"Phew... It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!"

Akira wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, glanced at the prompt, and finally felt relieved.

"Father!"

While Akira Hatake was still in a daze, Kakashi had already rushed towards the newly resurrected Sakumo Hatake.

"Slow down..." Although Hatake Sakumo caught Kakashi who was rushing towards him, he had just been revived and the weakness in his body made him stagger backward.

"Father, what's wrong?" Kakashi asked anxiously as he got off Sakumo Hatake and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

The physical weakness, the burning sensation in his internal organs, and the mental confusion all erupted immediately after Sakumo Hatake was resurrected.

"It's nothing, it's just that I feel like my body has been weakened in every way, and my overall strength is probably only one-fifth of what it was at its peak."

Sakumo Hatake revealed a relieved smile, reached out and patted Kakashi's head, gently offering words of comfort.

"Don't worry, I can feel that my body still has a chance to recover. In short, it's good enough that I'm alive."

Sakumo Hatake then looked at Akira Hatake, and couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing to see his swollen right cheek.

This should be the first time that Kakashi has made Akira Hatake look like this.

"Akira, go to Konoha Hospital and find Tsunade. Remember to tell her about my condition and ask her to help you get rid of the bruises on your cheek."

"I know, Father."

Akira Hatake stood up, preparing to head straight for Konoha Hospital.

"By the way, Akira, tell Tsunade that the power of the Bloodline Elimination within me is awakening, but it's putting a huge strain on my body..."

Akira Hatake raised an eyebrow, then nodded heavily, disappearing from the Hatake residence in a few leaps.

He knew his plan had succeeded, but he didn't know how long the bloodline elimination power that had been integrated into his bloodline could sustain Hatake Sakumo's body.

We'll only truly understand all of this once Tsunade arrives.

Overall, however, the gains were quite substantial, and Akira Hatake still had a backup plan, enough to save Sakumo Hatake's life.

However, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night...

Chapter 47 The Impatient Danzo Shimura.

Konoha Hospital, Special Care Ward.

The not-so-large ward was already packed with people, and a quick glance revealed almost every one of Konoha's top leaders, big and small.

Leading the group was Hiruzen Sarutobi, and standing behind him were Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado.

Further down the line are Jiraiya, Orochimaru, the clan leaders of various ninja clans, and the younger generation of Konoha, led by Minato Namikaze.

"Tsunade, what's Sakumo's condition...?"

“Teacher, Sakumo’s condition is critical. There is an extremely destructive force damaging his body. Even if subsequent treatment can stop this, Sakumo will be unable to become a ninja.”

"how so?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi reached up and rubbed his forehead, his expression pained.

Sakumo Hatake's sudden serious injury and loss of qualification to continue as a ninja undoubtedly caused ripples to appear again in the internal struggle that had been stabilizing.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo Shimura standing beside him, his heart filled with sorrow. Danzo Shimura's thoughts were written all over his face.

"Tsunade, is there any chance that Sakumo can recover?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked again, unwilling to give up.

"Yes!" Tsunade nodded, but then poured cold water on the idea, "But the possibility is less than one percent."

"This..." Hiruzen Sarutobi pursed his lips, then shook his head and sighed deeply.

Sakumo Hatake is a useless card now; I'm in for a lot of work from now on...

Taking two steps forward, Hiruzen Sarutobi sat on Sakumo Hatake's hospital bed, reached out to tidy up the blankets for Sakumo, and then looked up at Tsunade.

"Tsunade, what exactly is Sakumo's condition? Was he harmed by someone... or what?"

As he spoke, Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze swept across Danzo Shimura's face, but to his disappointment, he didn't see any useful information.

“It wasn’t a sneak attack; Sakumo brought this upon himself.” Tsunade shook her head helplessly. “I don’t understand why Sakumo would do something so dangerous.”

"What did Sakumo do?"

"After my examination, the power within Shuo Mao that was constantly ravaging his body belongs to the category of bloodline elimination."

"What?! Bloodstained Elimination?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly stood up, his mind flashing rapidly through memories of Sakumo Hatake's past.

He seemed to understand something, but he was also more confused.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remembered that for the past six months, Sakumo Hatake had completely abandoned his political duties and devoted himself to reading various books in the Hokage Building's secret library. Moreover, he would ask Hiruzen Sarutobi for advice on chakra nature transformation every now and then.

He asked why, but Sakumo Hatake said it was to improve Hatake swordsmanship and to incorporate the power of Bloodstained Elimination into it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was quite interested at the time, after all, he had experienced the power of Blood Elimination before in Onoki's hands.

That power to annihilate everything terrified Hiruzen Sarutobi.

If Sakumo Hatake succeeds, Konoha will once again have a very powerful forbidden technique, and the village's ninjutsu reserves will be enriched with another great general!

But today... Sakumo Hatake used the Bloodstained Elimination technique on himself, leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi completely baffled.

They had already succeeded, so why did they have to court disaster?

This was completely out of character for Sakumo Hatake, making Hiruzen Sarutobi suspect there was a conspiracy behind it all.

However, Tsunade's explanation next completely stunned Hiruzen Sarutobi.

“Yes, teacher, it is indeed Bloodstained Elimination.” Tsuna pointed at Sakumo Hatake, “but the Bloodstained Elimination on Sakumo’s body is different from the Dust Release of Tsuchikage Onoki.”

"The Dust Release of Tsuchikage Onoki is a forbidden technique that transcends bloodline limits and most ninjutsu, while the Bloodline Elimination within Sakumo's body already has some resemblance to a bloodline limit."

“This…” Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned. He suddenly understood why Sakumo Hatake was courting death: he wanted to bring blessings to his descendants!

Thinking he had figured things out, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked down at Sakumo Hatake, who was still unconscious, and shook his head with a regretful expression.

"The idea was good, but the result was..."

"Heh, to want to integrate the power of Blood Elimination into one's own bloodline, Sakumo really dares to dream!" Shimura Danzo finally spoke, and his words were full of sarcasm.

He quickly steered the conversation toward the Hokage position, showing no regard for Sakumo Hatake's life or death, "Sarutobi, Sakumo brought this upon himself, but Konoha cannot stop moving forward. The matter of preparing for the next Hokage should be put on the agenda."

"Lord Danzo, Sakumo is not dead yet. Isn't it inappropriate for you to say these things now?"

Tsunade, being straightforward, couldn't stand Shimura Danzo and directly confronted him, saying, "Besides, as long as Sakumo is alive, unless he resigns from his position as Hokage candidate, you have no right to unilaterally dismiss him unless he commits a major offense!"

"Tsunade, Sakumo Hatake is now a cripple!" Danzo Shimura said with a grim face, staring directly into Tsunade's cold eyes, determined not to give an inch.

"No, Sakumo still has a chance!"

"Ha, just for that one percent chance you mentioned before, you're going to plunge Konoha into turmoil?!"

"Konoha still has its teachers. Even if the position of Hokage candidate is just for show, Konoha won't descend into chaos!"

The confrontation between the two made Hiruzen Sarutobi even more annoyed. He hadn't expected that the aftereffects of Sakumo Hatake's collapse would come so quickly.

Moreover, Danzo Shimura was too impatient!

"Enough!" Hiruzen Sarutobi displayed his authority, and Tsunade and Danzo Shimura immediately fell silent.

Once the situation was under control, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tsunade again and said, "Tsunade, tell me what that one percent chance is."

"Teacher, the power of the Bloodline Elimination is indeed very domineering. Whether it is the body, objects, or ninjutsu, they will all fall apart under that power."

But Sakumo withstood this forbidden power with his own body, which is nothing short of a miracle.

Where there is a miracle, there is bound to be good fortune. Sakumo has successfully integrated the power of the Bloodline Elimination into himself, and he is now in a state similar to that at the beginning of the birth of a Bloodline Limit. As long as he can hold on, Konoha will have another powerful Bloodline Limit family in 30 years!

hiss……

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, everyone present gasped in shock.

The most powerful aspect of a bloodline limit is not its power, but its ability to be passed down to offspring through bloodline.

For any bloodline ninja, their minimum skill level is at least Chunin, which is almost the end point for an ordinary civilian ninja's entire life from birth.

Therefore, the potential and importance of bloodline families are self-evident.

If Sakumo Hatake were to successfully integrate the Bloodline Elimination, which surpasses 90% of things in the ninja world, into his own bloodline, the future of the Hatake clan and the future of Konoha would be so dazzling that it would be impossible to look directly at them!

"So what?" Shimura Danzo didn't care about any of that. "Even if Hatake Sakumo can hold out, it will take him a long time. Can you guarantee what Konoha will be like then?"

"You...!" Tsuna pointed at Shimura Danzo, clearly angered by his words.

"Alright, Danzo, I'll discuss the Hokage preparations in a separate meeting. Let's not bring it up in the hospital room now."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained relatively calm. After getting up from the hospital bed, he patted Tsunade on the shoulder. "Tsunade, Sakumo's future rests on your shoulders..."

"I will!"

"Let's leave the rest of the time to Tsunade and the Hatake brothers. We won't be of any use staying here." Hiruzen Sarutobi pushed open the hospital room door. "We'll meet in the conference room later to discuss how to handle the aftermath."

Chapter 48 This damned land of gentle pleasures.

"You two, come in."

After Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others left, Tsunade waved to Akira Hatake and Kakashi, who were standing outside the door, with a somewhat embarrassed look on her face.

Tsunade and Sakumo Hatake had a very good relationship, but now that Sakumo Hatake is in trouble, it's somewhat unreasonable that his relatives Akira Hatake and Kakashi can only wait outside the door.

Although it wasn't Tsunade's fault, she bears some responsibility, both morally and logically.

If she had been more assertive back then, Akira Hatake and Kakashi, as family members, wouldn't have had to endure such agonizing waiting.

"Lady Tsunade, my father..."

Although Kakashi was already a Chunin, his mindset was not yet fully mature, and the presence of his father lying in the hospital bed made Kakashi feel very anxious.

"Don't worry, Kakashi, Sakumo will be fine." Tsunade still intended to keep the truth to herself. "Go in and check on Sakumo, but don't disturb him. He needs to rest now."

"Thank you."

Akira Hatake pulled Kakashi to bow to Tsunade, and then the two entered the ward and stood beside the bed looking at Sakumo Hatake.
