Chapter 311 The Betrayed Man
The room was dark.
Just like Hatake Sakumo's state of mind at the moment.
"Why don't you turn on a light? Sakumo-senpai."
“Putting yourself in darkness for a long time will affect your soul.
Qi Ye said with a hint.
"..." Hatake Sakumo was silent for a while and then said, "Sorry,⁻.
The fingertips lit up with arcs of electricity.
With a flick of the finger, there was a slight thunder, and the candlestick was lit.
pretty!
Qi Ye secretly praised.
The details bear witness to the heat.
This move shows Hatake Sakumo's extremely exquisite Chakra manipulation power.
"Sakumo-senpai, aren't you used to using electric lights?"
Qi Ye looked at the candlestick. He didn't see any facilities like electric lights in the house.
"Ah, I'm more used to candlelight."
"Is it because when you see a candle, you think of the "Will of Fire"?"
Hatake Sakumo was silent again.
Qi Ye looked at the man in front of him.
He, who was always calm and reliable in the past, now has a hint of decadence.
From the fluctuations of the life magnetic field on his body, Qi Ye also knew that his injuries were serious.
Why haven't you gone to Konoha Hospital for treatment?
Qi Ye didn't know what to say.
"Sakumo-senpai failed in this mission is not your fault", "Don't care about other people's opinions, don't commit suicide out of mind"
None of these words can be said.
Qi Ye has to admit that he is not good at persuading people.
Especially people like Hatake Sakumo, if they have an idea, it is difficult for others to influence them.
"Those villagers......"
"I don't blame them."
Before Qi Ye finished speaking, Shuomao made his attitude clear.
Don't blame them?
In other words, Sakumo has someone to blame in his heart?
That's right, after all, it's "Konoha's White Fang", so how can we not see clearly that someone is manipulating the public opinion behind the scenes this time.
Qi Ye felt a little toothache.
The man in front of me knew everything, but he still chose that radical approach in the original world line.
"Sakumo-senpai, can you let me see your sword?"
"JJ?"
Sakumo was puzzled, but he still took off the short blade from the knife holder behind him.
"Cang Lang", Qi Ye drew his sword out of its sheath.
His eyes traced across the cold white blade, and Tian Ye muttered to himself with emotion.
"Are these the white fangs that make Sand Shinobi fearful..."
With Qi Ye's glance, a weak but very pure yin-yang escape force penetrated into the White Fang.
Then he handed it back, and Hatake Sakumo took it without noticing anything strange.
"Qi Ye, what do you think is more important, the mission or the lives of your companions?"
"Abandoning your companions for the success of the mission, or abandoning the mission for the life of your companions, which one of the two is correct?"
This is the longest thing Shuomao said when Qi Ye came in.
The atmosphere in the room was finally not so quiet.
However, Hatake Sakumo did not dwell on public opinion, but instead asked this kind of philosophical question.
Qi Ye thought for a while and said: "Right and wrong should be determined by history. What we can do is believe in what we think is right and fight for it.
Sakumo lowered his head and said, "Really? It really sounds like something you would say. But I always feel it sounds familiar."
Qi Ye said: "Because this sentence is a line from Higu Seijuro."
"Hiko Seijuro? I remembered him. He is a character in your work "Rurouni Kenshin".
Sakumo raised his head slightly: "This character is very charming. Even I feel that I have learned a lot from his views on kendo and world affairs."
What's even more powerful is Qi Ye, Shuomao looked at the young man in front of him.
He has such profound cognitions and thoughts at such a young age, some of which are beyond the scope of a ninja.
Qi Ye asked: "Can I ask, which sentence in it is Sakumo-senpai's favorite?"
Sakumo thought for a moment.
Is it that sentence: "If you want to change the troubled times, you will inevitably join one of the forces, and you will be used to kill each other endlessly in the name of different justices"?
Or "A sword is a murder weapon, and swordsmanship is a way to kill people. No matter how beautiful excuses are used to cover up, this is always the fact"?
"...It should be Hiko's comment about Kenshin." After thinking for a long time, Sakumo breathed out, "He killed many people when he was young, but in the end, he found that no one could be saved. Ħ..."
·Asking for flowers……………………
Qi Ye's eyes flashed.
Do you observe it as it really is?
Qi Ye said: "In my opinion, Kenshin is a small figure in a big era. The executioner Battosai ten years ago, the Ronin ten years later, holding the straight-edged sword that opened up a new era to guarding the new era. The reverse-edged sword represents the transformation of the sword’s mind.”
“But...he has always been burdened with too heavy a mission and belief.
Sakumo murmured and repeated: "A heavy mission and...faith."
Candlelight flickers.
The candlestick oil that had been burning for a long time was gradually consumed.
The light in the room dimmed again.
Sakumo was sitting on his knees, with a short-bladed White Fang on the table.
Only one figure remained.
He was recalling his mission to assassinate the Third Kazekage.
In the Kingdom of Wind, assassinate the Third Kazekage who possesses [Magnet Style-Sand Iron] and is known as the "strongest Kazekage in history".
Even Hatake Sakumo found such a task difficult.
But he has confidence in his knife.
However, when he was about to sneak into Sunagakure with a mobile team, he faced Third Kazekage, Chiyo, Hayakura, One Tail Jinchūriki and ten Jōnin.
Third Kazekage's Sand Iron, Chiyo's White Secret Technique, Hayakura's Scorch Style, and Jinchūriki. Even though this Jinchūriki is very old, there is no doubt that the four of them have experience that can threaten the "shadow".
If it's one-on-one, Sakumo is confident that White Fang is no weaker than anyone else!
However, the four "Kage" class may threaten the "Kage"'s combat power, plus the eight Jōnin who work well together, isn't it worthy of praise if they can bring their companions back alive?
But what made him even more sad and angry was.
Why does Sunagakure know his mission route?
Sunagakure's appearance clearly indicated that he had received accurate information.
So, who leaked his information?
He didn't want to admit that he knew the answer.
Sakumo's eyes were bloodshot.
I felt a pressure coming from my chest.
He stared closely at the short blade White Fang on the table.
In his heart, something began to collapse!
