Chapter 53: Once

"So?"

Naruto unceremoniously slapped him twice in the face.

"Ahem,"

Kakashi almost choked on his own saliva after being hit in the face, and quickly lowered his head and coughed, looking into the distance.

- "I don't have any thoughts of falling in love, but if that happens, I guess...... I'm going to look for a girl who is my age and has a similar attitude to life. ”

"What's your forties?"

Naruto grabbed his hair again and asked suspiciously.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ahem, cough, cough, cough! ”

Kakashi really choked this time, coughing so much that he bent over and almost threw the child off his shoulder.

Naruto hugged his head tightly after asking, but was still thrown so much that Kakashi's head almost separated.

But fortunately, he is not sinking, and his strength is not too big.

Kakashi did have almost thirty years to live, but his mental age was still very early.

"Naruto, I'm sixteen years old now, even if I want to find someone who is similar to me back then, I'll have to think about it when I reach that age again......"

Kakashi really didn't want to think about those things now, because it was tiring enough to have a child, although there were other reasons, but the more important thing now was obviously not his own business.

β€”β€”β€œβ€¦β€¦ What about you? ”

Kakashi asked after a moment's pause.

"I don't think I'm suitable for a relationship, and I'll live on my own in the future, because I really don't want to care about other people's feelings and thoughts, and I don't want to respond to any feelings...... When the time comes, you won't feel lonely with some cats and dogs around, right? You should also know that my thoughts and my current thoughts should not be much different. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, yes, sure enough, you're still you...... However, if you have a kitten or a puppy, it is better to find those psychic beasts that have been bred, and even if you sign a psychic blood contract with ordinary pets, you can't live longer like psychic beasts. ”

Kakashi raised his hand and stroked his hair.

β€”β€”β€œβ€¦β€¦ The pet you used to have passed away at about the same age, but luckily you didn't know it, because β€”β€”......"

At that, Kakashi suddenly fell silent.

"Because I'm going to die after that."

Naruto had already learned from Kakashi about what had happened to Kakashi's side before.

Kakashi couldn't say it, but he could.

Because he doesn't have those memories, he doesn't empathize.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, and it's actually suicidal. ”

Kakashi exhaled a long breath and lifted his head half-tilted, imagining Naruto's expression behind his head, "Because it knows that there is no way to change it, it is better to go first than to watch you leave." ”

- "Obito also knows, and helped me deceive you...... It's a pity that my place in its heart is not very important, and I can't persuade it at all, so we control it, but after that, it started a hunger strike, and finally Obito couldn't stand it, so he let it go, and when I saw it again, it was already ......."

"What did you do with its aftermath?"

Naruto comfortingly patted Kakashi's head a few times and gave him a hug on the back of the head.

"You said you wanted cremation, and we did it later...... Because ordinary flames can't completely burn the bones to ashes, so after burning them all over again, I asked the ferret to help, and finally pressed those two into small ornaments, and hung them on the wall of your house, I ...... I go there once a week to wipe the dust off them and clean them up. ”

Kakashi said as he jumped onto the room and led Naruto from the roof towards home.

"Don't you live with me?"

Naruto pouted, "What a waste, could it be that it has been empty since then?" ”

"Well, they also said they couldn't stay with you like nothing had happened, so...... Also left, went to a far away place. ”

Kakashi picked a flatter roof and lowered Naruto off his shoulder.

"Then you're really hard."

Naruto held out his hand sympathetically.

"At least a lot has changed now, and like you said, I've already died once...... So that's all in the past. ”

Kakashi crouched on the ground, taking the child's comfort.

β€”β€”β€œβ€¦β€¦ I hope you grow up safelyβ€”otherwise every time Sasuke comes back and the seventh class gathers, you won't be there, don't you think it's sad? Sky...... Yamato was so drunk that he couldn't speak clearly every time, and in the end, I sent him back with Sakai. ”

Kakashi suppressed his irrational feeling of getting agitated and withdrew his hand before clenching his fist.

"Hey, why is Yamato so sad? I guess I'm easy to be hated. ”

Naruto is really self-conscious of his broken character.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ Maybe it's because you often take the deer to his wood to eat, he has a deep affection for you and your deer, and Sakai too, saying that the manuscript you asked for in the past was actually not very serious, and you and the teacher had to draw it again every month according to your photo...... Your father, and then calculate how much it costs and how much you owe him. ”

Kakashi thought back to those scenes, and his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he smiled at him.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Tut. ”

Naruto smacked his lips and slapped Kakashi's knee several times in dissatisfaction, reaching out to him, "Go back!" I am hungry! ”

"Okay."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes, took the child's hand, and pulled him back into the street, slowly walking back home.

-

Although Kakashi still had a lot of savings, they didn't have any dishes other than eggs and milk that were easy to get along with meat in their three meals these days, and Naruto even asked him to buy more bitter melon to try to overcome his aversion to that bitter taste.

Kakashi also accompanied Naruto to a vegetarian diet because of the previous operation.

Not to mention, being vegetarian is actually quite healthy.

Kakashi's shadow clone also symbolically eats some, in order to avoid starving the main body when he returns at night.

Although it may be that before that, the hunger disappeared on his own.

- I didn't eat at the Uchiha house before, one reason was because I was a shadow clone, and the other was because I didn't want to take off the mask in front of others at will.

Itachi: They're fine, but Sasuke's little kid doesn't necessarily have to say it.

It's nothing to say, but if someone doesn't believe it, it's annoying to see if it's true.

-

After lunch, Naruto walked around the big puppet that Kakashi had brought him several times in the living room, and after walking for less than ten minutes, he lay down in the plush arms of the puppet, basking in the sunlight reflected in the window, and taking a warm nap.

Kakashi came out with a very thin quilt and put it on him, and after washing the dishes, he also leaned over to the other side of the bear and closed his eyes.
