Chapter 170: The Death of White Fang?, Monthly Pass]
The entire Konoha Hospital was struck with a huge hole.
The root ninja who was kicked away by Toneri Kaku fell to the ground.
But in the next moment, four root ninjas appeared again, surrounding Toneri and staring at him warily.
After opening the door, Toneri's face turned red, and the veins on his head were bulging. He walked towards the ward step by step, looking like he would beat anyone who dared to stop him.
The four root ninjas did not dare to approach and could only move with him.
Then Toneri saw the expressionless ninja Yuta lying on the hospital bed. He seemed to turn a blind eye to the movement Toneri made.
Walk up to him and stare at this man.
From his expression, Toneri roughly guessed that Danzo must have grasped something about him, or perhaps grasped some of his weaknesses.
But as a result, the man who was originally so angry that he wanted to beat him was now not even interested at all.
"You have your difficulties, but that doesn't mean you can get others' forgiveness. You never know how much it will hurt others." Sheren said coldly.
A slight change appeared on Yuta's expressionless face, and he opened his mouth slightly.
A hoarse voice sounded, "Come on."
Toneri clenched his fists without hesitation, the purpose of coming here was to beat him!
Even if he may also be a victim!
Punch.
But before he attacked, four root ninjas who were watching from the side finally took action.
We can't let Toneri attack Yuta like this, their mission is to protect him here.
Sensing their changes, the fist he swung stopped for an instant.
"You are the ones waiting!"
He closed his fist and attacked the root ninja closest to him.
A large amount of surging air flow was wrapped around his fist, and the thunder on his body also circled along his arm and condensed on his arm.
"Who allowed you to be so close to me?!"
boom!!!
With a sharp punch, a huge hole appeared on the wall of the ward. It was not just one wall, but continuous and multiple walls, all of which were penetrated.
The other three root ninjas were unmoved, and the swords, kunai, shurikens, etc. in their hands were all heading towards Toneri.
"Injury door! Open!"
This is the last gate among the eight gates of Dunjia he has mastered that will not harm himself excessively. It is also the final expression of the anger in his heart at this moment.
Whether it was kunai or shuriken, they were all blown away by the increasingly turbulent airflow rising from his feet.
The figure disappeared instantly.
When he appeared again, he was beside a fundamental ninja.
Bang——
Once again, one person was blown away.
Without exception, those who were hit by him lost the ability to stand up again after falling down.
"Notify your lord, there is an enemy attack!"
One of the root ninjas wearing a cat-like mask with green lines carved on it said, "The team leader of the root ninjas who should still be guarding here."
The other person did not hesitate and immediately released a signal flare into the air.
Facing Sanren in his current state, they really don't have much ability to resist.
In a place like Konoha Hospital, where the use of destructive ninjutsu is expressly prohibited, Toneri can rely on their powerful body and unreasonable taijutsu to do whatever they want, but they have to obey orders and restrain their hands.
The current situation is that as long as they are bumped into, they will die and become disabled, and they cannot compete at all.
Moreover, the unreasonable speed and strength are the biggest nemesis of ninjutsu-type ninjas.
Taijutsu is difficult to practice, and the results are very slow, but if you can persist, when the physical skills are improved to a certain level, and quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, the restraint of taijutsu type ninjas over ninjutsu type ninjas will be reflected, especially
In this small space, in this close state.
There is simply no ability to resist or fight back.
For taijutsu ninjas, the most serious restraint is the genjutsu ninja, and ninjutsu ninjas restrain genjutsu ninjas to a certain extent.
Ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu, to a certain extent, can also be regarded as a state of mutual restraint.
Bang! Bang!
With one palm and one punch, the remaining two people fell down with little ability to resist.
No one would have thought that someone actually dared to take action in Konoha Hospital. These basic ninjas were not very strong, and they were obviously not good enough in front of Toneri.
After getting rid of these obstructive root ninjas, he walked step by step to the hospital bed.
However, he remained expressionless, as if what happened here just now had little to do with it, and the anger in his heart had not been completely vented.
Noticing Toneri's approach and the short sword still in the scabbard at his waist, Yuta's expression and eyes changed.
Following his eyes, he also looked at the short knife at his waist.
It seems that he understands the relationship between Toneri and Hatake Sakumo.
"bring it on."
Toneri nodded without hesitation, "I punched this punch for Uncle Sakumo!"
Bang——
Blood splattered everywhere.
"This punch is for the dead Konoha ninjas!"
Bang——
"And this last punch was for myself, which put me in an unnecessary crisis."
boom!!!
With the last punch, the ground in the entire ward collapsed, and the man fell unconscious. A large amount of blood burst out from his mouth and all over his body, and a sickly blush appeared on his originally pale face.
Sheren still restrained his strength.
But the internal injuries were not minor.
After three punches, the turbulent airflow on Toneri's body dissipated, and the Eight Gate Dunjia was released.
He kept breathing heavily. No matter how many times he used it, the Eight Gate Dunjia would put a considerable burden on his body. If he hadn't been really angry this time, he wouldn't have directly used the Eight Gate Dunjia to fight quickly.
quick decision.
However, he still knew what was appropriate. He only seriously injured them, but did not kill them.
No matter what, they are all ninjas of Konoha. If they really kill them, they will have to bear a lot of punishment, and they may even be forced to become traitorous ninjas.
No matter how wrong others were, no matter how angry he felt, he could not kill them.
He still has this bit of sense.
"Sir Toneri, you are really fine!"
"Lord Toneri, this is..."
The three people approaching here are the three leaders of the third team of Sheren Medical Team, and they are also the people who dare to approach here so far.
"Now that you are here, I will leave this person to you. Treating him will make my hands dirty." He said, waving his hands and walking towards the place where he made a big hole in the wall.
"yes!"
When Shiren was about to leave, another voice sounded.
"You're such a grumpy kid, do you think doing this will be of any help to Sakumo?"
Before Toneri went out, Jiraiya walked in through the big hole in the wall and waved to the outside. The ANBU ninjas who were waiting for him got his order and left quickly.
Toneri glanced at Jiraiya with a straight face and said stiffly: "Then Jiraiya-sama, what did you do?"
After saying that, he ignored him and walked directly past him, walked out of the big hole, and disappeared with a leap.
Jiraiya stayed where he was, rubbing his temples with a headache, his expression looked helpless, "This kid really has a bad temper..."
After a pause, he continued to mutter to himself: "But don't tell me, he's quite handsome. I'm starting to like him a little bit..."
Then he left, leaving behind a message, "Repair the hospital and don't let others get close to it. That bastard won't be able to take a punch."
...
Back to the lab.
When Lingxiang saw Toneri come back with an ugly expression, he ducked into the laboratory and immediately stepped forward cautiously to help.
But then, he saw Toneri open a scroll and after the seal was released, a man's body was lying flat on a specially prepared experimental table.
"Sheren, this is..."
Lingxiang was slightly surprised. This was the first time he saw Toneri bring back a human body.
Although she is not very averse to seeing human corpses, she has seen the darkest part of the world, so there is nothing she has not been exposed to.
She was just surprised that Toneri, who had always been cautious and unwilling to touch humans too much, actually took out a human corpse without hesitation today.
What is this going to do?
Study the human body.
"This is an ice escape blood successor ninja from Kirigakure Village when I was on a mission in Kirigakure Village." Toneri said calmly.
"Ice Escape?"
As Toneri's most trusted assistant, Lingxiang knew that he had a little known hobby of collecting blood inheritance limits that were rare and precious in the eyes of others.
Among them are those obtained in the last chuunin exam, such as melting release, burning release, boiling release, explosive release, etc.
Coupled with this ice escape, there is no doubt that Toneri has another kind of blood inheritance limited collection.
"Be prepared, we may start a new experimental branch soon. If nothing goes wrong, the frequency of human corpses we come into contact with will increase in the future.
In the next few years, the ninja world will be unstable again. Before that, you can increase your power as much as you can."
Sheren doesn't have many taboos about spiritual incense.
He is a pessimist and will consider everything from the worst-case scenario. This advantage is that if the worst-case scenario does happen, he will definitely have some backup options.
But the bad thing is that from the beginning, there will never be anyone he can trust 100%.
Therefore, even as Lingxiang, who is his closest assistant at the moment, Toneri cannot trust him 100%. It can only be said that he still has reservations.
Research on human subjects is a big taboo, but if they are just from outside the village and are already dead, even if it is really exposed, there won't be much trouble.
The White Fang incident that happened this time gave Toner a big warning.
For someone as strong as Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo, Konoha's top management didn't hesitate much when they wanted to get him, which indeed made him feel the crisis to some extent.
Although his identity as the Two-Tailed Jinchuuriki is not as intimidating as Konoha White Fang, in terms of sensitivity alone, it is definitely far beyond him.
In this way, the possibility and success rate of others making a fuss about him will be higher.
In addition, he himself was indeed not very clean. If Konoha's ANBU wanted to investigate him from beginning to end, they would not be able to find any clues.
It's just that the friendly attitude he has always shown and his behavior have covered up the possibility of others being suspicious of him to a certain extent.
Danzo has arranged for Hiruzen Sarutobi this time. He will definitely not be able to stir up trouble for a while. We must seize the opportunity during this period. No one knows who will be targeted next time...
...
the next day.
A piece of news that shocked the entire ninja world swept across Konoha.
Konoha Shirogane, who was a powerful figure in the ninja world and frightened everyone. He could stop children from crying at night. He hanged himself at home last night.
This news was spread by Hatake Sakumo's wife, and no one would doubt whether the news was true or false.
It is precisely because of the authenticity of this news that everyone who heard the news was stunned.
Because none of them could have imagined that Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumoger, whom they were discussing a few days ago, would actually hang himself to death like this?
Perhaps, when many people were discussing this matter, no one could have imagined that a few words of their own could actually cause such great destructive power.
People's words are scary...
With the support of caring people and the encouragement of a few people, every unintentional word became the sharpest knife, piercing Hatake Sakumo's chest bit by bit, and pierced his heart one by one.
In this era and in such a general environment, Hatake Sakumo became the first person to face the violence of speech.
Only a few people knew that Hatake Sakumo would have such a reaction, and it was more because of Naruto Sarutobi Hiruzen's laissez-faire inaction, which made him feel discouraged.
The occurrence of this incident caused the liveliness of the entire Konoha to drop by more than one degree that day.
On this day, White Fang's death shocked the entire Konoha. To Toneri, it was as if it had not happened. He just stayed in his laboratory and did not leave.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had not appeared these days, did appear.
He first came out to confirm that Toneri was not dead, and then admitted his mistake regarding Hatake Sakumo, expressed his apology, and proved that Konoha White Fang Hatake Sakumo was definitely the hero of Konoha.
His contribution to Konoha cannot be slandered by anyone.
Konoha White Fang's name will be engraved on Konoha's Heroic Spirit Monument.
In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen came out and confirmed Hatake Sakumo's achievements.
However, because of his hesitation, it was a little late, and the ANBU minister who had contributed so much to Konoha actually hanged himself in his own home.
This is a huge loss for Konoha as a whole.
Originally, he was just hesitating to help Orochimaru, or maybe it was simply some selfish motives in his heart that were at work. In short, Sarutobi Hiruzen's original intention was definitely not to let Hatake Sakumo die.
It was not easy for Konoha to have such a towering tree that could protect the entire hidden village, but he watched every word turn into axes, felling the tree bit by bit, and the heaviest felling was
The person who struck that sword was actually Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage.
This is simply the funniest joke.
The occurrence of this incident has affected countless people, and the most affected among them is undoubtedly Hatake Kakashi, who is still in the ninja school.
The third day.
The entire Konoha held a funeral for Hatake Sakumo's death.
Almost everyone in Konoha dressed in black and attended the funeral.
The sky was dark, as if even it felt sad for Hatake Sakumo's death.
In the pouring rain, everyone witnessed the coffin containing the body of Hatake Sakumo being buried in Konoha's Heroes Cemetery, and Hiruzen Sarutobi himself engraved his name on the Heroic Spirit Monument.
On this day, Toneri also walked out of the laboratory. Wearing black clothes, he attended the funeral with an expressionless face.
At the same time, I also saw Orochimaru, who had not appeared for a long time, at the funeral.
Orochimaru's expression was indifferent, and his yellow eyes did not show much emotion, but Toneri knew that Hatake Sakumo's death would definitely have a huge impact on him, a teacher who pursued immortality.
The strength of Konoha White Fang is higher than that of the Sannin. Such a powerful man, but he still cannot escape the ending of death. For Orochimaru, how he died is not important. What is important is that he died, a
The deaths of powerful seniors and the deaths of the few people in Konoha who were respected by him solidified his pursuit of eternal life.
Toneri didn't go to talk to Orochimaru, and Orochimaru didn't go to Toneri either. Their eyes met in the air, and their familiarity with each other meant that they didn't need much communication.
Also attending the funeral were Toneri's good friends Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. They should have been happy that Toneri had not died, but it happened at Hatake Sakumo's funeral.
I can't be happy at all.
Moreover, Toneri's slightly indifferent expression made the two of them feel somewhat unnatural.
However, they didn't think much about it, because they knew that this companion who called himself "Konoha's Little White Fang" really admired Hatake Sakumo, and Hatake Sakumo had indeed taught him swordsmanship.
An enlightening teacher in swordsmanship.
The death of a senior with special meaning will definitely have a huge impact on him.
Therefore, the two close friends did not come up to communicate. They just hoped that Sheren could get out of this shadow.
Toneri also saw this, but his attention at the moment was focused on the silver-haired boy standing in front of the group, his head lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He was carrying Hatake Sakumo's White Fang on his back. He was neither sad nor crying. He just stood silently at the front of the crowd. If it weren't for a haggard-looking woman holding an umbrella for him next to him, he would probably have died.
Even if he gets wet in the rain, he won't have much mood swings.
The funeral ended soon, and what Toneri had been waiting for appeared in his sight.
A cat with light blue stripes walked through the crowd to Toneri's side, and jumped onto his shoulder.
"How about it?"
Xiaolan nodded silently without speaking.
But Toneri knew what he wanted to know.
Looking at the slightly covered coffin, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly inadvertently.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, he walked towards Kakashi, who was still standing there blankly.
Kakashi knelt down and patted his shoulder gently. Kakashi remained unmoved. Were the so-called comforting words he heard today too few?
"Have you ever experienced darkness? Kakashi?"
The crowd dispersed, leaving only Toner and Kakashi.
For the first time, after hearing words that were not comforting, Kakashi's half-open eyes changed.
"Don't listen to other people's seemingly comforting words. You never know how many things are hidden in them. Use your own heart to feel your father's thoughts and actions, and try to understand him.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, you will eventually understand it when you grow up.
Work hard to grow up, and when you are strong enough, you will understand what your father did."
Listening to Toneri's words, Kakashi didn't quite understand for a moment.
However, when Xiaolan, who was on Toneri's shoulder, looked at Kakashi, the chakra on his body fluctuated vaguely.
