Naruto the Strongest Hatake

Chapter 12 Sacrifice in the Mission
Fu An, who was frustrated by Shimura Danzo, worked harder to learn ninjutsu.

Because it was Shimura Danzo's order, Yin then asked the team members who were in the blank period of the mission to fight Fu An.

Then, help Fu'an gain experience in battle.

Time, passing in the efforts of the ninja.

Before I knew it, the winter of Konoha's 39th year had arrived.

……

In the winter of Konoha 39, Hatake Sakumo led a team to perform SS-level missions.

Igawa Yunjian, who believed that Kakashi had fully mastered the teaching content of the ninja school, decided to let Kakashi graduate early.

"Three generations, Hatake Kakashi in my class has completely mastered all the courses of the ninja school, and has even begun to study ninjutsu outside the scope of teaching...Since he has the talent to be a ninja, it's no fun to be restrained. Why don't you find a day and let him take the graduation exam in advance?"

Hokage's office, after Igawa Yunjian finished speaking, he handed over an application to the third Hokage Hiruza Sarutobi.

"Hatake Kakashi?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi took the application form, glanced at it for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Since he has fully mastered the school's teaching knowledge, there is really no need to restrain him... ...Right now, the relationship between countries is once again tense. The village really needs to train some new ninjas, just in case!"

"Then you mean..."

"Sure!" After finishing speaking, Third Generation picked up a pen and prepared to sign.

Just when the pen tip was about to land on the page, the door of the office was knocked open with a 'boom'.

The village's upper ninja, Morino Tari, rushed in covered in blood, and knelt down in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Sandaime, Sakumo-sama, he...he..."

"Did the mission fail?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi's heart sank. Does that mean that Sakumo Hatake has...

"No, Sandaime, the mission was successful..."

Senanda Li took out a blood-stained scroll from his pocket and handed it to Sarutobi Hiruzen with both hands.

Then, choking with sobs, he said: "Hyuga Hiuo of the Hyuga Clan died, and Yuhi Mamon also died... After Sakumo-sama gave me the scroll, in order to save the besieged Younv Zhiwei, he also—"

Seeing that he was choked up and unable to utter a complete sentence, Hiruzaru Sarutobi directly summoned Anbu who was hiding in the dark, and asked them to go to Sakumo Hatake and the others to check the situation on the border of the Land of Thunder.

"Live to see people, die to see corpses!"

After Anbu left, Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked Igawa Yunjian to send Morino Tari to Konoha Hospital for treatment.

After everyone left, Hiruzaru Sarutobi took a puff of a cigarette with shaking hands, his expression tired and sad amidst the rising smoke.

"King, at present, Konoha, only your apprentice has the qualifications to become a shadow... I wanted to pass this person on to him, but——

Is it really unpredictable?

Are you like this, and even that child Shuo Mao is like this? "

Three days later, news came from Anbu.It is said that the place where Hatake Sakumo performed the mission has been turned into a ruined wall.

And there, there are still many corpses that have not been recovered.

However, the bodies of the upper ninja Hinata Hiuo and Yuhi Mamono of Konoha Village are nowhere to be found.

The news came again on the fourth day, and they said that they had found the bodies of Hyuga Higao and Yuhi Mamono in Yunin Village, and they were going to try to steal them out and seal them in a scroll to bring them back to Konoha.

On the fifth day, there was no news from Anbu.

On the sixth day, there was no news from Anbu.

"I'm afraid that the Anbu you sent will be more dangerous..." Hokage Office, Danzo Shimura accused Sarutobi Hirzen dissatisfiedly: "Hirzan, the overall strength of your direct subordinate Anbu is seriously declining now!"
