Now eleven-year-old Ye Feng's figure has risen a lot, faintly revealing a sense of uprightness.

However, there is still a long time before the teenager really becomes an adult.

The wind and waves shook up the sand and dust, and almost drowned the deserted village.

This place has obviously not been inhabited for a long time, and if it weren't for the mission target lurking here, Ye Feng and the others would never have come here.

"Let's go."

Ye Feng spoke slowly, his voice was much thicker than before, and his childishness was already undetectable.

The figures of the three of them flashed, and they quickly rushed into the wilderness, rolling up dust and sand.

After several days of traveling, the trio returned to the roots and submitted their assignments.

After seeing Orochimaru, the three of them did not stay and returned directly to the village.

In the past three years, this process has been repeated countless times, and the three of them have become accustomed to it.

But just as they put away their masks and prepared to separate on Konoha Avenue, they suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the village was not normal.

Several people stood at the door of the store, whispering.

"Did you hear that? The Lord's mission failed. ”

"I really didn't expect that he would fail the mission as an outstanding ninja?"

"But I heard that he gave up his mission to save the lives of his companions."

"So what, the mission of the ninja is to complete the mission, do you know how much damage this failure has caused to the village?"

"It seems that this adult should reflect on himself."

Listening to these words, Zhishui and Sunset Red felt quite foggy, and they didn't understand what they were saying at all.

But Ye Feng's fingers trembled, and many thoughts came to his mind.

He understands that the time of death has come!

In the original book, before the Third Ninja World War, Sakumo Hagi was unwilling to give up the lives of his companions during a mission, which led to the failure of the mission.

Originally, it was just a small matter, and at most it caused a little damage to the village.

But Konoha's great conspirator Tuan Zang didn't want to stop there, and publicized the matter behind his back.

At the same time, the rescued ninja who was supposed to be grateful to Hachiki Sakushige, also stood up and publicly criticized him because of Danzang.

For a time, Konoha's public opinion, under the guidance of Tuan Zang, was full of accusations and abuses against Qimu Shuomao.

Under the situation pointed out by these 10,000 people, Qimu Shuomao was overwhelmed, and his soul was clouded.

He pondered whether a ninja should prioritize their mission or value the lives of their companions.

This question constantly bothered him, and at the same time, the outside world put a lot of pressure on him.

Suddenly, one day, Sakumo Hachiki couldn't bear the erosion of public opinion and decided to atone for his sins by committing suicide.

And this also became the beginning of Kakashi's journey towards the shadows.

"Hey, Ye Feng, what do you want?"

Sunset Hong patted Ye Feng's palm and woke him up from his trance.

"Oh... Oh! Nothing, nothing. Ye Feng waved his hand again and again, but soon became depressed again.

Looking at Ye Feng in this appearance, Sunset Red and Zhishui glanced at each other, and they didn't understand what was happening.

"It's weird."

Sunset Red shook her head, her hair swaying, and a fragrant breeze came out.

Zhishui smiled and didn't say anything.

After walking for a while, they heard something different again.

"It's amazing! Saburo Saida even publicly accused that adult! ”

"Huh? Is that the adult? Who is this Saburo Kida? ”

"What other adults have been there lately, really. Isn't Saburo Saida the companion that the adults don't want to abandon?! ”

"What!? Lord Qimu saved his life, and he actually took revenge and stood up to accuse him? ”

"Who's to say it's not, let's go check it out!"

Ye Feng suddenly shook his senses from his contemplation, looked at the villagers who were far away, and hurriedly chased after them.

Zhishui and Sunset Red glanced at each other, and they both realized that something might be wrong.

Otherwise, the villagers wouldn't be talking around, and Ye Feng wouldn't be like this.

The two then chased after them.

As they ran, they found that villagers were running on almost every street, and they were going to almost the same place.

This situation made them frown even more, and they didn't understand what had happened to cause such a sensational scene.

After a while, Ye Feng and the three of them rushed to the front of the Hokage Building with the crowd.

In front of a store, there is a small high platform.

A figure was standing on it, talking loudly with a face full of anger.

"As a ninja, my mission is to get things done!"

"Although Hachiki-sama saved my life, it is a shame for me as a ninja!"

"That's right, it's a shame!"

Speaking of this, Saida Saburo's face turned extremely red, and he felt as if he was about to commit suicide in grief.

The villagers were infected by his grief-stricken appearance, and an inexplicable sense of empathy swelled in their hearts, full of sympathy for him.

I only heard him continue: "How I wish that my death could be exchanged for the successful completion of the mission. ”

"But without my consent, he stopped the mission under the banner of saving my life, causing the mission to fail!"

"As a ninja, I really can't accept that such a person would be my captain!"

"He doesn't deserve to be my captain, a ninja!"

Speaking of this, Saburo Saida actually left tears in his eyes, as if he was extremely sad.

People didn't notice that in the Hokage building a few meters away, the palm of a figure standing by the window trembled at that moment.

Ape Fei Ri stepped forward, stretched out his hand and patted Qimu Shuomao's shoulder, and comforted softly: "Don't take it to heart, everyone has everyone's pursuit." ”

"After a while, this matter will settle down."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Qimu Shuomao nodded, his expression could not see joy and sorrow.

On the street, Saburo Saida suddenly cried bitterly: "I'm sorry for the village!" ”

"If it weren't for me, the mission wouldn't have failed, and the village wouldn't have been lost!"

"I'm damned!"

Seeing this scene, the already sad and angry villagers sympathized with him even more and comforted him.

"It's okay, you're not sorry for the village."

"That's it, ninja-sama, you're good! We've got your back! ”

In the angry voice of the crowd, a sentence suddenly came out.

"Your Excellency, you're not wrong! It's Hachiki Shuo Mao who is wrong! ”

As soon as these words came out, the villagers seemed to have found an outlet, and the voices became more and more intense.

"That's right! It's the fault of Sakushige Qimu! He shouldn't give up on his mission and disgrace you, my lord! ”

"Ninjas should make it their duty to complete their missions, even if it is at the cost of their lives!"

For a time, almost all the villagers were responsible for the flag, even if some people faintly felt that something was wrong, they were also driven by the tide and followed the trend.

Ye Feng stood in the crowd, only to feel that the momentum was shocking, full of words of crusade against Qimu Shuomao.

He didn't say anything, although there was some hint of self-preservation, but he knew better.

In the face of these ignorant villagers, no matter how much they say, it is in vain.
