Naruto: The Witness System

Hearing the meeting between Sakumo Hatake and the other Jonin, Yasu guessed that this mission was the one that would lead Sakumo to commit suicide.

Because as the leader of the Konoha ninjas in the Land of Grass, Sakumo's responsibility was to arrange troops and preside over the overall situation.

In the stable situation of the Land of Grass, there was no need for him to personally lead the team to carry out missions.

But now, intercepting the Rock ninjas' scroll was personally led by Sakumo Hatake, then it was very likely to be this mission.

Moreover, this mission was indeed quite important.

If the Rock ninjas' scroll did contain the plan for the subsequent strategy, then if Konoha obtained this scroll, it would have a very large impact on the upcoming war.

At that time, Sakumo clearly had the opportunity to obtain the scroll, but lost this opportunity because of saving his companions, he would definitely be dissatisfied by the higher-ups of Konoha.

However, Yasu was very curious, who would leak this secret, making Sakumo Hatake the target of verbal criticism from everyone in Konoha.

Even the insidious and cunning Danzo would not do such a stupid thing at this time, right?

Although Danzo used all means to achieve his goals, it must be said that this guy Danzo was still very loyal to Konoha.

And Sakumo was so important to the current Konoha, Danzo must be very clear about this.

At this critical juncture, abolishing the Konoha's White Fang, who was comparable to the Sannin, would be harmful and not beneficial to Konoha and Danzo himself.

After all, if Konoha was gone, no matter how unscrupulous Danzo was, it would be useless.

But all of this had nothing to do with him, he just needed to be a spectator, watch the events unfold, and get the witness points.

Just as he was indifferently listening to the content of the meeting, Sakumo suddenly looked at him.

"Yasu, your mobility is very strong, are you interested in carrying out this mission with me?"

Yasu frowned.

He was just watching the show, and had no intention of wading into this muddy water.

Moreover, if he entered into this muddy water, then it was very likely that he would no longer be able to make Kakashi his true companion.

After all, the idiot who was saved by Sakumo would accuse his saver somehow.

The other teammates would definitely be the same.

Even if Yasu didn't do this, in the eyes of others, he would definitely be counted in.

At that time, even if he didn't accuse Sakumo, they would think that he must have participated in the accusation.

So, Yasu absolutely couldn't participate in this mission.

He politely refused: "Sorry, Lord Sakumo, recently I have an important stage in developing a jutsu, the main reason for returning to the garrison this time is to be able to develop this jutsu with peace of mind."

"Moreover, Teacher Orochimaru will recently send a summoning beast to notify me of some things, although I am looking forward to being able to carry out missions with Lord Sakumo, but this time I cannot act much."

Sakumo nodded.

Although Yasu came to the land of Grass to support, Sakumo, who thought that he had a special mission, did not regard him as his subordinate.

So, Yasu said that he wanted to develop a new jutsu, and Orochimaru might contact him making unable to participate in this mission, Sakumo didn't force it.

The reason why he made this invitation was indeed because Yasu's strength was sufficient.

At the same time, this mission was very meritorious, and if Yasu participated, he could also get a share of the credit.

After all, Yasu was now the teacher of his son Kakashi, and he would help if he could.

But since he refused, there was nothing he could do.

Sakumo finally said: "Then it's settled, I will lead the team, the three of you will act with me, and then let a sensory ninja act with us, we will set off in an hour. During the time I am away, Shinsuke, you will be in charge of leadership and dispatch, this mission is a secret mission, it is enough for only a few of us to know!"

This Shinsuke was also a member of the Nara clan, with the iconic pineapple head.

After the meeting, Sakumo said to Yasu: "Thank you for your hard work during this time, thanks to you for finding a large number of hidden strongholds of Rock ninjas, I really didn't expect that group of rock ninjas to have so many hidden strongholds. If the war really breaks out in full swing, these hidden strongholds are likely to cause us heavy losses."

Yasu said modestly: "This was originally my mission, it is my duty to complete it."

Sakumo squeezed out an ugly smile and said: "I saw Kakashi last time, he has become much stronger, it is his luck to be able to be your disciple, I will trouble you a lot next, I am going to carry out the mission next, Yasu, you can rest well in the garrison."

Yasu nodded: "Yes, Lord Sakumo, you can rest assured about Kakashi."

He then left the room and met Kakashi who was waiting at the door.

Kakashi asked: "Teacher Yasu, is the meeting over?"

Yasu looked at Kakashi with a strange look, and nodded: "Yes, it's over, you can go in to see your father."

"Okay."

Kakashi entered the room.

Yasu let out a sigh of relief, after this mission, the pattern of the Konoha side in the land of Grass was about to change.

The lack of a strong ninja sitting in the top was equivalent to the lack of a backbone, and problems could easily arise.

During the time Sakumo went to his mission, Yasu did not intend to continue searching, to see how things would go.

Although he was a little sorry for Kakashi, knowing that Sakumo would have an accident, he couldn't change anything.

Sakumo Hatake, who had a deep belief in the Will of Fire, would definitely not abandon this mission or give up rescuing his companions just because of his one-sided words.

He might even be hostile to him.

So, standing by was the only thing he could do.

Sakumo had already set off quietly with four ninjas.

Except for a limited number of people who knew, no one else knew that Sakumo had personally gone to carry out the mission.

Yasu came to his room in the garrison and took out the map that had been marked with many crosses.

He planned to take advantage of this time to check the map and see if there was anything missing, so that he could go directly to search next time.

Time passed quickly.

It had been a week since Sakumo left the garrison to carry out the mission.

During these seven days, the garrison was presided over by Nara Shinsuke, and nothing happened.

In addition to his own training, Yasu spent these few days teaching Kakashi.

This night.

Sakumo Hatake, who was out on a mission, came back.

There were five people when they left, and there were five people when they came back.

All five were injured, one of them had his right arm missing, and his legs were bloody, it looked like he had been blown off by an explosive tag or something.

As soon as he returned to the garrison, Sakumo immediately shouted for medical ninjas.

Yasu leaned against the shadow of the wall, watching the development of the situation.

Now he could be completely sure that this incident was the incident that induced Sakumo to commit suicide.
