If a ninja's path is broken, how much impact will it have on a ninja?
Kato Mitsukaze never had a specific and clear answer to this question before.
Now Kato Mitsukaze knows that his good friend Hatsuki Shigeru, Wood Leaf White Fang, used his own life to tell Kato Mitsukaze the answer to this question.
Kato Mitsukaze always thought that he understood Hatsuki Shigeru, just like a few days ago, he thought that Hatsuki Shigeru didn't have the will to die in his heart.
In Hatsuki Shigeru's heart, his reputation as a ninja is higher than everything, even his own life. The reputation of a ninja, just like his famous White Fang Dagger, should be white and pure, it should be holy, it should be the symbol of his own path in his heart.
The White Fang Dagger can be stained with the blood of the enemy and become stained. It's the medal of merit of Hatsuki Shigeru fighting for Wood Leaf in the Ninja World, but the White Fang can't be splashed with dirty and smelly blood by the people of Wood Leaf. Once it is stained with the dirty blood of the people of Hatsuki Shigeru, the White Fang will become unclean.
Back, by his own compatriots, by the village he is loyal to, this is the dirty blood that destroyed Hatsuki Shigeru's heart.
In order to protect his companions, he gave up the mission.
This doesn't seem to be a big mistake at all in the Wood Leaf Village, where the importance of companions is emphasized.
After all, the burning of the Will of Fire has always been achieved by the dedication of countless companions.
Now, because of protecting his companions, Hatsuki Shigeru was spurned by the whole village and finally committed suicide. The burning flame of the Will of Fire seemed to be blown out by the wind, but it seemed that after the wind blew, it burned more vigorously.
After receiving the news of Hatsuki Shigeru's suicide, Kato Mitsukaze rushed to Hatsuki's house with the fastest speed. In the living room where the two of them talked happily a week ago, he saw Hatsuki Shigeru's body on the floor.
Standing in front of Hatsuki Shigeru's body was the seven-year-old Hatsuki Kakashi, who had just completed the mission outside the Wood Leaf Village and returned home.
Kakashi didn't say a word, holding his father Hatsuki Shigeru's famous ninja sword, the White Fang, in his hand. On the blade of the White Fang, which was as white as snow, there were dark red bloodstains.
Hatsuki Shigeru committed suicide with the White Fang. Kato Mitsukaze didn't know the specific thoughts of Hatsuki Shigeru. Perhaps for him, since the White Fang in his hand has been stained with the blood of his own people, then he should use his own blood to wash it completely.
"Kato -sama, my father, he …"
Kakashi heard the sound behind him and found that it was his father's good friend Kato Mitsukaze. He only said half a sentence, but he was already choked with sobs and couldn't continue.
Although he didn't cry, but Kato Mitsukaze clearly saw the tears in Kakashi's eyes, and the mask on his face all year round also had a large group of tears.
Even if he has been a Wood Leaf Village ninja for more than a year, but for the seven-year-old Kakashi, seeing his father, who he usually regarded as the hero of the village, commit suicide in front of his eyes, was too big a blow.
You know, when Kakashi completed the mission and returned home yesterday, his father Hatsuki Shigeru looked normal, he greeted him with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said that he was the pride of the Hatsuki Clan, and wanted him to pass on the glory of the Hatsuki Clan.
"Kakashi …"
Kato Mitsukaze wanted to reach out and touch Kakashi's hair, just like Kakashi used to do when he was a child, but in the end, he patted his shoulder.
"My condolences."
Kato Mitsukaze couldn't say comforting words, thousands of words were stuck in his chest, and in the end, he only said two words.
Kato Mitsukaze still couldn't accept Hatsuki Shigeru's death. He thought that by banning the rumors circulating in the Wood Leaf Village, he could prevent Hatsuki Shigeru from committing suicide. For this reason, he didn't hesitate to argue with Yuanfei RIzhan and confront Shimura Danzo.
But he didn't know that once some damage is done, the scar will always stay in the heart of the victim.
Through the mask on Kakashi's face, Kato Mitsukaze saw Kakashi's lips squirming. It can be seen that he was very young and confused, he didn't know why his father, who has always been the hero of the village, committed suicide.
Kakashi knew about the rumors about his father Hatsuki Shigeru that were circulating in the village some time ago. Kakashi learned Ninja from his father Hatsuki Shigeru since he was a child, which is to protect the companions who get along with each other day and night, and at the same time, the mission is the first meaning of a ninja's existence.
Now, there is a conflict between protecting his companions and completing the mission. His father chose to protect his companions, but in the end, he was forced to commit suicide by the rumors in the village. Kakashi doesn't know if the Ninja he has always believed in has any meaning.
Kakashi raised the white knife in his hand and looked at the dark red blood on it, trying to find the answer from his father's blood.
On the white blade, his father's blood was bright red, Kakashi even felt that the red was dazzling. He could see the specific trajectory of the white knife when it pierced his father's body from the traces of blood.
Unfortunately, this bright red can't tell Kakashi the answer he wants.
"Kato -sama, is my father the hero of Wood Leaf?"
Kakashi picked up the flannel cloth that his father often used to maintain his white teeth in front of the body of his father Hatsuki Shigeru, and gently wiped the blood on the white knife, just like his father had done thousands of times.
"Yes, your father Hatsuki Shigeru, Wood Leaf's White Teeth, has always been the hero of Wood Leaf Village."
Kato Mitsukaze looked at the white knife in Kakashi's hand that had been restored to its former shiny white color. When he heard Kakashi's question, he answered without thinking.
"Is that so? I also think that my father is the hero of Wood Leaf Village, even if he committed suicide for such a reason, I still think so. "
Kakashi waved the white knife in his hand, and then handed it to Kato Mitsukaze, and then asked: "Kato -sama, tell me about my father's past, you know his temperament before, he never told me these things, I want to hear it."
"Hatsuki Shigeru, Wood Leaf 13, a member of the Wood Leaf Clan, good at using the Hatsuki Kenjutsu, with the white knife in his hand, the enemy was terrified, in the Second Shinobi World War, his name spread throughout the Shinobi World …"
Kato Mitsukaze reached out and took the white knife in Kakashi's hand, and began to talk about Hatsuki Shigeru in detail.
From the summary of his life, to the bits and pieces of the two in the Ninja Academy, to fighting side by side in the Second Shinobi World War, to the whirlpool of rumors that Hatsuki Shigeru recently faced in Wood Leaf Village.
Kato Mitsukaze didn't hide anything, and told Kakashi all the information he knew, he didn't exaggerate or say his own subjective judgment, he just described to Kakashi as if he was describing the situation of unrelated people.
Including Shimura Danzo's order to add fuel to the fire behind the Wood Leaf Village's public opinion, Yuanfei RIzhan's inaction as the Hokage, Kato Mitsukaze told Kakashi all these things.
