Xia Yan said with a smile, "No need, we are more accustomed to freedom, and I don't think they want to enter Konoha Village and put themselves in shackles."

"What do you mean?"

Uchiha Fugaku's face sank.

Yoke?

"It's literal, don't you understand?" Xia Yan's eyes rolled and said, "Obviously, Konoha Village was jointly established by the Uchiha clan and the Thousand Hands clan, but until now, no one from the Uchiha clan has sat on the Hokage's seat."

Walking alone on the way back to the village, Xia Yan's words still echoed in his mind.

No, no, no, now that the Uchiha clan is in charge of the authority of the Konoha garrison, there is a lot to do, and the fourth generation of Hokage, the Uchiha clan, may not be able to fight.

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku made up his mind to run for the fourth generation Hokage because of Natsuhiko's words!

……

The bonfire burned more and more.

"Are you awake?"

Xia Yan held a wooden stick and stirred the embers next to the bonfire, and said lightly.

Qimu Shuomao was motionless, but he had already opened his eyes.

The skin on his body was still very stiff and frozen, and he tried to get up, but after finding that he couldn't do it for the time being, he resigned himself to his fate.

You can hear this voice, but you can't see the true face of this man.

"I... Still alive.. Going?"

Qimu Shuomao opened his mouth and said with difficulty.

"yes, how does it feel to die?"

An indescribable look flashed in Qimu Shuomao's eyes.

"That's an unpleasant feeling."

After death, he felt that he had come to a place of chaos and confusion, and it was foggy everywhere and he couldn't see clearly.

He was the only one who roamed like a walking corpse, unable to see anything nearby.

After a long time, the concept of time is lost, as if there is only oneself in this world.

The only two words that come to my heart are loneliness.

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Xia Yan, and I am your son's current master."

Xia Yan said lightly.

Qimu Shuomao's eyes moved slightly, "It's.. Is it? Kakashi has worked so hard for you to take care of you."

After a while, his vocal cords recovered a bit, and he was able to speak more clearly.

"Your son is really like an ice cube, and your suicide has caused a lot of shadows on him!"

Xia Yan complained.

Qimu Shuomao wanted to smile bitterly, but the expression on his face was not well controlled, he just twitched slightly, and he couldn't make a bitter smile at all.

"I'm sorry for him."

Qimu Shuomao muttered.

To be honest, he hadn't thought about what Kakashi would think before he committed suicide.

Now from the mouths of the bystanders, it seems that his death has caused a lot of damage to Kakashi.

"He's become more withdrawn now, he doesn't talk much at all, like a piece of wood, and more importantly, the way you handle the mission directly affects him."

Natsuhiko's eyes flashed slightly, he was going to let Hachiki Sakushige contact Kakashi first to see if he could remove the shadow in Kakashi's heart?

If you can, it's easy.

Seeing that Qimu Shuomao was silent, Xia Yan continued, "I'd rather give up the mission than rescue my companions, right? I have to say that your choice is not wrong, but the mistake is that you chose to commit suicide and choose to escape."

Natsuhiko shook his head and said, "Now Kakashi thinks that your way of handling it is wrong, and now that he has completed the task, he must only care about the task in his eyes, and not the life of his companion, right?"

Xia Yan's words were like a sharp knife, slashing at Qimu Shuomao's flesh one by one.

The body doesn't feel pain, but the heart doesn't.

For Kakashi, he has always placed a lot of expectations on him, hoping that he will grow up healthy, that he will become an upright person, and that he will become an excellent ninja in Konoha Village.

But......

He doesn't seem to be setting a good example himself.

After committing suicide and going to that place, he thought about it a lot.

It's just a failed mission, and he was bitten back by his companions and criticized by the villagers.

He didn't survive, and he was disappointed in Konoha Village and chose to die......

Looking back now, what a stupid decision I made!

"Kakashi will be coming over soon, have you figured out how to meet him, he doesn't know you're alive yet."

Sakumo struggled to get up from the ground.

"What are you doing?"

"I can't see him yet."

Hachiki Shuomao gasped.

It was a struggle for him to get up from the ground.

Can't see him? Are you kidding.

Natsuhiko's eyes widened, he was planning to let Hachiki Shuo Shigeru contact Kakashi to see if he could touch the shadow in his heart.

Sakumo Hagi doesn't see Kakashi, so how can he be tempted?

"He's your son, huh? Don't you see?"

Xia Yan still wanted to persuade him, but Qimu Shuomao had already made up his mind.

"I want to see how Kakashi carried out his mission, please, please don't tell Kakashi that I'm still alive."

Hachiki Shuo Mao pleaded with difficulty.

"This ......"

Natsuhiko quickly reacted, "Do you want to see Kakashi perform the mission with your own eyes and then help him correct it?"

"That's right, I want to surprise him and make amends for my mistakes."

You're a surprise, you're frightening him.

Xia Yan complained in his heart.

Kakashi personally watched the burial of Sakumo Hachiki, and if he was on a mission, Sakumo Hachiki suddenly jumped out, probably his first reaction was to think that he had fallen into the enemy's illusion, right?

But Hagi Shuomao was so resolute, and there was nothing he could do.

Although he saved people, his legs grew on people's bodies.

He has no other gods who can change his will, and he can't control the actions of Hachiki Sakushige.

Forcibly controlling him will only make Hachiki Sakushige disgusted with himself.

It's not a good thing to provoke a shadow-level powerhouse.

"Okay, but are you going back to the village?"

Xia Yan asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

Qimu Shuomao was silent for a while, and said, "No, that village ...... I don't want to go back."

"And where are you going?"

"The heavens and the earth are big, and you can go anywhere."

Hachiki Sakumo sighed and said, "Before that, I'm going to correct Kakashi's problem myself. It's not about the task that comes first, it's the companions that are more important."

Although he was bitten back by his saved companion, Sakumo Hagi still did not change his mind of being the first in his class and the second in the task.

"In that case, I can help you."

Xia Yan's eyes lit up.

Since Sakumo Hachiki wants to help Kakashi solve this problem, then he can also use the father and son meeting to remove the shadow in Kakashi's heart.

What is the shadow in Kakashi's heart?

Didn't you just see your father commit suicide because of this little thing?

Hachiki Shuomao is willing to take the initiative to solve this matter, so he can also cooperate from it.

"Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Natsuhiko."
