Naruto: Ming Dynasty people roaming the ninja world

Akaya set out early yesterday morning and brought three latest pieces of news specially reported by the Third Hokage to Hatake Sakumo, as well as the Third Hokage's new orders.

The first piece of news was that the letter for help that Hatake Sakumo sent to the Uchiha clan had been responded to. The Uchiha clan sent several elite jonin, who had arrived at the base of the remnants of the Hyuga clan.

On the day after the Uchiha clan ninjas arrived at the Hyuga clan's base, Hyuga Hiashi led the vanguard of the support force from the River Country and successfully arrived at the front. The Hyuga clan's line facing the Mist Village ninjas from the Water Country was temporarily stabilized!

The second piece of news was that the Second Kazekage of the Wind Country had appointed a new Kazekage! While the Chiyo clan had suffered a complete defeat in the River Country, the Sandfall clan's magnetic ninja Iron Sand showed its prowess in the battle against the Third Hokage of Konoha!

As a result, Iron Sand of the Sandfall Clan naturally succeeded to become the Third Kazekage, and the Second Kazekage Shamon willingly handed over the power in his hands. As soon as the Third Kazekage came to power, he ordered the withdrawal of all ninja troops from the Sand Village in the Wind Country and sent a message of peace talks to the warring countries, requesting a complete cessation of the war.

The Third Hokage was going to convene a class meeting of some of the jonin and ask Hatake Sakumo for his opinion on the peace talks.

The third piece of news was that Danzo Shimura had already made preliminary contact with Hanzo, the Rain Shadow of the Land of Rain, and was ready to start peace talks to stop the war between Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village. Yes, one of the conditions set by Danzo Shimura was that Konoha would be the first to recognize Hanzo's status as the Rain Shadow!

Danzo Shimura is about to visit the Hidden Rain Village and start peaceful and friendly negotiations, which also concerns the new orders of the Third Hokage.

First of all, Konoha and the Hidden Rain Village are about to usher in peace, and the safety of the Sannin is no longer a problem (yes, the Third Hokage recognized the title of Sannin given to his disciples by Hanzo, the Salamander), and at the same time, the Hatake team should try to avoid hostile behavior with the Hidden Rain Village. Therefore, the Hatake team's mission ended, and it was considered that the entire team and the medical ninja team completed an A-level mission.

The Third Hokage ordered that Hatake Sakumo's team split into two after joining with the upcoming Shimura Danzo team. Hatake Sakumo and Inuzuka Shigeo protected the medical ninja team and returned to the Konoha camp near the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain. Cong Fengmo and Aburame Shio joined Shimura Danzo's escort team to protect Shimura Danzo's safety in the Land of Rain.

Akabane set out yesterday evening and failed to receive the orders and messages forwarded to Konoha Village by the Third Hokage, but he brought a commission that was slightly different from the Third Hokage's orders.

Uzumaki Mito and Utane Koharu judged that the Sannin were seriously injured, so they personally sent a request to Hatake Sakumo, asking him to continue to follow the original search route and lead the medical ninja team to continue searching for the whereabouts of the Sannin. They also sent a storage scroll through Akabane, which contained a variety of medical supplies.

After Hatake Sakumo shared all the information and tasks, Mo Congfeng felt very strange. There seemed to be some special connection between the three messages from the Third Hokage! Uzumaki Mito might not know the Third Hokage's order, but Utatane Koharu obviously knew it. But why did she and Uzumaki Mito propose a commission that went against the Third Hokage's order? It was obvious that Uzumaki Mito alone could have been the commission, so why did they have to get involved and issue the commission together? Mo Congfeng felt confused!

Team Hatake Sakumo quickly arrived at the meeting point requested by the Third Hokage, waiting for the arrival of Danzo Shimura.

Mo Congfeng's mind also came out of his tense state of alert. He didn't want to eat Bingliang Pills to fill his stomach for the time being, so he suggested that everyone have a picnic.

Everyone agreed happily, and then dispersed to prepare on their own. Hatake Sakumo volunteered to go find some game, and Mo Congfeng asked to follow him.

Soon the two captured a wild deer and caught several pheasants. The pheasants' feathers were very unique and completely waterproof, and they could even fly in the weather of the Rain Country!

As the two were on their way back, Hatake Sakumo asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me? Mo!"

"The commission from Lord Uzumaki Mito and Senior Utane Koharu is contrary to the orders of the Third Hokage. It is better not to accept such a commission!" Mo Congfeng said hesitantly!

Hatake Sakumo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Mo, this is not the Congfeng Mo I know! Ninjas cannot abandon their companions. The Sannin may be seriously injured and in urgent need of help. This is the time for us to lend a hand! And the Third Hokage will understand me!"

Hatake Sakumo turned around and looked at Mo Congfeng, "Mofu has a saying that he always says. In the world of ninjas, the ninja's mission is always the most important. A ninja who cannot complete the mission is a waste! But I think there are more important things in the team, that is, companions. People who don't know how to cherish their companions are even worse than waste!"

Hatake Sakumo revealed a look of nostalgia, "The former Tuen Mun, Hondou, the current Shigeo, Mo, and maybe Shio in the future, they are all members of the Hatake team, and they are all my companions! Before I lost Tuen Mun Hondou, I quite agreed with Shigeo's words, but after losing them, I deeply realized that the importance of companions is sometimes even greater than the mission!"

"Civilian ninjas are different from clan ninjas. They must understand the importance of mutual support among their companions. That's why when one team member dies, the other teammates can obtain the victim's ninjutsu knowledge by helping to arrange the funeral. This is an unwritten rule that everyone understands!" Hatake Sakumo stated calmly, "I have the Tuen Mun's earth escape ninjutsu knowledge. I think you have already obtained the hall's illusion knowledge. You have accepted the fruit of this unwritten rule, so you should understand and comprehend the significance of mutual help and support among your companions!"

Mo Congfeng stared into Hatake Sakumo's eyes and felt that the man in front of him looked very much like a chivalrous warrior from the Ming Dynasty. He had the illusion that he looked like Chen Yufa. Looking back at his recent actions, Mo Congfeng gradually felt that he didn't recognize himself anymore. He felt that he was gradually becoming the Wind Country Ninjas he had met at the beginning.

Mo Congfeng sighed in his heart, maybe this is what you should learn to survive in the ninja world, but having a friend like Sakumo made him feel a little relieved. How should I put it, Mo Congfeng thought, Hatake Sakumo was one of the two nails that made him take root in the ninja world and become a member of Konoha, and it was the roots of Konoha that held him!

Mo Congfeng has understood everything, including Hatake Sakumo's choice, but there are some things he still needs to make clear to Hatake Sakumo!

"Captain Hatake, I understand what you mean and I respect your choice, but I still have something to say to you. Please allow me to express my despicable opinion on this matter!"
