Seeing that Xin remained silent, Sakumo continued, "He's been like that since school. I hope this incident teaches him a lesson. Anyway..."
Xin's expression said it all: I don't believe you, and I don't care.
This left Sakumo at a loss. He was here on the Third Hokage's orders, hoping to smooth things over with Xin, but it wasn't working.
"No matter what, you shouldn't curse out the Hokage, got it?"
"Curse the Hokage?"
Xin s eyes widened. "Don't make things up. I never did that!"
You didn't?
Sakumo couldn't help but laugh. Then who was that outside the Hokage's office, yelling and cursing? If the Hokage hadn't intervened, the Anbu would've been all over you.
And you say you didn't curse?
You think just because you didn't say his name, it doesn't count?
"Anyway, I didn't curse," Xin insisted. Believe it or don't. I said I didn't, so that's that.
And if you take it personally, then you're just admitting you're a hypocrite!
"Sure, sure, you didn't curse," Sakumo said, finally giving up. He wasn't one to usually tolerate such behavior, but Xin... Xin was different.
Remembering the fate of Shimura Hideitsu, Sakumo decided it was best not to provoke this kid. Who knew what kind of Genjutsu Xin might unleash, leaving him dancing awkwardly and suffering mental trauma?
Sakumo wasn't even sure he could resist Xin's Genjutsu. If it was purely Sharingan-based, he could avoid eye contact, but if it wasn't... that could be a real problem. Until they figured out the weaknesses of this "Sakura Fall" Genjutsu, it was best to tread lightly.
From the way Xin had unleashed his Genjutsu on Shimura Hideitsu without hesitation, Sakumo believed he'd do the same to him.
It's best not to mess with this loose cannon.
"Kid, you've done something impressive this time." Sakumo set down his bowl, satisfied, and leaned back in his chair. "Your teammates contributed, sure, but the major credit goes to you. The Hokage wanted me to tell you that the village won't forget your contributions."
"When the time is right, your achievements will be formally recognized, allowing you to trade them for things like jutsu scrolls."
With that, Sakumo stood and headed for the window.
"Oh, and the main forces are heading out tomorrow. Do you want to go to the battlefield and earn some more merits?"
"No thanks. I don't want to come back from killing enemies just to be accused of lying again,"
Xin scoffed. "Please use the door."
"Uh... right, sorry, my bad." Sakumo's face flushed with embarrassment.
He hadn't even realized he was about to climb out the window again-getting caught doing that earlier was embarrassing enough. If he did it again now, he'd lose all his dignity.
