Chapter 103

Uzumaki Kushina and Chiba have been exchanging letters, and Uzumaki Kushina told Chiba in detail all the changes in Konoha's public opinion during this period.

Now all positions of Hatake Sakumo have been dismissed and he is idle at home.

Uzumaki Kushina also investigated the source of the public opinion about Hatake Sakumo.

Regarding the public opinion about Hatake Sakumo, Uzumaki Kushina found out that it was said by three of Hatake Sakumo's four teammates.

This time Hatake Sakumo gave up the mission, and in addition to Hatake Sakumo, the other four teammates were also punished.

One of Hatake Sakumo's teammates felt that he was too unfair to be punished.

He felt that this matter had nothing to do with him at all. The decision was made by Hatake Sakumo. He was a subordinate and just chose to obey Hatake Sakumo's orders and execute the orders.

Unconvinced, he told this matter after drinking.

The other two teammates were actually very unconvinced in their hearts, but they had been holding it in.

Seeing that their teammates had already said it, they simply said it all.

They said that it was all Hatake Sakumo's decision, and they didn't want to give up the mission, but because Hatake Sakumo was their captain and they were his subordinates, they chose to give up because they couldn't disobey Hatake Sakumo's orders.

On the contrary, there was no movement from Tsuki, who Chiyu asked Uzumaki Kushina to focus on.

Tsuki lost an arm and two legs, and he could no longer be a ninja.

After receiving treatment at the Ninja Hospital, he was taken home by his family to recuperate, and he has not appeared since then.

However, according to Uzumaki Kushina's observation, the other three teammates are now frequently in and out of Tsuki's home.

Chiyu finished reading the whole letter, closed his eyes and thought.

Chiyu never thought that it was Hatake Sakumo's three teammates who leaked this matter.

It's really chilling, being stabbed in the back by your own teammates.

It's just to put all the blame on Hatake Sakumo.

And it seems that the Konoha high-level did not stop Hatake Sakumo's three teammates, which can be regarded as tacitly approving their behavior.

Since the three teammates frequently went in and out of Shiki's house, they must have wanted to persuade Shiki to blame Hatake Sakumo.

In this case, Hatake Sakumo committed suicide during this period.

""Huh, it's time to go back to Konoha."

Qianyu burned the letter in his hand and set off directly to Konoha....

Six days later.

Chiyu rushed back to Konoha in a dusty state.

When she got home, Uzumaki Kushina happened not to be out on a mission.

After the two of them spent some time together, they talked about business.

Uzumaki Kushina asked:"Chiyu, is the rumor about Lord Sakumo in the village true?"

Chiyu nodded:"Yes, it is true."

Chiyu told Uzumaki Kushina what happened.

Uzumaki Kushina covered her mouth and said in disbelief:"How could this be? Lord Sakumo chose to save his companions. Is it wrong?"

Chiyu said in a deep voice:"Yes, but it is also wrong."

Uzumaki Kushina did not understand Chiyu's answer.

Chiyu explained,"Konoha advocates the Will of Fire. Lord Sakumo was not wrong to save his companions. However, Konoha's rules strictly prohibit abandoning missions. Lord Sakumo was wrong to save his companions."

Uzumaki Kushina frowned and said,"Why is there such a rule? Do we have to watch our companions die? No one can do that, right?" Chiyu told Uzumaki Kushina

,"Not only Konoha, but all ninja villages are the same. They need a spirit to make the people in the village feel a sense of belonging to Konoha and be loyal to Konoha.

But Konoha also needs ninjas, chess pieces that will do whatever it takes to complete the mission, and this is contrary to the Will of Fire, so strict regulations contrary to the Will of Fire were introduced.

If the mission is not important, then it is not wrong to choose to save your companions, but once the mission is very important, it is a big mistake to abandon the mission and choose to save your companions."

Uzumaki Kushina felt uncomfortable as if a thorn was stuck in her throat:"Why? Why would there be such a contradictory rule?"

Qian Yu shook her head:"Actually, this is normal, Kushina. For some extremely important missions, it is not excessive to sacrifice as many lives as possible and as many ninjas as possible. So when it is time to give up your companions, you still have to give up. In fact, this is also a manifestation of the will of fire.

But the mistakes made by Lord Sakumo are not unforgivable mistakes, and the current war requires Lord Sakumo's ability."

Uzumaki Kushina is now dizzy:"Since Lord Sakumo is so important, why do you let these public opinions develop?"

Qian Yu guessed:"Maybe it's because this public opinion can't be suppressed. Because of the tense situation, everyone is tense and needs an outlet to vent. Moreover, they are also dissatisfied with Lord Sakumo's actions this time, so they simply don't care. They also want to take this opportunity to warn other ninjas about the seriousness of giving up the mission."

This is the most likely reason that Qian Yu currently thinks of for Konoha to choose to let public opinion ferment.

Qian Yu guessed that the Konoha high-level officials might just want to let Hatake Sakumo dry first, and then re-employ Hatake Sakumo when public opinion calms down a little.

However, the Konoha high-level officials did not expect that Hatake Sakumo would choose to commit suicide and die for the Will of Fire in his heart.

The death of Hatake Sakumo was a heavy blow to Konoha.

Konoha's high-end combat power was already stretched thin, and it was backstabbed by one of its own people.

Uzumaki Kushina sighed:"It's really complicated. By the way, then you go and see your disciple. Lord Sakumo's affairs have affected him. Every time he goes out, he will be pointed at."

Chiyu nodded:"I know, I'll go find Kakashi now."

Chiyu said goodbye to Uzumaki Kushina and went to look for Kakashi.

Hatake mansion.

Chiyu found Kakashi who was practicing alone. Kakashi seemed to be venting, hitting the wooden stake with his fists in a disorderly manner.

"I have never taught you such a training method."

Kakashi looked up suddenly, and when he found that it was Chiba, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was immediately replaced by a haze.

"Teacher Qianyu..."

Chiyu walked up to Kakashi and asked,"How is Lord Sakumo?"

Kakashi looked towards a room and said with some disappointment,"My father has locked himself in the room and has not gone out for some time. Even meals have to be brought in by me. Every time I enter the room, my father is lying on the bed. No matter how I call him, he ignores me."

Chiyu looked at Kakashi and asked,"What about you? How are you?"

Kakashi forced a smile and said,"I'm fine."

Chiyu asked again,"So what do you think? Was it right or wrong for Lord Sakumo to give up the mission and save his companions?"

Kakashi took a breath and lowered his head and fell silent.
