Chapter 32 Which one is more important? I want them all!
"Kakashi, we finally have a hot spring with few people around. Are you really not going to take a bath?"
Sunset Red Road.
Kakashi shook his head.
Take a bath?
Delaying practice!
His mind was full of rolling balls, and he didn't want to think about anything else until he mastered it.
Although we have been able to do it initially, there is still a long way to go before we can master it.
Still have to work hard!
Kakashi maintained the ball in his hand, but soon he couldn't hold it anymore and it quickly relaxed.
Learned.
But I haven’t fully learned it.
However, Kakashi has only been in contact with it for a few days, which is already a very fast learning speed.
Jingyan watched from outside.
Seeing this scene, he walked in immediately.
"Let's go together. The bathhouse is right next to each other, so we'll have someone to look after us if we get attacked."
Kakashi hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about them?"
Of course, they are referring to the two Kirigakure ninjas.
Jingyan said, "The teacher is watching, don't worry. Let's go, talk and relax, maybe it will be easier to master it."
Having said that, he didn't give Kakashi a chance to choose and went into the house on his own.
Kakashi hesitated for a moment, but finally followed suit.
Put on your clothes and take off your mask.
The two of them soaked in the hot spring attached to the hotel and felt all the fatigue of the day disappear.
but.
Kakashi glanced at it from the corner of his eye and couldn't help but think of what happened during the day.
As Jingyan and the others said, many missions are not that important, so delaying them for a while is not a problem. But if Jingyan is the same as he was in the past...
He couldn't be like Jingyan.
Which is right and wrong?
He had no answer in his heart and was very confused.
Leaning on the stone at the edge, Kakashi looked up at the starry sky and suddenly spoke.
"Kyohiko."
"Ok?"
Jingyan was lying in the hot spring, his body was quite relaxed, but his mind was always paying attention to the outside world, and his chakra seeped out with the mist to avoid being ambushed nearby.
Kakashi spoke, and he immediately regained his composure.
At this moment, Kakashi had already sat up straight. His face without the mask looked very handsome, but full of confusion.
"I do not know how to say it."
"Just chatting."
"If you had to choose between a mission and a partner, which one would you choose?"
Kakashi seemed casual, but his upright sitting posture and nervous expression showed that he was not as calm as he appeared.
This issue is a continuation of Hatake Sakumo's suicide.
Jingyan must take this seriously.
He thought about it for a long time.
He didn't quite agree with Kakashi's later life.
There was a "crashing" sound from next door.
Apparently, Xihi Kurenai was also very curious about this and came closer to listen.
Jing Yan said: "I think there is no standard answer to this question. According to the Second Hokage, there are many things in the world that have no standard answers."
"How to say?"
Kakashi was confused and even more shocked.
Could this issue also involve the Second Hokage?
According to his previous thinking, there was only one answer -
The mission is more important!
He has always done this in the past.
but.
Recently, various things have gradually made him have new cognitions, which are in sharp conflict with his past cognitions.
This is also the reason why he is restless.
Jingyan answered.
"According to the Second Hokage, everything is not black and white. We should make different choices based on different situations. For example, in a mission like today, should I abandon my teammates?"
"..."
Yes.
Kakashi thought to himself.
From his point of view, anyone who is not helpful to the mission and instead hinders it is undoubtedly a waste.
Even if this person is himself now, he should be abandoned.
"At least we shouldn't waste our energy on protection, right?"
"Our team has the ability to do both, so why give it up?"
"..."
Kakashi was stunned by the question.
He pondered, thinking back to some of the trivial conflicts that had occurred in the two years since graduation.
Yes.
why?
I stumped myself with the question right away.
Kakashi was speechless.
Next door, Kurenai Yuhi was also puzzled by Kakashi's thinking, because Jingyan's decision seemed very normal to her!
Isn't that what a ninja is supposed to do?
Kakashi was silent for a long time, then said, "So when should the mission come first?"
"If we are on a mission to save more people and we are prepared to sacrifice before we set out, then in a desperate situation where we can only choose one, I will choose to prioritize the mission."
Jingyan leaned against the stone.
Tasks have different levels of importance.
White Fang was indeed too impulsive, but the subsequent development of public opinion shows that there is nothing wrong with it...
Jingyan also didn't believe it.
Kakashi's eyes dimmed.
"So, the mission should come first?"
"???"
Jingyan tilted his head, looking confused.
Did I say that before in vain?
He was silent.
Kakashi listened for a long time, but the last sentence was not as effective as the last one.
Are you Yuan Shao too?
Impressed!
But Jingyan still couldn't comment on the matter of "White Fang's suicide".
Because the higher-ups said that White Fang died on a mission, not by suicide, the jonins were naturally capable of knowing the truth, but Kyōhiko shouldn't have known it.
He could only remain silent.
"Kakashi, you can't be so stubborn!"
There came Yuhi Kurenai's shout from next door.
Kakashi recovered and after a moment of trance, he remembered what Jingyan had said before -
This matter is not absolute and we cannot go to extremes.
He was silent for a long time, then said, "Let me tell you a story, would you like to listen?"
"of course."
Jingyan sat up straighter.
Kakashi said: "Once upon a time there was a samurai..."
He narrated the story of Hatake Sakumo in the early samurai stories.
Then he asked carefully, "Do you think the warrior did the right thing?"
"He may not be right, but this is something that I find very strange."
Kyohiko said in a serious tone.
Kakashi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"
"If the samurai's companion was really not afraid of death, why did he return to the village alive? If he was really ready to die, why didn't he commit suicide after learning that his companion came back for him so that the samurai would give up saving him? Maybe it was not too late to go back?"
Jingyan asked in confusion.
Kakashi was stunned.
This……
He hadn't thought about it at all!
Kakashi sat there in a daze, his brain completely confused for a moment. In the past, he only thought about whether his father was right or wrong, and never considered the situation of the person who was rescued.
Yup!
He was so righteous, why didn't he commit suicide at that time and force his father to go back?
"Especially, that person should know what kind of person a samurai is, right? Otherwise, how could he become a partner?"
"..."
Kakashi blinked, speechless for a moment.
Then, Jingyan stood up and wiped himself off.
"I don't understand the deeper issues, but I think that warrior is amazing."
"why?"
"I've read some books recently, and I'm going to share my understanding of them with you. The problem he encountered is essentially, is a warrior a tool or a person?"
Jingyan said, his tone also full of confusion, "I don't have an answer."
“Tool or person?”
Kakashi muttered.
It turns out that the problem lies here!
He woke up as if from a dream, and then fell into new confusion——
Which one is more important?
"Jingyan, this question is so profound, I haven't even thought of this."
The voice of Yuhi Kurenai came from next door.
Jingyan shook his head.
"I also read a lot of books, and there are similar problems in them."
"Then how did he do it?"
"Establishing ninja villages and schools, and stipulating that children can only participate in missions after they graduate at the age of twelve, not only ensures the efficiency of mission execution, but also protects the lives of children."
Jingyan answered.
Kakashi and Yuhi Kurenai immediately understood——
It’s the Second Hokage!
"There is another thing. In order to reduce casualties in the early years, Lady Tsunade, against all odds, implemented a system of medical ninjas accompanying the team."
"Medical ninja..."
Kakashi's vision gradually became clear.
Although Jingyan didn't say it, he vaguely understood what the other party was thinking.
Both missions and partners are important!
Ninjas are not tools, their lives should be valued.
After all, Jingyan's parents also died in the war.
