186 Innocence and maturity
In the world of ninjas, people who break the rules are called waste, but ...... Those who do not cherish their companions are not even as good as waste! β
This sentence, after it was uttered by himself, echoed in Kakashi's mind from time to time, forcing him to question and rhetorical.
- Ninja, should you be affected by your feelings? And how do you view the sacrifice of your companions?
But now, Orochimaru's answer made him see the fact that he had not been able to think deeply about it all this time - who is this "companion"?
In the battle of Kannabi Bridge, Rin, who was captured by the enemy, was a companion, so was the village ninja who died on the battlefield because of the failure of the mission, but was it a companion?
The question he had been struggling with had been wrong from the beginning, it was not a choice between companions and tasks, but between his current companions and his invisible companions.
"Uchiha Obito, it doesn't seem to be as confused as you."
Orochimaru smiled, "He is very decisive and resolute, and he will not hesitate to break with you to rush to rescue Nohara Rin." β
"But Uchiha Obito may just be too stupid to see the companions behind the mission."
"So you might as well speculate that if that day, you use what I am saying now, will he be speechless and obediently carry out the mission, or will he say something, "A companion will not give up", save Nohara Lin and go on the mission again. β
Kakashi was silent, and with what he knew about Obito, there was no doubt that the somewhat naΓ―ve guy who often spoke of ideals would choose the latter.
Don't give up, don't give up, save everyone...... But these words, it is okay to talk about them, and it is okay to regard them as ideals, but they are not reality.
What is the reality, the reality is that if it weren't for the timely arrival of Mr. Mizuto to repel the Iwa Shinobi troops, Konoha would have to pay a heavier price for their mission failure.
"A person, you can't listen to what he says, you have to see what he does."
Orochimaru looked at Kakashi and said slowly, "The opportunity on the battlefield is fleeting, and if you can really grasp it and achieve the best of both worlds, it will be fine, but when there is a conflict between sacrificing companions and the mission, all ninja villages advocate giving priority to the mission." β
"Because you don't know what the village will pay if this mission fails."
ββ¦β¦β
Orochimaru's words, the facts he presented, and the reasons given were very convincing, and Kakashi was speechless and couldn't find a place to refute them.
All along, the tangled and confused questions have been answered, but Kakashi is not as comfortable as he imagined, and the boulder in his heart is getting heavier and heavier, making him breathless.
At this time, the sky was already dark, the night dew was condensing, the breeze was slightly cold, but the jungle was still sinking in darkness, and the green was dyed black, Kakashi looked at Orochimaru, whose expression was hidden in the gloom, and took a deep breath.
The cold invaded his chest, and even the calm depression in the nerves was dissipated a little, and Kakashi's tone was astringent,
"You're right, but it's just a ninja, my father should know this, why did he make that choice?"
Whether it's knowingly abandoning a mission to save a companion, or finally committing suicide...... This is very different from what Kakashi knew about his father in the past.
It's too weak!
As a ninja, he couldn't carry the sacrifice of his companions forward, and he was defeated under the gossip, and chose the most cowardly way of confrontation.
This isn't the father Kakashi had in mind.
"Shuo Mao's choice at that time was still more complicated than that stunned Qing with soil."
Orochimaru seemed to recall an extremely long past, and there was some embarrassment in his eyes, but he quickly came back to his senses and said slowly,
"Going back to the previous question, you are not the kind of idiot who only revuls in ideals, you should understand that the village cannot protect everyone."
Kakashi's face flashed in his mind as he nodded slightly.
"This truth, not only do you know, but the advisor elders such as Tuan Zang and Zhuan Xiaochun also know it."
Orochimaru glanced at Kakashi and said, "Then what choice did you make as the Hokage who led them?" β
Where the leaves fly, the fire grows!
This short poem, engraved in the ninja school and engraved on the memorial monument, came to mind, and Kakashi suddenly understood something.
"Sacrifice to protect."
Orochimaru repeated it heavily, his expression a little serious for the first time in a long time,
"The first Hokage established the Ninja Village, and the second Hokage established the Hodo, but it was the third generation that really developed Konoha to the point where it is now."
"Sacrifice to protect, this is the basis for his current achievements."
"In fact, there is no problem with this approach, if you can't protect everyone, then protect some people, this kind of thinking is right."
Kakashi thinks the same way, the more he knows, the more he can understand the difficulties of the village's higher-ups, and he may not be able to do better.
Looking at Kakashi's attitude, Orochimaru shook his head,
But there is a problem here, after a long time, decades have passed, and the village leaders, including the old man, are somewhat accustomed to the justice of "sacrifice". β
"They forget that sacrifice is the lesser of two evils, and the last resort."
Instead, "sacrifice" as a means. β
Kakashi's heart was shocked, his eyes constantly changing, but he suddenly understood why his heart was so depressed.
"So, do you understand?"
Orochimaru looked at Kakashi and said slowly, "Before that, there was a period of time when the village mercilessly used ninjas as consumables in exchange for human lives in order to extract greater benefits. β
"Shuo Mao's mission happened during this period, and he found out the dirt behind it, so he chose to give up the mission."
Kakashi's expression remained unchanged, but he clenched his fists hard.
"Unlike the time when Obito was used, it was not about the importance of the rescued companions, but about a rebellion against the ideas of the village's higher-ups."
Orochimaru spread his hands and said,
"As you know, the failure was complete, not only the village, but even the rescued ninja blamed him in turn."
"Because he sincerely agrees that if he can exchange benefits, he should be sacrificed."
"The whole village is so obsessed with the righteousness of sacrifice that they have completely forgotten that if the higher-ups are not greedy for the greater good and issue such a task, no one will be sacrificed."
"The villagers, the ninjas, the concept in their minds is stubborn, hard, and unbreakable, and after realizing this, Shuo Mao chose to commit suicide."
"It's not because of mission failure, it's not because of gossip, suicide itself is a rebellion."
Kakashi froze in place, his nose a little sour, but he didn't know what it tasted like.
"Shuo Mao's approach was beyond everyone's expectations, and the high-level people in the village could not bear the loss of a shadow-level powerhouse like this, and they kept reflecting on it."
Orochimaru's expression was also a little complicated, and he slowed down his voice,
After this incident, although the concept of "sacrifice to protect" is still the same, in addition to the roots, when issuing tasks, the senior management has a little more scruples and does not dare to be as unscrupulous as before. β
He patted Kakashi on the shoulder, "That's why you can hear Uchiha Obito say those naΓ―ve words." β
"Normally, it's not even a choice."
"Although, on the surface, it can't be seen, and the wind has never changed, but your father, Hachiki Sakushige, is a great ninja."
"He did not hesitate to die, for the village, and carried out what is sacrificed to protect!"
