Chapter 27 Reuniting with Kakashi

Aburame Zhiyi began to intentionally and passively collect information about Kakashi.

In fact, it is not difficult to collect information about Kakashi. As the son of Hatake Sakumo, he is occasionally mentioned when the villagers of Konoha talk about him.

In this way, Aburame Zhiyi easily collected Kakashi's information and learned that Kakashi had completed his mission recently and was resting.

The teammate that Hatake Sakumo saved publicly blamed Hatake Sakumo, and other teammates who failed the mission also shied all the responsibility to Hatake Sakumo.

As a result, the White Fang incident intensified. Many ninjas began to realize that things were out of control and began to try to calm public opinion.

But it was all in vain. Public opinion was one-sided about the White Fang incident. Their efforts at most caused a commotion and could not be reversed at all.

When Kakashi returned to the village after completing his mission, he was very angry when he heard the villagers blaming Hatake Sakumo.

But there is no way.

Kakashi returned home and looked for his father with a pale face, hoping to gain some strength.

Seeing Kakashi's pale face, Hatake Sakumo rubbed Kakashi's head with pity.

"I'm sorry, it seems like you suffered because of me."

"It's okay, Dad. As long as you're okay."

Kakashi's face turned rosy as he was comforted by Hatake Sakumo.

In fact, Kakashi was angry that the villagers were talking about his father.

This is because the villagers disrespect their fathers, not because they think their fathers have done something wrong.

Kakashi lowered his head and mustered up the courage to tell Sakumo Hatake what the Konoha villagers had said.

Hatake Sakumo sighed quietly when he heard his teammates starting to accuse him.

Hatake Sakumo didn't blame them, because when he decided to save his teammates, he thought of the current consequences and was determined to bear the consequences.

This is the will of fire that Hatake Sakumo insists on. Even if it is very unfavorable to him now, he will never regret it.

Hatake Sakumo looked at Kakashi, who had been by his side, and sighed imperceptibly, with a forced smile on his face.

"Kakashi, I have nothing to do. You don't have to stay with me all the time. It's time for you to go shopping and have fun."

"Father…"

Kakashi wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Hatake Sakumo.

Looking at his father's gentle eyes, Kakashi was speechless and could only do what his father wanted.

"Father needs a good rest."

Kakashi was still a little worried, but under Hatake Sakumo's eyes, he left his home.

Hatake Sakumo looked at Kakashi's back and couldn't help but blame himself.

"Kakashi, you will have to live alone from now on. It should be very hard. I'm sorry for making you suffer."

Hatake Sakumo had no objection to the fact that he would be punished.

But he can accept the punishment for failing the mission, and will never admit to being punished for saving his teammates.

The two are not the same concept, but some people blurred the two to launch public attacks on him and suppress his prestige.

Hatake Sakumo slowly wiped his sword, a death scythe that killed countless lives on the battlefield, and was a little lost in thought.

"Perhaps I didn't understand the Will of Fire from the beginning."

Hatake Sakumo is more of a samurai than a ninja, but he is not ignorant of politics.

Now, no matter what, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and there are public opinions attacking him among the villagers of Konoha.

The Third Hokage did not speak out or take action to stop it, indicating that this matter was approved by the Third Hokage.

In fact, Hatake Sakumo has a certain understanding of his own prestige, and he also knows that he poses a threat to the Hokage master-disciple system.

Therefore, Hatake Sakumo has repeatedly stated that he is just a sword and has no intention of being the Hokage. He also deliberately stays in seclusion outside of missions and does not communicate with other people.

But he didn't expect that he would still be jealous of the Hokage, and he would even tarnish the will of fire to attack him.

Naruto is the leader of Konoha Village and the embodiment of the will of fire. If even the Hokage does not recognize the will of fire, then does the will of fire still have meaning?

As I thought about it, Hatake Sakumo felt a strange sense of freedom and ease, as well as a sense of world-weariness.

He must defend the will of fire and never allow the consciousness of fire to be tainted!

Kakashi walked blankly on the street, and intermittently heard the villagers talking about Hatake Sakumo. Because of the accusations from his teammates, Hatake Sakumo fell into an even more unfavorable whirlpool of public opinion.

The villagers of Konoha knew that even Hatake Sakumo's teammates were criticizing Hatake Sakumo. As if they were recognized by others, they criticized Hatake Sakumo even harder to prove that they were right.

The occasional dissenting voices were quickly drowned out by the overwhelming chorus of criticism.

"Is father wrong? No! Father can never be wrong!"

Kakashi wanted to argue loudly and teach the villagers a lesson, but he was afraid of bringing trouble to his father.

I can only walk silently on the busy street, out of tune with other people, and my back looks very lonely.

"Hey, long time no see Kakashi."

Kakashi turned his head when he heard this and found that Aburame Shiitsu was waving to him.

"Zhiyi..."

Kakashi was about to say something when he was interrupted by Aburame Zhiyi.

"It's not very convenient here. Come on, I'll treat you to a barbecue and find a quiet place to talk."

Kakashi didn't say anything when he heard this, but silently followed Aburame Zhiyi.

I came to the Akimichi clan's barbecue restaurant again and asked the owner for a quiet room.

The owner of the barbecue restaurant was also very happy to see Aburame Zhiyi.

"Zhiyi is here again."

"Yes, boss, there is no other way but the barbecue here is still delicious."

After hearing Aburame Zhiyi's words, the boss became even more happy.

Aburame Zhiyi led Kakashi to a quiet room.

Seeing Kakashi looking a little distracted, Aburame Shiitsu sighed.

"I also understand the matter of Lord Hatake Sakumo. This matter is very complicated. Don't worry Kakashi. There may be a turning point."

When Kakashi heard Aburame Zhiyi say this, he perked up and asked:

"Zhiyi, do you think my father did something wrong?"

After hearing this, Aburame Zhiyi immediately replied:

"Lord Hatake Sakumo did nothing wrong. If you watch your teammates die in front of you and remain indifferent, then there must be something wrong with the Will of Fire."

"You know, it was the Second Hokage who allowed the Third Hokage to survive after being cut off. The Second Hokage used his life to prove that the will of fire has warmth."

Kakashi felt relieved when he heard that someone recognized his father, and his whole person seemed to be more energetic.

But thinking of his father's haggard appearance, Kakashi couldn't stop worrying on his face.

Aburame Zhiyi saw Kakashi's worried look and spoke accordingly.

"Kakashi, if possible, I would like to meet Lord Hatake Sakumo."

"You want to see my father?!"

Kakashi couldn't hide the surprise on his face when he heard that Aburame Shiitsu wanted to see his father.

At the same time, I am also very grateful to Aburame Zhiyi, who gave me a reason to go home and take care of my father.

Worry about his father made Kakashi agree.

Even if his father blamed him in the end, Kakashi admitted it.
