Konoha owes Uchiha a Hokage

When Uchihaha and Kakashi arrived at the assembly point, most of the people had already arrived.

Most of the people had minor or serious injuries, indicating that the raid did not go as smoothly as imagined.

Seeing Uchiha Yu and Kakashi coming back, most people looked a little surprised and weird.

"You're back, are you okay?"

Minato, who was unharmed but with some dust on his body, came up to them immediately and looked them both up and down, the concern in his words was palpable.

"fine."

Uchihaha shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.

Kakashi was a little embarrassed and a little worried. He rashly went to support Uchiha Yu and gave up his mission. I'm afraid he would also be criticized.

"It's okay, just come back. I'm here."

Probably sensing Kakashi's anxiety, Minato smiled as warmly as the sun and patted his disciple's shoulder to comfort him.

"How's the mission going?"

Uchihaha asked about the raid mission and changed the subject.

"It didn't go very well. The strength of Kumogakure's escort troops exceeded our expectations. We didn't get much advantage, but only destroyed limited supplies."

Minato shook his head, very dissatisfied with the result.

Uchiha Yu had an idea in his mind. In fact, from seeing most of the people with injuries when they came back, he knew that the result would definitely not be any better.

However, Uchihaha didn't expect that even with Minato around, he still couldn't take advantage of Kumogakure.

However, overall, it is not all without gain.

Konoha was the party that made the surprise attack, so any losses caused by Kumogakure would be earned. It was just a matter of making more or less.

"Minato, do you have any explanation for your disciple Kakashi's behavior of abandoning his mission and running away on the battlefield?"

While the master and apprentice were talking, a middle-aged ninja came over from the other side of the army and asked righteously.

Following the middle-aged ninja's question, everyone looked over, with some exploring and some mocking.

"I didn't run away"

Kakashi was very dissatisfied when he heard this and retorted loudly.

"Hasn't anyone taught you manners? When adults are talking, why should children interrupt? I forgot, your father is the White Fang who gave up his mission and became a deserter. He actually committed suicide out of fear of crime. He really disgraced all Konoha ninjas. s face"

The middle-aged ninja glanced at Kakashi with disdain and contemptuous ridicule.

"you wanna die"

Kakashi was furious and reached out to draw his sword, wanting to fight the middle-aged ninja.

Uchiha Yuyan quickly held down Kakashi, grabbing both of his hands behind his back.

"Shimura-senpai, are you going too far?"

The smile on the gentle-tempered Minato's face also disappeared. The good old man's face turned dark in a rare way, and he suppressed his anger and asked questions.

"Did I go too far? Or did I say that you have to protect your disciples?"

When facing Minato, Shimura Jiro didn't have a good expression, and his tone was condescending.

"I just hope that Shimura-senpai can maintain a little grace when facing the juniors from the same village and don't go too far."

Minato was tit for tat, but his momentum was inevitably weaker, and he was really being unreasonable.

"As a ninja, you must aim to complete the task. As long as you can complete the task, it doesn't matter what the process is. What do you think, Minato brother?"

Although Shimura Jiro seemed to be reasonable, both inside and outside his words were confirming Kakashi's guilt.

"I changed his mission temporarily because I realized that the opponent was very strong and it might be difficult to achieve success, so I gave Yu and Kakashi instructions to keep themselves as the primary goal."

Minato couldn't tell what Shimura Jiro was thinking, so he immediately took the responsibility on himself.

If it was Minato's order, even if it was outside the plan, it would be excusable. Minato had the right to change the arrangement midway through the mission.

Once Kakashi is convicted of abandoning the mission and running away before the battle, Kakashi will never be able to turn over for the rest of his life.

Compared to this, even if the command was wrong, Minato would be a mistake at most, not because of it.

"Oh, is that right? Brother Minato really cares about his disciples according to his instructions. He must protect his disciples even if the mission fails."

Shimura Jiro didn't bother to worry about the truth or falsehood of what Minato said. As long as Minato opened his mouth, he had no way to hold Kakashi responsible. He could only change the target and point directly at Minato.

"The mission failed, I am responsible, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

Minato didn't refute, and simply accepted it.

"After I go back, I will report the situation to the village. It is up to the village to decide how to deal with it."

When the matter reached this point, Shimura Jiro had no good way to continue pursuing the matter. Minato was beyond his control.

It was already very difficult to make Minato take the initiative to take responsibility for the failure of this mission.

If he goes too far, with his status as an elite Jonin, there is nothing he can do against Minato, one of the fourth generation heirs.

"Uchiha Yu, why didn't you lead the enemy to the agreed place and let everyone encircle and suppress it together?"

The failure to prove Kakashi's crime only allowed Minato to take some of the blame, which did not satisfy Shimura Jiro. Instead, he caused trouble for Uchihaha and tried to make amends.

"Why the encirclement and suppression?"

Uchiha Yu tilted his head and asked innocently.

"You know that letting any Kumogakure ninja escape may lead to the sacrifice of more Konoha ninjas on the battlefield in the future."

Shimura Jiro's eyes lit up when he saw this, as if he had found a breakthrough, and he shouted righteously.

"I know, so what?"

Uchiha looked at him like a curious baby.

"So, because of the arrogance that you Uchiha clan should not have, letting go of a Kumogakure jounin is definitely an unforgivable sin."

Shimura Jiro was very angry at Uchiha Yu's non-serious look, and he slapped a big hat on him.

"Who told you that Kumogakure's Jonin escaped?"

Uchiha Yu was still looking at him, but as if he was looking at an idiot.

"You alone can keep Kumogakure's jounin, stop being ridiculous."

Shimura Jiro is no longer angry. Because of Danzo, he has no good impression of the Uchiha clan at all. He especially hates the Uchiha clan's self-righteous arrogance. He gritted his teeth with a sneer and sarcastically said.

"Yeah, just because you can't do it with me doesn't mean I can't do it either."

Uchiha Yu smiled, extremely brightly, but the sarcasm in it couldn't be more obvious.

For someone like Shimura Jiro who was obviously looking for trouble, Uchiha naturally knew his purpose and would certainly not give him a good look.

Anyway, we are not on the same road. The other party wants to kill me, so why should he be slapped on the left cheek and send the right one up?
