Hatake's home.
The talented ninja Hatake Kakashi, who was only seven years old, seemed to have had all his energy and energy drained away, and he was sitting on his knees at the door with dull eyes.
All the ninjas who came in to visit showed unbearable expressions, and there were even countless people who felt unbelievable even when they came here in person.
Is this the end of the legendary ninja?
"Kakashi, I'm sorry about Sakumo. My condolences."
Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato came here with heavy expressions. When they saw Kakashi who lost his father at the age of seven, both of them had melancholy in their eyes.
"Jiraiya-sama!"
"Jiraiya Jonin!"
As Jiraiya arrived, each jounin nodded respectfully. Fellow jonins were also divided into three, six, and nine levels.
However, the final funeral of this legendary ninja was even more tragic, because only a few twenty or thirty ninjas came here to pay their respects to Hatake Sakumo.
Jiraiya was even more angry when he saw this. A hero should not be treated like this.
"Jiraiya-sensei!"
Namikaze Minato on the side seemed to see something, and couldn't help but look at his teacher, and Jiraiya took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Minato, go comfort Kakashi, Sakumo I, Jiraiya, will host Shinobu's funeral for the Third Hokage. We cannot let our hero die in such a sad way."
"yes!"
Outside Hatake's house, many ninjas were squatting on the roofs, big trees, street lamps and other places, watching from a distance. Many people still had grudges and hesitantly chose to watch the farewell outside.
After all, there was an uproar in the village that Hatake Sakumo failed the mission due to his own reasons, causing heavy losses to the village.
Public opinion is a double-edged sword. After Hatake Sakumo's sudden accident, when the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo secretly started to stop people, they found that they seemed to have lost control.
In other words, public opinion has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. For the first time, they tried the weapon of rumors. It was so powerful that it not only hurt the enemy, but also hurt themselves.
Hokage's office.
"Hiruzhan, although the public opinion has been stopped, it has already penetrated into the hearts of all ninjas in Konoha. If this matter is not handled well, it will cause great chaos."
"Yeah, which one is more important, companions or missions? If everyone chooses companions and gives up missions like Hatake Sakumo, then why do we need Ninja Village? Why do we need Hokage!"
Mito Monohan and Koharu, who had transferred to the dormitory, expressed the impact of this incident with solemn expressions.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also looked livid and ugly. He exhaled a puff of smoke for a while and then said in a deep voice: "Danzo went too far this time!"
This was their first time using public opinion. The starting point was just to damage White Fang's reputation and completely disqualify him from competing for Hokage.
Never thought that it had only been a few days? Why is this person so stubborn!
He had to commit suicide, causing Konoha to lose such a powerful combat force in vain.
"Jiraiya has already hosted Sakumo's funeral on my behalf, but the impact of this incident..."
Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was hesitating, the door suddenly opened, and Shimura Danzo walked in with a gloomy face, and said directly in a deep voice: "Hiruzen, this may be unexpected, but this head is definitely It can't be opened! Once Hatake Sakumo is allowed to behave like this, how can Konoha gain a foothold in the ninja world in the future?
If the Ninja Village does not take tasks as its first goal, will countless people come to Konoha Village in the Land of Fire to issue tasks? "
Even with Danzo Shimura's tough attitude, he hit the nail on the head.
Mito Kadoyan and Koharu who moved to the dormitory also looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and nodded: "Hiruzen, none of us want to see what happened to Hatake Sakumo, but what Danzo said is right, once it happens, With this in mind, how can Konoha establish itself in the Land of Fire?"
Ninjas themselves have to complete tasks as their first priority. If everyone has to protect their companions as their first requirement, then why do they come to you to issue tasks?
In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who finally became the Third Hokage, took a deep look at these old friends. He understood that this time, even if he knew it was wrong, he had to go on.
After all, the pressure from public opinion has caused too much trouble. If it hadn't been so big, it could have been controlled within a small area.
pity! There was too much public opinion, and Hatake Sakumo was a legendary ninja, so he had no other choice.
"I see!"
In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head and said in a deep voice for the sake of the stability of the village: "Instruct the ANBU to inform Jiraiya that Hatake Sakumo violated ninja standards and caused heavy losses to the village. His name cannot be included in the commemorative monument!"
This decision almost denied Hatake Sakumo the title of hero, and he died in shame.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi gave this order and the ANBU outside the window nodded respectfully and disappeared, Danzo Shimura in the room fell silent after hearing this.
It seemed that Mito Katoen and Koharu Koharu also noticed Sarutobi Hiruzen's heavy mood, and they couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Hiruzen, this time we can only blame him for giving up the mission, and we are all doing this for the stability of the village."
"Yes, Hiruzen, think about the major families behind Hatake. If they are allowed to do whatever they want, once Hatake comes to power, these wealthy families will continue to grow and become a cancer for Konoha."
"What have we been working hard for these years? Isn't it just to balance the major forces in the village, weaken the wealthy families, and let more civilian ninjas come forward, so that Konoha can be more stable..."
Under the comfort of Mito Kado and Koharu, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen felt better, but he still sighed heartbrokenly at the loss of such a powerful fighting force.
"It's a pity that Hatake Jounin, such a ninja who can intimidate enemy countries, is gone like this."
…
At the Hatake family's funeral.
Countless people once rushed here, but now under various public opinions, this hero who has made countless contributions to Konoha has come to an end. In the end, it is scattered, which can be said to be a vivid display of leaving people with tea.
"What!"
"Why can't Senior White Fang go to the Memorial Monument!? Senior White Fang has made so many contributions!"
In the room, a jounin who had been greatly favored by Hatake Sakumo asked loudly and angrily, while seven or eight special jounin also had angry faces.
Today's Namikaze Minato is not as prestigious as he will be in the future. Facing the dissatisfied looks of everyone, he can only say dimly: "Everyone, this is an order from Hokage-sama. Hatake Jounin has left the mission due to personal reasons. The failure caused heavy losses to the village. I hope everyone can understand, Hokage-sama."
However, in the face of Namikaze Minato's explanation, everyone would not give up, and they all angrily bullied the yellow hair in front of them.
"stop!"
At this moment, Jiraiya's tall body let out a deep shout. Facing Jiraiya's power, although the ninjas were unwilling to give in, they could only let go of Namikaze Minato's clothes in frustration.
"Jiraiya-sama!"
"We are not convinced!"
"That's right, does it mean that just because you failed a mission, you are not qualified to go to the Memorial Monument?"
Faced with everyone's dissatisfaction, Jiraiya looked around at everyone with a solemn expression and said solemnly: "You are all ninjas, and you should understand the significance of the mission. If there is news from outside that Konoha puts the lives of ninjas first, not If the mission is our own responsibility, then Konoha's position as the number one ninja village in the ninja world will be shaken!"
Faced with Jiraiya's righteousness, everyone felt aggrieved, but they couldn't say anything even though they were still unwilling to accept it.
Only Kakashi Hatake, who was kneeling at the gate, heard that his father was not even qualified to go to the memorial monument. Under his dull eyes, he was muttering to himself. "Ninjas should abide by the rules and use the completion of tasks as the standard, so that they will not be criticized by everyone..."
Kakashi, whose eyes were dull, thought of his father.
If his father chose to complete the mission and abide by the rules, he would not be said like this and would not commit suicide. This made him fully understand the iron laws of a ninja world.
In the world of ninjas, rules rule!
Just when Hatake Kakashi fell into darkness and seemed to have found the reason why such a powerful ninja as his father would commit suicide, suddenly there was a commotion outside the door.
"The police department is dispatched. All ninjas involved in slander and spreading rumors will be arrested and brought back for interrogation!"
"Although Jounin Hatake's mission failed, why did it spread so quickly? It was clearly the work of spies, and all the ninjas who followed Jounin Hatake on the mission were arrested!
This group of people all have doubts. Since they were captured by the enemy ninja, why didn't they commit suicide? Since it was the Hatake Jounin who saved him, this person should have dedicated his life to the Will of Fire at that time, but he was too timid and cowardly to blame the Hatake Jounin after returning to the village..."
Outside Hatake's house, a crowd of ninjas were walking toward the place in darkness.
Such a scene shocked the ninjas watching in secret.
I saw the Senju, Uchiha, Hinata, Aburame and other families reflected in the clan emblems.
At the head was Tsunade, who led a dozen ninjas from the Senju clan, followed by the Uchiha clan, which had a large number of people.
Under the shocked eyes of countless people, Uchiha Ye, who was following Tsunade, directly issued orders one by one indifferently.
When they heard these orders, everyone knew something big was going to happen.
"night!"
Uchiha Fugaku also came with him. After hearing such an order, his expression changed. However, Uchiha Ye directly shouted coldly at the police department behind him: "I, Uchiha Ye, As the Deputy Minister of Police, I am ordering you now!”
boom!
At this moment, Uchiha Ye chose to take over as the Deputy Minister of Police directly in front of everyone.
After returning from the Land of Rain two years ago, Uchiha entered the medical department without seeing anything, and the deputy director of the police department became a hanging title.
But this time it was different. He clearly wanted to officially join the police department.
However, when someone came to share the power, Uchiha Fugaku was not angry, but worried: "Ye, you are too impulsive."
Uchiha Fugaku's character is said to be stable at best, but undecided at worst, hesitant and unsure of choices.
However, after Uchiha Ye's order was issued, among the members of the police department behind him, Uchiha Yashiro and other confidants directly shouted:
"Yes!"
In an instant, more than a dozen members of the Uchiha Police Department left with the teleportation technique to execute the order. Seeing this scene, Uchiha Fugaku opened his mouth to say something, but saw Uchiha Ye's silent expression, and the leader Tsunade looked indifferent.
He seemed to have guessed something, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened. Could this be Qianju's counterattack?
When he thought of this, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but secretly glance at his confidant, and his confidant understood instantly.
"Follow the deputy minister's order!"
In an instant, dozens of Uchiha ninjas behind him chose to carry out the order issued by Uchiha Ye.
Such a big thing happened in just a few steps, and Jiraiya's expression changed drastically as he just walked out of the house.
"Tsunade!"
However, today's Tsunade was dressed in black. After glancing at Jiraiya indifferently, she directly led the representatives of the major families into the Hatake clan.
At the same time, flags representing the emblems of various wealthy families were erected on both sides of the courtyard where Hatake Sakumo's funeral was held.
The emblem flags of the Senju, Uchiha, Hinata, and Aburame families stood on both sides respectively, and they sounded loudly in the wind.
What was an extremely shabby funeral at the moment has risen directly to a funeral where wealthy families gather.
Hatake Sakumo represents their various wealthy families. Since something happened, others can hide, but wealthy families like them cannot hide.
"Brother Kakashi, are you okay?"
Also following was little Shisui. After paying homage to Hatake Sakumo, Shisui stepped forward with a concerned look.
Now, Kakashi is at the most confused moment in his life. All his former values were shattered by the death of his father, and it is time to re-establish them.
However, in the room at this time, Jiraiya looked solemnly at Tsunade, who was coming with so many wealthy families, and couldn't help lowering his voice and said:
"Tsunade, no matter what happens, this matter must be suppressed first."
Jiraiya can naturally see that there is something wrong with Hatake Sakumo's death, but the biggest problem now is not to cause trouble anymore.
Let's suppress this issue first, and then wait until no one talks about it before discussing whether Hatake Sakumo's name can be engraved on the commemorative monument.
However, this time after Tsunade paid her respects to Hatake Sakumo, a sneer appeared on her face.
"Jiraiya, are you an idiot?"
Tsunade didn't save any face for Jiraiya, which made Namikaze Minato embarrassed. At the same time, the other ninjas in the room lowered their heads and looked like they didn't hear anything.
"Tsunade, the impact of this incident..."
However, before Jiraiya could finish speaking, Tsunade interrupted with a sneer: "Impact? Hatake Sakumo's suicide has told the entire Konoha what will happen to ninjas who do not follow the rules!
He even defended the dignity of the No. 1 Ninja Village in the Fire Country Ninja World with his own death. A ninja who gives up his mission, even if he is already a powerful Hokage, even a legendary ninja, will have to pay the price! "
Tsunade's cold voice echoed, all indicating the real reason for Hatake Sakumo's suicide.
Just ostracizing is not the whole story. What is more important is that public opinion has become more and more out of control. This is no longer a simple mission failure.
It was Konoha's legendary ninja White Fang who gave up his mission, which had the greatest impact on Konoha's credibility in the ninja world.
Therefore, the biggest pressure on Hatake Sakumo is the harm his behavior brings to the village.
The real reason why Hatake Sakumo committed suicide was to defend Konoha's honor in the ninja world.
At the door of the house, Hatake Kakashi was stunned when he heard these words, and his confused eyes seemed to start to focus.
"Kakashi, Sakumo-senpai is a true hero!"
Uchiha Shisui on the side said even more firmly, which made Kakashi Hatake seem to understand something.
It was not that his father committed suicide because he could not bear the pressure of public opinion. His father was not that fragile.
The real reason his father committed suicide was to protect the village! Defend the dignity of Konoha in the ninja world.
