This Water Shadow is very strong, but overly cautious.

It can be said that without the second generation Hokage, the direction of the entire ninja world will be completely rewritten.

Senju Tobirama invented countless ninjutsu in his lifetime, and many of them were powerful and famous.

Among them, the young Hatake Sakumo had the honor of observing the second generation when he was developing a certain ninjutsu.

Hatake Sakumo was extremely impressed by this ninjutsu.

What he didn't know was that this currently "unknown" technique would become famous throughout the ninja world in the future, and would almost bring about a "grand ending" ahead of time.

The name of this technique is - Eight Gates Ninjutsu!

Due to some reasons, Hatake Sakumo did not get the opportunity to learn the Eight Gates Ninjutsu.

However, because he had observed the process of the second generation developing this ninjutsu, Hatake Sakumo also gained some inspiration.

Based on some principles of the Eight Gates Ninjutsu, he developed a ninjutsu with similar effects but more serious side effects.

To use the Eight Gates Ninjutsu not only requires rigorous training, but also puts a huge strain on the body.

The side effects of this technique developed by Hatake Sakumo himself are several times stronger than the Eight Gates Ninjutsu.

Therefore, when this technique was first developed, Sakumo rejected it in his heart and never thought that he would use it one day.

Therefore, Sakumo didn't even give this technique a name.

But what he never expected was that one day Sakumo would use it.

Chapter 576, That’s the direction of Konoha

"boom!!!"

Pale blue chakra burst out from Hatake Sakumo's body as if it were free.

Shuomao's originally weak momentum suddenly froze, and a lonely and cold aura like a wolf burst out from Shuomao's body.

This powerful aura caused the Mist Ninjas, who were originally coming at them aggressively, to collectively pause.

"what is this?"

Looking at the surging aura of Hatake Sakumo, the Mist Ninja leader's expression instantly became solemn.

Hatake Sakumo obviously had no intention of answering the Mist Ninja leader's questions.

After coughing up a mouthful of blood, Sakumo grinned and raised his hand to wipe the blood from his lips.

"cough cough"

"Hehehe"

"Although my talent cannot be compared with that of the Second Generation Master."

"But this crude imitation is sufficient for the moment."

"See for yourself, this is the wisdom of the Second Hokage of Konoha"

Then, Hatake Sakumo stood up straight and spoke in a low voice.

But what he didn't notice was that after hearing his words, the "Mist Ninjas" in front of him all showed complicated expressions in their eyes.

Sakumo once again drew out the ninja sword that had accompanied him in battles for many years and held it in one hand.

"kill!"

With a loud shout.

Konoha White Fang began his last dance in the ninja world.

The cold blade light continued to tear the enemy's limbs, and blood continued to splash onto the ground along the pure white short blade.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!!!"

"He is at the end of his strength!"

"There's no need to continue wasting energy here!"

The Mist Ninja leader looked at Hatake Sakumo, who looked like a demon, with fear in his eyes. He could only shout loudly.

The Mist Ninja leader's hands kept shaking.

It can be clearly seen that a finger is missing from the palm of his hand holding the kunai.

This was cut off during the battle with Sakumo just now.

At this moment, blood was constantly dripping out of the severed finger.

Led by the leader of the Mist Ninja, the Mist Ninjas retreated and fled in all directions.

Finally, Hatake Sakumo repelled the attack of the Mist Ninjas.

Looking at the retreating Mist Ninjas, Sakumo's eyes were calm, without a trace of fluctuation.

Available in the next second.

"Snapped"

Sakumo's body fell limply to the ground, as if all his strength had been drained away.

And in his arms, he was still holding the boy named "Hai".

Sakumo's consciousness gradually faded, but he still remembered one thing clearly at this moment.

That is - he completed the village's mission.

The breath of death continued to approach the hero of Konoha.

But at least before the end of all this comes, there is one more thing for him to do.

"Rust"

Sakumo struggled to stand up with great difficulty, limping forward.

At this moment, his consciousness was so blurred that he could not see the surrounding scenery clearly, and his ear canals were filled with all kinds of noises.

But he still clearly remembered one direction.

There - is the direction of Konoha.

I don’t know how much time passed, nor how far Sakumo, who was only hanging on to his last breath, had advanced.

Finally, a group of blurry figures appeared in front of Sakumo.

Green vest and spiral forehead protector.

It's a Konoha ninja.

At this moment, an incomparable sense of ease filled Hatake Sakumo's body.

"Snapped!"

He seemed to have been drained of all his energy and fell heavily to the ground.

The shadow of darkness and death gradually devoured Sakumo's remaining consciousness.

He realized clearly that he was about to die.

"Sakumo-sama!!!"

In the distance, the Konoha ninjas saw Hatake Sakumo fall to the ground and rushed over in a hurry.

Several Konoha ninjas surrounded Hatake Sakumo and checked his condition one after another.

Finally, they looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

A Konoha ninja spoke with a sad look on his face.

"Lord Sakumo, do you have any last words?"

Hearing the sound, Shumao's body trembled slightly, and a trace of emotion flashed across his stiff face.

At this moment, he thought a lot.

Especially when he thought of his young son who was far away in Konoha and had not yet grown up.

I don’t know what Kaka873xi’s life will be like after his death.

But after tossing his thoughts for a while, Hatake Sakumo still used up his last bit of strength, grabbed the hand of the Konoha ninja, and placed it on "Hai"'s body.

"my task"

"finished"

Hatake Sakumo said with his last bit of strength.

Perhaps infected by the tragic atmosphere, the Konoha ninja also became excited.

His eyes were red, and he raised his other hand and grabbed Hatake Sakumo's hand.

It was not until this moment that Hatake Sakumo suddenly realized.

This Konoha ninja only has four fingers

At this moment, an incomparable feeling of suffocation came over Hatake Sakumo.

He widened his eyes and looked at the Konoha ninja in front of him with red eyes in disbelief.

In an instant, all previous doubts were answered.

But before he could think about it, Shumao had already stopped breathing.

The next second, the shadow of death forever shrouded the legendary ninja.

"Konoha White Fang" Hatake Sakumo——died in battle! .

Chapter 577, Death of White Fang

Tonight, the entire Konoha is covered in white.

The Hokage's office has announced that the ninja "Konoha White Fang", who made great contributions in the Sand Ninja War, died in a mission.

Hatake Sakumo's sacrifice was so sudden, so sudden that even the ninjas in Konoha had no time to react.

The people who found this most difficult to accept were the Hatake clan.

After all, the Hatake clan is just a small ninja clan, and Hatake Sakumo is the backbone of the entire Hatake clan.

Once Sakumo dies, the Hatake clan's situation in Konoha will probably be difficult.

But no matter how hard it is for the ninjas of the Hatake clan to accept it, this is the cruel reality.

In the morgue, the Third Hokage, dressed in a white divine robe and holding a pipe, came to see Hatake Sakumo for the "last time".

At the same time, I would like to express my condolences to the Hatake clan who had just lost their pillar.

In front of Hatake Sakumo's corpse, several ninjas with striking silver hair all had sad expressions on their faces, looking at the dead Sakumo with miserable faces.

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked in quietly and spoke in a low voice.

"Condolences"

As he spoke, a hint of sadness appeared on his face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice attracted the attention of several people who were attracted by Sakumo's corpse.

"Lord Hokage"

The ninjas of the Hatake clan stood up and spoke respectfully to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Only a short, silver-haired boy was still lying on Hatake Sakumo's body, indifferent to Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrival.

"Hey"

"Sakumo is great."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly and looked at the silver-haired boy lying on Hatake Sakumo.

The ninjas of the Hatake clan quickly noticed Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze.

"He's Kakashi, Hatake Kakashi."

"Sakumo's only son"

A ninja from the Hatake clan then began to explain.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was naturally very aware of Kakashi's existence.

After all, as the sharpest blade under Sarutobi Hiruzen, it is impossible for Hiruzen not to do background checks on Hatake Sakumo.

But this was only the first time he met Kakashi.
