Ninja: I'm really a support ninja

Chapter 8 fell victim to politics.

After a meal, Kakashi was not very happy.

It's not because Hatake Sakumo and Hatake Akira have something to hide from him, but because he simply doesn't like Hatake Sakumo's cooking skills.

Hatake Sakumo knew about this, but he didn't care about it.

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

"Accept the order, perform the task, and complete the task." Hatake Kakashi replied without thinking.

"That's right, but that's not all about ninjas." Hatake Sakumo nodded, then shook his head again, "Only when you reach a certain position, you will 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 Naruto sleeves, I realized that ninjas are just tools to meet the needs of superiors."

"This……"

There were waves on Kakashi Hatake's calm face. This argument completely overturned the education he had received before, and severely impacted his previous persistence.

"I know it's still too early for you, but just because I don't say it doesn't mean it doesn't exist." Hatake Sakumo sighed, "Konoha has changed its taste now, especially in peacetime, fighting for power and profit became the main theme."

"But the will of fire... that's not the case!" Hatake Kakashi's three views showed signs of collapse, "Aren't we desperate for the village?!"

"There is nothing wrong with the will of fire, and there is nothing wrong with raising the butcher knife for the village. What is wrong is the person who controls the will of fire. He has a problem." Hatake Sakumo said that it is very clear, "many ninjas are no longer It is simply to perform tasks and complete tasks, but it has more political attributes and camp divisions."

"One belongs to the third generation, and the other belongs to the advisory group headed by Shimura Danzo, and I..." Hatake Sakumo laughed at himself, "It's just a target set up by the third generation to divert internal conflicts."

"That's impossible!" Kakashi Hatake stood up abruptly, pointing at Sakumo Hatake's fingers trembling, "Father, it's all because of your contribution to the village that you can become the candidate for the next Hokage. How can you say that about yourself!"

"Don't be stupid brother." Akira Hatake reached out and patted Kakashi Hatake's arm, "Also, you can't point at father like that no matter what."

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

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

Seeing Kakashi Hatake fell into silence again, Akira Hatake withdrew his hand.

"Do you know why the third Hokage chose his father as the candidate for the next Hokage?"

"Why?" Hatake Kakashi looked at Hatake Akira.

"Because the Hatake family is thin, there is a clear gap between the family strength and the family's political influence compared with other families in the village."

"But what does this have to do with my father becoming the next Hokage candidate?" Kakashi Hatake couldn't turn the corner for a while, "Such an obvious disadvantage is enough to show that my father relied on his own merits to become a candidate !"

"You, you still only saw the surface." Hatake Akira shook his head, "Father's achievements are only part of it. The real reason for him to become the next Hokage candidate is because of the weakness of the Hatake family."

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

"It's exactly as Akira said." Hatake Sakumo nodded, "Because the Hatake family's power is weak and easier to be controlled, I was able to overwhelm Sannin and become the owner of Hokage Sleeve."

"But the third Hokage-sama... why did he do this? And what do you mean by "target"?"

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

"Then brother will explain to you more clearly. "Target" means victim. In order to calm the internal conflicts in the village, or the conflict between him and Shimura Danzo, the third generation regarded his father as a pawn."

"In the competition for the position of Naruto, whether the father succeeds or fails, it has no effect on the third generation of Hokage." Akira Hatake's face darkened, "If the father fails and dies, Konoha still has Sannin, which is completely enough to carry The banner of Konoha; if the father succeeds in becoming the next Hokage, he will also be restricted by the purpose of the third generation because of the weakness of the Hatake family."

Hatake Kakashi completely lost himself in the in-depth analysis of Akira Hatake's words, and he stood there with his head down, not knowing what to think.

And Sakumo Hatake looked at Akira Hatake with a smile on his face, his eyes were full of relief.

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

"But father...the Third Hokage-sama did this...why?"

After a while, Kakashi Hatake raised his head again, with confusion and loss in his eyes.

"He can't let go of some people." Hatake Sakumo sighed, "At the same time, he can't let go of the power in his hands."

"Are they Konoha's three advisors?" Hatake Kakashi seemed to be enlightened, and asked the key point at once.

"Yes, they are the three advisers of Konoha." Hatake Sakumo nodded, "When the third generation took over the position of Hokage, the reputation among the people was not enough, and the Sarutobi clan at that time was not a big family, so it was difficult to persuade the internal dissenting voices."

"So, Shimura Danzo, Zhuanju Koharu, and Mitomon Yan, who are also members of the second-generation Mukage Guard with the third generation, were promoted by the third generation to help him control Konoha."

"But when the third generation was firmly seated in the position of Hokage and won the war, there were differences within the village, forming the main battle hawk faction headed by Shimura Danzo, and the main and dove faction headed by the third generation."

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

"Up to now, Shimura Danzo's subordinates are growing stronger and stronger, and they have always been loyal to the position of Hokage. Internal friction is inevitable..."

"In this case, the third generation chose me and made me the next Hokage candidate to divert Shimura Danzo's attention."

"As long as I am safe and sound, Shimura Danzo will only focus on me, and temporarily give up the strife against other people in Konoha, so as to minimize the loss of Konoha's internal friction."

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

He once thought that under the guidance of the will of fire, Konoha would unite as one and fight for a better tomorrow.

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