And so,
Forty-five minutes later,
Naruto Order No. 233, Konoha Year 61, was quickly transmitted to all of Konoha. Twenty minutes later,
Kakashi appeared at the entrance of Konoha with a small bag in his arms. At this time, the sky was much lighter than before, and the wind was gentle. But looking at the unmelted snow in front of him and the falling leaves with ice shards in front of his eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine.
It still made him feel even more desolate.
"I wish you a safe journey! Kakashi -sama! "
Pacify my ass... Kakashi tried his best to suppress the roar in his heart. He didn't want to talk to anyone now,
Nor did he want to pay attention to the group of Konoha guards behind him who had nothing better to do all day. But when he thought about it, he couldn't just stand there like a telephone pole,
He could only brace himself and turn around,
As usual, he raised his head at a 45-degree angle and said reservedly,
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
"Thank you for your care — Bon voyage, Kakashi -sama!"
Pacify your asses! Kakashi looked at the juniors who bowed in unison,
He gritted his teeth and waved his hand. "Continue with your work, don't worry about me. I'm waiting for someone,
Hurry up and leave. "
"Then..."
"Is there anything else?" Kakashi narrowed his eyes and let the head guard who walked up to him clearly see the blue veins and anticipation on his fists.
However, this guy who wasn't afraid of death still pulled Kakashi to the side. "Since you're waiting for someone, stand to the side. Although you can't block the grand entrance of Konoha with your size, it's not good for you to have a sour face."
Kakashi clenched his fists,
His eyes narrowed even more,
"I'm wearing a mask, and an eyepatch covers three-quarters of my face!"
"Chakra."
Kakashi instantly deflated,
As a human,
Actions, words, expressions, and even eyes would reveal their emotions. And as a ninja, those often helped to hide the truth. It's just that the ninja still can't escape the prying desire of the same kind — the power of the body and the mind will also be affected by both the body and the mind. Of course, just like how expressions could be trained, Chakra could be trained as well. But, who asked him to …
"Control yourself." The head guard finally hugged Kakashi and brought him to the corner, emphasizing, "I also just saw the notice from the General Staff Department. You were fired without any explanation. But no matter how dissatisfied you are, you shouldn't play Chakra at the entrance for more than ten minutes, especially when you're carrying luggage. Tell me, what would the passersby think if they saw you? Heavens, a disciple of the Golden Flash is running away from home because of some unfair treatment. "
"Shut up!" Kakashi finally scolded. "Everyone knows that I'm going out for a quest!"
"But there's no such thing as a mission. What kind of place do you think the Gate of Konoha is? Come and go as you please? The time stated in the quest book should be the exact time. Staying without a reason and leaving the village without permission are both violations of discipline. You're the same! "
"I know." Kakashi listened impatiently. Chakra became even more irritable. But he really had nothing to refute, so, "By the way, Shinobi, why are you alone today? Where's your ten-thousand-year-old Chunin partner, Steel Son? Why don't I see him? "
"Don't change the topic." Shinobi sighed.
"Oh, don't tell me he skipped work." Kakashi narrowed his eyes.
"Sick leave, recently Konoha flu." Shinobi had to answer properly.
"Oh, that's really useless." Kakashi raised his eyebrows.
Shinobi frowned. "Naruto -sama took sick leave a few days ago because he caught a cold."
"…" Kakashi wanted to say that his teacher was indeed useless sometimes, but he didn't say it. Although Shinobi had known Shinobi since childhood and was also a trustworthy member of the Anbu, it seemed that they weren't close enough to joke about Naruto. So the more Kakashi looked at the arm on his shoulder, the more he disliked it. Finally, the Chakra in his body slightly exploded. After a few seconds of crackling sounds, Shinobi covered his hand and jumped up and down.
"Kakashi, you …"
"What about me."
Shinobi looked at Kakashi's cold eyes and swallowed his saliva. In fact, Hatake Kakashi would only show his obedient or mischievous side in front of the leader of the Four Generations, Naruto. As for other people, this guy had always believed that "the fist is the truth". Well, since childhood, Kakashi's friends who grew up with him could all prove it! However, Shinobi still had to force Kakashi to leave quickly, because this was not only discipline, but also a B-level mission.
"Kakashi -sama, you've always been righteous."
Kakashi snorted coldly.
"Kakashi, don't make things difficult for the big guy."
Kakashi turned his head away.
Shinobi looked at his watch and finally gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and took a deep breath. "The leader of the Four Generations has never sent anyone off, not even young master Naruto. There's no point in waiting. If there's anything, wait for you to finish your mission and come back. Can't you two have a good talk!"
"…"
Shinobi looked at Kakashi who was still indifferent and decided to risk death and say it again slowly. "Kakashi, four …"
But as soon as it started, Kakashi made a hand seal and disappeared.
"Captain Shinobi, are you okay?"
Shinobi looked at the handkerchief handed to him by his subordinate and realized that his hand was bleeding from Kakashi's Chakra. He hurriedly wrapped the wound and laughed. "Haha, I'm fine. Didn't I just get promoted to Jonin recently? I just wanted to test my skills. Haha, Kakashi is really powerful. It's fine, it's fine. Don't crowd around here. Stand guard and investigate. Our Konoha's gate is not a place where you can come and go as you please! Haha, um, I'll go wash my hands. "
After saying that, he ran to the duty room like a wisp of smoke. However, Shinobi did not really wash his hands. Instead, he took out Thor's communicator and madly pressed the number button. After pressing it, he sighed and wrapped his hand with a medical scroll. He felt a lingering fear as he wrapped his hand. Kakashi today was scarier than Kakashi when he was young. Well, the "Demon King Kakashi" that the Anbu juniors secretly gossiped about seemed to make some sense.
At the same time.
Naruto's office in Naruto's building.
"Buzz buzz buzz, buzz buzz buzz."
The buzzing sound, like a mosquito flapping its wings, made Naruto, who was buried in his work, frown.
"Buzz buzz buzz, buzz buzz buzz."
The sound was also very shrill, which made Watergate feel even more irritated. So he decisively stuck his head out and shouted into the lounge, "Genma, Genma, your communicator is ringing."
What he didn't know was that Huo Xuanmen did not immediately help Naruto solve the problem as usual, because he just happened to be holding a mountain of documents that was taller than his head. He simply had no hands to close it!
"Genma!"
"Yes, Sir." This time, Genma did not care if the documents would fall to the ground when he casually put them down. He quickly freed his hands and made a hand seal, and with a whoosh, he went up to the roof. "Kamiyue Chuyun, didn't I tell you that I was working beside the Four Generations today and that there was a message? Alright, just this once. If you have something to say, say it quickly."
"…"
"Kamiyue Jounin? Is that idiot Kakashi still standing at the door? Didn't I tell you to remind him that the Four Generations have never had the habit of sending people off? He'll definitely leave after hearing this. "
"…"
"Kamiyue Chuyun, speak!"
"… As expected, being a chief of staff is different. Even the trash Genma can speak loudly."
Huo Xuanmen did not know that when he heard the voice that seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, the hair on his back suddenly stood up. "It's Kakashi."
"It's me."
Genma scratched his head and decided to speak frankly. "Since the Four Generations has sent you out to do fieldwork now, there must be a reason for that. He must also have his reasons for not wanting to see you now. Moreover, I know that you don't really care much about your position. Don't be angry. "
”
"I'm not angry! There are some things that you don't know too well. In short, I'm mentally prepared for the matter of the hidden minister. "
Genma immediately sensed that Kakashi was actually calmer than he imagined and secretly sighed in relief. "Then what are you doing?"
"Don't you think that the reason Sensei sent me out to do fieldwork this time is too far-fetched?"
"I don't think so. It's fine if there's a problem with Chakra control, but you can't even tell the difference between the Four Generations and the red-eyed bunny. You deserve to go out and train properly."
"And the missions on the mission book are also very illogical." Kakashi continued.
"There's nothing illogical about it at all. There's a total of one C, three A's, and one S. Actual combat training, easy at first, difficult at last. The mission locations are also all over the five major countries. It's enough for you to fight to your heart's content. "
"But even if I fly around in Thor, it'll still take two months to complete all the missions. I won't be able to come back before the New Year!"
"…" Genma was silent for a few seconds, then moved the communicator away from his ear. "But in our batch, you're the only one who can stay at home every year to eat and drink without climbing snow and blowing sand."
"… Is that so?"
"Yes."
Kakashi was silent for a while. "Anyway, I just feel a little uneasy. I keep feeling that Sensei is deliberately sending me away for a period of time. "
"You're thinking too much." Genma heard Kakashi's doubts and actually had his own doubts.
But Kakashi changed the topic. "Maybe I'm thinking too much. You know, Sensei's health has really deteriorated over the past two years. And without Naruto and I, it's really hard to be at ease with the Light Guards. "
"Ah, that's also a problem, but …"
"It's fine if he's not busy, but when he's busy, someone has to remind him to eat and sleep well."
"Don't worry, I'll always be by Sensei's side, I'm …"
"He hasn't recovered from his cold yet."
"The best bootlicker in all of Konoha to please Naruto isn't Huo Xuanmen."
"Uh." Kakashi was suddenly at a loss for words. For the first time in his life, he felt short of breath in front of Genma.
Genma was overjoyed. After saying "Try to come back in time for the New Year", he simply hung up. And only then did he have the time to see the message from Mystic Moon Izumo.
Because after he finished reading the long string of Arabic numbers, there was another sentence besides "Kakashi is gone."
"If he holds a grudge against me, you can't just stand by and watch."
Genma shook his head and deleted the message. As usual, Thor went to Naruto's door, stomped the snow off the floor, and knocked on the door. "Sensei, Kakashi has left."
"Mm." Watergate didn't look up. He pointed at the pile of documents beside him and continued to flip through them. "He brought the bundle that Mute gave him, right?"
"Yes, he held it tightly in his arms." Genma tried to tease him.
But Watergate still didn't look up. "He didn't take out the medicine inside and throw it into the sewer, right?"
"No, no." Genma sighed and picked up the completed documents. "I just don't know if he will take the medicine on time."
"Anyway, he's the one who disfigures himself, not me." Watergate finally raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and looked at his watch.
Genma saw that Naruto wanted to rest, so he quickly put down the documents and picked up the thermos to pour water. "Drink more water."
Watergate didn't scold Genma this time. He just coughed twice to clear his throat. "Drink more water every day. Other than going to the toilet too many times, my throat is still dry."
Genma listened to Naruto's complaints and quietly took out a small bottle from his pocket and put it on the table.
Minato immediately felt his face turn green. "I've taken my medicine today."
"Throat lozenge. Take one when you feel uncomfortable."
Watergate shook the medicine bottle in disgust, poured out a white pill and put it in his mouth. "It's sweet."
"Yes."
"Why use this bottle for such a good thing?"
"Konoha Hospital only has this kind of bottle."
"Okay." Watergate silently put the bottle in his trouser pocket, then stood up. He stretched his neck and looked through the window.
"If you don't want to, then go see him off." Genma picked up a rag and wiped the fog on the glass. "He's not far away."
"I'll just look outside to protect my eyesight." Watergate scratched his eyes with his knuckles. "Looking outside from time to time does make my eyes feel better."
"Then please hold on." Genma continued to pour water and hesitated for a moment. "Actually, if you go see him off, Kakashi won't say anything even if he has doubts. Anyway, Kakashi won't say anything stupid like I'll retire after I finish my job and come back to marry a wife. "
"I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back." Watergate glanced at Genma and sat back down at his desk. "Okay, don't beat around the bush. Get back to work."
Genma looked at his watch. "It's only been two minutes."
"So what?" Watergate had already picked up a pen. "I'd rather be busy during the day than work overtime at night."
Genma could only cooperate. However, there was always a difference between working during break time and working time. "Sir, then sign this pile first. You don't have to look at this pile. Just write 'read'."
"Okay." Although Naruto said that, he still glanced at the pile as he wrote. He only relaxed after several spot-checks proved that the pile was indeed "read." Then he looked at Genma, who bent over and stuck his butt out as he helped him sort the pile of documents. He suddenly felt like laughing. "Genma, do you have a girl you like now?"
"No." Genma was absent-minded.
"Eh, no again." Naruto bit the end of his pen. "Kakashi because of Rin and Belt Soil. Shisui because it's inconvenient. What about you? Is it because the person you like is already married?"
"Don't think too much. It's not like that."
"Then is it because you're too busy to date?"
Genma sighed. "Sir, I gave you those documents to let you rest your mind, so don't worry about it at this time."
Watergate propped his chin up as he wrote. "But I'm really afraid that you'll be single for the rest of your life. I have a son, but you don't even have a child. Are you going to stay in the hospital together when you're old?"
"Sir!"
"There are so few Konoha ninjas. Since you're a normal child, you should seize the opportunity."
Seize the opportunity was usually used to dress up time.
