Chapter 178：

Hyuga Xiao had already removed the bones, and picked up the simple and honest face of the Hyuga branch boy's mask.

On the road, people talked darkly.

Relying on her excellent listening ability, Hyuga Xiao collected those words and words verbatim into her ears.

"I heard...Konoha White Fang failed to perform the mission..."

"How could this happen? He is a strong man second only to Naruto-sama..."

"Unbelievable..."

Similar words spread.

From the alleys to the streets.

People talked about confirming that this matter was not falsified.

Hyuga trot back to the mission building.

Elder Mito Menyan's face was not very good.

In the past, the ninjas were also silent in the mission building with laughter and laughter.

Haaki Sakumo's mission failed, as if it was a heavy blow to everyone.

A hero cannot tolerate any stains.

A good person can't tolerate a bad thing.

For the mission-oriented ninja profession.

If you mess up the task, it's tantamount to messing up the sign.

Hyuga, who had returned the task, hurriedly left the Hokage Building.

Walk towards the home of Shumao Hagimu.

On the road...

I heard some other things.

"Have you heard? Konoha White Fang's mission failed, causing huge losses to the country of fire!"

"A person like that..."

Hyuga Xiao passed by.

There is still no fluctuation on the face.

Waited to be near Hagaki Shumao's home.

Hyuga Xiao stopped for a while.

After a while, I saw a group of people coming out.

The one with the shortest figure wearing a mask, Hyuga met him.

It is "Hai".

The other masked ninjas should be his companions, members of "root".

finally......

The middle-aged man headed by the crowd must be "Ninosaurs Shimura Danzo."

Hyuga Xiao stood a few tens of meters away from Hagaki Shumao's home.

Observing the man quietly.

After a while...

Shimura Danzo, who seemed to be aware of it, slowed down, turned his head, and looked at each other.

At this moment.

The two completed their cognition of each other.

"..."

The corners of Shimura Danzo's mouth were curved, and a terrible shadow cast on his face.

It seems to be saying...will meet again.

Wait until they leave.

Hyuga Xiao entered the open door.

In the room.

Sakuma Hagi sat cross-legged in the living room, his expression low.

His son, Hagi Kakashi, looked at a loss.

This stinky white-haired boy in the past.

now.

Because of the failure of his father's mission, I don't know how to treat it.

Kakashi is too young.

Only 7 years old.

It's not like Hyuga Ata, who has an unshakable mentality like a steel will.

His three views were not formed.

Many things do not know what is right and what is wrong.

"Hyuga Xiao..."

Saw Hyuga Xiao coming over.

Those eyes became even more confused.

"You smell of canned herring on your face."

Hyuga Xiao said to Kakashi.

Kakashi was stunned.

Then he got up and walked towards the bathroom.

There is no rebuttal, no blasting.

This is enough to show his panic inside.

"Teacher Shuomao."

Hyuga Xiao also sat down, just across from Hagaki Sakumo.

"Ah...Hyuga, you are here..."

Sakuma Hagi raised his head and smiled, but this time, there was a little bitterness.

"I remember... when you were in the ninja school, when you graduated early, you had a question assessed."

"..."

Hyuga Xiao listened quietly.

Sakumo Hagi: "The question is... "The sinking problem", two ships, which ship should be rescued..."

There is such a thing.

Hyuga Xiao is still fresh in my memory.

"It's a coincidence...I was also tested on that question back then..."

Hyuga Xiao was able to graduate early.

Haaki Shumao is naturally better.

"My answer is the same as yours. So...at the beginning, I felt that the two of us are destined..."

"..."

"but......"

Haaki Sakuma's eyes dimmed a little.

"After all, reality is not as perfect as the answer. Sometimes, it is indeed impossible to choose to save everyone at the same time..."

The facts that Sakumo Hagiki said.

Hyuga Xiao also recognized this fact.

In this mission.

Sakumo Hagi chose to save his companions.

The result is naturally giving up the task.

But the two are different after all.

Back then, Haaki Sakumo, who was just a child, was out of goodwill and young people's enthusiasm, thinking that he could turn the tide and save everyone.

Hyuga Xiao is different.

The answer to that question is only because of the needs of the person who wrote the question and the self-cultivation of the writer.

"This mission...I messed up..."

Sakumo Hagi sighed with a long sigh of relief.

It's okay to fail the mission.

The key is to shake things up in the heart.

And this shake...

In the following days.

Will shake Haaki Shumao's heart in a more violent way.

......

Three days later.

Hagi Kakashi heard rumors about his father's negative comments from his companion on the mission.

Three more days passed.

Kakashi himself has also been criticized.

The residents of Konoha, a ninja, criticized Hagi Sakumo for inflicting huge losses on the country of fire and incidentally took him.

Later.

Kakashi's attitude towards his father Sakumo Hagi has changed.

Although there is no contradiction or accusation.

But there are fewer and fewer conversations, and the atmosphere at home is getting deeper and deeper.

This state of not standing in line, not criticizing, and not encouraging.

It is undoubtedly a "silent accusation."

This hurts Hamu Shumao's heart even more.

Even the son doesn't understand himself...

A few days later.

The companion who was originally rescued by Sakumo Hagiki.

After so many days of various thoughts, public opinions, brainwashing, and speculation.

I also began to feel that it was the fault of Sakumo Hagiki.

He believes that Sakumo Hagi should complete the task and give up himself.

And the last straw that overwhelmed the camel was...

The people who were rescued made a vigorous accusation against Sakumo Hagiki in public.

Sakumo Hagi...
