In order to prepare for the graduation exams in a few months, the students are nervous, and many of them go home after school to receive their teachings because their parents are ninjas.

Although Tomoko Hippo is also a ninja, but only a middle ninja, and a medical ninja, there really isn't much to teach Hippo Hanyu, so Hippo Hanyu can only figure out his own way, after completing the study of medical ninjutsu, Hippo Hanyu's main focus is on opening new techniques, and there are some achievements at present.

It should be pointed out that in addition to the identities of the two public activities, Hippo Hanyu also has a shadow clone who has been studying forbidden arts and ninjutsu in the secret room of Qimu Shuomao, which is also the reason why Hippo Hanyu can waste a lot of time messing around in school without worrying about strength.

Because the shadow clone divided the chakra equally, until now, Hippo Hanyu has not shown the strength of his whole body, according to the evaluation of Hachiki Shuomao, it is a rather terrifying force, even he may not be sure of victory.

To be able to make Hagi Sakumo make such an evaluation, Hippo Hanyu is already quite not simple, in the entire Konoha, Hagi Sakumo is already equivalent to the existence of the three ninjas, and the target he wants to defeat the most is the third generation of Sarutobi Sasuke, who is known as the "strongest Hokage in history", which shows that his strength is already a shadow-level existence.

As one of the three bodies, Yoshino Shota is already a well-known ninja in the ninja world, and in Konoha, he is a terrifying all-round ninja whose strength is second to that of the three generations, the three ninjas, the White Fang, the purple sky, and the orange water. As for the hippo Hanyu who went to school, he was not just sleeping, he was practicing "Tianyi Jue" most of the time and was also practicing ninjutsu, what kind of ninjutsu was opened, it is still a secret, and the achievements of another doppelganger specializing in forbidden art research are also very mysterious, so although Qimu Shuomao has overestimated Hippo Hanyu, he is afraid that he still has not exhausted his full strength.

How strong is Hippo Hanyu, this is something that Hippo Hanyu himself wants to know, maybe in the near future, he will have the opportunity to prove his strength.

"Hanyu, your mother is looking for you." The teacher looked at Han Yudao, the hippopotamus who was seriously practicing the seal, and there seemed to be a trace of regret and sympathy in his eyes.

Hippo Hanyu didn't understand why he saw such a complicated look in the teacher's eyes, but there was no doubt that this was not a good thing, especially at this time, Tomoko Hippo would never come to disturb him, unless something big happened.

"Yu, your uncle he-, committed suicide." Tomoko's eyes were red, and it looked like she had already cried.

"What ???" Hippo Hanyu's face suddenly became very pale, how could this be, he was already very careful, how could he still let this matter happen, it is unforgivable!

The same scene was born in Konoha Hospital, and Yakushi Tenzen called out Shota Yoshino who was in the medicine shed and told him the bad news.

Shota Yoshino is calm, calm, but this calmness and calm are dead, "How can this be?" ”

"Shuo Mao went on a secret mission last time, but for some reason it failed, he was also injured, I originally asked him to stay in the hospital, but he refused, these days, his spirit has been bad, but I never thought that he would commit suicide." Tianshan knows the beginning and end of the matter, but by looking at his appearance, he knows that the truth cannot be obtained from him.

Within a day, the news of Hagi Shiroshige's death had spread throughout Konoha, but all outsiders knew was that Hagi Sao Shigeru died of serious injuries, and the people who really knew that he died by suicide were quite limited.

As the hero of Konoha Sakumo, his death did not get the treatment that heroes deserve, and there is even a kind of desolation of the hero's end.

Yoshino Shota, who had his hands in his sleeves, was expressionless, and Tenzen, who was walking with him, followed him with a wry smile and walked towards Hagi's house. Although the acquaintance who met Shota Yoshino wanted to go over and comfort him for a word or two, as soon as they saw his eyes, they couldn't help but retreat to the side.

There are still a lot of people who come to worship Hachiki Sakumo, but everyone is quite low-key, and they always feel that they are hiding from something, and they are a little timid when they see Shota Yoshino.

"Shota is here." The hall, which had been a little whispered, immediately fell silent, and people automatically gave way to it, and Shota Yoshino stopped walking as he looked at the three generations who were coming towards him.

"Zhengtai, I am also sorry for such a thing, you have to mourn." The third generation said sadly, at this moment he was also quite remorseful in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't change this fact if he said anything.

Yoshino Shota bypassed the three generations, walked to the spiritual seat of Hachiki Shiroshige, bowed deeply, and the hand that had been inserted in his sleeve was withdrawn at this moment, and with a slight shake, a scroll flew out and spread it on the coffin of Hagi Sage, and the scroll was strikingly written, "The greatness of life." ”

Kakashi cowered in the corner next to the coffin, his eyes numb, as if he had lost his soul, and his hand clutched a letter that, if I guessed correctly, was supposed to be the suicide note of Sakushige Hagi.

Yoshino Shota just glanced at Kakashi very coldly, and snatched the letter from his hand, yes, it was indeed a suicide note, "Ninjas don't have feelings, and following the rules is the most important thing." Shota Yoshino said softly, "Bullshit." Although his voice was already very soft, in the quiet hall, there was no doubt that it was like thunder reaching the ears of everyone present, and the faces of many people changed.

Ignoring the warning glances cast by some people, he walked straight in front of the blue beast in a green frog outfit, "If I'm not mistaken, this mission should have been carried out by you and the teacher, tell me what happened." ”

"I-" The blue beast lowered its head haughtily, and its mood was very complicated.

"I'll tell you about it later!" The deep voice of the third generation interrupted, "This matter has nothing to do with him, the deceased is gone, and the living should inherit the deceased's last wish and live a good life for Konoha tomorrow." ”

This kind of high-profile has no convincing power for Hippo Hanyu, but looking at Jiraiya and Steel Hands, who are about to rush over, he is silent, now is indeed not the time to investigate and calculate, but he will definitely get to the bottom of this matter.

"Hanyu, Kakashi, you two come with me." Hippo Hanyu suppressed the impulse in his heart and walked towards the inner room.

Hanyu Hippo glanced at his mother, Tomoko Hippo, then stood up and pulled Kakashi inside.

Yoshino Shota stopped in the courtyard where Kakashi usually practiced, turned his back to the two of them and said, "Leave the teacher's affairs to me, and I will ask them to give an explanation." However, as the nephew of the teacher, you must become an excellent ninja, and you must not lose the reputation of the teacher, if you can't inherit the teacher's wishes, then, just be an ordinary person, don't tell others that you are the nephew of Konoha White Fang, and never appear in the world of ninjas, otherwise, I will kill you with my own hands. ”

Of course, this was said to Kakashi Hagi, but in order to disguise his identity, it was necessary to pull Hanyu the hippo up. And when he said this, it was more like a warning to Hippo Hanyu, after all, Kakashi's excellent performance in the past six months or so is obvious to all.

"Kakashi, you have to take good care of your mother, not only you have lost your father, but your mother has also lost her husband, as the son of a teacher, you should be like a man, take care of your mother in place of your father, can you do it?" Shota Yoshino's voice was a little softer, and he looked at him with concern.

Kakashi, who had been silent, only then raised his face, which was already full of tears, and nodded heavily with a determined light in his stubborn eyes.

"Hanyu, I need you to take care of Kakashi in the future, you are the elder brother, and the teacher has great hopes for you, I believe you can do it." Shota Yoshino told as if he was explaining the future.

The funeral was carried out in a dreary and depressing, and Yoshino Shota left the Hagi family after explaining some things, along with Sanshinobi.

"Who?" Yoshino Shota quickly sensed that someone was following him, and although he didn't have the powerful blood heirs of the Uchiha clan or the omnidirectional vision of the Hyuga clan, his powerful spiritual sense allowed him to detect movements within a ten meter radius of him even when his eyes were closed.

"Hehe-, I really deserve to be the apprentice of Konoha White Fang, and I will appear so soon." A somber voice wafted through the night air.

"Orochimaru?" Yoshino Shota's brows furrowed, although he didn't hate Orochimaru, he definitely wouldn't like it. He is not one of those ordinary people who has not experienced the dangers of life, and he will not look at Orochimaru with that biased eye.

In his eyes, Orochimaru is a tragic hero, with unparalleled wisdom and madness that matches his wisdom, and he is not so much a careerist as a mad scientist, indulging in forbidden arts, pursuing the art of immortality that seems to never be achieved, and constantly giving up all restraints for this goal.

"What's the matter?" Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shota Yoshino is in a bad mood today, and it is very bad, so it is difficult to give Orochimaru a good look.

"I just wanted to remind you to be careful, someone is eyeing you." Orochimaru had a sinister smile on his pale face, and even if he was kind, it was hard to believe. However, Orochimaru didn't care if Shota Yoshino believed it or not, and left after saying that.

"Humph!" Yoshino Shota quickly understood what Orochimaru meant, but he wanted to provoke the existing conflict between him and the elder group, but even if he didn't remind him, he had the intention of falling out with them.

"Shota-" Soon after Orochimaru left, Jiraiya and Steel Hand appeared.

"Is that you?" Yoshino Shota secretly sighed in his heart that the tacit understanding of the three ninjas is really unusual!

"Can you sit down and talk?" It was Steel Hand who spoke, and she was entrusted by three generations to make it clear to Yoshino Shota about Hagi Shuo Shige, after all, the relationship between the two of them is quite special, and if Steel Hand comes forward, Yoshino Shota will give some face.

But apparently, the third generation didn't know much about Shota Yoshino, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well today, let's talk about something later!" ”
