On this day, the sky was replaced by heavy gray and black, and layers of black clouds blocked the sunlight. The entire Konoha was in a gloomy environment. Among the thick black cumulonimbus clouds, there was a faint flash of thunder, thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed. Ww WCO
White Fang of the Leaf has committed suicide for the seventh time. Today is the day when Hatake Sakumo is buried. For the members of Anbu, Anbu minister White Fang committed suicide after failing the mission. This is a very contradictory thing, and everyone has a slightly different idea about it.
Some people think that Hatake Sakumo is a shame to Anbu, and some people think that their worship and belief have collapsed, but more people think that although Sakumo Hatake did something wrong in this matter, the glory is always greater than the shame.
Perhaps, only a very small number of people will think that White Fang of the Leaf is a hero.
A piece of Memorial Stone should be built on top of his body!
In the world of ninjas, ninjas are tools, and the role of tools is to complete tasks. No one cares about the idea of tools, especially after Hatake Sakumo made such a big mistake, most members of Anbu are a little ashamed of this minister...
I am ashamed that my superior would make such a big mistake!
Therefore, there were not many people who came to see off Hatake Clan this time, only about twenty people, including Jiraiya, Guren, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Yakushi Nonō, Sato Hideaka... and a few strange middle-aged men.
These strange middle-aged men all had slightly calm and stiff faces. They were all obviously members of Anbu. This was the first time that Sato Hideaka saw the true appearance of Guren. Because they needed to wear casual clothes to see off, they could not wear masks out of respect for the deceased.
Guren was not wearing a mask. Sato Hideaka could still identify his identity through some details of their previous interactions. There were two dark circles under his eyes and a tuft of dull hair floating on his forehead. This appearance made Sato Hideaka think of a nice name - Gekko Hayate.
Although Guren looks much older than Gekko Hayate, his appearance is roughly similar, so Guren's real name should be Moonlight, and he should be the father of Gekko Hayate, who Baki killed with one move.
It seems that Gekko Hayate has not received the true inheritance from his father at all...
If the wind attribute changes can be skillfully controlled, it can easily cut off the earth attribute's defense. When Gekko Hayate and Baki were fighting, they could not pull out the blade. They just used the earth attribute to bless the surface of the body to make the body's defense stronger.
The main person who saw off Hatake Sakumo was a masked silver boy, about seven or eight years old, wearing Konoha Ninja Forehead Protector on his head, an olive green scarf around his neck, and a short knife on his back. He showed a bit of hostility to the people looking around, with dead fish eyes and a deep indifference...
Hidden deep in the indifference, there may be endless sadness, helplessness, and even resentment!
The body of Hatake Sakumo was placed in the coffin. Under the lift of two people, and with the cover of the relatively small number of Yinxing people, it slowly walked towards the outside of the village. Hatake Sakumo's son Kakashi Hatake followed the coffin as it should.
"Oh, isn't this Hatake Clan? The person inside this coffin is probably Anbu Minister Sakumo Hatake who committed suicide..."
"Really, he didn't complete the mission and killed so many people. He is shameless and dares to commit suicide. I wonder how he will explain to his colleagues Konoha who were indirectly killed by him after he goes to hell. Bah!"
"I heard that White Fang of the Leaf made a great contribution to Konoha. You see, even Lord Jiraiya and Sarutobi Shinnosuke came to see him off. I think even though he failed in this mission, he can still redeem himself!"
Even though the path we found was as far away from the busy streets as possible, and because of the rain, the flow of people on the route was not large, the occasional passerby could still recognize the silver Hatake Clan, and even whispered to each other next to it.
Listening to the taunts from passers-by, it was like a sharp knife inserted into Kakashi Hatake's proud heart, completely destroying the impression of his proud father in the past, and his innocent and arrogant heart gradually closed up.
Sato Hideaka frowned slightly, he had no control over the villagers' gossip and thoughts.
Even if the leak on the street had a slight impact, it was still a drop in the bucket for the city-sized Konoha. This public opinion cannot be controlled by one person. The third generation, Danzo, and Konoha families seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not come forward to explain all this.
Hatake Sakumo failed the mission for the sake of the lives of his companions. Although he had his own difficulties, this was a negative example after all. In the mission-oriented ninja world, he could no longer be clean!
"Boom, boom--"
Several rays of blue lightning pierced the black cumulonimbus clouds, and thunder continued to sound. The rainwater in the cumulonimbus clouds, which was shaken by thunder and lightning, finally fell from an altitude of 10,000 meters, dripping on people's bodies.
Feeling the raindrops, the villagers all scattered and went home to take shelter. Being familiar with the change in the weather became one of the compulsory courses for Anbu Ninjas. Everyone present took out rainproof raincoats made of grasshoppers from their ninja bags and put them on...
Only Kakashi Hatake didn't seem to be wearing a raincoat, or was trapped in the sadness and pain in his heart. He didn't notice the rain that was getting heavier. He still raised his feet mechanically and followed the coffin slowly forward in the rain.
The silver head was soaked by the rain and drooped on the forehead like a drowned rat!
Seeing Kakashi Hatake in the rain, Yakushi Nonō quickly took off his raincoat and was about to put it on Kakashi Hatake, but was pushed away by Kakashi Hatake. Sato Hideaka stopped Nonō who was still preparing to help Kakashi.
With Kakashi Hatake's mood at this time, no one can enter his heart.
Of course, I will never take favors from others.
The coffin was buried in a corner of the forest with the help of some Anbu Ninja people, and an unmarked monument was erected at the burial site. The unmarked monument was erected to prevent White Fang's grave from being leaked and damaged by some villagers.
Kakashi Hatake looked at the unmarked monument and seemed to be stunned.
The dead fish eyes become hollow!
More than 20 people who came with the coffin all held a white or yellow chrysanthemum in their hands. They lined up one after another and placed the chrysanthemums in front of the wordless monument Hatake Sakumo to express their condolences and express their grief.
Fifty meters away from the White Fang wordless monument:
The middle-aged uncle Mitarashi Shishio asked a middle-aged man with dark circles and dull hair, "Guren, Sakumo gave Kakashi and Sato Hideaka to me before they died. What do you think of their qualifications?"
"Kakashi inherited the sword skills of senior White Fang. His strength should not be weaker than Chunin. He should be pretty good at this age..." Guren observed Kakashi Hatake and said again, "As for Qing, his strength is probably no less than mine!"
Mitarashi Shishio frowned and asked questioningly, "The strength is no less than yours, how is this possible? Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, exquisite family swordsmanship, changes in wind attributes, plus Dance of the Crescent Moon, even among Konoha's elite Jonin, your strength is among the best, how can you not defeat him?"
"Hey, compared with the monster-level talents, it is indeed very frustrating. He now masters the forbidden arts and secrets no less than me. In addition, with the double Kekkei Genkai ninjutsu, although it is still difficult to defeat me, it is also difficult for me to hurt him!"
Guren looked at Sato Hideaka standing next to Yakushi Nonō, and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Kakashi's current identity is sensitive, and it is not suitable to join Anbu now." Mitarashi Shishio sighed softly, as if mourning his dead friend, and continued, "It is a pity that Sato Hideaka is too old, otherwise we can focus on training him now."
"Focus on training, are you preparing to train to become Anbu Captain?" Guren asked doubtfully.
Mitarashi Shishio nodded and said, "Yes, according to the orders of the Third Generation, many of Anbu's ninja colleagues are now sent to surrounding countries to conduct spy infiltration, or are sent to guard the Land of Fire border. Anbu currently lacks manpower, so some captains must be promoted..."
"Senior Zixiao, I think you can try to train Qing. Whether he completed the mission with me or cooperated with other teams during the Nine-Tails rampage incident, he has shown the potential to lead the team. I think if you focus on training, there should be no problem in leading the team within a year!"
Guren understood the whole story and immediately assured him, obviously very confident in Sato Hideaka.
"One year later, Sato Hideaka will only be seven years old. Is it really okay to hand over a group of adult ninjas to a seven-year-old ghost...?"
Thinking that if such a scene really happened in the future like what Guren said, the serious-looking Mitarashi Shishio couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly, and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. I wonder what these Anbu Ninja would think when they saw that their superior was a seven-year-old ghost? (To be continued.
