65 Chapter 64 The Death of White Fang

The next day, early in the morning.

When someone walked into the classroom, cheers instantly resounded across the Academy.

"Wow! It's Mizuki!"

"Mizuki is back. Our second grade is finally complete again!"

Looking at the bright smiling faces around him, Mizuki didn't feel moved in his heart, but thought to himself, 'Being too indifferent will make Sōseki get into difficult position. But, what should I do now? If it is Sōseki, what would he do?'

Thinking of this, Mizuki barely squeezed a smile, "Thank you, thank you everyone!"

Seeing this scene, everyone was surprised.

"Huh? Mizuki smiled! Does he smile too?"

"Haha, Mizuki has changed a lot!"

"Although his smile is a bit ugly, it's better than his cold expression!"

"By the way, Mizuki, tell us how you are cured!"

Mizuki was already tired of it, but when he heard this, he cheered up, "You may not know, but Sōseki did this for me..."

"Oh! Wow!"

"Is it so exciting to become a frog?"

Hearing these bursts of exclamations, Asuma became a little sour, and looked at Sōseki with resentful eyes, "It's too much, you didn't even take me with you!"

Ibiki, as always, said with his vicious tongue, "Why would he need to take you? Do you even know how to heal someone?"

Shizune's eyes are filled with starlight, "Sōseki is really amazing, he actually completed such an extremely difficult operation!"

Sōseki was somewhat helpless, "It's still too dangerous. If it wasn't for Mizuki's insistence, I actually wanted to wait until I was more confident before performing the operation."

Kurenai bit her lower lip and sighed softly, "Mizuki doesn't want to be too far behind us!"

Sōseki leaned back on the seat and stretched happily. "Anyway, it's a happy ending!"

But at this moment, Takiya Ryosuke, the "first man who wanted to become the Hokage" in the class, rushed in, "Big news, big news, the first-year, Hatake Kakashi has applied for graduation! Moreover, he said by name that he would challenge the class leader again!"

Hearing this, the whole class was in an uproar.

"Graduation and another challenge? What the hell does that first-year guy want to do?"

"Does he think the humiliation last time wasn't enough?"

At this time, Takiya Ryosuke his head with emotion, "You don't know yet, but just last night, Hatake Kakashi's father committed suicide at their home!"

...

Root, in the underground darkroom.

"He actually committed suicide?" Danzo raised his eyebrows, and immediately said with a sneer, "What a trash! Does this kind of person even deserve to be a Shinobi?"

Aburame Tatsuma, who is wearing a black robe, echoed coldly, "Maybe it's because the gap from hero to sinner is too big!"

"That's why I said that Hiruzen's weak policy is extremely poisonous!" Danzo said dismissively. "The real Shinobi should not be constrained by superfluous emotions. Even if they are misunderstood by everyone, they must unswervingly carry out their own Ninja Way!"

Aburame Tatsuma's indifferent eyes burst out with scorching heat. "Shinobi shouldn't have appeared in the sun in the first place. Only the 'Root' led by you, Danzo-sama is the Shinobi's true belonging!"

Danzo accepted the praise without the slightest embarrassment, turned around and walked into the deeper darkness, "Let 'Root' member temporarily shrink back. Based on what I know about that hypocrite Hiruzen, he will probably use this as an excuse to do something with us soon!"

...

Meanwhile, in the Hokage Office.

The masked Anbu "Elephant" is reporting to the Sandaime.

Sandaime looked sad, "Alas, I killed Sakumo!"

The "Elephant" said anxiously, "Hokage-sama, please don't blame yourself too much. Sakumo's death is entirely due to his own cowardice!"

Sandaime smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Coward? Do you think of him like this?"

The "Elephant" nodded firmly, "It's just some rumors and slander, so it's not worth paying attention to. Moreover, if you make some mistakes, you should try your best to make up for the mistakes you made. What kind of Shinobi use suicide to escape the reality? Such a weak and incompetent person is not worthy for Hokage-sama to be sad about!"

Sandaime took a breath and sighed, "He is not a coward, even, he is stronger and braver than anyone else!"

The "Elephant" exclaimed in surprise, "Hokage-sama, you..."

Sandaime put his hands behind his back, and looked out the window, "He is too smart, but at the same time, too kind. With his intelligence, he would not fail to see the traps Danzo deliberately set, but for the sake of his companions, he jumped into the trap voluntarily."

"His companions..." The "Elephant" was surprised, and immediately realizes, "Indeed, with his, Konoha's White Fang's strength, the success rate of doing the mission alone will be even higher. I thought it was the village who wanted him to train newcomers!"

Sandaime shook his head, "If we wanted them to train newcomers, we will not allow them to perform missions that are too difficult!"

The "Elephant" seems to be surprised again "No wonder he was injured almost every time he returned from the mission in the past two months. So, he actually forcibly completed the mission with his own strength alone?"

Sandaime exhaled a thick puff of smoke, "But, even for a powerful Shinobi like him, it is also impossible to complete the mission with someone dragging his feet every time!"

"So that's how it is, I understand." The "Elephant" sighed with regret in his eyes, " This time, when the mission failed, those Shinobi who were rescued by him still maliciously slandering him, making him feel hopeless..."

"You still don't understand. Elephant! The reason why he committed suicide is actually because of me! "

"Huh? How could it be you? "

"You have all heard of it, right? The rumor that I want Sakumo to become the Fourth Hokage. "

"Yeah, I heard that you will choose between him and Orochimaru-sama!"

"Actually, I am more optimistic about Sakumo at first. Sandaime sighed again, "But Danzo's tests have made me see one thing clearly, that is, Sakumo is too kind!" "

The "Elephant" nodded subconsciously. Even in the eyes of an onlooker like him, Sakumo is indeed too kind.

"I'm not saying this is bad, but, as Hokage, it's not good! Hokage bears the future of the village, and his overly kind heart will make him make the wrong decision at the most critical moment!"

"For the sake of the village, I can only watch him make mistakes, and then let him hide from everyone's sight! "

The "Elephant" nodded, 'There are indeed many people in the village who are very optimistic about Sakumo. If it wasn't for Sakumo's own mistakes, even Hokage-sama would be very passive if he wanted to get his position.'

"But, since Sakumo is so kind, he should be able to understand your painstaking efforts. Why did he do such a radical move?"

Sandaime's eyes became a lot lonely, "If I guess correctly, he should have thought that Danzo and I are suppressing him. In order to prevent those who support him from finally clashing with the village, he made this decision! "

'Is this the truth?' The "Elephant" sighed regretfully, "If he can just ask for Hokage-sama's help, this misunderstanding would not have happened!" "

"He won't come to me, because Orochimaru is also involved! "

"Huh? What?"

Sandaime said with a bitter smile, "He probably thinks that Orochimaru represents my will, and thinks that I am doing this to help Orochimaru pave the way. "

The "Elephant" couldn't believe it, "How could Orochimaru-sama..."

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? Even my own disciple doesn't recognize me as his sensei. "

The "Elephant" remained silent and did not speak.

Sandaime waved his hand in dismay, "Go, clear up those rumors, at least, let Sakumo die as a hero. "

As the "Elephant" nodded, turned around and left, Sandaime's voice came from behind.

"Also, let the 'Root' settle down!"
