Chapter 17: Physically and mentally exhausted Qimu Shuomao.
Squeak.
With a soft sound, the bedroom door was pulled open, and Sakumo Hagi returned.
"Father, it's just a person, why has it been delayed for so long?"
Qi Muming was already able to sit up, and he didn't look up at this time while he was holding a book to study.
"I just discussed some things with Ye Naiyu." Qimu Shuomao walked up to Qimu Ming and sat down, "Lie down first, let me give you some ointment." β
"I don't dare use what she gave." Qimu Ming snapped the book and looked at Qimu Shuomao with a solemn face, "Father, do you know her true identity?" β
"Nonoyu?" Qimu Shuomao was stunned, "It's just a shinobi in the medical class, what special identity can he have?" β
"She's the best spy in the roots!" Qi Muming's face was gloomy, "Although this incident does not rule out accidentality, it does not rule out the possibility of conspiracy. β
Glancing at Qi Mu Ming, Qi Mu Shuomao lowered his head and thought about it, then reached out and patted Qi Mu Ming's shoulder.
"Ming, I know you're worried about me, but it's better to talk less about this kind of baseless thing in the future."
"But ......"
"No, but!" Hachiki Shuo Mao interrupted Hachiki Ming, "Yakushi Nonoyu is indeed careful, but she is not here for me and the Hachiki clan, but to raise funds for the orphanage. β
"An orphanage?" Qimu Ming was stunned, and then asked Qimu Shuomao, "Then before she came, did you know her true identity, father?" β
"I know a little bit...... "Although I don't know much, I can tell that she used to work in that department." β
"Then father, ...... you" Qi Mu Ming was a little impatient, "Why don't you watch out!" β
"It didn't work." Qimu Shuomao's face showed tiredness, "Ming, I know that you were born smart and have helped me a lot before, but I still don't want you to be exposed to these dirty things. β
"But that's how we used to talk about it!" Qi Muming was really anxious this time, "Father, you are talking about this at this time...... Did you encounter something? β
"There's nothing special, it's just that I'm tired...... "Hachiki Shuoshige's mental state is not the same as before, "I'm tired of this kind of life......"
The father and son suddenly fell silent, and Qi Mu Akira also realized the seriousness of the problem.
Sakumo Hachiki is a very simple ninja, and his belief has always been for Konoha that he will not hesitate to be born or die.
But now he is a candidate for the position of Hokage...... There are many things that I can't help myself, and I want to change but can't do it.
He couldn't accept the current Konoha, and he couldn't let go of his former original intention, and the internal intrigue made Qimu Shuomao slowly lose himself.
"Father, have you thought about the consequences if you give up now?" Qimu Ming asked in a deep voice.
"I've thought about it." Hachiki Sakumo nodded, "The worst outcome is that I will bear it all my might, and it won't affect you or Kakashi too much...... Maybe even because of me, the three generations will soften their hearts and protect you and Kakashi well. β
Hearing Qimu Shuomao say this, Qimu Ming's heart has sunk to the bottom, and the last thing he wants to see happens.
"Are you going to give up?"
"Sort of." Hachiki Shuo Shigeru nodded, "After a while, I will ask the three generations to resign and carry out my various tasks with peace of mind, and the future of Konoha will be handed over to the younger generation." β
Hachiki Sakumo's words were full of weakness and depression, "The Hachiki family has you, the family and Kakashi don't need me to worry, although it's a little irresponsible, but ......"
"No but!" Akira Hachiki stood up suddenly, "You can be cowardly, you can be discouraged, but please don't pin your hopes for the future on me and Kakashi!" And also...... Don't be so naΓ―ve! β
Somewhat irritable, and somewhat angry, how could such an excellent ninja as Hachiki Shuomao be smoothed out in the political struggle?
"I know what you're going through is different from what you thought you were going to be, and even if you're disheartened now, don't give up at this time." Qi Mu Ming's words were slightly softer, "Since you don't want to struggle in the whirlpool of politics, father, then...... Just let me do it. β
Qimu Ming and Qimu Shuomao have been getting along day and night for more than six years, and they have basically figured out Qimu Shuomao's temperament and character.
"Ming, you want to ......"
"I'm thinking very simply, even if you want to quit now, you have to find someone you like who can lead Konoha out of the inner quagmire.
I know you're afraid that if you fail, you'll implicate me and Kakashi, but there are many things that don't mean you can quit if you want to, and even if you want to, you have to wait for the right time.
Obviously, now is not a good time, and there is no reason for you to want to quit, and it is even more unlikely that the third generation will agree, unless ......"
"Unless what?" Hachiki Shuo Shigeru spoke quickly, which showed that he was really tired of the political turmoil within Konoha.
"You did something wrong, and it's something that's excusable but unforgivable......"
Akira Akira thought of the fuse that led to Aki Shuomao's suicide, and if Akiki Shuomao's psychological counseling could be strengthened, there might be a best of both worlds in the future.
And through today's conversation, Qimu Ming has realized that Qimu Shuomao's mind has shown signs of extremism.
To put it bluntly, after seeing the darkness, he felt hopeless, or he had a sense of powerlessness and self-blame, and what happened later undoubtedly magnified these negative emotions, and finally made him go to the end of his life in a very shameful way.
But fortunately, today Qimu Shuomao confided in Qimu Ming, so that he was prepared in advance.
This is due to the impression of youth and old age left by Akira Akira Aki in Akira Akira Aki Akira Akira Aki
It can be said that in the past, the cause and effect of today, Qi Muming's previous efforts were not in vain.
"This ...... It feels hard. β
"It's not hard." Qi Muming shook his head, "Although you rarely go out on missions now, no one can say what will happen in the future, and the opportunity will come." β
"I hope so......" Hachiki Sakumo sighed, "Ming, do you think your father is a failure." β
"Nope." Akira Hachiki smiled, "Your ambition is not here, the blade of "Konoha White Fang" is aimed at the enemy, not at your own people, I can understand the struggle in your heart.
Instead of feeling like you're a failure, I'm going to think you're pure, a truly great ninja! β
This was said from the bottom of his heart, and at that time, Hachiki Shuo Shigeru chose to commit suicide, which also meant to protect Kakashi Hachiki.
When the Hokage, Hachiki Sakumo is definitely not qualified, but as a father, Hachiki Sakumo is obviously a big step beyond the qualification line.
"Thank you, Ming." Qimu Shuomao smiled, "Then you tell me, what should I do in the future?" β
"Let your heart be ruthless!" Akira Hachiki narrowed his eyes, "If the internal tumor is not removed, not only will there be a lot of messy things in the future, but it will also endanger me and Kakashi."
Since my father doesn't want to go into politics, it's always okay to be a knife, and I've already chosen allies for my father, so he won't turn Konoha into a miasma like Sarutobi and Shimura Danzo! β
"You're talking about ......"
"Bo Feng Shuimen!" Qi Mu Ming said word by word.
