Chapter 102 Public Opinion Rising

Hatake Sakumo returned from the mission, but all five of them were injured.

The one with the most serious injuries has been treated by a medical ninja.

Hatake Sakumo was sitting against the wall, and a medical ninja was also treating him.

Hatake Sakumo's face was tired and gloomy, his brows were tightly furrowed.

Kakashi hurried to Hatake Sakumo's side and asked worriedly, "Father, what's wrong?"

Hatake Sakumo seemed to be in a daze and did not answer Kakashi immediately.

Kakashi asked again, and Hatake Sakumo came back to his senses.

"nothing..."

Hatake Sakumo stopped the medical ninja's treatment, returned to the meeting room, and summoned several ninjas.

Although Qianyu was not allowed to go, he wanted to know what happened, so he went in by himself.

Anyway, he already knew about this matter, so if he went in to listen, Hatake Sakumo would definitely not care.

Nara Shinsuke asked anxiously, "Lord Sakumo, what happened? Were we ambushed?"

Hatake Sakumo shook his head and replied in a hoarse voice: "No, I gave up the mission..."

Nara Shinsuke and other ninjas were extremely shocked.

Give up the mission?

Impossible, right? !

What mission is so difficult that even Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo has to give up?

Hatake Sakumo explained in a deep voice: "The mission was going smoothly, and we were almost able to get the scroll of the Iwagakure, but Sigui was captured by the enemy, and those bastards of the Iwagakure used Sigui to set a trap.

For Sigui’s safety, I had to give up the mission and go to rescue Sigui, but the trap was a double trap, and the detonator exploded, seriously injuring Sigui...”

The Tsuki that Hatake Sakumo mentioned is the perception ninja brought by Hatake Sakumo.

There was silence in the conference room.

It turned out that this was the reason why Hatake Sakumo gave up the mission.

Qianyu observed the expressions of everyone here.

At this time, these people seemed quite normal and did not feel that there was anything wrong with Hatake Sakumo's actions.

When his companions were in danger, he chose to save them. No one thought that Hatake Sakumo did anything wrong.

Hatake Sakumo called a meeting this time just to explain the reasons for the failure of this mission.

Seeing that Hatake Sakumo was also tired, everyone let Hatake Sakumo have a good rest and then left.

This incident has not caused any waves in the garrison.

However, many ninjas who were unaware of the situation learned that Hatake Sakumo and four others had returned to the base injured, and they were curious and asked what had happened.

Kakashi is still quite worried about Hatake Sakumo.

Because he could feel that Hatake Sakumo was not in a good mental state.

Just when everyone had gradually forgotten about the incident, someone from the Anbu suddenly showed up.

The Anbu ninja asked Hatake Sakumo and four of his teammates to go to Konoha on a mission together.

When Chiyu learned about this, he immediately realized that the Konoha high-level officials would hold Hatake Sakumo accountable.

Hatake Sakumo and his four teammates left.

A few days later.

Because Kakashi was worried about his father, he made frequent mistakes during training.

Chiba said to Kakashi, "Stop it. It won't have any effect if you continue to practice like this. Go."

Kakashi raised his head and looked at Chiba in confusion.

Chiba explained, "Aren't you worried about Sakumo-sama? Then go back to Konoha."

"Can..."

"There is no but. Since you are worried, go back and visit Master Sakumo. You should know that he is your father, your only relative. You are also Master Sakumo's only relative. Nothing is more important than your own relatives. Do you understand?"

Kakashi took a deep breath and nodded: "Then Mr. Chiba, I will leave for the village right now, and I will come to see you later."

Kakashi immediately went back to his room, packed his luggage, and headed straight to Konoha.

After watching Kakashi leave, Qianyu returned to her room and began writing a letter.

The only person that Chiyu could write a letter to was naturally Uzumaki Kushina.

According to the subsequent developments, Hatake Sakumo, who gave up the mission in order to save his companions' lives, will be criticized by his companions in the village.

The last straw that broke the camel's back for Hatake Sakumo, causing his faith in the Will of Fire to collapse, was probably when even the ninja named Tsuki, whom he had rescued, blamed him.

He was accused by his companions, by the village leaders, and finally by the people he had saved.

Hatake Sakumo, who believes he is carrying out the Will of Fire, is about to be severely injured both physically and mentally.

Chiba wrote a letter to Uzumaki Kushina, asking her to help pay attention to the rumors surrounding Hatake Sakumo.

At the same time, focus on Sigui.

If there is anything unusual, let Uzumaki Kushina write a letter to inform him in time.

After writing, Qianyu summoned a snake and went to Konoha to deliver the letter.

The next day, Chiba, alone, once again set out on the journey to find Karin's mother.

Time flies, and three months pass in a flash.

Qianyu now began to doubt whether his judgment was wrong.

Is Karin's mother really in the Land of Grass?

Without Kakashi, Chiba's search became even faster.

In three months, Qianyu checked and filled in the gaps in the previous map, and almost all the missing parts have been found.

But still not even a red-haired woman was found.

Qianyu placed his hand on his right eye and murmured, "In this case, we can only hope for our Sharingan, and then leave Konoha with Kushina."

At this point in time, defecting from Konoha with Uzumaki Kushina would be a very bad choice.

He who possesses the Sharingan, and Kushina Uzumaki who has a special physique from the Uzumaki clan, are quite dangerous in this ninja world that is on the brink of chaos.

Putting aside the witness points that can be obtained in Konoha, Chiba's current strength is not enough to be immune to any danger, not to mention that she has to protect Uzumaki Kushina.

Just when Qianyu perked up and decided to look for it again.

A snake swam onto Qianyu's body.

Qianyu took down the letter tied to the snake's belly and checked it.

Qianyu's eyes narrowed when he saw the content of the letter.

During these three months, except for the time spent delivering letters, the communication between Uzumaki Kushina and Chiba was almost uninterrupted, and several snakes delivering letters were exhausted to death.

Because the public opinion in the village about Hatake Sakumo changes every day.

For no apparent reason, voices began to appear in the village discussing Hatake Sakumo's mission.

Almost everyone knew that Hatake Sakumo's mission was to intercept the extremely important follow-up strategic plan of the enemy village.

If the interception is successful, the village can seize the initiative and save lives.

However, Hatake Sakumo clearly had the opportunity to snatch the scroll, but he gave up the mission because of one person.

The first voices that emerged were doubts about Hatake Sakumo's approach to the matter, and then they gradually evolved into condemnations of Hatake Sakumo.

I believe that Hatake Sakumo should take full responsibility for this matter.

The Konoha high-level officials have dismissed Hatake Sakumo from all his positions, and Nara Shinsuke is temporarily the leader of the Land of Grass.
