Pirate: If you are immortal, I will first fill up the overlord color.

Chapter 481 White Fang is missing

Uchiha Madara!

Hatake Sakumo didn't know much about the story of such a legendary character.

Today was the first time he heard it.

Xia Le's words relaxed the tight string in his heart, but at the same time, the words that followed made him feel heavier again.

The failure of the mission and the opposition of his friends are about to break his originally strong heart.

The enemy cannot defeat him in terms of strength, but the coldness of his friends and colleagues around him will make him collapse.

In a daze, Sakumo seemed to feel that he had been abandoned by the world. The friends and companions who once stood together were now standing on the opposite side.

This is an indescribable feeling that can make people feel scared and frightened.

What should he do?

Xia Le stared at the other person quietly, and could clearly feel the hesitation and confusion in Shuomao's heart at this moment.

His thinking was unknowingly brought to another dimension and he began to think new.

On one side were Danzo, who was expressionless, Mito Kadobu, and Koharu who were sleeping next to each other.

Hearing this, Xia Le was silent at first, then chuckled.

Inside the venue, there was a lot of noise and discussion.

He slowly stood up and prepared to leave.

"And I am a good friend who is firmly on your side!"

Don’t indulge anyone, don’t submit to anyone’s will?

That is, follow my wishes!

After just a quick glance, Xia Le closed his eyes.

The Third Hokage was wearing a bamboo hat and had a smoking pot in his mouth. His face buried behind the bamboo hat could not be seen clearly as the smoke filled the air.

Sakumo raised his head and looked at him confused.

"so!"

Opposite Uchiha was the Hyuga clan. Looking further, the three members of the Ino, Deer, and Butterfly clans were also sitting there quietly.

He was really confused and didn't know what to do, so he asked urgently and anxiously.

Sakumo was stunned, and soon he asked: "What about now?"

The casual and decisive words left Sakumo stunned for a moment.

Cold words mixed with anger came from his mouth.
-

The meeting regarding Hatake Sakumo was held in the Hokage Building.

He scanned the whole place and found that almost all the wealthy families in Konoha, large and small, were here.

When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.

"Life is like this. No matter what choice you make, you will regret it later."

The conference room is not small and can accommodate more than a hundred people.

Fugaku waved to him, Xia Le nodded and walked over to sit next to him.

When Xia Le arrived, almost all the important people in the village were already there.

"Do you want to force me to death?"

Xia Le stepped outside and walked outside.

Then.

"I would make the same choice as you!"

The other party did not respond directly, but he had already given him the answer.

Time passed, and figures arrived one after another, and then found their positions, some sitting and some standing.

Sakumo murmured.

"Why exactly?"

"Sakumo, this is a crucial moment in your life."

Such confusion and panic should not appear in a strong man like him.

"How you choose can only depend on you!"

He knew very well that the business had not yet begun at this moment.

"Put yourself in my current situation, how would you choose?"

"What do I want?"

"I never spoil anyone!"

"But no matter what, you have to remember."

"I put myself in the situation you faced and came to the conclusion."

Gradually, White Fang, who calmed down, began to realize that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the village since he returned to the village.

"Elder Xia Le!"

This ranking is obviously related to the family's status and strength in Konoha.

In the end, there were about fifty people in the conference room. Obviously, just the main members of each family.

"Cough cough!"

The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was sitting on the main seat and suddenly made a sound.

Everyone immediately fell silent and looked at the man who was in his prime.

"Now that we're almost here, let's start the meeting!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

"Concerning White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, and the failure of the mission, you can express your opinions."

His words made everyone present's eyes flash slightly.

But for a moment, no one spoke.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, then relaxed his brows, and said with a faint smile: "Just now, didn't you guys have a very heated discussion?"

"Why is it misfiring again now?"

His rhetorical question made the atmosphere on the scene rise again.

"Lord Hokage!"

"The mistake White Fang made is unforgivable. The village suffered huge losses because of his impulsiveness!"

"This matter must not be let go easily!"

A jounin with a scar on his face shouted sharply.

"Yes, when a ninja performs a mission, the success of the mission must be the first priority. For this kind of thing, everyone involved in the mission has been prepared to dedicate himself and give his life!"

"If everyone were like White Fang, wouldn't Konoha be in chaos!"

"He must pay for this!"

Another ninja said.

"The mistake he made is undoubtedly fatal. I suggest that he be deprived of his ninja status and imprisoned first!"

As soon as such words came out, some people present changed their colors slightly and frowned.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also raised his head and narrowed his eyes.

Obviously, many people felt that this punishment was too harsh for White Fang.

But he didn't say anything to stop it for the time being.

Konoha suffered losses due to the failure of White Fang's mission. In this case, many people will have opinions in their hearts and need to vent them.

Because of one person's failure, making everyone in the village share the responsibility will naturally lead to everyone pointing the finger at one person.

This kind of thing cannot be avoided at all.

"Perhaps we should ask White Fang and the team involved in the mission to come out and tell the story clearly."

“Then, based on the fault, penalties will be imposed.”

someone said.

"It has become obvious that White Fang's dereliction of duty has caused great harm to existence."

"The mission he performed this time is top secret."

"Handing it into his hands also represents the village's trust in him, but unfortunately, he disappointed us!"

Danzo sighed, shook his head and said.

"White Fang's dereliction of duty is beyond doubt!"

Xiaochun said after turning to bed.

Mito Kadoyan saw everyone present attacking White Fang, he hesitated to speak, but in the end he sighed without saying anything and fell into silence.

"No matter what, he is no longer suitable to be a ninja!"

After turning to bed, Xiaochun said again.

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, listened to what everyone was saying, lit the pot with a hiss, and took a puff of the cigarette without making any comments.

"White Fang should be put to death!"

"He doesn't deserve to be a ninja at all."

"Even the guy he was rescued from expressed displeasure with his behavior."

"There is no doubt that he made fatal mistakes in the execution of his mission."

One voice after another kept coming out.

Everyone was expressing their dissatisfaction with White Fang, and the small conference room was filled with an atmosphere of depression and anger.

There was smoke surrounding Sarutobi Hiruzen, and his expression could not be seen clearly under his bamboo hat. No one knew what the Hokage was thinking at this moment. When Danzo saw this scene, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Mito Kadoyan's expression changed, and he seemed to have some unbearable eyes.

suddenly.

"Pfft!"

A small but clear sneer came out, overwhelming the voices of everyone present.

"White Fang was indeed wrong!"

The brief words made everyone's eyes focus on the person who spoke.

"Uchiha Charlot!"

"Black Flash, the strongest man in Uchiha!"

"He even expressed his opinion!"

Many people were nervous, and the conference room became quiet, and no one spoke anymore.

In just this moment, Xia Le's prestige in Konoha was clearly demonstrated.

Once he spoke, no one spoke.

Danzo frowned and his eyes were cold when he saw this scene.

"His fault is that he saved an ungrateful white-eyed wolf!"

Xia Le said lightly.

Then, his eyes scanned everyone.

"Konoha White Fang, this name is famous even in the entire ninja world, and is respected by countless people."

"Only in this village, at this very moment, we are suffering unwarranted accusations and attacks from some people."

"He gave up the mission, but it doesn't mean that the sweat and blood he shed for Konoha are gone."

"You seem to have forgotten that he is also a man who has shed blood and sweat for this village!"

"Similarly, besides being a ninja, he is also a human being and has friends and relatives!"

"The mission is indeed important, but in White Fang's heart, human life seems to be more dazzling."

Having said this, Xia Le paused slightly.

"He has a sparkle that you don't have."

"Such a flash of light also despises your hearts."

He stood up suddenly, a contemptuous sneer appearing on his face.

"Thank you. This brief meeting made me realize that while there are good people in human beings, there are also disgusting ones like rats in the sewer."

Without saying a word, Xia Le turned around and left without stopping at all.

Fugaku frowned and stood up to follow.

"Uchiha Sharaku, what do you mean?"

"Is it not us who are at fault? White Fang failed in the mission and committed a ninja taboo. This is a bad deed that cannot be washed away!"

"This is an irrefutable fact!"

Danzo stood up suddenly and shouted loudly.

But Xia Le just sneered and pushed the door open without bothering to answer.

The expressions of those present changed, and they fell into silence for a while.

While White Fang made mistakes, he also made great military exploits for Konoha, which cannot be washed away either.

But why did the scene become what it is today?

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the main seat, frowning tightly, smoking cigarettes one after another, and barely said a word from beginning to end.

The meeting ended after a few moments.

This meeting for Hatake Sakumo didn't decide anything. But in a certain sense, it dominated Konoha's subsequent public opinion.

Xia Le, who left first, did not cause much of a stir with his words that silenced everyone, and even due to some special factors, it did not spread outside the meeting at all.

In the next few days, public opinion in the village became even more exaggerated.

On the third day, some civilians even threw stones and eggs at Shuomao's home, and yelled at him for his stupid behavior.

On the fourth day, someone wrote in crooked handwriting on the door and wall of Shuomao's house, words that deserved death.

On the fifth day, a crowd gathered in front of his house, singing loud slogans and asking Sakumo to confess.

The once famous Konoha White Fang's reputation was ruined in an instant.

Hokage Building.

"Is this too much? Danzo!"

"Xia Le is not wrong, he has also paid blood and sweat for Konoha!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and gritted his teeth.

"If you want to do it, don't hesitate."

"If you want to completely control Konoha, you can't allow too strong people to appear in the village."

Danzo said coldly.

"but!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke.

"Hiruzhan, don't be too hypocritical!"

"You should know better than me who I am doing everything for!"

Danzo said coldly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent.

"White Fang is just a test subject. His relationship with Xia Le is no secret in the village!"

"If the Uchiha clan really attacks the village in the future, who do you think White Fang will help?"

"Instead of fighting each other at that time, it is better to take action now and eliminate the helpers around Xia Le!"

Danzo said coldly.

"But!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

"Next step, I will order the Root Team to find the right time to help you eliminate Uchiha's obstacles!"

"Only in this way can you and I be able to completely control Konoha."

At this point, Danzo took a deep breath.

"I'll do the dirty things you don't want to do for you!"

"I am willing to be the darkness in Konoha!"

"in addition!"

After a pause, Danzo sneered again.

"My cooperation with Orochimaru is already planned for the second step."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled, and then his expression suddenly changed: "Human experiments are never allowed!"

"you are too naive!"

"If Mu Dun is really allowed to reappear in the world, don't you know how much it means to Konoha?"

"Moreover, now I want to face the increasingly powerful Uchiha."

"There is only one way to escape!"

Danzo sneered.

"Or is it you or me who is confident of defeating Uchiha's two Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked even more anxiously, his expression changed, and his face was already extremely solemn.

Things have developed to this point, and the threat of Uchiha has become apparent.

Moreover, as the Third Hokage, he was extremely sure that the other party would not be willing to be lonely.

"What will become of White Fang?"

After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and asked.

"do not know!"

"But after this incident, he will no longer be a threat."

Danzo said confidently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent again.

He was a little reluctant to give up, but he knew very well that this was a power struggle, an inevitable political struggle that no one could avoid.

If today's measures are not tough, there may be even greater disasters in the future.

No one knows about the conversation between the two.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than ten days since Bai Ya returned to the village.

On this day, the ninjas in the village felt strange because White Fang had not shown up for nearly half a month.

Out of curiosity, someone pushed open the door.

Then, the scene that caught their eyes made them startled.

On the stone table in the courtyard, except for a forehead protector and neatly stacked Konoha Jounin uniforms, there was nothing else!

White Fang, gone.
