Chapter 187

   "Oh? Then can you figure it out? Is the mission more important, or the companion?"

   Kakashi looked at Satoru's joking smile and wanted to punch him...

   But he wisely suppressed this irrational impulse.

   "I...I don't know."

   Kakashi scratched his messy hair in distress:

   "I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I can't figure it out..."

   "Well, this question has different views from different angles. Although you are already a Chunin, you still have too little knowledge, and the lack of experience is not enough to support you to make your own judgment."

  Satoru stretched out his hand and pressed Kakashi's ravaged white hair into a chicken coop:

   "However, what was the original intention of the first Hokage-sama to set up the village, you should know?"

   "Yes... to protect everyone, protect children, protect inheritance..."

   Kakashi's Will of Fire study is obviously still qualified.

   "Well, the original intention of the village's existence is to protect the companions, and the task is only a necessary condition for maintaining the existence of the village.

  If you can sacrifice your companion for the mission, then the mission is complete, where is the companion you want to protect?

   If there are more tasks, you need to sacrifice your companions to complete. In the long run, who can become your companions and who will form the village?

   Of course, if you give up the mission and cause heavy losses to the village, it is definitely something your father doesn't want to see... So he used his personal strength to try to complete the mission on the premise of protecting his companions.

   Only, because of something damn, he failed. "

   "Something...damn?!"

   Kakashi was stunned for a moment, thinking of what Shikaku said before, he suddenly understood:

   "Someone wants to hurt Dad?!"

   "Do you think that with your father's strength, there is no absolute certainty that he would do this? Before you were born, 'Konoha White Fang' was also known for being ruthless on the battlefield."

   "I believe he will kill all the enemies with his companions behind his back, and then come back with his companions after completing the mission!"

   Wu sneered:

   "Your father may not have noticed, maybe he has noticed, but his pride does not allow him to shirk the fact that he has failed to other things, so this is the reason for this--

   The higher-ups couldn't explain it, and he couldn't speak up himself. "

   "Then, just so 'coincidentally', the mission records that had been ordered to be sealed by the top management, in just one night, no one in the whole village knew about it, no one knew about it!"

  “…”

   Kakashi was stunned, a mission failed, and there are so many things behind it? !

   But Satoru's father is a high-level advisor, the junior brother of the three generations of Hokage, Mito Gate Yan, the news he said is undoubtedly true!

   "It's even more than that... If you don't control it, there will be more ugly things, and then there are likely to be bad things happen..."

  A cold light flashed in Wu's eyes, causing Kakashi to shiver involuntarily:

   "So, next, you are responsible for calming Captain Sakumo's emotions, and leave the rest to me."

   "From my point of view, talent is the foundation. Be a person first, and then do things. Minato is right. Your father is a person first, and a ninja second.

   And a guy who ignores his companions may be a qualified ninja, a qualified task tool, but never a qualified person. "

   "The Hidden Village of Konoha is a way for ninjas to stay warm and survive in this world.

  The interests of the village can be higher than the interests of individuals. Individuals can choose to sacrifice for the village formed by their companions, and of course they can choose to sacrifice for the companions who form the village.

There is no difference between    tasks in the village and companions in the village, and no one can criticize a person with this kind of consciousness. "

  Satoru stood up, turned and walked inside:

   "The era of ninjas is not eternal, but people are always the protagonists of the era."

   "The world can be without ninjas who will do anything to complete the task, but it cannot be without people who are united and help each other."

  “…”

   staring blankly at Satoru's back, Kakashi only felt that the world he had come into contact with had changed dramatically since he became sensible.

   "It turns out...that's it!"

   "I'm... as expected, I'm still a child..."

  …

   "Captain Sakumo, are you okay?"

   Walking into the living room, Satoru saw Sakumo Hatake, who couldn't laugh or cry, being enlightened by the crowd.

   "Ah, ah... a group of you suddenly appeared, I don't have time to think about it now."

   Seeing Satoru come in, everyone stopped their messy persuasion, but Hatake Sakumo looked pretty good.

   "Dad! You look so much better!"

   Kakashi's surprised voice, who came in later, made Satoru certain that Hatake Sakumo's previous state was indeed not very good.

   "Really... Thank you so much, Satoru, thank you for bringing everyone here."

   Hatake Sakumo heaved a sigh of relief, this group of people can basically be regarded as his juniors or subordinates, but they are different from himself, and they are not alone:

   "I just realized now that I'm not alone."

   "Well...I have a general understanding of what happened. You can rest assured that this matter will calm down soon. You did nothing wrong. Dad also asked me to tell me something. The high-level can't come forward. I hope you can understand."

   "...So it is, I understand."

   Hatake Sakumo is worthy of being Hatake Sakumo. He was stuck in a dead end before thinking about this at all, but Satoru's hint made him understand it all at once.

   "Advisor has been bothered, I won't have a problem."

   "That's good - it's rare for everyone to get together like this. In order to celebrate Captain Sakumo's 'breaking the taboo' and stick to his heart, I treat guests - let's have a banquet!"

   "Oooh-!!"

  The atmosphere of joy filled the Hagi family for a while.

  …

   At the Anbu quest, Satoru's mirror clone looked at the quest scroll in his hand and snorted coldly.

   This quest scroll was sealed by the high-level, and the quest process described in detail by Hatake Sakumo.

   is just in front of Wu, as long as it exists, there is no such thing as being sealed.

   "Sure enough, with Konoha White Fang's attack power and dash speed, it will delay the information? There are endless traps and enemies in the middle, and he knows his fighting habits like the back of his hand!"

   "If you die without leaving a corpse, there will be no proof if you die. Hahaha, old bastard, I don't need evidence at all."

   "The teammate who was rescued... is another guy like a background board, an ordinary special Jōnin, not Anbu. I would say that if there was such a guy in Anbu, it would have fallen apart."

   "The action must be fast. We all understand the weight of the parties involved, old thing."

The    mirror clone disappeared from the spot without causing any movement.

   After a while, the mirror image appeared in front of an ordinary house.

   "Dong Dong Dong!"

   "Please come in..."

  The door opened, and the young ninja who opened the door had a haggard face, and was slightly taken aback when he saw the mirror image avatar wearing a cat-face mask.

   "Anbu, 'Oku', came for the matter of Hatake Sakumo, especially Kamunin Mizuki Ken, please cooperate."
