Chapter 115: Hatake Sakumo’s heart is like a killing hammer Chapter 115: Hatake Sakumo’s heart is like a killing hammer
Chapter 115 In Hatake Sakumo’s heart, Qing Shui, a deadly heavy
hammer, slowly knocked on the door of Hatake Sakumo’s house.
Along the way, Qing Shui activated the sensory ninjutsu, amplified his five senses, and listened to the discussions in the village.
The situation was worse than Qing Shui imagined.
Not only the students of the Ninja School, but also the ordinary villagers began to discuss this matter, and the enthusiasm increased steadily, as if there was an invisible big hand pushing everything.
This topic does have its own gimmick, involving the will of fire and the code of ninja.
In the current ninja world, this is a moral dilemma like the trolley problem, with both sides in a dilemma.
Senju Tobirama’s face became more and more ugly. He once used his life to prove that the will of fire has warmth, but now some people seem to want to deny his sacrifice and want to let ninjas return to the era of being cold tools. …
After a long time, the door of Hatake Sakumo’s house slowly opened.
What caught his eye was a man with hair as messy as a chicken coop and eyes that were dull and lifeless.
In the past, Hatake Sakumo was like a sharp knife unsheathed. He always smiled leisurely, and his posture was extremely tall. He looked like a man worthy of trust, calm and confident.
But now, although his clothes are still neat, his eyes are full of confusion and confusion, and his posture is unconsciously slumped, as if he is afraid that others will find him.
This strong contrast made Qing Shui a little surprised.
“Please come in, Qing Shui-kun.”
Hatake Sakumo forced a smile, walked into the house, and poured a cup of tea for Qing Shui: “I’m sorry, Qing Shui-kun, for letting the younger generations in the village see me in this terrible state. Looks like.”
Qing Shui looked around the room, Kakashi was not at home.
“Mr. Sakumo, I want to ask you about the current rumors in the village.”
Qing Shui looked directly at Hatake Sakumo and said straightforwardly:
“Can you tell me the situation at that time? If there are any questions, I will contact you in time. The Third Hokage responded that you are the hero of the village and you should not be subject to such criticism.”
After hearing Qing Shui’s words, Hatake Sakumo lowered his head helplessly: “Qing Shui-kun, thank you for your concern…”
“Since my mission failed. , you are still the first person to see me, I am very grateful.”
“There is nothing to say about this matter. I did mess up the mission, which caused losses to the Fire Country and the village, and may even trigger a war. These are the punishments I deserve.”
Qing Shui frowned.
Hatake Sakumo’s purity seemed to be much purer than he thought…
War could not be caused by just one or two missions.
On weekdays, the ANBU and ninjas in the hidden villages clashed at the border and sent spies to each other in the village. How many times did this lead to war?
If you really want to start a war, even if there is a so-called peace agreement, you will tear it up very simply.
This kind of drama has been going on since the first ninja war…
Qing Shui does not believe that even if Hatake Sakumo is too naive, he will not realize this problem.
There must be other reasons that really penetrated his heart.
“Mr. Shuomao, this matter is very important to me…”
Qing Shui pondered for a moment and then slowly said:
“Honestly, if I were in the same situation as you, I would not hesitate to save my companions. Even if the mission fails.”
“In my opinion, there is a problem with breaking the ninja’s rule that mission is everything, but if you don’t even value your companions, then what is the will of fire that you have been learning?”
“So, Sakumo Sir, this is not a problem for you alone, but a problem related to the future of the village and your beliefs.”
Hatake Sakumo slowly raised his lowered head and stared at Qing Shui silently.
After a long time, a hoarse voice came out of his mouth, recounting the events of that day –
“I received an order from the village to lead a team to investigate the current situation of the Sunagakure Jinchuriki. According to recent intelligence, the major hidden… The village has begun to develop Jinchuuriki, which makes the village’s nerves very nervous…” ”
But we encountered an ambush and were exposed as soon as we approached Sunagakure Village. Our two companions were surrounded by the enemy, and I had no choice but to take action. , but encountered enemy reinforcements.”
“In the end, I led them out of the siege and exposed my identity…” ”
Sunagakure issued a stern protest to the village and spread it to the ninja world, Iwagakure Village , Kumogakure Village, and Kirigakure Village also followed Sunagakure’s protest, accusing Konoha of trying to start a war and should be punished.”
Hatake Sakumo lowered his head again:
“Qing Shui, don’t persuade me, as a ninja, I have not completed my mission. If you fail, you should be punished.”
Qing Shui looked at the suffering Hatake Sakumo and shook his head.
This is indeed a dead end for a ninja like Hatake Sakumo.
He came out of the Warring States Period and was a samurai, just like the root member Shimura Danzo worked hard to cultivate. There was nothing else in his mind except the mission, and his self-awareness was just a sword.
If the knife can no longer cut anything, just throw it away.
But the problem is that Hatake Sakumo is not a root hidden in the darkness. He is also absorbing part of the light, experiencing a touch of warmth brought by the will of fire, and enriching his heart.
If he saves his companions and the mission fails, the ninja will torture his heart with the thought that the mission is everything.
If he doesn’t save it, then the will of fire in his heart will question him.
There is a certain truth in whatever you do, but it is wrong no matter how you do it.
Qing Shui shook his head, this was the ideological conflict brought about by the Warring States Period and the Kunimura Era.
Since the founding of Konoha, various ninja clans and civilians have gathered into a village and become companions with each other. Ninjas have also gradually transformed from cold tools that were used on the battlefield at an early age during the Warring States Period to a “person” with life and daily life. .
But the fundamental identity still hasn’t changed.
In order to ensure the reputation of the employer, Konoha Village still has to declare the slogan of mission first externally, and internally, in order to win over people’s hearts and establish bonds, it plays the card of Will of Fire.
Hatake Sakumo is a character facing this contradiction, standing on the cusp of the times…
“Mr. Sakumo, I want to ask, do you regret it?”
Qing Shui said softly: “If I give you another choice, will you choose? Complete the mission or protect your comrades?”
Hatake Sakumo opened his mouth, the word “protect” came to his lips, but he could no longer spit it out.
“Mr. Sakumo, I have a question, why do all the villagers know about this now?”
“The mission you performed should be a secret mission. Even if you fail, it should be a top secret that only the top management and the Jonin class know. ”
Qing Shui changed the topic, looked at the troubled Hatake Sakumo, and said slowly:
“I think this is not simple. Maybe someone is using public opinion to frame you.”
Hatake Sakumo laughed miserably: “It’s not important, Qing Shui…”
Confidential missions and protests from other hidden villages, just like Qing Shui said, these are top secrets that need to be placed on the Hokage’s desk.
As the jounin and mainstay of the village, Hatake Sakumo knew that if Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to stop this rumor, it would be a very simple thing.
Just send a few ANBU and make some internal announcements, and all these problems will be solved.
All the current situations can only show that the representative of the Will of Fire, the Sandaime Hokage, is also very dissatisfied with him.
Hatake Sakumo slowly closed his eyes, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.
This was the first time in his life that he had failed a mission.
But the problem is that he is not the first Konoha ninja to fail in his mission.
During the Second Ninja War, the three disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Tsunade, suffered a solid defeat when facing the invader Sanho Hanzo of Amegakure Village. , defeated all the troops, and was given the disgraceful title of “Three Ninjas”.
Danzo Shimura and his roots have made trouble in enemy countries many times, and it is common for them to be exposed.
Especially recently, Hatake Sakumo personally led a team to inspect Orochimaru’s human experiments. Those young experimental subjects and the unsightly scene shocked him even if he had seen the battlefield.
But whether it was Orochimaru, Shimura Danzo or the defeated Jiraiya and Tsunade, they were not criticized in the village. On the contrary, everything was fine.
Shimura Danzo is still the Hokage’s assistant, and no one mentions Orochimaru’s human experiments. The name “Sannin” symbolizing defeat has even become a good name in recent years-
many children in ninja schools regard themselves as Laiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru are called the “Legendary Three Ninjas”…
This makes Hatake Sakumo confused, why is he the only one to be treated like this?
Qing Shui looked at the increasingly depressed Hatake Sakumo and chuckled inwardly.
really.
Not only is it an issue of the Ninja Code and the Will of Fire, Hatake Sakumo, as a powerful combat force in Konoha, finally made him clearly see his status on this issue and feel the unfairness…Why,
why Why is he the only one to receive such criticism?
After all, ninjas are not ruthless tools. Even if they know that they are not a disciple of the Hokage family, they will subconsciously think about this problem. This is human nature.
Especially compared to the Sannin, Hatake Sakumo was a hero who made great contributions in the Second Ninja War. The son and daughter-in-law of Chiyo, Sunagakure’s top advisor, were killed by him…
No credit, no matter how you say it. Hard work, right?
Hatake Sakumo doesn’t ask for big rewards or high status, but because of such an incident, the senior management can’t just let the whole village criticize him and talk about him unscrupulously, right?
He no longer demanded anything, he just wanted a touch of warm tolerance, but Hatake Sakumo didn’t see it.
Qing Shui looked at Hatake Sakumo’s increasingly depressed expression and whispered:
“Mr. Sakumo, there is no need to blame yourself so much for the failure of the mission. The Hokage also failed.”
(Novels Knights-Read novels for free)
Hatake Sakumo’s eyes flashed: “Qing Shui-kun, Some things should not be said carelessly…”
Qing Shui shook his head:
“Although I don’t know why the Third Hokage didn’t take action to stop this rumor, but I think he should be able to understand your entanglement. Maybe there is something hidden in this, but it is still under investigation…” ”
Mr. Sakumo, you should know “In the First Ninja World War, the Third Hokage, Danzo’s assistant, En, Koharu’s advisor, and my grandfather Uchiha Kagami, who served as the Kage Guards in Akimichi Tofaze, were besieged by Kumogakure’s troops…” “As the
Kage Guard, I think the only mission should be to protect Hokage.”
“So I think that the third generation of Hokage understands the tangle of excessive will and ninja code. Please don’t be impatient, things will turn around…”
Hatake Sakumo His breathing became heavier.
What Qing Shui said is extremely true history.
As a Shadow Guard, I asked the Hokage to cut off his queen, and let Senju Tobirama die on the battlefield. Even if the second generation Hokage took the initiative to ask for the cut off, this kind of guilt would be very difficult to get rid of…
Hatake Sakumo’s heart became more and more difficult. Heavy and simple like him, even when he felt unfair in his heart, he only wanted to compare Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraiya.
Shimura Danzo was not within his comparison range, but Qing Shui’s words pierced the last fortress in his heart and told him clearly – the
Third Hokage, Shimura Danzo and other high-level Konoha officials, can they understand your feelings? Feelings?
Absolutely it can.
Their lives were survived by the conflict between the will of fire and the ninja code. How could they not feel it?
As for why the rumors were not cleared, the answer is ready to come out.
The Will of Fire only protects those disciples of the Hokage, but does not protect ordinary ninjas like him. Even war heroes with outstanding merits must be held accountable.
Qian Shu Feijian listened to Qing Shui’s words silently, and the anger in his heart became more and more intense.
Just like what Qing Shui said, your lives are all survived by the will of fire. Why do you just let rumors spread when it comes to others?
Not only was Shimura Danzo the mastermind behind Senju Tobirama’s lock, Senju Tobirama also realized that something was wrong with Sarutobi Hiruzen.
What on earth is he, the Third Hokage, doing?
Why haven’t you put the rumors to rest yet?
At this moment, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen punished Hatake Sakumo, that would be no problem.
As long as the senior management makes a final conclusion on this incident and expresses their position and attitude, then all criticisms will be self-defeating and everything will proceed according to the Hokage’s will.
And silence is the greatest harm.
Even if a strong man like Hatake Sakumo has a humble heart, it is difficult for him to endure the comments of the whole village.
In other words, precisely because Hatake Sakumo is humble, this feeling of being under the scrutiny of everyone is more difficult for him to accept.
“Qing Shui, there is no need to persuade me…”
Hatake Sakumo seemed to be in better spirits, but he seemed to be reflecting on his past.
“Perhaps I had a problem with my understanding of the village and the will of fire from the beginning, and I ended up in this situation today. , It’s just because of my naivety.”
“I’m a little tired, Qing Shui, can you let me rest alone for a while?”
Qing Shui looked at Hatake Sakumo silently, the strange free and easy tone in this tone sounded like There is a feeling of world-weariness…
and right now.
Kakashi returned home and walked into the house with a pale face.
“Qing Shui, you are here too…”
Kakashi seemed to be greatly stimulated, twitching the corners of his mouth and looking at his father and Qing Shui with evasive eyes.
“Father, something happened…”
Kakashi looked at Qing Shui, feeling an inexplicable surge of courage in his heart.
What he heard and saw in the village just now, if Qing Shui wasn’t here, he wouldn’t have the courage to tell Hatake Sakumo.
“Say it, Kakashi.” Hatake Sakumo’s expression became calm.
Kakashi lowered his head in a low voice and whispered:
“Father, two of the people who failed the mission with you committed suicide, and the remaining companions are also blaming you.” ”
They said that they had already committed suicide at that time. The reason for preserving the reputation of the village is because your action exposed their identity, not because they wanted the mission to fail.”
“I…I don’t know why, everyone knows it, and now there are many people in the village. We started arguing…”
Qing Shui frowned: “Suicide? Are you sure, Kakashi…”
“Qing Shui, I don’t believe it either, but it’s true. I saw those two people being carried away from home…”
Kakashi looked at Qing Shui blankly, and then looked at it again. Hatake Sakumo: “Father, I don’t know what to do. ”
Qing Shui couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.
If Hatake Sakumo’s teammate committed suicide was artificially arranged, then this move was really cruel.
If there is no comparison, then even if public opinion is directed, some people will still speak out for Hatake Sakumo. Discuss the conflict between the Will of Fire and the Ninja Code…
But the rescued companion committed suicide. With such a precedent, the direction of the wind will be deflected extremely violently.
“Kakashi, do you know which two people committed suicide? “Hatake Sakumo spoke slowly.
Kakashi said the names of the two people blankly. Although he didn’t recognize them, the whole village was talking about them.
After hearing this, Hatake Sakumo laughed: “Suicide? As expected of the roots of Konoha…”
“Mr. Sakumo, what does this have to do with the roots of Konoha? Qing
Shui said doubtfully, but received no answer.
Hatake Sakumo seemed to have figured out a lot at this moment.
From the ambush on the mission, to the anomalies of the two teammates, to the criticism from the village after the mission failed, and the silence of the senior management. , all these are connected in series.
The two people who committed suicide by Kakashi were the root secrets activated by Shimura Danzo… What
Shimura Danzo didn’t know was that he thought the hidden secrets were extremely secret, but But he couldn’t escape Hatake Sakumo’s discerning eyes, and he had long noticed something abnormal.
As a ninja, due to the rigorous training and brainwashing he had received since he was a child, he had a smell that couldn’t go away.
No matter how disguised he was, Okay, but Hatake Sakumo could detect it.
He didn’t think too much at first. After all, it wasn’t the first time that a ninja from the roots went on a mission with him.
But the news of suicide, combined with Qing Shui’s rampage, Hatake Sakumo blocked Shimura Danzo, and saw the anger and coldness in his eyes…
Hatake Sakumo’s intuition had already told him.
Some people wanted to destroy him.
“What a false world…” Hatake Sakumo sighed inaudibly and forced a smile:
“Qing Shui, I’m going to take a rest. Qing
Shui nodded and stood up slowly: “Mr. Shuomao, take care.” ”
But at this moment, Hatake Sakumo added: “Kakashi is still a child. If possible, I hope you can take more care of him. Qing Shui sighed: “I will. ”
”
Kakashi listened blankly to the conversation between the two people, and watched his father walk into the bedroom.
A moment later, a voice that was extremely familiar to Kakashi sounded.
It was the sound of a sharp blade cutting into the human body!
Kakashi He ran over suddenly and saw Hatake Sakumo lying on the ground. His pupils were trembling and he yelled sharply:
“Qing Shui, Qing Shui, save my father! ”
Hatake Sakumo inserted the dagger into his heart, and lay peacefully on the ground, with blood flowing all over the ground.
Senju Tobirama looked at Hatake Sakumo who fell on the ground, and closed his eyes in pain.
This was already He can’t be saved!
How precise Sakumo Hatake’s knife skills are. This knife penetrated the fragile part of the heart with the belief that he would die.
“Qing Shui, you have to prove the will of fire and plead for Hatake Sakumo.” Get justice! “Tobirama, what are you in a hurry for? ”
Qing
Shui slowly walked towards Hatake Sakumo: “Save people first. I can still save this kind of injury. It’s not a big problem…” ”
Qing Shui, unless you can suture his heart…” Qing Shui Fei Jian was about to speak but stopped.
“You don’t think this is difficult, do you, Tobirama? ”
The substantial chakra slowly emerged from Qing Shui’s hand, twisting into a line pattern, just like Kakuzu’s earthly resentment, and inserted into Hatake Sakumo’s body, sewing up his broken body. Heart.
“However, it is very simple to save his person, but it is quite difficult to save this heart…”
Qing Shui sighed: “I don’t know what to do, you know, Tobirama? ”
Qing Shui, just save people, leave this matter to me…”
Senju Tobirama suppressed the shock in his heart and said in a deep voice: “I will give an explanation to everyone, with the reputation of the Second Hokage ! ”
I’m really burning out now…
I didn’t expect that I could still make 10,000 yuan today!
I’m so awesome! (akimbo)”
