Chapter 23 White Fang commits suicide

Konoha 44, an ordinary day.

I don’t know when a news began to circulate in the village, saying that the Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumoger, a hero as famous as the Sannin and the one who frightened the enemy, actually gave up the mission for the sake of his companions during a mission, causing the village to suffer. Huge loss.

This unknown news came from nowhere and intensified, causing an unprecedented storm.

Many people are criticizing Hatake Sakumo as not worthy of being Konoha's hero because he can't even complete the task. Such rumors have even spread to the school.

Both Che and Hong heard about this.

Red asked, "Isn't White Fang really a hero?"

Che answered Hong's doubts: "Of course Konoha White Fang is a hero. Can't heroes make mistakes?"

Kurenai Yuhi showed a cute expression of realization and said, "Yes, heroes can make mistakes too."

Che added: "And whether it is a mistake or not must be seen in detail. Those people who were seriously injured by the rumors may not know the truth like us, and they just insulted the heroes with just one mouth. As everyone knows, what they did to Konoha The contribution may not even be one ten thousandth of Konoha White Fang’s.”

Hong agreed with Che's point of view and echoed it repeatedly.

Both of them thought that this was just another unrest in the village that would soon subside.

But what no one expected was that the storm would not only intensify, but also lead to a tragedy.

The legendary ninja, Sakumo Hatake, whose white fangs of Konoha frightened his enemies in the ninja world, commits seppuku at home.

This result was something Che never expected.

"Konoha White Fang is so strong that he is a bit stupid. Why should he be affected by those rabble and even commit suicide?"

"And are all the higher-ups in Konoha idiots? They allowed the village's heroes to be attacked by the villagers."

"Or is there a hidden agenda behind all this?"

Che was quite shocked by this, and felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Che then decided to find Kakashi, the son of the person involved, to ask about the specific situation.

That evening, Che said hello to Hong and said he wouldn't be at home for dinner tonight, and then went to Kakashi's house alone.

When Hatake Sakumo was still alive, Tokakashi once invited him to his house for a meal.

So Che knew where Kakashi's home was.

Speaking of that meal, Hatake Sakumo asked Guo Che to take care of his useless son in the future.

Unexpectedly, his words came true and Sakumo committed suicide.

Now that Che came to Kakashi's house to find Kakashi, he had lived up to Sakumo's instructions.

Kakashi's home is somewhat similar to Che's home, in that they are both very secluded and large houses.

When they arrived at the door of Kakashi's house, the sky had darkened, and Che noticed with his six eyes that Kakashi was not at home at this time.

Fortunately, he didn't wait long before Kakashi returned home carrying three fishes.

Kakashi raised the fish in his hand and said, "Why are you here? Do you want to stay for dinner? I just caught three fish."

Che responded: "Okay."

The two people walked into the house. Kakashi started to pack the three fish and prepare to cook. Che glanced out the window and seemed to notice something.

At this time, Kakashi said: "You must be here to comfort me, right?"

Che admitted generously: "Let's see what's going on with you now?"

Kakashi felt the concern from his companions and choked up for a moment, saying: "...I'm really not used to being alone now."

Kakashi had tears in his eyes, and the knife in his hand that cut open the fish was trembling slightly, but he was strong enough to restrain his sadness.

"I have lived like this for three years." Che said lightly.

Kakashi was stunned for a moment. He didn't know much about the family situation of the boy in front of him who had defeated him twice.

Unexpectedly, Che's parents died just like him, and this happened two years ago.

Che then added: "My mother passed away a year after giving birth to me, and my father passed away when I was five years old. He entrusted me to the Uchiha family before he died, and that's how I am today."

"It was really hard to adapt to living alone at first. I had a lot of inconveniences at home, such as cleaning, washing and cooking. These all affected my daily study and practice."

"But these are the easiest to adapt to. The hardest to adapt to is the psychological dilemma."

"It's hard to live alone."

"I thought the rest of my life would be like this, but Hong's father asked me to have dinner with Hong every day and keep each other company."

"At first, I didn't think it was anything, but as time went by, I felt that the loneliness in my heart had indeed been alleviated. At this point, I am very grateful to Hong and his father."

Che showed a maturity beyond ordinary people, and what he said made Kakashi deeply understand.

Kakashi sighed with slight envy, "You are indeed lucky to meet Kurenai."

Che said playfully: "Isn't it the same for you? I have Hong and you have Lin."

Kakashi shook his head slightly, instead of dealing with the topic head on, he changed the subject.

Kakashi cut open the bellies of the three fish, took out the internal organs and washed them under the faucet. He turned to look at Che and asked: "If you were my father, faced with that situation, would you go and rescue your companions, or should you go and save them?" Continue to complete the mission? Is what my father did wrong?"

Che looked at Kakashi and felt that this young man was not as strong as he looked.

His heart has been greatly shaken by the death of his father.

But Che did not lie to take care of Kakashi's emotions. Che expressed his inner views in detail: "I think your father is wrong, but what he is wrong about is not rescuing his companions, but He committed suicide because of the rumors spread by the villagers.”

"Rescuing your companions may not be the best choice, but it is your father's choice. In this case, it is no longer right or wrong."

"In my opinion, if there is a trade-off between companions and tasks, then I will consider it based on the situation."

"If this companion is a stranger to me, I will complete the task first, and then try to rescue him after completing the task."

"But if this companion is someone I cherish, such as Hong, then I will give up the mission and rescue the companion as soon as possible."

It was a quiet night, and Che's words floated clearly in Kakashi's home, reaching outside through the open window.

Kakashi was thinking carefully about Che's words. At this moment, the movement outside the window interrupted Kakashi's thoughts and attracted Kakashi's attention.

"Come out, I will make more, let's eat together."

Obito rubbed his head and stood up from the grass in embarrassment, saying, "I was discovered by you."

"Sorry." A gentle female voice came from behind Obito.

Obito turned around and was startled, and screamed strangely. Behind Obito was Nohara Rin.

"I didn't mean to hide... I just saw Obito and Lin hiding, so I hid too..." Another figure emerged from the grass, right next to Nohara Lin. This is Yuhi Kurenai.

Yuri's little face turned red, obviously she heard what Che just said.

Che was not surprised at all by this. In fact, as soon as the three people came to the window one after another, Che noticed it with his six eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Just like that, that night, four guests suddenly came to Kakashi's home.
