Ninja: I'm really a support ninja

Chapter 17 Hatake Sakumo, who is physically and mentally exhausted.

Squeak.

With a soft bang, the bedroom door was opened, and Sakumo Hatake returned.

"Father, it's just sending one person off. Why did it take so long?"

Hatake Akira could already sit up, but he didn't look up while holding a book and studying.

"I just discussed some things with Nonoyu." Hatake Sakumo went to sit next to Hatake Akira, "Lie down first, let me put some ointment on you."

"I dare not use what she gave me." Akira Hatake closed the book with a snap, and looked at Sakumo Hatake solemnly, "Father, do you know her true identity?"

"Nanou?" Hatake Sakumo was stunned for a moment, "It's just a jōnin in the medical class, what special status can it have?"

"She is the most outstanding spy in the root!" Akira Hatake's face darkened, "Although this incident does not rule out accidents, it does not rule out the possibility of conspiracy."

Glancing at Akira Hatake, Sakumo Hatake lowered his head and thought for a while, then reached out and patted Akira Hatake on the shoulder.

"Ming, I know you're worried about me, but it's better not to talk about such groundless things in the future."

"But……"

"No, but!" Hatake Sakumo interrupted Hatake Akira, "Yaoshi Nonoyu did have some serious thoughts, but she didn't come here for me and the Hatake family, but to raise funds for the orphanage."

"Orphanage?" Akira Hatake was startled, and then asked Sakumo Hatake, "Then before she came, did you know her real identity, father?"

"I know a little bit..." Hatake Sakumo nodded, "Although I don't know much, I can tell that she worked in that department before."

"Then father..." Hatake Akira was a little impatient, "Why don't you be careful!"

"It's useless." Hatake Sakumo showed a tired face, "Ming, I know you are born smart and have helped me a lot before, but I still don't want you to be exposed to these dirty things."

"But we used to discuss it like this!" Akira Hatake was really anxious this time, "Father, what are you talking about at this time... Did you encounter something?"

"There is nothing special, but I feel tired..." Hatake Sakumo's mental state is not the same as before, "I am tired of this life..."

The father and son fell silent suddenly, and Akira Hatake realized the seriousness of the problem.

Hatake Sakumo is a very pure ninja. His belief has always been for Konoha, even if it is life and death.

But now he has become a candidate for the Hokage position... many things are out of his control, and he wants to change but can't.

He couldn't accept the current Konoha, and he also couldn't let go of his original intention. The internal intrigue made Hatake Sakumo slowly lose himself.

"Father, have you thought about the consequences of giving up now?" Hatake Akira asked in a deep voice.

"I've thought about it." Hatake Sakumo nodded, "The worst result is that I will bear it all alone, and it won't have much impact on you and Kakashi... Maybe even because of me, the third generation will be soft-hearted. Protect you and Kakashi."

Hearing what Hatake Sakumo said, Hatake Akira's heart sank to the bottom, and the last thing he wanted to see happened.

"Are you planning to give up?"

"Probably." Hatake Sakumo nodded, "After a while, I will resign from the third generation, and perform my various tasks with peace of mind. Konoha's future should be handed over to the younger generation."

Hatake Sakumo's words were full of powerlessness and depression, "With you in the Hatake family, the family and Kakashi don't need me to worry about it. Although it's a bit irresponsible, but..."

"No but!" Hatake stood up suddenly, "You can be cowardly, you can be disheartened, but please don't pin your future hopes on me and Kakashi! And... don't be so naive! "

How could such an excellent ninja, Sakumo Hatake, be tempered in the political struggle?

"I know that your current experience is different from what you imagined before. Even if you are disheartened now, please don't give up lightly at this time." Hatake Akira's words were a little soft, "Since father, you don't want to be in the whirlpool of politics. Struggling, then...let me do it."

Hatake Akira and Hatake Sakumo have been together day and night for more than six years, and they have basically figured out Hatake Sakumo's temper.

"Ming, do you want to..."

"I think it's very simple, even if you want to quit now, you have to find someone you like who can lead Konoha out of the quagmire of internal chaos.

I know you are afraid that if you fail, Kakashi and I will be implicated, but there are many things that don't mean that you can retreat if you want to. Even if you want to, you have to wait for the opportunity.

Obviously, now is not a good time, and there is no reason for you to quit, and it is even more impossible for the third generation to agree, unless..."

"Unless what?" Hatake Sakumo spoke quickly, which showed that he was really tired of the political strife within Konoha.

"You have done something wrong, and it is still an excusable thing but an unforgivable thing in terms of regulations..."

Akira Hatake thought of the incident that led to Sakumo Hatake's suicide. If Sakumo Hatake's psychological counseling can be strengthened, there may be a best-of-both-worlds ending in the future.

And through today's conversation, Hatake Akira has realized that Hatake Sakumo's mind has become extreme.

To put it bluntly, he felt hopeless after seeing the darkness, or felt powerless and self-blame, and what happened later undoubtedly magnified these negative emotions, and finally brought him to the end of his life in a very shameful way .

But fortunately, Hatake Sakumo confided his heart to Hatake Akira today, which made him prepare in advance.

This is due to the impression that Akira Hatake left in Sakumo Hatake's heart when he was a child, and helped him analyze Konoha's political situation many times, so that Sakumo Hatake would confide in Akira Hatake when he was confused.

It can be said that Akira Hatake's efforts in the past were not in vain because of the results of the past.

"This... feels hard."

"It's not difficult." Akira Hatake shook his head, "Although you rarely send out missions now, no one can tell what will happen in the future. Opportunities will come."

"I hope..." Hatake Sakumo sighed, "Akira, do you think your father is a failure?"

"No." Hatake Akira smiled, "Your ambition is not just that, the blade of "Konoha White Fang" is aimed at the enemy, not at your own people, I can understand the struggle in your heart.

Not only will I not feel that you are a failure, but I will feel that you are pure and a truly great ninja! "

Akira Hatake said this from the bottom of his heart, and at that time Sakumo Hatake chose to commit suicide, which also meant to save Kakashi Hatake.

When it comes to Hokage, Hatake Sakumo is definitely not qualified, but as a father, Hatake Sakumo is obviously beyond the passing line by a large margin.

"Thank you, Ming." Hatake Sakumo smiled, "Then tell me, what should I do in the future?"

"Be tougher!" Hatake Akira narrowed his eyes, "If the internal cancer is not cured, not only will there be a lot of bad things in the future, but it will also endanger me and Kakashi.

Since my father doesn't want to go into politics, it's okay to be a knife, and I've already chosen an ally for my father, he won't turn Konoha into a mess like Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura did! "

"you are right……"

"Namikaze Minato!" Hatake Akira said word by word.
