After a few rounds of playing, the kitten couldn't help but stretch out his paws, and Kakashi wrinkled and didn't hold Naruto's leg steady before helping Naruto block it with his other hand.

He could have grabbed the kitten's paws, but if he did, he would probably scare it and make it claw and legs again, and Naruto wouldn't be happy if he ran away in fright.

Naruto probably wouldn't have cared much even if he was scratched.

Kakashi silently withdrew his hand after being scratched.

“…… Tsk, I'm fine, but thank you anyway. ”

Naruto smacked his lips and pulled at his hair and raised his hand, reaching over to the cat bolder than he had just been.

The cat probably knew what he had done wrong, and twisted its two small paws that were standing on the ground with some uneasiness, pressed its ears and rubbed Naruto's hand with its head down - then turned and jumped off the wall, neither Naruto nor Kakashi could see it, but he could guess that it had just run away.

Kakashi quietly twisted his neck back, but even when he turned to the limit of what a normal person could reach, he didn't see the child's expression.

But listening to the tone is not much unhappy,

…… Actually, Naruto had just told Kakashi to ask him to come forward and beckon Hinata to come and see the cat, but he didn't expect the cat to run away like that.

Kakashi also wanted Naruto to touch the kitten more before greeting him, and he didn't expect the cat to run away like this.

Kakashi still doesn't understand why there was and is something about Hinata...... Except for that exam, this kid would want to figure it out for himself.

Although not a few times.

ㅤ

Hizashi took out a roll of bandages from his sleeve and opened it, briefly wrapping Kakashi's hand around a few times.

He had these for Ninji, although Ninji hadn't used them much, and Naruto didn't need them.

But he didn't bother either, after all, it was likely to be useful sometimes—wasn't it now? …… Although it was just scratched by a cat.

After that, Naruto rode on Kakashi's shoulder and didn't get down, and Kakashi carried the little doll on his shoulder and followed the little dolls carried by the other two adults and walked around briefly, until he said goodbye to them before Ninji's daily training began in the afternoon.

Ninji trains all day, but Naruto will suspend and cancel it when he comes, and for Ninji, who is only three or four years old, the daily training customized for him will not be too extreme, and it will not be at all so much if he is a few times.

“pyepye——”

Ninji waved his hand vigorously at Naruto on Kakashi's shoulder, and he was so excited that he shouted P in the first time when he participated in the farewell, and he seemed to have forgotten the previous unpleasantness.

"See you next time."

Naruto just nodded with an expression as he hugged Kakashi's head, a little cold, but he actually wanted to avoid scaring people and children with his smile.

"I've been causing you trouble all this time...... Thank you so much. ”

Kakashi held the child steady and bowed slightly.

"We should be the ones who want to say thanks."

Hiza glanced at Hizo, and Hizoku nodded, so he came forward to talk for Hizoku again.

Hinata stood beside Hizo's leg and raised her head timidly, Hinata frowned and looked at her for about ten seconds, took a few steps back diagonally and nodded to signal that she could also go over and say goodbye.

Hinata opened his eyes wide, and looked at his serious father for a few seconds, and then nodded vigorously as if he had just woken up from a dream, and ran to Ning Ci's side with small wooden shoes.

Ninji looked at Hinata, so did Hinata, and Kakashi also looked over when he heard the sound, only Naruto raised his head to look at the scenery.

He really didn't want to have too much contact with people he couldn't get along with.

“…… That, that...... Good bye! Welcome back ......!! ”

Hinata clenched her small fists and held it for a while before she mustered up the courage to shout, but after shouting, she grabbed Ningji's clothes and hid behind him.

Naruto gave a small hum, then twisted his head.

When Hinata saw it, he thought that Naruto preferred to play with Brother Ninji, so he didn't treat himself like this who couldn't do anything...... A little sad.

…… Brother Ning Ci is really powerful, and if you say it, you might want to communicate with him more than other guys.

"Well, I'll come back."

Kakashi crouched down and touched Ninji's head, and after hesitating for a moment, he also gently touched Hinata's hair.

Hinata blinked, and ducked behind Ninji a little more.

"Shall we go tomorrow afternoon?"

Naruto lay on Kakashi's head, his fingers curling around the wig.

"This ......"

Kakashi digressed the subject, "Let's think about it later, I just saw that cat reminded me of something from the past, can we go see the cat?" And then adopt one and come back ......? ”

He didn't really want to explain that from the outside.

"Huh...... Are you okay anymore? ”

Naruto leaned to the side holding Kakashi's head, looking down at Kakashi's expression.

Compared to usual...... It doesn't seem to make a difference.

[Is it thinking too much?] ]

Naruto sat back and pinched his face.

“…… Well, and I think if there's a cat, you won't be too bored if there's nothing going on, and if I'm in a bad mood because of something else, I'll be healed when I come back......"

Kakashi would actually be a little reluctant, but he smiled anyway.

Naruto didn't see it.

"Can I specify the appearance then?"

Naruto suddenly became excited.

He actually likes cats more than bullies, though if he had to give up, he probably wouldn't have dropped any of them, but would have them all.

Abandon? Inexistent.

…… If it develops to that point, then I can only support the infinite moon reading of the Black Jedi.

"Hmm...... What do you want to raise? ”

Kakashi asked with mixed feelings.

I couldn't see Naruto's expression myself, but I wanted to ...... He was probably very happy.

"It's a very big, hairy one, like Maine - do you know what Maine is? It's ——......"

As soon as he talked about cats, Naruto was going to talk more than Kakashi in his memory state.

He excitedly tugged at Kakashi's wig and told him what he wanted his cat companion to look like, and Kakashi nodded from time to time to indicate that he was listening.

Kakashi thought that if he wanted to find a cat that met the child's requirements, he might not be so fast, so he didn't go to the place where there was a cat for now, and then went to help him find it himself.

Naruto was looking forward to it, but it wasn't right away—he wasn't ready yet, and he had to at least prepare something at home that the cat would use, otherwise it would be in a hurry to buy it now.

So he didn't lose his temper and said that he had to go now, and when he was done talking about what he wanted, he talked about other cats with great interest.

ㅤ

They chatted and went home.

Kakashi saw several large and small cakes on the stone bed at the doorway, and he also saw the small broken sofa with a much more decadent body for some reason.

And Naruto didn't care what happened to Kakashi, and his attention was always focused on the cake after entering the door.

…… So much, it's all your own!!

He was excited again.
