That is, from the day when the peace negotiation team led by Lu Antler set off, Shuo Mao suddenly found that many people's attitudes towards him had changed, and when walking on the road, he could always see others pointing at him, and even seeing anger and contempt in the eyes of those people.

"Just give up the mission like that?"

"But no, it's still in the name of saving your companions..." "Shouldn't

you put your tasks first as a ninja, it's really not qualified!"

After picking up Kakashi from school, father and son went to the shopping arcade together to buy ingredients for dinner. The father and son walked there, and similar words came in their ears from time to time.

It was a confidential mission, how could it be as if the whole of Konoha knew about it?

Shuomao could not refute it, he firmly believed that he had done nothing wrong, and it was useless to explain more to ordinary villagers, so he simply ignored it.

Kakashi was held by his father's hand, and as a young man was puzzled, he looked at the gossip and then at his father, who looked resolute and did not understand what was happening.

It's just that my father doesn't want to say, even if he asks, there will be no answer, in terms of keeping secrets, my father is the strongest in the world.

As time passed, the village was as usual, there was no sign of being invaded, and on the other side, the peace negotiation team led by Shikai Antler was ambushed in a place called Tenjian Gorge when they immediately reached the border of Takinokoku.

The enemy's faces were all wearing beast head masks of various styles, and the number of people was more than double that of the Konoha Peace Talks Team, and the enemy took the terrain by surprise, and in this battle, none of the sixteen members of the Konoha Peace Talks Team survived, and all of them were buried in this place called the Tenjian Gorge.

When the news came back to Konoha, it was already two days later, and Taki no Kuni couldn't wait for Konoha's peace negotiation team, so he sent someone to ask, and only then did he know that something had happened.

This time, Ri Chop did not stop Shuo Mao again, and when Shuo Mao led people over, except for the weapons scattered on the ground, there was no complete person in sight, and all the blood stains on the stump

were ... Shuomao was rummaging through his trembling hands, even the teeth in his mouth couldn't stop trembling, and the more he searched, the more desperate he became, until he found a few tattered candy balls crawling with ants next to an almost exploded body, which made him stop as if he had been cast a body-fixing technique.

He knelt in the pool of blood, staring at the broken blood-stained candy in his palm, as if his heart had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.

He once ridiculed deer antler velvet, people who are so old always love to eat sugar, but deer antler velvet does not think there is anything wrong with this, but laughs childishly, saying, the war-torn world is so bitter, what is wrong with me wanting to eat something sweet?

This man always stuffs candy in his pocket and passes the boring time, which is his only hobby....

"Captain," someone called him.

Shuomao turned around mechanically, and the man took a step back in fright when he saw his face.

Shuomao had never felt so uncomfortable going to see someone, his legs were like lead, every step was extremely heavy, and he felt that he had no face to see Risa.

His heart is also like a corpse of a deer antler that was blown up by a detonation charm, and it can't be put together, but his sadness and sadness are simply incomparable to Lisha.

At the river where we last met, Shuomao handed Liyarn a squarely folded handkerchief, and when Liyarn opened layer by layer, he saw the sugar dregs wrapped in the innermost part, and the blood color had become dark mixed with some dirt, looking dirty and weird.

After staring at it for a long time before gradually reacting, Lisa raised her eyes with difficulty and looked at Shuomao and smiled, that smile was like a dagger straight into Shuomao's heart.

Lisha's tears slipped down from her eyes with this aggrieved smile, and the smile could no longer be maintained, and the woman's mouth skimmed and skimmed, and finally lowered her head and cried tremblingly.

The handkerchief was clenched tightly in the palm of his hand, as if he wanted to hold on to the happiness that had passed away.

"Obviously said that he will marry me, obviously said, this liar, unforgivable..." Most

of the members of the peace negotiation team this time are from the Konoha family, such as the Nara clan, the Yamanaka clan, and the Hinata clan, representing the attitude of Konoha, but even the best of these big families died in the Tianjian Gorge without exception, which shows that all the ambushes are not idle people.

The personnel who surveyed the scene handed over an item left at the scene to Hinata, who was sitting in the main seat of the conference room, it was a hanging chain with the sign of Iwahi, and as far as the situation was concerned, this thing was accidentally left behind by the ninjas on both sides when they fought each other, and the person who left it did not find it, so it was not recovered, and this time it was left at the scene.

"It seems that Yanyin and Yunyin are not preparing a surprise attack this time not the village at all, but this peace negotiation team."

The answer is obvious, but where did the secret incident of this peace talks belonging to the Land of Fire and the Land of Taki leaked from?

"Qimu Shuomao," Tuan Zang looked at Shuomao across the long and wide table in the conference room, and at this moment the silver-haired man was like a frosted eggplant, sitting there silently motionless.

"If you had been able to get their battle plan at any cost, at least we would have known what their goal was, and the failure of this peace talk, the loss of all the members of the squad was because of the kindness of the woman at that time!"

Most of the participants agreed with Tuan Zang's opinion, or perhaps they urgently needed someone to carry the pot and be responsible for this casualty, so they unanimously aimed their guns at the silent Shuomao, especially the people of several major families.

"If it weren't for you, how could this mission fail, and my uncle wouldn't have died!"

"That's exactly the case, losing more than a dozen lives for the lives of two people, are you really thinking about your companions?"

"It's all you, it's all because of you, you have to take full responsibility for this incident!"

......

Shuomao couldn't remember how he had sat there for more than three hours of meeting, and Hyugai's unilateral intercession for him could not calm the anger, and in the back, even Hinata was silent.

Out of the conference room, walking on the road in a daze, Shuomao felt that the whole world was colorless.

Immense self-blame and guilt overwhelmed him, and even the faith hanging above his head cracked.

"Am I doing something wrong?" He asked himself over and over again, but no one gave him an answer.

That night, Kakashi saw his father drinking for the first time in his life, drinking bottle after bottle without restraint, crying and laughing for a while, and the sadness was like the tide of the night, pouring on the shore one after another, engulfing people.

Kakashi stood by and looked at his father, feeling uncomfortable, he asked him why he was drinking, and his father didn't answer him, as if he couldn't hear him.

He asked his father what happened, but his father still did not answer him, and the whole person was immersed in his own world, muttering three words over and over again - "I'm sorry".

After the incident of the Tianjian Gorge, Shuomao's life in the village began to be really sad, almost everyone was accusing him, everyone said that this diplomatic failure, the peace negotiation team was destroyed because of him, it was his previous mission failure that led to the accident behind, causing Konoha and even the Fire Nation to suffer heavy losses.

A man who once wore Hokage half-sleeves and was like a hero, became a bereaved dog who was ostracized by his companions and rejected by the villagers in a blink of an eye.

Even Huang and Lan, who teamed up with him at that time, were not spared and became the target of exclusion and bullying by others.

Some hot-tempered ones even began to physically hit the two, and being beaten with a blue nose and swollen face became commonplace, and the guilt of the death of their companions made them unable to fight back, they could only bear it silently, and over time, their psychology also had problems.

That night, when Void was once again pinned into a corner and beaten up, he was bumped into by Shuo Mao on the way home.

Void, who struggled to get up from the ground with dust, saw Shuomao who was motionless and staring at him a few steps away, embarrassed to be bumped, and suddenly made people's blood rush, all the fragile anger and guilt broke the embankment at this moment, scattered to find an exit, rushing out of the brain.

"It's all because the captain didn't listen to the advice, he obviously said don't care about me, don't care about me, just continue to carry out the mission, why should the captain save us, if you don't save us, nothing will happen later, I'd rather die in the hands of Iwain and become a hero of Konoha, than live in guilt all day like now, why don't you let me die there!"

The tearing cry was hoarse, and his fists pounded against the wall again and again, he was about to collapse from this guilt and exclusion, and if he had died in Yanyin's camp at that time, it would have been much happier than now.

Shuo Mao couldn't say anything, just looked at the void with an extremely sad expression, that sadness could engulf a soul.

"It's me who is too cowardly," the fist that pounded the wall unloaded little by little, facing Shuomao with a weak face, he knew in his heart that there was nothing wrong with Shuomao who wanted to save himself, but he could no longer withstand the pressure and urgently needed to find someone to vent.

The whole face was buried in the wall, and the voice was whimpering and sad, "I should have committed suicide, or let the green crocodile kill me with that kunai, why am I still alive..." When

he heard the word suicide, Shuomao's sad eyes instantly widened, his heart was beating fast at this time, his brain was blank, his Adam's apple moved up and down, he took a dry breath of air, and then silently turned around and left the place.

Shuomao hadn't been out of the house for three days since that night, lying in his room, not eating, drinking, or sleeping. As long as he closed his eyes, there were stump and blood stains all over the cliff of Tianjian Gorge, and as soon as he closed his eyes, the face of deer antler velvet would appear, and he said to himself with a happy look that he had a sweetheart, and he would get married when he returned from peace talks, and let himself bless him, but in a blink of an eye, there would be a sad and crying face of Risa.

Shuomao lay on his back on the bed, his arms on his face to cover his eyes, but the tears could not be stopped, running down the corners of his eyes and pooling into a small pool at the cochlea.

The immense self-blame and guilt overwhelmed him, and it was the first time he had cried since his wife's death.

In the past, he always felt that as a man could not shed tears easily, but now, he is extremely helpless, even if he thinks that it was right to rescue Void and Arashi at that time, but in the face of the dozen or so lives that died this time, he couldn't say this kind of thing if he was right.

Especially Deer Antler Velvet, the man who treats him as a big brother, even before leaving, comforts himself that he is doing right, and if he does not even cherish his companions who were born into death, everything he does is meaningless.

However, he paid with his life because of his mistakes.

Outside the bedroom, young Kakashi stood quietly by the door, and through the door panel he could faintly hear his father's suppressed cries, which had never been heard before.

What happened?

Kakashi looked at the floor in a daze.

He didn't know how to comfort his father, so he thought, let's go buy vegetables and cook, his father has not eaten much in the past few days, he makes a delicious meal, maybe his father will have an appetite and will want to eat a little.

In fact, at this time, Kakashi was a little flustered, always felt that something bad was going to happen, he tried to do what he could, so that he looked busy and not idle, but why he made himself look busy, he couldn't explain clearly, he always felt that he had to do something.

Kakashi put on his shoes and ran to the shopping street, buy fish, mackerel, and buy some vegetables that his father liked to eat, uh-huh, it would be good, and his father would definitely eat a little.

Kakashi walked on the shopping street and calculated, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at the fish shop, it was not yet afternoon, so there were not many people who bought fish, and the fish shop owner was grinding his teeth with a man, and the topic was naturally the most talked about incident in the Tenjian Gorge recently.

Kakashi stood silently in the corner and listened to the whole process of the incident, which his father would never say or ask. From going to the Iwain camp to steal the contents of the battle plan, until the peace negotiation team was ambushed in the Tenjian Gorge, Kakashi, who was word-for-word, heard it all.

Although Kakashi was young, he was already at the level of Naka Shinobi at that time, and he had his own understanding of mission and death.

However, he did not allow others to criticize his father, who was a heroic existence in Kakashi's heart, so his father's choice to save his companions and abandon the mission must have been his consideration.

"If it wasn't for Kiki Shuomao to give up the mission, how could there be an ambush in the back peace talk team, blame him for being too emotional, how can such a person be considered a qualified ninja, really!"

"But isn't it, the peace talks were forced to cancel, what a loss for us, I can't sleep at the thought that there may be another war in the future..."

With a gloomy child's voice, a sad and sad suddenly appeared behind the two people, which startled the two of them, and the two turned around at the same time and saw Kakashi with a fierce face.

Although the child is small, the aura exuding from Zhou's body is stronger than that of an adult, which is quite terrifying.

"Hey, isn't this the little ghost of the Qimu family?"
