Chapter 12 Ronin - Hatake Sakumo
Hearing this, Uchiha Jing put down the hand holding the knife.
He was willing to give Shenhuo some face. After all, he had benefited a lot from it.
Fugaku, on the other hand, was not very willing.
At this point in the fight, Uchiha Kagami didn't seem to be injured, but he was in a very miserable state.
It ended like this, where would his face as the clan leader be?
“Elder Shenhuo…” With a gloomy face, he was about to refute when a pair of hands grabbed his arm.
Uchiha Mikoto's soft face was full of worry and she shook her head.
……
With a helpless sigh, Fugaku also put down his hand.
Uchiha Jing had no intention of competing for the position of clan leader right now, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, clan leader, and congratulations on the birth of your son. I'll take my leave now."
"Shisui, let's go."
Staring blankly at Uchiha Jing walking away, the remaining Uchiha showed no anger at having their celebration disrupted. Instead...
"Maybe we are wrong..."
"Not only Master Izuna, maybe he can get in touch with the legendary one..."
"Alright!" Shenhuo interrupted everyone's conversation and ordered, "No one should tell anyone about what happened today. The clan leader needs to rest, so let's disperse."
The village has always been monitoring the Uchiha, but it has not yet reached the point where it knows everything.
Looking at the direction where Uchiha Jing disappeared, Shenhuo frowned and thought.
He didn't know about the Ninja World War that was about to begin and felt that Uchiha Kagami was being a little too radical.
As the leader of the radical faction, he didn't understand why Jing chose this time to show force.
The fact is simple, Uchiha Jing did not lie.
He just wanted to test his own strength.
The kids in the ninja school were not worthy of being his opponents, and ordinary jonin didn't have the chance to fight him either.
It would be even more inappropriate to target the village's top leaders.
After much thought, Fujikaku seems to be the most appropriate name.
On the way back, Sukuna's voice was heard.
"The fusion of slash and chakra, kid, that move of yours is too weak."
"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Do you think I didn't hear your previous mumbling?" Uchiha Jing responded nonchalantly.
Sukuna sneered: "I won't deny your talent, I just think... compared to the field expansion, the power of your technique is not enough."
"You seem to know me well, so you should know the power of the domain."
"Little ghost, sign a bond with me. I will not take your body. I already have a physical body."
"I can teach you the Domain, and the Ten Shadow Technique!"
"Only once a year, for three minutes, is enough. I haven't experienced the joy of killing for a long time!"
"You already dislike those people in Konoha's upper echelons, how about I help you kill them!"
Uchiha Kagami still believed that Sukuna could kill those people from the third generation.
But the fear is that he might meet Uzumaki Kushina.
Except for Hashirama Senju who was still alive, the strongest fighting force in every generation of Konoha was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Uchiha Kagami, who is Sukuna's Jinchuriki, doesn't have the confidence to challenge that little hot pepper.
Sealing techniques have a very high priority in the ninja world; even Kaguya Otsutsuki failed.
The monsters of the Demon Country are said to be able to destroy the ninja world, but they were also sealed by a girl.
If we really let Sukuna out, what if a master of sealing suddenly comes and suppresses him as if he were an evil god?
"Sukuna, I really didn't lie to you. This world is very dangerous. Staying in my belly is not a cage. I am protecting you."
……
"Who do you think you're talking to! I don't need protection! Asshole!!"
Sukuna suddenly got furious.
"If you make more noise, you will be put in the dark room for a month." Uchiha Jing said calmly.
Sukuna quieted down.
If he couldn't see the outside world, he could still endure the darkness.

The next day, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief as he watched his father prepare breakfast.
"Father……"
Hatake Sakumo called Kakashi over to sit down and have breakfast.
The father and son were silent for a while, and then Hatake Sakumo spoke.
"Kakashi... I decided to follow my own will. Maybe it's just like what they said..."
"I'd be a loser who breaks the rules of ninja."
The thin Hatake Sakumo smiled and continued:
"But I think that people who don't cherish their companions are worse than trash."
……
"Yeah……"
"I'll support you, Father!"
Hatake Sakumo smiled with relief. What he feared most was not getting Kakashi's approval.
Maybe what the Uchiha boy said was right. I don’t need to think too much. The only thing I need to care about is Kakashi’s feelings.
Hatake Sakumo took out the White Fang short knife from behind him and placed it on the table.
"Kakashi, you have grown up. I have decided to make this matter clear to you."
Kakashi had a bad feeling...
"I did think about committing suicide before, but I don't want someone to have an easy time."
As he spoke, the man known as Konoha's White Fang had a sharp gleam in his eyes.
"I want to leave the village."
Kakashi's pupils shrank suddenly and he stood up excitedly.
"Father! I also..."
Hatake Sakumo raised his hand to signal him to continue listening to him.
Putting his thick palm on Kakashi's head, Hatake Sakumo smiled and said, "Here, you also have cherished companions, don't you?"
"Protect yourself and your friends."
"I will always watch over you and love you."
"No matter what choice you make in the future, I will support you."
"Goodbye, Kakashi."
"You must...you must take good care of yourself."
Bang!
A cloud of smoke exploded.
Kakashi was the only one left, silent and indifferent, with two lines of tears sliding down his cheeks.
-
Outside Konoha Village.
After receiving the memories of the shadow clone, Hatake Sakumo paused and let out a long sigh.
Looking back at the village I love, my eyes are filled with complex emotions.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
More than a dozen ninjas wearing strange masks appeared in an instant.
"Hatake Sakumo, what are you doing leaving the village without a reason!?"
One of them shouted.
Looking at the newcomer indifferently, Hatake Sakumo said softly:
"The roots..."
As an elite Jonin of Konoha, he knew something about this secret force hidden in the darkness.
The head of this organization is that person.
After taking a last look at Konoha Village, Hatake Sakumo turned around without looking back.
"Tell Danzo that if he dares to attack Kakashi, I will kill him."
"Asshole! How dare you threaten Lord Danzo!"
Several Root Ninjas rushed up with their swords, but when their bodies were still in mid-air...
A white line was drawn.
Accompanied by the sound of several heavy objects falling to the ground, blood spurted out and the body fell to the ground.
A strong murderous intent enveloped the entire place, causing these Root Ninjas who had undergone brutal training to tremble all over and their hands could not even hold their weapons steadily!
The man who was above the three ninjas, the Konoha White Fang who was feared on the battlefield...
How could such a person be reachable by these roots in the shadows!
"It's not a threat, I'm just telling the truth."
Hatake Sakumo's final voice came.
"Whether I betray the village or run away, perhaps becoming a ronin is the final destination for people like me..."
