Seeing Bai Fang's unhurried expression, Makoto's mood calmed down, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

When I was on a mission in the Land of the Wind before, I had heard about the corners of this matter, but at that time, because the news was mixed with too many misinformation from ordinary people, Makoto didn't pay much attention to it.

This incident is related to the three generations of Kazekage, who is known as the "strongest" in the past generations.

It's roughly an intelligence war between Konoha, Sand Ninja, and Yugaku...... Originally, it was just a section of the border between Fire and Rain, and after Hakuya succeeded in seizing favorable information from Hanzo, he was unexpectedly ambushed by the elite of the Sand Ninja puppet force led by Kazekage.

As a result, in order to protect the safety of his teammates, White Fang categorically decided to abandon the mission and prioritize escorting them back to the village.

This is nothing in the first place - I knew before that sometimes in order to protect the medical ninja, it is advisable for the captain to weigh it up and then abandon the mission - and it involves a [cost] measurement problem, and the cost of training a medical ninja is sometimes much higher than the cost of failing the mission.

It's just that the cost of White Fang's choice to give up the task this time is too high:

In order to compensate for the loss of this important information, the Fire Nation had to offer a large territory in exchange for benefits with the Rain Nation and the Wind Nation.

The loss of the land is simply an unprecedented humiliation for the nobles and people of the Fire Country, who have always regarded themselves as the first of the five great powers. After the "rumors" came out from nowhere, the crowd was excited for a while, and White Fang and even the entire Konoha were pushed to the cusp.

The strange atmosphere that Makoto perceived when he first returned to the village was related to this rumor that was actually a fact.

There's no point in dwelling on who made the mission information out that should have been kept secret for the time being, and it turns out that even in Konoha Village, where Konoha has been based for many years, the people's sentiment towards White Fang is overwhelming, let alone other regions.

Makoto received the news that the Daimyo of the Fire Nation was furious because of this, and had sent an envoy to Konoha to arrive soon.

In the midst of the accusations in the entire Fire Country, Konoha was also quite uneasy, and there were even voices of dissatisfaction with White Fang at the top. And the phrase "let the white fang be responsible" has also spread from the bottom.

In this grim situation, this man is still so peaceful, which makes Cheng can't help but admire a little.

"What are you going to do?" Facial paralysis Komasata Kakashi didn't know where to run after pouring tea, Makoto could only refill himself with tea and ask casually.

White Fang is so bland, he must have already made up his mind. Also, with his quasi-shadow-level strength and fame, it is impossible for Konoha to embarrass him so much.

"I don't know."

White Fang's tone and expression didn't change, but his eyes swept in the direction of Kakashi's room, and a hint of disappointment flashed imperceptibly.

"I don't know!?" Makoto almost squirted out a sip of tea: "Do you know how serious the situation is now!" The daimyo is coerced, the public opinion of the nobles and the people is not you, and you have few allies in the upper echelons of the village, so it is simply the rhythm of making you seppuku in minutes! ”

In the end, Makoto couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and throw out the "ending" half-truthfully, tentatively in a joking tone.

"You fart!"

Kakashi's immature and angry voice came, and then he was confronted by a canopy of bitter rain, dense but scattered, with occasional staggering and transposition between kunai and kunai, confusing the target.

Of course, the detonation charm of the bitter supreme is still indispensable.

It's progressing again...... Makoto sighed faintly.

However, it seems that my progress is faster.

Cheng didn't move, only to see that Kuwuliu could fly by the corners of his clothes, and the "bang" detonator explosion only caused the Qimu family's house to suffer once.

Kakashi, who was hiding in the next room and listening with his ears pricked up, used the information to judge Makoto's location, and the only information he used to judge Makoto's location was his usual impressions. Hearing, impression, such subjective things, are the best targets for illusion.

Letting Kakashi, who is at most no more than a mid-ninja strength, misjudge his position, this is too easy for Makoto, whose illusion ability has reached the elite upper ninja level.

"Damn."

Seeing that his surprise attack was in vain, Kakashi punched the ground hard and ran away.

Fortunately, the Qimu family is built of concrete, and it is not like other large families with a long history like they like to use wooden materials. However, under the attack of this density of ninja equipment and detonation charms, a large hole was blown open on one side of the room, revealing the corridor, and several startled servants hurriedly rushed over, but were swept away by White Fang with a wave of his hand.

Kakashi was so emotional, of course, that he was not angry that his father, whom he regarded as a hero, was treated like this by the village and the villagers, and even the Daimyo of the Fire Nation.

Or is there a reason why you can't face the fact that your father "ran away"?

Makoto glanced at White Fang quietly.

From beginning to end, White Fang just watched from the sidelines, and there was even a little coldness in his eyes.

Seriously, even Makoto, who has experienced things first-hand now, can't figure out why White Fang chose to commit suicide in the original work.

White Fang can be said to be the banner figure of Konoha now, if it weren't for the fact that the Qimu family was alone, and White Fang himself had no intention of power, even if it was the position of Hokage, he might not be able to compete.

Although White Fang is low-key and neutral at the political table of Konoha and seems to be dispensable, in terms of personal strength and the prestige of the Konoha Ninja Army, he is by no means an existence that can be rounded and flattened by the village. Not to mention anything else, at least among the ninjas of Konoha against the Wind Country troops in World War II that year, the white fang's popularity was only the third generation of ape flying in the sun.

Even if this kind of person cancels out under the internal pressure of the entire Fire Country, don't forget, this is a ninja world, and the real power lies in the ninja itself.

With the strength of White Fang who is now almost "the first person under three generations", it is impossible for the village to tear his face with him. After all, it wasn't a serious act of hostility like a mutiny, it was just a big or small crime like "mission failure", and the village was really determined to risk the danger of forcing the White Fang to die?

Ape Fei is not old in his prime, and the three forbearances are there. But even so, what terrible losses will White Fang's desperate battle cause?

Not to mention the impact of letting such a strong man who is qualified to be on the throne defect.

If it is the white fang's own death, it can also be explained, but now, from the observation of sincerity, although the white fang is a little abnormal, it is not to the extent that he can't live.

In other words, how could a strong person of Baiya's level, with such a strong mind as iron, "commit suicide in fear of crime" because of the pressure of public opinion?
