Chapter 12: The Gift (2)
Kakashi clenched his teeth and said nothing, and Rin looked at Kakashi and then at the water gate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As for the three faces of Obito and Makoto, the atmosphere did not dare to gasp.
"Kakashi," Mizuto said gently, looking at Kakashi earnestly, "I believe in you, one day, you will be able to do what you want." ”
The young man with his face covered lowered his head, and his half-long hair covered his eyes: "I'm full, thank you for your hospitality." ”
With a light jump, without the slightest vibration of the tables and chairs, Kakashi had already left the booth, came to the door, lifted the curtain, and walked out.
"Kakashi......" Nohara Rin looked back at Kakashi, frowned, peeked at Makoto, and hesitated.
"I'm full, too!" Because of Makoto's presence, Obito, who had not been very lively, exaggeratedly screamed, put the dishes and chopsticks in front of him, folded his hands, and did enough etiquette, and then left the table as well, chasing Kakashi.
Seeing Obito like this, Lin also made up her mind, smiled embarrassedly, and looked at her teacher, her eyes furrowed as if she could speak.
Shuimen nodded to soothe his disciple's heart, and with his acquiescence, Lin bowed to the others and went out as well.
Makoto's face was calm, but his gaze had just been withdrawn from Kakashi's back outside the door, and he glanced at Asma, who was secretly observing his face.
Asma looked away like an electric shock and tilted her head to pretend she didn't know anything.
No matter what happened to others, Akai, who had been immersed in eating and drinking, put down his dishes and chopsticks at this time, and his mouth was full of food, so that his speech was a little indistinct: "Even if you are full, Teacher Cheng, uh." ”
Red reluctantly handed the water glass in front of Asma to Kai, and the choked fierce young man drank it all on his back before rubbing his chest and showing an embarrassed smile: "I'm going to leave too." ”
This time is Kai's self-defined daily exercise time, if there is nothing major, he will not delay, nodded honestly, signaling that he can do whatever he wants.
Asmar flushed, and smiled casually: "Then let's go together." ”
The disciples left, and the two teachers fell back into the awkward and quiet atmosphere they had had at the beginning.
Long.
"I still don't agree with you." The golden youth spoke gently.
Makoto lowered his eyes, played with the wine glass in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "This sentence seems to have been heard all the time lately. ”
Shuimen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, he looked at Cheng with a hint of a smile in his eyes: "No, this sentence, in fact, I have often said it to you before, and you have said it to me many times." ”
In fact, some of the "embarrassment" that didn't exist in the first place immediately dissipated, and Makoto smiled silently, and also recalled that time.
The two of them were just ordinary little ninjas in Konoha Village, and under the walls on the edge of Konoha Village, in the tavern, in any street in the village, they would argue loudly about a certain ninjutsu issue, regardless of the occasion.
It's just that at that time, the argument between the two will always end with one party admitting his mistake convincingly.
At that point, they will always come to a consistent conclusion and use that conclusion as a premise for the next discussion. And unlike now, no one can convince anyone.
"I can't agree with you." Makoto said with a slightly solemn face, with a serious but not overly serious expression.
In the past few months, through letters or face-to-face arguments, I don't know how many times they have been persuaded by each other, and there has never been such a stalemate since the two met.
As a result, the faction that supported Makoto went to the base of the New Rain Country, while the members of the association who identified with Watergate stayed in Konoha, and although the two gangs were still nominally part of a unified organization, the Ninja Reform Association, which finally made a vague decision to "act cheaply" at the meeting that was fiercely debated a few months ago and no one could convince anyone, has essentially split into two forces.
Their goals are still the same, but their routes are different, and Cheng and Watergate, the two cores that insist on their own views and cannot compromise with each other, make it impossible for the two forces to overpower the other, resulting in the current result.
Watergate's blue eyes flickered, and he drank the last bit of wine in the glass, and a hint of flushing crept up on his face, but his tone was still calm and gentle: "You still don't go?" ”
Seeing that the water gate turned its head out of the door, as if he was pointing, Makoto put down the wine glass, reached out and took out a small scroll from his arms, and put it on the table.
The smile in Mizumon's eyes widened, and he also took out a scroll and exchanged it with Makoto.
It was still the experience of cultivation, it was still the exchange between scrolls, and the best friend in the red trench coat left his seat, without saying a word, and when he walked out of the door, the water gate was in a trance, and he seemed to see the indifferent young man who was still thin and low many years ago.
We've all grown up...... But nothing has changed.

"Kakashi! Wait for me! Obito panted as he chased after him, and Kakashi stopped, his back as straight as the sheathed knife on his back.
"What are you doing with you?" The tone of the dead fish's eyes is still consistently infuriating.
"I ......" with a local language, naturally refusing to admit that it was out of worry, and for a while I couldn't think of words to return the salute, so I had to say: "Who, whoever followed you, I just happened to take this road." ”
Kakashi's black eyes glanced over, and his body moved away a little, and his intention couldn't be more obvious.
"You ......" Since he didn't follow Kakashi, he could only walk over at this time, walking past Kakashi with a rustic puff, but his mind was spinning.
"Kakashi, Obito!" It just so happened that Lin also chased after him at this time, and Obito turned around and looked at the girl who was chasing after her.
Lin has two oil paints on her face, short brown hair, fair skin, gentle and amiable when she laughs, and has a neat temperament unique to female ninjas, and is a girl who is very easy to gain the favor of others.
At this time, seeing that the two teammates were looking at her, Lin couldn't help but slow down, flashed her eyes, and then smiled: "Do you two want to accompany me to a medical class later, I have some things to do." ”
Obito nodded repeatedly, and when he looked at Kakashi, he slowly shook his head and said to Rin, "Rin, let Obito accompany you, I can't be with you." ”
Feeling his seriousness and refusal, Lin couldn't help but show a worried look, but she had no choice but to leave with Obito first.
"Kakashi."
After sending two away, two more came, and Kakashi looked up to see that Asma Sarutobi and Sunset Red were standing together, raising their hands to say hello.
“…… Can I help you? ”
Kakashi wasn't in a high mood, this was a fact that anyone could see, Asma smiled and got straight to the point, "I don't know what happened, but you should know Makoto-sensei better than I do." ”
Seeing that Kakashi was noncommittal, Asma changed his words and said in a more sincere tone, "He's encouraging you, I don't think I need to talk about this." ”
As he spoke, Asma and Red approached Kakashi, Asma patted Kakashi on the shoulder, raised his eyebrows and said frivolously, "I gave you a gift, and I will open it by myself at night, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”
With that, he blinked again before leaving.
Finally quiet, Kakashi stood there, his body straight, but he didn't know where to look.
I don't know how long it took, the twelve-year-old boy silently took out the gift Asma gave today from the ninja bag, and opened the exquisite packaging skin, which was the appearance of a book.
As he expected, it was a contraband, with a vulgar cover printed with naked characters that would make ordinary people blush.
Kakashi casually tossed the book into the trash can on the side of the road, along with the removed packaging.
"Ninjas who don't follow the rules are all waste." He muttered, discarding it like a stumbling block.
