Madara, let's change the world together!

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, seeing Tsunade's accusatory look, took a puff of his pipe and exhaled a long plume of white smoke.

"Tsunade, I'm investigating this matter."

Be patient.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi received the news that Tsunade's hemophobia had probably been cured, he didn't do anything. He just showed others that he wouldn't care what Tsunade wanted to do.

This was the first time Tsunade had come to his office in a year.

"Old man, even if a classified mission fails, it is absolutely impossible to reveal it to ordinary people."

"The person who leaked the information must have known the actual situation of the mission!"

Tsunade slammed her hands on the table and eagerly expressed her opinion.

I've known Sakumo Hatake for a while now, and we're practically friends. How could I not do something about something like this?

"I know!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was somewhat forceful.

That's why it needs time!

"Tsunade, go back. I will handle this matter as soon as possible."

Tsunade gritted her teeth, said nothing more, and stormed off in anger.

"Bang!!!"

The wooden door and its frame were smashed open and developed many cracks the moment they were closed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.

He knew, of course, who did it: his childhood friend, Danzo Shimura, who had voluntarily become the darkness of Konoha.

However, as they aged and their governing philosophies diverged, Shimura Danzo began to covet his position as Hokage.

Danzo now sees anyone who might contend for the next Hokage position as a thorn in his side.

After Sakumo Hatake made a mistake in the rules, he couldn't wait to manipulate public opinion in the village.

"Ugh"

Out of consideration for their decades-long relationship, he didn't want to take action against Danzo over something like this.

Hopefully, Orochimaru, whom he sent to monitor Danzo, will be of some use.

"okay, I get it."

"I will get there as quickly as possible."

In the Land of Water, at the Great Castle, Kiyoi Gen hung up the phone and then looked at Aino, who was huddled in the corner.

"Aino, what's going on?"

"Goo?"

Aino remembered that she had received a message from a shadow clone the day before yesterday, and she had just received another one.

It was just that Kiyoi Gen's embrace was so comfortable that he forgot to say it.

How should this be explained?

Seeing Aino's expression, Kiyoi Gen knew that the other party definitely didn't take this matter too seriously.

"You are forbidden to come near me for three days as punishment."

"what?!"

Aino let out a sound of horror and despair.

"Bai Miao, I'm leaving this place to you for now."

"Feng Sha, let's go to Konoha!"

Kiyoi walked straight to the door, leaving Aino lying on the ground in a side-lying position.

"Yuan! Don't leave me!"

"I was wrong!!!"

This incident had a huge impact on Kakashi and his friends.

For five whole days, none of the three of them went to the ninja academy; instead, they took leave.

Kakashi was cooking for his father at home, and Kurenai and Shizune had no interest in going to school.

In any case, the content of the class seemed very simple to them.

To the surprise of all of them...

Five days later, the criticism of Sakumo Hatake has not stopped, but has instead become even more intense.

Even the companion who was saved by Sakumo Hatake publicly criticized Hatake in the plaza, saying he shouldn't have saved him but should have gone to complete his mission instead.

This is the ninja's mission!

Afterwards, Tsunade went to the Hokage's office again, caused a huge scene, and broke the Hokage's desk in two.

The matter remained unresolved, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's conciliatory manner infuriated her.

But she had no choice. Hiruzen Sarutobi was her teacher and the Hokage. What else could she do besides throw a tantrum?

Having failed once again, Tsunade felt too ashamed to face Shizune and Kurenai.

Even though it's Tsunade from Konoha, they can't even find the source of the problem.

While drinking alone in an izakaya, she had a feeling that Konoha was becoming unfamiliar.

Jiraiya went on a journey.

Orochimaru heard that he went on a secret mission.

A distance had grown between Sarutobi-sensei and her, and things were no longer the same.

So much has changed in Konoha since she became so despondent.

Even a hero from World War II could be slandered by the entire village.

Even if this mission fails, aren't the hero's achievements enough to offset a single failure?!

"Oh!"

"Boss! Bring the drinks!"

The izakaya owner walked into the private room with a wry smile.

"Lady Tsunade, we've used up our quota for today."

Tsunade looked at the three empty bottles on the table and could only wave her hand.

"understood."

If I go home, I can take any wine from the storage room, but if I just go back like this...

She thought of Shizune and Kurenai, who were waiting for her at home.

I don't want to disappoint them.

While Tsunade was debating whether to go back now, Kakashi was doing his best to comfort his father.

"Dad, I'm going to prepare dinner."

"You really don't need to worry about what's going on outside."

Kakashi knocked gently on the door, and only felt relieved after hearing a "hmm" from inside.

Uncle Yuan mentioned in his book that when a person feels helpless, they should be made to know that someone cares about them, so as to help them get through it.

So, in the past few days, Kakashi has transformed into a warm-hearted man, shedding his dishonest side and taking the initiative to do chores such as cooking, and even skipping his training sessions.

Aside from going out to buy groceries, he almost never leaves home, staying inside so that his father, who is confined to the house, can feel his presence.

But

"Konoha's hero has become a coward!"

Even your own teammates are criticizing you!

"Boom!"

Some stones hit the windows of the Hatake family.

!!!

asshole!!!

Kakashi was so angry that his face contorted with rage that he grabbed a kitchen knife and leaped out of the room.

It's those same bunch of brats again!

"It's the bear's son!"

"He's got a kitchen knife! Run!"

Kakashi was furious and threw down the kitchen knife to chase after them.

Six children his age were instantly knocked to the ground and lay on the grass.

"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!"

Kakashi rode on the back of the little brat who always came to throw stones, and punched him in the face again and again.

His eyes were wide open and bloodshot.

These bastards come every day and even tell his father about what's going on outside.

why!

Why is there always a group of people who enjoy seeing heroes overthrown in a single day, even trampled into the dust?!

"Go to hell!"

"Snapped!"
