"That's how it is. The injured person has been sent back."
A few days later, Sakumo returned to Konoha with his people and then went to Hokage building to report the mission.
Although Land of Sky was dead in name only, his ultimate weapon, the flying machine, was taken away by someone. The last shot was enough to cause a devastating threat to any country!
However, when Sarutob Hiruzen asked him if he had found any clues about the other person's identity, he chose to hide it and did not tell it was Haru.
Perhaps he didn't want to see any more irreconcilable conflicts between the village and Haru, so he was stuck in a dilemma.
Sarutob Hiruzen pondered for a moment and asked, "Are there any survivors of Land of Sky?"
He asked this question with two meanings. First, he wanted to know if the mission was handled cleanly. Second, he wanted to find two survivors to interrogate the whereabouts of the flying machine.
It was not that he wanted this thing, but that he could not fall into the hands of the enemy. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Sakumo shook his head, "Originally there was, but under the power of that shot, everyone was reduced to ashes, leaving only a deep bottomless pit. As for whether there are any other people besides these people who are still alive, it is still unclear."
Sarutob Hiruzen nodded slightly. Overall, he was still satisfied with the mission that Sakumo and the others had completed this time.
The only flaw was that in the end, the ultimate weapon that Land of Sky had not destroyed, and the clues were also broken.
No one knew who the mysterious person who had stolen Land of Sky's flying machine was and where the flying machine had flown to.
If it was in the past, he would not have taken such a thing seriously.
But the problem now was that Konoha's strength was severely lacking, and he had even lost Kyuubi Jinchuriki. His whereabouts were still unknown.
This was very awkward!
The other big countries were not very afraid of this flying machine. On the contrary, this thing posed a great threat to them, Konoha.
If Land of Sky used the flying machine to attack from the beginning, he might really be able to reverse the situation and determine the outcome in one fell swoop!
But unfortunately, those guys of Land of Sky had greater ambitions. They actually wanted to destroy the five big countries and conquer the entire world. That was why they hid this trick. In the end, it turned into a wedding dress for others, but they ended up with a broken country and a broken family. It was really sad!
"I understand. I will get people to pay close attention to the follow-up of this matter. I will give you three days of vacation to spend more time with your child. I also hope that you can understand the difficulties of the village. Now is the time of war, and each battlefield is short of manpower. As Hokage, I really can't keep 'Konoha White Fang' in the village."
Sarutob Hiruzen said with great emotion, and his eyes were full of sincerity and guilt.
Because he knew that Sakumo would definitely make a choice, and would not make a big loss because of the small.
Sure enough, Sakumo immediately said that he only needed to rest at home for a day, and after paying respects to his late wife and settling the child, he would immediately set off for the battlefield.
Sarutob Hiruzen kept a straight face and asked him to rest and spend more time with the child, while he praised Sakumo in a comforting manner, knowing the big picture.
In the end, he gave a mission scroll to Sakumo and asked him to leave two days later.
When Sakumo returned home, tired, he took the one month old Kakashi from the woman who he asked to take care of the child before he left. It was as if Sakumo suddenly cleared his fatigue, and his face bloomed with the light of fatherly love. He carefully hugged him.
When Kakashi saw Sakumo, he seemed to recognize that this was his father. He was so happy that he cried and stretched out his little hands.
However, the good times did not last long. After a while, Kakashi began to cry and shout.
In the midst of Sakumo's confusion, the woman quickly took the child over, checked the diaper first, and then directly carried the child into the inner room.
Sakumo, who just wanted to follow in, immediately blushed.
He could only flee in a hurry and go to worship his deceased wife.
Because the woman who had changed the diaper for Kakashi was breastfeeding the child.
On the way to the cemetery, he happened to see Hyuga Tokugawa and the others walking out. Looking at the direction, it should be the abandoned park that had been destroyed by the Sky Ninja last time, and it had not been rebuilt yet.
If it was in the past, Sakumo probably would not care and think too much about it.
But this time, because of his curiosity, he quietly followed them.
"How is it? Is there any news?"
"Not yet, but there's no need to rush. With sama's strength and mind, I believe that day will not be far away."
"That's true, but I can't stand it any longer. Ever since that incident last time, the number of relatives of Hokage within the clan has increased. Some of the clansmen that I originally wanted to rope in are now far away from me. Perhaps one day, I will be expelled from the clan, hehe."
"Didn't I already say that I should keep a low profile for the time being and not attract the attention of others?"
"I feel that I have kept a low profile enough. That is because there are always people who want to make a sense of existence in me!"
The few of them were silent. It was indeed so.
Could it be that some people really thought that these big families were all family that loved each other and lived in harmony?
There were only so many resources, would you fight for it?
Power and status, would you fight for it?
You have it, but others don't. You still want everyone to love each other and be modest with each other?
Dream on!
Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your own descendants, right?
So after that incident, these few people had almost been marginalized in their own family.
Although in the end, Hokage was magnanimous and generous enough to not care about the previous offense, those clansmen who had already decided to stand on Hokage's side naturally had to find a way to manifest their own existence.
Then, was there a need to look for other targets?
Wasn't there already a ready-made target in front of them!
As a result, not only were Hyuga Tokugawa's status marginalized, but the resources provided by the clan were also close to zero. Even some stray cats and dogs dared to provoke them!
"Sigh, after all, no one would have thought that there would be so many twists and turns in that matter. In the end, it became so big that it could not be ended." Shikakichi sighed.
At that time, they directly chose to stand on the team. Firstly, it was because of their former friendship, and secondly, it was because they placed a heavy bet on their future on Haru. They gambled that they could successfully inherit the inheritance of Senju Clan and become the next Hokage!
Originally, they had thought that this was not a fool's dream. Instead, there was a great chance.
However, they never thought that it would actually become so complicated in the end. It did not develop as they had imagined!
In the end, there was no way out and only one path to darkness.
Fortunately, they still had a chance. Before Haru left Konoha, he used Sharingan to tell them some things and let them settle down.
