Saiyans in the Naruto world

"You're back."

Hearing the commotion before him, Sakumo Hatake opened his eyes, a flicker of life in them.

Carrot knelt down and said.

"I never imagined that even you, Father, had a task you couldn't complete."

"Isn't this normal? Ninja missions are always uncertain."

Sakumo Hatake's tone was flat, without the slightest ripple.

"Father, could you tell me about the whole mission?"

Carrot wasn't trying to rub salt into Hatake Sakumo's wounds, but rather to address the root cause of the problem—Hakemo Sakumo was acting strangely.

"The thing is like this..."

Sakumo Hatake explained the details of the mission bit by bit.

This mission failed, and Sakumo Hatake took all the blame upon himself. He felt responsible for the immense losses suffered by the village and considered himself a sinner. Coupled with the daily insults and hurling at him from the villagers, Sakumo Hatake even considered suicide to atone for his sins.

“Father, I once asked you whether the mission was more important or your comrades were more important. You told me without hesitation that your comrades were more important. You are the role model for me and Kakashi.”

"You chose to rescue your comrades instead of completing the mission this time. You were simply following your ninja way. What wrong have you done?"

"But……"

"There are no 'buts'. Do you think the rumors in the village will affect your ability to be a good ninja? Are you living by their opinions? Are you going to abandon me and Kakashi?"

Under a barrage of questions, Sakumo Hatake opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't utter a word.

"This is a conspiracy, a conspiracy against you, Hatake Sakumo."

"From the very beginning of the mission, you have walked into a huge conspiracy. Whether you complete the mission or abandon it, you will become a failure. If you complete the mission, you will be seen as someone who will stop at nothing to achieve it, and such a person will not be popular in the ninja system. And you have also seen the rescue of your comrades."

From Carrot's icy tone, Hatake Sakumo understood the whole story. He exuded a sharp killing intent, a stark contrast to his earlier dejection. This was the true White Fang of Konoha, a god of war on the battlefield.

"Why? Why are you doing this to me?"

Sakumo Hatake asked angrily, his terrifying aura filling the entire room, shattering all kinds of furniture with his power.

Kakashi, who was outside, heard the commotion inside and asked.

"what happen?"

As soon as he opened the door to come in, Carrot stopped him repeatedly.

"Kakashi, don't come in. Guard the door and don't let anyone in."

“Because you are too dazzling, Father. You are blocking other people’s way.”

"What? That's the reason."

"This is enough."

Sakumo Hatake looked utterly incredulous. He couldn't understand why someone would suffer such heavy losses just to frame him.

"In their eyes, this is politics; I'm willing to sacrifice everything to get what I want."

Sakumo Hatake's worldview has undergone fragmentation and reconstruction.

"Alright, I understand. You can go out now and let me have some peace and quiet."

Carrot's words greatly shocked Hatake Sakumo, and he needed to seriously consider his next steps.

"Okay, Father."

Carrot stood up, his hand reaching for the doorknob. Just as he was about to pull it open, he spoke to Sakumo Hatake, his back to him.

"I hope you make the right choice, otherwise I will not be responsible for any consequences."

Although Carrot made everything clear, a mature person doesn't easily change their mind. Carrot's final words were essentially a threat to Hatake Sakumo: "If your choice doesn't suit me, I will do something without considering the consequences."

"elder brother."

Upon seeing Karot emerge, Kakashi quickly went to greet him.

"Don't worry! Father will be fine. Just let him be by himself for a while. We'll spend more time with him during this period, and he'll get better."

"Okay, brother."

Kakashi nodded seriously.

"Third generation, Danzo, you'd better hope that your father is alright, otherwise the Yuan Fei clan and the Kimura clan will be buried with him."

After Kakashi left, Carrot's expression was very gloomy. He knew that Danzo was in charge of this matter and the Third Hokage was watching coldly. However, Carrot didn't care about any of that. If Hatake Sakumo got into trouble, Carrot would not let any of those involved go.

On the third day after Carrot returned home, Sakumo Hatake finally emerged from his room, looking as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders, appearing very relaxed. After greeting Carrot and Kakashi, he went to the Hokage Building and had a private conversation with Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi in the Hokage's office for an hour. No one knew what they were talking about.

All that is known is that the next day, Hatake Sakumo resigned, and Yuan Fei Rizan did not try to persuade him to stay.

Chapter 26 The war begins

The controversy surrounding Sakumo Hatake's resignation subsided after a week. The voices in the village regarding him were also silenced, as if they had never happened.

At this moment, Sakumo Hatake, who had just returned home after resigning from his post, knelt down in front of the tea table to boil water and brew tea. He was quite content.

"Father, your choice has really taken me by surprise."

After saying this, Carrot picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Good tea."

"You brat, how can you appreciate tea like this? How can you possibly taste the deliciousness of tea if you don't know how to drink it?"

“You’ve taken your father’s example. Everyone has their own methods. How do you know my method is wrong?”

His son's sophistry left Hatake Sakumo both amused and exasperated.

“You haven’t answered my question yet, Father.”

"Since I have to choose, I'll choose you and Kakashi."

Sakumo Hatake smiled and said. Not everyone has the courage to give up their current status, and for Sakumo Hatake now, family is more precious.

Time passed quietly, and then an unexpected piece of news shocked the entire ninja world. The Third Kazekage, hailed as the strongest Kazekage of all time, had mysteriously disappeared. Although the Sand Village tried its best to hide it, no secret can stay hidden forever. The Sand Village was full of spies from other countries, and naturally, the Sand Village would search for the Kazekage's disappearance, so the secret could no longer be kept.

The Land of Lightning's Raikage, A, upon hearing this information, sensed his opportunity had arrived. An opportunity for the Land of Lightning to dominate the ninja world—Konoha should relocate.

"War is about to begin"

Ai leaned back in his chair and said.

"Is this true, Lord Raikage? Are we going to start a war with the Sand Shadow?"

The advisor under his command said excitedly, "The Cloud Ninja have always loved war. War can plunder resources, and the Sand Shadows are weak. The advantage is on our side."

"Hmph, the mere Sand Village is beneath my notice. Not only Sand Village, but I will also declare war on Konoha and Iwa Village."

"what?"

The staff officer hadn't expected the Raikage to have such a big appetite.

"Lord Raikage, isn't this a bit too much for you? One against one, the Sand Village is no match for us. We have absolutely no need to offend Konoha and Iwagakure."

The advisor did his job by providing Raikage with his ideas for Raikage's reference.

"What's there to be afraid of? My Cloud Village has two perfect Jinchuriki. Dealing with other ninja villages is a piece of cake."

"Ai said arrogantly. The Hidden Cloud Village was the Raikage's domain, and soon the Raikage's orders were issued, and the Hidden Cloud Village's war machine began to operate."

The disappearance of the Third Kazekage has thrown the entire ninja world into turmoil. Small ninja villages want to profit from this huge pie, but they forget that there are only five standard-bearers, and the rest are just pawns.

The Land of Fire, Konoha Village, the Hokage's office.

"Hiruzen, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take over Sunagakure."

The war fanatic Kimura Danzo strongly suggested that waging war meant countless merits, which would be the stepping stone for him, Kimura Danzo, to become Hokage. Anyone who stood in his way should be killed.

This time he was well prepared and brought two other advisors with him, trying to persuade Yuan Feiri to commit suicide.

"Yes, Hiruzen, the war reparations from one ninja village are enough to benefit us."

Koharu Utatane chimed in, saying that Konoha could easily deal with the Sand Ninja. Since he didn't have to go to the battlefield himself, he could get benefits just by talking. Only a fool wouldn't do that.

Mitomon Homura didn't speak according to his mouth, but the fact that Danzo invited him to come and support him today speaks volumes about his intentions.

"Do you know how many ninjas will sacrifice themselves for the war once it starts, and how many families will lose their breadwinners? Do you know that?"

At present, Hiruzen Sarutobi is still the ninja bear of the ninja world, and has not yet become a political ruler.

"Some sacrifices are inevitable for the future of Konoha."

Danzo said firmly that it was less for the village and more for his own future.

Just as Hiruzen was about to try to persuade him, an ANBU member suddenly appeared in the Hokage's office and whispered a few words in Hiruzen's ear. Hiruzen's expression instantly turned incredulous.

"Hiruzen, what happened?"

A few words were enough to change Hiruzen Yuan Fei's expression instantly, which piqued Danzo Kimura's interest.

"The Third Shinobi World War has begun. The Hidden Cloud Village has declared war on us, the Hidden Sand Village, and the Hidden Stone Village."

"What? Which madman from the Cloud Ninja clan dares to do that?"

"He's waging war against three countries at the same time? Has he lost his mind?" Mitokado Homura said incredulously.
