Chapter Seven: Kakashi's Darkness

"I'm back. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Silent and gloomy corridors, familiar atmospheres.

No one responds to themselves, not in the prison called "Home", where no one is there. Accustomed to all of this, Kakashi took off his shoes in the hallway and walked into the house alone and tired.

This is a small room that is used as a living room. The old dim light, the conspicuous cobwebs on the beams of the house now tell outsiders that no one has been here for a long time.

In this dusty room, the furnishings are simple, placed in the middle of the room is a four-person table and chairs, with a set of tea sets on top of the table and covered with dust, which looks like no one has touched it for a long time.

Kakashi stopped and stood in front of an offering altar.

The incense burner in front of the altar was lit, and the faint green smoke rose up.

In the photo enshrined on the altar is a man with an indifferent expression, who does not look very old but his eyes are very sharp like a knife, and most importantly, the man has a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he wants to smile at the person who took the picture, but he has forgotten how to laugh.

It's heart-wrenching to watch.

"Father's ......"

Kakashi pulled down his mask, the only way to make his heavy heart feel a little lighter.

――Why did the heroes of the village become spurned by the people?

- Why does my father have to die?

- Konoha, why do you treat its heroes and guardians like this!?

Crunch, clenched fists, Kakashi suddenly punched the pillar next to the altar. There was a dull thud, and the fist pierced the entire pillar, and the whole room seemed to tremble because it was a load-bearing pillar against the eaves.

"--Damn!!"

Kakashi's mournful groans rang out abruptly in the dark room.

I don't understand, no matter how much I think about it, I can't understand it. Why did the father, who is known as Konoha White Fang, choose to commit suicide. Why do the people of Konoha treat the heroes who saved them countless times like traitors? I can't figure it out.,I can't think about it with reason.,Because often at this time, I will be extremely resentful of my father and Konoha.。

Kakashi remembers the powerful and somewhat clumsy father who doesn't treat others too gently and often likes to hide his emotions. Although he is not a very qualified father, nor is he a person who will always take care of his family.

However, for himself, he is an irreplaceable and only important family member who is trying to express his feelings in his own way. My father is not only my elder, but also my idol, and a yardstick in life. It's a powerful and invincible Konoha White Fang that makes the entire ninja world fearful.

But the final outcome of such a hero is not to die on the battlefield, but to choose the way of self-determination......

No kidding!!

Father is a hero! It's the hero who saved Konoha - !!

Woo...... Whining....

Kakashi fell to one knee on the ground, his throat rolling in his throat as if he would lean out in the next second, but he finally couldn't vent it.

My chest is so heavy that my eyes are spent...... Damn tears, can I even have such a weak thing?!

Kakashi's eyes glistened with stubborn tears, and he couldn't hold back his tears.

"Why, it's you...... Dad. ”

"You should be a hero, and you should be with me on vacation. Even if it's for the sake of my family, I'll be proud to be able to stand side by side with you until one day. But what is that!! ”

"Give it back to me...... Give me back my life...... Give my father back! Damn—ahhh ”

………………………

Minutes and seconds passed.

By the time the moonlight entered the room, everything had returned to calm.

Young Kakashi closed his heart and curled up in the corner of the house, staring blankly ahead. He was immersed in grief at this time, and only by letting the sadness surround him, and letting the feeling of pain and loneliness continue to stimulate his heart, only then would Kakashi have a "Ah, so I'm still alive." Perception.

In retrospect, the Uchiha guy rushed at him so angrily today...... There was a moment in his eyes as if there was déjà vu. However, I didn't find out because the situation was too dangerous at the time, and now I understand the look in that guy's eyes when I look back...... It turns out to be very similar to me.

Kakashi twitched the corners of his mouth, the tyrannical and crazy look in a look that only someone who had experienced the loss of something important and the possibility of going through it again. It's like being myself when I first learned of my father's death.

At that time, I have to say that I was like Uchiha Obito, frantically trying to find someone to take revenge on him. It doesn't matter who the other party is, it doesn't matter if there is hatred or not, just give yourself a reason.

Of course, at that time, I did think about wanting to take revenge on the whole of Konoha and the people who criticized me for killing my father. If you really can......

"I really want to turn the whole Konoha into a sea of fire...... Only then will they be able to understand what they have done to me. Kakashi's eyes glazed and he muttered as if unconscious.

However, he is not like the Uchiha Obito to the point where he will lose his mind if he goes crazy. His father's education and Konoha brought him to realize that if he was crazy about taking revenge on the people around him, it wouldn't change anything, just spread hatred and sadness to others.

My father will not be resurrected, he will die, no one will pity the entire Qimu clan, and even at that time, it may affect all the clansmen. So Kakashi chose to compromise, not to Konoha but to admit defeat to himself.

Restrain yourself, seal yourself, abandon your feelings, and turn your heart into steel.

Ninja is all about obedience, and obedience is everything.

Follow the rules called Ninja Path, guard the rules, and follow the rules to the end!

In that case, maybe I can ......

――!?

At this moment, a kyo suddenly flashed in Kakashi's heart, and after thinking about it carefully, Kakashi found that the face of the Uchiha Obito that he had met in the morning suddenly appeared in his inner world.

For a moment, Kakashi's face darkened.

The guy who doesn't follow the rules and likes to do everything according to his own understanding.

With those arrogant eyes that disdain the whole world, Uchiha Obito is definitely not a qualified ninja. He is a man who can change at any time because of his personal feelings, and the rules of ninja have no dignity in his eyes, and he is a man who acts completely according to his heart's desires.

That guy's existence is like he was born to fight against himself, and just standing with him is deeply unpleasant!

I can't agree with him, I definitely won't agree with him!

Uchiha Obito is the kind of person who can abandon the mission at any time for the sake of someone important. That's right, it can already be concluded by contact this morning. Uchiha Obito is a man who is to protect Rin and even sacrifice everything, even if it is a mission that has a major relationship with Konoha in the face of it, once Rin and the task have problems at the same time and need to make a choice, Obito will definitely not hesitate to fall to Rin!

That's it! That's what it looks like! It's exactly the same choice Daddy made! I know better than anyone what the end will be. So Obito doesn't deserve to be called a ninja! Because he, like his father, is an existence that will be spurned by the village! I would never allow myself to become someone like Uchiha Obito! Absolutely not!

Gradually, the night deepened.

Darkness enveloped Konoha entirely.

Kakashi, who was also cowering in the corner, completely embraced the darkness.

The eyes with a strange luster in the darkness gradually lost their light, and degenerated into silence and cold numbness.

"Uchiha - Obito."
