Become a Master from Hokage

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, the ANBU ninja was obviously moved.

After all, in his heart, Hatake Sakumo was always the god-like ANBU minister.

He was also very relieved that his idol could still receive the treatment he deserved despite committing suicide.

At the same time, Danzo also received news of Hatake Sakumo's suicide.

Although he felt a little regretful, he didn't have too many regrets.

Although he had no intention of killing Hatake Sakumo, since Hatake Sakumo couldn't bear the pressure and committed suicide, it only means that Hatake Sakumo was not a qualified ninja.

What's more, Hatake Sakumo's death cleared the way for him.

His death was not worthless.

……

Back at Hatake's house, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already arrived at the room where Hatake Sakumo committed suicide.

Glancing at Kakashi who was kneeling on the ground in a daze, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt guilty in his heart.

Then he looked at Hatake Sakumo who was in a pool of blood. With so many years of ninja experience, he could confirm with just one glance that Hatake Sakumo was really dead.

"Hey~ Sakumo, why are you doing this?"

Looking at Hatake Sakumo, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

Walking to Hatake Sakumo, Sarutobi Hiruzen squatted down gently.

Picking up the letter next to him, he saw the words "Hatake Kakashi personally signed" written on the envelope.

Looking at Hatake Sakumo's closed eyes again, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed again in his heart.

Walking to Kakashi's side, Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned down and patted Kakashi's back gently.

"Kakashi, the deceased has passed away, you must protect your body. I believe that even Sakumo's spirit in heaven would not want you to be like this."

Saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen put the letter in his hand into Kakashi's hand.

Kakashi raised his head, his childish face expressionless.

He no longer knows how to face the world, so even after Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived, he still did not move.

Now, looking at the letter in his hand, Kakashi couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

The familiar font filled Kakashi's heart with both anticipation and fear.

Gritting his teeth, he opened the letter in his hand.

He really wanted to know why Hatake Sakumo made such a choice.

……

"Kakashi, when you read this letter, you and I will be separated forever."

"Dad is not a qualified ninja, nor a hero. So, don't bury dad in Konoha's cemetery."

"When I die, you can bury me in the Hatake family's land."

"Before he died, the one thing dad worried about the most was you. I didn't take care of the family's prosperity."

"From now on, you are the leader of the Hatake clan. I hope you can lead the Hatake family to a new peak in the future."

"Thank you, Kakashi!"

"Also, be sure to remember what dad said when you were practicing together these past few days."

"Finally, don't bear grudges against the village. All this is my father's choice."

……

At this point, the content of the letter stopped abruptly.

And Kakashi had already burst into tears.

He also said that a ninja who is recognized by his peers is a great ninja.

As a result, he committed suicide at home because of the failure of the mission to rescue his companions.

I obviously can't remember what he said.

However, no matter how painful his heart was, Kakashi still had to obey Hatake Sakumo's instructions before his death.

He stood up from the ground, tried his best to look like the leader of the Hatake clan, and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen in a choked voice:

"Hokage-sama, my father has told me that I hope the body can be buried in the family land."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was filled with sadness. Of course he also saw Hatake Sakumo's letter.

But just after seeing it, his guilt towards the Hatake family deepened.

At this time, upon hearing Kakashi's words, the idea of ​​​​letting Hatake Sakumo be buried in the Konoha Cemetery was abandoned.

Although Hatake Sakumo knew too many secrets, he had no reason or inclination to stop others who wanted to be buried in the Hatake family's clan.

After a reply, Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed.

……

After all, the Hatake clan is a famous ninja clan. Although it has declined, the funeral of the former clan leader Hatake Sakumo still took three days to prepare.

On the day when Hatake Sakumo was buried, the entire Konoha fell into sadness and self-blame.

The news of Hatake Sakumo's suicide has spread, which makes the Konoha villagers who were accusing him not long ago feel full of guilt and confusion.

Because of their accusations, one of Konoha's protectors and an undefeated god of war fell.

From now on, Konoha White Fang will no longer have the reputation to suppress enemies and protect itself.

Until this moment, these people felt panic and regret.

But none of this has anything to do with the Hatake clan.

Under the leadership of Hatake Kakashi, the few remaining members of the Hatake clan carried Hatake Sakumo's coffin and walked out of Konoha silently.

From Konoha to the Hatake family land, several people walked for half a day.

On the way, no one used chakra.

They were paying tribute to Hatake Sakumo, the legendary clan leader.

……

Hatake Sakumo has been buried, this is the consensus of everyone.

After everyone from the Hatake clan returned to Konoha that afternoon, the leader of the Hatake clan was confirmed to be Kakashi Hatake.

All this made Kakashi, who was only nine years old, confused.

However, what no one knows yet is that on the night when Hatake Sakumo was buried.

A supernatural incident occurred in the Hatake clan's territory.

……

In the middle of the night, Hatake Sakumo's grave suddenly began to tremble, as if something was about to rush out.

Finally, with a soft sound, a big hole suddenly appeared in the tomb.

The coffin was originally buried, but at this time, the coffin board had been violently rushed in from the inside.

The big hole was formed by the impact of the coffin board.

Hatake Sakumo, who was originally lying in the coffin, now sat up with a pale face.

Although he used the secret technique of the Hatake clan, he successfully faked his death for several days.

However, the blood that was shed was not fake.Coupled with not eating for four days, Hatake Sakumo's body was extremely weak.

Fortunately, my prediction was not wrong and the plan was successful.

Hatake Sakumo looked at the surrounding environment and thought with emotion.

He tried to break open the tomb just now, but it took a lot of effort and he slowly crawled out of the coffin.

Fortunately, there were many sacrifices in front of the tomb, and Hatake Sakumo couldn't take care of them at this time.

Besides, eat your own sacrifices, no matter what goes too far.

After a hearty meal, Hatake Sakumo's physical strength has recovered a lot.

After restoring the grave to its original state, Hatake Sakumo looked in the direction of Konoha.
