<><><><><><>

Without the sternness he used to instruct Kakashi, the current Sakumo, no matter how many mistakes Kakashi made, would smile gently.

Moreover, every day, Sakumo Hatake would impart some seemingly profound but ambiguous wisdom to Kakashi.

Finally, on this afternoon, Sakumo taught Kakashi the entire content of the Hatake swordsmanship.

"Not bad, Kakashi. Don't forget it in the future. Go buy some meal today and celebrate."

Watching Kakashi, Sakumo smiled. Kakashi happily agreed to Sakumo Hatake's suggestion to buy a meal to celebrate.

Although rumors were still rampant outside, what did it matter?

Watching Kakashi's departing figure, Sakumo, who was smiling just a moment ago, gradually became serious.

Returning to his bedroom, Sakumo took out a piece of paper and slowly began to write something. As he put down the pen, Sakumo solemnly placed the letter in the most conspicuous position.

This letter was very important, representing not only Leaf Village's attitude towards Kakashi in the future but also whether his plan could be successfully implemented.

After doing all this, Sakumo walked slowly around the Hatake Clan's house. Looking at the time, it was almost time for Kakashi to return.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the wall in his bedroom, Sakumo had a letter written to Kakashi and Leaf Village on his right side. On his left side lay the short sword, White Fang.

After several days of preparation, he was ready. With White Fang drawn, chakra within Sakumo Hatake's body circulated peculiarly.

Splat~

Without any hesitation, White Fang held by Sakumo didn't, as in the past, go to the battlefield to kill enemies.

This time, the blade of White Fang pierced directly into his own owner's abdomen.

Instantly, a large amount of blood flowed out, but strangely, the wound that should have continued bleeding soon ceased to ooze fresh blood.

Although there was already a lot of blood on the ground, it wouldn't be fatal. With the short knife in his abdomen, Sakumo Hatake's eyes gradually closed, and his head sank low.

Finally, with no strength left in his entire body, he collapsed onto the floor.

.....

At this moment, Kakashi had just returned to the doorstep of his home. As he entered, an inexplicable feeling of unease swept over him, a sensation he had never experienced before.

Subconsciously, Kakashi called out for his father. However, there was no response. Simultaneously, a salty, metallic scent wafted in the air.

Having been on battlefields before, Kakashi knew well the smell of blood. But how could there be a smell of fresh blood at home?

Snap!

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Kakashi felt. The saury in his hands abruptly fell to the ground. 

Kakashi's hands trembled uncontrollably, and a ludicrous thought suddenly popped into his mind.

In a panic, Kakashi rushed towards Sakumo's room, hoping to prove that everything was just his imagination. 

However, as Kakashi got closer to Sakumo Hatake's room, the scent of blood grew stronger.

Finally, as the door opened, Kakashi saw only Sakumo Hatake lying in a pool of blood. At that moment, Kakashi's mind went blank.

"Dad!!"

Collapsing powerless to the ground, Kakashi shouted frantically. It seemed like fate was playing a cruel joke on him. 

Upon his return to the village, he was confronted with rumors and gossip.

And now, after a few days of gentle demeanor Father lay in a pool of blood. Kakashi's young heart couldn't bear the impact.

Swoosh!

With Kakashi's desperate cries, two Anbu Black Ops members appeared outside the room. Observing the scene inside, the two Anbu members stiffened.

'Lord Sakumo committed suicide!' Although they were ordered by the Hokage to monitor Sakumo's condition, it didn't mean they weren't concerned about Sakumo Hatake. 

As the head of the Anbu, Sakumo Hatake was a legendary figure in their eyes.

Sakumo Hatake's legendary experiences had been driving and inspiring them since they joined the Anbu. At this moment, regret filled their hearts.

Why didn't they pay more attention when Sakumo Hatake showed signs of being different? 

Why did they assume it was just because he had rested for so long and had finally relaxed?

Even if they had persuaded him a little, things might have turned out differently. Unfortunately, everything had already happened. 

As Anbu operatives, they couldn't let their emotions interfere with their mission.

The act of Sakumo's suicide had a massive impact, and they needed to report it to the Hokage immediately. 

The two glanced at each other, and one of them vanished from the spot in an instant.

.....

"What did you say? Sakumo committed suicide?!"

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked incredulously at the ANBU ninja standing before him.

"Yes, Lord Hokage. After hearing Kakashi Hatake's shout, we immediately rushed to the Hatake residence. At that time, Lord Sakumo... had no signs of life."

The ANBU ninja bowed and spoke to Hiruzen, his voice trembling.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to deflate like a balloon, and he slumped into the chair behind him, feeling powerless.

He had intended to suppress Sakumo's influence, but he never expected Sakumo to be so resolute.

He had chosen to take his own life!

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi regretted it. He had a chance to personally intervene, and now he had given another village a significant consequence!

"Sigh."

Taking a deep breath, Hiruzen Sarutobi composed himself. Although things had gone beyond his expectations, it was not the time to waste here.

He needed to handle Sakumo's affairs personally. Shakumo's identity destined that his aftermath required Hiruzen's direct involvement.

Moreover, ultimately, this situation also had its own mistakes.

"Let's go. Let's go see Sakumo. He's the hero of the village. This is the village's apology to Sakumo. We can't let his heart grow cold even after his death."

"Also, spread the word. Sakumo is the hero of the village, and from today onwards, no one is allowed to discuss Sakumo's mission failure."

(T/N: Focking Hypocrites)

After calming his emotions, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally pulled himself together, instructing the ANBU ninja.

Since Sakumo had already taken his own life, Hiruzen needed to pull himself together even more. He couldn't give the outsiders a chance to exploit the situation.

He had made a mistake, and now he had to put in more effort to make amends!
