Guardians of Tirisfal of Konoha

Chapter 189 The Dust Settled

In particular, Kamishino Mizuki Ken, as a rescued person, personally visited Hatake Sakumo and expressed his gratitude to him.

At the same time, Wu took "noon" and "wei" to discuss with Hatake Sakumo in person for an afternoon.

On the second day, that is, the third day of the rumors, the focus of the rumors, Hatake Sakumo, appeared in the Hokage Building, the meeting hall.

The three generations of Hokage Sarutobi Hiruza, high-level consultant Mitomon En, and Tenzu Koharu looked at Hatake Sakumo with his trademark gentle smile, but they couldn't help but laugh.

"Suo Mao, this time you come..."

"Third Hokage-sama, two advisors, I am here this time to ask for punishment for mission failure."

Hatake Sakumo bowed slightly, with a smile still on his face, but there was something more in the smile:

"I didn't expect things to develop like this. My silence caused so much trouble, and...blocked the way of some people."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned, tilted his head slightly, and Mitomon Yan looked over.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at Zhuan Xiaochun again, the other party nodded slightly, and he let out a long sigh:

"Suo Mao, I hope you can understand the embarrassment of the higher-ups."

"I understand that as long as I can contribute to the village, I don't care where I am. Besides, I never had that idea."

Hatake Sakumo nodded slightly, and took out a cat face mask.

This is the symbol of Hatake Sakumo in Anbe.

"Third Hokage-sama, I apply to leave Anbu, and swear... I will always only guard the contemporary Hokage."

"Suo Mao, you..."

"Sakumo Hatake knows that except for some force, he is useless in other aspects, especially in dealing with people. I should be responsible for causing heavy losses to the village this time, but—"

Hatake Sakumo calmly looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was smoking a pipe, with black and white eyes:

"I did what I thought was right, and I got the support of my friends and the thanks of my partners. For me, that's enough."

"...Understood, since this is the case, in the name of Hokage, I will truthfully report your wishes to the Daimyo of the Fire Country, and this matter will come to an end here."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slightly:

"The high-level executives will determine the nature of this matter in a few days and quell the rumors——at the same time, they will give you an explanation!"

"I don't need any explanation. The failure of 'Konoha White Fang' doesn't need any reason. This is the price I paid for my overconfidence, and I dare to conclude..."

The gentle smile on Hatake Sakumo's face disappeared, replaced by seriousness:

"He won't succeed."

"Three generations of Hokage-sama, two advisors, Hatake Sakumo bid farewell."

Hatake Sakumo opened the door and went out, Sarutobi Hirzen looked at the cat face mask on the table and fell silent.

"Sakumo, this is directly announcing that he has permanently renounced his right to compete for the position of Hokage."

Mito Menyan opened his mouth slowly, a flash of light flashed in his eyes:

"So, he succeeded after all."

"That child, Wu, has already submitted his application for quitting Anbu—and his team.

He even wrote a high-level statement, really..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled wryly and shook his head:

"This is protesting against me, Yan, Wu is the most tolerant of sand. To be honest, this time I am worried that he will directly conflict with Danzo."

"In this case, why don't you stop Danzo?"

Turning to sleep, Xiaochun snorted coldly:

"Hizhan, you are too tolerant of Danzo, what he did this time has exceeded the bottom line!"

"There was no evidence before, but now I have it... I will have a good talk with Danzo, the root needs to be rectified."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's explanation didn't make Koharu appreciate it, but she couldn't do anything about it -- Hiruzaru Sarutobi was soft-hearted about Danzo, not once or twice.

"Hi Zhan, your worry is not unfounded, if it wasn't for Sakumo, Satoru would have gone to Danzo to settle the score——

Remember what he said last time? "

"Is it the last time... Yan, now, I can't see through that kid, but I can only be thankful that this is my outstanding young man from Konoha.

This statement is even more to my liking! "

Hiruzaru Sarutobi shook his head and laughed:

"I didn't expect that the son you raised would be so outstanding—Wu is really your own son?"

"Hey! Sun Zhan! I'll give you another chance to organize my language!"

...

Not long after Hatake Sakumo visited the high-level in person, the high-level made public their decision on the handling of the incident.

"According to high-level investigations, the major task that Jonin was responsible for Hatake Sakumo failed due to force majeure, and there is no subjective abandonment of the task.

Hatake Sakumo himself voluntarily resigned from the position of captain of the dark department as a sign of self-punishment.

High-level reminders, keep your eyes open, distinguish right from wrong, trust your companions, don't believe in rumors, don't spread rumors, and don't make rumors.

For friends, for family, for children, for the future, pass on the will of fire that is passionate and mutual fetters.

Everyone is a leaf on the big tree of the village.

Where the leaves dance, the fire is also alive——

The fire will light up the whole village and cause new leaves to sprout! "

...

The official statement works very well.

In the ninja world, especially in a place like Konoha, there is nothing more reassuring than Hokage pouring chicken soup himself.

Overnight, the rumors about Sakumo Hatake disappeared as quickly as when they suddenly appeared.

The incident that would have caused great regret, and caused Konoha to lose a Kage-level powerhouse, once again disappeared invisible.

Although the high-level statement did not make it clear, it made it clear that Sakumo Hatake was not held accountable for the failure of the mission.

And the chicken soup in the back is even faintly supportive of Hatake Sakumo's approach.

Although "ninjas must focus on missions" is an iron rule that all ninjas will regard as a program of action.

But this time, the ninjas saw the shadow of the Will of Fire, which is unique to Konoha Hidden Village, outside the rules.

Someone has a choice.

Where there is a choice, there will be controversy.

Insist on doing what you think is right, sometimes you really need to challenge the rules.

But the rules are made by people.

Rules are also enforced by people.

Rules don't have to be broken, sometimes, it just... needs a little flexibility, a little human touch.

With Hatake Sakumo stepping down as the captain of the Anbu, Team Satoru has also stepped down from the Anbu.

Tsunade got the magic necklace customized by Sato, and temporarily put all his energy on perfecting Baihao's technique.

Therefore, she recommended Nonoyu to be the monitor of the Konoha medical class, and temporarily replace her in the training of medical ninjas.

There is nothing to say about Shengshu and Minato, both of them have relatively special identities.

Mutun ninja and Renzhuriki guards, without the mission of Anbu, they began to perform ordinary missions in their original identities.

Originally, Wu also thought that he would finally be able to take this opportunity to take a break and conduct a wave of research——

After all, in order for Sarutobi Hiruzen to "make up his mind", Satoru handed him the enchanted enhanced combat vest that he had been clutching.

There is Orochimaru "part-time job"-in fact, this is used to practice "master-level magic", and the number of strengthened combat vests completed is already quite a lot.

This time, Satoru wasn't polite, and he didn't fall for Sarutobi Hiruzen's tricks when it came to processing fees.
