Chapter 1052: The Death of White Fang

Tonight, the entire Konoha was in mourning.

The Hokage's office had released the news that the ninja "Konoha's White Fang," who had made great contributions in the Sand ninja war, had sacrificed himself in a mission.

Hatake Sakumo's sacrifice was so sudden that even the ninja within Konoha were unable to react in time.

Regarding this, the one who found it most difficult to accept was the Hatake clan.

After all, the Hatake clan was just a small ninja clan, and Hatake Sakumo was the backbone of the entire Hatake clan.

With Sakumo dead, the situation of the Hatake clan in Konoha would likely become difficult.

But no matter how difficult it was for the ninja of the Hatake clan to accept, the cruel reality was just that.

In the morgue, the Third Hokage, dressed in a white imperial robe and holding a dry tobacco pipe, came to see Hatake Sakumo for the "last time."

At the same time, he took the opportunity to console the Hatake clan, who had just lost their backbone.

Before Hatake Sakumo's corpse, several ninja with striking silver hair all looked sorrowful, their faces miserable as they looked at the dead Sakumo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked in quietly and then lowered his voice to speak.

"My condolences."

As he spoke, a trace of gloom appeared on his face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice attracted the attention of the few who were drawn by Sakumo's corpse.

"Hokage-sama..."

The ninja of the Hatake clan stood up one after another and spoke respectfully to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Only a small silver-haired boy remained lying on Hatake Sakumo's corpse, indifferent to Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrival.

"Sigh..."

"Sakumo was a good man."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed lightly, his eyes looking at the silver-haired boy lying on Hatake Sakumo.

The ninja of the Hatake clan soon noticed Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze.

"He is Kakashi, Hatake Kakashi."

"Sakumo's only son."

A ninja of the Hatake clan explained immediately.

Regarding Kakashi's existence, Sarutobi Hiruzen was naturally very clear.

After all, as the sharpest blade under Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hiruzen could not have failed to do a background check on Hatake Sakumo.

It was just that this was the first time he had seen Kakashi. ===== CHAPTER 1054 =====
