Naruto's Great Trick

"Master."

"Oh? Why did you come back so early today? What happened?"

Looking at Fengjian with a serious expression, Uncle Snake asked in surprise.

"I was outside and heard some bad rumors about Uncle Sakumo. What's wrong?"

"Hatake Sakumo failed a mission in order to save his companions."

Uncle Snake said lightly, and Fengjian frowned after hearing it.

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"Is the mission important?"

"General mission."

Hearing this, Feng Jian frowned even deeper: "If I remember correctly, the mission only needs to be reported to the third generation, who spread this news?"

Hearing Feng Jian's question, Snake Uncle smiled faintly: "Is this kind of thing still important now?"

Fengjian fell silent.

"I'm going to go find the Third Hokage."

……

"Hmm? Kazama? What's wrong?"

The third generation looked at Fengjian with a heavy face and asked in surprise.

"What's going on with Uncle Sakumo?"

Hearing Feng Jian's question, Sandai was stunned for a moment, then took a puff of cigarette - huh~

"I'm also very sorry about what happened to Hatake Sakumo. He gave up the mission to protect his companions. I agree with this spirit."

"In that case, why don't you stand up and say something for him?"

"Because I'm the Hokage, in this kind of situation, I can only hope that he can get through it, I can't speak for him. As the Hokage, everyone in Konoha can express their opinions, except me."

Fengjian looked at the third generation silently, waiting for his explanation.

"What do you think Konoha relies on to exist?" The Third Hokage asked calmly, "It relies on missions."

"Missions are the foundation of our existence as Konoha ninjas, and to get more missions, we must rely on a high mission completion rate."

"I approve of Hatake Sakumo's actions, but the people he hired do not. The villagers can express their opinions, but I cannot."

"As the Hokage, my words represent the village in a sense. If I publicly endorse Sakumo's words, what will others think?"

"What do those who issue missions think? Most of Konoha's missions are about protection and assassination. When encountering danger, they should protect their own people first. How can the employer feel at ease to entrust the mission to Konoha?"

"Hatake Sakumo is a hero of Konoha and an important fighting force of Konoha. I certainly don't want to see the situation today, but I can't comment on it."

"It's not just me. Many well-known ninjas in the village have not expressed their opinions because they have also seen this. They can support Sakumo privately and hold such thoughts in their hearts, but they cannot speak publicly to civilians."

"I'm also very sorry about what happened this time, but I can only remain silent."

After hearing what the Third Generation said, Kazama remained silent for a long time. The Third Generation was right. Even in the future, the Konoha Ninjas would follow the principle of protecting their companions, but the Ninja School would still teach "Ninjas should put their mission first"...

This is the "attitude" towards the outside world.

"Who spread the news? This kind of thing should only be known by the mission team and you, old man?"

Hearing this, the third generation's eyes condensed and he said:

"Kazama! What do you want to do!?"

"Nothing, I just feel that if I go on a mission with someone like this in the future, I won't be able to save him if he gets into danger."

The Sandaime was silent for a while: "He was the one who was saved by Sakumo. He firmly believed that ninjas should put their missions first, and he didn't let Sakumo save him at that time."

……

This time it was Kazama's turn to be silent.

Blanch!

"Hey, I'm going to go to Uncle Sakumo's place."

After saying that, Kazama disappeared from the spot. The third generation stood up and stood by the window, smoking silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

Konoha, in front of the gate of the Hatake family.

Fengjian has been standing here for a long time. He has been looking at the door of Uncle Sakumo's house for a long time before he pushed the door open and went in.

"Uncle Sakumo!"

In the Hatake family, Konohagakuin and Kazama sat opposite each other, while Kakashi poured tea on the side.

"Speaking of which, Kakashi, your swordsmanship still needs to be improved. Since Kazama is here, you can go out and practice with his clones."

Kakashi looked at Uncle Sakumo, then at Kazama. Kazama nodded to him, then sent a clone out with Kakashi.

"You seem worried."

The King of Kan calmly drank a sip of tea.

Haha, how can I not be worried? He is half my master after all. Moreover, if Fengjian remembers correctly, he will commit suicide this time.

"Huh? Uncle, there are so many rumors out there? Are you so calm?"

Fengjian looked at Sakumo in surprise, and a bad premonition flashed through his heart.

"What else? This is a mistake I made, and I should make up for it."

"No, how could you make a mistake? Isn't it normal to save your companions? 'If you save the land but lose the people, you lose both the land and the people', don't you understand? Isn't the mission carried out by people? Although you failed this time, you saved the people, and you can do it again next time."

"But if someone dies, that's a huge loss."

"'If you keep the land but lose the people, you lose both the people and the land'? That's a very profound truth," Uncle Shumo thought for a while.

"But it doesn't apply to me."

Kazama raised an eyebrow.

"Because I am the 'White Fang of Konoha', in this situation, even if the village does not pursue me, other ninja villages will use this as an excuse to rob me of the mission resources. So -"

"I need to give an explanation to all my employers in Konoha."

"Ah~" Hearing this, Fengjian sighed deeply.

"What about Kakashi? Hasn't he finished learning your Hatake family's swordsmanship yet? You gave the village an explanation, but what about him?"

Feng Jian asked softly:

"Even if you can leave behind the ninjutsu scroll, what about the experience? Without someone to teach him, it would be hard for him to pass on the Hatake sword technique, right? Besides, he's only 7 years old."

Hatake Sakumo smiled slightly:

"This, I have prepared it a long time ago," he said, taking out a ninja scroll.

"This is the sword technique passed down from our Hatake family. I will teach it to you now. With your talent, you will surely be able to master the Hatake sword technique, right? When the time comes, I will trouble you to teach Kakashi."

Fengjian looked at the window, then looked at Kanou, and then looked at the scroll: "Uncle, how can I have the face to 'teach' Kakashi~"

"Oh?" Uncle Sakumo looked at Fengjian in surprise: "Don't you want this?"

"I want to," Fengjian answered honestly, "but I can't have it."

Hearing this, Uncle Shumao was stunned for a moment, then laughed:

"I forgot. Well, it seems that Kakashi will have to figure it out on his own."

"Well - it's not that there is no way."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to my mind - wasn't it because I was worried that I had no reason to contact her? Now, this reason has come.

"Oh? What can I do?"

Uncle Kan Wang looked at Fengjian in surprise. He really couldn't think of any other way to allow Kakashi to inherit the legacy better.

Fengjian smiled slightly:

"The Uchiha clan."
