Warlock Invasion of Naruto.

Sakumo: "From today onwards, this 'white tooth' is yours."

"But..." Kakashi hesitated, wondering if his father was planning to give up being a ninja.

Although he wanted to obtain the 'White Fang' from his father, he envisioned that one day his father would grow old, and he would master the Hatake-ryu swordsmanship to its fullest extent and rightfully inherit it.

The day came too early; Kakashi felt only astonishment, not joy.

At this moment, Sakumo walked to the bedside, took out a samurai sword that he had just wiped clean during the day from the wooden box, and casually swung it a few times.

A chilling flash of light was followed by a sharp whistling sound as the blade cut through the air.

Even with the most ordinary sword, Hatake Sakumo is still the White Fang of Konoha.

"Let's go practice our swordsmanship."

"Yes!" Kakashi nodded heavily. As long as his father was not affected by this incident, even if he gave up being a ninja, he would still be his role model. He would take his father's place and make the 'White Fang' regain its fame in his hands.

The father and son walked towards the backyard.

Unfortunately, if Kakashi had been observant enough, he would have discovered two more swords in the wooden box: the slightly longer one was called a wakizashi, and the shorter one, which resembled a dagger, was called a katana.

......

At night, a sudden clap of thunder and lightning woke Kakashi up.

Outside the window, snowflakes drifted down from the sky.

"Snowing?"

Kakashi got out of bed and opened the window.

It's normal for it to snow in winter, but it's very rare to have thunder during a snowfall.

Thinking that Sakumo might also be woken up by the thunder, Kakashi walked towards the next room.

He pushed open the slightly ajar door.

Rumble!

A series of thunderclaps sounded, accompanied by flashes of white lightning, and Kakashi was able to see the scene inside the room clearly—

Sakumo lay curled up on the floor, his blood soaking the entire floor of the room.

......

White Fang is dead!

She died quietly at home.

He gave his confession by committing seppuku.

There is no second!

When Kushina brought the news, Shiraha, who was mixing a potion in his home laboratory, was in a daze.

He walked out of the room and into the courtyard.

It started snowing heavily last night, and by the end of the night, the yard was covered with a thick layer of snow.

A few snowflakes were still falling from the sky.

Bai Yu reached out and caught the crystal-clear snowflakes. A cool sensation came from her palm as the snowflakes gradually melted.

In the past few days, Bai Yu has gained a deeper understanding of the true nature of Konoha.

"Baiyu, why did Lord Sakumo commit suicide? Was it really because he was too psychologically fragile and couldn't bear the gossip, as others have said, that he chose to end his life?" Kushina asked, looking at the silent Baiyu.

Bai Yu shook his head and sighed, "Politicians will never understand Shuo Mao's magnanimity!"

They are used to exchanging and compromising for interests, so they think everyone is the same.

Little did they know that Sakumo, for the sake of his beliefs, chose to die to prove his faith.

Perhaps, Shuo Mao's death was meant to make the higher-ups understand that faith cannot be trampled upon.

At the same time, it also made the higher-ups understand what the price of arrogance is!

His death was not without meaning.

From now on, if the higher-ups ever want to use the Will of Fire as a tool to incite the masses again, they should probably think of the lesson learned from Sakumo's example.

How tragic and lamentable!

Those who carry firewood for the masses should not be left to freeze to death in the wind and snow;

Those who pave the way for freedom should not be trapped in thorns.

Shuo Mao's death was his tragedy.

It is also a tragedy for the entire Leaf Village.

He defended the true Will of Fire with his life and is a person worthy of respect.

Bai Yu gazed in the direction of Shuo Mao's residence, feeling a fire burning in his chest, and blurted out:

"I laugh as I brandish my sword to the sky; whether I stay or go, my heart remains steadfast like the Kunlun Mountains!"

Bai Yu bowed deeply.

Although Kushina couldn't understand what language Shiraha was using, Shiraha's powerful tone filled her with a sense of heroic tragedy, and she bowed along with him.

[Chapter 93. Stupidity and Evil (6 Updates)]

Swordsmanship cannot save Konoha.

But perhaps death can.

At least that's what Sakumo thought, so he chose to burn himself out, hoping to illuminate the darkness of Konoha.

Unfortunately, some people have no heart.

Once the foundation rots, the city wall won't last long.

Not many people came to the Konoha Cemetery to mourn Sakumo.

In the village, a considerable number of people still believe that Shuo Mao chose to commit suicide because he was too psychologically fragile.

After all, foolish people always hope to have followers and partners, rather than going it alone.

Looking at the cold tombstone, Shiraha's determination to help Kushina rebuild the Land of Whirlpools grew stronger.

Apart from Tsunade, who was away on a mission, other people who usually interacted with Sakumo gradually arrived.

The group, dressed in black, took turns standing before the tombstone to pay their respects.

Kakashi stood beside the tombstone, his eyes vacant, bowing to each of the mourners who came to pay their respects.

Just like the scene at the end of the last Shinobi World War, when everyone mourned at the tombstone under the leadership of the Third Hokage, Orochimaru stood alone in the corner, quietly watching everything, as if he were independent of this world, and everything was irrelevant to him.

However, Bai Yu sensed his chakra and became much colder at that moment.

Of the four Jonin who previously belonged to Sakumo's team, only Uchiha Munejin came to pay his respects. He solemnly approached the tombstone, observed a moment of silence, and then turned and left.

Just as Shiraha and Kushina were about to leave, a distraught figure stumbled over, crawled to Sakumo's gravestone, and muttered incessantly:

"No...no, this wasn't my intention, I didn't want it to be like this...I didn't want it to be like this..."

Jiraiya shook his head and sighed. Minato Namikaze stepped forward and tried to help Kota Sakamoto up.

A cold laugh rang out, sounding unusually out of place at the solemn and respectful memorial service.

Jiraiya frowned slightly and asked, "Hakuha, what are you doing?"

"Senior Kota, have you heard the story of the farmer and the snake?" Shiraha looked at Kota Sakamoto: "The farmer used his body heat to warm the frozen snake, but was bitten to death by the snake."

Kota Sakamoto's trembling body suddenly froze.

"Baiyu, stop talking. Kota didn't mean it!" Jiraiya said in a deep voice.

“Sometimes, fools are more hateful than bad people!” Bai Yu paused. “Senior Xingtai, which one are you?”

Sakamoto Kota raised his head, his expression blank and his eyes vacant.

After saying that, Shiraha didn't even look at Sakamoto Kota's reaction, and led Kushina away from the cemetery.

Halfway there, Kushina pulled Shiraha to a stop.

She clenched her fist and said firmly, "Bai Yu, don't worry, whether they're fools or bad guys, I'll make sure they stay far away from you. Anyone who dares to come near you, I'll beat them to a pulp!"

"Aren't you an idiot yourself?!"

The nine-tailed fox in the sealed space complained.

Bai Yu smiled knowingly and hugged Kushina: "I will protect you too."

"Mmm." Kushina buried her head in Shiroha's chest, listening to his heartbeat.

"Tch~" Seeing that Kushina ignored it, Kurama severed the chakra connection and closed its eyes to sleep.

The two snuggled together, feeling each other's warmth.

......

Hyuga clan.

Hyuga Hideto followed the Jonin from the branch family to the main family's residence.

On behalf of the clan head, Hyuga Hiashi, the heir of the main branch, commended Hyuga Hideto.

"Yingren, the family is very satisfied with your recent performance and hopes you will continue to work hard."

"Yes! Thank you, Lord Hiashi!" Hyuga Hideto bowed respectfully. Since becoming Orochimaru's disciple, his treatment within the Hyuga clan had improved considerably, but there was no fundamental difference; he was still treated like a "dog."

In the Hyuga clan, the main family controls everything in the branch family.

The status of a member of a separate family is roughly equivalent to that of a dog, though slightly better, since the main family still needs to maintain a basic semblance of kinship.

Of course, saving face is not the same as friendship.

When Hyuga Hideto was very young, he suffered the consequences of being a caged bird because he questioned why there was a distinction between the main family and the branch family.

The family's commendation was not an honor to him.

Many members of the split family, having gotten used to kneeling, can no longer stand up.
