Fencing from Naruto

Chapter 18 Long Talk

Hatake Shigesaku's eyes softened.

"Mizuki, although I don't know what you suddenly learned, are you so worried about uncle?"

Ruishu replied: "Uncle, you often teach me that if you are 90.00% sure about something, you must eliminate the last hidden dangers and leave no chance."

Hatake Shigesaku smiled.

"Yes, that's true."

He walked to the bed and sat down, waving to Mizhu to sit next to him.

"Mizuki, since you care so much about this matter, let me tell you."

The night was quiet, and Shigesaku Hatake began to recall what had happened in the past few days.

"Actually, everything breaks out for a reason. Before the failure of this mission, I had already made decisions on many missions to give up my interests and save the lives of my teammates to the maximum extent. Controversies have always been there and accumulated. Until now."

After living in the world of Naruto for so long, Mizuki probably understands that many ninjas of this era hold the concept of "mission first".

Hatake Shigesaku continued: "I know that some tasks are unreasonable. Many high-level officials in the Land of Fire and Konoha are eager for quick success. It can be said that they use ninjas as tools. For example, they generally believe that in order to convert a It is common to put less important ninjutsu scrolls in the collection room and sacrifice the lives of several ninjas."

Mizuki thought about it carefully. During the Warring States Period decades ago, ninjas were originally mercenaries who received money to do things. The sponsor provided the money and the ninjas performed their lives. This was the established concept at the time.

Even now that the Ninja Village has been established, the Fire Nation daimyo still regards Konoha as a larger mercenary group attached to the Fire Nation, and the lives of ninjas are like consumables for use.

Hatake Shigesaku took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, opened it, and rubbed a fire to light it up.

He doesn't usually smoke, but he will still light one when needed.

"What I did was not in line with those people's wishes. The losses caused by the failure of the mission were secondary. They just needed a reason to exclude me. I should not be able to continue to carry out important missions at the moment. But... what really makes me feel chilled. , it was those teammates who I rescued who also accused me, saying that I was greedy for life and afraid of death."

Shigesaku Hatake blew out the smoke gently. Although his emotions had not fully recovered, the things that happened after returning home were enough for him to calm down and think again.

Shigesaku Hatake put his hand on Mizuki's shoulder and whispered: "Mizuki, do you think I did the right thing?"

Now that it seems that Shigesaku Hatake has been able to accept the current situation, Mizuki is no longer so nervous. He said naturally:

"What's the use of thinking that I'm right? Is it right if I think it's right? Uncle, just think it's right. If you knew that your teammates would blame you after being saved by you, wouldn't you save them? ?”

After hearing this, Shigesaku Hatake was stunned for a long time, his eyes were blank, the cigarette between his fingers stayed in the air, and the ashes fell down and stained his clothes.

He couldn't help laughing to himself and shaking his head.

It feels ridiculous that I have been depressed for so long.

"Oh, I didn't expect that I have lived for more than 30 years without a child thinking clearly. Yes, I will make that choice anyway, and I will get scolded if I get scolded. I don't want to take them on tasks anymore. All of them are... It’s a white-eyed wolf.”

Hatake Shigesaku murmured: "That's good, I will have more time to guide you and Kakashi."

Mizuki thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, you won't let those people exclude you, but just do nothing."

This is also what Mizuki himself thinks.

I don't have any opinion on Danzo and those people, but if you want to mess with my uncle, then this matter can't go away like this.No one is unstoppable.

It's just that the current conditions are not sufficient and he still needs time to grow.

Shigesaku Hatake rubbed Mizuki's head:

"When did you have such ideas? This is not like you. You used to be so afraid of the Chuunin exams. Before the exams, you would have stomachaches, headaches, and pain wherever you needed it. Now you can actually say that you are so brave. if."

"One yard owned by a yard."

"Let's talk about it later. No matter how many ideas you have, you can't waste your daily morning exercises. It's getting late. Go to bed. I'm going to teach you new ninjutsu in a few days."

Hearing what Shigesaku Hatake said, Mizuki felt relieved and stood up to go back to his room.

"Uncle, you have to be obedient and don't worry Kakashi and me all the time."

Hatake Shigesaku was amused.

"If I were in better spirits, I would blow your head off as soon as you say that."

"If you were in good spirits I wouldn't say that."

Early the next morning, Hatake Shigesaku rarely stayed in bed and was woken up by Kakashi to have breakfast.

In the following days, Shigesaku Hatake spent less time going out. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid the limelight. On the other hand, after this incident, due to the pressure of public opinion, Konoha did not assign tasks to Shigesaku Hatake for the time being. , Hatake Shigesaku had nothing to do.

A month later, Hatake Shigesaku simply submitted a rest application to the Third Hokage.

In the office of the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi held the application form written by Shigesaku Hatake, holding his pipe in his mouth and frowning.

In his view, this was tantamount to an application for resignation.

"Jiraiya is traveling somewhere again. Tsunade can't go to the battlefield because of hemophobia. Orochimaru has been tinkering with his experiments all day long. Now you have to stay away from the front line. I don't know what to say. ”

Shigesaku Hatake replied: "Actually, in my current situation, I have to take a break whether I submit this application or not. I just want to concentrate on raising my two children."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "That's not bad. Those two children have great potential. Alas... Moshuo, I failed you. I failed to change the public opinion and made you bear so much pressure. But with your strength, after a while, after the limelight passes, those people will still need you very much even if they no longer want to see you."

Hatake Shigesaku shook his head slightly: "That's not necessary, I really need to take a rest."

After saying these words, Hatake Shigesaku felt more relaxed. He really felt relieved because he had nothing to do.

Sarutobi Hiruzen poured the ash from his pipe into the ashtray.

"I'm not kidding you. Kumogakure has been ready to make a move. I feel that before long, the ninja world will usher in a new all-out war. By then, every ninja will be swept into it. Only when it comes to fighting against other countries, Only then will Konoha's higher-ups unite for a brief moment."

Hatake Shigesaku replied: "If that's really the case, I will naturally be obliged to do so."

Back home, Shigesaku Hatake came to the backyard training ground and saw Mizuki and Kakashi concentrating on training.In my mind, I couldn't help but imagine what it would be like for them to go to the battlefield in the future.

He was leaning against the wall and suddenly had an idea:

Now that the village has not taken the initiative to assign tasks to him, why not create a new class by himself, pull Mizuki and Kakashi out of the original class, and become the captain himself.
