Naruto: Can't learn ninjutsu? I'll just practice immortality!

After deciding to abandon the mission and withdraw from the Rain Country, Hatake Sakumo thought he would still experience some dangers.

But he didn't know that because of Asakawa Naoki's arrangement, the rain ninjas who were ambushing on the retreat were transferred away one after another, making their evacuation from the Rain Country unusually smooth.

Crossing the border between the Rain Country and the Fire Country, Hatake Sakumo still had some lingering fears.

Although the land area of ​​the Rain Country is small, it is obvious that it can no longer be viewed as a small country.

The rain ninjas are not only powerful, but their perception ninjutsu is even more amazing.

What the leader of the rain ninjas said, that they found their traces when they crossed the border, is probably not an exaggeration.

Fortunately, the legendary rain shadow who can use wood escape ninjutsu did not take action, otherwise Hatake Sakumo would not have the confidence to escape from him, let alone his subordinates.

After returning to Konoha, Hatake Sakumo first asked his subordinates to arrange the two injured Anbu, and then rushed to the Hokage's office without stopping.

"Hokage-sama!" Hatake Sakumo knocked on the door and said.

"It's Sakumo, come in." Sarutobi Hiruzen said kindly:

"I already know about giving up the mission."

"Don't feel too guilty, it's enough that you can come back intact."

As soon as Hatake Sakumo and others were out of danger, they reported the intelligence of the Rain Country to the village through special channels to prevent the inability to transmit intelligence due to subsequent crises.

However, the intelligence was still too concise, so Hatake Sakumo still reported everything he saw and heard in the Rain Country to Sarutobi Hiruzen in detail.

"You mean, you were discovered the moment you stepped into the Rain Country?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have a bad feeling since entering the Rain Country. I'm afraid our whereabouts have been exposed since then." Hatake Sakumo nodded.

"It seems that the perception ninjutsu and concealment ninjutsu of the Rain Ninjas may have surpassed our Konoha." Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered.

"I'm afraid it is true," Hatake Sakumo nodded:

"According to the Rain Ninja, the Anbu and spy ninjas sent by the major ninja villages into the Land of Rain may not have died, but were arrested and imprisoned."

"Not only that, during the battle, there was a Rain Ninja who claimed that he had almost died under my sword, and now his strength has caught up with many of Konoha's Jonin."

"He is not young anymore, and it is likely that his strength has increased rapidly in the past few years, not because of his age."

"And, it's a bit strange that after escaping from the pursuit of the Rain Ninja, we didn't encounter the Rain Ninja again."

Speaking of this, Hatake Sakumo He also pondered for a while before continuing:

"According to my guess, after discovering my identity, the top leaders of the Rain Country did not want to make enemies with Konoha for the time being. After seeing that we wanted to leave, they did not send the Rain Ninja to continue chasing us."

"Don't want to make enemies with our Konoha for the time being?" Sarutobi Hiruzen also pondered for a moment and said:

"Since the Rain Ninja has expressed such an attitude, and it is too difficult to infiltrate the Rain Country, then we will temporarily stop infiltrating the Rain Country."

"Sakumo, you have brought back so much information, it's already good, take a good rest recently."

"Well, thank you, Hokage." Hatake Sakumo thanked.

When Hatake Sakumo returned home, in the Konoha Hospital, after leaving a clone on the bed, a figure's body gradually became transparent and quietly left the Konoha Hospital, heading to the root base under Konoha.

And this figure was the root ninja C that Danzo had arranged to join the Anbu, and possessed the Gekkou Scurvy of the Kekkei Genkai!

Soon, in the Root base, Gekkou Chikusa half-knelt in front of Danzo and reported to Danzo about the mission.

"You mean, Hatake Sakumo took the initiative to give up the mission?" Danzo's eyes were shining.

For a ninja, even if the mission fails, it is better than giving up the mission. He didn't expect Hatake Sakumo to have such a big flaw.

"That's right, but the reason why Lord Hatake Sakumo gave up the mission was, on the one hand, because the strength of the Rain Ninjas was too strong, and on the other hand, because I and another Anbu were injured and could not continue the mission." Gekkou Chikusa explained.

"Humph, you are still defending Hatake Sakumo?" Danzo said coldly:

"Carrying out missions is the first duty of a ninja!"

"And don't forget that you are a member of the Root!"

"You are a member of the Root in life, and you can only be a ghost of the Root in death!"

"Everything we do is for Konoha!"

"I know, Lord Danzo." Gekkou Chikusa nodded.

After thinking for a moment, Danzo thought of a vicious plan.

"Hatake Sakumo, as the head of Konoha's Anbu, took the lead in abandoning the mission., he has abandoned his duties as a ninja, he is no longer worthy of being the head of the Anbu! "

"Bing, you know what to do." Danzo looked at Gekkou Chikusa who was half-kneeling on the ground and said:

"The Root will do its best to help you."

"Yes! Master Danzo!" Gekkou Chikusa replied, but his body was trembling.

"I believe you." Danzo patted Gekkou Chikusa on the shoulder and said:

"Don't forget, the fate of your Gekkou clan is in your hands. "

On the second day after Hatake Sakumo and his party returned to Konoha, a rumor spread from nowhere in Konoha Village.

The head of Konoha Anbu, Hatake Sakumo, actually gave up the mission on his own initiative, which led to the failure of an important mission!

At first, the rumor was not spread widely.

Hatake Sakumo was at least a meritorious official who led Konoha to defeat Sand Village. He was very easy-going and had no black spots in his personality.

Even his appearance was that of an old handsome man, which attracted many women.

So at the beginning, there were still many people who defended Hatake Sakumo, and most people did not believe that their respected Hatake Sakumo would lead voluntarily gave up the mission.

But as a certain ANBU ninja "accidentally" leaked some evidence, even the supporters of Hatake Sakumo began to remain silent.

Although most ninjas have a good relationship with Hatake Sakumo, Konoha is so big that there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and naturally there will be ninjas who don't get along with Hatake Sakumo.

With the help of Danzo, these ninjas quickly formed a wave of criticism against Hatake Sakumo.

Under this trend, even most of the people in Konoha Village gradually began to join.

"The first duty of a ninja is to complete the mission. If you even give up the mission, you don't deserve to be a ninja!"

"Hatake Sakumo is not worthy of being the head of the ANBU!"

"That's right, even the head of the ANBU took the initiative to give up the mission, which is completely a discredit to our Konoha!"

"If other countries know that our Konoha ninjas may give up the mission at any time, which employer will be willing to entrust the mission to our Konoha? ”

“Hatake Sakumo is destroying our jobs as Konoha ninjas. I oppose him becoming the head of the Anbu!”

“I oppose it too!”

“The head of the Anbu should be given to a capable person. I think Shimura Danzo is very suitable!”

“......”
