The four 'companions' of Hatake Sakumo left.

Hatake Sakumo sat alone in the room, blankly on the ground.

The sadness in Hatake Sakumo's eyes was so strong that it seemed like ice that could not be melted.

Hatake Sakumo recalled the time when his father was still alive.

On the Hokage Rock in Konoha, he and his father looked out over the entire Konoha.

His father proudly said to him: "Sakumo, Konoha is our home. We must do our best to protect Konoha and implement the will of fire."

At that time, Hatake Sakumo was still very young and asked ignorantly: "Father, what is the will of fire?"

His father told him: "The will of fire means that young people are the hope of the future. The older generation should trust and protect them. The sacrifice of the older generation is not meaningless, but will inspire young people to become the pillars of the future.

Just like you and me now, I will protect you to grow up, and you will also grow into new leaves.

Where the leaves fly, the fire will continue to grow. The flames will continue to illuminate the village and let the new leaves sprout."

After Hatake Sakumo became a ninja, he took the will of fire as his own ninja way and worked hard for it.

Hatake Sakumo has the coldness of sacrificing for the rules, and the feelings for his companions, but between the rules and companions, no matter how many times he is asked to choose, he will firmly choose his companions.

But...

Now everyone thinks he is wrong.

The villagers, ninjas, and even the Hokage, the head of the village, all thought he was wrong.

Hatake Sakumo didn't understand. Was the will of fire he insisted on wrong?

Shouldn't he inherit the will of fire passed down by his father?

Denying the will of fire is equivalent to denying all the efforts Hatake Sakumo has made so far.

Hatake Sakumo walked to his bed, picked up the White Fang short blade on the ground, and stared at it blankly.

Hatake Sakumo can no longer find a reason to protect Konoha.

Konoha gave him a reason to fight for it, but now, it was Konoha that defeated his ninja way.

His will has collapsed.

Hatake Sakumo's eyes were broken and dark, and he slowly pulled out the White Fang short blade.

Hatake Sakumo said hoarsely: "I'll leave Kakashi to you. Apologize to him and me. I'm sorry."

Qiyu outside the house said with regret: "I will. I will take good care of Kakashi and make him a man who can stand on his own. I'm sorry that I can't help you."

"You don't need to apologize to me. I have no reason to live anymore. I feel relieved when you are here."

After the voice fell, Hatake Sakumo stabbed the White Fang short blade into his abdomen and chose to commit suicide.

Listening to the sound of blood gushing in the house, Chiyu whispered: "Goodbye, Hatake Sakumo, you are no longer Konoha White Fang, and you have broken free from the shackles of Konoha."

[Witness the death of an important figure Hatake Sakumo, and reward 5,000 witness points. ]

Chiyu used the instant body technique to leave the Hatake mansion.

...

Kakashi, who was venting his manic emotions in the woods, suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground, as if someone had strangled his throat, making it difficult to breathe, and a huge sense of loss surged in his heart.

It seemed that something important had left him.

Kakashi broke out in cold sweat, hurriedly stood up from the ground, and ran towards home like crazy.

The closer he got to home, the stronger the feeling of uneasiness in Kakashi's heart became.

Finally, Kakashi came to his home, and when he wanted to push open the door of Hatake Sakumo's room, he suddenly stopped.

Kakashi began to be afraid for no reason.

It seemed that there was a voice in his heart telling him that if he pushed open this door, he would never be able to go back.

Kakashi shook his head vigorously and took several deep breaths, but when he smelled the blood, Kakashi trembled all over.

Kakashi bit his lip and pushed open the door with trembling hands.

Seeing Hatake Sakumo lying in a pool of blood, with his left hand holding the White Fang short blade, Kakashi's brain suddenly roared.

Kakashi staggered to Hatake Sakumo like a zombie and stared at his body blankly.

"Father..."

Kakashi fell to the ground as if all the air had been sucked out of his body.

Kakashi's tears kept pouring out, and he wanted to cry, but he couldn't make a sound. One hand grabbed his chest, and the other hand

Holding Hatake Sakumo's already cold hand.

Extreme grief made Kakashi roll his eyes and faint on the ground.

The next day.

Kakashi opened his eyes and found himself in the Konoha Ninja Hospital.

Kakashi sat up suddenly: "Father!"

However, there was no Hatake Sakumo around, only Chiba and Uzumaki Kushina.

Seeing Chiba and Uzumaki Kushina's sad expressions, Kakashi was stunned.

It turned out that this was not a dream, this was real.

His father committed suicide.

Kakashi covered his face and cried: "Chiba teacher, my father... died... ah!"

Kakashi burst into tears.

Even though Kakashi was already a ninja, and a Chunin, and had participated in many battles.

But Kakashi was only 7 years old now, and the death of his only close relative still made Kakashi heartbroken.

Seeing Kakashi in such grief, Uzumaki Kushina also sobbed.

Chiba put her hand on Kakashi's shoulder, without saying anything, but silently comforting Kakashi.

A few days later.

At Hatake Sakumo's funeral, only Kakashi, Chiba and Uzumaki Kushina were in charge.

The funeral was particularly deserted, with only a few of Hatake Sakumo's former companions coming to mourn.

Kakashi stared at Hatake Sakumo's tombstone with a dull look.

"Why, Teacher Chiba, why did my father commit suicide?"

Chiba said in a deep voice: "Because... Lord Sakumo was betrayed, betrayed by the spirit he had fought for all his life."

Kakashi's lips moved slightly, and his voice was barely audible: "The will of fire...?"

Chiba and Uzumaki Kushina stayed with Kakashi in front of Hatake Sakumo's grave for a while, and then took Kakashi to their home.

Not long after Chiba and the other two left, a figure appeared in front of Hatake Sakumo's tombstone.

This figure was none other than Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was holding a pipe in his hand, looking exhausted.

When he learned that Hatake Sakumo had committed suicide at home, Sarutobi Hiruzen was extremely shocked, and at the same time he also realized that something big had happened.

Originally, Hatake Sakumo was dismissed from his position, and he was asked to stay at home to reflect for a while, and then after a while, the position would be returned to Hatake Sakumo.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen never expected that Hatake Sakumo would actually commit suicide.

The suicide of Konoha White Fang was a major blow to Konoha, but it was great news for other ninja villages.
