Naruto: Ming Dynasty people roaming the ninja world

"It's really hard to believe. Maybe things aren't as bad as you think. We are all ninjas from the same village. There's no need to go to this extent."

Mo Congfeng knew that this was entirely his own speculation, and it was normal for Kinoshita Ichirō to find it difficult to accept.

Kinoshita continued to defend, "Besides, Senior Jiraiya is not such a fool. He will not give in to other people's wishes just because of such a small matter, and he will not give up the candidacy for Hokage easily."

Mo Congfeng was speechless, knowing that this was indeed the case. The person who prepared such a plan would not expect Jiraiya to give in easily due to his weak character, so there must be some key step that Mo Congfeng could not imagine.

Perhaps the person hiding in the dark has another trick up his sleeve. What happens next has not happened yet, and Mo Congfeng has no way to deal with it for the time being.

Mo Congfeng made up his mind that he would spend more time with Hatake Sakumo in the coming days to divert his attention.

In the next few days, Mo Congfeng followed the expected arrangement and asked Hatake Sakumo to go out of the village to train together several times, using the excuse of disassembling the moves of the strange warrior Mu Ziying.

As expected, Hatake Sakumo's attention was diverted. Sometimes he would take Kakashi with him when he was free, and the three of them would train together. Hatake Sakumo's mood obviously improved.

The only unpleasant thing was that Mo Congfeng and Hatake Sakumo met Inuzuka Shigeo twice, but he deliberately avoided them both times. Mo Congfeng felt that he should have a good talk with Inuzuka Shigeo. After all, they were once such precious teammates, and there was no need to make it like this.

Hatake Sakumo rejected Mo Congfeng's proposal, "Perhaps the pain in Maofu's heart is heavier than mine. He may feel that he has dragged down the team and caused the failure of the mission.

Now, he is only relying on the rhetoric that the mission is more important than anything else to barely support himself. Although this is a common view in the village, he needs to think about it carefully. Maybe after a while, he will be able to get out of this predicament. "

The Third Hokage has officially approved Hatake Sakumo's request to give up his candidacy for Hokage. This matter has not been concealed. As a punishment for Hatake Sakumo's failure in his mission, it has been made public and has become a topic of private discussion among ninjas these days.

Mo Congfeng also felt relieved. Since the punishment had been officially issued, it meant that the matter could be let go.

However, something unexpected happened. The new daimyo of Wave Country, the second son of the former daimyo and the younger brother of the target of the escort mission of Hatake Sakumo, sent a sternly worded letter of accountability, expressing his sadness and anger over his brother's innocent death and his extreme disappointment in Konoha's business capabilities.

According to Li Ying, the real employer who wanted to kill his brother was the current Daimyo of Wave Country himself, and now he is pretending to be a good person here.

After the letter of accountability from the Daimyo of Wave Country arrived, the accusations against Hatake Sakumo quickly became public. Countless people who did not know the inside story began to point fingers at Hatake Sakumo, and even a child like Kakashi was not spared.

The main accusations people made were about concerns about the loss of the Wave Country's mission share, saying that the Wave Country would side with the Water Country and become the enemy of the Fire Country and so on.

Mo Congfeng was dismissive of this. It was very normal for an island country like the Wave Kingdom to turn to the Water Kingdom. The Wave Kingdom was originally under the control of the Water Kingdom.

How much of this mission does the entire country of Wave Country, which does not belong to the Fire Country, have? Mo Congfeng still doesn't care about this income.

This group of ignorant people, with a serious look on their face and an attitude of concern for the country and the people, say things they have no power to do, but they have become a sharp knife in the hands of people with ulterior motives.

The sharp blade had already pierced into Hatake Sakumo's heart, and his face became visibly worse.

On this day, Mo Congfeng came to train with Hatake Sakumo as usual. When the two were about to go out, they saw five or six ninjas gathered outside Hatake Sakumo's house and publicly accused Hatake Sakumo.

"Hatake Sakumo, you should take full responsibility for the failure of the mission to protect the daimyo's heir. At that time, you did not try your best to protect the daimyo's heir, which led to the failure of the mission.

How can a ninja like you be qualified to be a candidate for Hokage? The Third Hokage really misjudged you. Think about the damage and bad influence you have caused to the village. The punishment of losing the qualification to be a candidate for Hokage is not enough for a useless ninja like you. Hatake Sakumo, you should give up your identity as a ninja. We are ashamed to be associated with you!"

When Hatake Sakumo saw Inuzuka Shigeo standing there cowering and silent, caught up in the crowd, his face turned pale and he was unable to utter a word.

Mo Congfeng understood that these ninjas were the ones who carried out the mission with Hatake Sakumo. They were doing this now just to shirk their own responsibilities and put the main reason for the failure of the mission on Hatake Sakumo.

This is when Mo Congfeng needs to step up and say, "Who is the useless ninja? Who is unworthy of being a ninja? People like you who put your hopes of completing the mission on others and blame others for the failure of the mission, what kind of ninjas are you?

In the final analysis, the mission failed because of you useless guys. You useless ninjas can't even protect yourselves, and you still want to participate in a mission that requires protecting others. Isn't this the biggest joke?

In the end, Captain Hatake Sakumo has to protect both the target and you bunch of losers. Isn't it natural that such a mission will fail?

You bunch of useless people, just imagine, if there was only one guard ninja, Captain Hatake Sakumo, without you bunch of burdens, the mission would not have failed so easily relying solely on the strength of Captain Hatake Sakumo alone.

You bunch of trash are the main reason for the mission failure. You are too weak and you are dragging others down without even realizing it. You even push the blame for the mission failure onto others.

Such a ninja is really shameful! Do you have the nerve to call yourself a ninja? "

A ninja shouted loudly, "No one asked Hatake Sakumo for help. As ninjas, we would rather die for the mission than have a ninja like Hatake Sakumo give up the mission to rescue us!

You so-called famous ninjas are too arrogant. You totally fail to understand and respect the determination of ordinary ninjas like us to sacrifice for the village and for the mission!

You famous ninjas, since you choose to despise us, you should show your strength to complete the mission and show the same determination as us to sacrifice for the village and the mission!"

What kind of logic is this? If you want to become consumables in the eyes of others and sacrifice yourself for some village or mission, can you ask others to sacrifice themselves for some village or mission as well?

Mo felt extremely furious, he had always thought that he was one of those ordinary civilian ninjas, standing on the side of countless mediocre ninjas, sympathizing with them and even wanting to change their fate. Today, for the first time, he realized how hateful and pathetic these mediocre people who were willing to be consumables for others were!

Mo Congfeng spoke angrily, wanting to know if there was still hope for saving his former companion, Inuzuka Shigeo, "Do you think so too? Inuzuka Shigeo!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Inuzuka Shigeo, who calmed down. "For a ninja, the mission is the most important thing! For the success of the mission, a ninja can give up everything, including his own life!"

Hatake Sakumo laughed. "In order to succeed in the mission, can we sacrifice everything? Does this include the lives of our companions?"

Inuzuka Shigeo nodded with difficulty, and Hatake Sakumo slowly retreated back to the yard.
