Do not complain.

While my companions looked at me in an animated way, I only worried about enjoying my delicious meat.

"ah-*bite*-*chew*-*swallow*-"

After eating I wiped the remaining grease from my mouth and lips with satisfaction.

'Meat is always delicious, especially when people drool over it...'

Just then we heard a voice.

"Hello guys, I see you have come early"

"Aren't you late?" She replied with blank eyes.

"Oh, is it really late? Well, excuse me then, the dinner my wife made was delicious, I didn't realize the passing of time" Master Izawa spoke simply with an apologetic smile.

He hadn't commented on it but Master Izawa is some kind of distant relative of Kakashi with the difference that he has a wife (or so he says).

'Even so, it's hard to believe that this type of dark aura has a partner.'

"Well, is this how it is?" I don't bother talking nonsense and he brought up the subject that had me very thoughtful.

"How come, the mission?" The teacher asks confused.

"Don't be ignorant! You sent us to die on the last mission!" I expose the subject with a certain anger on my face (when I say that I felt the edge of death close I was not exaggerating, who likes to be teetering on the brink of death?...oh right, forget certain masochists).

"Ah, that, sorry, I almost forgot" The teacher shows an awkward smile.

The facial muscles on my face twitched slightly at this guy's frivolity.

'Does he want to see us with his face? (Well, Yuu himself acts that way when he doesn't want to bring up a subject, you can't lie to a liar as the saying goes)'

Then the teacher takes a serious face after saying that last thing.

"Well, cutting the bullshit, on the subject of that quest it wasn't intended that way, you see, originally you had a C rating on the quest, at most it would give you one more problem than normal C rank quests."

"Wait a minute, why the hell would you send us on a mission like that, we weren't genins?" he shot back.

"Well, you're right about that, but the reason why I sent you there was because I trusted you from the beginning, with your abilities I assessed that you wouldn't have too many problems for that mission"

"But still that's too much" He replied again.

"I agree with him, at least he would have accompanied us"

I fly a bit surprised towards Rai.

'This type...'

I think this would be the first time I've heard Rai speak in a way that's consistent with me, all those times I've talked to him, he always turned against me or something similar, that today he has left his pride aside is something incredible even for me, I must suppose that the outcome of that mission also affected him deeply.

"I also agree with them, if they were other people in our place I doubt they would have survived" Sayuki also breaks the silence.

"...mm, certainly other people wouldn't have survived but well, they're not alive after all, right? That shows their outstanding abilities, I must be honest, even I'm surprised."

My facial muscles twitch at how cheeky this teacher is behaving, this way of treating our survival as something worth celebrating since he has ignored the factors why we almost lost our lives is pissing me off.

Before I reply, someone beats me to it.

"-That does not justify your actions, if you read the report correctly then to understand that our chances of surviving were doomed... we survived by chance, it is quite irresponsible and frivolous from my point of view"

(PS: Frivolous is something like a person who takes things seriously lightly)

Rai and I turned our heads towards Sayuki in surprise.

Normally when someone is much older and more experienced than you makes a mistake, the first thing is to maintain a certain 'respect' for that person and insinuate their mistakes in an indirect way so that it is not noticed that we are replicating them but today Sayuki did not hold back. you win and exposed directly to the teacher.

Izawa apparently was also a bit surprised that for a few moments he didn't know what to say.

The scene remained silent for a few moments.

The teacher remained seated on the branch of the pensive tree.

The teacher didn't take long to speak, he didn't rebuke Sayuki directly.

"Guys, do you know the reason why deaths in the war field occur?"

The word 'War' immediately caught the attention of the three.

The three of us remain thoughtful but the teacher does not wait for us to respond.

"The causes are many but the most fatal are the lack of information, performance, low morale and the worst of all is the mismanagement that gives rise to all of the above and many more, Konoha generally has experienced people in the field. management issue, be it missions or other things but even so they cannot see the future, their information is usually limited in most cases, only leaving their experience"

At the moment he entered into understanding of what he is trying to tell us.

"Tell me, what would happen if one day they find themselves involved in a mission that had bad information, do they complain like little children?"

The three of us were silent.

"I remind you that most ninjas do not reach old age, they die before their time due to unjust causes, the ninja profession is not child's play, it is a place where you will be with the touch of death on your head, unlike what What do you think the three of you have been lucky to come back, in other groups you are not so lucky"

In fact, in the original work very little was said about the amount of mortality that exists, it may not seem like much in a short period of time but if you look closely you will realize that the ninjas who reach old age are very few.

"You guys make me a little envious, even I have to admit that in your situation even I would have doubted getting out alive, that's a good thing, it means that you will be excellent ninjas in the future, take this occasion as a precious experience, thank you It will allow you to have experience for future missions"
