Blind Uchiha and Platinum Star

Chapter 278 Chapter 270: Uchiha Shisui, defection?
Perhaps because of the backlight, the Hokage office in the afternoon looked a little dark and cloudy under the bright sun.

It's like Uchiha Seiichi's current brain.

From Kakashi finding himself, to the moment Minato revealed the truth.
Everything that happened in this short period of time made him feel extremely unreal.

When the words Uchiha Shisui's defection appeared in Seiichi's mind.

His first reaction was actually to relax.

Because Zhishui didn't die, nor did he fall on the battlefield that shouldn't have fallen.

This means that no matter what happened, there is still room for redemption.

There is only the word 'death', even if he Uchiha Seiichi and even Uchiha Madara are difficult to overcome.

Anything is possible as long as you don't die.

But then when his brain really ran through the meaning of these words, it seemed to be in a daze again.

"Zhishui defected?"

"...Don't make such jokes with me, okay?"

Seiichi who threw down his mask to show his determination, at the moment the expression on his face seemed to be dumbfounded and incredulous, showing an extremely distorted and puzzled face.

Uchiha Shisui. This guy who will expose his trump card to Konoha and is willing to use the other gods once in decades to 'persuade' the patriarch not to rebel
How could it have anything to do with the word defection?

It means that the Anbu team where Shisui was almost wiped out was moved by Shisui?
How can it be!

That guy can't even be cruel to the enemy!

There must be something wrong with this!

Seiichi's appearance made Minato also take a deep breath: "I am also surprised by this information. In my impression, Shisui-kun will never be such a person."

"Just now, I was also discussing this matter with Senior Shan Xiao."

"But Seiichi"

Minato's face at this time was also solemn, extremely embarrassed.

"This information was also brought back by the Anbu ninjas who risked their lives. It is impossible for me to make a judgment based on my own impression."

Of course he knew that such a smooth statement would definitely not be able to impress this stubborn young man.
In Minato's eyes.

Value friendship and care about companions. This is by no means a shortcoming.

Rather, this is even the reason why Minato is willing to "let go" Uchiha Makoto's misbehavior, so that he turns a blind eye to international problems.

The world of ninjas is cruel and chaotic.

Often it is not love and peace that unites people, but hatred.

Therefore, as long as Uchiha Seiichi's motivation for behavior is to value his companions and care about the village.
Then Minato would choose to forgive him, or be willing to give him time.

There is no perfect person in the world, and it is impossible for a person to be perfect in everything he does in his life.

Even though there are many inappropriate behaviors, this inappropriateness is also a proof of 'new life'.

This kind of 'change' that does not stick to the old game is the hope of the possibility of existence in the ninja world.

If so, the newborn children will look smooth when they are born, and they will not violate the rules at all, and they will become completely 'obedient' good children.

Then it's probably time for creatures like humans to really die.

Because this piece of ninja world has been in such a tragic state of endless fighting since all the ancient times that can be remembered.

If the newly born people do not change, then this world of endless battles will prove to be truly hopeless and never-ending.

And Uchiha Seiichi is the child with possibility in Minato's eyes.

The moment when he couldn't trust Chengyi the most was when Chengyi used "revenge" as the source of all motivation.

But now he has seen it.

Uchiha Seiichi's 'revenge' is by no means smashing everything like a child.

His revenge is extremely 'proper'.

Although his sense of propriety made Minato very hesitant and hesitant several times.
But he also proved.

Uchiha Seiichi is worthy of Minato's trust, and Minato's care for him.

but.
That doesn't mean Seiichi is anything 'special'.

"Regarding this matter, since the information brought by the mountain owl is only the successor, we still don't know everything, so I will not hunt down Uchiha Shisui as a traitor."

"All of this will have to wait until Anbu, who is still in a coma, wakes up before we can have further confirmation."

Minato's assertion is extremely ambiguous, but also extremely official.

If that Anbu still insists that Uchiha Shisui's defection is a fact after he wakes up, then Minato will not avoid Shisui or Seiichi because of his specialness.

"Wait until that Anbu wakes up before discussing? What about Zhishui?"

"Could it be that we have to wait until it is confirmed that Zhishui is not a traitor before we start the rescue?"

"And until then, what are we going to find?"

"A corpse!"

"When the time comes, will his name be engraved on the monument? It's over?!"

Seiichi's emotions were agitated, as if he had once again seen the most disgusting scene in his heart.

He has tasted 'lost' enough to remember.

The loss in the past cannot be repaid, and he is willing to take it as the punishment of the madness back then.

but!

Seiichi Uchiha refused to keep losing.

Minato shook his head to reassure him: "No, it doesn't matter whether what Shan Xiao said is true Uchiha Shisui or defected, or some unexpected situation occurred that led to a misjudgment."

"For companions whose whereabouts are unknown, Konoha will not sit idly by."

But after such beautiful words came out, Minato felt even more difficult.

He sighed deeply:

"It's just that the task performed by Zhishui's team is a difficult task to go deep into the enemy's rear on the battlefield."

"Even if Konoha wants to send a search and rescue team, it's not realistic."

Only after actually sitting in the position of Hokage, will you fully understand that many things can not be carried out just by having good intentions.

Konoha needs to recuperate, no matter the major ninjas or ordinary ninjas in the village, the war weariness has reached its peak at this time.

It is impossible for Minato to mobilize again for a Uchiha Shisui, and strive to completely eliminate Kirigakure's invasion of the coast.

And as long as the harassing troops of Kirigakure still exist on the eastern coast, the large-scale dispatch of search and rescue teams may send their companions into the mouth of the ambush of Wuyin.

In terms of hostage tactics, Kirigakure is quite good at it.

After all, compared with the "will of fire" shouted by Konoha Village in the country of fire, Wuyin Village implements the true "ninja" path that even Danzo recognizes.

Not to mention taking the life of an enemy as a hostage would feel despicable.
Kirigakure, who follows the policy of the Village of the Blood Mist, doesn't even care about the lives of his companions.

Even its "graduation ceremony" is to let all the children who are still students have a melee massacre in the cage, and only those who can survive the siege of the cage will be a qualified "ninja of the fog".

Such a bloody trial method can be said to be completely contrary to Konoha's emphasis on companionship and cooperation in terms of the will of the subject.

It is precisely because of this that it is extremely difficult to interact or negotiate with this country that is separated from the main road.

Even if Konoha's army crushed the land and burned Kirigakure Ninja Village to the ground, the countless broken islands around it became an excellent shelter for Kirigakure ninjas to retreat to.

It is impossible to completely wipe out Kirigakure.

Kirigakure is also sure that the mainland countries do not have the experience and supply needs of crossing the sea, so it is impossible to truly capture the country of water.
Only then will it always launch attacks against other coastal countries with a weak national power.

It is true that they are coveting the land of the Great Road, but when the other great powers are not in decline, the so-called dignified Wuyin is actually just a 'pirate' style.

As long as the mainland countries relax their vigilance, they will occupy and search the coastal villages like locusts. Even if Konoha recaptures the land later, it is impossible to send a large number of troops to station along the coast for a long time.

Because Kirigakure has never been the only one who covets the Land of Fire.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, Konoha has always been passive in the face of Kirigakure's harassment. It can also be said that Kirigakure is the party that takes the initiative to fight.

In this way, whether it is to capture or rescue Uchiha Shisui behind enemy lines, it will appear so difficult.

For Uchiha Shisui to launch a large-scale siege against Kirigakure?
I'm afraid that before other countries take this opportunity to attack the Fire Nation, the already restless family forces in the village will raise their heads and knock down the water gate whose foundation is unstable.

There's really no need for Minato to tell Cheng Yi about these things.

With his sensitivity to the country's geography and village politics, he couldn't fail to see all this.

But Seiichi clenched his fists tightly, still unwilling.

"Uchiha Shisui will never be a traitor, never"

He seemed to be stuck in a maze, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

"Even if Uchiha Seiichi will become Konoha's enemy Shimizu one day, he won't be."

"It seems you trust him more than I thought."

In the end, Minato was still not stubborn against the young man in front of him.

He sighed deeply: "Okay, I will issue you a special mission to search and rescue Uchiha Shisui, and allow you to call up members to investigate and search."

"But this time, you can't take the soil away."

Cheng Yi pursed his lips slightly: ".I understand."

It's not that Minato is afraid that these two little ghosts will stage another siege of Sayin's two people.

But among Konoha, those who clearly have the ability to restrain tailed beasts are Mu Dun and Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

To be on the safe side, it is best not to leave the village for these two young people with Kaleidoscope Sharingans until Konoha and Shuzuru really reach a friendly and cooperative relationship.

After all, no one can guarantee how secure the black tea cauldron's seal on Shukaku will be in the absence of Jinchuriki.

This is not because Minato has no confidence in whether his own strength can suppress the tailed beast.

Rather, he cannot guarantee that during the suppression process, no additional losses will be caused to Konoha.

What's more, this hot potato was brought back to Konoha by Makoto Uchiha himself.

To be honest, Minato didn't let him deal with this big trouble with Shouheguan, which was a great kindness.

Now willing to let him go out of the village to search and rescue in a legitimate way can be said to be the biggest understanding and concession of Minato.

After a while, Seiichi's mood finally calmed down.

He bowed slightly towards the water gate, and said sincerely:

"Thank you Minato-sama for your understanding, I will finish this matter as soon as possible."

Minato shook his head: "Safety comes first. You should understand that such an aimless search and rescue has little chance of success."

"The Shisui team's mission behind enemy lines is close to the area around the country of Waves, and it is still in an intensive fighting area. Proceed carefully, and don't let Konoha suffer further casualties."

"Yes."

This time Seiichi didn't act rebellious, he was quite sincere in both his gestures and words.

Such a large-scale search and rescue mission cannot be accomplished by himself, even if Seiichi has the blessings of both the Immortal Mode and the Flying Thunder God Technique.

And if there is no Minato's mission permission, even if Seiichi can call other companions who are willing to help him, this is an action no less than a coup d'état.

In wartime, even leaving the village without permission may be regarded as a defection.

It is even more absurd that large-scale collectives have left the village for no reason.

Uchiha Seiichi had left the village without authorization many times before, to some extent, it was also the reason why the newly appointed Fourth Hokage used the name of special mission to bring him over.

Finally, Minato turned his gaze and nodded slightly at Kakashi.

In silence, Kakashi also bowed slightly.

Both apology and thanks.

Minato didn't blame his students for disclosing information to Seiichi without authorization, but instead dispatched his most trusted students and most capable helpers to him.

For Seiichi and Obito, Minato may emphasize the words "propriety" and "rules" back and forth, because they are not very disciplined.

And Kakashi Minato may be quite willing to encourage him to break the 'rules' at some point.

Especially when it comes to 'companions'.

Different students need different educational methods.

Kakashi is indeed too rigid.

Similarly, Minato actually hopes that Kakashi, who is more disciplined, can hold Seiichi, a runaway horse, a little bit.

The last time Obito and Seiichi were paired up
The results are more indescribable.

Hope this time, there will be better results.
