Naruto's height prevented him from bathing freely in the pool.

Either sit in a proper manner, or sit stupidly with your head up, or stand in the water and jump like a fool, or go and step on Kakashi.

After stopping laughing, he jumped back to his seat as if listening to a lecture, and sat seriously for five minutes, then he couldn't hold on.

He threw a handful of water at Kakashi's head and told him to go out and lower the water level.

Kakashi stepped out of the pool as he had intended, wrapping his scarf around to keep the water from flowing to the ground, scooping out a lot of water with a smaller holding of water, and then taking in some hotter water to neutralize the warmer water from before.

Kakashi had had enough of soaking and sat on a stool outside with a bath towel draped and continued to look after Naruto.

The water was down to Naruto's knees, and he didn't need a stool to sit in the pool now.

Naruto lay on the 'fence' of the pool, raising his hand and falling to hit the water, occasionally hitting the two ducklings that spun around and quacked.

After a while of amusing himself in the pool, he plunged into the water and swam in circles.

The inflatable pool wasn't as big as a normal pool, but it was big enough for a two-year-old kid to splash around.

When Naruto had had enough of the water, he pulled the edge of the pool down to the inside of the transformation recess so that he could see out of the pool.

When Kakashi saw him show his face, he smiled at him, "Are you still playing for a while?" ”

To be honest, Kakashi was very sleepy right now, especially after a few days of not resting and taking a sleepy hot bath.

He held on and didn't let himself fall asleep.

Otherwise, in case Naruto's leg cramps or drowning...... That's dangerous.

"I'm sleepy."

Naruto held out his hand to Kakashi.

"Let's go take another shower and change out of your swim trunks."

Kakashi lifted him out of the pool.

He first put Naruto, the little ancestor, to bed before rubbing his eyes and began to finish up the 'miserable situation' in the living room.

Most of the water that has been splashed out has become a mass of dried water stains, and if you don't wipe it off now, you will have to work harder to wipe it off later.

Kakashi dusted some water on the floor, then filled the pool water in a bucket until there was only one bottom left, moved it to the bathroom and started to wash it, spread it on a drying rack and put it in the small yard to dry, changed the swimming trunks into his daily loungewear, and began to clean up without disturbing Naruto.

When Kakashi was almost done, he found himself hungry.

{Speaking of which, the rest of the previous ones were left with Obito...... Let's hope he can fix it. }

If you don't eat it, it will be bad.

I just don't know if in the Shenwei space, will those 'rotten' foods breed disturbing little bugs.

Kakashi went to the kitchen lightly and rummaged through his refrigerator, and the only things he could eat without turning on the fire were cabbage, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, and some fruits.

He pulled the two leaves on the outside of the cabbage, took out a carrot and washed it together, and gnawed to fill his stomach.

Then he went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went back to his room to sleep.

-

As long as Naruto's side was fine, he could sleep until he was woken up.

Kakashi is different, as long as he rests to the point where he won't get sleepy anymore, he will gradually come to his senses.

Kakashi sat up in a daze, his brain was empty, and when he returned to consciousness, he gently squeezed Naruto's small hand holding the big puppet, tucked the quilt for him, and quietly got out of bed.

It was almost noon now, and Kakashi decided to go to that restaurant again and buy a dish that Naruto liked to eat and bring back.

-

Whether they are facing each other or diagonally, if you look up, you can almost see four rock statues that have been painted at an unknown time.

Looking at the past from a distance is different from looking at it up close, you can see all kinds of uneven imperfections when you look at it closely, but from a distance, it looks very complete, and it can even be said to be vivid.

Some people have not yet noticed that they are doing what they need to do as usual, and some people have not noticed it for the first time, and after a little sigh, they seem to cheer up and go to their respective 'tasks' briskly.

I have to say that this is really easy to touch, and even Kakashi, who participated in the painting himself, will be very moved by the vivid appearance of the late teacher's rock statue when he looks at the shadow rock full of color.

At this time, he would suddenly have the idea that the teacher was still by his side.

…… But that is no longer an impossible reality.

{I'm sure I won't let a similar tragedy happen again.} }

In the midday sun, the glittering golden statue made Kakashi re-determined in his heart.

He turned resolutely and walked towards the restaurant he frequented.

"I'm sorry, a pot of meat, thinner and crispier, two rice and a vegetable mix, takeaway!"

Even ordering food has become imposing.

Kakashi went home in high spirits, taking the inflatable pool downstairs to dry.

“……”

When Kakashi closed the door and turned to enter the house, he suddenly saw 'Obito' sitting in the living room.

His momentum from the lifeless rock statue was suddenly gone.

Obito's mask lifted along with his head, and the eerie red glow from the eyehole caused Kakashi to swallow back the words of greeting.

He stood in the doorway, and Obito sat in the living room, and the two of them were in a stalemate, neither of them speaking first.

Obito noticed the familiar smell of the lunch box Kakashi was carrying.

“…… I thought about it. ”

There was no emotion in his voice.

“…… Ah, okay, but you wait first, I'll go get Naruto up and eat first......"

Kakashi coughed lightly and pretended to be calm as he placed the lunch box on the table in front of Obito, and as he got up again, he noticed the water glass on the table.

Obito seems to have poured himself a glass of water, but the glass is still full.

Kakashi didn't think it was anything to pay attention to, and after smiling politely at Obito with his eyes, he washed his hands and went back to his room.

"Naruto, get up, it's time to eat."

Kakashi lifted the quilt a little and picked up the child and hugged the puppet's arm.

A child's strength is the greatest only when he hits someone without knowing the severity of it, and it is not worth mentioning in other things.

Five seconds later, Naruto's fingers moved, and his eyes slowly opened.

"Hmm...... Good morning. ”

Naruto saw that his hand was being lifted, and after thinking for half a second, he withdrew his hand and hugged the puppet again.

Kakashi waited patiently for a minute, and Naruto's eyes were already clear when he looked up again.

- "What's breakfast?" ”

Naruto kicked the quilt against the bed.

With Kakashi here, why did he go and clean up the quilt.

Otherwise, what do you want Kakashi to do.

"It's noon, and it's late when we went to bed...... Lunch is your favorite dish. ”

Kakashi rolled Naruto's quilt and placed it at the end of the bed.

"Oh."

Naruto nodded in satisfaction with Kakashi, and with a single step of his legs he flipped over the big puppet, went down the side of the bed and put on his little slippers, and ran out of the room.

Kakashi was picking up the puppet and sitting on the bed when Naruto, who suddenly ran back, hugged his legs.

"What's wrong?"

Kakashi crouched down and gave Naruto a hug.

"Why is he here?"

After Naruto symbolically hugged the 'fake father', he pushed Kakashi's head aside and asked with a frown.

The voice of this man speaking in his head is easy to make people sleepy.

Naruto covered his mouth and yawned slightly.

"Hmm...... He just said he had thought about it, but I didn't continue the conversation with him...... Anyway, let's talk while we eat. ”

Kakashi stroked Naruto's hair and took his hand and led him out of the room.

Obito looked up at the two men again.

…… I have to say that it's really like a father and son.

"If the Teacher Is Still Around......"

《……》

Obito clenched his fists.

-

The thinner pot meat became more crispy and delicious, and the amount of meat was increased accordingly as the slices were thinned.

Naruto happily ate half of the rice, but was still defeated by his stomach, which had been there for less than three years and hadn't grown much.

Kakashi invited Obito to eat with him, but he waved his hand and refused.

It wasn't until Kakashi was almost done with the rest that Obito spoke again.

"I thought about it for a while, and I still don't want to go to Tsunade-sama, although I don't want to admit it...... Kakashi's abilities have always been outstanding, so you can use my body to train your hands, I agree. ”

Obito said indifferently as if he had seen it.

"Poof—"

Kakashi was eating the last few bites of rice from a bowl when he heard Obito's 'dedication' and immediately squirted rice.

If you can't look up, you can't have Obito, and if you can't turn your head, Naruto, Kakashi immediately lowered his head, and the rice grains that spewed out were taken away by himself.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Kakashi waved his hand to Obito to stop talking, and there he tried to cough out the grains of rice that had choked into his trachea.

Obito handed over the untouched water in front of him.

"I'm going to drink water, too—"

Naruto raised a hand at Obito.

Kakashi, who was handing the glass to his mouth, hesitated for half a second, coughing and handed the glass of water to Naruto.

Naruto took a sip of water with his eyebrows raised, deliberately ignoring Kakashi, who was about to cough out his lungs, and began to chat with Obito with his eyes lit.

- "You'll find out that this is a wise choice, by the way, can you let me practice it too?" I want to practice stitching so that if the cats scratch it, I can sew it myself. ”

Obito glanced at Kakashi sympathetically, and couldn't help but complain in his heart that this kid was terrible.

"It's better to leave those things to Kakashi and the professionals at the hospital."

Obito thinks that even if he can't die easily, not just anyone can casually knife himself.

Kakashi? That's what it takes to save Lynn.

After all, it's really not good to bother people other than those in the know.

"Ahem, no, ahem,"

Kakashi coughed as he stubbornly tried to interject.

- "Naruto, cough, the cat that said is, cough cough, is a puppet...... cough, "

There were two people around, but Kakashi could only pitifully backhand himself on the back.

“……”

Obito looked at Naruto expressionlessly.

Naruto smiled at him.
