The Samsara of Konoha

Chapter 314 Shuo Mao's Crisis

Time passed quickly in the rapid growth of Kai and Kakashi, and half a year passed in a flash.

In the past six months, Kakashi, who was already very good, improved a lot because of Kai's encouragement, so he got special approval from the school leader and successfully graduated from the ninja school at the age of five.

Not long after Kakashi graduated from ninja school, Sakumo received a mission that changed the fate of both him and Kakashi.

The mission Sakumo received was to go to Kirigakure Village to obtain information, mission rank S, and there were three other Jonin along with him.

This mission needs to go deep into the interior of Wuyin Village, and the risk factor is extremely high. Wuyin Village is the most mysterious Ninja Village of the water country among the five major countries. Although it has not yet come to the blood fog period, its internal intelligence system is extremely developed. Surveillance inside the village is almost impenetrable.

It is said that Shuo Mao and his party just infiltrated the Wuyin Village, which wasted all their strength, and then they had to guard against ubiquitous surveillance and enemies that could be seen everywhere.

In the end, no matter how careful Shuo Mao was, the group of them were still discovered by Wuyin Village, and then fell into siege.

After falling into siege, there are two paths before Shuo Mao. One is to rely on his super strength to abandon other teammates and continue to complete the mission. The second path is to protect his teammates to evacuate Wuyin Village and give up the mission completely. .

And the three teammates seemed to know that Shuo Mao was facing a choice. Although they didn't express any meaning, the panic and pleading expressions in their eyes already explained everything.

Looking at the three teammates who were in panic in front of him, Shuo Mao chose the second path almost without any hesitation, and led the three teammates to successfully escape the roundup of Wuyin Village. Although the task was not completed, the three teammates were still intact. Konoha was brought back without loss.

After returning to Konoha, Sakumo reported the news of the mission failure to Hirazan. After hearing what happened, Hirazan just casually comforted a few people, and then let them go.

Originally, Shuo Mao and other teammates thought it was just an ordinary task failure, and the matter would pass so simply, there would be no other problems, so they turned around and forgot about it.

But a few days later, the news about the failure of this mission suddenly spread like wildfire, and spread throughout the entire Konoha Village at an unimaginable speed. Because Mao was greedy for life and afraid of death, he even gave up the mission and fled back with others forcibly, but the failure of this mission eventually caused Konoha to suffer huge losses.

By the time Hirizhan found out that this matter was abnormal, the news had become so overwhelming that it was difficult to control it, and under the spread of such rumors, Sakumo had changed from an excellent Konoha strongman to a Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death who give up their missions at will for their lives.

Although Konoha villagers had some doubts in their hearts, they did not fully believe these rumors until one of the three people who followed Shuo Mao on the mission at that time accidentally revealed that it was indeed Shuo Mao who saw the danger when he was having dinner with his friends. , and disregarded other people's objections, forcibly issued the "truth" of the retreat order, and the villagers of Konoha began to be completely convinced by the rumors, and began to believe that Sakumo was indeed a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Afterwards, not only did Shuo Mao feel like a mouse crossing the street every time he went out, he was stared at by all the villagers.Cursing and even provocation, even Kakashi is often provoked by other ninjas, and even his teammates are unwilling to team up with him.

On the other hand, Hirizhan easily found out that Danzo was behind the scenes to fuel the flames, so he immediately warned Danzo, and strongly ordered Danzo to withdraw all actions, and then he used various official means to help Saku Mao refuted the rumors, clarified the detailed situation at that time through notices or speeches, and the losses caused by the mission were not as terrible as the rumors.

However, things have developed to this point, even if there is no Danzo to continue to spread rumors, a kind of tyrannical emotion has already grown and grown in the hearts of all the people, and everyone is irritable thinking that what they know is the real truth and represents The Konoha officials are just collaborating with Sakumo to cover up his crimes and the truth of the matter.

So they want to represent the real justice, do justice for the sky, and remove the scourge for Konoha. Therefore, after the officials came out to refute the rumors, the situation not only did not ease, but became more and more tense. There are even some teams organized by the people spontaneously. 24-hour protests and demonstrations in front of Shuo Mao's house.

Under this kind of high-pressure torture, Sakumo and Kakashi were tortured to the point of exhaustion. They could avoid the noise torture through ninjutsu, but they couldn't escape the mental torture. Especially Sakumo, every day Everyone is heartbroken.

Although this part of the rumors has a certain amount of rumors, he was the one who gave the order to retreat at that time. Although the others were afraid and even had a hint of prayer at the time, they did not take the initiative to ask for retreat, so Shuo Mao felt that this time The failure of the mission and the losses caused indeed require him to bear a large part of the responsibility.

Shuo Mao is a serious person, because he felt ashamed, so after hearing other people's accusations, Shuo Mao not only didn't feel angry, but really felt very guilty, so after being oppressed for a long time, in a stormy environment At night, when the demonstrators outside could only hide at home to avoid the rain, Shuo Mao, who was already on the verge of a nervous breakdown, finally chose the road of no return.

Click!

Listening to the thunder outside, Sakumo and Kakashi felt unbelievably clean, because of the heavy rain, the demonstrators who had surrounded their house for many days finally dispersed.

Taking advantage of this rare tranquility, Sakumo coaxed Kakashi into a deep sleep with a smile on his face, and when it was confirmed that Kakashi was asleep, Sakumo immediately put away the smile on his face, and the warm aura on his body disappeared. Suddenly disappeared, leaving only endless death.

"I'm sorry..." Sakumo looked at Kakashi for a long time with guilt in his eyes, and finally left only an apology with endless emotions.

After saying sorry, Sakumo seemed to have finally made up his mind, and then gently exited Kakashi's room, kneeling alone on the floor of the living room, and in front of him stood White Fang, who had been with him for many years.

Looking at Bai Fang, Shuo Mao couldn't help but think of Soul Leaf, a warm feeling suddenly rose in his heart, but this warm feeling was quickly overwhelmed by the endless death energy, and this became the last thing that crushed the camel. A straw, Shuo Mao finally made up his mind and reached out to pick up Bai Fang.

After picking up Bai Fang, Shuo Mao aimed Bai Fang at his abdomen, slowly closed his eyes, and then pressed down hard.

But at this moment, a white as jade, but warm and powerful hand grabbed his wrist and stopped him.

Shocked, Shuo Mao quickly opened his eyes, and then a familiar face came into view, and this familiar face was looking at him with a smile.

"Hun Ye?!" Shuo Mao exclaimed in surprise, and the person who suddenly appeared in front of him was Hun Ye.
