Chapter 8 Choice
Uchiha Jing has completely used the class time to rest.
Listening to the teacher’s explanation on the stage, my sleep quality improved and I could use all my time at night for spiritual practice.
The teachers at the ninja school could do nothing about this. After all, even if he slept every day, he would always be the first in science and practical subjects at the end of every semester.
They all took the initiative to ask Uchiha Jing to help him apply for early graduation, but Uchiha Jing was unwilling.
The kids here speak sweetly, have delicious lunch boxes, and sleep well, so why do they need to graduate?
Why bother being a Genin to catch cats and dogs, escorting a caravan and eating ration pills?
Although the relations between countries are still very tense, the cause of the Third Ninja World War has not yet appeared.
That was the disappearance case of the Third Kazekage.
Sasori's parents were killed by Konoha's White Fang Hatake Sakumo while on a mission during the reign of the Third Kazekage.
Considering that the Wind and Fire countries had signed an alliance agreement, the Third Kazekage did not allow Scorpion to retaliate.
Of course, it may also be because the Third Kazekage knew that Scorpion was no match for White Fang and was worried about him taking action.
So Scorpion transferred this hatred to the Third Kazekage, and somehow killed him and turned him into a human puppet.
After that, the Sand Village couldn't find the Kazekage, so as they searched, they started fighting with Konoha.
Then other ninja villages joined in, and the brutal Third Ninja World War began.
This is the first ninja war in which all five major ninja villages participated since the ninja village model.
He also trained boss units such as Uchiha Obito and Kabuto Yakushi for the Fourth Ninja World War.
Yellow flash, AB combination, Scorch Release Ye Cang, Copy Ninja Kakashi...many powerful people also became famous in this battle.
It's funny to say that the most famous Sharingan ninja in the Third War was actually a foreigner, Kakashi.
It seems that by the end of the war, Shisui had grown up, that kid...
I hope that the education he receives from childhood can change his saintly nature.
……
school.
Kakashi, who had skipped school for a day, leaned against the door. When he saw Uchiha Kagami approaching, he stood up straight.
"Jing, my father wants to see you, please!" As he said this, he bent down 90 degrees to greet him.
No matter how badly Kakashi was beaten by Uchiha Kagami in the past, he had never been so humble.
The medicinal bath was scheduled after Uchiha Jing’s training, so there was still enough time.
Hatake House.
The few lights provided little light, making the inner hall seem a little dim.
Uchiha Kagami walked in alone and saw the famous Konoha White Fang in the ninja world.
His originally tall and strong body now looks like a skeleton supporting flesh and skin.
His hair was white and withered, and his eyes had almost no light.
Although he was in his thirties, which was the prime time for ninjas, Hatake Sakumo was full of decay.
"It's Jing-kun, right? Kakashi often mentions you." His voice was hoarse, as if it was difficult for him to finish a sentence.
"Hello, Hatake Jonin."
Uchiha Kagami doesn't like to find topics to talk about, so he waits for Hatake Sakumo to speak.
"Your words were conveyed to me Kakashi, Mirror-kun. Your Sharingan is more perceptive than any Uchiha I have ever met."
"I really can't figure it out. Can I borrow your wisdom?"
"Tell me...what is right."
Uchiha Jing frowned slightly. He was not good at psychological counseling.
Let's get straight to the point.
"Hatake Jonin, do you know who leaked the contents of this mission?"
“…I roughly guessed it.”
"It should be the Hokage's assistant, Danzo-sama."
"The Hokage didn't stop what Danzo did, and that's the situation." Uchiha Kagami stated the facts directly.
"You wanted to commit suicide because your filter about the third generation was shattered, right?"
"What does filter mean?"
"It means that you cannot see his true appearance. From your perspective, three generations have always been perfect and generous elders."
"Jingjun's metaphor is very appropriate..."
"So... why is the Third-generation Master unwilling to help me..."
"How can he help you? The news has already been made public. Is he going to say that companions are more important than the mission?"
"In that case, will the missions of the Daimyo and the nobles still be needed? Who will still trust Konoha?"
"You said the mission is more important than your companions?"
"Then what about the will of fire he has always advocated and cherishing his companions? How will the people in the village view him?"
“This is an unsolvable problem.”
Hatake Sakumo remained silent.
Uchiha Jing said slowly: "The Third Hokage is a human being. As long as he is a human being, he will have selfish desires. He will not overturn the foundation of his life for you."
"Besides, the fact that you have been involved in such an incident is also a good thing for the Third Generation. After all, people with stains are not qualified to compete for the Fourth Generation."
"I never thought about becoming the fourth generation!" Hatake Sakumo raised his voice a few degrees.
"It doesn't matter whether you want to or not, what matters is that you have the ability to do it."
Uchiha Kagami's cold gaze shattered Hatake Sakumo's last bit of fantasy.
"From their perspective, there is nothing wrong with this behavior. I guess even they wouldn't have thought that you would think about committing suicide because of this."
"They just want a stained knife, not a possible jade tool."
"In my opinion, after this incident, they will turn you from the light into the dark and use you for some shameful things."
"What would they...think of me doing..."
Uchiha Jing pointed at himself and said with a smile: "Isn't this a good idea? I will use you to deal with Uchiha."
"We Uchiha are the biggest destabilizing factor in their eyes."
……
……
"Jingjun, we are all from the same village, why..."
"There is no reason. As long as people gather together, there will be fighting."
"Only by intimidating others can people experience the pleasure of being superior to others."
“That’s the poison called power.”
"…I am so much older than you, but I still don't see things as clearly as you do…"
"Normal, you have no education."
"I also spent a few years in the Ninja School..."
"We are not talking about the same thing." Uchiha Jing waved his hands impatiently. He had said too many lines today, which did not fit in with the Uchiha's cold personality.
"I won't say anything to enlighten you. If you really can't bear it, committing suicide is indeed a good way to escape."
"Anyway, Kakashi's mother died a long time ago, so it doesn't matter if his father dies too."
……
Uchiha Jing said so much, but in fact the last sentence played a decisive role.
Can Kakashi, who is not yet a ninja, really adapt to life without a father...
Hatake Sakumo is a war orphan. He has been without parents since he can remember, so it is actually difficult for him to imagine the pain of losing his parents.
If Kakashi was already a ninja, he could still comfort himself and believe that Kakashi could endure it...
He hadn't eaten for several days. He moved his body with difficulty and sat down in front of Uchiha Jing who was sitting cross-legged.
"What should I do, please tell me."
Hatake Sakumo is a knife. Once he is allowed to think for himself, he can easily get into a dead end.
He is still used to finding someone he trusts and following their instructions.
The corners of Uchiha Jing's mouth rose slightly.
"It's simple. No matter what decision you make, even if it's wrong, you have to stick to it."
"Go beat up all those guys who say you're wrong, and tell them that partners are more important than missions!"
"If you don't accept it, beat them until they accept it. It's okay even if you break their limbs. If you can't get enough of it, you can kill one or two of them."
"Anyway, you'll only be in jail for a few years at most. With your achievements, you won't be sentenced to death."
……
"I understand..." Hatake Sakumo pondered for a while, then looked up at Uchiha Kagami.
"Kami-kun, it looks like you've already chosen which side you're on between the Uchiha and the village."
Uchiha Jing shook his head.
"It's not my choice of side."
"It's whichever side chooses me that will be the winner."
