Discussion: How the Nine-Tails Lead the Naruto

"Madara is a very pretentious person. You should have felt it when you just talked to him." Mito seemed like a gossip and kept telling Kakashi all kinds of dirty information. "This guy is comparable to Hashirama." Much more difficult to deal with.”

As he spoke, he shook his head, as if he was disgusted.

Kakashi squatted on the tree and didn't know whether to answer or not for a moment, but he agreed with Mito that Madara was very pretentious.

"It's just such a pretentious person who voluntarily gave up the position of Hokage." Kakashi didn't understand. "For the village...isn't it really because he doesn't care?"

With Madara's strength, it seems not difficult to understand that he would not care about the position of a Hokage.

"You are wrong about this." Mito chuckled, "At that time, Madara... cared more about the village than Hashirama, and wanted the title of Hokage more than anyone else. Yes, we Everybody can see it.”

Back then, Madara and Hashirama founded Konoha. In order to prevent...or deter the enemy, he showed unrivaled power in front of everyone. Even if he captured the tailed beast in front of them, he would not A village dared to say 'no' to him.

In the end, these guys only dared to complain to Hashirama, saying they were powerful, but if they wanted to attack Konoha, they would have to face Madara, and no one dared to move.

"It can be said that when Konoha established a firm foothold in the ninja world, on the one hand, Hashirama was the Hokage, and another aspect that cannot be ignored is the intimidation of Madara." Mito sighed, "I still remember that we looked at each other at that time The scene when he practiced smiling by himself so as not to scare the children in the village."

He could have trained several children as disciples in Konoha, but he gave up because his face was too scary. Hashirama also rejected this idea in order to accompany him. In the end, Tobirama taught several subordinates alone. (The above belongs to the second setting, and there is no accurate plot explanation)

Speaking of which, Konoha at that time was probably the safest, warmest, and most popular village in the entire ninja world.

Unfortunately, Madara left.

"Why?" Kakashi couldn't help but ask.

"Why? I don't know." Mito smiled helplessly, "Maybe he really found a better future, maybe he was really hurt by the Uchiha clan, or maybe it was just because he regretted it."

"But no matter what, even if he really left Konoha, he never thought of harming Konoha. When he was fighting with Hashirama, the strength of the two people was enough to affect Konoha, but they chose to stay away from Konoha at the same time. During the war, even until his death, he never attacked the village.”

As Mito said, after Hashirama's death, Madara was still at his peak. Even if he lost a Sharingan, it would not be difficult to destroy Konoha with his strength, but he didn't do that.

He just said he didn't care, he didn't even look at it, and he stayed away from the village he built with his own hands.

"Perhaps it's really because he doesn't like it?" Mito said this last sentence with a smile.

There was ridicule in the words, a smile, and a touch of incomprehensible sadness.

Did something like this happen in Konoha in the past... Kakashi fell silent. He looked at Mito, who was motionless below, and suddenly thought of something: "Why... why are you telling me this?"

"Because you are very similar to Madara back then." Mito replied with a smile. "You also have to stand behind your companions because of their brilliance. You clearly long for it but have to let it go. But you are better than him. Because you still have companions who trust you.”

Kakashi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Mito seemed to see the complexity in Kakashi's heart, and chuckled: "Actually, you don't need to care about this. You are not Madara, and you will not leave Konoha. You just don't know what you should do now, and how to do it." Just do better.”

Kakashi clenched his fists, and after a long silence, he looked at Mito: "What...should I do?"

Too weak, so just stand behind the strong, should you practice and become stronger, or should you just go on like this and hand everything over to the next generation?

what should I do?Only then can you feel that... you are not the one holding you back?

Minato did not answer Kakashi's question directly, but asked: "Why did you want to become a ninja in the first place?"

Kakashi was slightly stunned: "Because my father is a great ninja, I want to be like him, I want to be..."

After a pause, he continued to finish his sentence: "I want to become a ninja who may not be great, but at least can protect the village and his companions. This is what my best friend... Obito told me. "

"Then can you protect the village and your companions now?" Mito continued to ask.

Kakashi shook his head without hesitation: "Konoha was attacked, I couldn't help, the enemy attacked the medical team, I was late, and now, I became the reason to hinder Sasuke's fight, how dare I say that I can protect the village by myself..."

If it weren't for Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama, and Sakura, Konoha might have been gone.

If it weren't for Shikamaru, Neji and all the genin who graduated from those two classes, perhaps the medical class would have been destroyed by Obito.

If it hadn't been for him, perhaps Sasuke would have gone all out and used all his strength to show his full strength.

“I can’t do anything, I can’t catch up on anything.”

Kakashi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of bitterness.

Mito just looked at Kakashi, and after listening to everything Kakashi said, his kind and gentle smile never changed: "Believe in your companions and protect the village, how can such a thing be called 'cannot do anything'" Arrive, nothing can catch up'?"

"But..." Kakashi opened his mouth, but was interrupted in an instant.

"When facing the enemy, will you run away?" Mito asked.

"No..." Kakashi shook his head, he would fight with all his strength.

"When your companion is injured, will you give up on him?" Mito asked again.

"No!" Kakashi shook his head again. Those who cannot complete the task are trash, and those who abandon their companions are worse than trash.

"When you need to fight with your life, will you hesitate?" Mito finally asked.

"No." Kakashi shook his head without hesitation. If he can't protect his companions, then what's the point of living?He had already made up his mind to die in order to protect the village and his companions.

"In that case, what can't you do?" Mito said with a smile, "You will not run away, but you will fight with determination. In order to protect the lives of your companions, you will not hesitate to sacrifice your own life. You and the other side are fighting. What’s the difference between a little Uchiha guy?”

Kakashi paused suddenly, his face looking shocked and disbelieving.

"The strength is very weak, yes, it is precisely because of the weakness that the enemy dares to attack. It is in this weakness that you can strengthen your heart that you must protect at all costs, isn't this... the greatness of ninjas "?" Mito's smile was extremely bright.

Just like before... when Kakashi met Minato-sensei for the first time, Minato-sensei had a smile on his face.

"Because ninjas never ignore the existence of their companions because of one's weakness."

As warm as the sun, shining on the village, it also shines on the star. He will protect the village and the hearts of his companions at any cost.

"The reason why ninjas are strong is because they have companions who can sacrifice their lives."

"Oh Duo~ It seems that our conversation will stop here~" Mito smiled and narrowed his eyes. Under that old face, there were warm words that had never been hidden before.

Seeing Mito-sama gradually losing control, Kakashi took a deep breath, and the bitterness in his eyes finally dissipated, and the flame that had been away from his heart for a long time burned again.

He raised the kunai, and his voice was indescribably firm: "Thank you, Mito-sama."

I... won't be confused anymore.

I swear by this Sharingan in my eyes!Obito, I will definitely stop you!
