Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Drunken Night (Part II)
Kakashi stood in place in a stiff position. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey! Could it be that my arms are colder than icicles? β
"Ah~~" Kakashi completely lost his temper and walked obediently with his head bowed.
"So, be gentle with children~ Actually, when you see Naruto and Iruka so intimate, don't you feel envious? Do you feel that that kind of life is very far away from you? β
The man nodded in response.
"Ahhh~! It's rare that you would admit it so happily! Actually, you are also very important in Naruto's heart, if you can hug him tightly, he will remember it in his heart, because, for him, this is a great reward! It's a happiness he can't even dream of! β
"Yes, so, is it serious?"
"Yes. You have never lacked love, but why not let your children enjoy it? You know, what kind of joy that will bring them! They are actually very easy people to satisfy! β
ββ¦β¦β
Kakashi had regained his composure, and slowly walked forward with his arms raised, and the clogs made a crisp kicking sound under the fat kimono.
"That, I'll take you home~" The man stopped suddenly.
"Did you go back so early? Finally, I can go on a date once~"
"Huh~This ......"
"I'm, honestly, Kakashi, I cherish this opportunity!" Looking at him in the moonlight, my eyes showed how serious I was.
ββ¦β¦β
"Haha~ I'm sorry! It seems to have been overdone~ Okay, I know what you're going to do, it won't affect you, let's go, let's go together! β
In front of the memorial monument.
"Well, I'll give you an hour, I'll go first, and I'll come to you later." Then it disappeared into the night.
Kakashi stood there dumbfounded.
After a long time, slowly open your arms.
When I returned, Kakashi was standing straight like a sculpture.
"Hey~" called him.
"Yes!" The man came to his senses.
"What are you doing! Come, here you go~" Take out the prepared bento and sake.
"Bento? Wine? β
"Well, I know, here's someone very important to you, and this is for him."
"But he can't drink......"
"What do you say, the years are passing, and the teenager will grow up, look at yourself, how can you still stay in the past! Just let him grow up with you! β
Kakashi was silent, took the bottle, drank half of it, spilled it on the ground, and placed the bento in front of the monument.
At this point, I had already set up the fireworks bouquet launcher in the open space and pulled out a large number of fireworks bouquets and stuffed them for him.
"Come on, let him feel the festive spirit too!"
Brilliant ceremonial flowers erupted in the air, like sparks, like flowing fireflies, even if there was only a moment of brilliance, it was so blazing and so bright.
The night breeze is getting cooler, and it's already autumn.
It was a crazy night, it felt like a dream, and I didn't know how I could do such a thing.
"I said~Kakashi, if ~ something offended you just now, then ~ I'm sorry, am I~ a little too much?"
The man was still looking up at the deep night sky, where the fireworks had gone.
It's been a long time, so long that I thought it was irretrievableβ
"Nope."
Kakashi withdrew his gaze and faced me, "Okay, can I hug you?" β
"Huh?" It's really hard to believe your ears.
ββ¦β¦β
"Okay, okay."
The man walked over, hugged briskly but forcefully, and let go.
"Thank you, I'll keep it in my heart this night." Kakashi said. Because, from this night on, I realized that life turned out to be colorful.
I was still petrified at this point. It's really rare to be able to get this far!
"Well, then, go back, it's getting late." Kakashi whispered.
"Yes." The mechanical one answered, and began to walk towards the village.
When I got home, I couldn't believe that all this was true, because I couldn't believe that I could change a person.
I slept until dawn, and suddenly woke up and promised Sakura to go to her house, and hurriedly got up to freshen up, but I didn't have any formal clothes, so I had to put on the kimono that Red gave me.
When he left the building, he saw Kakashi standing there quietly.
"Yay? Morning! β
"Morning, yo-yo."
"Why, it's the holidays, there shouldn't be anything going on at school, right? Or, is there a task? But you're dressed like this......"
"Well, I said, Sakura's invitation, you also received it, right?"
"Hey~ That's it."
"Originally, I didn't want to go, but now it seems that let's go together."
"Hehe, that's good~ Sakura will be happy!"
Sure enough, Sakura's expression was absolutely overjoyed, and even tears welled up in her eyes, it seems that she has been rejected more than once.
Sakura's parents were also very welcoming, and out of respect for the teacher and reverence for the ninja, the etiquette was very grand, which made me a little overwhelmed.
"How?" Coming out of Sakura's house, he asks Kakashi how he feels.
"A sincere heart, a wonderful day." The answer was brief.
I laughed, what a change!
I've done everything I need to do, and I'm going to set off again.
On the third day, he rode a thousand golden horses and rushed to the small valley.
It's just as lively, but this year's mood is different.
The Shimizu family's silver jewelry shop is closed again, but it should be because of the festival.
There was a knock on the door, and someone came out of the house.
Lifting the door curtain, Miyu's delicate face is revealed behind the glass.
"Huh? Sister Yoyo! β
I was pleasantly surprised.
Open the door, "Come in!" β
"Excuse me!" Walk through the shop and into the inner courtyard.
"Where, it's too late to welcome, but I really didn't expect you to come!"
"Hehe, look at how you guys are doing, and by the way, look at Ranmaru!"
By this time, both of them had heard the movement and greeted them.
It seems that Ranmaru is doing quite well here, and after proper treatment, he can walk on crutches, and he is more smiling than before.
The reason is that his red eyes are used for carving with unexpected effects, and the silver jewelry made by him is noble and elegant, with beautiful and smooth lines, and lifelike images, which are praised by people, and the goods are in short supply, and now Ranmaru has found his own meaning and place in life.
For these friends outside of Konoha, they often visit and walk around, but they actually follow the previous habits, right? For me, who has known thousands of people and traveled all over the country, it is really not easy to be trapped in Konoha all year round, and the circle of contacts is limited to one village~
After two days in Xiaoqiangu, he began to walk back in circles.
However, who said that happy families are all the same, unhappy families have their own misfortunes, no matter where, the joy of the festival is reflected in the eyes of the same prosperity and joy.
Back in the village, the celebration continued, and after dropping the saddle and dismounting at the entrance of the village, the guard shouted, "Yoyo-sama, please hurry up and go to the ninja club!" Today is the day of the Shinobi gathering! β
Oh? Is there anything else going on?
The ninja club is located in a relatively remote corner of the village, but a large word "ninja" on the towering building is particularly conspicuous.
At this time, in the auditorium of the clubhouse, the elites of Konoha were gathering together. Although they are in the same village, it is not uncommon for them not to see each other for a year due to various reasons such as tasks and confidentiality, so they take this opportunity to drink and laugh with each other, and their joy and friendship are fully expressed.
Kakashi is no exception, but he likes to be quiet, but he doesn't take the initiative to talk to others, just sitting in the corner, leaning in his ears to distinguish the voices he cares about, learning about the changes of his friends over the year, and occasionally making jokes about the people around him.
When I arrived in a hurry, I was frightened by this formation, which is more than the special defense meeting, is this the real strength of Konoha ?
Fortunately, in the crowd, I saw the big man Ibiki at a glance, and I found an acquaintance to calm me down a little, and hurriedly walked towards him.
"Hi, Ibiki ~"
"Yo, Yoyo, why did you come?"
"Yes, I didn't know there was a party today!"
"yes, I think about it, you're a new tojo, but didn't Kakashi tell you?"
Kakashi walked over with a teacup, "Yes, I wanted to say it a long time ago, but there was some accident...... "Walking towards me around the corner, "I've been looking for you for the past two days, but no one has been there!" β
"Yes, I went to the Shimizu family in Kochigu."
"Is it for the kid who was with Rayya?"
"Well, the kid is doing well now, and I'm relieved."
ββ¦β¦ I said, Yoyo, sometimes you really don't look like a ninja~"
"Where, ninja, such a large-scale gathering, I'm afraid it shouldn't be, right?"
As he spoke, he had already walked to the corner and sat down, but his last sentence was heard by others.
"Ahem, how can you say that~ This kind of gathering is the most suitable for a hot-blooded young man like me, and it would be great if my beloved students could also participate in it one day!"
It's rare to see Kai so frustrated!
But there is no need to worry about him, because he poured the hot tea into his mouth in a blink of an eye, and went to mingle with other "hot-blooded youths".
"Do you know, Ning Ci he, has entered the dark department." Kakashi said calmly.
"Huh?" When I heard the news, I was not at peace.
"Hmm." Asma and Red both nodded.
In the case of the middle ninja, with loyalty and strength, there is always a certain chance to enter the dark part, but it is easy to get in and difficult to get out! Entering the shadows means that everything about himself, even his personal personality, is completely dedicated to the Hokage, and everything is based on the needs of the mission, and even the name is not allowed to have. So, is this Ning Ci's own choice, or is it the request of the Zong family, or maybe the separation of the family?
