Hokage: Ryo’s Path - Chapter 267

[Chapter 266 The truth about Sakumo’s suicide]

The incident of Orochimaru caused an uproar in Konoha. Lord Orochimaru, one of the legendary three ninjas, would actually do such a thing.

Compared with the commoners, the focus of each family is on how Orochimaru got the first-generation cells, and what to do with these two ninjas with wooden escapes.

Suzune has lived in the mountain family for a long time, and the mountain family has the mountain far away.

The performance of Shan Zhongyuan on the night of the nine tails is seen by all the families. They are very clear that they can’t offend Shan Zhongyuan with their own family’s strength, so the Lingyin stays in the Shanzhong family and each family chooses to acquiesce.

In the conference room, various families were arguing about Yamato’s ownership. Suddenly, Anbu, directly under Hatake Sakumo, broke in and whispered something to Hatake Sakumo.

Hatake Sakumo’s face changed greatly after hearing this, he immediately put down the meeting and rushed out.

At Konoha Hospital, Yamanaka Ryo helplessly looked at Kakashi who was wrapped into a zongzi.

‘Uncle Snake was too ruthless, he said he would be merciful, and even beat Kakashi like this. ‘ Yamanaka Ryo complained about Orochimaru’s behavior in his heart.

And Kakashi was thinking at this time, why did Orochimaru not kill him, it stands to reason that Anbu, who was chasing him, should be killed? And Orochimaru’s performance is more like accompany him to practice.

Just when Kakashi was tangled, Hatake Sakumo arrived.

Seeing Kakashi on the bed, Hatake Sakumo frowned, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: “Yuan, how is Kakashi?”

“It’s just a skin injury, but there are a lot of injured places, and Kakashi’s body is a little weak, so it is not suitable for medical ninjutsu treatment now, it is best to rest for a few days.”

Hatake Sakumo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and Kakashi was fine.

“Then Uncle Sakumo, I’m leaving first, you and Kakashi have a good chat!” After saying that, Yamanaka Ryo turned around and left.

Neither father and son are talkative. After a long silence, Hatake Sakumo said, “Kakashi, how does it feel to face Orochimaru?”

Kakashi lowered his head in shame. When facing Orochimaru, he didn’t even have the courage to fight. Orochimaru suppressed him with just his momentum.

Seeing Kakashi’s expression, Hatake Sakumo probably understood Kakashi’s feelings at this time.

As a father, Hatake Sakumo should comfort Kakashi, but as a ninja, this experience is of great help to Kakashi’s growth, provided that Kakashi can overcome his fear of Orochimaru by himself.

After hesitating for a moment, Hatake Sakumo still did not open his mouth to persuade him. He hoped that Kakashi could overcome it by himself.

The ward fell silent again, this time it was Kakashi who broke the silence: “Father, why did you kill yourself when I was young.”

Hatake Sakumo was taken aback and asked, “Why do you ask this all of a sudden?”

“It’s because of Orochimaru. He told me when I can understand you and when will I really become stronger. I thought about the only thing I don’t understand about you is that you committed suicide.”

Hatake Sakumo did not answer immediately, but instead asked: “Kakashi, why do you think I committed suicide?”

After thinking about it, Kakashi replied, “It’s because of the pressure of the village and your self-esteem!”

Hatake Sakumo shook his head: “Kakashi, do you think I’m the type of person who will commit suicide because I can’t stand the pressure? Or do you think self-esteem is more important than life?”

Kakashi became more and more puzzled: “Why did the father commit suicide before?”

“It was me who doubted my beliefs.”

“belief?”

“Yes, faith! What I have always pursued is that ninjas are tools for performing tasks, and everything is based on tasks. In that task, I chose to give up the task to save my companions.”

“Then why did you make this choice, father?”

Hatake Sakumo recalled that time, smiled and said: “First of all, he is my friend, in fact, probably because he is also a father!”

Kakashi was stunned, he did not understand what Hatake Sakumo said.

“When he was on the mission, he often mentioned his children to me, and every time he mentioned his own children, I would always think of you, maybe because I didn’t want his children to be born without a father, so I chose Abandon the mission to save him.”

Kakashi never thought that the reason why Hatake Sakumo gave up the mission was this, and his heart was a little complicated for a while.

“I have been asking myself in my heart when the mission failed. I have done the right thing. I have broken my own beliefs, and I have also violated the rules of the ninja world. The ninja gave up the mission, which is absurd. In addition to the village My attitude and the accusation of the person I saved made me more sure that what I did was wrong. A person who violated his beliefs is not qualified to live, so I chose to kill myself.”

“But father, why did you change your mind after saving you from afar?”

“Because Yuan helped me find new beliefs.”

Kakashi’s eyes lit up and asked anxiously, “New belief? What is it?”

“It’s to protect, to protect the village and people I love. At that time, after Yuan Yuan helped me with the operation, they communicated with me using the secret techniques of their mountain family. I have already died once, and my views on some issues have also changed a lot. Change, from afar, I understand that performing tasks is not the whole of ninjas, and the power of ninjas should be used to protect the people you love.”

“Protect the one you love!” Kakashi caught the key of Hatake Sakumo’s words and fell into contemplation.

Hatake Sakumo didn’t say anything, turned around and left Konoha Hospital.

After Yamanaka Ryo came out of Konoha, he went straight to the archives, trying to find the ninja registration about Uchiha Izumi’s father from the archives.

Yamanaka Ryo did not know the name of Izumi Uchiha’s father, but only knew that her mother was a member of the Uchiha clan. It is common for men of the Uchiha clan to marry foreigners, and it should be rare for women to marry outside.

Sure enough, after Yamanaka Ryo told the management staff about this condition, the management staff quickly found five registration forms. Among the five people, four were ninjas above the Jounin, and the only one named Taki was the Chunin.

Yamanaka Ryo picked up the registration form, looked at Taki’s photo, and smiled after a moment.

Afterwards, Yamanaka Ryo went to Hatake Sakumo and asked him to help gather information about Taki.

After a while, Anbu Ninja brought a scroll, there is not much information about Taki, after all, he is just a Chunin.

Yamanaka Ryo opened the scroll and browsed it quickly. After seeing the identity of Taki’s orphan, Yamanaka Ryo became more and more sure of his guess.

“Uncle Sakumo, I think I know why Suzune’s Mudun went berserk.”

“About this ninja?”

“That’s right, he is Izumi Uchiha’s father. Suzine said that Mu Dun was mad when he sensed the special chakra in Izumi Uchiha’s body, and seeing this person, I probably know the special chakra in Izumi Uchiha’s body. What’s the carat?”
