Chapter 77 Betrayal is the knife that kills people

Hokage’s Office

There was smoke inside, and Sarutobi Hiruzen’s frown never relaxed.

The loss caused by the failure of this mission is very, very great!

And it can obviously be successful, but because Hatake Sakumo is soft-hearted……

In addition, the interests of the village have been harmed, and as the Hokage, he cannot escape the blame. After all, he is the one who made the decision and signed it.

“Sakumo, Sakumo, why weren’t you more cruel back then? In this situation, it’s hard for me to get off the tiger!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen was impatient, especially when two of the three Hokage advisors came, and the first thing they said during the meeting was questioning.

“Yan, Xiaochun, there is still room for redemption in this matter.”Sarutobi Hiruzen finally spoke,”Although the loss is huge, we can get it back from other places. At most, it’s just to complete some more difficult tasks.”

“Hiruzen, is it really as easy as you say?”Mito Monorrhea spoke with impatience,”The economic losses are secondary, but the most important thing is that public opinion is boiling. This will not end well!”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eyes flashed fiercely,”How did the public know about such a confidential mission?”

“Isn’t it you?”Xiaochun was surprised when he went to bed.

“Nonsense!”Sarutobi Hiruzen patted the table and stood up,”My intention was to deal with it coldly, and I didn’t intend to make any noise at all. This kind of behavior is very dangerous!”

“It’s definitely not Hiruzen”

Shimura Danzo strode into the office, followed by two root ninjas, and between them was a man who had been tortured and dressed as a vendor.

“It was this enemy spy who accepted the instructions from his superiors and spread the news about Sakumo’s mission failure.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Shimura Danzo, then at the enemy spy, and felt a struggle in his heart.

He only believed half of Danzo Shimura’s words, but the other half filtered out automatically. This was how the two of them got here over the years.

“Is the investigation clear?”

“The investigation has been clear and this is a confession. Danzo Shimura handed over the document,”And I have found someone from the Yamanaka clan to confirm it using the secret technique of turning around. There is no problem.””

“Suppress the rumors! Sarutobi Hiruzen made a decision immediately,”If rumors are allowed to develop, problems will easily arise, especially on Sakumo’s side.””

“It’s already too late. Danzo Shimura said with a cold face,”Once a rumor starts to gain momentum, forceful suppression will only make it worse. What we have to do now is to throw out another rumor to cover up the Sakumo incident.””

“Easier said than done?”Xiaochun frowned as he went to bed,”It’s not like people don’t know Sakumo’s prestige in the village. After being guided by someone with a caring heart, how much they admired him before, now they despise him!”

“Hiruzen, you can come forward.”Shimura Danzo looked at him seriously,”You come forward to clarify and will……”

“Danzo, you are crazy!”Mito Katoen interrupted him,”Hiruzen is Hokage. If he comes forward to clarify, the message about Sakumo can be suppressed, but Hiruzen’s prestige will be hit. How can he stay in the position of Hokage in the future?”

Danzo Shimura wanted this effect, but his performance was impeccable

“But if this continues, Sakumo is likely to be dragged down by rumors. If the worst happens, the village will suffer greater losses.”

“But Hiruzen’s reputation cannot be sacrificed! Koharu flatly refused,”Let’s think of other ways, such as changing the nature of this incident. The reason why Sakumo gave up the mission was for his teammates. This is in line with the will of fire.””

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eyes lit up, and when he was about to speak, Danzo Shimura beat him to it.

“I have considered this aspect, but Sakumo’s role as an example is too powerful. If this was started, would the ninjas in the village also give up their missions for this reason?”

Danzo Shimura waved his hand,”You can’t open this head. Even if there are extenuating circumstances, it cannot be stipulated in the text. Otherwise… what should we do if everyone follows suit?”

Silence, long silence

The first one to break the silence was Danzo Shimura,”Hiruzhan, only if you come forward can we……”

“no!”

“I disagree!”

Mito Kabuto and Koharu Koharu immediately opposed the situation and were very determined.

Compared with Hatake Sakumo, Sarutobi Hiruzen is even more important. This is not only the Hokage of Imura, but also the source of power for these two advisors.

If Sarutobi Hiruzen steps down because of this, is their status as Hokage advisor still valuable?

“Let the rumors go, Kuyiku Shuomao. I believe he will understand all this after the rumors pass.”Mitomon Yan sighed and gave the worst solution.

This is exactly what Shimura Danzo wanted!

And that was his original plan, and the development of the situation was exactly as he had planned.

No matter if he loses Sarutobi Hiruzen or Hatake Sakumo, it is a sure win for him.

And he has to pretend to be a good person and hide his thoughts

“This is inappropriate. Sakumo has done a great job for the village.……”

“So what do you say?”

“Or I’ll go. Danzo Shimura looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi,”I provided the mission information. Although there is no problem, I am half responsible for the failure of the mission.”

So I went to clarify and take responsibility, and everything will get better.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shimura Danzo and was speechless for a long time. He already had a guess in his mind, but there was no evidence, and because of his friendship with Shimura Danzo, he no longer had the courage to break his wrist.

Conspiracy mixed with conspiracy, this time Danzo Shimura clearly has the upper hand. loadAdv(7,3);

“Give it a cold treatment……”Sarutobi Hiruzen gave the order,”But at the same time, try to release other news to suppress the rumors. And Sakumo, please pay more attention.

Forget it, I’ll explain it to Sakumo myself.……”

Sarutobi Hiruzen explained a few more words before leaving the Hokage’s office and walking towards the Hatake House.

At the same time, Kakashi also met Sarutobi Hiruzen, but his request was rejected by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

In his opinion, Kakashi is just fooling around in this way.

Moreover, the countermeasures have been decided, so there is no intention of changing them again.

Without making any achievements, Kakashi turned around and went to the headquarters of the Inar, Deer, and Butterfly clans.

But Nara Shikaku has a very high IQ and has already analyzed that this is a political game and he does not want to get involved.

The Yamanaka and Akimichi clans are advancing and retreating together with the Nara clan. Since they want to remain neutral and wait and see, they must agree that the three parties will not help each other.

In the evening, Li Che also met with Kakashi

“I……”

“You speak first”

The two said in unison, but then there was silence.

“go home. Li Che also broke the calm,”Since you can’t do it, then block those messages. At least don’t let the teacher hear about it.””

Kakashi nodded, buried his head, and Li Che also rushed back.

The relationship between the two of them relies on Hatake Sakumo. They are both in a whirlpool now. How can the two of them escape?

After all, Li Cheya and Kakashi are only 7 years old, special jounin in the village, and nothing else.

“roll!”

As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, Li Che put one hand on the hilt of the shadow knife and looked at the group of people fiercely,”The wind is like the rain. My teacher’s previous contributions to the village were all wiped out because of this mistake. ?!

Moreover, what do you think the Will of Fire is, are you just talking about it?”

As soon as Li Che finished speaking, the people around him immediately retorted.

“Is it true that it caused losses to the village?!”

“right! Hatake Sakumo should die to wash away his shame!”

“I used to think that he was great, but I didn’t expect that he would voluntarily give up the mission, which was against the vocation of a ninja!”

“And is this the Will of Fire? It is true that he protected his teammates, but who will bear the losses suffered by the village?”

“Yes, these are all excuses, all excuses!”

The crowd in front of the door was furious. I don’t know whether it was from the heart or someone’s instructions, or whether the brain capacity was insufficient.

But bad words are like knives, whether intentional or not, there will always be fluctuations in the hearts of those who listen.

Hatake Sakumo used to fight to the death for these people without ever complaining!

“I was Hatake Sakumo’s teammate. I refused to evacuate at the time, but he insisted……”

And when the last person stood up to criticize Hatake Sakumo, Li Che was completely angry.

“you wanna die!”

He suddenly drew his sword, saw the person and cut him down.

Clang

But Hatake Sakumo was faster and stopped Li Cheya before him. His eyes were calm as usual,”Let him say, I want to hear it.””

Teammates who had been through life and death in the past looked at Hatake Sakumo with guilt, distress, gratitude, etc., but in the end they turned into determination.

You can save me so many times, please save me again this time, the last time

“None of us wanted to give up the mission at that time. For the benefit of the village, we would not hesitate to sacrifice ourselves, but Hatake Sakumo……”

In fact, there was no need to listen anymore. Hatake Sakumo put away his white teeth and turned around and entered the room.

Behind him, the waves of accusations got louder and louder. Hatake Sakumo didn’t take it to heart at all, but the harsh words from his former comrades made Hatake Sakumo break his guard.

Betrayal is always bloody……

And the will of fire that I have always followed has become a joke at this moment.

Then what exactly is it for?

What is the meaning of existence?
