Chapter 15: The Death of White Fang
The news of White Fang's suicide made Hinata Kaede feel a little sorry at most, and it couldn't affect his future plans.
But the high-level of Konoha felt anxious because of this matter, such as a high-end combat power like Qimu Shuomao, death is undoubtedly a major loss for the village.
And the cause of death of Qimu Shuomao was not death in battle, but death in gossip.
In addition to lamenting that Hachiki Shuoshige's mentality is too fragile, they can only hold an emergency meeting in the Hokage Building.
There were only four people who were able to attend the meeting, namely Sarutobi Hizashi, who was the third Hokage, Danzo, the leader of the root organization, and the assistant advisors Koharu and Mito Menyan.
After the meeting began, Ape Fei Ri first glanced at Tuanzang, and then said: "Everyone should know about Shuomao, right, calling everyone over is to discuss how to deal with this matter in the future."
In any case, Shuo Mao has made great contributions to the village over the years, but he died at home. ”
After hearing this, the faces of Koharu and Mito Menyan were also a little ugly, and the death of White Fang was beyond everyone's expectations, even the two of them were no exception.
At first, the dark department thought that it was Hagi Sakumo who was assassinated, but the assassination of Hagi Sakumo, I'm afraid that only the five shadows at the apex of the ninja world can do it, and it is difficult to guarantee success, and the rest may only be suicide.
Because he couldn't stand the final gossip in the village, he chose to commit suicide.
Not to mention anything else, sit back and watch the spread of gossip, these high-level leaders are absolutely inseparable from their involvement, there are always people who have to stand up and take responsibility for this, and they are not willing to take the blame.
Sarutobi had the same idea, and after a brief eye contact, Qi Qi looked at Danzang.
"This matter has nothing to do with the old man, and the old man also feels heartache for Baifang's suicide......"
After a pause, Tuan Zang said meaningfully: "And the prestige of the white fang can't threaten the status of the old man, and the old man can't become the fourth generation Hokage anyway." ”
Listening to Tuan Zang's intriguing words, Ape Fei Ri's face changed slightly, and he knew that this was a mockery of himself.
With the merits that White Fang has made over the years, if he wants to elect the fourth generation of Hokage, he is definitely the favorite in the election, but in his heart, he hopes that his three apprentices will be elected Hokage.
One of the three of them became the Hokage, and they would definitely help each other, and they didn't have to go through the embarrassing situation of taking over by themselves.
So those rumors almost got his acquiescence, the purpose was to suppress and suppress the sharp spirit of White Fang, and White Fang did cause the village to suffer serious losses this time, but the development of things was beyond his expectations.
After glaring at Tuan Zang fiercely, the meeting continued, in addition to appeasing the orphans of White Fang, it was to discuss how to calm down the turmoil caused by White Fang's death.
The villagers only lamented the death of Konoha White Fang, but a debate began among the ninjas about who was more important to the mission and the companions.
It's a ninja's duty to do whatever it takes to complete tasks and meet the needs of their employers, but Murako, who has been teaching him since he was a child, values his companion's will to fire, but now there is a violent conflict between the two because of the death of White Fang.
Not long after, the meeting ended with the final word of Sarutobi, and neither the advisory duo nor Danzou refuted Sarutobi.
Solved the mess left by the second generation Hokage, and led Konoha to victory in the Second Ninja War, and the third generation Hokage has unparalleled prestige in the village.
……
After the high-level shot, Hinata Kaede could clearly feel that public opinion was under control.
Not many people cared about White Fang's suicide anymore, instead of a debate about who was more important to the mission and his companions, no matter how powerful White Fang was in the past, but he was dead, and Konoha was not so weak that he couldn't function without White Fang.
After the formation and perfection of the ninja village system, the individual became less important.
Even the death of the first and second generations still didn't affect the current Konoha is still the most powerful ninja village.
Hinata Kaede, who is obsessed with improving his strength, has no interest in these arguments, but he has to admit that the trend of public opinion determines his future style of acting, and he must not show his unsociable side until he has enough confidence.
From the point of view of the ninja profession, completing missions is a priority over saving companions.
But the person who carried out the mission was a living person after all, and the Will of Fire occupied an important position in Ninja Village, so it is difficult to say which side of the voice will become the mainstream.
However, if he wants to become a medical ninja in the future, he should not need to face such a choice, whether it is the identity of a medical ninja or the clan, he will always be the priority of protection.
As a beneficiary of the caged bird system, Hinata Kaede felt that he was about to be corrupted by the identity of the Zong family.
After school in the afternoon, Hinata Kaede prepares to visit Maite Dai and receive guidance from Steelfist by the way.
Although he is already working on creating a ninja similar to a sniper rifle, it cannot be used as a conventional means of fighting the enemy, and most of the time on the way to the mission in the future will have to rely on physical skills.
Hinata Kaede didn't expect to learn any special secret techniques from Maite Dai, but in the future, he would inevitably not encounter an enemy of the Steel Fist Stream, and there was nothing wrong with doing more things in the future.
And White Fang, as one of the few people who can afford to look up to Maite Dai, his death will also make Teacher Dai sad.
On the way to Mait's house, Hinata Kaede bumps into Kakashi.
Unlike Kakashi, who was so energetic that he wanted to surpass his father, he now exudes sadness, sitting alone on the grass by the river with his back to him.
The father, who is almost omnipotent in his eyes, commits suicide because of rumors in the village.
For a ninja school-age child, it is undoubtedly an unacceptable heavy blow, and the possibility of self-isolation is extremely high from now on.
After noticing the footsteps behind him, Kakashi slowly turned around and looked at Kaede Hinata, who was quietly approaching.
Hinata Kaede covered up the embarrassment of being found with a smile, wanting to open his mouth to comfort, but he didn't know how to comfort him, he had very little communication with Kakashi when he was in ninja school, and now they are strangers who know each other.
However, after seeing Kakashi's calm and dazed face, Hinata Kaede sighed in her heart.
If Kakashi had shown an angry or sad expression, he might have been able to get out of the blow as soon as possible, but now he was clearly unwilling to communicate with others, forming a gap between himself.
If he was a fool, it would be easy to do, and this is the time when he needs to bring the kind of fool with him.
It's a pity that he's not stupid, and his study of medical ninjutsu has also affected him, and he's become more and more indifferent, but with Kakashi out of the haze, he's bound to gain a wave of favor and strengthen the character of the successor of the Will of Fire.
Just when Hinata Kaede was having trouble choosing, he saw an emerald green figure passing by in the distance.
