Chapter 223 Kakashi meets Hatake Sakumo (4K words, please subscribe

The hot spring swimming pool was splashing with water and we spent nearly two hours in it.

"..."

Exhausted, Tsunade put on her bathrobe, left the pool, and lay down in the clean rest area.

She gasped for breath, her mind went blank, and after a moment, she felt her mental strength surge, and her body relaxed to the greatest extent.

Fortunately, she had eaten something before, otherwise, Tsunade really didn't know whether she could hold on until the end of the battle with her physical strength.

"Can you still move?"

Yinyue suddenly asked.

He was already dressed and sitting next to Tsunade, enjoying some fresh fruit.

Tsunade's face changed, and she shyly moved her body, hesitatingly saying, "Wait...wait...wait a minute, let me rest for a while."

Yinyue said calmly: "Okay, I'll take you to find Cardo's fleet later."

Hear this.

Tsunade tried to get up with difficulty. She wondered what Yin Yue was going to do.

But I struggled a few times.

After confirming that she couldn't get up, Tsunade simply lay down and waved her hand, "We'll talk later."

Money is important, but right now, life is the most important.

Yin Yue sat next to Tsunade.

Not a moment later.

Tsunade was so tired that she fell asleep.

in the afternoon.

Yin Yue took Tsunade away from the Land of Waves, driving the dark red complete form of Susanoo, flying at full speed over the sea.

Standing in the Gem cockpit.

Tsunade's expression was particularly rich.

Before this, she had criticized Yinyue who was standing inside Susanoo in front of the clan leaders. Now, she herself was standing inside Susanoo.

After practicing with Yin Yue at noon, Tsunade could clearly feel that her mental strength had improved significantly.

The increase in mental strength can take her control of chakra to a higher level.

This also indirectly improved her medical ninjutsu which had long been stagnant.

You know, Tsunade hasn't used medical ninjutsu for several years since she suffered from hemophobia and was cured by Ingetsu.

Now, she has practiced with Yinyue twice in total, and her mental strength has increased significantly, greatly shortening the time it takes for her to recover from medical ninjutsu.

Yin Yue glanced at the arrogant Tsunade and said, "We are almost there, in the nearby sea area."

"Oh." Tsunade didn't dare to look Yin Yue in the eye.

She looked down at the sea below.

As the complete form of Susanoo moved forward at full speed, dotted islands appeared in the endless sea.

And near those islands, there are many heavy steel fleets parked.

"That's... a retired battleship from the Hidden Mist Village."

Tsunade quickly recognized the warships.

No wonder Cardo could escape so quickly, it turns out he had such a naval military force in secret.

With the complete form of Susanoo hovering over the sea.

The island was shrouded in a dark red light.

The first battleship deck.

A group of Cardo's subordinates knelt on the cold steel plate and worshiped the sky.

Tsunade saw clearly the situation near this remote island. There was a retired steel battleship from the Hidden Mist and more than ten luxury civilian cargo ships.

Several of the civilian cargo ships had large dents on their surfaces, their steel surfaces were deformed, and the wounds were hideous, as if they had been hammered by a giant.

"..."

Tsunade lowered her head and sighed. She knew without thinking that this was done by Yin Yue controlling Susanoo.

Jewel cockpit.

Yin Yue controlled the energy platform to descend and brought Tsunade to the deck of the retired Kirigakure battleship.

The two of them were like people from heaven who had descended to earth.

All of Cardo's subordinates lowered their heads and dared not breathe.

They were dressed in black suits and looked very formal and respectable.

It can be seen at a glance that they are all members of the gangs under the Cardo Group who are responsible for acting as thugs.

Just a few hours ago.

They sailed through this sea, accompanying their boss Cardo to plan for the future.

The fleet originally had two retired steel battleships from the Hidden Mist. A fleet of this size was enough to intimidate ordinary rebel ninjas.

In fact, they had fled from the Land of Waves for a long time, but they knew that the fleeing ninjas from Konoha had no means of transportation by sea, so they were fearless and did not flee far.

Cardo ordered the team to be stationed in the archipelago area more than a thousand nautical miles away from the Land of Waves.

He was also thinking about waiting for the Konoha ninja to leave the Land of Waves before leading the team back.

After all, the Kingdom of Waves is an important maritime hub, and the profits that can be made there are beyond ordinary people's imagination.

But who would have known that the ninjas of Konoha would actually directly occupy the Land of Waves.

So, under the leadership of Cardo, everyone planned to go to a relatively remote but profitable small country in the ninja world to act arrogantly, or seize power and create disasters.

Unfortunately...

They were discovered by Yinyue and Hong who were driving the Complete Susanoo to the Land of Waves.

At first, Cardo's fleet naturally resisted with all its might, but even if the main guns of the two retired Mist Hidden Warships opened fire at full power and bombarded the complete form of Susanoo, they were unable to repel the demon-like monster.

The battleship's main gun couldn't even extinguish the flames on Susanoo's breastplate.

The continuous bombardment of the special shells even made the dark red hellfire burn more vigorously.

Then, the demon god smashed a warship into the seabed with one punch right in front of them...

Cardo was now completely in despair, and his subordinates also took the initiative to tie Cardo up and bring him in front of Yinyue.

A sidelong glance at the rubbish on deck.

Yin Yue looked at Tsunade and said calmly:

"I can't ask you to practice with me for nothing. The wealth of the Cardo Group is basically here. You should arrange their destination."

Tsunade was surprised and asked, "You... don't need it?"

The reconstruction of Konoha will certainly require money everywhere, and Yinyue actually gave her all the huge sum of money?

"No need." Yin Yue replied: "It didn't cost much to rebuild the ninja village."

What he said is very Versailles.

Rebuilding the entire ninja village and repairing the buildings were all contracted by Iwagakure.

Besides, Yinyue himself is a hands-off boss and has no concept of money.

However, the ninja village really doesn't need money right now, otherwise the chief elder and the Uchiha high-ranking officials would be arguing over money by now.

"Thank you."

Tsunade whispered, this was the first time she bowed to Yin Yue in words.

"Then I'll leave this to you. Never mind, I'll accompany you." Yinyue said, and came to the front of Cardo's subordinates, and said to the highest-ranking manager in the society: "Let's go to the Kingdom of Waves."

"Ah?" The steward exclaimed, "But that place has been occupied by Konoha ninjas. Sir, we dare not go back because we were expelled."

“……” Yinyue stared at the steward calmly.

There was no emotion in her eyes, but in the eyes of the steward, Yinyue's gaze was as sharp as an iceberg.

A chill ran down my back.

It seemed that in another second, he would be sunk to the bottom of the sea by the person in front of him just like the retired steel battleship of Kirigakure.

"I... I know what to do." The steward exclaimed, crawled away from the deck, and returned to the captain's room with his subordinates.

Yin Yue turned to Tsunade and said:

"The Wave Country needs infrastructure construction. You can capture these people and make them do hard labor. They were originally members of a gang that did all kinds of evil."

"Well, that's what I thought too."

Tsunade replied.

The fleet set off slowly, led by the Kirigakure battleship. As for the scrapped civilian cruise ships, they were abandoned and all the supplies on them were transferred.

Looking at the mighty fleet, Tsunade was in a good mood, and the brows that had been furrowed in the Land of Waves were completely relaxed.

Her face showed a long-lost sense of comfort and gentleness. She and Yinyue shuttled between the ships, checking the assets on the ships. After a walk around, she was in a very good mood.

Money, it’s all money!

The freighter's warehouse is filled with currency or some valuable resources.

With this money.

Tsunade would not have to auction off Kado's luxurious compound and would not have to live a tight life.

Thinking about being able to soak in hot springs every day.

When you have free time, you can even play a few cards.

Tsunade immediately cast a grateful look at Yinyue, but when she thought of their relationship, she felt complicated and did not dare to look at Yinyue any longer.

...

...

Konoha.

hospital.

Kakashi lay on the hospital bed, looking at the familiar sky outside the window.

I have to say that the Ninja Village has been restored perfectly. Looking out the window, not only can you see the familiar neighborhood, you can even see the familiar green belts.

"I really didn't expect that."

Yamato sat between the two beds.

He sighed while skillfully peeling the apple in his hand with a knife, "When we left the Ninja Village, we were also in the ward. Now that we are back, we are also in the ward."

Kakashi and Kai thought about it and it seemed to be true. This hospital ward was like their resurrection point.

dong dong dong-

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Yamato handed the peeled apple to Kakashi and stood up subconsciously.

He just sensed it briefly, then frowned and said to Kakashi and Kai:

"wrong."

There were two people outside the door, but as the holder of Wood Release Kekkei Genkai, he felt something was wrong.

The other party doesn't look like a human.

Kakashi and Kai looked at each other and prepared themselves, even though they were seriously injured.

At this time, two Edo Ninjas came in from outside the door. They had cracks on their faces, wore Konoha forehead protectors, wore Konoha ninja armor, and walked in a hurry.

"You are?"

Yamato looked at the two unfamiliar Impure World Ninjas and asked in confusion.

These two Edo Ninja gave him the impression that they were both middle-aged men.

One of them had a beard, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and wore a dark green tights under his ninja armor.

The other one looked much more normal, with short silver hair and a calm temperament.

"No, why does this middle-aged man with a beard and thick eyebrows look so much like Kai? The silver-haired, calm-looking man looks like Kakashi..."

Yamato was confused.

Soon, he realized that they were not like Kai and Kakashi.

Obviously Kakashi and Gai look like them.

The ones who came were Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo and Might Dai, who had turned the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist into the Three Lucky Treasures.

"Father!"

"Father!"

When Kakashi and Gai saw their father, their expressions were surprisingly synchronized, and they looked surprised.

But soon, Kakashi recalled the scene when he encountered White Fang in the forest when he was fleeing with the major families of Konoha.

After arriving at the Land of Waves, he naturally couldn't forget that scene, but Kakashi thought that his father should be a one-time thug of the Impure World Caster...

But I didn't expect it.

Father is still here!

"Ahh——" Kai's eyes immediately filled with tears and his eyeballs fell out.

Regardless of the pain all over his body, he jumped off the bed and hugged Matt Dai in his arms.

"Father, I have been practicing hard these years, no matter what the weather is, no matter what time it is..." As Kai spoke, his emotions suddenly burst like a flood, and he could no longer control himself. He hugged Dai tightly and whispered, "Father, I miss you."

"Whoa whoa-"

Matt Day reached out and patted his much taller son on the back.

The two embraced and wept.

Even though Dai couldn't cry because of his filthy body, he couldn't help but howl loudly due to the surging emotions inside.

Although my son was wrapped like a mummy, his eyes, full of sincerity and brightness, were exactly the same as when he was a child.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm still here!" Matt Dai said excitedly: "Thank you for your hard work over the years."

Compared to the sincere and passionate embrace between the father and son, Kakashi and Hatake Sakumo beside the other bed seemed much calmer.

Yamato made room for these two pairs of father and son.

He silently looked at Kakashi and Hatake Sakumo and found that they were exceptionally calm at this moment.

Kakashi took out a chair from under the bed:

"sit down."

Hatake Sakumo nodded and slowly sat down.

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

Kakashi had only seen this scene in his dreams, and his father's death had always been the pain in his heart that he dared not face.

After a long while, Hatake Sakumo finally said, "I'm sorry, Kakashi."

As he spoke, he glanced at the ground, not daring to look directly at Kakashi, and his words were full of guilt.

Under such heavy pressure, he chose to escape, leaving his son alone to live in this cruel and indifferent world. It must have been very tiring.

Kakashi has been very obedient since he was a child, and his grades, character, and everything else are excellent.

From the moment he chose to escape, he felt that he was not worthy of being Kakashi's father, and his pride was shattered.

"No." Kakashi said calmly, "You don't have to apologize. It's really hard to accept the feeling of being betrayed by your own beliefs."

Hatake Sakumo's eyes lit up, then drooped again.

He already knew that Konoha was besieged and destroyed by the major ninja villages.

I guess at that time, the situation inside Konoha must have been extremely ugly.

Kakashi continued, "Over the years, I have been trying to understand you, and now I have gained some insights."

Kakashi said this, and he became more calm. He said calmly:

"After the destruction of the ninja village, I realized that compared to the mission, the companions around you are more important. You did nothing wrong."

Hearing this, both Kai and Yamato were touched. Kakashi was right.

When the ninja village was destroyed.

They left their homeland.

If they didn't have these three or two close friends around them, they might not even be able to find the meaning of their existence in this world.

It is like a ship on a long voyage that has completely lost its anchor and can only drift in the void.

"I'm really sorry." Hatake Sakumo's expression became increasingly gloomy.

Unexpectedly, he ended up needing his son's comfort, but he was a sinner.

Even death and escape are out of the question right now.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I told you, you don't have to apologize, but I want to ask you one thing, will you leave this time?"

Hatake Sakumo slowly raised his head, his tone finally firmer, "According to the situation, it seems that there is no way to leave even if you want to."

"That's good." Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.

The greetings ended quickly.

Kakashi wasted no time and directly asked Hatake Sakumo and Might Dai about the current situation of the ninja village and the plight of these two father ninjas.
