OH BOY SHIRASU.

So for a long time, Shirasu was a nonentity to him. Sousei didn't entirely cut Tenka off from his own life, in that he would still get rumors and the like, and Tenka was a large fish in a small pond; news about him came all the time. So he knew that Tenka had adopted some random Fuuma ninja. He just didn't care.

Things have changed an awful lot since.

The fact that Shirasu betrayed Tenka is awful, and Sousei hates it--betrayal is the worst, and he can be sure of that now that he has experienced it for himself. It is awful that Tenka had to taste it, and he never would have wished that on him, but that's not the worst of Shirasu's crimes as far as he's concerned. The worst thing Shirasu did was betraying Soramaru and Chuutarou, who were innocents in this entire disaster. Protecting the innocent is a Yamainu law. But he never thought that he would have to protect children from the people they considered their own family, and that infuriates. Just like everyone else in this manga, Sousei has strong feelings on Family. In his case, it is that adopted family can be as important if not more than real family.

Shirasu was given the perfect family.

And he threw it away, and Sousei will always hold that against him--but in a way, he also pities him for it. He hasn't quite gotten sophisticated enough about Shirasu's motivations to realize that they could be each other if the circumstances had been different, or something similar. But he does know that Shirasu has lost everything, and that's pitiable.

(It's also necessary to point out here that Shirasu caused Sousei's own personal failure re: protecting Soramaru, and while it's his own fault, HE'S STILL BITTER.)

And then here......he found out that Shirasu killed their parents, and he doesn't care about the circumstances--murder is murder, and it's deplorable and heinous and he's REAL MAD still. So basically, he hates Shirasu, 100%. He has no intentions of ever forgiving him, and he wants Shirasu to suffer for all that he's done.

But he won't be the person to do so. Sousei is aware enough of himself to know that he would not be fair and unbiased in that. And if what Shirasu is fighting towards is chaos, then Sousei is order and law, and in order for that to be true, he knows that he has to obey the letter of the law and make sure that Shirasu is treated fairly. So no, if he can avoid it, he won't kill him. But that hatred is there deeply, and he won't ever forget what Shirasu has done either, even if he is forced to live with his presence for now.
