Chapter Thirty-Third: Dinner time at Hatake's house
It's still a while before lunch time, and Sakumo seems to have just returned home. He hasn't started to prepare anything or is doing anything.
However, Yu saw a green vest hanging on a hanger nearby, an ordinary one with sleeves added at one seam.
However, the one with the sleeves is a little behind. If you don’t look carefully, you would think that there are other clothes, not extra sleeves.
"I felt this before... Maguro ran here very quickly, and the destination seemed to be my house, so I thought something was wrong." Sakumo prepared a glass of ordinary water for Yu, and said with a slight tangle.
He also poured some water into the wine bowl and handed it to Zhen Hei.
"Actually, I want to go to school to find Kakashi, but I'm worried that something will happen to him if he comes here, so..." Yu scratched his head, "Can I ask him to come here near noon? My house.
My eldest brother doesn't seem to be very good at getting along with her. I don't know what will happen when I go to school, so I took her out without permission, and I don't want her to hide in the wild again... I will also prepare the ingredients.
The food cooked by Uncle Sakumo is delicious, and I hope she can eat it... and pay for it! Although it may not be much..."
Yu took out most of the money he had put in his pocket that morning and handed it over seriously.
A strange beast, which is already considered a large animal to humans, came towards my home in a menacing manner...it didn't feel very friendly at all.
Moreover, Sakumo is also a ninja, so he will not be unaware of the situation around him like ordinary people.
"...Uh, this..." Sakumo didn't know what to say.
He has never been in contact with strange children, and he doesn't know how to get along with other children. After all, they are not Kakashi, and their personalities are much different, so they cannot be treated in the same way.
And there is an animal... He has also cooked and entertained others. There are animals, but they are basically small animals, and this...
…Do leopards eat vegetables?
He didn't take any money.
Since the other party is a child, there is no difference in making one or two more portions for lunch. Moreover, the child has already started to bring the ingredients. We can’t let him carry such heavy things back again, right?
"You don't have to pay. You just need to prepare some more ingredients. It won't use much. You might as well put them away. As long as you are willing to be friends with Kakashi, is there anything you like to eat?"
Sakumo pushed Yu's money back with a smile, walked to the door, and briefly looked through the bag.
There's a little bit of everything in there.
"I'm not picky about food. I can eat anything even if it's dark...Thank you, uncle."
Yu stretched out his hand to brush the surface of the money and sighed.
[Although I have saved a lot, I can’t spend any money during the few days I came here...]
Although it's nice to be able to get something without spending any money, it's still... awkward.
She put the money away, poured out half of the water in her cup for Zhen Hei who had run away all the way, and then drank the rest. Holding the cup, she followed Sakumo who was carrying things into the kitchen.
"Are you going to start preparing lunch? Let me help too. I often help at home! I've done all the peeling and chopping! I won't throw the dishes when I wash them!"
Yu put the cup on the table aside and patted his chest, looking very confident.
"Yes, yes, but...well, can you help me wash the rice?"
Sakumo bent down and said with a smile.
He originally wanted to refuse, but Yu just looked at him with bright eyes.
Children's eyes are very damaging to relatively friendly people.
Unless the child's eyes are so small that they look like they are squinting or the person opposite cannot see them.
"No problem, wrap it up on me!" Yu hit his chest again, trotted around behind Sakumo, and grabbed his ponytail, "Uncle Sakumo, do you have any extra hair ties?
?Or scissors can also be used. I haven't cut my hair for a long time. My hair is too much in the way. If it accidentally falls into the rice, I will be despised by Kakashi."
Sakumo's hair feels harder than real black hair and not smooth at all.
It feels very similar to Jiraiya's hair, both fried and tied up.
"Yes, please wait a moment--" Sakumo moved the things to the side to avoid tripping Yu, and then walked out of the kitchen.
Then he saw Zhen Hei, who was wandering around the small low table in the living room. He didn't know whether he was confused or bored.
"It's really dark...? You can lie down...sit on the cushion over there. I'll borrow your little master for a while."
Sakumo took out the kunai that he had put into his pants pocket, stuffed it into the ninja bag beside him, and went back to his room to find a hair tie.
The hair ties Sakumo keeps are all very simple ones, made of dark red rubber.
"Thank you, uncle." Yu saw that he had brought a small comb over and reached out to take it.
"I'll do it, tie it up, right?" Sakumo smiled and pulled him into the living room, squatted behind Yu, picked up the comb and combed all his hair back bit by bit, "Yours
Your hair isn’t short either, how long have you kept it there?”
(?The explanation of how to call Yuu by ‘him’, ‘her’, etc. is in Chapter 30, and the explanation of how to call Makiro and Yuu by ‘it’, ‘her’, etc. is in Chapter 27.)
"I don't remember. It was a long time ago when I last cut my hair. My brother is not very good at cutting. It would be wasteful to just cut a little bit when I went out, so I left it as long as it is..." Yu held the cypress very naturally.
woven into his own past.
"Is that so? Then I will simply cut it for you after lunch, if you are willing to believe me." Sakumo combed Yu's hair together, put down the comb, held up the hair band with his five fingers, and put it on his wrist.
Then he used the hand with the hair tie to replace the one that was holding Yu's hair before, pulled the hair tie off his wrist, flipped it over and tied Yu's hair into a ponytail like his own.
——He doesn’t know how to comb his hair into a high ponytail.
Yu's hair is just long enough to be combed to the bottom of the back of his head, so no fish will slip through the net.
"What's your name?" Sakumo touched his hair and asked.
"Yu, even though it is this, you can call it whatever you want." Yu couldn't see his hairstyle, but he didn't care whether it was good or bad, and even felt that his vision had become wider.
"Well, Yu, your hair feels very smooth and tied up... it looks like a cute girl."
Sakumo picked up the hair from the comb and the ground, and crumpled it into a ball in his hand.
"People often say this...that's why I thought that I should definitely cut my hair short before going to school, otherwise I would scare the boys in my class or the next class when I go to the toilet."
Yu calmly told him that he was going to the men's room.
She always felt that Sakumo was testing her gender.
...How should I put it? There are very few boys among the classmates who would play with Kakashi. Apart from Gai, only girls would chase Kakashi enthusiastically. Obito is not included, except for Obito.
In addition to worshiping Kakashi when eating fish, at other times he wants to defeat Kakashi's people.
She didn't know what Sakumo was thinking, but it was always better to be cautious.
Moreover, she had missed the toilet before. If she went to the women's toilet again... she might be beaten out. If she explained... then her brain-twitching behavior of going to the wrong toilet before would be exposed. She didn't want that.
Although in fact no one can make her feel ashamed if she is more shameless, but...
Anyway, there is nothing to lose if you act as a male to the outside world, and it will even be easier to get along with Obito and Kakashi now.
The only drawback is that he can't get too close to Lin...because in the eyes of others, he is a boy, not a girl.
However, you can also use this to get close to Lintou in front of Obito to make him more aware of the crisis.
[Well, that’s okay.]
She secretly agreed with herself in her heart.
"Indeed, it would be better to cut it shorter." Sakumo didn't doubt him, even though Yu didn't clearly say that he was a male.
Sakumo went to take out the small matza from the bathroom and placed it under the sink. He took out the inner pot of the rice cooker for Yu, rinsed it a few times and then scooped a few cups of rice into it.
"Be careful around the edge of the pool. Don't get hurt. I'm going to pick vegetables first. I'll leave the rice to you."
Sakumo is like a kind old father admonishing other people's children.
Although he is indeed the father, and he is not too old in age, his appearance is a little bit different.
Sakumo wasn't going to tell Yu how much water to add.
Yu said that he often helped at home, but Sakumo didn't quite believe this.
Because Yu looks too young, even younger than Kakashi in his own family. If there are older people in the other party's family, how can they safely let such a young child do these things?
... No matter how Yu will cook the rice, he doesn't plan to tell him. If the final result is too bad, then he will have to tell him how to cook the rice. It's better not to say anything now.
Sakumo didn't expect much from this.
-
Yu carefully pushed his sleeves up to his elbows and washed his hands twice, then put some water in the inner pot and lay on the edge to turn over the rice grains inside with his hands.
Some of the rice has some light spots, but it's not that, but Yu still wants to pick out those.
[Sakumo and Kakashi are also from the same zodiac sign, so it should be nothing...]
Anyway, it's just a few dots on a few dozen grains of rice, not much.
After picking the rice, she took some water and stretched out her hands to rub the rice grains in the water to disperse some of the rice that had clumped together.
Pour clean water, pick up the rice with a squeegee and wash it again, pour clean water, and then quietly add a little salt. According to the feeling, add the right amount of water to the inside, pick up a clean dishcloth and wipe the outside of the inner pot.
After leaving a drop of water, he carefully got off the mazaar with the rice and water in the inner pot, and walked to Sakumo who was squatting in front of the trash can peeling garlic.
"After washing, do you want to peel the garlic later? I'll do it." Yu stared at the garlic in Sakumo's hand.
"...Okay, okay, I'm going to leave it to you." Sakumo smiled reluctantly and took the inner pot, then handed the garlic to Yu's hand.
... Kakashi is not such an enthusiastic person. Although Kakashi is as lively and cute as a normal child at home, this is the first time Sakumo himself has seen such a... child.
He put the inner pot back into the rice cooker, picked up the cord and connected it to the power supply. After pressing the cooking button, he took the picked vegetables, onions and other things on the plastic wrap spread far away from the trash can.
Place it on the kitchen counter, clean it and place it on the chopping board for a while before proceeding with the next step.
(?Realistic cats and dogs cannot eat onions, chocolate, or foods with high salt content (human food has a lot of salt for animals). This is a psychic beast, so there is no problem.)
-
It was lunch break at the ninja school, and Kakashi returned home as usual at a slightly faster pace than others.
But today no one welcomes him home.
Kakashi opened the door and saw the situation in the living room.
——A big black panther.
After the black panther saw him, he got up from the seat.
"..." Kakashi stood stunned for two seconds and immediately took out all the shurikens and kunai in the bag, and threw them all at the black panther.
"What did you do to my father!!!!!"

20.01.07.-1-
Either this or that should be the last year (?), but that... it's hard to say, there is no news yet.
I checked Weibo in the morning and saw that Ma Hou was no longer there... Although it was only a short week, and I didn't see it because I didn't refresh Weibo very much this week... But after seeing it in the morning, I went to find out about the situation, and I felt a little sad.
, I followed Weibo to follow the situation for a while, and when I saw Zhong Erlou was not there, I was... very sad.
Then I continued to read Weibo, and accidentally found a video of a shady figure outside the pot. Then I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t watched the Eight-Tailed Enchantress for more than two years, and missed the animal shady behavior series in it... So I searched it (because I am a fan of Station B and
There are too many people following Weibo (maybe a few thousand). Although I follow them, I rarely have a chance to see them all. So I search for people faster than I follow them...), and I found that the cover of January this year was a dog.
Dog (although it’s not written that it’s animal-oriented… I plan to add them to watch later and play them all)
