A Quick Chat About Some Reader Questions

First, what I've seen a lot of is the use of the honorific 'Kun'.

While it might seem unfamiliar to many, the honorific 'Kun' is actually fine because it's a form of respect that doesn't distinguish between genders.

The honorific 'Chan' is also the same, usable by both genders, but it's generally only used for very close people. Given the relationship between Uchiha Kei and Hyuga Aya, do you expect them to be close right now?

It's good enough that they haven't stabbed each other in the back.

Secondly, a reader commented in the review section that the protagonist is trash and too cowardly. Hmm, trash? Uchiha Kei's abilities aren't trash, are they? Although I've restricted him severely, when it comes to a mutual kill, who can compare to him?

Unless you pull out 'Izanagi', who can match him in a mutual kill? As for why he appears weak, come on, after fighting for so long, do you think he has that much Chakra?

If his teammates aren't down, would he dare to use his Mangekyo? What if it's exposed? Wouldn't that be more troublesome? As for being cowardly? He's quite cowardly now, but he's not a salaryman living day by day.

Also, why not directly summon Namikaze Minato? Well, Uchiha Kei forgot about Namikaze Minato's habit of being late.

Lastly, regarding what I saw in the chapter comments just now, about the Iwa Ninja retreating and then blowing up the bridge, the chapter title already made it clear: the mission had changed.

Originally, it was to force the Iwa Ninja to retreat, but Uchiha Kei was too cowardly and wanted to save his own life, so he used a group of captives as shields. And this group of captives, whether they wanted to or not, went to complete Uchiha Kei's mission.

If this group went berserk, even if it was difficult to fight them head-on, what would you do if your back suddenly caught fire? Wouldn't you want to escape?

Secondly, Konoha originally couldn't win, but now that the Iwa Ninja are in disarray themselves, would the Third Hokage and the others not want to expand their victory?

As for the Iwa Ninja running away and building bridges, well, my expectation was that Konoha wouldn't necessarily let them escape easily. After all, the large number of surviving Iwa Ninja could be used for negotiation.

Regarding Namikaze Minato not going himself, I think his central idea was to apply pressure from the front while Kakashi used the Flying Thunder God to raid their base, right? I'm not sure, but that's how I understand it.

That's all the explanation there is. Next time, we'll see. That's all for now.
