Disregarding the Mission to ensure the safety of his comrades which he was ultimately shunned for. Do you consider it to be a noble act in the ninja world or a disgraceful one?
well it deffinatly depends on the mission like if the mission was to save the villiage for example and he chose to save his friends instead then shame on him but if it was like a mission to help a bridge guy build a bridge then good for him for saving his teamates
