boy walking slowly towards here.
