Chapter 106

Standing in front of Hatake Sakumo's tombstone, Sarutobi Hiruzen was filled with regret.

If he had known this, he should not have blamed Hatake Sakumo so much.

Upon learning that Hatake Sakumo had the opportunity to successfully intercept the scroll of the Iwagakure ninja, but gave up because of saving people, Sarutobi Hiruzen was furious.

So when judging Hatake Sakumo, Sarutobi Hiruzen directly announced the dismissal of Hatake Sakumo from all his positions and asked him to go home and reflect.

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen only regrets the loss of Hatake Sakumo, a high-end combat force, not the loss of Hatake Sakumo as a person. Now that things have come to this, Sarutobi Hiruzen now has to consider who will carry the banner in the Land of Grass. When the news of Hatake Sakumo's death reached the ears of the Iwagakure ninja, the cunning Iwagakure ninja would definitely be ready to move.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and left the cemetery.

After returning home.

Chiyu helped Uzumaki Kushina to process the food. Uzumaki Kushina nudged Chiyu with her elbow:"Kakashi locked himself in the room after he came back. You should go and see him and comfort him. I'll do it now."

Chiyu shook her head:"Now no matter who it is, he won't listen. I plan to wait until he is emotionally stable and then have a good talk with him." Uzumaki

Kushina put her hands on her waist and said:"Don't talk nonsense. Just go if I ask you to go. It's good to watch him!"

Uzumaki Kushina was very worried that Kakashi would be upset and something tragic would happen again.

Chiyu reluctantly let go of the kitchen knife in her hand:"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go."

After Chiyu wiped the water stains on her hands, she came to Kakashi's room.

Kakashi sat on the edge of the bed, like a wooden head, motionless, staring blankly.

Kakashi seemed not to see Chiyu coming in and continued to be in a daze.

Chiyu sat next to Kakashi and didn't say anything, just accompanying Kakashi.

Kakashi in this state doesn't need anyone's comfort.

Forcing comfort may have the opposite effect.

Only when Kakashi accepts the fact that Hatake Sakumo is dead, then comfort will be effective.

The room was very silent, and only the sound of Uzumaki Kushina cooking could be heard faintly.

Not long after, Uzumaki Kushina's voice came

"The food is ready, come and eat quickly." Chiyu said to Kakashi:"Okay, let's eat."

Kakashi stood up woodenly and followed Chiyu to the living room.

Uzumaki Kushina looked at Chiyu and asked if she was okay.

Chiyu spread her hands, indicating that there was no change.

Uzumaki Kushina rolled her eyes at Chiyu.

Chiyu curled her lips, it was not as simple as Uzumaki Kushina thought, it was not as simple as Kakashi said it was.

"All right, wash your hands and eat quickly. I made Sukiyaki pot today."

Chiyu took Kakashi to wash his hands and sat at the dining table.

Uzumaki Kushina kept picking up food for Kakashi:"Kakashi, you are still young and growing, eat more."

Kakashi mechanically picked up the food with chopsticks with a dazed look. No matter what was in the bowl, he would pick it all into his mouth, chew it twice and swallow it directly.

Chiyu stopped Uzumaki Kushina in time.

He was worried that Kakashi would be stuffed to death.

After eating, Kakashi went back to his room and lay down.

Uzumaki Kushina's room.

Because Kakashi is sleeping in Chiyu's room now, Chiyu is now sleeping on the floor in Uzumaki Kushina's room.

Uzumaki Kushina sighed:"I don't know when Kakashi will be able to come out."

Chiyu looked at the ceiling and said:"It may take a long time to come out. Kakashi is very confused now. It is not so easy to come out, but it should be possible to make him cheer up again."

Uzumaki Kushina asked curiously:"Then how can we cheer Kakashi up?"

"To make Kakashi more alert, we should divert his attention and give him another goal."...

For several days, Kakashi remained silent and gloomy.

Chiba and Uzumaki Kushina did not accept any missions during this period and stayed with Kakashi.

When Chiba and Uzumaki Kushina were at home, discussing what to eat for dinner, there was a knock on the door.

Chiba opened the door and found that it was the Hokage's Anbu.

"Chiyu, the Hokage has ordered you to meet him at the Hokage Building!"

"I got it."

Chiyu turned and shouted to Uzumaki Kushina,"Kushina, I'm going out for a while."

Chiyu came to the Hokage's office in the Hokage Building alone and met Sarutobi Hiruzen. Sarutobi Hiruzen had a layer of light dark circles under his eyes and looked very tired.

Since the news that Hatake Sakumo had committed suicide spread, the Rock Ninja of the Land of Grass began to act earlier than Sarutobi Hiruzen imagined.

Although Nara Shinsuke was in temporary command, they had no backbone and could only passively defend.

But if this continues, the originally stable Land of Grass will become chaotic, and the Cloud Ninja of the Land of Hot Spring will definitely respond to the Rock Ninja.

If a chain reaction occurs, a full-scale war may begin.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has already sent Jiraiya in the Land of Hot Spring.

Now the Land of Hot Spring has Orochimaru in charge, which is enough.

This time, Chiyu was called here mainly to remind Chiyu that it was time to work.

Chiba's current strength is definitely at the upper level of the jonin, and it can be considered among the high-end combat forces. How can Chiba be left idle at home all the time?

But Sarutobi Hiruzen certainly can't say it directly, because he also knows that Chiba is now Kakashi's master.

Kakashi has such a big thing, and Chiba, as a master, should really be with Kakashi. Sarutobi

Hiruzen feels a little bit of indebtedness to Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi.

After all, Hatake Sakumo made such a great contribution to Konoha, but ended up like this.

Hatake Sakumo, who committed suicide, is not even qualified to be on the memorial tablet.

That's why Sarutobi Hiruzen waited for so many days and summoned Chiba today.

And Chiba can naturally guess why Sarutobi Hiruzen asked him to come.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and asked with concern:"How is Kakashi?"

Chiba sighed:"Kakashi's condition is very bad. He has been immersed in grief and can't get out of it for a while."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said helplessly:"I didn't expect Sakumo to choose to end his life in this way."

Chiyu remained silent.

Sarutobi Hiruzen went on,"However, people should always look forward. I believe Kakashi will be able to get out of this tragedy and inherit Sakumo's will and the will of fire."

Chiyu wanted to laugh when he heard this. Weren't they the ones who caused Hatake Sakumo's faith to collapse and forced him to death?
