The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

But the consequences of this are not something Konoha can bear.

It has only been a year since the Second Ninja World War ended in early 39th year of Konoha.

However, the smoke of war seems to be rising again.

Especially since Konoha’s combat power is no longer at its peak!

Why do you say that?

Because, as the Second Ninja World War broke out and ended, Tsunade, one of the Three Ninjas, first experienced the death of her biological brother, Senju Nawaki.

Afterwards, he witnessed his lover Kato Dan being disemboweled and died in front of him.

Under this double blow, Tsunade directly suffered from hemophobia.

Now, Tsunade has left Konoha and is now hanging out in some casino.

Jiraiya also left the village in pursuit of Tsunade.

Konoha suddenly lost two Kage-level warriors, the Third Hokage was getting older, and Danzo's strength was apparently falling below the Kage level.

If this happened again like in the original story, Hatake Sakumo would have been forced to death.

Then I guess other ninja villages will definitely rush in and try to take a piece of meat from Konoha.

"Senior Sakumo is the ninja who truly inherited the will of fire." Thinking of all of the above, Cang Si sighed.

Wherever the leaves are flying, the fire is endless!

This is a famous saying that represents Konoha. Now in the entire village, Hatake Sakumo is probably the only one who has inherited it completely.

At most there will be one more Minato Namikaze!

The Third Hokage may have had this ambition when he was young, but now that he is getting older, he has his own selfish desires.

Cang Si himself asked himself what he couldn't do and didn't want to do.

Cang Si had never thought of sacrificing himself for the sake of the village.

He is just a selfish person, so selfish that he only wants to protect a few people.

However, the Konoha high-level officials originally just wanted to suppress Hatake Sakumo's prestige and certainly did not think that this would force Hatake Sakumo to death.

For Hatake Sakumo, who valued the Will of Fire more than his own life, this was no less than being betrayed by the Will of Fire.

"Senior Shuomao, you once saved my grandfather's life. No matter what, I will definitely repay you for this favor!" Cang Si secretly thought in his heart.

I made this decision secretly and also had a plan.

Cang Si wants to change something!

Sure enough, just two or three days after this matter had calmed down, there was another wave of disturbance.

"Hatake Sakumo gave up the mission for one person. He doesn't deserve to be a ninja!"

"Yes, how can we just give up the mission!"

"Shouldn't we sacrifice everything for the mission?"

"Sakumo-sama shouldn't do that."

If three days ago the villagers were just talking about this matter normally.

Now it’s a big event!

There is even a strong personal touch in it.

Believe that the mission is supreme and one can sacrifice oneself for the mission!

It is absolutely impossible to say that there was no one to guide this process.

Even some of the ninjas who had originally been able to view this matter fairly and impartially were influenced and joined the team to defeat Hatake Sakumo.

Facing the accusations from most of the villagers and ninjas in the village, Hatake Sakumo remained calm.

He wasn't angry at all, nor did he have any intention of going out to explain.

It makes people feel as if the Hatake Sakumo that is being discussed outside is not him.

"Damn it, those ignorant guys actually made up such a malicious story about Sakumo-senpai!" Uchiha Yan said angrily.

As Uchiha Yan spoke, the friends who were walking on the street with him around him also expressed their agreement.

Whether it was Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, or the "Ino-Shika-Cho" trio, they all spoke up to speak up for Hatake Sakumo.

During this time, only Cang Si remained silent.

"Cang Si, what do you think?" Seeing that his friend had not spoken, Uchiha Yan couldn't help but ask.

"It's obvious that someone is secretly guiding public opinion in this matter. It's useless for us to complain." Cang Si explained lightly.

"What! How dare someone do this! That's Lord Hatake Sakumo of the Konoha White Fang!" Uzumaki Kushina looked incredulous.

"No, this is very likely!" The one who said this was Nara Shikaku.

As a member of the Nara clan known for its intelligence, he is also the designated next generation clan leader.

Nara Shikaku also realized the unusualness of the matter when the rumors began to spread.

"Shikaku, tell me, who is targeting Lord Sakumo? I must find that person and give him a good beating!" Uchiha En, who had followed Hatake Sakumo for quite a long time, spoke out angrily again.

Since going to the battlefield, Uchiha En's impulsive personality has been taken care of by Hatake Sakumo a lot.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that Hatake Sakumo is half of Uchiha En’s teacher!

Therefore, when this incident happened, the angriest person was Uchiha Yan.

"Well, I don't know who it is specifically. I can only say that Sakumo-senpai may have blocked someone's way, or didn't conform to someone's ideas." Nara Shikaku said cryptically.

In fact, he also guessed who did this, but he couldn't say it, so he could only say that he didn't know who it was.

"Damn it, even Shikaku doesn't know." Uchiha Yan clenched his fists and waved them angrily.

"Okay, let's go to Senior Sakumo's house to visit him first." Namikaze Minato spoke to comfort Uchiha En.

However, Cang Si could tell from the look in Namikaze Minato's eyes that although the other party was not as foresighted as himself, he must have thought of something.

I wonder if Minato Namikaze will be disappointed with the Konoha high-level officials.

If he is disappointed, I believe Minato Namikaze will want to fight for the position of Hokage even more in the future, and then change Konoha through his own efforts.

Chapter 87 Cang Si in Action

As soon as I arrived at the door of Hatake Sakumo's house, I saw Orochimaru walking out.

"Senior Sakumo, I'll take my leave first." After saying this, Orochimaru turned around and saw Souji and his group.

"Master Orochimaru!"

Several people bowed respectfully to Orochimaru.

"Well, are you guys here to see Sakumo-senpai as well?" Orochimaru asked with a mysterious tone in his voice.

"Yes."

It was Minato Namikaze, the leader, who gave the answer.

"Then you guys go in. I'll leave first." Orochimaru simply moved aside to make way.

Before leaving, Orochimaru glanced at Cang Si secretly.

But Cang Si did not respond to this.

"Why are you here too? Don't worry, I'm fine." Hatake Sakumo came out and said after seeing Souji and the others.

"Nothing, I just wanted to chat with Sakumo-senpai." This time it was Uchiha En who answered.

After inviting the few people into the house, Minato and his companions began to ask around about Hatake Sakumo's situation.

But all of them were blocked by Hatake Sakumo with a smile.

It was not until nearly evening that they realized they could not get any more information out of them, so they said goodbye and left.

"I didn't expect that Lord Orochimaru and Senior Hatake Sakumo have such a good relationship." Yamanaka Inoichi said in surprise.

As for why we can confirm that the two have a good relationship, all of this was heard from Hatake Sakumo just now.

This was the first time Cang Si knew this.

Originally, Cang Si thought that Orochimaru was also behind the rumors about Hatake Sakumo.

But from what Orochimaru saw just now when he came to visit Hatake Sakumo, and from what Hatake Sakumo himself said about the relationship between them.

Cang Si immediately dismissed this idea.

I don't think Orochimaru would be someone who likes to do this kind of thing.

What’s more, it’s the current Orochimaru!

"Huh, luckily Senior Sakumo doesn't seem to be affected at all." Uchiha Yan said with a sigh of relief on the way out.

Cang Si did not comment on Uchiha Yan's words.

Strictly speaking, any normal person would have a slightly different reaction to being troubled by so many rumors.

But, Hatake Sakumo was too calm!

The calmer you are, the more abnormal it seems!

However, Cang Si did not directly say what was in his mind. After all, even if he said it, the others might not believe it.

Hatake Sakumo must be feeling tense right now.

If one or two more straws were added at this time, it would directly crush his heart!

Cang Si had encountered this kind of thing in his previous life.

His college roommate was very calm when they broke up, but after a few drinks, he broke down completely.

If it weren't for the other roommates stopping me, I would have probably collapsed and jumped into the river.

Hatake Sakumo's current situation is very similar to this.

"By the way, I have to go to the Fire Nation's Daimyo Castle to carry out a special mission tomorrow, so I won't go with you." Before parting, Cang Si said to his friends.

"Ah? Didn't we agree that we haven't carried out a mission together for a long time? Do you need our help with your mission, Souji?" Uzumaki Kushina asked regretfully.

"Don't worry, I can finish it quickly by myself." Cang Si actually wanted to say, we are all jonin, there is no mission that requires us to carry out together, right?

After explaining things to his friends, Cang Si went straight home.

The purpose of Cang Si's trip to the Fire Country's Daimyo Castle this time.

I just want to see if I can save Hatake Sakumo.

In order to save Hatake Sakumo, Souji needs the help of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire!

As for the so-called special mission to the Fire Nation's Daimyo Castle, it was just a simple B-level mission that Cang Si could easily handle on his own.

When Souji got up the next day and was about to go out, he heard even worse news for Hatake Sakumo.

The teammates who were originally grateful to Hatake Sakumo for being rescued also turned against him at this time.

The.

The other party directly and publicly stood up and accused Hatake Sakumo.

Saying that Hatake Sakumo is not worthy of being a ninja!

All the losses caused to Konoha by this mission must be borne by Hatake Sakumo alone!

These words were undoubtedly like another stab of the knife into Hatake Sakumo's heart!

The betrayal from his teammates was something that Hatake Sakumo had never expected.

It can be said that the impact of his teammates' words on Hatake Sakumo was greater than that of hundreds of other villagers in Konoha!

The betrayal of teammates also attracted more neutral villagers and ninjas in Konoha to join the movement to overthrow Hatake Sakumo.

At this moment, at least more than half of the people in the village asked Hatake Sakumo to step forward and take responsibility for the losses of this mission!

As for what responsibility they should take, I guess even those shouting slogans don’t know.

After that day, Hatake Sakumo never left the house again.

At this moment, in the underground base at the root of Konoha.
