After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

root.

Members of the Root were kneeling all around, and Danzo's face was filled with anger, as he kept throwing various tools.

In order to get rid of Hatake Sakumo, he made careful plans for a long time.

But who could have expected that, just because Yusuke fought such an outstanding battle, in just a few days, the villagers seemed to have forgotten the losses that Hatake Sakumo had brought to the village, and instead they were all eagerly discussing Yusuke.

Many villagers also come to the barbecue restaurant run by Yusuke's parents. Although they cannot see Yusuke himself, this does not stop them from admiring him.

Deep in Danzo's heart, a strong murderous intent flashed quietly.

Yusuke, Yusuke, you were originally the next target, but now it seems that the plan must be put on the agenda ahead of time.

Afterwards, Danzo Shimura urgently summoned his trusted subordinates and began to make secret plans once again.

Yuhi Shinku and the others had already returned to the village quietly and secretly, but before they could take any action, it seemed that the matter of Hatake Sakumo had quickly sunk to the bottom and few people mentioned it anymore.

At this time they were in a dilemma. Fortunately, Yusuke asked Uchiha Yuno to pass a message to Uchiha Fugaku, so they were able to join the team that Yusuke carefully arranged to escort the prisoners halfway.

Because of this, their reason for returning to the village became official and they no longer had to hide.

After the mighty army entered the village and handed over the prisoners, it was already completely dark.

Yuhi Shinku sneaked around quietly, and soon she saw the Hatake family's house.

As a ninja, it is normal not to take the usual path. So, Yuhi Shinku turned over swiftly and directly jumped over the high wall.

He did not try to hide his aura and walked slowly towards the bright main hall of Hatake Sakumo.

Hatake Sakumo seemed to sense the presence of a familiar person, but he never stopped.

When she pushed open the door, Yuhi Shinku saw Hatake Sakumo's messy yet white hair at a glance. As the door opened, the hair fluttered gently in the breeze. He was sitting on the floor, drinking sake decadently.

Seeing Hatake Sakumo like this, Yuhi Shinku could no longer imagine that this drunk man was once a feared killing god on the battlefield of Konoha.

"It's Shinku." Hatake Sakumo looked at Yuhi Shinku with a dazed look in his eyes, forced a smile, and greeted her with his unique and magnetic voice.

"Sakumo." Yuhi Shinku, who had a thousand words to say before coming here, was now so deeply shocked that he could not speak. He hesitated for a long time and just as he was about to speak, Hatake Sakumo's confused voice came again.

"Do you think I did something wrong?" Hearing this, Yuhi Shinku looked into Hatake Sakumo's eyes. At this moment, there was no light in Hatake Sakumo's eyes, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss and could not extricate himself.

"Sakumo, right and wrong vary from person to person." Yuhi Shinku slowly sat down opposite him, picked up an empty glass, filled it with wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

"You also think I did something wrong?" Hatake Sakumo gave a wry smile, "Yes, even Kira thinks I was wrong."

Kira is the companion that Hatake Sakumo gave up his mission to save.

"I am not qualified to judge whether you are right or wrong." Xihi Shinku shook her head, then stared at Hatake Sakumo and said very seriously, "Ask your heart, do you regret it?"

"I don't regret it." Hatake Sakumo raised his head and took another sip of sake. "Even if I have to do it again, I will still make the same choice and not abandon my companions. This is my ninja way."

"No," Yuhi Shinku shook her head and continued in the puzzled eyes of Hatake Sakumo, "You have sacrificed so much for Konoha, and completed all the tasks perfectly. Even in the war, you were the first to fight. You devoted yourself to the village, but now you are treated like this. Do you regret it?"

After hearing this, Hatake Sakumo stopped all movements and didn't know how to start for a moment.

"What does it matter if you regret it later, Shinhong, are you instigating me to betray the village?" After a moment of silence, a sneer flashed across Hatake Sakumo's face.

"No, Sakumo. Although we are ninjas and have to abandon many things, we cannot abandon our feelings." Yuhi Shinku looked at Hatake Sakumo, his eyes were still so empty.

"You are right, but I have always let down the village's expectations. I can't justify the deaths because of me." Hatake Sakumo lowered his head and said slowly.

"Sakumo, have you failed the expectations of the village or the expectations of Hokage?" Yuhi Shinku suddenly asked.

"Is there any difference?" Hatake Sakumo actually showed a puzzled expression, which was rare.

"Yes, the rise and fall of Konoha cannot be forced on one person. Even if it is someone else, there will be times when the mission fails, and the losses caused are immeasurable." Yuhi Shinku sat up and said in a serious tone, "But why are you the only one who is blamed by everyone?"

He paused, then continued: "The failure of a mission is nothing. Even if you intercepted the intelligence of the Hidden Cloud Village, can you make them withdraw? The civilians in the village will not know what we did. What they know was spread by someone with ulterior motives."

Hatake Sakumo interrupted Yuhi Shinku's words for the first time: "Then who is the person with ulterior motives? The Hokage?"

"Maybe, maybe not, but he didn't stop the fermentation of public opinion, did he?" Yuhi Shinku was not afraid of making things worse, "Yusuke's speculation must be behind Shimura Danzo."

"Shimura Danzo?" Hatake Sakumo asked in confusion, "What is his purpose?"

"Hehe." Yuhi Shinku couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Hatake Sakumo as if he was looking at a idiot. "Because you are blocking his way, and so is Yusuke. He wants to become Hokage himself, and your Hokage Half-Sleeve, Yusuke's current prestige and power are all obstacles to him."

"However, Yusuke is much luckier than you." Yuhi Shinku said slowly, word by word, "He has the Hokage standing behind him, and his wife is Princess Tsunade."

"I have already given up this goal a long time ago." Hatake Sakumo smiled with a self-deprecating look, "Now I am already a disgraced person. For someone like me, perhaps only death can be considered as atonement."

Yuhi Shinku slammed the table hard and shouted angrily, "Is this how you deal with problems?"

Then, he pulled out an envelope from his pocket and said, "This is the letter that Yusuke asked me to give to you when I have the chance. He said you might commit suicide, so I must give it to you before you do."
