Naruto: My and Obito's mutual redemption

The few people who had calmed down now began to think about the solution to this problem. They sat at the dining table in silence.

Yu Yan thought to himself that there were many doubts about Bai Fang's failure in this mission. Since the village asked Bai Fang to go when evaluating the mission, it means that the top leaders believed that Bai Fang's ability would definitely be able to complete the mission, but now they have to give up the mission...

"Uncle Bai Ya, there must have been some unexpected situation during this mission, right? And it must be a very serious one..." Yu Yan wanted to ask Bai Ya what happened first.

White Fang's face was solemn. He thought for a while and then spoke slowly: "Indeed, as you said, our mission seems to have been known in advance, and the enemy has a complete grasp of our every move..."

After White Fang's explanation, no one except the top leaders of the Wood Industry should know about the mission to explore the intelligence in the Sand Village. Moreover, this kind of mission is quite common for White Fang. Under normal circumstances, White Fang can come and go freely by himself, but this time he was assigned two more people. More importantly, the content of the mission was suspected to have been leaked... As a result, the failure of the mission is now known to everyone in the village.

"Uncle White Fang, what I am going to say next is just my personal guess. I believe you will have your own judgment..." Yu Yan paused, and then said: "What do you think is the root cause of the failure of this mission? I think that even if you can turn the tide this time, you will fail next time, and the next time, there will always be a time when you fail..."

Several people looked puzzled, not knowing what Yu Yan meant.

Yu Yan took a sip of water and continued to explain: "Don't be angry, I'm not questioning your ability. It's because someone wants you to fail... To put it bluntly, you are in the way."

"What?" Kakashi and Obito shouted in unison.

"Why do you say that?" White Fang asked in confusion, looking thoughtful.

Yu Yan pointed at the Hokage half sleeve on Bai Ya's left shoulder and said, "Because of the Hokage, you don't have any self-awareness at all, right? With your ability, you are now in your prime, and the Sandaime is getting old. Now, besides you, who has a better chance of becoming Hokage?"

"Three ninjas? One of them has been wandering around for years and his whereabouts are unknown. The other is obsessed with research. Even if she wants to become the Sandaime Hokage, she won't consider it. As for my sister, it is possible, but she has not yet recovered from the pain she once suffered..."

Now the Third World War has not yet broken out and the name of Yellow Flash has not yet appeared, so Namikaze Minato is even less likely, at least for the time being. Even though he is a descendant of the Hokage, his age and qualifications are not enough.

"...Moreover, there is another person in Konoha's upper echelons who has never given up his ambition to become Hokage..."

Bai Ya was just thinking silently at this time. He only knew how to kill people, not political struggles. Now after Yu Yan's reminder, he realized that his position seemed a bit awkward. Although he didn't think the Sandaime would do such a stupid thing as cutting off his own arm, he did not rule out the possibility that he was also suspected of "being too successful and frightening the master"... And the other person that Yu Yan mentioned... Although he didn't say it directly, how could he not know who Yu Yan was referring to.

The other two kids were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths. They didn't expect that there would be so many traps in a simple mission.

Yu Yan looked at their shocked expressions and chuckled, "That's just the beginning. Moreover, this mission itself is a conspiracy. If Uncle White Fang was determined to complete the mission even if his companions died, then he is a cold-blooded person. If he gave up the mission for his companions... that's the situation now. But no matter what, he can achieve his goal, which is to make you lose the qualification to run for Hokage. I have to say, he succeeded."

"This... I have always coveted the position of Hokage. I only know how to fight and have no interest in power struggles, but still..." White Fang covered his face and sighed.

"What they want is not what you think, but what they feel, even if you have never thought about it." Yu Yan replied.

Obito and Kakashi also came back to their senses at this time, frowning and looking gloomy.

"Uncle White Fang, I don't know what you think of the 'Will of Fire', but do you know the Will of Fire that the first generation advocated? Although you can sacrifice yourself to complete the mission, protecting your companions is also an important part of the Will of Fire. You may not have done the right thing this time, but you definitely did nothing wrong."

"Although the mission was not completed, there was no major loss in essence. How come the villagers said it was a 'heavy loss'? Needless to say, you should know that someone is manipulating public opinion behind the scenes. Although this is not what the Sandaime would do, he did not stop it in time. Is Konoha really worth it?"

Yu Yan said a lot in one breath. He didn't know what choice Bai Ya would make in the end. Thinking of Bai Ya's character, even if he knew the truth of the matter, he would probably still choose to die to prove his integrity. This gave him a headache.

After a long silence, Kakashi slowly said, "If that's the case, is there anything else we can do now? Is there no hope at all?"

White Fang felt heartbroken. He couldn't believe that he had dedicated everything to the village, but in the end he would be abandoned.

Yu Yan tried desperately to think of a solution in his mind, but he was helpless. White Fang was basically in a dead end now.

He sighed helplessly and said, "Uncle White Fang, you have two choices now. The first is to resign and show that you have no intention of inheriting the position of Hokage, and then quietly wait for the public opinion storm to end. This is the way to compromise."

Yu Yan knew that Bai Ya's character might not be able to do this, so he continued: "The second one is to die to prove your will, to end it all with your own death, to show the world that even if the mission fails, you never feel that you have done anything wrong. I guess this is what you originally planned..."

"No!" the two children shouted at the same time, because considering White Fang's character, he might really do that.

Bai Ya smiled slightly and said, "Yu Yan, you are really amazing. Not only did you analyze the problem so reasonably, but you were also able to guess my original thoughts... I want to at least let me die as a ninja, instead of living in pain under the curse of the world..."

Yu Yan knocked on the table and explained, "I know you will choose this, but you can't die yet, at least not really... The village will still need your help in the future, and you will see us become the backbone of the village in the future. I'm sure you won't sit idly by and watch the cancer lurking in Konoha, right?"

The three of them were listening to Yu Yan's horrifying speech. What did he mean by not really dead? Could it be that... he was trying to create an illusion of death? But the ninjas in the village were not fools. They would definitely be able to see through the clone technique. What should they do...

"Believe me, I will definitely find a way to do this. It's just that you may not be able to stay in Konoha in the future, but this time will not be too long. When we have strength in the future, all problems will be solved."

Yu Yan already had a rough idea in his mind. He was going to make up a big lie and let Bai Ya fake his death. As for how to do this...

Obito and Kakashi didn't say anything. If it could keep White Fang alive, they would cooperate fully.

White Fang also asked at this time: "You are right, but in my heart I still..."

"For the future of the village, and even more for Kakashi, you must stay alive!" Yu Yan interrupted directly.

His mind was really a mess now. His method at this moment was the best solution he could think of. It could not only let the world see White Fang die to prove his integrity, but also protect White Fang secretly.

"Kakashi, Obito, Uncle White Fang, I will arrange everything, and you just need to cooperate with me. Please bear with the pressure during this period! There will be results in about one to two months." Yu Yan took a deep breath, he had made a complete decision.

Somehow, Bai Ya looked at Yu Yan in front of him. Although he was still a child, he had a strong sense of trust in his heart. He began to think that Yu Yan's method might not be impossible...

Obito and Kakashi also trusted Yuyan 100% and nodded heavily. In their understanding, there seemed to be nothing that Yuyan could not do, even things that ordinary people thought were impossible.
