Chapter 83: Target Country of Grass

Chiba takes the death of Hatake Sakumo next year very seriously.

Because in Qianyu's opinion, this is an important event and there are many witness points that can be obtained.

According to Chiba's analysis of the current battlefield, the reason why Konoha is so stable in the Land of Grass and the Iwagakure ninjas dare not act rashly is largely because of Hatake Sakumo.

The importance of Hatake Sakumo is equivalent to that of Orochimaru and Jiraiya who are in charge of the Land of Hot Springs.

Because of the presence of Orochimaru and Jiraiya, the Cloud Ninjas did not dare to act rashly.

Hatake Sakumo is known as the genius ninja of the 'White Fang of Konoha'. He is very powerful and his name is known throughout the countries. Even the 'Legendary Three Ninjas' have to respect him.

However, such a person was actually blamed by the villagers for giving up the mission and choosing to save his companions. In the end, even the companions who were rescued turned around and blamed him. Finally, he could not stand the ostracism of everyone and chose to commit suicide.

This is really ironic.

Such a powerful ninja, who is so loyal to Konoha, would actually retire for such a ridiculous reason.

Chiba was certain that Hatake Sakumo's suicide was definitely not just due to the blame from the villagers and his companions.

If he committed suicide because of these ridiculous reasons, then Hatake Sakumo's mental quality would be too poor.

Since Hatake Sakumo could make such a big name in the ninja world, he must be very determined in his heart. Ordinary rumors and public opinions could not cause any harm to him at all. Even if it was for Kakashi, he would not commit suicide to end it all.

Moreover, if Hatake Sakumo does not have a strong mental quality, he will not be able to become a strong man.

So in Chiba's opinion, Hatake Sakumo's suicide was most likely due to his shattered faith.

The last secret mission that Hatake Sakumo carried out must be very important to Konoha.

Hatake Sakumo abandoned the mission to save his companions' lives, causing Konoha to suffer a huge loss.

However, judging from Hatake Sakumo's behavior of giving up the mission in order to protect his companions, it is obviously in line with the will of fire.

The accusations from his fellow villagers were unlikely to shake the will of fire in Hatake Sakumo's heart.

It is right to be punished for mission failure, and I believe that Hatake Sakumo will not shirk his responsibility.

However, as the unique will of fire of Konohagakure Village, the determination to protect companions should not be blamed even if it leads to the failure of the mission.

It is true that the mission failed because Hatake Sakumo went to rescue his companions, but the responsibility should not be entirely on Hatake Sakumo, his companions are also equally responsible.

What's more, as a firm believer in the will of fire, does Hatake Sakumo have to watch the death of his companions with his own eyes?

More importantly, shouldn’t such a confidential mission be kept confidential?

It was strange in itself that a secret mission had become known to everyone.

Even if a secret mission fails, ordinary villagers and ninjas shouldn't know about it.

Therefore, this matter was deliberately publicized by someone.

Normally, an ordinary ninja should be investigated if he knew that a secret mission had failed, let alone if he knew the details of the mission.

Obviously, the leak of the confidential mission represents the attitude of the top leaders who blame Hatake Sakumo for not completing the mission.

As a staunch supporter of the Hokage faction, it is very likely that even Sarutobi Hiruzen is blaming Hatake Sakumo.

Such a result may have shattered Hatake Sakumo's faith and made him choose to commit suicide.

It can be said that there is darkness hidden beneath the light in Konoha.

The various things Danzo did, the Uchiha rebellion and so on.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen's subordinates are not clean.

From this we can see how hypocritical and dark Konoha is.

The real reason why Chiba thinks that Hatake Sakumo's suicide is a very important event is not because of Hatake Sakumo's own strength or other factors.

But it is because of the importance of Hatake Sakumo to the battlefield of the Land of Grass.

Once something happens to Hatake Sakumo, the Iwagakure of the Land of Grass will be unable to hold back and take action.

The Iwagakure were very cunning. Unlike the Cloud Ninja, they did not fight the Konoha Ninja with such high intensity from the beginning. However, once they found a weak point on the Konoha side, they would definitely attack the opponent's weak point.

Although the situation has gradually stabilized in the past three years, everyone knows that all it takes is one opportunity to start a full-scale war.

Qianyu guessed that Hatake Sakumo's suicide might very well become this opportunity.

Even if Hatake Sakumo was not the opportunity, it would have accelerated the start of a full-scale war.

Because once the Iwagakure Village takes action, the Kumogakure Village will inevitably respond to the Iwagakure Village.

The Sand Village has been eyeing the fat piece of meat, Konoha, with red eyes. Now that the Iwagakure Village and the Kumogakure Village have taken action, how could they not take action?

What's more, there is the Hidden Mist Village with ninjas stationed in the Land of Waves, ready to make a move.

That's why Chiba thinks that Hatake Sakumo's suicide is very important, because Chiba feels that Hatake Sakumo's death will affect the time when the entire Third Ninja World War will start.

So Qianyu must go to the Land of Grass.

But even if this didn't happen, Qianyu still had to go to the Land of Grass.

Because Uzumaki Kushina and Chiba are the same age.

This year Chiba is already 16 years old, and Uzumaki Kushina is also 16 years old.

There are only two years left, and in two years Uzumaki Kushina will become an adult.

The last time Qianyu saw Uzumaki Mito, he had already aged greatly and looked like he was only a few years old.

So there is not much time left for Chiba and Uzumaki Kushina.

Chiba had talked to Orochimaru about the orphans of the Uzumaki clan in the Land of Grass.

Chiyu's target is to be Karin's future mother.

However, Chiba is not sure whether Karin's mother is in the Land of Grass now.

Because Karin's mother chose to join the Kusagakure Village in order to protect her daughter Karin's safety.

Karin will not be born for several years, which means that Karin's mother and Karin will not join the Kusagakure Village for several years.

But according to Chiba's guess, Karin's mother is very likely living in seclusion somewhere in the Land of Grass.

Because the characteristics of the Uzumaki clan are too obvious, it would be more dangerous if they wandered around.

So the possibility of staying in one place is very high.

Later, Karin may have been born, and her special physique was discovered by the ninja, so Karin's mother was forced to join the nearby Kusagakure Village.

If Karin's mother is not found, Chiyu will have to make a backup plan.

The second preparation is Qianyu's Sharingan.

During the three years of high-intensity combat, Chiyu's Sharingan has now advanced to the double-eye three-magatama Sharingan, but it is unknown how long it will take to open the Mangekyō Sharingan.

However, if you redeem it in a store, you only need 1 witness points to open the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Since Qianyu herself has Uchiha blood, the price required is not outrageous.

Now Qianyu only needs 3000 witness points to exchange for the Mangekyō Sharingan.

This is also the fastest way for Qianyu to directly improve his strength.
