TOME 10 PART 74; THAT CONCEPT CALLED 'APOSTASY'
DAGARA PROVERB...
You cannot be an 'Apostate' without first being an 'Apostle'. There is nothing to be 'Heretical about' or 'Apostasize about' if you were 'never a member of a Particular Legion'. You cannot 'Fire' someone you never 'Hired'...only Fools attempt to do that. To be a 'Heretic or Apostate' you must first 'renounce something you once believed was right' and 'return to the 'Place you knew was wrong''. (It is not for nothing that Naruto keeps repeating the Words 'I never go back on my Word...that's my Ninja way' and 'Believe it').
The Lion Turtle Monkeys...once you 'Apostasize' then put a 'Strike through your Headband' like the 'sort of Headband worn by Mukenin (Exiled Ninja from Konoha); the sort of thing 'Sasuke Uchiha's Headband' becomes. They are now literally calling you 'a Shepherd without Eyes' whose 'right hand has withered'...the reason the Gods hate it when someone brings a 'Blind or Lame Animal to the Temple' as an Offering; fortunately Sasuke's eyesight actually got better around the time the Sasuke Rebellion Arc began. Do you see the sort of Piledriver Sasuke gives Naruto around the time he gets his 'Second' or was it the 'Third Tomoe' in his Sharingan. Suddenly the 'Le' in your Title becomes an 'Ate'...there and then...you become an Apostate...because the Lion Turtle Monkeys see you have created an 'Independent State' that runs 'Contrary to their own House'.
From then on everyone calls you 'The Dog who went back to lick its Own Vomit'...that is the literal meaning of an Apostate. It is one thing for someone to throw something precious to you in the Rubbish Heap...but the moment you throw your own Treasure in the Rubbish Heap...then go back searching the Rubbish Heap to find if it is still there...that is Apostasy.
When you 'Market your Treasure' before someone the 'Lion Turtle Monkeys' have decided is an 'Apostate'...that is what they call 'casting your Pearls before Swine'. In the First Place...that only makes the Dog perfectly rabid because it recalls what it threw away...knows it can never have that back...is it any wonder it wants to give you Rabies and shorten your lifespan.
