Chapter 138: A Responsibility That Doesn't Belong to Yourself
Of course, Kakashi, who had only eaten half a bowl, was not full, but Naruto had drunk more soup since the second bowl, and he didn't eat much of the other ingredients that had been boiled, so he barely filled Kakashi's stomach, which had been empty for almost a day, so that he didn't make a hungry grunt because his stomach was empty.
Kakashi still didn't have much appetite, but he knew that if he continued like this, he would be hungrier when he woke up tomorrow morning, so he took the bowl to the kitchen with the child who was dead and didn't let go, and took out some vegetables and soup from the pot that were no longer hot, but still warm, and put them into the bowl, pinched the spoon and gently scooped it so that it didn't bumble with the edge of the bowl, and he ate more than a bowl slowly.
Kakashi didn't boil a lot of it, though, because he didn't think he and Naruto could eat much with a small stomach, but because the Nine-Tails might have the idea of trying it, he made a little more.
There were almost two bowls left, but the soup was mostly drunk by Naruto, and there was enough dry food left to make Kakashi desperate to go for a walk in the Tsukiyomi world.
He'd heard from the same Naruto and Obito as he had said about the limited monthly reading, but he couldn't imagine it at the time - it was only later when he had the means of transportation and the game console computer that he had roughly understood.
It was said that it was specially made for Naruto, but for some reason Naruto had to pull Sakura and Shisui with him......
Why not call yourself?
Kakashi thought about it for a moment, but then he could understand that he hadn't recovered from his fracture at that time.
As compensation for the perpetrators, Naruto asked Lotus to stay at home to take care of herself, but when they returned, they still regretted not taking her with them.
I heard that they had met the teacher again, Naruto had already seen him during the previous Loulan mission, and was even invited to the half-price Ichiraku ramen, which had opened that day.
That's great.
Kakashi was so envious, envious of the experience of seeing his teacher again.
But he doesn't envy it now.
Because I had already seen it when I came here, and I got a comforting hug - it was warm.
Now I only have the endless regret that I have to do things in the wrong way and lack of ability to stop Obito at that time.
…… I could have done better.
And he's now trying to get better – but not for himself.
It's for the important people who have lost themselves.
Kakashi, in a trance, unconsciously ate everything in the pot into his stomach, and when the spoon finished scooping the last bit of food in the pot and put it in his mouth, he suddenly found that there was no imaginary texture - and he held on.
It's very supportive, very supportive.
The kid who didn't feel like anything just now Kakashi can't hold it anymore, and he just feels a heavy burden.
Kakashi lifted Naruto a little higher and put his legs on the top of the cupboard, reducing his weight a bit, and waited for a moment before taking a deep breath - picking Naruto up again and carrying him back to his room.
…… It's ok, I don't want to go to the bathroom for a while.
Kakashi thought as he placed the child under the covers and lay down himself, then raised his little arms over his head and placed them on the bedside shelf.
He was afraid that he would fall asleep and press his arm against the child.
…… Well, quite often.
It is not uncommon for mothers among animals to crush their children to death while sleeping.
Although the family now has the Nine-Tails so it won't be like that, Kakashi doesn't dare to imagine Naruto's resurgence.
Anyway, Kakashi fell asleep in a position like he was sacrificing something.
-
Evening, night, weeping, morning.
Kakashi woke up once on his own - because he wanted to go to the bathroom, and Naruto seemed to let go of his hand as he fell asleep, and naturally turned to the Muppet's side, not grabbing Kakashi anymore.
The other three times he was woken up by Naruto, who wanted to go to the bathroom as well.
As a child, it was nice to be able to endure it longer than he could without wetting the bed, and Kakashi tried to praise him, but was despised by Naruto's 'you have a bag in your head' look on his face when he hadn't fully woken up.
Naruto woke up again in the wee hours of the morning and asked Kakashi to take him to the bathroom - but this time it was more polite than at night, but Kakashi didn't continue to talk more, and Naruto didn't scold him anything, and after washing his hands, he went back to sleep.
Naruto in the morning didn't feel much sleepy after waking up, because he was on his way back to his room after going to the toilet - hungry.
Children with small stomachs are easy to get full, but they can also get hungry easily.
Naruto hugged Kakashi's leg next to him and wouldn't let him go back to the room, pulling at his trouser leg and saying that he was hungry and wanted to have breakfast.
His eyes blinked and blinked cutely, making Kakashi think he was hallucinating.
Kakashi, who was sleep-deprived, rubbed his eyes in a daze, and then looked at the child's pretended expression before realizing that Naruto had only become awake at this time - he excitedly lifted the child up and lifted it high, and only calmed down after being kicked in the head by Ichio, and silently went to the kitchen to wash his hands and prepare breakfast.
After the meal, Kakashi released two shadow clones, one training the dog and the other staying at home to wash dishes and take care of the children on the grounds that the main body had to do a task, while Kakashi, who was the main body, suddenly changed the direction from the Hokage's office building to the Konoha Hospital after leaving the house two blocks away, intending to go see the poor colleague first.
…… Arriving late for a while should be fine.
Kakashi convinced himself in his heart.
Because it's not that you don't skip work, it's just that before you do, you have to go and see your companions who have been hurt by 'yourself'.
Kakashi, who trained the dog, was sullen and didn't know what he was thinking when he went out, and Kakashi, who stayed at home, also smiled at Naruto a little politely and formulaically after washing the dishes, and asked Naruto gently but not particularly enthusiastically if he wanted to go out today or if he wanted to continue practicing.
Naruto chose both, wanting to study for a while and then go to Hinata's house to practice martial arts, Kakashi thought about it for a long time, and after helping Naruto practice for half an hour, he nodded and promised to take him there later.

'Knock knock'
“…… Come in. ”
After three knocks on the door, the colleagues in the ward, who were wearing bandages on their heads, necks, arms, waist, and legs, moved their eyes to the door looking out of the window, waiting for someone outside to open the door.
The door opened slightly, and he saw the uniform ninja shoes at the bottom.
Further up, there are ordinary leggings.
When he saw the green waistcoat, the door was almost 60 degrees open with the wall as the flat bottom, and when it became 120 degrees, he also saw Kakashina's different outfit from yesterday.
Although it was different, he still frowned unconsciously, and subconsciously became vigilant - but soon he realized that his reaction was a little too disrespectful to his 'seniors', so he forced himself to relax.
I wanted to laugh, but I found that I couldn't laugh even if I was polite.
——“…… What do you want to do when you come here now? ”
His overly complicated emotions made his facial expression paralyzed.
Appears cold and detached.
