Near the canyon, the two fell silent for a while.

Hachiki Shuomao silently healed his companions.

He was reluctant to doubt his teammates.

But I can't stand my teammates too straightforwardly.

Waiting for Shinsuke's wound to stop bleeding, he couldn't help but look back at the canyon, and then at Shinsuke, full of doubts.

Why did Shinsuke have to pester himself and keep hinting at sending him back for better treatment?

Could it be that he has something to do with the people on the other side of the canyon?

Shinsuke didn't even have time to pay attention to the pain on his body at this time, looking at the scrutinizing gaze of Shigeru Hagi, cold sweat like rain.

He had done what Gen had commanded.

According to Gen's idea, no matter what Hachiki Shuo Shigeru does, they have an excuse to make trouble.

However, if Hagi Sakushige abandons his companions and completes the mission, then his life will end here - the root members hiding nearby will kill and 'make mistakes' for Hagi Sakushige.

If Qimu Shuomao chooses to give up the mission, then he still has a chance to live.

So even if he almost leaked his mouth, Shinsuke had to leave Hachiki Shuo Shigeru.

This is his only chance to survive and the only option he can have to save his family.

He was very afraid, afraid that Qimu Shuomao would leave.

Although according to his understanding, Qimu Shuomao is a matter of cherishing his companions, but now that he is in a goof, how will Qimu Shuomao choose?

After a long silence, Qimu Shuomao suddenly asked, "That organization originated from around here?" ”

Shinsuke let out an "ah", he didn't expect Hachiki Shuo Shigeru to suddenly ask this question, and nodded hesitantly: "Yes, yes......"

Hachiki Shuo Mao didn't know what he was thinking, and asked again, "Came out of it in three years?" ”

Shinsuke nodded again in confusion.

Qimu Shuomao took a breath and stretched out his hand: "Let's go, I'll send you back first." ”

Shinsuke was surprised and delighted, he didn't know why Hachiki Shuo Shigeru suddenly changed his attitude, but this result was exactly what he wanted.

Qimu Shuomao carried his former companion on his back, and then glanced at the serpentine canyon, and his figure disappeared into the night.

He hadn't thought much about it all the way.

But the snake canyon, within three years, the Uchiha Oya's experience, and last year's words......

The threat of the bloodline theory has not yet spread, and it has made the Daimyo of the Fire Nation angry, and it will inevitably have an impact on the existing world in the future.

All kinds of signs are connected, and Sakumo Qiki can already guess that the changes in the Land of Rain are inseparable from his students.

Even, this is his testing ground.

Although he was reluctant to leave Konoha and go away.

But he believed that the original intention of the night was good, and this time, what he saw with his own eyes proved that at least the Land of Rain was recovering quickly, and the people at the bottom were at least more alive than before.

Royal Night, maybe it can really take a new path.

And what if he continues to track down and find out the real information?

If you don't report it, you're sorry for Konoha and you can't hide it from the Fire Country.

What about escalation?

What hurt was the hard work of the night, and the people at the bottom of the country of rain that were hurt.

In that case, it's better not to look at it.

Think of it as a failed mission......

However, the impact of this failed mission was far beyond his expectations.

After returning to Konoha, Shinsuke had not yet been discharged from the hospital, and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire sent an envoy to severely reprimand Konoha for the efficiency of his mission.

Many people watched that scene.

As a result, the news of the failure of the Hagi Shuomao mission spread quickly.

Then, fermentation.

……

“...... I'm out for a walk. ”

Kakashi left the house in a rage, looking back at his father, who was sitting alone in the hall, and the bowl that neither of them had touched.

The back was lifeless, and it seemed that the sentence had lost a lot of weight in the past few days.

Kakashi bit his lip and turned away.

But after leaving home, his tense anger gradually loosened into grievances.

He didn't understand why his father was suddenly so depressed.

Isn't it just a failed mission?

Moreover, it is obviously not so much a failure.

Isn't it the point of a companion to fail in a mission to save a companion?

But why did the village react so much, it seemed that everyone was blaming the father.

Once my father violated the law in order to save my sister Kushina, and he obviously won the support of so many people.

No, maybe the school is right.

Ninjas, they should focus on their tasks, even if they lose their companions, even if they lose their lives, they must do their best to complete them.

But if so, what's the difference between that and a machine?

Kakashi put himself in his shoes if his companion was in danger and had to abandon the mission.

If it were him, he would also make his father's choice.

But now the reaction in the village told him that this choice was wrong.

Even, it is unforgivable.

"Damn! Why don't you refute it?! ”

Kakashi clenched his fists tightly, both disappointed in his father and confused about the future.

In fact, as long as his father is willing to refute and tell him that it is right to save his companions, Kakashi is willing to believe it.

But my father's depression looked like he had been defeated.

He kicked the can at his feet, but felt the street fall silent.

Passers-by looked at this side in surprise.

They just heard the movement, curious and confused.

But at that glance, Kakashi seemed to see all kinds of doubts.

No, there are already doubts.

In the distance, a ninja whispered, pointing to his stark white hair as if to confirm his identity.

Kakashi dodged those lofty gazes, pointing fingers.

Rushing out of the street.

He walked in confusion and wandered in confusion.

Just like when Miya took him back to his new home in the Uchiha Mansion.

Unconsciously, he followed the familiar path to the Uchiha mansion.

The ordinary Uchiha clan in front of the Uchiha Mansion was already very familiar with Kakashi.

The old lady on the side of the street, who was about to close the stall, took out corn from the stove, "Kakashi-chan, come and see Miya-sama again?" Here, there's something to eat. ”

Kakashi took it sullenly, but didn't know what to say.

When the old lady was far away, he entered the Uchiha's house with the corn that had been cold.

It had been a while since he had seen Brother Miya's true body.

Brother Yuya seems to be getting busier and busier lately, no, he never stops being busy.

But Kakashi didn't know what Brother Miya was up to, but as his strength and knowledge grew, he vaguely felt that it was something that would not see the light of day.

Gradually, he didn't come often.

Occasionally practice with Brother Yuye's shadow clone.,And no longer begging my brother to take him to play.。

"Oh, it's Kakashi."

The voice of the Uchiha Miya came, and he seemed a little surprised.

Kakashi realized that he had walked to the door of his second home at some point, and looked inside.

"Hmmm......"

Kakashi took the corn, a little overwhelmed.

He looked inside, and Brother Miya was sitting in the middle of the courtyard, with a palm-sized box on the table.

He clearly saw that when Brother Yuya saw him, he stuffed a strange and tentacle-like black thread into it.

The black line seemed to be a living thing, and it was still bouncing around the box.

As Yuya patted the box, it quieted down.

This is the real Brother Night.

Kakashi easily concluded.

Only the real body of my brother will do experiments every day.

"Come here."

The night beckons and signs.

Kakashi took small steps to move over, and when he got closer, he noticed that the hand hadn't fallen, so he covered his forehead vigilantly.

Miya smiled, reached out and took the corn from Kakashi's hand, and gently broke it into two parts.

He unceremoniously ate half of it himself, and threw the other half back to Kakashi, "Didn't you eat dinner?" ”

Kakashi clutched his stomach and pouted without denial.

Seeing that Brother Yuya was eating well, he sat down and tried to eat something.

After Yu Ye finished eating, he clapped his hands and looked at him: "What, our Zhongnin has something on his mind?" ”

"Not really!"

Kakashi subconsciously retorted, took a bite of corn hard, and nodded weakly, he looked over curiously, "Brother Miya, do you say that the mission is important or the companion is important?" ”

Miya raised his hand and poked Kakashi's forehead: "Still saying you don't have anything to worry about?" Thinking about your father? ”

Kakashi rubbed his forehead and puffed out his unhappy look, "You haven't said it yet, which one is important?" ”

Yuye tilted his head to look at him: "The task is important. ”

Kakashi was stunned.

Miya continued, "Companions are also important. ”

Kakashi glared back without intimidation, "Brother Miya, you tease me!" ”

Yuye rubbed his head: "It's not me kidding you, it's someone else teasing you." ”

He tilted his head and half-lay on the rocking chair and looked at the sky: "Who is more important than whom, there is never a fixed number, and it is necessary to analyze specific things on a case-by-case basis." ”

"Your father, if you just think that he is doing the right thing to do, or that is the right thing to do, there will never be a correct answer."

Kakashi was confused, "However, the people in the village are saying that my father did something wrong, and it has caused serious consequences. ”

Yuya shook his head: "Trust your father, he has always been a man who dares to risk his life to complete the task. Why do you feel that he is on a mission and can't tell whether their lives are important or the mission is important? ”

Kakashi was even more confused: "But, everyone ——, Brother Oya, you mean, my father because he judged that this task was not worth the cost of his life to complete?" ”

Thinking about it, Kakashi seemed to have an idea.

Father is indeed a person who was killed from the battlefield, it is impossible that he has not faced the danger of his companions, if he is really a person who does not hesitate to lose all tasks for the sake of his companions, then where did so many military exploits come from on the battlefield?

It should be all life-saving medals.

But as he continued to think about it, he fell into a cycle of thinking again.

But if that's the case, why does Konoha say that his father is wrong from top to bottom?

Yuya patted him on the shoulder, pointing upwards.

Kakashi followed his finger and heard the voice of Brother Miya:

"If you can't understand something, learn to look up."

"Jump out of the problem, go up to it, look down at it, look down at the surroundings of it, and think about it."

Kakashi looked at the sky in confusion, but didn't know how to understand.

Suddenly, he saw the tallest building in Konoha - Hokage Rock.

His mind seemed to grasp a point where he could settle down.

So he closed his eyes and tried to pretend that he was standing on the Hokage Rock, overlooking all of Konoha.

Looking down on his tormented father, looking down on those who condemned him, listening to those harsh words.

He connected those negative complaints and accusations into a red line.

Those red threads were so entangled with my father that I couldn't breathe.

Kakashi's breath grew shorter, and he tried to follow the red threads to the source of the unknown to explain it all.

He couldn't find the source for a long time, and could only watch his father be swallowed up by the red thread little by little, and he couldn't breathe.

Why should fathers be treated like this?

Suddenly, the thought seemed to open Kakashi's train of thought.

Yes, the result now is that my father is being oppressed by bad words.

The reason for that reversal -

Is it the father's mission failure?

Is it the father's wrong choice?

So what if the father chooses to complete the task and abandon his companions?

But last time, my father got more support because he chose a companion.

He betrayed his choice, will the result be better than now?

So, no matter what my father does, in fact, the result will be the same as now, forced by rumors?!

So, the point is not whether the father is right or wrong, but that the father is being persecuted!

Kakashi opened his eyes suddenly, gasping frantically like a fish that had just been caught, his eyes frightened, "Brother Miya...... Why? Why did they do this to my father?! ”

Yu Ye said easily: "Because the teacher is an excellent inheritor of the will of fire. ”

Kakashi was puzzled, "Political enemies? ”

He stood up suddenly, "No, I have to tell Hokage-sama about this, my father obviously didn't do anything wrong, he must be able to understand!" ”

However, he turned around and had already taken a few steps.

There was no response behind him.

Kakashi looked back, and Guya was quietly looking at him.

That calm gaze made Kakashi panic for no apparent reason.

He swallowed hard before he suddenly reacted.

Yes, my father is an excellent inheritor of the Will of Fire, but in this village where the Will of Fire shines, why is he still slandered so much?

Why hasn't Hokage-sama justified his father's name until now?

Why is there more and more gossip now?

Kakashi was inexplicably dizzy.

He had a ridiculous, terrifying conjecture.

Could it be that the people sitting in the Hokage Building......

Kakashi covered his face, crying and laughing.

He suddenly understood.

Understand why my father's back looks so old.

I understand why my father is so depressed because of other people's evaluations.

Even, so lifeless.

Did my father, like myself, suddenly understand this fact?

Did my father suddenly find out that in this village where the will of fire shines...... Believing in the Will of Fire, he is just an outsider?

Kakashi's eyes glazed and he stumbled out of the Uchiha mansion.

He thought back to his father's back, to his father's emaciated face.

He wanted to go back and tell his father, yes, I know what's going on!

I know there are other reasons behind this.

Then tell the father: fuck Konoha! Why are we guarding it?

He was back in the street again, feeling someone pointing behind his back again.

Again, I heard someone talking about all kinds of Qimu Shuomao.

Suddenly, he stopped.

He looked back in astonishment, as if to confirm what he had just heard.

He heard that a new version of the rumor was already circulating on the street:

[That Hachiki Shuo Shigeru did not continue the mission, but was actually colluding with the rebel organization of the Land of Rain]

[Yes, think about why our daimyo is so angry, it's because Hachiki Sakushige deliberately didn't investigate]

[Then if he is like this, will the daimyo suspect that our Konoha has something to do with the rebel organization in Yuyin Village? 】

[Isn't it, even if he fails in the mission, he still affects our Konoha ......]

Kakashi stood stunned, looking around at the group of villagers with disgusted faces.

"Haha, haha!"

His face was contorted, and he burst into laughter, like a madman.
