"If none of these apply, then why would Senior Sakumo have resorted to committing suicide to atone for his sins?"
"Why did he die from verbal attacks by Konoha itself?"
"Can past achievements outweigh past sins?"
"What was the Shadow doing back then?"
The resounding words struck Matt Kai's ears fiercely.
Not only Might Guy, but also Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai, who were on guard on either side of Ara, as well as the Konoha genin who were not very familiar with this past secret, all showed different doubts and thoughts.
The name "Konoha's White Fang" was somewhat unfamiliar to them, as were the names of other village elders like Kakashi Hatake, whose fame spanned various villages, and many others. These younger generations didn't know them very well.
What they know most and what is most widely circulated among them are the three disciples trained by the Third Hokage: the Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha.
Even though one of them was a rogue ninja the village was hunting.
"enough!"
"say no more!"
The usually calm Kakashi Hatake suddenly regained his senses and lost his composure, a rare occurrence for him.
His eyes regained focus, his crimson Sharingan resisting the genjutsu's invasion, and the past images were once again hidden deep within his consciousness.
As for the former's remarks, he naturally heard them.
However, Kakashi's absolute rationality and self-restraint kept all these wild thoughts from his mind.
However, the boy in front of him did not seem to have the awareness to know when to stop.
Or perhaps he overlooked the other person's surname, or which ethnic group they came from!
Unruly, arrogant, and needing no instruction in how to do things—that's the hallmark of the Uchiha clan!
"In my opinion, Sakumo Hatake is the hero of the village."
"Those who choose to abandon their companions and betray their families are truly trash, and truly deserve to die."
The familiar words plunged Kakashi Hatake, who had just escaped his past pain, back into another memory, reminding him of another person!
That was a fool who gave him that special eye and saved him from a life-or-death situation.
Therefore, that idiot no longer exists.
He also came from this clan.
"enough."
"enough!"
"Don't mention it again!"
Kakashi Hatake had forgotten how long it had been since he had lost his composure like this.
However, unless one is heartless and cold-blooded, it would be impossible for anyone to remain completely at ease when recalling two extremely painful events from the depths of their heart.
However, such rebukes, such words, and such an attitude that bordered on pleading were completely useless to the boy in front of him!
Sharingan,
A terrifying eye technique that can easily see into people's hearts and peer into their memories.
Its ability to subdue the enemy without fighting lies here!
Kakashi Hatake only felt a blur in his vision, and the boy who should have been standing in front of him slowly dissipated like a dream bubble, and his whole body was dragged into a new illusion as if the stars had shifted.
However, having the Sharingan as well, he knew clearly that this was an illusion, a trick used to deceive his mind.
The past is gone, an unrecoverable illusion.
He also knew very well that the most important thing he needed to do now was to get out of this fabricated illusion of the past before he was completely trapped!
Sizzle!
But just as he was making up his mind about his actions, an unusually piercing yet familiar sound of thunder suddenly jolted him to his senses.
His eyes involuntarily twitched toward his surroundings, and the entire environment became vivid and clear in a short moment. He could even smell the distinct and strong scent of blood and fire.
This was a fierce and brutal battle!
The enemy is...
My gaze fell upon the ninja's attire and headband lying in a pool of blood; he was a ninja from Kirigakure.
And the thunder, accompanied by a piercing crackling sound, became increasingly clear.
And its trajectory is as if it's rushing towards its own location!
Suddenly, Kakashi Hatake had a bad feeling, and his whole body stiffened.
If I had to mention my impression of the Hidden Mist Ninja, it would be...
Beside him, a lithe and slender young figure streaked past, trailing brilliant lightning, his target the last Hidden Mist Ninja in the area!
【No,】
【No. 】
"do not want!"
The unbearable memories buried deep in his heart gradually overlapped with this vivid scene.
A heart-wrenching roar echoed throughout the entire area, leaving everyone who knew this powerful ninja horrified and bewildered!
Since there was no real collision or confrontation between the two, what prompted this experienced and powerful elite Jonin to let out such a terrible roar?
Time is irreversible.
The past cannot be changed.
However, the memories engraved deep within their consciousness can be reproduced through various means and pathways.
"Lin."
He murmured his calls, as if he had exhausted all the energy of this elite ninja.
The single, open left pupil also looked utterly exhausted.
The image was shattered, but he was still unable to move on from it.
Things shouldn't happen more than three times.
This revisited past is the third time.
"What's wrong, Kakashi!"
"What did you do to Kakashi?!"
Might Guy, standing behind Ara, clearly saw his best friend's current state.
However, even at such a distance, he was unable to immediately discern what had happened between the two.
The questions that came out were placed in two separate locations.
However, the former had no energy to respond at the moment, and the latter completely ignored it.
"Kakashi-senpai, have you ever seriously considered who is taking everything away from you?"
"Who made you a convenient tool for the covert operations?"
"And who is squeezing your last bit of potential to train you into a better machine of war?"
"I think you should know clearly what Sasuke and Naruto Uzumaki represent and symbolize respectively."
Huang whispered seductively.
Of course, such sounds are still transmitted through condensed chakra 'threads'.
Even those who were nearby couldn't hear it.
Unless they surpass themselves in their mastery of chakra.
However, obviously not.
"To abandon a mission in order to save one's comrades—isn't that something only a hero with extraordinary willpower could do?"
"Why, by what right, should I be blamed?!"
"The ridiculous thing is, I heard that the guy who was saved also turned against us at the last minute and joined the camp of blame?"
"If that scoundrel really had such awareness, why didn't he choose to commit suicide when he needed to be abandoned? Why does he still have the nerve to live?"
Emotions can be empathized with.
Especially for ninja clans like the Uchiha, whose emotions are extremely rich, their ability to understand and experience emotions far surpasses that of ordinary people.
Therefore, even someone with a mindset like Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but make his voice sway and sound unnatural.
"The mistakes made by Senior Sakumo can be overlooked with just a simple sentence."
"Why don't they do it, or rather, why are they unwilling to do it?"
"You must understand, that was a time of war, a time when the strong were needed most!"
"Is it because you fear that your achievements will overshadow the emperor?"
At the end, Huang's voice rose slightly, raising a question.
It not only leaves room for imagination but also seems to have profound meaning.
Such speculation immediately alerted Kakashi Hatake, because this had escalated from a personal matter to an ideological one!
This made him wary and suspicious of the former's true intentions!
After all, his loyalty to the Third Hokage is beyond question.
In the past, even Shimura Danzo's attempts to sway him did not cause him to waver or betray him.
However, there is a fundamental difference between Ara and Shimura Danzo.
Because the latter's selfish motives were too heavy and too obvious; he was trying to become the next [Kage] of Konoha.
The former not only did not show such selfish motives or intentions, but also did not attempt to bring them into the same camp. They were simply subtly proposing a possible hypothesis, nothing more.
Most importantly, they share almost identical pasts.
"Land of Water - Hidden Mist Village".
