Hatake Sakumo was a ninja with a strong sense of separation. In terms of strength, he could be said to have shocked the ninja world during his active period. However, his final outcome was suicide, and he committed suicide while having a wife and children at home...
So, just like the genius who was stabbed to death by a tree branch, Hatake Sakumo's death clearly had a plot-driven feel.
On the one hand, Hanyu invited Hatake Sakumo because he valued his ability, and on the other hand, it was also a way to keep an eye on him... As one of the first people Hanyu met in Konoha, he didn't want him to die in vain.
As for Hanyu's relationship with Hatake Sakumo, the latter was a ninja who was very good at chopping people, and his strength was improving rapidly. He was extremely active on the battlefield, so it was hard to imagine that such a person would commit suicide simply because he could not bear the pressure of slander.
He could cut other people's necks in a sea of blood and corpses, but he cut his own neck after being scolded... Isn't it a bit too funny? Maybe the overall environment of Konoha was very harsh on Hatake Sakumo at that time, but it still didn't make sense.
Then can it be done this way? When dealing with Hatake Sakumo, the enemy can adopt some more tactful strategies, such as running to the front of Konoha's formation every day and shouting "Konoha White Fang, you XXXX", and then this ruthless guy may sooner or later perform a throat-cutting show for everyone.
In any case, there must be some unknowns in the "death of Hatake", and this unknown may no longer be clear, but if he is under Hanyu's nose... no one can guarantee that Hatake will not die, but his death will only be a battle death.
Hanyu had to at least teach Sakumo a simple truth... "What does Hatake Sakumo have to do with you scolding Konoha White Fang?"
We still need to be more open-minded in life. It is best to develop a two-faced person, then we will be fearless.
After dealing with Sakumo, Hanyu will be heading to the Land of Whirlpools in the next few days.
This trip is naturally for the Uzumaki clan's migration plan, so Uzumaki Mito will also follow along.
However, according to the plan, the number of participants in this mission was relatively small, and the size of the entire team was very limited. In addition to Hanyu, Uzumaki Mito, Hatake Sakumo and Mito's maid Shiko, there was only a team of Anbu ninjas.
Although the war was over and the ninja world had entered a period of peace, the Jinchuriki was accompanied by only seven people when he left the village... Well, firstly, there were no poachers in the world who specifically targeted the tailed beasts, and secondly, Mito's own strength was enough to deal with any unexpected situations.
Early that morning, the team gathered together, and then they left Konoha without alerting anyone and began to move towards the Land of Whirlpools.
"Mito-sama, if there is a very special surveillance, can we find it?"
After leaving Konoha, the team formed up. Hatake Sakumo was the youngest, but he was at the front of the team. The rest of the people guarded Uzumaki Mito in the center from all sides.
After moving for a distance, Hanyu asked Uzumaki Mito this.
"It shouldn't be possible for someone to monitor the team without us noticing. After all, in this team, not only am I a perception ninja, but Shiko is the same. Under such double alert, if someone tries to monitor us, they will only be counter-monitored first... What's up, Hanyu, did you notice anything?"
Uzumaki Mito didn't notice anything unusual around her, but since Hanyu asked such a question, she naturally thought that he had noticed something.
Hanyu shook his head, "No problem, Mito-sama, I just wanted to confirm."
"…"
Uzumaki Mito shook her head. Considering her identity, she thought that Hanyu was just too vigilant and even a little nervous.
She didn't know that Hanyu was actually worried about something else , and it couldn't be said that he was being paranoid.
Hanyu wondered, if someone like Uzumaki Mito started to move, would she attract the attention of Uchiha Madara? Although when the First Hokage was alive, Uchiha Madara never defeated him once, and even if Uchiha Madara was combined with the Nine-Tails, he would be beaten into a younger brother by the First Hokage's Wood Release Senjutsu, but the problem was that there was no First Hokage now.
With Uzumaki Mito's power, Uchiha Madara is almost the only person who can pose an absolute threat to her. But the good news is that Madara should be living in hiding now. In order not to be discovered for faking his death, he should not show up on his own initiative under normal circumstances, let alone show up in front of Uzumaki Mito... Unless he is sure of killing Uzumaki Mito and his group instantly, Madara will definitely not reveal his whereabouts.
So the question is, can Uchiha Madara do this?
It doesn't seem to work.
The fusion of the first generation's power, the awakening of the Rinnegan, the theft of the Outer Path Demon Statue, the appearance and activity of Zetsu, these should all have happened after Uchiha Madara was quite old. When his eye power developed to its limit, his physical abilities and chakra had aged to the point where they could not keep up.
For Uchiha Madara now, he doesn't even have the ability to monitor the situation in Konoha, and he doesn't even have the intention to monitor it.
Therefore, although Hanyu was vigilant along the way, the group arrived at the eastern coast of the Land of Fire without anything happening.
"Mito-sama, the Uzumaki clan is waiting for us."
Soon, Sakumo, who was in the front, returned to Uzumaki Mito and brought the news that the Uzumaki clan was waiting in front to welcome the Konoha group.
Uzumaki Mito nodded and walked to the front of the team. This was actually something she could sense without having to report it.
The scattered formation of the Konoha ninjas began to shrink, and finally everyone gathered together again.
Uzumaki Mito walked in front, with the Uzumaki clan member Shiko one body length behind her, and behind them were the six ninjas of Konoha.
"Mito-sama, welcome back."
The Uzumaki clan that came to greet Uzumaki Mito had a team of about the same number of people as that of Konoha. And when Uzumaki Mito came over, an elder-like figure who was the leader of the Uzumaki clan team spoke first.
"Um."
Uzumaki Mito just nodded slightly, and then she walked across the land and the beach step by step, and even passed the Uzumaki group and stepped onto the sea with surging water.
Her actions seemed somewhat...impatient.
Without caring about the reactions of the people around him, Uzumaki Mito cast his gaze into the distance. In that direction, behind the line where the water and the sky meet, is the Land of Whirlpools.
Uzumaki Mito hasn't been back here for a long time.
She got married, became a Jinchūriki, had a child, founded the Hidden Leaf Village, her husband died, the Ninja World War broke out, the younger generation grew up, her daughter... died, and the Ninja World was pacified.
In front of us is Uzumaki Mito's hometown, but everything and the people have changed.
In terms of age, Uzumaki Mito is not too old now, but her mood is so desolate.
"Let's go."
Mito Uzumaki walked step by step on the sea, and the sound of ripples echoed the natural waves, like an aria, one after another, and then echoed endlessly.
That is the aria of life.
And then, Uzumaki Mito's long hair, which had lost its color, gradually turned as red as blood again.
It is much brighter red than all the Uzumaki, present or absent.
There is an endless sea beneath your feet, and above the sea is a fire that never goes out.
This sudden burst of huge chakra made Hanyu feel like his breathing was stagnant. Uzumaki Mito's chakra could make the Hidden Mist Village across the sea instantly feel that their village was suddenly sitting on the crater of a volcano that was about to erupt.
She lost her husband, her daughter, and countless other things, but Uzumaki Mito still exists. She is still the backbone of Konoha and the Fire Country, of this world and this era.
It's not her time to leave yet.
She has returned home.
