Chapter 57: Shock
Three years later.
Tanokuni.
A heavily armed squad of ninjas is speeding forward.
Judging from their outfits and forehead guards, it is easy to see the identity of their Konoha dark part.
"Captain, why are you in such a hurry to get back to Konoha? We finally finished this escort mission, and we didn't rest for a few days. β
The man in black on the side rubbed his hair, and his face behind the mask was full of smiles.
"Kakashina kid is graduating soon, and I promised him before I left Konoha that I would rush back before his graduation ceremony."
It turned out that the man in black was none other than Qimu Shuohui, who was becoming more and more powerful.
At this time, he had just finished his mission in Tanokuni with his two old subordinates, "Xiang" and "Wei", and was on his way back to Konoha.
"Kakashi graduated? So fast? β
"Wei's" tone was full of surprise: "He seems to be only five years old, right?" Graduated from ninja school at such a young age! β
"Hey....... Captain, your Qimu family is really powerful, why are everyone genius ninjas? β
Elephant, who had been silent before, also spoke, apparently surprised that Kakashi had graduated from the ninja school at the age of five.
"Kakashi's own talentβit's okay, but I'm good at teaching!"
Hagi Shuohui shrugged his nose and began to brag about himself again: "After all, with my uncle, it's not hard for Kakashi not to be good." β
Listening to his boastful words, the two "Wei" and "Xiang" on the side couldn't help laughing.
Although Qimu Shuohui is their captain and the deputy minister of the dark department, he always likes to joke with people most of the time, so it is a blessing to be his subordinate.
After the joke, Qimu Shuohui stopped talking.
He deftly walked from tree to tree as he took another breath of fresh air.
Refreshing.
He is in a very good mood right now, and it seems that everything in his life is going in a good direction.
First of all, it is the rapid improvement of his strength.
In the past three years, in countless missions, Qimu Shuohui's ninjutsu strength and physical strength have broken through to the level of the shadow level, as long as he is given some more time, he will soon be able to raise all his strength to the shadow level, and when the time comes, he will get the mysterious reward of the system, and his strength can be improved to another level.
In addition to the increase in strength, his relationship with Orochimaru and Danzang is also in a delicate balance.
Hachiki Shuohui secretly provided them with several test subjects every month, and they also showed great gratitude to Hachiki Shuohui.
Of course, all this is based on the fact that it has not been discovered by the rest of the village.
If the East Window incident happened, Qimu Shuohui would not hesitate to dissociate himself from them.
As for the Uchiha clan...... Ever since Hachiki Shuohui returned, they had disappeared as if they had disappeared, and they had never come to trouble him again.
And Qimu Shuohui didn't bother to bother with them anymore, and the well water would not interfere with the river water in the future.
"Elephant, no, let's go faster!"
"Hmm."
The two bowed their heads slightly, and sped up to keep up with Qimu Shuohui's footsteps.
Konoha Village.
Hokage's office.
Sarutobi sat in his seat and smoked his pipe, his face cloudy, obviously something was bothering him.
"Nagano, is the situation still the same with White Fang?"
"Uh-huh....."
Ape Fei Nagano, who was standing on the side, sighed heavily: "There are many interests involved in this mission, so I will let White Fang carry it out, but ....... But no one expected it to fail......"
"Somaota...... He was also here to rescue his teammates, and he shouldn't have been left alone to bear so many blames. β
"We all understand this, but now everyone is angry, even...... Even the Nakashinobu named Hiroki, who was rescued by White Fang, was accusing him......."
Syllable!
Ape Feiri slammed his palm on the desk and said angrily: "Everyone can say that the white fang is not, how can Hiroki!" β
He stood up.
"I'm going to talk to White Fang at the Qimu Mansion, I can't let him be depressed like this anymore. At the beginning, he finally came out of his wife's sacrifice! β
"Father, don't go yet!"
Sarufei Nagano stopped Sarutobi Hiza: "I also went to look for him, but he kept locking himself in the room and didn't see anyone, even ....."
"Or even what?"
"Even lost the 'Hokage Half-Sleeve' that the village rewarded him with before......"
As he spoke, Sarutobi Nagano took out the Hokage's half-sleeve from behind him.
Once upon a time, this was considered by White Fang to be more important than life!
Ape Feiri sighed, and the color of regret was overflowing.
He knew that White Fang might have really been hit this time.
"How's Kakashi doing these days?"
"Father, Kakashi has been in the care of his adoptive father these days, but ...... But he seems to be graduating from the ninja school soon, and with White Fang's current state, I'm afraid he won't be able to go to Kakashi's graduation ceremony. β
"Alas...... This kid is also a good seedling of a ninja! β
Ape Fei Ri Chop suddenly thought of something, and his face changed: "What about Shuohui?" Didn't he go on a mission to the country of Tian and haven't come back yet? β
"Not yet," Sarutobi Nagano shook his head, "but it should be soon." β
"When the time comes, I'm afraid we'll have to pay attention to him. He will definitely be furious when he sees White Fang like this....."
Sarutobi continued to speak, a look of worry on his face.
"His temper is not the same as White Fang. Don't look at the fact that he usually giggles with anyone, but once he touches his bottom line, I'm afraid he won't buy anyone's account. β
"I understand my father, when he comes back, I will send two dark men to follow him."
"Don't follow him," Sarutobi shook his head, "I'm afraid that no one in Konoha can spy on him now, you can send someone to watch the team member who is on a mission with White Fang, especially the Shinobi named Hiroki." β
Sarufei Nagano thought thoughtfully for a moment, then got up and exited the office.
Sitting alone in the office, Sarutobi tapped his fingers on the table in annoyance, feeling anxious and uneasy.
Shuohui ....... This time, you have to be calm!
Qimu Mansion.
White Fang locked himself in the room, huddled in a corner.
No one could have imagined that the famous "Konoha White Fang" in the ninja world would have such a fragile time.
"Father, come out for some food! You haven't eaten in days! β
Kakashi...... You don't have to worry about me, you go to the ninja school. I'm fine, I just want to be quiet. β
"Yes..... But father, I don't worry about you....... Father! β
Kakashi shouted a few more times, but seeing that Hakufang ignored him, he had to leave lonely.
White Fang curled up and looked blankly at the forehead guard he held in his hand.
Suddenly, he found that the faith and forbearance that had supported him for many years had actually been shattered.
I've always fought to protect the people I care about, to fight for my companions, but now.......
Why did even my companion accuse me of abandoning my mission to save him?
Don't...... Am I really wrong all along?
My Beliefs...... My ninja ...... Are they all wrong?
White Fang only felt a sharp pain in his heart, and suddenly remembered his long-lost wife.......
Keiko...... I'm really miserable...... I can't hold on anymore......
I miss you so much........
Kakashi ...... I'm sorry.......
Shuohui ....... I'm sorry........
Two lines of tears poured out of White Fang's eyes, and he seemed to have finally made up his mind.
I'm sorry!
White Fang stood up.
He found a piece of paper, bit his finger, and wrote down a line.
I'm sorry, Shuo Hui....... I'm the sinner of the village, help me take care of Kakashi.
With that, he smiled sadly, and pulled out the dagger from behind him that terrified all Konoha enemies.
I've been with me for so long, and in the end, I'll let you give me a ride!
With a fierce swing of the knife, a pool of blood instantly splashed from White Fang's neck, and the blood poured out.
He slowly fell to the ground, his eyes still not closed.
It's just that he has lost his life at this time, and there are tears in his eyes.
The legend of Konoha - "Konoha White Fang" Qimu Shuomao came to an end......
