He was still struggling with the question of which was more important, the mission or his companions.

There is no standard answer to this question from beginning to end.

Kakashi in this state really makes Shiraishi very worried.

"I can't cooperate with them at all. They care too much about insignificant things and are often disturbed by external information. Ninjas only need to complete their tasks."

Kakashi said this.

“Have you ever heard of the barrel principle?”

"I don't want to listen to your long talk here, and you have just become a chuunin, so you are not qualified to preach to me. If you want to preach to me, wait until you become a jounin."

"..."

This inadvertently touched Shiraishi's sore spot.

"Furthermore, if they can continue fighting, I will naturally help them, but if they cannot form a fighting force, it is natural to give up. After all, as a ninja, completing the mission is the first priority. When necessary, it is okay to give up on your companions.

No one can make irresponsible remarks about me."

Kakashi continued to speak in a very cold tone.

"Do you really think so?"

"The person who chose his companion is dead. I don't want to make the same mistake as that person."

"..."

There is reason and evidence, leaving Shiraishi unable to defend himself.

"But your colleagues are disgusted with you, right?"

"This has nothing to do with you, I'm just following the rules a ninja should abide by."

Kakashi said this.

"Yeah?"

Shiraishi knew that he could not dissuade Kakashi from thinking on the verge of collapse now.

He took out a bag from his ninja tool bag, put it in front of Kakashi and said: "These are my special military ration pills, and some antidotes. Take them and use them. Since you have chosen mission first, then you must

Protect yourself. Because once you are injured during the mission and lose the ability to fight and move, your companions will abandon you."

Kakashi was slightly startled and looked up at Shiraishi, not taking the bag on the table where the soldiers' food pills and antidote were stored.

"What? Isn't this the path you chose? It's a completely different path from Sakumo-sensei. Now is not the time to hesitate."

Shiraishi looked at Kakashi calmly and smiled slightly.

Kakashi silently put away the bag and said softly: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do. After all, I watched you grow up. Now that Teacher Sakumo is gone, I will do my best to take care of you, both emotionally and rationally. If it doesn't work, I will tell Liuli that you can enter her

The team performs the mission.”

"No, it's too much trouble for you. I will take care of myself."

Kakashi shook his head and rejected Shiraishi's proposal.

Shiraishi said nothing and ate the meatballs quietly.

"If there is nothing else, I will go practice."

Kakashi stood up from his seat and was about to reincarnate and leave when Shiraishi's voice sounded from behind:

"Kakashi, do you think Sakumo-sensei made the wrong choice at that time?"

"Ah, so I took a different path than him."

After saying that, without waiting for Shiraishi to speak again, Kakashi walked towards the outside of the meatball shop with an indifferent expression.

When he said these words, he had already denied the path taken by his father Sakumo.

A wrong path.

And what he wants to take now is the path that a ninja should take.

"It seems that the psychological problem is more serious than I thought. This unpleasant brat is completely opposite to Sakumo-sensei. Are they really father and son? When Sakumo-sensei was in Konoha Hospital,

, Isn’t it a wrong hug?”

Shiraishi watched Kakashi's figure disappear from his eyes, while eating meatballs and muttering.

Although Kakashi was not very likable before, he would never say such slanderous words with a cold face.

But it's almost time, it's time for him to question the will of fire.

In other words, after experiencing these things, his heart may have begun to waver.

The indifference on his face is just a cover-up and disguise of strength.

The reason for Kakashi's contradictory thinking is inseparable from the current Konoha environment.
