As an Uchiha I became the Jinchuriki of Senju Tobirama

Senju Tobirama pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "You go find Hatake Sakumo first. I want to get the first-hand information and see his condition before making the next plan."

Kazuki nodded. "I know."

"Brother, where are you going?" Shisui asked, worried as he watched Kazuki slowly stand up. "Are you going to find Sakumo-san?"

"Yes, I have to ask what's going on..." Kazuki touched Shisui's head and said softly: "Stay at home. This matter is not simple, Shisui."

"When you understand all this, you can graduate."

Shisui, hearing those words, smiled happily. Finally, his brother was giving him the chance to graduate.

After Kazuki left, Shisui went to find Might Duy and Might Guy, hoping to find some clarity in this situation.

"Duy-san, what do you think about this?"

But Might Duy's response was very simple. He just scratched his head and laughed. "Shisui, those kinds of problems are too deep for a genin like me. I've never done confidential missions. My life has been looking for cats, delivering packages… If it weren't for Kazuki, I wouldn't even have found partners for C-rank missions…"

Shisui looked at Duy, with his imposing physique and arms capable of piercing through a steel plate with a single blow and sighed.

Shisui didn't know what Might Duy was like before. But Shisui knew that Might Duy was a madman who could practice the Chakra Mode of Lightning Release with his own willpower, from a simple current of electricity to an electric fury that never stopped strengthening his body.

Moreover, Shisui knew that Duy had mastered a secret technique that could increase his strength several times over in a short period of time. To Shisui, Duy was already as strong as a jonin, although his mind was especially naive.

Might Guy frowned, as if he was lost in thought. "If a teammate is in danger and I don't help him, that would be against my youth. I wouldn't be able to sleep after doing something like that…"

"But what if, by saving him, you harm the village?" Shisui replied, lost in thought. "How does that fit with the Will of Fire?"

At this moment, the Will of Fire, due to its ambiguous explanation, finally collided with the highest principle that ninjas have always believed in, that is, completing tasks.

On the one hand, it is the principle of being a shinobi, and on the other hand, it is the Will of Fire promoted by Konoha...

Konoha-nin naturally have to abide by these two contradictory iron laws. It was a clash of principles, a dilemma that Shisui and Guy tried to understand.

Duy silently looked at Guy and Shisui, who seemed to be getting deeper and deeper into their thoughts and shook his head.

In his opinion, many things do not need to be thought too complicatedly.

"Guy, Shisui..." Duy spoke slowly: "As a Konoha-nin, if I encounter a situation like Sakumo, I don't know what to do."

"But if it is you and Kazuki who are carrying out the mission with me, no matter what kind of criticism I will encounter in the future, I will not hesitate to use all my strength to stop the enemy for you. This is the answer my youth tells me."

"Sometimes, you don't need to think too much, just follow the youth in your heart!"

Duy said loudly and gave a thumbs up to Guy and Shisui. "Today's training is not over yet?"

"Practice well first, otherwise when you encounter danger in the future, you can only watch your relatives and friends make such a difficult choice, and you can only regret and cry. This is not youthful at all!"

Shisui and Guy woke up at Duy's words and stopped tangling in their minds.

Shisui looked at Duy's firm will, and his heart was beating inexplicably...

Yes, why do you have to think so much?

Anyway, if Kazuki was in danger, Shisui would sacrifice his life without hesitation, no matter what the situation was.

Guy scratched his head. "That's right, father!" Guy's idea is the same as his father's. If he doesn't even rescue his companions, then youth is meaningless...

Duy sighed in his mind as he looked at the two people who were no longer confused but shouted passionately. "The confusion of youth will be broken with the sweat of today's training!"

Shisui looked thoughtfully at the enthusiastic Duy and his son.

At first glance, Duy seemed like a simple person, but his instinct was as sharp as a beast, always capable of making the right decision...

Meanwhile, in another part of the village...

Kazuki arrived at Hatake Sakumo's house...

Kazuki knocked slowly on the door of Hatake Sakumo's house.

Along the way, Kazuki activated the perception ninjutsu, magnified his five senses, and listened to the discussions in the village.

The situation was worse than Kazuki imagined.

Not only the students of the ninja school, but even ordinary villagers began to discuss this matter, and the heat was rising, as if there was an invisible big hand pushing all this.

It was a matter that certainly had enough controversy to capture everyone's attention, as it involved the will of fire and the principles of the shinobi.

In today's shinobi world, this was akin to a moral dilemma with no easy answer.

Tobirama's face grew increasingly grim as he recalled how he had risked his life to prove that the will of fire was a warm and noble force. But now, it seemed like someone was hell-bent on denying his sacrifice, as if they wanted shinobi to return to being mere cold, soulless tools…

Finally, after a long while, the door to Sakumo's house slowly opened.

What came into view was a man with messy hair and dull eyes.

Before, Sakumo was like an unsheathed sword: always smiling calmly and with a firm posture, he was the kind of man everyone trusted, solid and self-assured.

Now, although he was still dressed neatly, his gaze was lost, confused, and his posture seemed to weaken, as if he wanted to go unnoticed by the world.

This strong contrast surprised Kazuki.

"Please come in, Kazuki-kun."

Hatake Sakumo forced a smile, walked into the house, and poured a cup of tea for Kazuki. "I'm sorry to greet you like this, Kazuki-kun, in such a sorry state."

Kazuki looked around the house, and Kakashi was not at home.

"Sakumo-san, I want to ask you about the current rumors in the village."

Kazuki looked directly at Hatake Sakumo and said bluntly: "Can you tell me what happened at that time? If there is any problem, I will report it to the Third Hokage in time. You are the hero of the village and should not be criticized like this."

Hearing Kazuki's words, Hatake Sakumo lowered his head helplessly. "Kazuki, thank you for your concern..."

"You are the first person to come to see me since my mission failed. I am very grateful."

"There is nothing to say about this matter. I did mess up the mission, causing losses to both the Land of Fire and the village, and it may even cause a war. These are the punishments I deserve."

Kazuki frowned.

Hatake Sakumo's purity seems to be much greater than he thought, even excessive...

War is something that will not be caused by one or two missions.

ANBU and Root shinobi constantly conduct covert operations, infiltrate and even clash at borders, but rarely does this lead to open war.

If they really want to start a war, even if there is a so-called peace agreement, they will tear it up very simply.

This kind of drama has been staged since the First Shinobi World War...

Kazuki does not believe that even if Hatake Sakumo is too naive, he will not fail to recognize this problem.

There must be other reasons that really torment his heart.

"Sakumo-san, this matter is very important to me..." Kazuki pondered for a moment and slowly said: "To be honest, if I encounter the same situation as you, I will choose to save my companions without hesitation, even if the mission fails."

"For me, breaking the rule that the mission is everything may be questionable, but what does the will of fire mean if we ignore the value of our companions?"

"So, Sakumo-san, this is not a problem for you alone, but a problem related to the future and beliefs of the village."

Hatake Sakumo slowly raised his head and stared at Kazuki in silence.

After a long time, a hoarse voice came out of his mouth, telling the story of that day...

"I was ordered to take my team to investigate the Jinchuriki of Sunagakure. According to recent information, all the villages are beginning to train and develop their Jinchuriki, and that was making the village leaders nervous…"

"However, we were ambushed as we approached Sunagakure. Two of my comrades were surrounded, and I had to intervene. But the situation worsened when enemy reinforcements arrived."

"Finally, I managed to get them all out, but in the process I revealed my identity…"

"Sunagakure issued a stern protest against the village and broadcast it to the shinobi world. Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure also joined in, accusing Konoha of attempting to start a war and demanding sanctions for the village."

Sakumo lowered his head again.

"Kazuki, you don't have to try to convince me. As a ninja, I failed my mission and I must face the consequences."
