Chapter 20 Death of White Fang

Finally, with the arrival of Kakashi, everyone jumped out and gave Kakashi a big surprise.

Kakashi was the first of his generation to be promoted to chuunin. Everyone was happy for him and sent congratulations to him. Kakashi, who had always acted cool and stinky, felt a warm current in his heart.

Lin used psychic skills to channel the prepared materials, and a simple outdoor barbecue began.

Laughter filled the small forest, and Kakashi rarely talked more. His companions joked and played without any scruples.

Everything was perfect except for Obito who looked constipated next to him.

so good... ...

"It's a pity that my father is on a mission." Kakashi was lying on the grass, thinking quietly: "Otherwise, I can give my father a big surprise!"

Although Kakashi didn't say it, he missed his father a little.

----

Konoha White Fang had been on a mission for many days, and even Kakashi only knew that his father was carrying out a confidential mission this time.

Namikaze Minato's wonderful performance on the Kumogakure battlefield, especially the defeat of the Kumogakure AB combination, not only made Namikaze Minato famous, but also boosted Konoha's morale, and Kumogakure Village also became cautious.

After a period of observation and testing, Yunyin Village reluctantly discovered that it was difficult to get an advantage from Konoha.

On the other hand, Iwa Ninja took advantage of the confrontation between Konoha and Kumogakure to invade Kusagakure Village.

There is a tendency to use Kusagakure as a springboard to attack Konoha, and conflicts with Konoha break out from time to time in the border areas.

Konoha sent a large number of ninjas stationed at the border, always ready to attack the Iwa ninja.

The pressure of starting a war with two major ninja villages at the same time was something Konoha was not willing to bear.

So Konoha once again sent Mito Kadenen to Kumogakure to discuss the truce.

Unlike Konoha's policy of "mutual non-aggression and joint defense of the Iwa Ninja", Kumo Ninja was obviously more interested in invading the Iwa Ninja's land.

After a long period of negotiations, wrangling and PY transactions, the two parties finally reached a consensus: Konoha and Iwa Ninja will continue to be at war to attract Iwa Ninja's attention, and Cloud Ninja Village will launch a surprise attack on Iwa Ninja behind the scenes.

Although a joint operation agreement was reached and a temporary truce was agreed between the two sides during the joint operation, it did not explain how the forces of the Earth Kingdom would be divided between the two sides after the Iwa Ninja was defeated.

Furthermore, the Kumo ninja refused to sign the long-term non-aggression pact proposed by Konoha.

In response, Danzo slapped the Hokage's desk, scolding Mito Kadoen, who was in charge of the negotiation, bloody.

In order to ensure the smooth development of the plan, the Third Generation specially sent Konoha White Fang Hatake Sagumo to lead an elite team to sneak into the Iwa Ninja Village to obtain the Iwa Ninja's confidential combat information.

Calculating the time, Konoha White Fang should have successfully obtained the information about the Iwa Ninja and was on his way back to the village.

----

Youshi Kushou quickly recovered from his injury and returned to the team. Umino Ban took a short rest for a day and immediately went to the battlefield. The situation on the front line is becoming more and more urgent.

But this time the opponent is no longer Kumogakure, but the Iwa Ninja Village.

This time Umino Squad's mission was to garrison a rear outpost to guard against intelligence personnel who might be infiltrated by Iwa Ninja, and to provide early warning of Iwa Ninja's raids.

During the two-month mission, Uminoban encountered sporadic suspicious persons, and also fought with a team that sneaked in.

Fortunately, the enemy was defeated and Uminoban was left intact.

Two months later, the outpost was changed and Umino squad returned to the village to rest. As soon as I returned to the village, I learned a shocking news.

Konoha White Fang committed suicide.

Although he was a ninja from the same village, Kakugi saw Sagumo Hatake from a distance only once when the ninja school started.

Unexpectedly, I saw him again at his funeral.

The mission carried out by Konoha White Fang failed.

During the mission, a companion was accidentally exposed. In order to save his companion's life, Hatake Sakumo finally chose to take the initiative to expose himself, save his companion, and at the same time gave up the mission.

After failing the mission, Hatake Sakumo returned to the village. Although Sandai took the initiative to comfort him, Hatake Sakumo was still caught in the struggle between "sacrifice for the mission" and "feeling for his companions". He didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong. .

Not long after, the Iwa Ninja deployed 10,000 ninjas at the border of the Land of Thunder. The Kumo Ninja's raid on the Iwa Ninja completely failed. In order to cover the Kumo Ninja's retreat, the Third Raikage was forced to cut off the rear by one man, and died after fighting for three days. came.

The Iwa Ninja who confronted Konoha in the Land of Grass were actually just a cover for a small number of troops to try to contain Konoha.

After this battle, the joint operation of Konoha Cloud Ninja completely failed.

Kumo Ninja's vitality was severely damaged and he temporarily withdrew from the Ninja World War. Konoha, on the other hand, will have to face the pressure of the highly motivated Iwa Ninja alone, and will fall into a passive and disadvantageous situation.

In the eyes of the people of Konoha Village, the main responsibility for the failure of this battle lies in Hatake Sakumo's abandonment of the mission to obtain confidential information from Iwagakure Village.

The villagers began to ostracize Hatake Sagumo spontaneously, and even his companions who were rescued by Hatake Sagumo came to accuse him.

In the end, Hatake Sakumo, who was constantly struggling between his mission and his companions, chose to commit suicide.

The Kakugi family also attended Hatake Sakumo's funeral.

Although Hatake Sakumo was ostracized and criticized by his peers in the last moments of his life, everything disappeared with his suicide.

Most of Sagumo Hatake's relatives, friends, companions, and familiar ninjas were present to pay their respects. The third generation also came to the scene in person and presented flowers with faces full of grief.

Among the people present, some were mourning, some were regretful, some were regretful, and many were gloating about the misfortune.

Only Kakashi's face was expressionless, with no emotion visible, his eyes revealed the aura of death, and he looked like a walking corpse.

The death of Sagumo Hatake meant that the village lost a high-end combat capability. For the ninjas, they lost an important and reliable companion.

For Kakashi, it was not only the loss of his father who had always been his goal, but also the collapse of his outlook on life and values.

If left alone, Kakashi will soon fall deeply into darkness and be unable to extricate himself.

Thinking of Kakashi who gradually got closer to everyone at the last chuunin celebration party, and then looking at Kakashi who was now like a walking corpse, Kazuoki sighed heavily.

The guests who came forward to lay flowers one by one would comfort Kakashi while remembering Hatake Sakumo. Kakashi responded mechanically, thanking everyone for coming.

Like a numb tool.

Kakugi did not step forward to look for boredom. At this moment, this scene was not suitable for talking to Kakashi. Besides, the most suitable person is not him.

Namikaze Minato also came today, and his golden hedgehog head was very conspicuous. He presented the flowers with a sad look on his face, nodded to Kakashi, and left without saying anything else.

Just like Kadaki thought, today is not the time to say anything.

I hope that the little sun that can illuminate everyone will shine on Kakashi as soon as possible.

Namikaze Minato retreated from the Kumogakure front this time to rest.

As the Iwa-nin front became tense, Namikaze Minato's team was dismantled, and his former partners Inuzuka Jaw and Akimichi Donto each formed their own teams.

Namikaze Minato is also forming his own team. Not long after, Hatake Kakashi, Nohara Rin, and Uchiha Obito joined Namikaze Minato, and the Minato Class was officially established.

The inertia of history has not changed, everything is proceeding according to the original work, and the fateful bond between Kakashi, Lin, and Obito is officially formed.

As for the tragic ending of the Minato class in the original work, Kakuaki said that there is really nothing he can do now.

Kakugi clearly remembered that in the original Nine-Tails Rebellion, his parents would be sacrificed and Iruka would become an orphan.

The primary goal now is to become stronger step by step.

He became strong enough to be able to protect his family from the claws of the Kyuubi.
