章 67: Chapter 67 Gentle And Just People Are Always Difficult to Survive

In the Uchiha Clan's territory, in a mansion.

A middle-aged Shinobi, who seems to be about 30 years old, and a young Shinobi in his twenties sat on his knees, and the atmosphere seemed a little quiet.

"I can't imagine that White Fang-sama chose to end his life in this way!"

"Alas, if White Fang can become the Hokage, with his character, he might be able to change the current situation of our Clan!"

"Yashiro-senpai, do you think that the death of White Fang-sama has something to do with us?"

"Clan Head, you are worrying too much. Although our clan is feared, it is not to this extent!"

"It's me who's overthinking it." Uchiha Fugaku nodded and sighed again, sighed again, "Unfortunately I am still too young, and my prestige cannot convince the public!"

"This kind of thing can't be rushed. We can only subtly change everyone's thoughts." Yashiro looked solemn, "Compared with the clan, I think you should pay more attention to the changes in the outside world!"

"I'll have to trouble senpai with the matter within the clan." Uchiha Fugaku nodded, and hesitantly said, "As for the outside world, should we bet on the Fourth Hokage in advance?"

"Although Orochimaru's attitude towards us has always been detached, we may be able to get him..." Yashiro was sighing, only to find that the man in front of him had been frowning knit, "Clan Head, what's wrong with you?" "

Fugaku pondered for a moment and said, "Sorry, senpai, I am more optimistic about Namikaze Minato compared to Orochimaru-sama."

"Namikaze Minato?" Yashiro pondered blankly, before recalling after a while, "The disciple of Jiraiya?"

Fugaku nodded and said, "Although I don't approve of the Will of Fire, but I have to say that someone who really comprehended this will can only be him!"

Yashiro was shocked and said, "I didn't expect that you are so optimistic about him, but he is still too young. His strength and reputation cannot be compared to Orochimaru."

Fugaku smiled and said, "In terms of strength and prestige, White Fang-sama should still be above Orochimaru-sama, right? But what about the ending? What Hokage-sama wants is to choose someone who can truly inherit his... No, it should be Shōdaime-sama's will!"

Yashiro was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly, "Perhaps you are right. Moreover, it's better to support him when he's still at the bottom, but... how are you going to contact him?"

Fugaku's expression was solemn. 'If my analysis is correct, it means that Sandaime might really value Namikaze Minato.'

'In this case, approaching rashly will only be counterproductive.'

At this moment, there was a commotion in the courtyard.

"It's amazing, it's amazing! "

"Yeah, senpai is really a monster! "

Hearing one of the familiar voices, Yashiro couldn't help but look embarrassed, "I'm sorry to let you see something shameful."

Fugaku chuckled lightly. "As a child, it's good that he is very lively."

At this time, the excited two finally saw the situation clearly, and hurriedly saluted:

"Father/uncle, Clan Head!"

Seeing that there were other children around, Yashiro couldn't scold his son, "Shūnen, what are you talking about?"

Hearing this, Shūnen was also excited, "There's a match in our Academy, this is an ultra-high-level showdown between A-Rank Ninjutsu!" "

When he heard it is a match in the Academy, Yashiro was still very calm, but after hearing A-Rank Ninjutsu, he was so shocked that his eyes are about to popped out.

'Even among Jonin, A-Rank Ninjutsu is an absolute killing move. When did this level of Ninjutsu appear in the Academy?'

Thinking of this, he couldn't help ask, "Is it a Jonin who wanted to become a teacher? "

Shūnen and Obito shook their heads simultaneously, "No, it's a match between a first-year student and a second-year student. "

The corner of Yashiro's mouth twitched upon hearing this, and when he was about to start scolding, Fugaku stopped him, "Is one of them Hatake Kakashi? "

"Hatake?" Yashiro was surprised.

"White Fang-sama's son. "Fugaku nodded.

"No wonder. "Yashiro showed complicated emotion, as almost all of their generation grew up in the shadow of White Fang.

"What about the other one?"

"It's Sōseki."

"Sōseki? "Yashiro's eyes lit up," Is it the kid who got you back on track?"

Shūnen said without the slightest embarrassment, "It's him, haha, I was able to fight Sōseki back and forth last year. But now, I guess I won't even last for more than five seconds!"

Hearing this, Yashiro and Fugaku are both extremely surprised. No matter what, Shūnen is a genius who can awaken his Sharingan at the age of seven, but he actually looks down upon himself like this.

And Obito, who is on the side, nodded in agreement, "Well, senpai is a genius who can develop A-Rank Ninjutsu at the age of six after all!

Pfft!

This time, both Fugaku and Yashiro spurted out the water in their mouths.

'It's already an exaggeration to be able to master A-Rank Ninjutsu at this age. As for developing A-Rank Ninjutsu, is this something that people can do?'

Seeing that the two older men are so excited, Obito quickly explained, "In fact, senpai said that he just provided inspiration and ideas, and the rest of the details are all completed by the Minato-senpai. "

'This become a little bit more acceptable...' The two sighed in unison, and then both stared at Obito again, "What's the first name of the Minato you mentioned?"

Obito shivered with fright, "Namikaze Minato!"

Fugaku and Yashiro looked at each other and smiled, and then looked at the two amiably, "How old is that Sōseki? Are there any female students close to him? In the future, we should bring him to our clan to play more, we also have many cute Uchiha girls! "

Obito and Shūnen glanced at each other in dismay, 'It's over, Clan Leader and father/uncle seem to be broken!'

...

Konoha Hospital.

Kakashi lie on the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling silently in a daze.

At this moment, there is a sound from outside the door.

"Kakashi, can I come in? "

Hearing this voice, Kakashi's dead eyes fluctuated a little.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Please come in."

Sōseki walked into the ward, closed the door, and sat on the chair beside Kakashi.

"Senpai, are you...okay?"

"Actually, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and have been considering whether to talk to you once." Sōseki's face was solemn, "Because... the words you said before you fell yesterday."

Kakashi looked indifferent, "Do you want to talk to me about that trash?"

"It's uncomfortable to say something that goes against your heart, isn't it?"

"I don't."

"If you really think so, you won't challenge me with White Fang-senpai's sword!" Sōseki stared into Kakashi's eyes.

"I, I just want to prove that I am different from that trash!" As if not daring to look directly at Sōseki, Kakashi turned his head awkwardly.

At this moment, a barrier was formed.

Kakashi turned his head back in surprise, only to see Sōseki smiled and said, "The next words are just some of my personal guesses. It won't be good if they are heard and misunderstood by others, so I set up a sound-sealing barrier for the time being."

Kakashi was not surprised that Sōseki could use this simplest form of barrier, but he was also aroused by curiosity after hearing Sōseki's words, and a little bit of hope that he didn't even know what he was looking forward to!

Sōseki then showed serious expression, "First of all, do you think White Fang-senpai is powerful?"

Kakashi was silent for a moment and then answered, "Everyone I have met has marveled at his power!"

"Yes, he is a very powerful Shinobi that even my sensei admires!" "Sōseki sighed softly, and then changed the conversation, "So, do you think such a powerful Shinobi would not have tenacious will?" "

Light flashed in Kakashi's eyes when he heard this, but he still said, "Isn't his suicide the best example?"

Sōseki shook his head lightly, "Then let me ask from another angle. I heard that White Fang-senpai's condition has not been very good for the past few months, is it true?"

Kakashi then said with some complaints, " It's all his fault for being nosy and save those irrelevant people!"

"Will the results change? Maybe, when the time comes, the public opinion would become that White Fang-senpai is too cold-blooded?"

Kakashi was stunned, and stammeringly asked, "How, how is it possible? The person who completes the mission is a hero!"

"Who knows, this is just a guess." "Sōseki then changed the subject with a smile, "However, when White Fang-senpai made this decision, maybe he was thinking, he doesn't want you to have a cold-blooded father!"

Kakashi's eyes are full of confusion.

Sōseki continued, "Actually, it's a little strange. White Fang-senpai is not in good health, so why does he still go on missions so often? This is not a wartime state where there are a lot of emergency missions! "

Kakashi clenched the sheets in his palm. "You mean, someone was targeting him?"

Sōseki shook his head, "I don't know, these are just some guesses of mine. After all, if there is a real misunderstanding, it must be hard to be misunderstood by your own son!"

Kakashi shook his head frantically, seemingly unwilling to believe the answer, "Impossible, he is so strong, who can target him?"

Sōseki sighed softly, "What if it's because of you?"

Kakashi was shocked, "Could it be that he was afraid that I would be targeted, so..."

"All this is just my guess, maybe White Fang-senpai is really a coward?" Sōseki smiled and stood up. "Shouldn't it be up to you to uncover the truth here?"

Kakashi breathed heavily and said, "You are right. I need to uncover it, whether he is a hero or a coward, at least, I should find out those things myself!"

Seeing Sōseki turning around and walking outside, the right hand wrapped in bandages was also drenched with blood because of the forcing forming hand seal.

Tears welled up in Kakashi's eyes as he is moved, "Senpai, thank you! "

Sōseki waved his head without looking back, and sighed softly, "It is always difficult for gentle and just people to survive, because this world is neither gentle nor just!"

"Neither gentle nor just..." Kakashi muttered to himself, and while looking towards Sōseki, his eyes burned with scorching flames, "If it was you, senpai, you would definitely be able to create a just world! "
