Hokage: To Meet You

Chapter 28 Atonement ([-])

"What? Hatake is dead?" The third Hokage froze in place, shocked.

"That's right, uncle was killed by you cold-blooded and heartless people. Is it wrong for him to save the life of his valued partner? No one wants to see the huge loss caused by this. Why blame uncle like this ?” Xiaoyou’s accusations made Third Hokage’s heart ache, this is a tragedy that no one wants to see.

"I'm very sad," said Third Hokage mournfully.

"I don't understand. As a ninja, the first priority is to protect the village and the people who live in the village, but... But when the people you protect with your life keep accusing you, what kind of sadness is that? Don’t the partners belong to the Konoha Ninja Village? Don’t they belong to the people who need to be protected? They didn’t contribute anything to the village but accepted the protection of others with peace of mind. Now they keep accusing the people who guarded them with their lives and forced their uncle to death , This is too chilling," Xiaoyou couldn't help crying, remembering that the innocent Naruto was discriminated against by the villagers, but Naruto's parents, the fourth-generation Hokage and mother Uzumaki Kushina, sacrificed for the sake of the village. Yes, and the village they guarded with their lives treated their only son and Gaara like this in the end. He said, "Why? Why do you want to protect such a group of indifferent people? Why do you want to protect such people?"

Every sentence of Xiaoyou's words made the third Hokage heartbroken, and he blamed himself for failing to deal with and enlighten Hatake Sakumo in time for the tragedy.

The other people present were speechless to Xiao Yu's accusation, and didn't know how to face Xiao Yu. Little Kakashi looked at Xiao Yu who was crying bitterly, and was very moved by her protection of her father.

"Do you know how much damage that mission caused to the village?" The ninja on the side couldn't help but make a sound.

"What kind of loss can be compared to the importance of a human life? Who can a ninja who can't even protect the life of his partner protect?"

"This... Sometimes in order to complete the task, the sacrifice of the companion is unavoidable."

When Xiaoyou heard this sentence, he stood up abruptly, stared coldly at the ninja who said this sentence, and said: "If a cold task is more important than a partner who lives and dies together, then it has nothing to do with animals. What's the difference? Isn't the reason why people are different from animals is that people have emotional bonds? If today the enemy is in the hands of your beloved relatives, would you dare to swear that you will not be shaken? It is undeniable that the task is for the village, for The sacrifice necessary to complete the task is indeed inevitable, but this sacrifice should not be a life and death partner. What's more, everyone is an independent individual with their own fancy things, and no one has the right to stand on the moral high ground to criticize others .”

"I..." The ninja who answered was speechless by Xiaoyou, so he had to lower his head, not daring to look at Xiaoyou again.

"Konoha Baiya is the real hero! A great hero who stands up to the sky!" Yuu looked at the third Hokage and said firmly.

"You're right, Konoha Baiya is a great hero, but the damage he caused is indeed irreparable. If the failure of this mission only caused economic losses, it would be fine. It is also true that they suffered serious injuries of varying degrees, and the secrets of the village were leaked, causing irreparable losses." The third Hokage lamented.

"If those injured ninjas can recover, the secrets are brought back, and the memories of those who have seen the secrets are erased, then can you justify your uncle's name?" Xiaoyou lowered his head and asked softly.

"It's impossible," one of the ninjas retorted immediately. How could the memory be erased? This is simply a fantasy.

"Maybe, as long as you pay enough price, everything is possible." Xiaoyou raised his head, looked at the third Hokage seriously, and asked, "As long as the loss is recovered, then uncle won't be criticized by the villagers, right?"
