Konoha Steady King

At night, the Hagi tribe lurking in the dark is like a peerless magic weapon hidden in a scabbard. Anyone and forces who covet it have to consider whether they can withstand the attack of the magic weapon.Although the Hatake clan has never been truly prominent and has always been at the lower-middle level among the ninja clan of Konohagakure, it was not until Hatake Sakumo's generation that he truly became famous in the ninja world.

As long as Hatake Sakumo survives for one day, the Hatake clan will be a famous ninja clan in the village, even if their clan members are few.Moreover, according to Hayama's observation and speculation, Hatake Kakashi, Hatake Sakumo's son, is a rare genius. In time, he will definitely inherit his father's name and dominate the ninja world.Moreover, Hayama believed that Kakashi was one of the few original protagonists he knew and would definitely prosper in the village in the future, so he did not hesitate to stand up for him that day.Otherwise, Hayama will just destroy the root ninja instead of killing it. After all, being too sharp does not fit with his style.

While Hayama was squatting silently watching the Hatake clan, a hand stretched out from the darkness and patted his shoulder.

Hayama's body suddenly tensed up, and his hands that seemed to be resting on his knees turned into afterimages. In an instant, he took out a kunai in his right hand and stabbed it behind his back. His left hand condensed a large amount of fire attribute chakra, ready to create an explosion at any time. Get away.

"it's me."

A faint voice made Hayama stop his movements. After his cheek twitched a few times, he silently slowly released the chakra condensed in his left hand into the air.

"Sakumo-sama, this is a big joke." Hayama said helplessly.

Although Hayama is not a perceptive type of ninja, there are not many ninjas in Konoha Village who can quietly touch his back.After years of fighting on the battlefield, Hayama is extremely sensitive to the fluctuations in the air and chakra around him. Without this ability, he would have died on the battlefield long ago.

Hatake Sakumo was wearing family clothes, a rare white one, and said: "You are too vigilant, but your reaction ability is good, and you have not slacked off in these years."

Hayama stood up and looked at the tall Hatake Sakumo behind him. Only then did he realize that his face was full of fatigue. It was not fatigue from performing high-intensity tasks for a long time, but mental fatigue. The sharp eyes in the past were no longer there. dim down.

"I wonder why you invited me here tonight? If you want to ask for help, just ask someone to help you."

Hatake Sakumo shook his head and said nothing. He pointed at the clan land in front of him and disappeared in an instant.Ye Shan pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then entered the Hatake clan's mansion.

From the outside, the residence of the Hatake clan looked neat, clean, dignified and solemn. However, once inside, Ye Shan discovered that many places in the mansion were overgrown with weeds, and even the walls had many cracks, giving it a dilapidated and desolate appearance.

Seemingly aware of Hayama's gaze, Hatake Sakumo looked around and said calmly: "When I was a child, this place used to be very lively and the place to live was not spacious. But then there were fewer and fewer people in the tribe, and finally My branch is the only one left that is still passing on.”

Hayama remained silent. He knew what caused the Hatake clan to have fewer and fewer people. He also knew what caused the Hatake clan to be so dilapidated. It was nothing more than war.Years of wars not only caused heavy casualties to civilian ninjas, but also caused some small and medium-sized ninja clans to be exterminated and completely disappear in the long river of history.If it weren't for Hatake Sakumo's sudden appearance, the Hatake clan would probably have perished.So, what did they, the ninjas, gain from the war?Hayama couldn't understand why there was a war without any need for profit. Isn't war for conquest and plunder?

Seeing that Hayama was silent, Hatake Sakumo lost interest in reminiscing about the past and walked into a neat-looking room on the left.

After the two of them sat down, Kakashi brought tea and some snacks with a wooden tray in his little hand.

"Kakashi, stay here, listen and watch, but don't speak."

Hatake Sakumo's words interrupted Kakashi who was about to walk out, making him a little scared because his father's tone seemed to contain some kind of depression.

Seeing this, Hayama moved his body to the side, asked Kakashi to sit next to him, and then asked again about the purpose of inviting him here tonight.

Hatake Sakumo didn't answer Hayama's question, but stared at it with the tea cup in his right hand. After a while, he said, "Do you hate me?"

Hayama was stunned for a moment and was about to blurt out "I don't hate", but Hatake Sakumo's hawk-like sharp gaze made him narrow his eyes and carefully consider his words.

"To say that I don't hate you is to deceive myself, but I can't say that I hate you. At most, I am just complaining."

"You blame me for being stubborn?" Hatake Sakumo asked.

Hayama shook his head, took off the Konoha forehead protector from his forehead and still said on the table: "Everyone has their own obsessions, and I am no exception. I just blame you for not treating me well."

What Hayama said tonight was completely true. During the dozens of months he stayed at the border of the Land of Fire, he had extremely expected Hatake Sakumo to lend a helping hand, but in the end it was the Uchiha clan who solved Hayama's dilemma.Naturally, he complained to Hatake Sakumo.

This is all human nature and there is nothing that cannot be said.

Hatake Sakumo nodded, withdrew his sharp eyes and stared at the cup again and said: "It is your best choice to join the Uchiha clan. It is much better to follow them than to follow me."

"Do you know why I asked you to come?"

"do not know."

"Because I'm going to commit suicide."

The calm tone contained enough information to shock the ninja world. Hayama was caught off guard and crushed the tea cup in his hand. Kakashi was even more confused. He forgot his father's order and quickly crawled on the floor. Come on. Arriving in front of Hatake Sakumo, I wanted to hug his legs.

"Don't abandon my father!"

Kakashi's childish voice made the cold Hatake Sakumo have a wave of emotion in his eyes, but it was immediately covered with determination.After reaching out and pushing Kakashi away, he said: "Kakashi, no one in the world can stay with you forever. As time goes by, you have to learn to grow up alone."

After saying that, he squeezed Kakashi unconscious without hesitation, and then an old servant hugged him and walked out of the room.

"Why?" There was no emotion in Ye Shan's words, only coldness.

"The Country of Fire needs an explanation, the daimyo needs an explanation, and the village needs an explanation even more, so I will give them an explanation, and that's it."

Hatake Sakumo said it very plainly, as if he was just explaining what to eat tomorrow.

"boom!"

The table with good texture was smashed to pieces by Hayama's slap, and a flame appeared out of thin air and swallowed up the broken remains.

"This is a cowardly move! If you have the ability, go to the Hokage Building and give them a so-called explanation!"

Shit's explanation, what Hatake Sakumo did was just some mistakes in the mission. The deaths of hundreds of civilians cannot be blamed on him. At most, he handed over the position of ANBU minister as a punishment, but he could not be reduced to suicide. to the point.

Ninjas are the carrier and tool for task execution, but they also have their own emotions and judgments, and are not truly accurate machines.It is inevitable to cause the death of some unrelated people or people involved in the mission during dangerous missions. If it is really taken seriously, then all the Konoha Sannin who inadvertently caused the death of countless civilians on the battlefield of the Land of Rain will have to commit suicide. Apologize.

"You are just talking bullshit. Go to hell and kill yourself. Don't think that you can save the situation by doing this. You will only make Sarutobi Hiruzen and a few idiots secretly happy!"

The emotional Hayama smashed everything in the house that could be thrown. When he saw Hatake Sakumo still drinking tea like a normal person, he suddenly became furious and took the tea cup from his hand and crushed it hard.

The sharp fragments cut Hayama's palm, and blood dripped down the fingertips onto the floor, quickly staining Hatake Sakumo's clean socks red.

"Haishan, let's talk carefully. There's no need to be so excited."

Hayama took a few deep breaths and felt that his mind had returned to his body. After nodding, he sat directly on the right side of Hatake Sakumo, looking at the overgrown rockery in the courtyard, as if he was listening.

What Hatake Sakumo said was just bullshit in Hayama's heart. No matter how ridiculous you said it, he would still be bullshit.

People who want to commit suicide to save the situation are not talking nonsense.
