Shouldn’T The Person Who Deserves To Die The Most Be You?

"What is a ninja like you other than a disgrace?!"

Listening to Takuya's question, Sakumo opened his mouth blankly.

Since abandoning his mission and returning to the village, he has received countless condemnations.

Whether it was from the villagers or his fellow shinobi who came after hearing the news, Sakumo didn't take it too seriously.

He sought death, not because of their words, but because he was completely disappointed with the village.

But, Takuya's words made him feel an unprecedented sense of shame.

He had never thought before that he was so unbearable.

This made Sakumo feel a little unwilling.

"Takuya-sama... things are not as simple as you think," Sakumo retorted.

"I know."

"It's nothing more than the schemes of Hiruzen and Danzo."

"They see you as a threat to their power and position!"

"But so what?"

"Have you ever thought about resisting them?"

"Have you ever thought about confronting them?"

"Have you ever thought about harming the village?"

"If not, why would you seek death because of their suspicion?"

"Are you living in this world just for them?"

Takuya said coldly.

Hearing this series of questions, Sakumo was completely speechless.

Yes.

Even if considered a threat by Hiruzen and Danzo,

As long as he had a clear conscience, wouldn't it be fine?

Takuya was right.

He doesn't live just for Hiruzen and Danzo!

If they don't trust him, he could just resign.

Why seek death?

Looking at the junior in front of him, Sakumo was filled with admiration.

Because he discovered that,

Even though he has the strength of a Kage-level ninja, even though he is respected as "Konoha's White Fang," even though he is the powerful Anbu commander...

Compared with Takuya,

His resolve,

Fell short in many ways.

"Kakashi, I'm so sorry for making you worry."

Sakumo patted Kakashi's head lovingly.

"Takuya-sama..."

Kakashi looked at Takuya gratefully.

Although he couldn't quite understand what Takuya said, he could feel that his father was convinced and would not continue to seek death.

After walking out of the room, Kakashi's expression was still a little depressed.

"Kakashi, why do you still have this expression?"

Takuya asked casually while looking at Kakashi.

"Takuya-sama, did my father really do something wrong?"

Kakashi looked at Takuya in confusion.

Although his father no longer sought death, people outside were still blocking the door and cursing him.

"Kakashi, do you think your father did something wrong?"

Takuya asked rhetorically.

"I think he was right."

After thinking for a while, Kakashi shook his head.

"That's it."

"Kakashi, remember."

"If a shinobi who fails to complete his mission is called a disgrace, then a shinobi who abandons his comrades is even worse than a disgrace."

Takuya said word for word.

"Those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash..."

Kakashi's eyes lit up.

This sentence,

Was awe-inspiring!

As expected of Takuya-sama.

Kakashi looked at Takuya with eyes filled with admiration.

He had never felt this way about anyone since he was born.

"Kakashi, follow me."

Takuya said, turned around and walked outside.

"Takuya-sama, what are you going to do?"

Kakashi asked curiously.

"Restore your father's honor."

"By the way..."

"Shut up those guys out there."

...

Squeak~~~

The door to the Hatake house was slowly pushed open.

Takuya and Kakashi walked out slowly.

"Kakashi, where is Sakumo?"

"Get that disgrace out here!"

Daisho pic:-

Seeing Kakashi, Daisho said immediately.

"Why do you say that about my father? He saved you!"

After glancing at Takuya, Kakashi retorted loudly.

"Hmph!"

"Do you think I wanted to be saved by him?"

"I'm willing to die for the mission!"

Daisho said with a cold snort.

"As for why Sakumo is called a disgrace..."

"A shinobi is a tool, and the purpose of existence is to complete the mission."

"A shinobi who can't even complete his mission is nothing but a disgrace."

Daisho continued.

"What you said is wrong!"

"Shinobi are not tools, we also have thoughts and feelings."

"My mentor said that if a shinobi who cannot complete the mission is a disgrace, then a shinobi who abandons his comrades is worse than a disgrace!"

Kakashi retorted loudly.

Hearing his words, the crowd of onlookers began to whisper.

"Shinobi also have thoughts and feelings, they are not tools..."

"If a shinobi who cannot complete the mission is a disgrace, then a shinobi who abandons his comrades is worse than a disgrace... This sentence is so perfect!"

"That seems to be true. Doesn't Hokage-sama often say that we must protect the village and our comrades at all costs?"

"To be able to say such profound words, who is the mentor Kakashi is talking about?"

The sentiment among the ninjas present started to shift in favor of Kakashi.

After all, who would want to be a tool?

"You are making excuses!"

"Sakumo did not complete his mission and is a disgrace!"

"He should be punished!"

Seeing something was wrong with the wind direction, Daisho immediately shouted loudly.

"You...?!"

Seeing the unreasonable Daisho, Kakashi was very angry, but he didn't know how to refute.

"Kakashi, when logic doesn't make sense, just rely on action."

Takuya smoothly pulled out the short blade from Kakashi's back.

Looking at Daisho who was still chattering, Takuya injected chakra into the short blade.

The powerful momentum made everyone present secretly frightened.

"You... this is none of your business!"

Daisho swallowed and said.

"He is my mentor!"

Kakashi shouted.

Only then did everyone realize that the mentor Kakashi was talking about was Takuya.

"You keep saying that Sakumo, who abandoned his mission, should die."

"Don't you think you should be the one who deserves to die the most?"

"If you hadn't held back, the mission wouldn't have failed, right?"

Takuya's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear.

After hearing this sentence, many people thought about it for a moment and immediately felt that it made sense.

Soon, the way everyone looked at Daisho changed.
