The people at the inn were surprised that they had emptied a pool of water, but without asking anything in detail, they reintroduced the water to their room and left.

Jiraiya still has the marks on his body that have been stepped on, but there are also two basins of water here, and he plans to wash his own body after washing the child's clothes.

However, when I think of what the child said, I may have washed clothes related to animals in water, so I don't want to wash them here.

It's all to blame on that little ghost! Saying things that didn't make sense made him care about these things.

In the end, I decided to wash it again with two basins of water.

One bucket is used for careful scrubbing, and one bucket is used for washing and wringing out.

The two sets of clothes are not much, and the ones on my body are not heavy, so even if it takes more time to re-fetch water, it doesn't take long.

ㅤ

Until bedtime after dinner, Kakashi didn't understand why Jiraiya-sensei would wash Naruto's clothes.

This kind of thing should be done by yourself.

ㅤ

"Hey!"

After Naruto turned off the light and lay down on the quilt, Naruto expertly rolled from the futon next to him to his quilt, lifted Kakashi's small quilt and arched into his arms.

Kakashi will be more relaxed when he sleeps on his side, because if he lies flat, the child will press directly on him like a cat, making it impossible for him to breathe properly.

Many cat owners will have it, feeling chest tightness and uncomfortable and struggling to open their eyes, only to find that their own cat group is on the other side of the heart, and it is not easy to wake them up.

And there are many cases where you don't wake up like this, and most of them are because the cat is out of food, so they come and step on people to get up.

The smarter ones will even prepare food for themselves, but the mess left behind will make people clean up and prefer to be woken up.

Kakashi suspected that the child was learning to raise a cat by himself because he hadn't had a cat before, because the one he knew before was just very fond of hugging, and he didn't have this bad habit of having to press people.

- Only one small mammal can be in the house, unless it is a human cub with multiple births.

The previous Naruto was really young, and he couldn't take care of himself well, so how could he take care of the cat?

And I don't want to accept the new cat so quickly, even if more than ten years have passed, but the successive deaths of family members can't be let go even if it takes fifty or a hundred years, unless Alzheimer's forgets the sad existence.

But alas, he remembers it clearly.

…… Is this a good thing?

Naruto has changed, although not by much, but in his opinion it has changed for the better.

Although it is more clingy and physically and mentally exhausting, he thinks it is a very good development.

It's not like before, it's so close, but it feels like you're being turned away.

"I must be very tired today, so let's just go to sleep...... Good night. ”

Kakashi patted him on the back while holding the child, rubbing the hair on the back of his head and whispered.

"Okay, but before that you have to tell me a story, I want to listen to you when you were a child, and I don't listen to you after twelve!"

Naruto blinked at him.

"This ......"

Kakashi felt embarrassed every time he was mentioned as a teenager, and even now he was just a teenager.

"Don't you want to talk about it?"

The kid pouts.

Kakashi heard a sense of danger in it.

"Also...... No, it's nothing special, it's not interesting, and it's been too long to be well described. ”

He raised his hand and grabbed the corner of the quilt behind Naruto's body and tucked it into the back of the child's neck.

"Listen, tell me."

The child grabbed the clothes in his arms and tugged at them.

"Let's start when I'm conscious...... I seemed to be only one year old at the time? I wouldn't have been impressed earlier. ”

Kakashi struggled to think back to his distant past.

To be honest, he didn't have much of an impression before he went to school when he was more than three years old, and that was something he couldn't remember when he was five, six or seven years old.

After all, nothing special had happened before that, and even if there were, I didn't know what it was because I was too young.

In short, he has been living without a mother since he realized it.

His father was a very good man, so he didn't feel miserable and lonely because he lost his mother.

Because his father is with him.

Although he was a little rebellious, he was a little glad that his mother left when he had no memory - because even if he recalled, he couldn't recall anything, so he was not sad.

All he remembered was the warmth of his little self being held in his arms.

"Well, that's it."

Naruto lay down on the bed and took a sitting position, his hands on his knees and began to listen earnestly.

"When I was younger, there were very few times when I only drank water, my father would always buy a lot of milk powder and add water to make my drink, I didn't drink milk at that time, so my father could only buy milk powder...... I don't know how long it took me to switch to cow's milk, because it was too immature to drink milk powder......"

Kakashi scratched his head embarrassedly, "I didn't have any basis for it, but at the time, I also thought that drinking milk would make it easier to grow taller, but I'm shorter than Obito...... But it's normal for them to be older than me, so it's normal to be taller than me, Asma, they're also older, and when I was a child, I always felt that I was a head shorter, and they were very unhappy, but I can't say it, right? But it's good that I didn't talk about my height, otherwise I would probably have a fight with the person who said it, although I was always saying something nasty when I wasn't fighting. ”

Kakashi was caught up in memories that he couldn't even remember.

I can't remember exactly, but my brain will do a good job of helping my brain make it up.

"It feels like your personality as a kid is easy to be beaten."

Naruto kicked the quilt a little higher and turned around, leaning back in his arms and complaining before looking up and listening.

"Well, they can't beat me, though."

Kakashi smiled unconsciously at the corners of his mouth as he said this.

Among his peers when he was a child, he was the most powerful!

After that, it's the water, and then it's the ferret.

Even now, he is better than many of his peers, because he was a middle ninja at the age of five, a top ninja at the age of twelve, and Asma only became a middle ninja at the age of twelve!

Red didn't become a shinobi until he was twenty-seven years old, and Itachi didn't become a shinobi until he was ten years old.

It's better than yourself.

But...... No matter how strong he was, it was useless, he didn't protect the companion he wanted to protect, and he suffered a mental blow......

During that time, his feelings didn't fluctuate much because of the pain, and even Kai didn't talk to him as much as usual, and he didn't feel too sad at the teacher's funeral.

But he was really sad, but that was something that he didn't find out until later.

Now that I think about it, he is indifferent to indifference, and after the age of twelve, it is already rare that he is not irritable and quarrels because he feels annoying...... Obviously, he used to be the kind of person who was very willing to care about meaningless things and quarrel with people.

ㅤ

Life after the age of twelve or fourteen to the time before leading the seventh class is really nothing special, and the children have seen the things after the class many times, and compared to those, Naruto is more willing to listen to these things that I don't know if they are true or not.

This Kakashi is different, so what he experienced as a child may not be what the original Kakashi experienced, and even if it is true, it is not the story of that paper man.

But so what?

It's just a story of the past.

"And what if they beat you up?"

The child asked, "What if a whole village of people who are no more than three years older than you beat you?" ”

… Ahem, it's enough to satisfy your curiosity.

“…… Then I'll probably go to the intensive care unit. ”

Kakashi's eyelids jumped several times.

What a feud that must be!

I'm not with soil or spots!

But if the two of them are crazy, the whole village may not be able to beat them.

Even though he had experienced the Fourth Shinobi War, where only one person and one animal had died in the face of those two guys joining forces, he still felt that it was useless for the whole village to go together.

Not to mention only one Konoha, it's useless for the people of the five major ninja villages to go together.

But he didn't have the opportunity, and he didn't want to have the opportunity to verify.
