To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

Matt Dai glanced at the person who came with tearful eyes. The next moment, he stood up straight with surprise in his eyes.

"Minister Chong... Minister Chonghua, you are here too."

Might Guy wiped away his tears, looked at Uchiha Shigeka curiously, and whispered to his father: "Dad, is this the Master Shigeka you always told me about?"

Matt Dai nodded, "That's right, Kai, say hello to Minister Chonghua."

"Well, in a youthful way?"

Might Dai glanced at Uchiha Shigeka, who was smiling kindly, and swallowed with a rolling throat.

"But... let's forget it."

Upon hearing this, Might Guy looked at his father with dissatisfaction: "Dad, youth does not allow retreat, I want to greet you in a youthful way!"

Matt Dai looked at his child in astonishment...Isn't this what you asked?

Might Guy raised his thumbs up, with a resolute expression, and said loudly: "My name is Might Guy, and I am a man stronger than anyone else! Thank you for your guidance, Master Chonghua! Please support my youth!"

Hatake Sakumo and his group, who had followed along at some point, saw Might Guy's unique self-introduction.

"Huh? Stronger than anyone else? I can't pretend I haven't heard that!"

Uchiha Obito jumped out and winked at Might Guy: "By the way, you... uh, why are your eyebrows so thick?"

"Ah? My eyebrows?" Might Guy said shyly, "How are they? Very manly, aren't they?"

"..."

Uchiha Obito's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly: "You guy, are you missing a bone?"

"Obito, these words coming out of your mouth are not very convincing."

Hatake Kakashi complained, looked at Might Guy, and said: "This guy looks so weak, he actually said he is stronger than anyone else..."

"Kakashi, don't underestimate others." Hatake Sakumo's face was solemn as he looked at the bandages wrapped around Might Guy's body. The muscles under the tights... were strong and powerful.

He is a hard-working and diligent child, and his training is far better than Kakashi's.

"This child may become your rival."

When Kakashi Hatake heard his father's words, he looked at the dazed Might Guy in surprise.

"Just him?!"

Hatake Sakumo nodded seriously: "It's him."

——Not only that, the man named Mighty Dai is not simple either.

Hatake Sakumo looked deeply at Might Dai who was talking to Uchiha Shigeka.

......

Chapter 208: Senior Shuomao, please be careful

"Sakumo-senpai, if you had to choose between completing the mission and rescuing your companions, which would you choose?"

Uchiha Shigeka put a piece of barbecue into his mouth, looked at Hatake Sakumo, and said: "Rescuing our companions means giving up the mission. If we continue the mission, our companions' lives will be in danger... Senior Sakumo, I want to hear your opinion on this situation."

Before Hatake Sakumo answered, Uchiha Obito spoke first, saying without hesitation: "Of course, to rescue our companions. Is there any need to ask?"

Uchiha Obito looked at the others and said, "You think so too, right?"

Might Guy ate the barbecue with big mouthfuls, gave a thumbs-up, and muttered with his mouth puffed, "Ah, of course, companions are more important than missions!"

Hatake Kakashi disagreed. He frowned and said slowly, "A ninja's job is to complete the mission. If the mission fails because of rescuing a companion...it can only be said that the companion is a burden and is not suitable to be a ninja at all."

"Ah?" Uchiha Obito looked at Hatake Kakashi in surprise, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

"You.....you really think so? He's a companion."

Hatake Kakashi said as a matter of course: "I say this because he is my companion. I hope that he can clearly understand that he is a burden."

"Teacher Chonghua, I choose to eliminate those companions who are a burden and cannot complete the mission before the mission begins."

Kakashi Hatake's idea of ​​safety is different from that of Uchiha Obito. He has no intention of running to rescue his companions during the mission.

Why not go to all that trouble to eliminate those useless companions before the mission begins?

In a sense, this is Kakashi Hatake's way of rescuing his companions.

"Hey! Kakashi, this is too contemptuous! How do you know that these companions will not play a role at the critical moment?"

Hatake Kakashi calmly retorted, "I think there are more times when you are unable to play a role and are a hindrance."

"you......"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Uchiha Shigeka reluctantly separated the two who were getting closer and closer.

"Why are we quarreling again?"

Uchiha Shigeka was speechless and knocked the two men on the head.

Seeing the two of them holding their heads in pain, Uchiha Shigeka said, "You are just students who have just entered the ninja school. Your concepts about missions and companions are still immature. Some things are not as simple as you think."

"Obito, if you give up the mission to rescue your companions, and cause huge losses to the village afterwards, many people will condemn you and blame you, and even the companions you rescued will blame you for saving them."

Uchiha Shigeka looked at Uchiha Obito calmly and said, "What should you do in this situation?"

"...Brother Zhonghua, this situation is impossible." Uchiha Obito said in confusion: "Although the mission failed, we saved our companions. Can the loss of benefits be more valuable than the lives of our companions?"

"Also, why would the companion I rescued blame me? I saved him."

"What if the loss of benefits also includes other companions?" Looking at Uchiha Obito's stunned expression, Uchiha Shigeka said: "You saved a companion, but it led to the failure of the mission and caused the sacrifice of more people."

"Saving one person means sacrificing many more, Obito, if this is the case, will you still give up the mission to rescue your companions?"

"This...I..."

Uchiha Obito was speechless.

"In fact, I support Kakashi's idea more."

Upon hearing this, Hatake Kakashi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Uchiha Obito who was a little absent-minded.

Uchiha Shigeka looked at the thoughtful Hatake Sakumo and said, "If it is a confidential mission closely related to major interests, it is better to have reliable, reassuring and trustworthy companions."

"Sakumo-senpai, do you think what I said is right?"

Uchiha Shigeka's eyes were full of meaning: "On the one hand, it can ensure that the mission is completed, and on the other hand, it can also ensure that people will not be caught in the dilemma of whether to abandon the mission and rescue their companions."

Hatake Sakumo looked at Uchiha Shigeka, feeling that he had some hidden meaning by bringing up this topic.

In order for the children to pass the entrance test smoothly and enter the ninja school as they wished, Uchiha Shigeka proposed to treat everyone to a barbecue.

They brought Might Dai and his son to the barbecue restaurant. After the barbecue was served, Uchiha Shigeka changed the previously light-hearted conversation to a heavier and more difficult topic after only a few bites.

In response to Uchiha Shigeka's topic, Hatake Sakumo laughed and picked up a piece of barbecue and put it into Uchiha Shigeka's bowl.

"Zhonghua, what you said is an ideal situation. Many times, the choice of teammates depends entirely on the arrangements of the Hokage."

Hatake Sakumo smiled and said, "The allocation of tasks and personnel deployment is the power of the Hokage-sama."

"But given Sakumo-senpai's status, if you put forward your own ideas for personnel arrangements, Hokage-sama will listen and consider them."

Uchiha Shigeka touched the silver hair of Hatake Kakashi.

"Senior Sakumo, I don't want you to encounter the extreme situation I told Obito about." Uchiha Shigeka pursed his lips and said earnestly: "Please be careful."

Hatake Sakumo's eyes flickered when he heard this.

——There’s something wrong with what Chonghua said.

Hatake Sakumo asked tentatively: "Chonghua, do you know something?"

"It's not that I know. This is just an irresponsible guess."

What does Uchiha Shigeka know? If he turns on the plot cheat, does it count if he knows what happened to Hatake Sakumo?

The plot has undergone many changes under his influence. It remains to be seen whether Hatake Sakumo will end up being condemned by thousands of people and committing suicide at home like in the original work.

But the unknown does not mean there is no possibility. Uchiha Shigeka has a good relationship with Hatake Sakumo, and he does not want the tragic ending of the original work to happen again.

Uchiha Shigeka's ambiguous attitude aroused Hatake Sakumo's vigilance, and he took the other party's reminder to heart.

......

Hatake Sakumo's vacation is over and he has returned to the front line.

While Uchiha Shigeka was handling official business, he was always paying attention to the situation of Hatake Sakumo.

Hatake Sakumo committed suicide half a year after Hatake Kakashi entered the Ninja Academy - which is about this time.

He has changed the fate of many people, but Uchiha Shigeka inevitably feels curious in his heart - under his influence, will Hatake Sakumo's ending change?

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, Kakashi Hatake had been promoted to the second grade.

There was no change in Hatake Sakumo.

......

Chapter 209: Something Happened to Hatake Sakumo

Of course, no change is a good change.

"Sakumo-senpai and Jiraiya-senpai have together held back the Third Kazekage and the One-Tail Jinchuriki. The Konoha troops took this opportunity to bypass the Sunagakure and break into the enemy camp..."

Uchiha Shigeka listened to Uchiha Mikoto's report and put down the case file in his hand.

The war on the front line was going smoothly, and Konoha was defeating the Sand Village.

Judging from the current war situation, Sand Village won't be able to hold on for a few more years.

Compared to Sand Village, the situation in Iwagakure is much better.

There were constant clashes between Konoha and Iwagakure, with some winning and some losing, but there was no decisive battle. Both sides' manpower was well preserved, and they were unable to overwhelm the other for the time being, so the situation was deadlocked.

However, this situation will be reversed once the Sand Village is defeated.

Uchiha Shigeka murmured, "It seems that the Second Ninja World War is about to end."

Now a year has passed, Hatake Kakashi has been promoted to the second grade, and Hatake Sakumo has not given up the mission to rescue his companions...

So, he finally succeeded in changing Hatake Sakumo's fate.

Uchiha Shigeka leaned back in the soft chair, let out a long breath, and a comfortable smile appeared on his lips.

"Mikoto, please give these case files to Master for review."

There is no need to worry about Hatake Sakumo, and Uchiha Shigeka has returned to work.

He handed the case file to Uchiha Mikoto.

Uchiha Mikoto took it and said helplessly: "Shigeka, the Hokage has said many times that all matters related to Konoha's judicial judgment are entirely in your hands. The Hokage does not need to review it. He trusts you."

Uchiha Shigeka smiled and said, "Master told you to say that, right?"

Uchiha Mikoto nodded.

Every time she went to deliver the files, the Hokage would ask her to ask Chonghua not to send any more case files over.

The cause of the chaos is as mentioned above.

Since he had said that he would give full authority to Uchiha Shigeka to handle the case, Sarutobi Hiruzen would keep his promise and would never ask about his handling process, methods and results.

Sarutobi Hiruzen really trusts Uchiha Shigeka.

But Uchiha Shigeka cannot really rely on Sarutobi Hiruzen's trust to cut off government affairs communication.

"Misaki, these case files are sometimes not just for Master to see."

Uchiha Shigeka looked out the window meaningfully. The first thing that caught his eye was Konoha's iconic building, Hokage Rock, and below it was the Hokage Building.

Uchiha Shigeka turned around and smiled at Uchiha Mikoto, "Besides, Master, are you really not curious about my law enforcement experience?"

Uchiha Shigeka shook his head. Instead of letting curiosity turn into suspicion, it would be better for him to dispel his doubts from the beginning and report all the law enforcement processes.

Let Sarutobi Hiruzen and his advisory group... and maybe even Shimura Danzo who's hiding somewhere, take a look.

Uchiha Mikoto seemed to be thinking about something, and she seemed to understand the necessity of submitting the case file to the Hokage.

Uchiha Mikoto said with some shame: "I'm sorry, Shigeka, I didn't think it through."

Uchiha Shigeka came to Uchiha Mikoto, patted her head, and stroked her silky hair.

After a few years, Uchiha Shigeka's height has grown by leaps and bounds. Although his appearance is still a little immature, he is maturing rapidly.

He is no longer a teenager, but a young man full of vigor and vitality.
