After the meeting, Kakashi Hatake returned to his office, and he couldn’t tell whether he should be happy or unhappy——

The group compromised.

Although he tried hard to make up for what he said "still needs to be observed," he knew that they would compromise.

Because they are stupid and greedy.

He is afraid of her eyes and fighting power, but also eager to use this power for his own benefit.

However, this is not an end, but a beginning.

If Sasuke really wants to keep her in the village, then those people will definitely extend "tentacles of testing" to her. Therefore, in order to protect her, there are still many things that need to be done.

Although he would think a little inappropriately every day, "Why do I have so many things to do as a Hokage?", but I have to say that this incident made him feel a long-lost motivation, which means that he is very willing to do this.

Do, I am willing to use all my energy and strength to protect her.

This is not to make up for the original regrets.

Because he knew very well that she was not Obito, so although she was Obito's reflection in his eyes, she was by no means a substitute.

It's just that he feels he has such an obligation, that's all.

At this moment——

Hatake Kakashi suddenly turned his head and looked at the window of his office, showing a helpless expression: "Naruto, how many times have I told you to leave."

"Yo~" Naruto Uzumaki, who had begun to habitually ignore this sentence, raised his hand and greeted his teacher, "Good morning, Kakashi-sensei."

"Morning." Hatake Kakashi sighed and asked, "You are still on vacation. If you don't get tired of being with Sasuke, why are you here? What? You like going to work so much? Then help me...

…”

"Don't do that kind of thing——!!!" Uzumaki Naruto wailed, and then decisively took out the food box that was originally hidden behind his back, and showed it to his teacher with a bright smile on his face, "Kakashi-sensei, I

I came to bring you breakfast."

Kakashi Hatake could tell at a glance that what his disciple was holding was a special takeout box for Ichiraku Ramen. He immediately smiled and said with understanding, "Did you take them to eat Ichiraku Ramen this morning?" Hmm.

, she would like it, because Obito liked it very much in the past. Unfortunately, that guy was relatively poor at that time, and he would only have a good meal when he returned to the village after completing the mission. Occasionally, Minato-sensei would also treat them.

"Yeah~" Uzumaki Naruto gave a thumbs up, "Yugao-chan wants to eat Konoha's special breakfast. When it comes to Konoha's specialties, I have to say Ichiraku Ramen."

Hatake Kakashi:= =

Sometimes he really admires his disciple's communication skills, why did he change from "Miss Xiyan" to "Xiyan Jiang" so quickly?

"So?" Kakashi Hatake held his chin in one hand and asked with a smile, "You just eat it, how could you think of bringing it to me?"

"It was Sasuke who reminded me." Uzumaki Naruto replied honestly, "He said that you would come to the office very early today, and you might be hungry. I didn't expect that he was right... As expected of Sasuke."

Hatake Kakashi: "..." Sasuke... Well... That child indeed has extremely excellent talent, vision and "smell". From the moment he decided to bring the person back, he may have guessed that he and the village

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has responded to the situation and has also thought about corresponding countermeasures.

Moreover, there was absolutely no doubt about his determination to protect her...

Did you even specially arrange breakfast for him this morning?

Is this considered a reward for his mission as a teacher?

Hey, life is scary.

At this point, Sasuke is not quite like his brother Itachi, but rather like Madara Uchiha who has been hiding in the dark and stirring up troubles for many years. But this is normal, after all...

And such Sasuke has never been systematically cultivated, and this village will never allow it...at least for a long time after the Fourth War, it will not allow an Uchiha to take the position of Hokage, no matter it is

This is true for both the upper class and the villagers. Of course, Sasuke himself obviously disdains this.

What a pity...

It's not that Naruto is bad.

Naruto is also very good, really very good.

It can be said that he is born to stand at a high place and be able to infect and lead others. He has a very strong personality charm of "raising his arms and making people follow him".

However, it can be said that Naruto, who grew up in darkness, has strangely always stared at the light with his eyes. Therefore, he is somewhat too naive.

A village, or any place, cannot have only light. Where the light is, shadows must follow.

Therefore, Naruto needs companions, many, many companions, who love him, respect him, admire him, help him, and surround him. Only in this way can a village be ensured to function well.

But at the same time, Naruto may still need a critical moment to hold him back.

Originally, Sasuke should be standing in this position.

pity……

It would be great if these two people could join hands.

Naruto is responsible for focusing on the present, and Sasuke is responsible for looking at the future. Under the guidance of the two, this village and even this world will inevitably...

"Kakashi-sensei?" Uzumaki Naruto blinked his eyes as blue as the sky and the sea, and asked doubtfully, "Why are you so dazed? Don't you want to eat ramen? What I bought is the flavor you usually eat."

"Ah, I'm sorry," Kakashi Hatake came to his senses and replied with a smile, "I just accidentally thought of something else. Thank you for your hard work, Naruto. I'll return the food boxes and bowls myself when I get off work today.

, you can continue to accompany Sasuke."

"Yeah!" Naruto Uzumaki didn't mean to be polite to his teacher. After nodding his head readily, he decisively jumped out of the window and left again.

After his disciple left, Hatake Kakashi glanced at the empty window in a daze, then took out the ramen from the take-out box, slowly pulled off the mask on his face, and ate it slowly.

stand up.

To be honest, he doesn't have much of an appetite.

However, the disciple’s efforts should never be wasted.

Well...

If possible, he would also like to catch a fish and entertain him...but...there are so many things to do...

Hey, this Hokage is really meaningless. Naruto, please, grow up quickly.

the other side.

Time goes back a little bit.

After sending Uzumaki Naruto away with the excuse of "going to deliver some food to Kakashi-sensei", Uchiha Sasuke dragged Uchiha aside under the gaze of the other three people and said that he wanted to have a few words with her alone.

.

"……Why?"

The Uchiha belt was dragged away with a confused look on his face.

After standing still.

Uchiha Sasuke: "..." Well...how should I say it? Those embarrassing words. Tsk, as expected, Naruto is a natural troublemaker.

"So, Sasuke," Uchiha put his hands behind his back and asked curiously, "what do you want to whisper when you drag me here?"

"...Who wants to whisper to you?"

"Oh..." Uchiha deliberately dragged out a long sound and said maliciously, "Then I'm going back~"

"Hey." Uchiha Sasuke raised his hand and grabbed someone's arm, thinking "deeply" in his heart that she has become bad. Tsk, it turns out that Konoha is not a good place. She has only been back for a long time, and people are already bad.

I woke up. But... it felt a bit like a dream. Is it because I returned to my "hometown"? Thinking about it this way, bringing her back was not a wrong decision.

Perhaps only here can she find her "true self" as soon as possible.

This realization made his mood a little complicated.

"..." Ochiha Uchiha, who was joking at first, paused, keenly aware of the emotions of the people around him, and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Sasuke, I was just joking. If this offended you, I apologize.

"When facing important people, she can always bow her head and apologize quickly and smoothly. Of course, face is important, but it is not worth mentioning compared with the really important things. Besides, if Sasuke is angry because of her inappropriate words, then

It was her fault in the first place, and she deserved an apology.

"I'm not angry." Uchiha Sasuke replied, "Don't think nonsense."

"Yeah." She smiled and nodded, "That would be the best." Then she asked, "So, Sasuke, what do you want to say to me? Is there anything extra you want to tell me?"

"

"...No." Uchiha Sasuke took a deep breath, and then said with some difficulty, "That's right...that guy Naruto...well, likes Sakura."

"I can see that." Uchiha replied with a smile, "Yesterday you were on the street and said, "You are so angry that you become a beauty." It's so handsome~ When will Sasuke be able to be so angry for me?"

"...Don't even think about it." Uchiha Sasuke refused to do such embarrassing things in public and continued, "Although I like him, that guy is a slow idiot and has not been able to pursue him so far. So, he asked me

Please help."

"That's it!" Uchiha clapped his hands and nodded, "Indeed, Sasuke, who is already married, can indeed be said to be the 'winner' compared to Naruto."

Uchiha Sasuke: "..." I have to say that the word "winner" touched the winning DNA in his body very well, making him feel a little happy. But at the same time, no one knew better than him that he actually had no idea at all.

Never won.

Of course, he did not intend to say this at the moment, because he was not sure whether Kakashi-sensei could "win". If not, he would turn around and leave with her and Team Eagle without hesitation.

In order to prevent trouble, he will not say anything until everything has settled.
