"There's a shadow of that guy at the root."

Yayoi Kagura's eyes were skeptical, and he found several anomalous chakras on the street.

They have a strength comparable to that of Shangnin, but at the moment, they are lurking in the crowd to spread negative news about Shuomao.

"Leave it to the security department, and we'll go to Teacher Shuomao's house to have a look."

Yayoi directly controlled them with an illusion, and then split a shadow clone and ran to contact the Uchiha Security Department, while the main body and Flame immediately ran towards Shuo Shige's home.

This kind of thing is undoubtedly the most important thing to make the person concerned.

As a hero who guards them, he was criticized by the population of his own village, which is undoubtedly a heart-wrenching theory.

And Mr. Shuomao, Yayoi knows him very well.

He is strong-willed, but also very vulnerable, and can be cold-blooded and ruthless in the face of enemies, but when this subject becomes his own.

That, perhaps, is the time for collapse.

.........

"Teacher Shuomao, open the door."

Yayoi knocked on the door, but there was no response.

So he waited for another minute, and in the past, Teacher Shuo Mao would come over within a minute, but at this moment, there was no one to be seen.

He frowned, and flew in directly with the wind with the flames.

The empty courtyard seemed a little lonely, with only a child picking up leaves.

"Kakashi."

Yayoi said softly, and the kid who picked up the leaves also turned his head and looked at Yayoi innocently.

Three-year-old Kakashi can already speak, walk, and even play on his own in this magical world with chakra, without worrying about dying.

Although Yayoi has not been here many times in the past year, the growth of children is already slow, and Yayoi can be regarded as a person who has watched Kakashi grow up all the way.

So Kakashi didn't get scared when he saw Yayoi, and just threw the leaves away and ran over.

"Where's your dad?"

Yayoi crouched down, smiled, and rubbed Kakashi's head.

"In the house, Dad hasn't come out for a day, I'm hungry, so I will find small insects to eat as you once said."

Kakashi said simply.

“.......”

"That's what I'm teasing you, wait for me for a while, let Sister Yan take you something to eat first, okay?"

Yayoi said helplessly.

"Leave it to me, Yayoi."

Yayoi put Kakashi down, and Kakashi tried to run, but Flame grabbed his clothes and dragged him up.

"Little Kakashi, be good, or my sister will spank you."

As if thinking of something, a hint of fear appeared in the eyes of the young Kakashi's salted fish.

After grabbing Kakashi, the two glanced at each other, and they also saw each other's guesses.

It seems that the worst has happened, and Mr. Shuomao has been hit.

You can figure this thing out with your head, it's just just pouring dirty water, just don't show up, just don't care about it.

Why didn't Danzou use this trick against Yayoi.

Because Yayoi doesn't care, he even worries about whether he will catch the handle and be found with a backhand.

And this trick seems to be much more effective against Shuomao, because they control your psychology.

I bullied you, beat you, suppressed you, what can you do with me?

You're going to report the Hokage?

Okay, I apologize, okay.

And then, none of that will change.

Shuo Mao is the inheritor of the will of pure fire, he is a person who lives in his ideals and constantly fights for the ideals in his heart.

But such people are different.

Without the support of the family, there is no mentorship from the Hokage line.

All he can represent is the support of the common people, and this item is actually the most useless.

Yayoi opened the door, and the sunlight shone in but did not shine on the white-haired figure in the corner.

"Yayoi"

As if sensing the light, Shuo Mao raised his head and looked at the figure in front of the door.

Yayoi looked at the slump in front of him, as if he was in despair, and did not motivate the other party.

He just sat across from Shuo Mao in silence, silent with Shuo Mao.

After a long time, Yayoi spoke.

"What happened?"

"The mission failed."

"Because of what?"

"Saved my companions, I gave up the mission."

"You know, it's probably a plot by the group or the higher-ups.

They have chosen you and used you as a breakthrough point to weaken your influence. ”

Yayoi looked at the depressed Shuo Mao and suppressed his anger and said.

He could sense that Shuomao's chakra had weakened.

Chakra is created by the combination of the spiritual and physical forces of man.

That is, the strength of a person's spirit also determines the strength of Chakra, which is why some ninjas break out in a desperate situation.

In other words, as long as there is a strong belief and conviction, the strength of that ninja will also have a power far beyond that of its peers.

But at this moment, Shuomao's chakra has weakened.

Compared to the original solidified thousands of troops, now it looks like a routed deserter.

"Of course, I know, I know."

Shuo Mao just kept his head down and kept repeating.

"Then why are you doing this, look at you like this."

Looking at the repetition of Shuo Shige, Yayoi's emotions seemed to be irrepressible any longer, as if he was carrying a storm and a raging fire.

"They're nothing more than clowns, they're rotting leaves, rotting rhizomes.

You are a hero, you should stand in the light, why would you rather run away than stand up! ”

"Does it really matter?"

Shuo Mao laughed.

"Important?"

Yayoi froze, not understanding why.

"The will of fire, the will of fire, my will of fire is the meaning of my existence."

Shuo Mao's voice was hoarse, like a silent roar.

"I have killed countless enemies, persevered in training, and ruthlessly killed those unarmed innocents."

"Every time I face an enemy, anyone who stands in my way will be mercilessly killed by me."

"It's my lifelong belief, it's my raison d'être."

"But now, tell me, this will of fire is just a tool."

Shuo Mao raised his head, his face full of vicissitudes of life, and he was at a loss.

He didn't know how to face the village he had lived in all his life.

Ask the village for an explanation, draw a knife and cut down the group, despise the higher-ups, or simply turn them back.

But what's the point?

He was deprived of the meaning of his life, and his will was a tool in the eyes of others.

It was as if his past had been completely buried.

As Shuo Mao, who thinks he has inherited the will of fire, he seems to have become an outlier.

In this village that advertises the Will of Fire, the greatest Hokage doesn't care about the Will of Fire.

"The time of the day."

Shuo Mao suppressed and raised his fingers.

"I've convinced myself countless times that the next moment Hokage-sama will stop them, and I'll be cleared.

Maybe Hokage-sama just forgot about it and remembered it soon.

But no, how ridiculous my belief is. ”

Shuo Mao couldn't bear it anymore and began to cry bitterly.

He didn't want to show this gesture in front of his disciples, but the cold reality finally extinguished his blood.

After waiting quietly for a day, Shuo Shigeru knew that Hokage-sama had known for a long time.

But every minute and every second seemed like torment to him, until now he finally understood.

The reason for his life's struggle became a tool for others.

The reason why he once wielded a knife to slash the enemy, the belief is a complete joke.
