Chapter 26 Enlightenment

Lu Lin didn't quite believe that Hatake Sakumo's purity was so high that it affected his own cognition.

Given his position, this couldn't be the case. There must be other reasons that led to his current decadence.

“Sakumo-kun, can you tell me in detail what happened during your mission?

Coincidentally, I am going to build an orphanage in a few days, and then all the orphans of our Uchiha clan will live in it.

And I have already made plans. Once the orphanage is established, I will give the children the most correct understanding of the ninja world.

This naturally includes things related to the powerful people in the ninja world. As the White Fang of Konoha and the head of the Anbu, I think there should be many children interested in your deeds."

"But I'm just a sin-nin who failed in his mission..."

"Don't underestimate yourself, Sakumo-kun."

Lu Lin interrupted Hatake Sakumo directly and looked at Hatake Sakumo seriously:

"I think that what you did at that time was not wrong. In fact, I hope that my Uchiha children will be people like Sakumo-kun in the future, and always put the safety of friends and relatives first!"

"That's it..."

Hatake Sakumo hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath, tried to cheer himself up, and spoke seriously as if he had a sense of mission:

"That day I received an order from the village to lead a team to destroy a stronghold of the Sand Village.

But what we didn't expect was that when we were about to approach the stronghold, we encountered an ambush.

But I am sure that we did not expose our whereabouts along the way.

There was no other way. In order to save my teammates, I could only give up the mission temporarily and try my best to lead them out of the encirclement.

But our identities were also discovered by the other side.

As a result, the Sand Village issued a severe protest and warning to the village, and other ninja villages also accused the village of wanting to start a war and should accept sanctions. "

After saying these words, Hatake Sakumo seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed completely.

"So what do you think? Have you ever thought that the mission you accepted was actually revealed by someone from the beginning?"

"This is impossible!"

Hatake Sakumo sat up suddenly and looked at Lu Lin with sharp eyes. At this moment, he was the real Konoha White Fang:

"The two people who went on the mission with me are also my two former teammates. They will never betray the village or sell out the interests of the village!"

"I didn't say they were."

Lu Lin shook his head and pointed upwards:

"I'm talking about the person who issued the mission."

Hatake Sakumo frowned:

"Lu Linjun, your guess is too incredible. How could the Third Hokage reveal the village's information to the enemy? He is the Hokage!"

"Sakumo-kun is still too straightforward."

Under Hatake Sakumo's sharp gaze, Lu Lin spoke slowly:

"Konoha's top brass includes not only the Hokage, but also the Elders and the Dark Lord of Konoha."

Hatake Sakumo lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly remembered something, frowned, and said hesitantly:

"Root Minister Danzo... I don't know why, but for a while he would often target me in meetings... But he also treated Minister Fugaku..."

Lu Lin smiled. Sure enough, the shadow of the pot never stopped.

"Since you've discovered the problem, why don't you find out more about it? You're so depressed staying at home alone. If I hadn't come, would you have thought of committing suicide?"

Although Lu Lin was joking, Hatake Sakumo actually nodded:

"To be honest, if Lu Linjun hadn't come to me today to say these words, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on..."

Lu Lin suddenly became serious and looked at Hatake Sakumo seriously:

"Don't think of this again. Kakashi is still so young. If you die, how can a child like him survive in this huge ninja world?"

"I have you here, I believe you will not ignore him..."

"He doesn't even call me father. Sakumo-kun."

Hatake Sakumo scratched his messy hair, lowered his head and said nothing. In his mind, he kept playing the scene of Kakashi excitedly calling him father after he got off work every day, and he always liked to share with him the people and things he saw.

"If I die, Kakashi will be very sad..."

He took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Lu Lin:

"Lu Linjun, can you help me? I don't want to be so unclear, I want to know the truth!"

At this moment, he no longer looked like the depressed man just now. Although his hair was still messy, his eyes were sharp, and the sharp blade of Konoha was back.

"Don't worry."

Lu Lin nodded and said confidently:

"Since it's Sakumo-kun's request, I won't refuse it."

"Thank you very much."

Hatake Sakumo bowed deeply to Lu Lin. At this moment, Lu Lin was the person he trusted most in the entire Konoha, except for Kakashi.

"but..."

Lu Lin said slowly:

"If you know the truth, Sakumo-kun, please don't commit suicide again."

"Do not worry."

Hatake Sakumo said very seriously:

"No matter how unbelievable the result is, I will stick to it, even if... I have to leave Konoha!"

"That's good."

Now that his goal had been achieved, Lu Lin did not intend to stay any longer. He drank the water in the cup in one gulp and twisted his neck:

"If Sakumo-kun doesn't know where to go, you can come find me. I have a place that's perfect for you."

"Thank you very much, Lu Linjun."

Hatake Sakumo's eyes flashed. He knew that Lu Lin was not a simple person. Just from his powerful strength which had not been exposed for so many years, he knew that Lu Lin had big ambitions.

But it doesn't matter to him now. If it is true as Lu Lin said, that the mastermind behind this incident is really the Konoha high-level officials, then the fact that Hatake Sakumo does not start a killing spree already shows that he has deep feelings for Konoha.

"Well, Sakumo-kun, take a rest first. I will have someone investigate. You just wait at home first. If you can't find a solution, come to my place. Anyway, you must disappear from the eyes of the higher-ups during this period of time."

"Ah."

Hatake Sakumo nodded:

"Don't worry, Lu Linjun, I'll trouble you during this period of time."

"You're welcome, I'm leaving now."

Lu Lin turned around and walked towards the door, where he happened to meet Kakashi who had returned. However, he didn't seem to be in a very good mood and was rather silent.

After seeing Lu Lin, he just called him "Boss Lu Lin" out of politeness.
