Shinobi: I'm Really a Supportive Ninja

Hatake Sakumo, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade can be regarded as the mainstay of Konoha now.

The four people have a lot of intersections whether they are performing missions, conquering the battlefield, or in Konoha's internal affairs, and they are so familiar with each other.

Hatake Sakumo and Orochimaru have always met by chance. The two of them would only communicate when they were on a mission or on the battlefield.

And Hatake Sakumo once said that the person he couldn't understand the most was Orochimaru.

Since they can't see through, the personal relationship between the two of them will naturally not be good enough to visit the mansion at night.

So Orochimaru's trip is definitely not just to reminisce about the past.

"Long time no see, Orochimaru." Hatake Sakumo nodded and responded, then asked Orochimaru the purpose of his trip.

"It's not like you to come to see me at home so late."

"It is indeed not in line with my style, but there are exceptions to everything, what do you think? Lord Sakumo."

"Stop being polite, it's better for everyone to get straight to the point." Hatake Sakumo had already grabbed the dagger behind his back with one hand.

"You're really welcome, Sakumo." Orochimaru licked the corner of his mouth with interest, "Sure enough, even a pure ninja who holds a high position can know many unknown secrets."

Orochimaru is not stupid. After seeing Hatake Sakumo act like this, he naturally knew that Hatake Sakumo already knew a lot of things, including the scandalous things he did behind the scenes.

Orochimaru also understood many things. What he did under Konoha's nose was definitely not foolproof. It was just that some people indulged, some covered it up, and some didn't want to mention it.

"Although you no longer trust me, it doesn't mean that I no longer trust you." Orochimaru looked deeply at Hatake Sakumo, then turned around and walked forward, "Sakumo, this is not the place to talk. I don't know how dare you Don’t you dare to go out alone with me?”

"Why don't I dare?"

Hatake Sakumo sneered and followed immediately.

He is not afraid of Orochimaru at all, nor does he think that Orochimaru and Danzo behind him can do something that will lower his IQ.

For example, the dirty work of assassins and others.

Even if it could be done, it would not be possible inside Konoha Village.

…

Konoha, Orochimaru's secret testing base.

Hatake Sakumo, who followed Orochimaru here, was trembling all over. He had previously known that Orochimaru was conducting some secret experiments and had also investigated the missing children in villages near Konoha.

The conclusion drawn naturally points to Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo, but this matter was suppressed by the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But knowing is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another thing, Hatake Sakumo can't accept it.

"Sakumo, I heard that your breathing is not as steady as before. Do you feel anything?" Orochimaru asked knowingly.

"Look what you have done!" Hatake Sakumo pointed at the embryos in the culture tank, "You are simply insulting the name of the Sannin!"

"This is the teacher's tacit approval." Orochimaru chuckled, "You are not yet the Hokage, but you are too lenient."

"You...!" Hatake Sakumo was trembling all over, but he couldn't find any words to refute.

"Haha, Sakumo, although calling you that is a bit disrespectful, the fact is that you are just a political victim."

"What on earth do you want to say?!" Hatake Sakumo stared at Orochimaru coldly.

"What I want to say is that it's time for you to take action." Orochimaru looked directly into Hatake Sakumo's eyes, "Kill Shimura Danzo, force the teacher to abdicate, and then... put everything on my head. "

Hatake Sakumo gradually came back to his senses and looked at Orochimaru in disbelief. He did not expect that Orochimaru would say or do this.

"Don't be surprised, this should be the last thing I do for Konoha." Orochimaru's expression gradually became crazy, "Konoha's decay has become a foregone conclusion. If we don't use more force, we will treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

"But what is your purpose?"

"My purpose?" Orochimaru pointed at himself, "I have no purpose, I just do things based on my own preferences."

"The person I am now is no longer the person I used to be. My pursuit has changed. I no longer stick to one village or one country, and I no longer focus on ten years and one hundred years. What I want is eternal life and eternal life." Endless knowledge.”

"It's dangerous for you to do this." Hatake Sakumo said in a deep voice.

"Who lives in this world without danger? Even if you eat a meal, you may choke to death. This is the fragility of life. Endless accidents will take away everyone's life, and the same goes for you and me."

Orochimaru was like a philosopher at this time, and what he said made Hatake Sakumo disagree and didn't quite approve of it.

But regardless of these things, Orochimaru's previous proposal still moved Hatake Sakumo.

"What exactly is your plan?"

"I have all the evidence of Shimura Danzo here, enough to make him die seven or eight times, but the premise is that the teacher is willing to do it." Orochimaru took out a pile of evidence and handed it to Hatake Sakumo, "You Just take it, seriously injure me, and then go to the teacher's place, and I believe the matter will come to an end."

Hatake Sakumo did not reach out to pick it up, but shook his head.

"There is a 90% chance that the Sandaime Hokage will not take action."

"Of course I know this." Orochimaru's emotions did not fluctuate at all, "But in this case, you will have a reason and an opportunity to eradicate Konoha's cancer."

"But this is very risky!" Hatake Sakumo was very calm. He had already anticipated the consequences of his actions.

"It's indeed risky, but does it have anything to do with whether you want to do it or not?"

Orochimaru's words hit the point directly, which made Hatake Sakumo stunned and stared at Orochimaru with a somewhat straight look.

Trying to see some conspiracy in his snake eyes.

…

Hatake Sakumo left, walking heavily with a series of evidence against Shimura Danzo provided by Orochimaru.

However, Hatake Sakumo did not choose to take action against Orochimaru, he was still undecided.

Moreover, Hatake Akira and Kakashi still need time to grow up, and he doesn't want to take risks now.

If it succeeds, it's okay, but if it fails, the entire Hatake family will be buried with Hatake Sakumo. Hatake Akira and Kakashi, who have not yet grown up, will naturally not escape the fate of being buried together.

He simply did not dare to underestimate the power in the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo. If they were not careful, they would be shattered into pieces.

Not only that, Hatake Sakumo couldn't believe everything Orochimaru said. Who knows if this was a trap dug for himself by Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo.

With his thoughts on his mind, Hatake Sakumo returned home.

But when he entered the door, Hatake Sakumo first saw Akira Hatake and Kakashi sitting in the living room quietly waiting for his return.

"Father."

The two brothers said in unison, stood up and faced Hatake Sakumo.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Hatake Sakumo glanced at Hatake Akira, his words somewhat reproachful.

"I can't sleep." Akira Hatake saw the information in Sakumo Hatake's hand, "Did father go out to meet someone?"

"Yes, Orochimaru came to me and gave me all the evidence against Danzo Shimura." Sakumo Hatake put away the information in his hand and explained that he had no intention of showing it to Akira Hatake.

"It seems that Orochimaru still has some conscience, and it will take some years before he goes completely crazy." Akira Hatake guessed the matter after a brief thought, "Father, Orochimaru wants to kill you through your hands. Did Danzo Shimura force the Sandaime to step down?"

"It has to be you, Akira." Hatake Sakumo sighed, "This is Orochimaru's plan, but I don't want to take action now."

"Father is right to do this. It's not the right time yet. After all, the power of the Hatake family is too weak."

Akira Hatake pulled Hatake Sakumo to sit down, "Father, you just need to be aware of these things. Don't get involved for now. There will be an excellent opportunity in the future."

Hatake Akira didn't expect that Orochimaru would suddenly take action. Although the tactics used were clumsy, if Hatake Akira hadn't changed some things, Hatake Sakumo would have jumped into the pit by himself.

In other words, Hatake Akira has connected all the reasons for Hatake Sakumo's suicide, and understands why such a powerful ninja would choose to commit suicide to understand his own life.

Hatake Sakumo was completely forced, and there was no way that a one-sided attack on public opinion could achieve the desired effect.

Gradually, Hatake Akira's eyes became cold.

Now that we understand the whole story, the arrangements for many things should be put on the agenda.
