Black Naruto: Shadow Moon

"Kakashi...it's me..." Sakumo's voice was full of affection and apology.

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils suddenly contracted. The face in front of him was the father he missed day and night! Kakashi's hands trembled slightly, and he could hardly believe the facts in front of him. For the first time, his usually indifferent face showed shock and confusion.

"Father...you..." Kakashi's voice was almost trembling, "Aren't you already...dead?"

Hatake Sakumo felt a pang in his heart, and he reached out and gently placed his hand on Kakashi's shoulder, his eyes full of love and apology. "I'm sorry, Kakashi... I made you suffer too much."

Hearing his father's voice, Kakashi's tears welled up in his eyes, and his emotions made it almost impossible for him to stand still.

He bit his lips tightly, trying not to let his emotions get out of control, but the emotions in his heart were like a flood that could not be suppressed.

He once thought that he would never see his father again in this life, but the scene before him was unacceptable and unbelievable to him.

"Why? Why did this happen? How did you survive?" Kakashi's voice was full of confusion and bitterness.

Hatake Sakumo held Kakashi's shoulders, his tone was comforting and gentle: "It was Shadow Moon and Orochimaru who saved me. They used some special methods to allow me to meet you again."

Hearing this, Kakashi's gaze shifted to Uchiha Kagezuki standing beside him.

Only then did he realize that it was all thanks to Yingyue's efforts that his father could stand in front of him again.

His throat choked up, and the emotions in his heart hit his reason like a tide.

Hatake Sakumo continued: "I owe Yingyue too much. It was because of him that I had the opportunity to stand in front of you again."

Kakashi finally couldn't control his emotions anymore and tears silently slid down his face.

Although he has learned how to keep his emotions to himself over the years, at this moment he is just a child who needs a father.

He lowered his head, his voice choking with sobs: "Thank you, Lord Shadow Moon... You not only saved my father, but also saved me."

Yingyue stood beside him, smiled slightly and shook his head, "You're welcome, Kakashi. This is what I should do. The reunion of you and your son is the greatest reward for me."

Hatake Sakumo also bowed deeply, his eyes full of gratitude: "Kingyue, I owe you my life. Without your help, I may never have the opportunity to make up for my mistakes. No matter what happens in the future, I will stand by your side."

Uchiha Kagezuki stood aside, silently observing the touching moment of the reunion between Kakashi and Hatake Sakumo. The father and son were reunited, and their emotions were relieved. Kagezuki knew that this was a crucial moment for them.

Therefore, he did not choose to disturb them, but waited quietly by their side, giving them enough time to say the words buried deep in their hearts.

However, Shadow Moon also realizes that Hatake Sakumo's resurrection is an extremely sensitive matter that needs to be handled with caution.

So, when the relationship between father and son gradually calmed down, Shadow Moon stepped forward and reminded Kakashi, Sakumo and Minato Namikaze who were present.

"The resurrection of Hatake Sakumo-senpai," Yingyue said in a steady and firm voice, "is not suitable for public disclosure at this time. This matter will be a huge shock to the villagers of Konoha Village and the Konoha high-level officials. The resurrection of the dead will not only cause panic among the villagers, but also allow some people with ulterior motives to use this news to make a fuss."

Hatake Sakumo agreed with this and nodded.

He knew clearly that the people of Konoha Village already regarded him as a sacrificed hero, and the news of his resurrection would not only cause turmoil in Konoha, but might even cause people like Danzo Shimura to disrupt the situation.

For now, he should keep a low profile, especially since he still has to observe Kakashi's growth in secret.

Uchiha Kagezuki continued: "Senior needs to hide for a while to avoid unnecessary trouble. However, Kakashi, you can meet with Sakumo Senior at any time. This is of vital importance to you and your son."

Namikaze Minato and Kakashi both nodded to show their understanding. Minato said, "Brother Kagezuki is right. Sakumo-senpai's resurrection is indeed too shocking. It is best to keep it secret for the time being, especially for Danzo. He always has ulterior motives. Once he knows about this, it may cause more problems and conspiracies."

Hatake Sakumo said in a deep voice: "I understand that this matter must be kept low-key. I will hide my identity until the right time, and I will show up at any time when Kakashi needs me."

Yingyue nodded silently. He knew that this resurrection not only gave Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi a chance to reunite, but also added a hidden strong man to the future situation of Konoha.

Hatake Sakumo will not make public the news of his resurrection for the time being, both for the stability of Konoha and to prepare for possible crises in the future.

Kakashi's eyes became firm, and he realized that although his father had returned, there were still many things he needed to face alone.

He turned to Yingyue and Minato and nodded solemnly: "Thank you for your arrangement. I will respect my father's decision and will continue to train hard to become stronger."

Uchiha Kagezuki finally reminded again: "The ninja world is not peaceful now. Shimura Danzo and others are still operating in secret, and there are also complicated political struggles within Konoha. We must be careful and wait for the right time to make these things public."

Everyone present understood the complexity of the situation, and then they nodded silently to show their understanding.

After the matter of Hatake Sakumo's resurrection calmed down, Uchiha Kagezuki received news from Orochimaru.

Orochimaru told Kagezuki that he had successfully prepared Hashirama's cell solution for Tsunade, and hoped that Kagezuki would take her to the laboratory for testing.

Uchiha Kagezuki was filled with emotion. He could not help but admire Orochimaru's high efficiency. Once he had an idea for an experiment, he would immediately put it into practice. It was this spirit of concentration that allowed Orochimaru to achieve excellence in the field of scientific research.

Orochimaru then added, "Kagezuki, go get Tsunade to come to the lab. She has always wanted to awaken Wood Release, and now is her chance."

Uchiha Kagezuki agreed to Orochimaru's request and went to the Senju clan's territory with a hint of anticipation and excitement.

Recently, the relationship between Yingyue and Tsunade has become increasingly close, and Yingyue even often stays at Tsunade's house. The Uchiha clan members have seen that the clan leader often stays out all night, and this has become commonplace for the Uchiha clan members.

When Yingyue found Tsunade, he pretended to be mysterious and said, "Tsunade, I have a surprise for you."

Tsunade frowned slightly, her eyes full of curiosity and suspicion: "What surprise? Don't keep me in suspense."

Uchiha Kagezuki smiled and said, "Orochimaru's research on Wood Release has finally yielded results. Haven't you always wanted to awaken Wood Release?"
