Light of Konoha

2nd day, early morning.

When someone walked into the classroom, cheers resounded across the campus instantly.

"wa! It's Mizuki!"

"Mizuki is back, and our Second Year is finally complete again!"

looked at these brilliant smiling faces around, Mizuki I didn't feel much moved in my heart, I just thought to myself, "Too indifferent will make Sōseki difficult. But what should I do now? If it were Sōseki, what would he do?"

Thinking of this, Mizuki barely squeezed a smile, "Thank you, thank you all!"

Seeing this scene, everyone was surprised.

"Hey? Mizuki laughed! He will laugh too?"

"Haha, Mizuki has changed a lot!"

"Although it is a little ugly to laugh , But it’s better than a cold face!"

"By the way, Minato, tell us how you cured it!"

Mizuki was already bored Hearing this, my spirits cheered up sharply, "You may not know, Sōseki is for me..."

"Oh! Wow!"

"Become a frog, Is it so exciting?"

Hearing these exclamations, Asuma became a little sour, and looked at Sōseki with a bitter look, "It's too much to take me with you!"

Ibiki, as always, said with a vicious tongue, "What are you going to do? Do you practice hands with those doctors?"

Shizune has a starlight in his eyes, "Sōseki -kun is so amazing, it's true. Completed this super-difficult operation!"

Sōseki was somewhat helpless, "It's still too dangerous. If Mizuki didn't insist on it, I actually want to wait until I'm more sure about the operation."

Red bit her lower lip and sighed softly, "Mizuki doesn't want to be too far behind us!"

Sōseki leaned back on the seat and stretched happily." Anyway, Perfection is finally over!"

But at this moment, Ryosuki Aoi, the "Little Smart" in the class, rushed in, "Big news, big news, first-year Hatake Kakashi I have applied for graduation! Moreover, he also named him by name and said that he would challenge the Team Leader again!"

Hearing this, the whole class was in an uproar.

"Graduation and challenge again, what does that one-second man want to do?"

"Does he think the shame last time is not enough?"

At this time, Ryosuki Aoi shook the shaking ones head with emotion, "You don't know yet, just last night, the father of Hatake Kakashi committed suicide at home!"

……

root, in the underground darkroom.

"You actually committed suicide?" Danzo eyebrow raised, and immediately said with a sneer, "Really loser, this kind of person is also worthy of being Shinōbi?"

Aburame Dragon Horse with a black robe A cold voice echoed, "Perhaps because the gap from hero to sinner is too big!"

"That's why I said that Sarutobi's weak policy is so simple and poisonous!" Danzo dismissed it. "The real Shinōbi should not be constrained by excess emotions. Even if they are misunderstood by everyone, they must unswervingly carry out their own Nindō!"

A burst of heat burst into the indifferent eyes of Aburame Dragon Horse. "Shinōbi shouldn't have appeared in the sun in the first place. Only the'root' led by Danzo-sama is Shinōbi's true belonging!"

Danzo accepted the praise without any embarrassment and turned to go deeper. Walked in the darkness, "Let the staff of'root' temporarily shrink back. Based on what I know about the hypocrite of Sarutobi, he estimates that he will use this as an excuse to do something with us soon!"

...

Meanwhile, in Hokage's Office.

The masked Anbu Shinōbi is reporting to Sandaime.

Sandaime looked sad, "Ai, I killed Sakumo!"

(Compared with Saun Hatake, Hatake Sakumo has a higher acceptance rate, and Sakumo is still used here. Name)

The elephant said excitedly, "Hokage -sama, please don't blame yourself too much. Sakumo's death is entirely due to his own cowardice!"

Sandaime smiled wryly , "Cowardly, do you think of him like this?"

Like a firm nodded, "It's just some rumors, and it's not worth paying attention to. Moreover, if you make mistakes, try to make up for the mistakes you made. What Shinōbi is to use suicide to escape reality? Such a weak and incompetent person is not worth Hokage -sama. You are sad for him!"

Sandaime took a breath and sighed, "He is not cowardly, even, He is stronger and brave than anyone else!"

The elephant said in surprise, "Hokage -sama, you..."

Sandaime hands behind ones back, looked towards the window, "He is too smart , But at the same time too kind-hearted. With his intelligence, he would not fail to see the traps Danzo deliberately set, but for those who wanted to harm his companions, he jumped into the trap voluntarily."

"Want to hurt him..." Like a heart startled, he immediately woke up, "Indeed, with his strength of'Konoha's White Fang', mission alone, the success rate will be higher. I thought it was a village. I want him to train newcomers!"

Sandaime shook the shaking ones head, "Cultivating newcomers will not allow them to perform missions that are too difficult!"

It seems to be surprised again "It’s no wonder that he came back from the mission in the past two months with injuries. It turned out that he used his own strong strength to complete the mission forcibly?"

Sandaime let out a puff of smoke, "but even A powerful Shinōbi like him is also impossible to complete the mission with someone dragging his feet every time!"

"so that's how it is, I understand." He sighed with regret in his eyes, " This time the Mission Failure, Shinōbi who was rescued by him still hurt him in the evil intent, making him feel desperate..."

"You still don’t understand. elephant! The reason why he committed suicide is actually because of me! "

"Huh? How could it be you? "

"You have all heard of it, right? The rumor that I want Sakumo to be the purpose of Fourth-Kage. "

"Yes, I heard that you like him and Orochimaru -sama! "

"Actually, I am more optimistic about Sakumo at first. Sandaime sighed again, "But Danzo's temptation also made me see one thing clearly, that is, Sakumo is too kind-hearted!" "

Like a subconscious nodded, even in the eyes of a bystander like him, Sakumo is kind-hearted too much.

"I’m not saying this is bad, but, Not as a Hokage! Hokage bears the future of the village, too kind-hearted temperament will make him make wrong decisions at the most critical moment! "

"For the village, I can only sit and watch him make mistakes, and then let him hide from everyone's sight! "

Like nodded, there are many people in the village who are very optimistic about Sakumo. If Sakumo did not make mistakes, even Hokage-sama would be very passive if he wanted to make a statement.

"But , Since Sakumo is so kind-hearted, he should be able to understand your painstaking efforts, why did you make such a radical move? "

Sandaime's eyes became a lot lonely. "If I guess right, he should think Danzo and I are suppressing him. In order to prevent those who support him from finally breaking with the village, he Made this decision! "

"Is this the truth?" "Xiang sighed regretfully, "If he can ask Hokage -sama, you will not have such a misunderstanding!" "

"He won't come to me because Orochimaru is also involved! "

"Huh? What? "

Sandaime said with a bitter smile, "He probably thinks Orochimaru represents my will, and thinks I do this to help Orochimaru pave the way. "

I can't believe it, "How can Orochimaru -sama..."

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? Even my own dísciple doesn’t recognize my-sensei. "

The elephant was silent and did not speak.

Sandaime waved his hand in disinterest, "Go, clear all the rumors, at least, let Sakumo die as a hero . "

As nodded turned around and left, Sandaime's voice came from behind.

"Also, let the'root' be safer! "
