Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 76 Guidance

Seeing that Kakashi didn't react much to the poisonous chicken soup he had just been given, Toshiro couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

He wasn't very good at comforting people in his past life.

Moreover, Kakashi may look young, but he has a very strong sense of right and wrong and is extremely intelligent.

Everyone has their own thoughts and judgments about everything. You can't treat the other person like an ordinary five or six-year-old child and try to fool them.

"There's one more thing, Kakashi..."

As he spoke, Toshiro turned to look at Kakashi Hatake, his face serious. It seemed he wanted to show him that his words came from the bottom of his heart.

I don't know if what he's about to say is right or wrong.

Because what he said was completely opposite to what Kakashi was doing, and it was not what the village advocated.

The village is now promoting what Kakashi is doing. But watching him argue with his companions and seeing his cold expression, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

Having such a conversation with Kakashi rashly, if it gets out, would not be a good thing for either him or the Chiha clan.

"..."

Seeing that the other person still had that indifferent expression, continuing to stare at him with those dead fish eyes, Toshiro couldn't help but wonder if it was inappropriate for him to try to comfort the other person like that.

However, upon closer observation, it was noticed that the other person's demeanor was slightly different from before when they had been aloof. Although they didn't seem particularly close, they weren't exactly rejecting his advances either.

"Although there are many rumors circulating in the village, I have always believed that your father, 'Konoha's White Fang,' was a hero!"

"I may not be able to do what your father did, to make saving his comrades his 'ninja way' and to follow his own path!"

"But I don't think your father was wrong! Companions should be more important than the mission!"

After saying these words, Toshiro looked at the stunned Kakashi Hatake, said nothing more, patted him on the shoulder, waved, and left with a flourish.

After saying this, he walked past Kakashi. It's best not to discuss things that go against the village's policies in public.

Otherwise, if he were accused of being politically incorrect, he'd be in deep trouble. Being an Uchiha already makes his identity somewhat sensitive. Adding this incident, wouldn't he become a thorn in the side of certain people?

Kakashi, seemingly startled by Toshiro's words, stood there in a daze for a while before suddenly snapping out of it and reacting.

"A hero?"

Watching his figure walk further and further away, gradually disappearing around the street corner, Kakashi muttered to himself.

He was momentarily lost in confusion. He didn't know whether the ninja principles he followed or the path his father had taken were right or wrong.

His father, Hatake Sakumo, abandoned his mission to save his comrades. He was condemned by the village, the ninjas, and almost everyone, including his own comrades.

During that darkest period, almost every day, a large number of ninjas and civilians would gather outside his own courtyard.

They kept hurling insults and accusations at their father, saying he shouldn't have abandoned the mission and caused such great damage to the village. Even the companion their father had saved eventually joined them.

Unable to bear the immense pressure of public opinion and the guilt in his heart, the father chose to end his own life, leaving him alone in this world.

But now suddenly someone tells him that his father is a "hero".

His father made the right choice.

For a moment, he was at a loss.

"Father, what should I do?"

Looking back on the time I spent with my teammates since graduation, I recall the various conflicts that occurred between us in order to better complete our missions.

Kakashi was momentarily lost in thought, muttering to himself. At the same time, he placed his hand on the "White Fang" short blade behind his back, seemingly seeking an answer.

"No, the mission is more important than my comrades, otherwise my father wouldn't have died!" As his hand touched his father's 'White Fang' short sword, Kakashi suddenly thought of the cause of his father's death.

If the father is right, and he truly is a hero, then why do those people criticize and curse him outside every day?

If the father was right, then he wouldn't have left him so quietly that night.

"Father, I won't make the same choice as you. I will complete my mission; that's what makes a qualified ninja!" Gripping the hilt of 'White Fang,' Kakashi reaffirmed his resolve. Then, with his hands in his pockets, he walked towards home.

However, his steps were much lighter than before. It seemed that having someone acknowledge his father was a great encouragement to him.

At that moment, Toshiro had no idea that after he left, Kakashi's heart was going through such a complex struggle.

And because of the cause of his father's death, he ultimately chose to prioritize his mission and take the ninja's experience as his guiding principle.

If Toshiro knew the final outcome, he would surely sigh and realize that he was indeed not Obito Uchiha, and his bond with Kakashi was not deep.

He also lacks the talent for persuasion, unable to change him with just a few words and a dose of toxic positivity. In the end, Kakashi still needs to be reformed by this future big boss.

He simply saw his favorite character from the original work, caught between missions and companions. He made the wrong choice regarding the mission, a choice completely opposite to his future decisions and contrary to Hatake Sakumo's "ninja way," which was somewhat regrettable.

At this moment, he was strolling along the bustling streets of Konoha, casually passing the time.

Suddenly he saw a familiar shop ahead, and a long queue in front of it.

It's "Three-Colored Dumplings"! Come to think of it, it's been so long since I visited Mika-nee. If I don't go soon, she'll probably throw a tantrum next time she comes to our house.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Toshiro feels that Mika's temper has gotten much worse since she got married. She's also become more and more long-winded, and she'll often drag me into long-winded lectures.

Yes! Women need to be coaxed! Otherwise, when they get angry, you're the one who suffers!

Having made up his mind, Toshiro also joined the tail of the group, becoming one of them.

By sheer luck, it was Toshiro's turn before the last serving of "Three-Colored Dumplings" sold out.

After paying the bill readily, Toshiro carried the paper bag containing the dumplings and headed towards his family's residence.

[Dinner tonight was at Sister Meixiang's house!]

Wow, a friend actually voted for me with a monthly pass! I'm so excited! I have to say, I'll post five more chapters if I don't say anything else!
