90 Chapter 90: When Conspiracy Meets the Film Crew [Part 2]

"Simple as that!" Kakashi rolled his white eye. How did his father gain his reputation? Besides his strength, the most important thing was the number of people he killed. During the war, his father was able to be active on the battlefield and made a name for himself as Konoha's White Fang. But now that there is no war, where can he go to kill people?

"But if you like swordsmanship, I can lend you the Hatake clan's swordsmanship scroll to take a look!" Seeing Sakura holding the Starry Night so tightly, Kakashi had some ideas. In any case, he couldn't reach the level of his father's swordsmanship now, so it would be better to find a reliable successor for his father.

"Who said I like swordsmanship?" Sakura looked at Kakashi strangely. Did she ever say that she liked practicing swordsmanship?

"Why did you make such a good sword then?" Kakashi covered his chest with his hand, feeling heartbroken at the thought of the precious meteorite iron being used to make a sword.

"For decoration!" Sakura said confidently. "My goal is to become a mage. Uncle Kakashi, do you think I'm bored? A mage practicing swordsmanship?"

"Why did you use such a good sword for decoration?" Kakashi covered his chest with his hand, feeling heartbroken at the thought of the precious meteorite iron being used to make a sword.

"Otherwise, why? Swordsmanship requires practice from a young age and perseverance. I don't have that patience!" Sakura put the Starry Night aside and said, "As for the main reason for making the Starry Night, the first is for the shape, the second is to deceive the enemy. When the enemy sees me holding such a good sword, they will definitely think that I am practicing swordsmanship. When we fight, I can catch them off guard. The last reason is that I am a long-range attacking mage."

"What does being a mage have to do with this sword?" Kakashi's eyes twitched. Such a good sword would be famous in the hands of a swordsman, but now it has become a tragic decoration. If the artifact had a soul, it would probably be crying now.

"Uncle Kakashi, don't you know? Every mage has a dream of melee combat. The so-called romance of a mage lies in melee combat!" Sakura counted on her fingers. "Look at people like Supreme Sorcerer Ancient One, Doctor Strange, Loki and Gandalf. They are all mages, but they are particularly keen on close combat. They are also particularly powerful in close combat. Therefore, all in all, melee combat is what mages should do!"

"I haven't heard of any of these people you mentioned!" Kakashi secretly rolled his white eyes. He has been in the ninja world for so many years and has never heard of these people's names.

"That's not the point. They are not from this world!" Sakura waved her hand and said, "I just want to tell you one thing. Melee combat is really what mages should do!"

"Forget it, you can do whatever you want!" Kakashi sighed in his heart, regretting the loss of a good sword.

"Speaking of White Fang's swordsmanship, I think Uncle Kakashi, you can teach Sasuke. He should be more talented in swordsmanship!" Sakura thought for a while and said. In the original work, Sasuke was more proficient in swordsmanship in the later stage. If he is exposed to White Fang's swordsmanship now, his achievements in swordsmanship will definitely be stronger than in the original work.

"Is Konoha White Fang's swordsmanship famous?" Sasuke asked with some doubts. After so many years, many young people have forgotten about Konoha White Fang's name. They have not heard of Konoha White Fang's deeds. After all, when Konoha White Fang abandoned his mission to save his comrades, he was hated by the entire village. Later, he committed suicide and didn't even have a memorial tablet. The history class in Konoha Ninja School naturally wouldn't talk about him.

"Konoha White Fang Sakumo Hatake is one of the two people who were given the command 'if encountered during the mission, you can choose to abandon the mission without punishment' by enemy ninja villages. At that time, Konoha White Fang was extremely powerful, wielding a short sword and killing enemies on the battlefield, causing rivers of blood. Unfortunately, he died in a conspiracy. If he were still alive, the position of the Fourth Hokage would probably not have gone to Minato." Sakura explained Konoha White Fang to a group of people who didn't understand. She really felt sorry for Sakumo Hatake's death. Such a powerful person did not die on the battlefield, but was forced to death by public opinion in the village. If he hadn't died, there would be no such thing as Minato becoming the Fourth Hokage.

"Only two? Who is the other person besides him?" Naruto asked curiously.

"The Fourth Hokage, Konoha's Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze, a person who has a close relationship with you..."

"Huh? Related to me?" For some reason, after hearing Sakura's words, Naruto's heart jumped, and a strange feeling spread in his heart.

"Wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and you will know!" Sakura teased, not revealing anything.

"Sakura, do you want to...?" Kakashi frowned. Naruto's background had always been kept secret, and no one had ever mentioned it in all these years. Could it be that Sakura wanted to tell Naruto the truth?!

"Yes, there are some things that cannot be hidden forever, and hiding the truth is not always a good choice!" Sakura's expression remained unchanged. She had originally planned to tell Naruto during the Chunin exam, but now she thought it would be better to tell him earlier. This way, Naruto could learn the Flying Thunder God technique with his father and let the other ninja villages experience the fear of being dominated by the Yellow Flash again during the Chunin exam.

"What are you talking about? What truth?" Naruto couldn't help feeling a sense of sadness in his heart. A vague image suddenly flashed in his mind, as if two people had once kindly instructed him. However, the image was too blurry, and he couldn't see the faces of those two people clearly.

"Just wait patiently for now. When the time comes, not only you, but also Sasuke, it's time to tell you some things!"

Sakura suddenly looked forward to Sasuke seeing the image of her parents and loved ones still alive.

"What have you been hiding from us?" Sasuke suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Nothing, nothing..." Sakura smiled awkwardly. It shouldn't be a big deal to deceive him that the Uchiha clan was wiped out, right?!

After the group celebrated, the sky had already turned dark. Naruto went alone to the place where Mizuki said the Sealing Book was hidden, and Sakura and the others followed him quietly.
