"Guy …" Kakashi, who woke up, wanted to open the quilt and sit up.
"Don't move, your arm is badly injured." Guy said.
Kakashi looked down and saw that his broken arm was in a cast and hanging from his neck. In case of an accident, there must be medical ninjas among the people accompanying him.
Kakashi lay down again, staring blankly at the ceiling with his single eye.
Kai sat cross-legged on the tatami and said, "Kakashi, I know what you're thinking, but it's too late to regret some things. We can only cherish what we have now and try our best to save what 'can' be saved …"
Kakashi turned his dim eyes and said, "Are you trying to remind me that the current Obito can't be saved?"
Guy shook his head and said, "No, he could have killed us, but he let us go. Thinking about it carefully, Konoha's ninjas who have fought with him, so far, it seems that no one has really died (except for Gen). I think he still cares about Konoha and you. If that's the case, it's not impossible to save him."
Hearing this, Kakashi's dim eyes became brighter.
"But …" Guy's voice paused and suddenly said, "Kakashi, are you sure he is Obito? After all, only half of his face was exposed. If you didn't call out his name, I'm afraid I wouldn't even think about it … "
Kakashi was startled and said, "Guy, you have always been unable to remember other people's faces. I'm afraid that even if he showed his whole face to you, you still wouldn't recognize him …"
At this time, Kurenai came to the door and was about to push it in.
"That's not what I'm talking about. If Uchiha Takeshi is Obito, then his strength doesn't match at all. When Obito died, he was just a Chunin. In just one year, how could he grow to the level of one of the five Kages? This is too incredible!"
But when Guy's voice sounded from inside the door, Kurenai's outstretched hand paused and then slowly retracted it back to her chest.
Kakashi said, "Maybe what you said makes sense. In fact, when we formed a team in the past, deep in my heart, I always underestimated Obito's strength. Later, even if he opened the Sharingan, I didn't think it could make up for the gap between us."
"Until … In order to save me, he pushed me away, and the moment he was pressed under the boulder, my arrogant perception changed, and I recognized from the bottom of my heart that he was a ninja with the same potential as me …"
"Now that I think about it, I was still too shallow. From the beginning to the end, I didn't see through that guy's true potential. It wasn't until half of his face under the mask appeared in front of me that I woke up from my dream …"
Guy had mixed feelings. "Kakashi …"
Kakashi looked at the ceiling. "I think the biggest reason why he doesn't want to recognize me is that I didn't protect Rin well. Secondly, I'm too weak. I can't even take off his mask and talk to him as an equal. If Minato-sensei was here, the result would be different …"
"So, I must become stronger. One day, I will take off his whole mask so that he can no longer hide his true face. I will make him recognize that I, Hatake Kakashi, am qualified to talk to him, and then try to talk to him and get him back …"
At this point in the hall, Guy showed a gratified smile: "Kakashi, it's great that you can think from this point of view. I thought this matter would be a big blow to you and make you unable to recover again. It seems that I worried too much!"
Kakashi turned his head and asked, "By the way, Guy, you didn't tell anyone about what happened tonight, right?"
Guy said, "No, I think with your character, you would want to keep it a secret."
Kakashi said, "Well, Uchiha Takeshi is most likely Obito. Don't tell anyone about this matter, including Minato-sensei …"
Guy nodded. "Understood."
"Kurenai, why are you standing here? Why don't you go in?" At this time, Asuma's voice suddenly came from the corridor, followed by Konoha's members.
Inside the room, Kakashi and Guy were both startled.
"Ah, I just got here and was about to go in …" Kurenai said hurriedly.
"You came to see Kakashi, let's go in together." Asuma patted Kurenai's shoulder.
Everyone entered the room and asked Kakashi how he got injured.
Of course, Kakashi kept his mouth shut about the mission because it couldn't explain why Uchiha Takeshi let him go.
He only said that the snow was slippery, and he accidentally fell.
"It seems that even the genius Kakashi has a setback. Have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, there will be a lively event in the Dark Village …" Asuma said.
"Event?"
"Queen Nadeshiko has sent a letter of challenge to Uchiha Uchiha. Tomorrow, no, it should be at noon today. There will be a lot of people watching the duel at the school field behind the Dark Village."
"Is that so …" Kakashi lowered his eyes and thought to himself: Now, even if I stand close to him, the distance between us is incomparably far. Why should I seek trouble for myself?
Looking up, Kakashi said, "I won't go. I will go back to Konoha with Guy at dawn."
"Ah? Why? "Everyone was stunned.
Kakashi rubbed his plaster hand and said, "If I walk on the street like this, won't I lose the face of Konoha? And I also have something to report to Minato-sensei."
"The members of the Anbu are always busy. Then you should rest early, we will go first." Everyone walked out.
"Kurenai." At this time, Kakashi stopped Kurenai.
Kurenai stopped and turned around a moment later, she looked as usual and said, "Kakashi, what's wrong?"
Kakashi stared at her and asked after a moment. "Nothing, are you in a better mood?"
"Much better." Kurenai said.
"That's good. Tomorrow, Guy and I will go back. You and Asuma are the strongest among us. Lead everyone well …"
"I will." Kurenai nodded and walked out of the room and closed the door.
Kakashi thought: I hope I am worried too much …
"Kurenai, do you want to have some supper together?" Asuma, who was waiting at the door, asked Kurenai.
"Supper?" Kurenai frowned slightly.
Asuma said, "Yes, you seem to be in a better mood. Eat something to warm your body. It's too cold recently. I heard from Genma that there is a hot pot restaurant in the Dark Village …"
"Today, I want to go back and rest early." Kurenai interrupted Asuma's words.
Asuma didn't realize at this moment that the red line that was destined to be his fate was gradually broken because of his carelessness …
If Asuma immediately realized that something was wrong with Kurenai and then took care of her like when she grew up, there may be room for recovery. But …
Asuma looked at Kurenai's back in confusion and shook his head, "Maybe, she is too tired after a long journey."
"Asuma, don't think about sneaking away. Let's go to the Drill Ground tonight and occupy a better place so that we can see more clearly tomorrow!" Genma said while biting a wooden stick.
"That's right. This is a good opportunity to understand the strength of Uchiha Takeshi."
So, Asuma and Konoha joined together and walked in the direction of the Drill Ground.
Kurenai returned to the room alone and didn't turn on the light. She sat on the bed, hugging her knees, looking at the open window and the curtains blown by the wind …
In Kurenai's eyes, there was always coldness, but in this coldness, there was a little confusion, a little helplessness, and a little … She didn't know why …
Just like that, this rather long night passed by with their own worries.
Uchiha Takeshi, Queen of Nadeshiko Saori Fuko, an eye-catching duel is about to begin …
