Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Qing Shui unconsciously tightened his clothes.

He wasn't even cold yet, but Tobirama Senju seemed eager to drape the straw hat and red shrine robe over him...

Senju Tobirama seemed to realize he had gone off-topic and coughed awkwardly.

After realizing Aokiji's talent and golden heart, Tobirama Senju was genuinely afraid that Aokiji would fall into the vortex of the Will of Fire, like his elder brother, believing in the strange idea of ​​mutual understanding, and forgetting that war arises from irreconcilable conflicts of interest.

Back then, Tobirama Senju was annoyed that he couldn't persuade Hashirama Senju about his strange thinking, so he could only play along and collect some benefits for Konoha. However, he still couldn't defeat Hashirama, who kowtowed at the Five Kage Summit.

Tobirama really did his best...

Having finally encountered Qing Shui, they couldn't just stand by and watch their child turn into an idiot like their older brother...

"In short, this matter is very serious. Just listen to me, Qingshui."

"I understand, Tobirama," Aozumi replied with a smile.

For a long time, the host Qingshui has been performing for the audience with all his heart and soul.

Now that the second-ranked brother is going to personally put on a grand show, Qing Shui also wants to see some entertainment.

Tobirama Senju pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

"Go find Hatake Sakumo first. I need to get firsthand information and check on his condition before making any further plans."

Qingshui nodded: "I understand."

"Brother, where are you going?"

Shisui watched as Aoshui slowly rose to his feet and asked with concern, "Are you going to find Lord Sakumo?"

"Yes, we should at least ask what happened..."

Qingshui patted Zhishui's head and said softly, "Stay home and be careful. This matter is not simple, Zhishui."

"You can graduate when you've figured things out."

Zhi Shui's face lit up with joy; his brother had finally spoken up and given him a chance to graduate!

After Qingshui left, Shisui found Might Guy and Might Guy and tried to brainstorm with the father and son, Qingchun.

"Uncle Dai, what's your take on this?"

But Might Guy's response was simple. This youthful beast of Konoha, the crazy Might Guy, just scratched his head and laughed:

"Shisui, such a question is far too profound for a genin like me."

"I've never done a classified mission in my life. I've always just been finding cats and delivering packages. If Qing Shui hadn't lent me a hand, I wouldn't even have been able to find teammates for a C-rank mission back then..."

Shisui looked at Might Guy's frighteningly muscular physique and his arm, which looked like it could punch through a steel plate, and sighed.

C-level mission?

Shisui doesn't know what Might wore before.

However, Shisui knew that Might Guy was a madman who could train his Lightning Release Chakra Mode with his own willpower, starting from a tiny current and gradually making the lightning extremely violent, and trying to train his own body at all times!

Shisui also knew that Might Guy possessed a secret technique that supposedly allowed one's strength to increase several times over in a short period of time!

In Shisui's opinion, Might Guy already possessed the strength of a Jonin, but his mind was exceptionally simple...

Might Guy frowned, seemingly lost in thought: "If my comrade is right in front of me and I don't save him, that's so against the spirit of youth. If I did something like that, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night..."

“But what if, like Mr. Sakumo, saving someone has negative consequences for the village?” Shisui countered, but he too was caught in a dilemma.

"How can this be explained using the Will of Fire?"

At this moment, the Will of Fire, with its ambiguous interpretation, finally clashed with the ninja's long-held belief that completing the mission was the highest principle.

On one hand, there are the principles of being a ninja; on the other hand, there's the Will of Fire promoted by Konoha…

Konoha ninjas are naturally bound by these two contradictory ironclad rules. In the case of Sakumo Hatake, a logical paradox was created, prompting Shisui and Might Guy to reflect.

Might Guy silently watched Might Guy and Shisui, who seemed to be in increasing pain, and shook his head.

In his view, many things don't need to be overcomplicated.

"Kai, Shizuku..."

Might Guy slowly began, "As a Konoha ninja, if I encountered a situation like Sakumo's, I wouldn't know what to do either."

"But if it is you, Qingshui, who are carrying out the mission with me, no matter what kind of criticism I may face in the future, I will not hesitate to do my best to stop the enemy for you. This is the answer that my youth has taught me."

Sometimes, you don't need to think too much; just follow your inner youth!

Might Guy said loudly, giving Kai and Shisui a thumbs up: "Is today's training not over yet?"

"Go and cultivate diligently first, otherwise, if you encounter danger in the future, you'll only be able to watch your relatives and friends make such difficult choices, and you'll only be able to shed tears of regret. That's not youthful at all!"

Shisui and Might Guy were jolted out of their deep thoughts by Might Guy's words.

As Shisui looked at Might Guy's unwavering words, his heart inexplicably began to pound...

Yes, why think so much?

In any case, if Qingshui were in danger, Shisui would not hesitate to give his life, no matter what.

Matt Kai scratched his head: "You're right, Father!"

Matt Kai's ideas were the same as his father's.

If you can't even rescue your own comrades, then your youth has already lost all meaning...

Looking at the two people who were no longer confused, Matt Day sighed inwardly, but shouted passionately, "Let's break through the confusion of youth with the sweat of today's training!"

Shizuku watched the increasingly heated discussion between Matt and his son with a thoughtful expression.

Might Guy, seemingly simple-minded, appears to possess a beast-like intuition, always managing to make the right decisions…

And at this time.

Aomizu also arrived at Hatake Sakumo's house...

What a sweaty afternoon...

Xiao Fan was sweating profusely after being severely reprimanded by his boss…

Thankfully, my supervisor didn't find out which book I was writing!

Ha ha ha ha…

Xiao Fan continued writing; there will be another update later…

Future updates may be later, and I expect to be checked up on from time to time, but fortunately I have a plan!

When you're slacking off, think about the outline, then sketch it when you get home!

Hmph, I'm such a genius (seriously)...

Chapter 115 Sakumo Hatake's Inner World: A Devastating Blow

Aozumi slowly knocked on the door of Hatake Sakumo's house.

Along the way, Qing Shui activated his sensory ninjutsu, amplifying his five senses and listening to the discussions in the village.

The situation was even worse than Qing Shui had imagined.

Not only students at the Ninja Academy, but even ordinary villagers started discussing the matter, and the buzz kept rising, as if an invisible hand was pushing everything along.

This topic is indeed sensational, as it involves the Will of Fire and the code of the ninja.

In the current ninja world, this is a moral dilemma similar to the trolley problem, putting one in a difficult position on both sides.

Tobirama Senju's expression grew increasingly grim. He had once proven with his life that the Will of Fire had warmth, but now it seemed that some people wanted to deny his sacrifice and wanted to return ninjas to the era of being merely cold tools...

After a long while, the door to Sakumo Hatake's house slowly opened.

What came into view was a man with messy, unkempt hair and dull, lifeless eyes.

In the past, Sakumo Hatake was like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath. He always smiled calmly and had an incredibly upright posture. He looked like a man you could entrust with your life, composed and confident.

But now, although his clothes are still neat, his eyes are filled with confusion and bewilderment, and his posture is unconsciously slumped, as if he is afraid of being discovered.

This stark contrast surprised even Qing Shui.

"Please come in, Qingshui-kun."

Sakumo Hatake forced a smile, went into the house, and poured a cup of tea for Aomizu: "I'm sorry, Aomizu-kun, for letting the younger generation in the village see me in such a terrible state."

Aokiji looked around the room; Kakashi wasn't home.

“Mr. Sakumo, I would like to ask you about the current rumors circulating in the village.”

Aozumi looked directly at Hatake Sakumo and said bluntly:

"Can you tell me what happened? If there are any problems, I will report them to the Third Hokage immediately. You are a hero of the village and should not be subject to such criticism."

Hearing Aomine's words, Hatake Sakumo lowered his head helplessly: "Aomine-kun, thank you for your concern..."

“You’re the first person to come see me since my mission failed, and I’m very grateful.”

"There's nothing to say about this. I did mess up the mission, causing losses to the Land of Fire and the village, and it could even have triggered a war. This is the punishment I deserve."

Qing Shui frowned.

Sakumo Hatake's purity seemed to be much higher than he had imagined...

War is not something that can be caused by just one or two missions.

Normally, the ninjas of the Anbu and Root from the various hidden villages scuffle at the border and send spies to each other's villages, but when has that ever caused a war?

If they really want to start a war, they will tear up any so-called peace agreement without hesitation.

This kind of drama has been playing out since the First Shinobi World War…

Aozumi didn't believe that even if Sakumo Hatake was too naive, he would be able to recognize this problem.

There must be another reason that truly broke through his heart.

“Mr. Sakumo, this matter is very important to me…”

Qing Shui pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:

"To be honest, if I were in the same situation as you, I would not hesitate to save my companion, even if the mission fails."

"In my opinion, breaking the rule that ninjas prioritize missions above all else is problematic, but if even comrades are not valued, then what is the Will of Fire that we have been learning all along?"
