"Xin, you shouldn't have acted that way. No matter what, the Hokage is still the Hokage,"
Minato said as they left, he was still angry about Shimura Shinbu's challenge and the Third Hokage's silence, but he was concerned about Xin's blatant disrespect hurting his reputation.
"He allowed, even hinted for others to question me, and I should be grateful?" Xin snapped.
"Screw that."
He cursed openly, making no effort to hide his anger, and then dragged Mikoto along without looking back.
"Wait up..." Minato sighed, hurrying after them.
He's already cursed him out. What can you do?
It is what it is at worst, he'll get a reprimand.
Still, the Hokage wasn't exactly fair here.
We risked everything to get that intel back, only to be questioned like this. Who wouldn't be pissed?
No wonder Xin lost his temper.
Could the Third Hokage hear Xin's cursing?
Of course, but the Third Hokage, now committed to his image as a benevolent leader, had no choice but to endure it.
Otherwise, he'd contradict his own public persona.
After all that, Xin wasn't even in the mood for a soak in the hot springs.
After saying goodbye to Mikoto and Minato, he headed straight home.
An hour later, just as he was finishing a meal after a bath, Xin was alerted by Ophis that someone was approaching.
He looked up, his face expressionless, toward the window.
The visitor, realizing they'd been noticed, sighed and opened the window, stepping inside.
"Kid, you were too rash. No matter what, you shouldn't have cursed out the Hokage."
Sakumo Hatake sat down directly across from Xin, his eyes drifting to the food on the table. He took a deep breath and asked, "Mind if I join you? I've been busy all day and haven't had a chance to eat."
Xin got up to fetch some extra dishes and utensils, and also took out some prepared food he had set aside for the next day. As he sat back down, he gritted his teeth and said, "I thought I was the village hero. But instead, all I got was doubt and distrust!"
Why is Sakumo Hatake here?
Is it because he likes me?
No, no, no-he's here because the Third Hokage sent him. I can tell.
So Xin didn't bother hiding his dissatisfaction, letting all his emotions show. I'm upset-so what? I got accused and doubted, and now I'm supposed to just take it?
"No, you are a hero of the village," Sakumo said, talking through a mouthful of food.
"Without the intel you guys brought back and the enemy's corpse, the Land of Fire would have suffered significant losses. Shimura Shinobi's doubts weren't endorsed by the Hokage. He's just a narrow-minded guy who can't stand anyone being better than him. He's always been hostile toward geniuses."
What the hell!
Shimura Shinobi must have some serious issues.
What did I ever do to you?
The entire Shimura clan must be filled with jerks.
