Chapter 189 The Dust Settles

   In particular, Kamunin Mizuki Ken personally visited Hatake Sakumo as a rescued and expressed his gratitude to him.

   At the same time, Satoru took 'Noon' and 'Wei' and personally discussed with Hatake Sakumo all afternoon.

   On the second day, which was the third day after the rumors spread, Sakumo Hatake, the focus of the rumors, appeared in the Hokage Building, the council hall.

  The three generations of Hokage Sarutobi Hizen, high-level advisor Mito Kadome, and Koharu, who turned to bed, looked at Hatake Sakumo with his signature gentle smile, but he couldn't smile.

   "Sakumo, you're here this time..."

   "Three Hokage-sama, two advisors, I am here this time to ask for the punishment for failing the mission."

   Hatake Sakumo bowed slightly, with a smile still on his face, but there was something more in this smile:

   "I didn't expect things to develop like this. My silence has caused such a big trouble, and...blocked some people's way."

   Sarutobi Hizan frowned, tilted his head slightly, and Mito Menyan's eyes also looked over.

   Sarutobi Hiizhan glanced at Koharu again, the other side nodded slightly, he sighed deeply:

   "Sakumo, I hope you can understand the embarrassment of the higher-ups."

   "I understand that as long as I can contribute to the village, I don't care what position I'm in. Besides, I never had that idea."

   Hatake Sakumo nodded lightly and took out a cat face mask.

   This is the sign of Hatake Sakumo in Anbu.

   "Three generations of Hokage-sama, I apply to leave Anbu, and swear...I will always protect the contemporary Hokage."

   "Sakumo, you..."

   "Hatake Sakumo knows that in addition to having some force, he is useless in other aspects, especially interpersonal handling. I should be responsible for the heavy losses to the village this time, but—"

   Hatake Sakumo's black and white eyes calmly looked at Sarutobi Hiizan who was smoking a pipe:

   "I did what I thought was right, and I got the support of my friends and the thanks of my partners. For me, this is enough."

   "...Understood, since this is the case, I will truthfully report your wishes to the Great Name of the Country of Fire in the name of Hokage. This matter will end here."

   Sarutobi Hizen pondered for a moment, and finally nodded lightly:

   "The high-level officials will characterize this matter and quell rumors - at the same time, they will also give you an explanation!"

   "I don't need any explanation. The failure of 'Konoha White Fang' doesn't need any reason. This is the price I paid for my overconfidence, and I dare to conclude..."

   The gentle smile on Hatake Sakumo's face was gone, replaced by a serious one:

   "He won't get it."

   "Three generations of Hokage-sama, two advisors, Hatake Sakumo leaves."

   Hatake Sakumo pushed open the door and walked out, Sarutobi Hizan looked at the cat face mask on the table and fell silent.

   "Sakumo, this is a direct announcement to permanently give up the right to compete for the position of Naruto."

   Mito Menyan slowly opened his mouth, and a bright light flashed in his eyes:

   "So, he still succeeded in the end."

   "That boy, Satoru, has also submitted his application to withdraw from Anbu—and his team.

   He even wrote the high-level statement, really…”

   Sarutobi Hizan shook his head with a wry smile:

   "It's protesting against me, Yan, Satoru, but he can't tolerate sand the most. To be honest, this time I'm worried that he will directly conflict with Tuanzang."

   "In that case, why don't you stop Danzo?"

   Turning to bed, Xiaochun snorted coldly:

   "Rizhan, you are too lenient with Danzo. What he did this time has exceeded the bottom line!"

   "There was no evidence before, but now there is... I will have a good talk with Danzo, the roots need to be rectified."

   Sarutobi Hiizhan's explanation didn't make Koharu appreciate it, but there was nothing she could do - Sarutobi Hiizhan was soft-hearted about Danzo, not once or twice.

   "Hisashi, your worries are not unfounded. If it wasn't for Sakumo, Satoru would have gone to Danzo to settle the account—

   Remember what he said last time? "

   "The last time... Yan, now, I can't see through that kid, but I can only be glad that this is my Konoha's excellent young man.

  This statement is even more impressive to me! "

   Sarutobi Hizan shook his head and laughed:

   "I didn't expect that the son you raised would be so good--Is Wu really your own son?"

   "Hey! Sun Slash! I'll give you one more chance to organize my language!"

  …

Not long after    Hatake Sakumo personally visited the high-level officials, the high-level officials announced their decision to handle the incident.

   "After a high-level investigation, Sakumo Hagi of Jounin, the major mission in charge failed due to force majeure, and there is no subjective abandonment of the mission.

   Hatake Sakumo himself voluntarily resigned from the position of the captain of the dark part to show self-punishment.

  High-level reminders, keep your eyes open, distinguish right from wrong, trust your peers, don’t believe in rumors, don’t spread rumors, don’t spread rumors.

   For friends, for family, for children, for the future, we will pass on the will of fire that is passionate and bound to each other.

  Everyone is a leaf on the big tree in the village.

  Where the leaves are flying, the fire is still alive——

  The fire will light up the whole village and make new leaves sprout! "

  …

  The official statement works very well.

  In the ninja world, especially in places like Konoha, there is nothing more reassuring than Hokage pouring chicken soup himself.

   Overnight, the rumors about Hatake Sakumo disappeared as quickly as they appeared suddenly.

   would have caused major regrets, and the incident of Konoha losing a shadow-level powerhouse was once again invisible.

   Although the high-level statement did not make it clear, it made it clear that it would not be held accountable for the failure of Hatake Sakumo's mission.

   And the chicken soup in the back is a faint support for Hatake Sakumo's approach.

  Although "Ninjas must focus on tasks" is an iron rule that all ninjas will take as their action plan.

   But this time, the ninjas saw the shadow of the will of fire, which is unique to the Hidden Village of Konoha.

  Someone, there will be a choice.

  With choices, there will be disputes.

   Insist on doing what you think is right, sometimes you really need to challenge the rules.

   But the rules are made by people.

   Rules are also enforced by humans.

  The rules don't necessarily need to be broken, sometimes, it just...needs a little flexibility, some human touch.

   As Hatake Sakumo stepped down as the leader of the dark section, the Satoru team also stepped down from the dark section.

   Tsunade got the magic necklace custom-made by the realization, and temporarily focused all his energy on perfecting the technique of Baihao.

   Therefore, she recommended Nonoyu to be the leader of the Konoha medical team, and temporarily replaced her with the training of medical ninjas.

   Rope Tree and Watergate have nothing to say, both of them have relatively special identities.

  Ku Dunninja and Hiroshima Guard, without Anbu's mission, they began to perform ordinary missions in their original capacities.

  Originally, Satoru also thought that he could finally take this opportunity to have some free time and conduct a wave of research——

   After all, in order to make Hizan Sarutobi "make up his mind", Satoru gave him the Enchanted Enhanced Battle Vest that he had been holding.

   There is Orochimaru "part-time job" - in fact, this is used to practice "master-level magic", and the number of completed enhanced combat vests is quite large.

   This time, Satoru was not polite, and on the issue of processing fees, he did not fall for Sarutobi Hidden again.
