Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

"I think it'll only be a day or two, wait..."

"Uchiha Madara, he's made his move."

"Nohara Rin has been released by White Zetsu, and she's about seven kilometers to the left."

"Nohara Rin, you're awake."

"She was running towards us, and about three minutes later she encountered Kakashi."

"Sure enough, I guessed it right."

"Brother Minato, I'll be going now!"

Chapter 173 In despair, Uchiha Jin makes his move!

In the dense forest.

Kakashi was bored, his eyes filled with confusion.

Yes.

He said he was out collecting firewood, but that was just an excuse.

Actually, he was incredibly bored!

He didn't even know what else he could do besides saving Nohara Rin.

From small to large.

He felt like he was a tragedy!

My father committed suicide when I was very young.

From then on, he fell into confusion, and even harbored a faint resentment towards his father, Hatake Sakumo.

Yes.

Which is more important, your damned companions or the mission?

Kakashi actually knew the answer in his heart: his comrades were more important.

only.

Driven by a sense of revenge, he had always adhered to the principle of the importance of his mission since graduating at the age of five. To put it bluntly, he also wanted to get revenge and show his father what he was capable of.

Didn't you choose suicide directly because of the death of your companion?

So, therefore.

I'll do as you say; the task is the priority.

Until he encountered Obito and Rin again, two classmates he had disliked back in school.

The two people's kindness warmed his heart.

This quietly opened a crack in his previously frozen heart.

and then.

He then encountered Uchiha Jin, the least Uchiha-like guy.

Yes, until that day.

Only then did he truly understand why his father had chosen to commit suicide.

That was for the village!

Yes.

Before Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, a young Kakashi asked him a question.

why?

Why not explain?

At that time, Hatake Sakumo simply shook his head slightly.

Say, "No!"

Everything he did was for the village.

And at the time, they promised to protect him absolutely!

At the time, Kakashi didn't understand!

But it was through Uchiha Jin's words that I finally understood the true meaning of my father's words.

Yes.

I have indeed made arrangements for myself.

Even his father's suicide had no effect on him.

in contrast.

He even went directly into the Hokage lineage and became a disciple of Minato Namikaze, the future Fourth Hokage according to Uchiha Jin.

It must be said that Minato was a good teacher.

Kakashi also had great respect for this teacher.

But, same thing.

Through Uchiha Jin's words, he understood even more the value of Minato's disciples.

That is, to compete for the ticket to become Hokage!

With so many people in Konoha, why is it that when others have mental problems, their final fates are all so tragic?

Why would someone with mental health issues become a disciple of Minato Namikaze?

He used to think that everything was fate.

But I only understand now.

It was all because of his father, the father he had felt resentful about for the past few years.

He had even paved the way for himself to become Hokage.

If he follows the steps, he can become Hokage!

have to say.

My father is amazing!

It turns out that he was the real second-generation rich kid, and his feeling of being alone was just his illusion.

His father, Hatake Sakushige, left him a vast fortune.

only.

He looked down on all of this.

He prefers his family to live a peaceful and stable life together.

But, no matter what.

After hearing what Uchiha Jin said, he felt somewhat relieved and even decided to get out of his mental shadow and live his life properly.

But, unexpectedly.

Before he could even emerge from the shadow of his past, fate played another cruel joke on him.

Obito died, and Rin Nohara was captured.

His two best friends both met with misfortune one after the other.

Honestly.

It's good that he's not crazy now.

Just now.

Kakashi suddenly sensed that someone was getting closer and closer to him.

Without hesitation, he drew his katana.

Just as he was ready to attack, he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was none other than his comrade-in-arms, Nohara Rin.

"Rin?!" Kakashi was stunned.

But, the next second.

After Rin Nohara rushed over, she shouted directly at Kakashi.

"Kakashi, kill me!"

"The Three-Tails is sealed inside me. They want me to return to Konoha and release the tailed beast so that they can destroy the village."

"I've been cursed, and I can't commit suicide now."

"Kill me for the sake of the village!"
