Kakashi Hachiki was now confused.

Again, although three-quarters of Kakashi's face was covered by a mask and forehead guard, he was indeed confused now.

Ever since he received this year's student from his mentor - a strange word, but this is indeed this year's student, Kakashi Hachiki has never been in a good mood.

Can't shirk the orders and requests from his mentor who is the Hokage, Kakashi Hachiki, who has his own set of standards, can be said to have a very complicated emotion for the students who were assigned to him this year.

I hope that they can make a completely different choice from the previous two batches of students, but there is still a feeling of resistance to them in my heart.

The only son of the fourth generation of the Hokage, the second son of the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, and the little girl of the Mashu family who has been terrible since she was a child.

Either one symbolizes trouble.

After pausing for a long time in front of the memorial monument engraved with his friend's name, it wasn't until nearly two hours had passed since the time to go to the ninja school to meet his future students that Kakashi Hachiki arrived at the ninja school slowly.

If the three children were impatient before they arrived, or complained to their parents after they returned, then he could naturally put down this job, which was a hassle no matter how he looked.

But! Be!

He didn't expect that as soon as he pushed open the door of the classroom, he saw the three children standing in a row, and then Naruto Uzumaki, who was standing in the middle, shouted "one, two, three" with a smile that was so bright that it was a little harsh......

The three children actually sang to him!!!

Kakashi's heart was stunned, Kakashi's emotions were broken, and Kakashi's expression was confused.

He didn't know why the three kids were singing to him, yes, he really didn't know that. But the three children sang songs that sang the praises of their mother's love and wished their mother a long and prosperous life.

So Kakashi Hachiki was even more confused.

What to do with his song? Are they planning to do a talent show for their respective mothers on Mother's Day in the future?

But this talent show is also too ...... It's peculiar!

First of all, Naruto was standing in the middle, and his voice, which usually sounded full of vitality, turned into a broken gong when he sang, so he didn't say anything, after all, he Kakashi may not really be able to catch up with others when he sings.

The problem is young man, you don't have a single line in tune!!

Yes, not a single sentence is on tune.

Being able to go out of tune all the time is also a skill, if it weren't for Naruto Uzumaki's expression being too sincere, as if his mother Kushina was standing in front of him at the moment, Kakashi Hachiki would really have to wonder if this young man did it on purpose.

As for Sasuke Uchiha, who was standing to the left of Naruto Uzumaki......

Well, although through the description of his mentor, and some rumors about the graduates of the ninja school after paying careful attention these days...... Let him know that the younger brother of Uchiha Itachi, who was a junior in the shadows, was an out-and-out cold-faced little handsome guy - at least it seems.

He also felt that the young man in front of him in a blue shirt had some shadows of his own past......

But young man, you know, singing and chanting are two different things, okay? Singing is meant to be sung, young man! You reluctantly read the lyrics that seemed to be very ashamed the whole time, making him an onlooker look embarrassed, okay?

As for Sakura Haruno, who was standing to the right of Naruto Uzumaki with a smile on her face......

Although the little girl's singing voice is sweet and every sentence is in tune, he always feels that this singing incident has an inseparable relationship with the little girl in front of him, who is also his old acquaintance - maybe she planned this matter!

Everyone is an old acquaintance, although they haven't seen each other for a few years, but this little girl's demeanor back then ...... Kakashi Hagi felt that he would not forget it for another ten years.

After all, it was the little girl who said back then, "To be a good ninja, the first and most important thing is to have a brain".

In another ten years, it will only get more brutal.

Kakashi Hachiki listened to the singing of his future three students with a blank face, and his mind crossed thousands of thoughts and all kinds of complaints.

Finally, when the three young shinobi in front of him who had just graduated finished singing the song praising mother's love, Kakashi Hachiki came back to his senses slightly, and then asked the three children in front of him who seemed to be quietly waiting for their response:

"It's ...... Stirring singing," he chose an adjective that was both in line with the singing of the three and also not against his own conscience, "so you ...... What is this doing? ”

"Of course, I'm giving you a greeting gift, Sensei," Naruto Uzumaki, who stood in the center, couldn't hide a smile on his face, and his tone was mixed with a slight smugness.

But this made Kakashi feel even more confused.

Gift? Does that have anything to do with the song they just sang?

"That's right, Sensei," because he didn't know the name of his mentor, or that his mentor was his father's former student, Naruto Uzumaki could only end up referring to him as a "sensei" who couldn't make mistakes.

"You're so late, we guess you've been on a mission before, that's why you're back so late," Sakura Haruno's speculation sounded a little strange, but Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha eventually believed it.

They can't guess that their mentor Shinobi came so late because he had an accident in the middle of the mission and is now in the hospital, right?

Even Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki found Sakura Haruno's rhetoric a bit odd, not to mention Kakashi Hachiki, who had eaten more than ten years more than them, and he let out an "oh" with a blank face, though no one else could tell......

Then he locked his eyes on Naruto Uzumaki's right, the smiling Sakura Haruno who was always smiling.

Without thinking too much, he also knew that this little girl must have come up with these words.

What "he came so late because he went on a mission before", which unlucky kid would believe this kind of nonsense when he heard it......

Wait, it seems that the unlucky child is the only son of his teacher?

In his heart, he whispered his apologies to his mentor and the only son of his mentor's family who were unfortunately injured by himself, and Kakashi, who only felt that he couldn't keep up with the pace of the world when he came two hours late, continued to ask, "Then you are singing this song for ......"

"Thank you for your dedication to Konoha!"

There were too many slots in these words, and it sounded like nothing, but Kakashi Hachiki always felt that something was wrong, and he could only continue to ask when he was unable to complain, "...... So why is it a celebration of motherly love? ”

Does this necessarily have anything to do with thanking him for his dedication to Konoha?

"Teacher, don't you know?" Naruto Uzumaki looked like "Why doesn't this teacher know anything, is it really the legendary elite shinobi", but he still replied patiently, "Because one day husband and wife for 100 days...... Whew!!! ”

The words that were enough to make Kakashi, who was already very devastated, even more devastated, were interrupted by the use of critical hits by the two friends standing beside Naruto Uzumaki.

I saw that Sasuke Uchiha, who was standing on Naruto's left side and pretending to be a cool brother with a blank face from beginning to end, gave him an elbow directly; At the same time, Sakura Haruno, who was standing to Naruto's right, also stepped on him.

"Ahem!"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem."

Two light coughs with different meanings came from the mouths of the two of them, one big and one small, and they were really startled by Naruto Uzumaki's words...... Kakashi Hachiki, who was also "moved" by the tacit understanding between Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, who seemed to be a little wrong......

Sakura Haruno's dry cough was more like a reminder of Naruto Uzumaki, whose brain circuits are always different from ordinary people at critical times.

"Ah, it's wrong, it's a teacher for one day and a father for life," Naruto Uzumaki smiled and scratched his golden hair inherited from his father, "Then there is no difference between father's love and mother's love, right?" ”

I don't know if it's serious or perfunctory, and Kakashi Hachiki doesn't know what to say at all.

He looked at Sakura Haruno, who was smiling silently, and then at Sasuke Uchiha, who was obviously impatient with his hands in his pockets on the other side, but still cooperating with Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno......

The mood suddenly became even more complicated.

Bringing his future three students to the rooftop of the school, the three children lowered their voices and muttered that they didn't know what they were talking about, but this couldn't hide it from the ears of Kakashi, the elite shinobi, so that series of discussions reached Kakashi's ears.

Kakashi Hagi, who was walking in front, only felt that his heart was exhausted, but he didn't know that this was actually just a short beginning.

When it came time for him to introduce himself...... The answer he got made him feel a little mixed for now.

Naruto Uzumaki, who likes his mother's cooking and is addicted to ramen, hates waiting because of his impatience, and dreams of surpassing his father to become the Hokage.

He won't be honest about what he likes, and he won't say specifically what he hates, but he dreams of surpassing his dear brother Sasuke Uchiha.

And......

The things I like are still the same as back then.、Most of them involve his adoptive mother, Sakura Boats.,And the things that I hate don't point out one by one.,As for the dream is very simple.、And you can see the shadow of the education of the boat stream "protect yourself and your companions" of the Haruno Sakura.。

This class may not be as troublesome as he thought, and even the personality is very interesting, Kakashi Hachiki thought as he assigned the task of survival drills to the shinobi in front of him, but the strange laugh he deliberately let out that was enough to give people goosebumps didn't last long......

I heard the little girl suddenly say again-

"Oh, yes, I actually hate people who pretend to be ghosts," the little girl was still grinning, and her turquoise eyes looked at Kakashi, who was also an old acquaintance of hers, "I'm very angry when I see someone pretending to be a ghost in front of me." ”

As if she had guessed something, she tilted her head and said to Kakashi Hachiki in front of her, "I want to come to Mr. Kakashi...... Kakashi-sensei wouldn't do that, would he? ”

Kakashi Hachiki: "Huh? Oh......"

- So, Lord Jianwen, what have you taught your daughter to be like in the past few years!

I don't know...... Maybe he still knows the general situation of the seventh class at the school, and Shunaken Min, who is being reported by Kakashi Hagi with the most sincere grievances, is sitting in the house reading a book at the moment.

As if thinking of something, Zhou Jianwen suddenly closed the book he was reading, and then asked Veneto, who had been sitting beside him:

"How's it going over there?"

Veneto refilled a cup of tea for Funaka Min, and then nodded slightly, "Mutsu, who stayed in the country of waves, has already found the two people you said a while ago, and the other party's situation is the same as you said, as long as there is a bounty, you can sell your life." ”

"Mutsu has assumed the position of head of the Chamber of Commerce of the Republic of Wave and the country of Wave in accordance with your orders, and has ensured their safety in the country of Wave and to assist them if necessary......

This was indeed the order that Funaken had given to Mutsu at the time, and she recalled the situation of the two men she had asked Mutsu to stay in the country of Ha no Ha, and then asked, "Did they refuse?" ”

If the other party refuses, then she will not force anything more.

She would put forward such conditions to those two people, on the one hand, because these two people are really not so annoying, and on the other hand, there is also her own opinion. But if the other party refuses, Zhou Jianwen will not continue to force anything.

After all, they weren't Sakura Haruno raised by her, and it was impossible for them to get all of her attention and planning.

"Actually, it's not a refusal...... "Veneto thought about the echo from Mutsu earlier, "those two people...... No, the man meant that they didn't need our help in fulfilling their ambitions, as long as the bounty was generous enough. ”

Veneto described the reply he received from Mutsu, then seemed to pause slightly, and then added, "I heard Mutsu mean that those two men were happy with the honorariums of the head of the Chamber of Commerce, but they were just impatient with the mundane business. ”

"It's still a person who can carry it," Zhou Jianwen didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction or anger when he heard Veneto say this, and even smiled slightly, "Although it's a traitor, I also know what I want and what I am suitable for. ”

I don't accept unwarranted help, and I know that the most important part must be done by myself.

"You tell Mutsu for me, and then ask her to relay it to those two people, and they will say that the Wave no Kuni Chamber of Commerce will provide them with the shelter they need, and the treatment they need...... Including monthly salary and quarterly dividends, they are paid by the director of the Wave Country Chamber of Commerce, and they don't need to do anything dangerous in normal times......"

"All they need is a show at a critical time."

Veneto nodded, those two people are still temporarily living in the sphere of influence of the Wave Country Chamber of Commerce, and the words of his own commander's lady will soon be able to pass on to those two people through Mutsu.

Although she didn't know why her own Miss Commander cared so much about those two people—especially since they were still traitors from other countries, her own Miss Commander's command had never made a mistake, so they just had to do what they were told.

Sooner or later, they'll find out the truth.

"Sakura is almost back," said Shujian, looking at the clock hanging on the wall, and then said to Veneto on the side, "Let's go and prepare some snacks for her first, she must have a lot to say when she comes back today." ”

At the same time as Shunaken - although this same time is actually a question mark - Veneto, who knows who Haruno Sakura's guide Shinobu is, nobu smiled and nodded, these days Shujian Wen has not told the little girl who her future companion and guide Shinobu is.

Thinking about it, for the little girl who is not mentally prepared, today's situation will indeed be a "surprise".

It turns out that Funaka and Veneto were not wrong at all, Haruno Sakura was elated and reluctant to leave Mashu's house this morning, and when she returned in the afternoon, her original joy was completely replaced by confusion.

"I really didn't expect that I would be in the same class as Naruto and Sasuke-kun," after changing into her home clothes, the little girl lay down on the table without any image, and sighed at the smiling Funaken in front of her.

"And the guide is actually Mr. Kakashi."

Although the last time she met Kakashi Hagi was when they were separated at the entrance of Konoha Village, the little girl with an amazing memory naturally did not forget the Mr. Shangnin who protected them for most of the year.

"But his impression seems to be a little different from that time."

She still remembers that Kakashi Hachiki was silent and reserved, meticulous when carrying out escort tasks, and serious and serious when guiding her.

But when she saw him today, she felt that something seemed to have changed in the other party - it can't be said that he has become lazy and slack, but he was actually a few hours late when he was in contact with the shinobi she was responsible for......

Sakura Haruno felt that this kind of thing didn't seem to happen to Kakashi Hachiki back then.

"Is this the change in state of mind that Lord Jian Wen mentioned?" With her hands propped up on the table and sitting up straight, the little girl looked directly at Zhou Jianwen and asked with some confusion, "But I always feel that something doesn't seem right......

Mr. Shangnin, who occasionally revealed a little gloom that even she could perceive, what did he encounter that made him what he is today?

"I think he figured it out something......" Zhou Jian Min pondered for a moment, and that day Mizumon said that Kakashi Hachiki seemed to have figured it out, and now judging from his daughter's words, it seems to be really the case, "Could it be that he said something?" ”

The little girl shook her head slightly, "Not this one, how can I say it...... It feels like Mr. Kakashi is more ...... than he was back then Not...... Sleek? ”

She also knew that it seemed a little strange to say such a thing with her age and seniority, but Kakashi Hachiki was indeed much more sleek than he was a few years ago.

Obviously, he proposed to introduce himself, but in addition to the name she already knew, other things he liked and disliked, interests and dreams were all vaguely covered up by him in various ways.

Finally, when the task of tomorrow's survival drill was arranged, there was even a strange laugh for a while.

Fortunately, she still remembered that the old acquaintance in front of her was quite mature in his mind and would not do strange things for no reason...... Otherwise, the kunai in the ninja bag would have been smashed directly over.

- Although the other party will definitely be able to avoid it.

"Speaking of which, I'm going to get up early tomorrow early in the morning to do some kind of survival drill," although he had already conducted several so-called survival drills when he was at the ninja school, if it was Mr. Kakashi Hachiki who proposed it......

She always felt that something was unusual.

Or it must be accompanied by many difficulties and dangers.

"Get up early in the morning, then I'll let you prepare breakfast," Zhou Jianwen said, and then stopped his own little girl who originally wanted to refute, "Skipping breakfast is not good for your health, breakfast is very important no matter what time it is, especially if you have to have a survival drill later." ”

"If you don't eat anything, you won't have the strength."

When Sakura Haruno heard it, she also felt that her own Jianwen's words were reasonable.

Although Kakashi Hachiki also said the words "I will vomit if I eat breakfast" after arranging the task of gathering at five o'clock, but in view of the fact that the other party was still a few hours late today...... Who knows if the other party will be a few more hours late tomorrow morning?

"It's not a good thing to be late," Zhou Jianwen seemed to see the little girl's thoughts, so he pointed out nonchalantly, "but while you wait, you can still do something." ”

She winked at Sakura Haruno with a stunned face.

"Remember what I said to you?"

A smile finally appeared on Sakura Haruno's face, and then she nodded heavily, "If you want to turn the crisis into a turning point, you can't suffer a second time." ”
