"Because I'm too young. I'm just a ten-year-old kid," Xin said innocently, spreading his hands. "The Hokage assigned me to be a Jonin instructor, leading three students who are practically my age. I've already got a lot of pressure on me. Lately, I've been having trouble sleeping, worried that I might mess up their training and ruin their futures."
"As for negotiating with Hanzo to stop his attack on the Land of Iron, I'm not capable of persuading him. After what happened the last time, when we bombarded the Hidden Rain Village, Hanzo hates me. If I show up, it'll probably make things worse."
"It could even lead to a bigger problem."
"The village has been protecting me, keeping me here to prevent the Hidden Sand Village from sending assassins after me. How can I take such a risk by going to meet with Hanzo?"
That's the reasoning you gave me and Tsunade to convince us to stay. Now, I'm just giving it back to you.
There had been plenty of cases where people refused missions, but this was the first time someone had used the very excuse the higher-ups had given them as a reason to refuse. The Third Hokage was completely dumbfounded.
He never imagined that the reasoning he used to dismiss Xin would now be turned against him.
"So, this important task should be given to someone else. I think the Hokage's advisors or the two elders would be perfect for the job. With their esteemed status, they're the perfect counterparts to someone like Hanzo, the leader of the Hidden Rain Village. Their negotiation would undoubtedly be more effective."
Danzo: "....."
Koharu Utatane: "..."
Mito Homura: "..."
They were all stunned.
The Third Hokage opened his mouth, but the words he'd normally use to persuade others got stuck in his throat.
He couldn't say anything!
This awkward feeling was unbearable.
"Hokage-sama, elders, if you'll excuse me, my team is waiting for me to return so I can guide them on their mission. I can't stay too long."
With that, Xin turned and walked out, moving quickly so they wouldn't have the chance to try and convince him otherwise.
Whoever wants to go can go, but Xin Usagi won't!
When it comes to stirring up trouble, you're all eager, but when things get difficult, you sit back and wait for someone else to deal with it.
That's not how it works!
You're the leaders of the village, enjoying the privileges and respect that come with your positions. So when problems arise, it's your job to step up and solve them.
Otherwise, what's the point of having you in charge?
