Chapter 39 Sakumo’s choice

"Okay, my father knows. You can go out first and let my father be quiet for a while."

"If my father doesn't make the right choice himself, then I will make the choice for him myself."

After that, Satoru turned around and left, leaving Sakumo alone in the dark room.

"elder brother."

Seeing Satoru coming out, Kakashi immediately stepped forward and asked.

"Don't worry, my father is fine. He will be fine after a while. Don't do any tasks for the time being. Stay by your father's side to prevent him from doing stupid things."

"Okay, I understand, brother."

Kakashi nodded with a serious expression. With Hatake Sakumo's current state, it is indeed very worrying.

"Duanzo, you'd better hope that nothing unexpected happens to my father this time, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."

After turning around, the expression on Satoru's face instantly became very gloomy. He knew that this incident was entirely driven by Danzo behind the scenes, and the Third Hokage was at most a bystander in this matter.

At this time, in the Hokage's office, sitting opposite the Third Hokage was a man with one eye wrapped in a bandage. This man was the person in charge of the Roots, Shimura Danzo.

"Danzo, you went too far this time. You shouldn't have set your sights on Sakumo."

The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, narrowed his eyes and looked at Danzo opposite.

Danzo, on the other hand, kept his eyes closed from the beginning to the end and did not open them. As a former teammate of Hiruzen Sarutobi, he knew very well what kind of guy the person in front of him was.

"Isn't this what you want to see, Hiruzen?"

Finally, after a long while, Danzo opened his eyes and spoke.

"If you don't suppress Sakumo's reputation in the village, then neither Orochimaru nor Namikaze Minato you want to support will be able to become the Fourth Hokage."

Hearing this, the Third Hokage instantly choked up.

Although Sakumo has made it clear that he will not participate in the election for the Fourth Hokage, there are some things that cannot be given up just by saying so.

Even if Sakumo voluntarily gave up on the Fourth Hokage, a group of people would still appear to support him, and none of the Minato and Orochimaru he valued could reach Sakumo's level in terms of record and reputation.

"And now Sakumo's two children have also shown very strong talents. When his two children grow up, it will be even harder to suppress Sakumo.

You should know very well that those two children can definitely become people who surpass Sakumo in the future. "

It’s not like Danzo has never thought about sending one of Satoru or Kakashi to his roots, but he can only think about this kind of thing, but can’t take actual actions. After all, Sakumo is not someone to be trifled with, and Sakumo is not someone to be trifled with either. It is simply impossible to send your own child to the roots.

"I know what Hiruzen you are worried about, so I won't ask you to get involved in this matter. You can just watch from the sidelines without intervening."

After saying that, Danzo planned to turn around and leave.

"Don't go too far, Danzo. After all, Sakumo is still of great use to the village."

Upon hearing this, Danzo's figure only paused slightly, as if to express an understanding, and then left without turning around.

"I'm sorry, Sakumo."

The Third Hokage could only express his apology to Hatake Sakumo in his heart.

With the passage of time, the failure of Hatake Sakumo's mission not only did not slowly smooth over the passage of time, but became more and more serious. Even the man who was once rescued by Hatake Sakumo during the mission The ninja also opened his mouth to condemn Hatake Sakumo.

And this ninja's condemnation became the straw that broke the camel's back. Hatake Sakumo could accept the condemnation of ordinary people, but he could not accept the condemnation of the ninja who was saved by him.

Although he knew that someone was behind this incident, it had already caused great damage to his reputation. If he didn't do something to make up for his reputation, then his children, Wu and Kaka The West will also be affected.

Satoru did not find the trouble of the ninja who was rescued by Sakumo, because he knew that the other party was just a chess piece. Even if he found it, what would be done to deal with him.

Maybe he could be allowed to apologize to Sakumo in private, but the damage caused to Sakumo has already reached an irreparable point.

At this time, at Hatake's house, Sakumo knelt and sat in front of his wife's portrait, and in front of him was a polished short sword.

"I'm sorry, Satoru, Kakashi, I finally let you down."

After saying that, Sakumo had already picked up the short knife and pointed it at his abdomen, just as he was about to stab him.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and held Sakumo's hand with one hand.

"As expected, you still made such a choice, father."

Satoru's cold voice sounded.

Ever since the ninja who was rescued by Sakumo began to denounce him, Satoru never left home and was always paying attention to Sakumo's behavior.

"Sorry, Satoru."

Tears continued to flow from the corners of Sakumo's eyes.

At this time, there was a "thump, thump, thump" sound from outside the door, and the door was suddenly opened, and it was Kakashi who hurried over, panting.

Seeing the two people in the room, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw the short sword in Sakumo's hand, his eyes suddenly widened.

"I said that if my father cannot make the right choice, then I will make the choice for him. Since my father wants to disappear from this world, it is better for me to do it myself."

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

Kakashi said with a shocked look on his face after hearing Satoru's words.

"Kakashi, please burn down the house with a fire."

Satoru said calmly.

"Why?"

"Because from now on, I am the head of the Hatake family. This is the order of the new head of the family. Everything in the Hatake family will start from scratch from now on, and the honor of the Hatake family will be re-created by you and me."

Kakashi looked at Sakumo, but found that Sakumo was just sitting there on his knees, with no other words or actions except tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

"good."

After a while, Kakashi nodded, and then released his fire escape directly from the yard, and he immediately evacuated the Hatake house.

"Father, please don't use the name Hatake Sakumo anymore."

The raging fire immediately surrounded and burned the Hatake family, and all the surrounding civilians saw this huge fire.

"This is?"

The Third Hokage naturally saw this scene and looked at this scene in disbelief. Now there are ninjas going to put out the fire, but the Third Hokage already knows what is going on.

"Did you actually make such a choice, Sakumo? If I had known this, I should have stopped Danzo."

The Third Hokage clenched his fists. He did not expect that Sakumo would directly die to express his will.

Even Danzo was surprised when he found out about this. He didn't expect that Sakumo would set himself on fire.
