Chapter 8: Becoming a Political Victim.

At the end of the meal, Kakashi wasn't very happy.

It's not because Qimu Shuomao has something to hide from him, but he simply doesn't like Qimu Shuomao's cooking skills.

Qimu Shuomao also knew about this, but he didn't care.

"Kakashi, what do you think a ninja looks like?"

"Accept orders, perform tasks, complete tasks." Kakashi Hachiki replied without thinking.

"True, but that's not all there is to a ninja." Hachiki Sakumo nodded, then shook his head again, "Only when you reach a certain position will you realize that ninjas are not pure. ”

"I didn't understand this before, I always thought that completing the mission was the ultimate goal of a ninja, but after I put on the Hokage sleeve, I realized that a ninja is just a tool to meet the needs of the superiors."

"This ......"

Kakashi's calm face rippled, and this argument completely subverted the education he had received before, and his previous persistence was violently shocked.

"I know it's too early for you, but just because I don't say it doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Qimu Shuomao sighed, "The taste of Konoha has changed now, especially in peacetime, and the struggle for power has become the main theme. ”

"But the will of fire...... That's not true! Kakashi Hachiki's three views are showing signs of collapse, "Isn't our desperation all for the sake of the village?!" ”

"There's nothing wrong with the Will of Fire, there's nothing wrong with raising the butcher's knife for the sake of the village, it's the person who controls the Will of Fire that's wrong, and something is wrong with him." It is already clear that Sakumo Hagi said this, "Many ninjas are no longer simply performing tasks and completing tasks, but have more political attributes and faction divisions. ”

"One side belongs to the three generations, and the other side belongs to the advisory faction headed by the three Shimura Danzo, and I ......," Hachiki Sakushige laughed at himself, "It's just a target erected by the three generations in order to divert internal contradictions." ”

"It can't be!" Kakashi Kakashi stood up abruptly, pointing at Sakushige's fingers trembling slightly, "Father, you can become a candidate for the next Hokage, isn't it all because of your contribution to the village, how can you say that about yourself!" ”

"Don't be stupid, brother." Akira Hagi reached out and patted Kakashi's arm, "Also, you can't point to your father like that anyway. ”

Akira Hachiki pulled Kakashi back to the ground, then reached out and turned his silver hair into a chicken coop.

"Stupid brother, you shouldn't know that war is just an extension of politics, and the so-called thinking is only a kind of political correctness, which has nothing to do with who is the maker."

Seeing Kakashi Hagi fall into silence again, Akira Hachiki withdrew his hand.

"Do you know why the three generations of Hokage chose their father to be the candidate for the next Hokage?"

"Why?" Kakashi Hachiki looked at Akira Hachiki.

"Because the Qimu clan is thin, there is an obvious gap between the family strength and the family's political influence, and other families in the village."

"But what does this have to do with my father becoming the next Hokage candidate?" Kakashi Hachiki couldn't turn around for a while, "Such an obvious disadvantage is enough to show that my father-sama can only become a candidate by relying on his own merits!" ”

"You, you still only see the surface." Akira Hagi shook his head, "Father's merits are only part of the story, and the reason why he really became the next Hokage candidate is because the Hagi family is weak. ”

"Is that so, Father?" Kakashi Hachiki looked at Sakumo Hachiki again.

"It's exactly as Ming said." Hagi Sakumo nodded, "Because the Hagi family's power is thin and easier to control, I have the ability to suppress the three shinobi and become the owner of the Hokage Sleeve." ”

"But the third generation Hokage-sama ...... Why? And what do you mean by "target" just now? ”

"It's all so straightforward, you still don't understand?" Akira Hagi was somewhat speechless, Kakashi's political sensitivity was too low.

"Then brother will tell you to make it clear.,"Target" means victim.,In order to settle the internal contradictions in the village.,Or the contradictions between him and Shimura Danzo.,Treat your father as a pawn.。 ”

"In the battle for the position of Hokage, no matter whether my father succeeds or fails, it will not have any impact on the three generations of Hokage." Qi Mu Ming's face was gloomy, "If my father fails and dies, Konoha still has three ninjas, which is completely enough to carry Konoha's banner; If his father succeeds in becoming the next Hokage, he will also be constrained by the purpose of three generations because the Hachiki family is weak. ”

Akira Hagi's in-depth analysis of the words made Kakashi Hachiki completely lose himself, and he lowered his head and froze in place, not knowing what to think.

And Qimu Shuomao looked at Qimu Ming with a smile, and his eyes were full of relief.

If one day he is gone, Akira Hachiki can take good care of Kakashi Hachiki and the entire Hachiki family.

"But my father...... Three generations of Hokage-sama did this...... What is it for, exactly? ”

After a while, Kakashi Hachiki raised his head again, with a little confusion in his eyes, and even more loss.

"He can't do anything to some people." Qimu Shuomao sighed, "At the same time, he can't let go of the power in his hands. ”

"Are they the three advisors of Konoha?" Kakashi Hachiki seemed to have an enlightenment, and suddenly asked the point.

"Yes, it's the three advisors of Konoha." Hachiki Shuomao nodded, "When the third generation took over the position of Hokage, the prestige among the people was not enough, and the Sarufei clan at that time was not a big clan, so it was difficult to suppress the internal opposition. ”

"Therefore, Shimura Danzo, Zhuan Koharu, and Mito Menyan, who are also members of the second generation of the Shadow Guard, were promoted by the third generation to assist him in controlling Konoha."

"But when the three generations sat firmly in the position of Hokage and won the war, there were divisions within the village, forming the main battle hawks led by Shimura Danzo, and the main and doves led by the three generations."

"Although there is a huge disparity in the power between the two, for some political considerations, the third generation did not purge the Shimura Danzo faction, but chose to let it go."

"Until now, the power of Shimura Danzo's subordinates is growing stronger and stronger, and they have always been undead to the position of the Hokage, and internal friction has become inevitable......"

"In this case, Miyome chose me and made me the next Hokage candidate as a way to divert Shimura's attention."

"As long as I'm safe and sound, Shimura Danzo's eyes will only be on me, and temporarily give up the dumping of other people inside Konoha to minimize the loss of Konoha internal friction."

Hachiki Shuomao's words made Kakashi Hachiki suddenly wake up, and his eyes lost the brilliance of the past, and some were full of disappointment.

At one time, he thought that Konoha, under the guidance of the Will of Fire, would unite and fight for a better tomorrow.

But reality gave Kakashi a hammer, letting him know that towering trees also have shade, and where the sun doesn't shine, there will not only be shadows, but also darkness.
