Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

The weakening of Konoha's overall strength may cause villages such as Sand Village and Kumo Village to have thoughts of taking action against Konoha.

"Perhaps, I should be more careful about this matter." Danzo thought coldly, weighing in his mind how to make up for this loss next.

In any case, Hatake Sakumo's suicide has become a fact, and every corner of Konoha Village is shaken by this incident.

The villagers, ninjas, and high-level officials all carried different emotions, some regretted, some blamed themselves, and some were indifferent.

But no matter how they react, this history of Konoha Village will be forever engraved in their hearts.

The death of Hatake Sakumo was not only the fall of a hero, but also a painful price for Konoha's politics and public opinion.

The news of Hatake Sakumo's suicide quickly spread throughout the ninja world, and the top leaders of the five major countries had completely different reactions to it.

Although on the surface all countries remained calm, deep down in their hearts, this news caused a huge stir, especially among those Kage-level powerful men from various countries who had fought against Sakumo on the battlefield.

In the Iwagakure Village, the Third Tsuchikage of the Land of Earth, Ōnoki, sat in his seat, listening to the reports of his ninjas.

A sneer appeared on his old face, and there was a hint of contempt and gloating in his eyes.

"Hatake Sakumo, the 'Konoha White Fang' actually ended his life by suicide. It really makes people feel...happy."

Oonoki stretched his back, his tone containing a hint of undisguised sarcasm and pleasure.

Hatake Sakumo's reputation has long been resounding in the ninja world, especially in the Second Ninja World War, when Sakumo relied on his personal strength to inflict severe damage to the Iwagakure Village's troops in many battles.

As a Kage-level warrior, Sakumo's threat on the battlefield is deadly. Whether it is frontal combat or surprise infiltration, the Iwagakure Village has paid a heavy price for it.

"To restrict and kill a strong man like Hatake Sakumo, we in the Iwagakure Village don't know how many elite ninjas will have to sacrifice. But Konoha, on the other hand, actually let him commit suicide because of its own internal political struggles." Ohnoki shook his head with a sneer.

He secretly rejoiced in his heart that this was a "gift" from Konoha to the Iwagakure Village.

The loss of such a powerful Kage-level figure will undoubtedly greatly reduce Konoha's overall strength.

Ōnoki felt lucky and secretly laughed at Sarutobi Hiruzen's stupidity.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, ah Sarutobi Hiruzen, you old man, you really cut off your own arm." Ohnoki sneered, "We in the Iwagakure Village will never do such a stupid thing."

Ōnoki was disdainful of Konoha's internal power struggle.

He believed that the strength of the ninja village depended on strength and unity, and Konoha's practice of killing each other was undoubtedly self-destructive.

For the Iwagakure Village, the death of Hatake Sakumo is not just the disappearance of an enemy, but also an opportunity to weaken Konoha.

At the same time, in the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning, the Third Raikage Ai was sitting in his Raikage office with a piece of information in his hand.

His burly figure stood like a mountain, his eyes staring coldly at the contents of the intelligence, a cold smile appearing on his face.

"Konoha White Fang... is he dead?"

There was no mercy in Ai's eyes. On the contrary, his heart was full of contempt for Konoha.

He threw the information aside roughly, crossed his arms over his chest, and sneered in a low voice: "It turned out that the power struggle within Konoha led to his suicide."

The Third Raikage was not interested in the twists and turns within Konoha.

In his opinion, power struggles are nothing more than tricks of the weak, and a truly powerful village should rely on absolute force and the deterrence of the strong.

Neither conspiracy nor political means seem to be of any importance in his eyes.

"Konoha is too stupid." Ai murmured, "They only know how to fight among themselves, not unite. Even a strong man like Hatake Sakumo can be driven to the point of suicide."

Ai had fought against Hatake Sakumo during the Second Shinobi World War and had a deep impression of him.

Although Sakumo's strength is slightly inferior to Ai's, he is still a Kage-level strongman who cannot be ignored.

Ai weighed the issue calmly in his mind: "If he were in our Hidden Cloud Village, he would at least be a high-ranking elder. His strength should not be underestimated. If Konoha loses him, it will be equivalent to weakening itself."

The Hidden Cloud Village has always advocated strength above all else, and Ai has never concealed his contempt for Konoha's weak behavior.

He knew that no matter how fierce the struggle within the village was, without the strength to back it up, everything would be nothing but empty talk. And Konoha's internal struggle this time just weakened their power in the ninja world.

In the high-level meeting room of the Sand Village, the Third Kazekage also received the news of Hatake Sakumo's suicide.

He looked at the information silently, without much expression on his face, but in his heart he had already developed a deep contempt for Konoha's stupidity.

"It seems that the death of Konoha White Fang was caused by the political struggle within Konoha." The Third Kazekage said softly, "This self-destructive behavior is really stupid."

In the opinion of the Third Kazekage, after the Second Ninja World War, although the major ninja villages temporarily entered a period of recuperation, the conflicts and hostility never really disappeared.

The death of Konoha White Fang will undoubtedly weaken Konoha's overall deterrent power in the ninja world and further fuel the war determination of the Sand Village and other major powers.

"Konoha has weakened its own strength, which is good news for us." The Third Kazekage analyzed calmly.

Water Country · Mist Village

In the black fog that shrouded the Hidden Mist Village in the Land of Water, the Third Mizukage also received information about Hatake Sakumo's suicide.

His face was gloomy, his hands were crossed, and he looked at the contents of the intelligence coldly.

"Konoha White Fang... died in such a strange way." The voice of the Third Mizukage was low and murderous.

He knew that the death of Konoha White Fang could not be a simple battlefield accident, but was most likely the result of a political struggle within Konoha.

"The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is indeed a weakling." The Fourth Mizukage sneered, "It is foolish to force such a powerful Kage-level ninja to commit suicide."

The Hidden Mist Village has always been known for its cruelty and toughness, and the Fourth Mizukage is no exception.

He was full of disdain for Konoha's internal strife, believing it to be a foolish act that would weaken the overall strength of the village.

However, the death of Konoha White Fang also made the Hidden Mist Village see Konoha's weakness.

The suicide of Hatake Sakumo not only shocked Konoha Village and the ninja world, but also had a profound impact on Konoha's mission commission system.

In the various countries of the ninja world, many employers who commissioned tasks, especially those businessmen and nobles who once trusted Hatake Sakumo very much, have now begun to have deep doubts about Konoha.

Hatake Sakumo's past outstanding achievements have won Konoha Village a large number of important and difficult tasks. His name is widely known in the ninja world and he is known as one of the most reliable strong men in Konoha Village.

Whether it is decisiveness in times of crisis or calmness and courage in complex tasks, Shuo Mao's performance makes employers feel at ease.

However, things took a turn for the worse with Sakumo's death.
