In the afternoon, the Hokage's office may be backlit, but it looks a little dim and muddy under the big day.

It's like Seiichi Uchiha's brain right now.

From Kakashi finding himself to confiding the truth in the water gate at this moment.

Everything that happened in this short period of time made him. It feels unreal.

When the words Uchiha Shisui defected appeared in Seiichi's mind.

His first reaction was actually relaxed.

Because the water did not die, nor did it fall on the battlefield where it should not have fallen.

This means that no matter what really happens, there is still room for redemption.

There is only the word 'death', a barrier that even he Seiichi Uchiha and even Madara Uchiha cannot cross.

As long as you're not dead, everything is still possible.

But then, when his brain really ran out of the meaning of these words, it was like his head was confused.

"Stop the water. Defected? ”

Don't play such jokes on me, okay?"

Seiichi, who threw down his mask to show his determination, had an expression on his face at the moment that seemed to be crying and laughing and like incredible, showing an extremely distorted and incomprehensible face.

Uchiha stops water. This guy who will expose his hole cards to Konoha and is willing to use the once-in-a-decade god to 'convince' the patriarch not to rebel

How can it have anything to do with the word defection?

It means that the dark team where the water stop is almost completely wiped out is the hand that stops the water?

How can it be!

That guy can't even be ruthless in his enemies!

There must be something wrong with this!

Seiichi's appearance made Deshuimen also take a deep breath: "I also feel incredible about this information, in my impression, Zhishui-kun will never be this kind of person." ”

"Fang Cai, I am also discussing this matter with the mountain owl seniors."

"But Seiichi"

Watergate's face at this time was also calm, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"This information was also brought back by the ninjas of the shadows who forgot to die, and I can't make a judgment about it based on my impression alone."

Of course, he knew that such a slick statement would not impress this stubborn teenager.

In the eyes of Watergate.

Valuing friendship and caring about companions. This is by no means a disadvantage.

Rather, this is even the reason why Watergate is willing to 'let Gosei' Uchiha do something wrong, so that he still turns a blind eye to international issues.

The world of ninjas is brutal and chaotic.

What binds the world together is not love and peace, but hatred.

Therefore, as long as Uchiha Seiichi has the motivation for his actions, it is in the importance of his companions and the care of the village.

Then Watergate will choose to forgive him, or be willing to give him time.

No one is perfect, and it is impossible for a person to be perfect in all his life.

Even though there are many improprieties in the behavior, this inappropriateness is also a proof of the 'new life'.

This kind of 'change' that does not stick to the old situation is the hope for the possibility of existence in the ninja world.

If it is when, the newborn child is born with a smooth appearance, does not deviate from the rules in the slightest, and becomes a completely 'obedient' good child.

Then I'm afraid that the time has really come for humans to be finished.

Because this ninja world has been such a tragic state of endless fighting since all the reminiscent ancient times.

If the new people do not change, then this world of endless strife will prove to be hopeless and never-ending.

And Seiichi Uchiha is a child with possibilities in the eyes of Mizumon.

The moment when he couldn't trust Seiichi the most was when Seiichi used 'revenge' as the source of all power.

But now he has seen it.

Seiichi Uchiha's 'revenge' is by no means like a child smashing everything indiscriminately.

His revenge is extremely 'measured'.

Although his proportions made Watergate several times extraordinarily hesitant and hesitant.

But he also proved it.

Seiichi Uchiha deserves to be trusted by Watergate, and he is also worthy of Watergate's care for him.

But.

This does not mean that Seiichi will be anything 'special'.

"Regarding this matter, since the information brought by the mountain owl is only the person who takes over the baton, we still don't know everything, so I won't hunt down the Uchiha Shisui as a traitor."

"All of this will have to wait until the dark part who is still in a coma awakens before there can be further confirmation."

Watergate's assertion is extremely ambiguous, but it is also extremely official.

If the dark man still insisted that Uchiha's defection was a fact after he woke up, then Mizuto would not have avoided it because of Shisui or Seiichi's specialness.

"Wait until . That dark part of the body awakens and then argues? What about stopping water? ”

"Is it because we have to wait until we confirm that Zhishui is not a traitor, and then we can't start a rescue?"

"When that happens, what are we going to look for?"

"Corpses!"

"When the time comes, will his name be engraved on that memorial monument? Finished?! ”

Seiichi's emotions were agitated, as if he had seen some kind of deepest and most hated scene again.

He has tasted the 'loss' enough to be unforgettable.

The loss of the past cannot be returned, and he is willing to take it as the punishment of the mad demon at the beginning.

But!

Seiichi Uchiha refused to continue losing.

Mizumon shook his head and reassured: "No, no matter what the mountain owl said is true, it doesn't matter if Uchiha stops the water or defects, or if there is some unexpected situation that causes a miscalculation."

"For the missing companions, Konoha will not sit idly by."

But after such beautiful words came out, Watergate's heart was even more difficult.

He sighed deeply:

"It's just that the task carried out by the squad where Zhishui is located is a difficult task to go deep behind enemy lines on the battlefield."

"Even if Konoha wants to send a search and rescue team. It's not realistic. ”

Only when you really sit in the position of Hokage will you fully understand that many things can not be carried out with just good intentions.

Konoha needs to recuperate, and the war-weariness of the village, whether it is the major ninjas or ordinary ninjas, has reached its peak at this time.

It is impossible for Mizumon to mobilize again for the sake of a Uchiha water stop, and strive to completely eliminate the invasion of the fog on the coast.

And as long as the attack force on the eastern coast of Wuyin still exists, the large-scale dispatch of search and rescue teams is likely to send their companions into the tiger's mouth of the ambush of Wuyin.

In terms of hostage tactics, Wu Yin is also quite adept.

After all, compared to the 'Will of Fire' shouted by Konoha Village, the Land of Fire, the Fog Hidden Village practiced the path of a true 'ninja' that even Danzo recognized.

Don't say that it would be despicable to take the life of an enemy as a hostage.

Pursuing the policy of the Blood Mist, the fog can not even care about the lives of his companions.

Even its 'graduation ceremony' is to let all the children who are still students engage in a scuffle and slaughter in the cage, and the one who can survive the siege will be a qualified 'Mist Hidden Ninja'.

Such a bloody way of trial can be said to be completely contrary to Konoha in terms of the subject's will, which emphasizes companionship and cooperation.

It is for this reason that it is extremely difficult to interact or negotiate with this country that is not on the main road.

Even if the Konoha army pressed the realm and burned the Fog Hidden Ninja Village to the ground. The countless shattered islands around it have also become an excellent shelter for the ninjas of the fog to retreat.

It is impossible to completely eradicate the fog.

Wuyin also took advantage of the fact that the mainland countries did not have the experience and supply needs of crossing the sea, so it was impossible to really capture the water country.

It will always launch invasions against other coastal countries with its not strong national strength.

It is true that they covet the land of the main road, but in the case that other great powers have not declined, the so-called dignified fog is actually just the style of the 'pirates'.

As long as the mainland countries relax their vigilance, they will occupy and loot the coastal villages like locusts, and even if Konoha takes back the land later, it is impossible to send a large number of troops to garrison the coast for a long time.

Because there has never been more than one fog that covets the land of fire.

The situation of being surrounded by enemies on all sides makes Konoha always passive in the face of the attack of the fog hidden, and it can also be said that the fog is the one who occupies the active right to fight.

In this way, whether it is to capture or rescue the Uchiha who is behind enemy lines, it will be so difficult.

In order to stop the water of the Uchiha, launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the fog?

Then I'm afraid that before other countries take this opportunity to sneak attack the Fire Country, the already restless family forces in the village will raise their heads and knock down the unstable foundation of the Water Gate.

These things are practical, and they don't need to be told by Watergate.

With his sensitivity to the country's geography and the politics of the village, he would not fail to see all this.

But Chengyi clenched his fists and was still unwilling.

"Uchiha Shisui will never be a traitor, never"

It was as if he had fallen into a daze, and he couldn't extricate himself for a long time.

"Even if one day Seiichi Uchiha becomes Konoha's enemy, Shisui won't be."

"Looks like you trust him more than I thought."

In the end, Watergate still didn't stubbornly ignore the young man in front of him.

He sighed heavily: "Okay, I issued you a special mission to search and rescue the Uchiha Shisui, allowing you to gather members to investigate and search on your own." ”

"But this time, you can't take Obito with you."

Seiichi pursed his lips slightly: "I understand." ”

It's not that Watergate is afraid that these two little ghosts will attack the city again.

But among the Konoha trees, there is a clear ability to restrain the tailed beast, which is Mu Dun and Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye.

To be on the safe side, until Konoha and Shouhe really reach a friendly and cooperative relationship, it is best that these two young people with kaleidoscope writing wheels should not leave the village.

After all, no one can guarantee that without the strength of the pillar, the black tea kettle's seal on Shouhe will be somewhat stable.

It's not that Watergate is not confident in whether its own strength can suppress the Tailed Beast.

Rather, he could not guarantee in the course of the repression. Does not cause additional damage to Konoha.

What's more, this hot potato was originally brought back to Konoha by Seiichi Uchiha himself.

If you really want to talk about it, it is a great mercy that Watergate did not let him deal with this big trouble by himself with Shouheguan.

Now he is willing to let him go out of the village for search and rescue in the name of righteousness, which can also be said to be the greatest understanding and concession of Watergate.

After a few moments, Seiichi's mind finally calmed down.

He bowed slightly towards the water gate and said sincerely:

"Thank you Lord Watergate for your understanding, I will complete this matter as soon as possible."

Watergate shook his head: "Safety first, you should understand that such an aimless search and rescue is not very likely to succeed." ”

"The mission behind enemy lines carried out by the Water Stopping Team is close to the area of the country of waves, and it is still in a dense area of fighting, so be careful not to let Konoha suffer more casualties."

"Yes."

This time, Seiichi didn't act rebellious, both in gestures and words.

To carry out such a large-scale search and rescue mission, even if Seiichi has the blessing of Immortal Mode and Flying Thunder God's Technique, it is impossible to do it alone.

And if he didn't have the permission of Watergate's mission, even if he was able to summon other companions who were willing to help him. It was also an operation no less than a coup d'état.

In wartime, even leaving a village without permission can be considered a defection.

What's more, large-scale collectives have left the village for no reason.

Seiichi Uchiha had left the village without permission many times before, and to some extent, it was also the reason why the newly appointed four generations of Hokage used the name of a special mission to pass him aside.

Finally, Mizumon turned his gaze and nodded slightly at Kakashi.

In silence, Kakashi also bowed slightly.

It's both an apology and a thank you.

Instead of blaming his students for leaking information to Seiichi without permission, Watergate instead sent his most trusted students and his most powerful helpers to him.

For Seiichi and Obito this kind. Watergate may emphasize proportions and rules back and forth because they don't follow the rules very well.

And Kakashi Watergate may be willing to encourage him to break the 'rules' at some point.

Especially when it comes to thinking about 'companions'.

Different students need different ways of education.

Kakashi, it's a bit too rigid indeed.

Similarly, Watergate actually has Kakashi, who hopes to do things more clearly. can slightly pull Seiichi's loose horse a little.

Last time, I asked Obito to partner with Seiichi

The results are more indescribable.

Hopefully this time, there will be a better result.
