"Do you want to go out for a walk? It feels nice to be blown by the wind tonight. ”

After putting the information back in his place, Sakumo suggested to Kakashi.

“…… Well, okay, father. Speaking of which, Brother Yu also gave me some pocket money just now...... Is the fruit shop still open? I want to buy some oranges......"

Oranges can be stored for a longer period of time, and apples and the like can be stored for a longer time without washing or cutting, but those are not as convenient as oranges and bananas.

"Some stores are open, I'll take you there."

He rubbed his hair and said with a smile.

[Then buy some sugar.] ]

Kakashi nodded, casually put on his coat and followed his father out.

Yu also likes to eat sugar, and he has a lot of them at home, but he didn't bring those with him. It's more convenient to buy it directly.

Brother Yu gave himself pocket money so it was just an excuse to go buy some fruit, and although he accepted it, he didn't plan to spend it.

The main reason is to borrow the reason to buy fruit to whisper to my father.

-

To be able to walk leisurely through the streets of Konoha at night like this during the war was a real luxury in Kakashi's opinion.

…… Although he had made up his mind for a long time, it was only after seeing Obito become like that in order to protect them that he realized that his consciousness was really not as high as he imagined.

In this world of war, ninjas are meant to be constantly accompanied by death.

He's dealt with the enemy as well, but that's different.

Enemies and companions are not the same.

Even if the enemy has their own companions, because they are enemies, it is normal to have an opposing attitude of either you die or I die.

He was not ready to accept the reality that his companions would die as easily as his enemies.

“…… Kakashi. ”

Shuo Mao took his son's hand.

Kakashi didn't break away, even though he didn't feel like he was a kid anymore, although it would feel a little embarrassing to walk hand in hand with his parents at this age.

“…… Father. ”

Kakashi shook his hand back, too.

"Hokage-sama's side already has arrangements for Yu."

After making sure that there was no one around, Sakumo said softly in a voice that could only be heard by Kakashi beside him.

"Yes...... Does it have anything to do with the Uchiha......"

Kakashi thought of the Uchiha boy he had seen earlier.

“…… It doesn't matter much. ”

Shuo Mao sighed, "It's just related to Shisui who is an Uchiha, and by the way, Hokage-sama has already told that kid about Yu's identity." ”

He tried his best to answer Kakashi's questions in words that were okay to say.

“……”

Kakashi suddenly thought of a very terrifying possibility.

- "Father, Father......"

Kakashi swallowed and tugged at Sakumo's sleeve with his other hand.

"Huh?"

Shuo Mao looked down at the side of his arm.

"Yu should not ...... Shouldn't you be dating that person?? ”

Kakashi seemed to have just left the theater after a horror movie, and he was shocked and confused to discuss the 'story' that made him feel terrible.

“……”

Shuo Mao didn't know how to explain to Kakashi for a moment.

…… He was definitely led astray by the two children of Yuhe Obito.

- "Ka, Kakashi, how did you come up with this?" ”

Shuo Mao said helplessly, "We are talking about work...... And his next work happens to be related to Yu, and this task has also been entrusted to me, maybe tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...... He just came to ask about the situation today, and wanted to know more about the current situation. ”

He tried to get his daughter ...... Ahem, the son's face found a hint of uneasiness that Yu would be snatched away, but, no.

Kakashi's expression was clearly a feeling of 'someone would want to marry Hiro', and he thought it was incredible.

…… Also, how can you cultivate such feelings when you get along like this?

Shuo Mao was really helpless.

But he did expect that to happen.

“…… I'm sorry, father, but I really can't think of any more possibilities. ”

Kakashi desperately wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into.

"It's okay, probably because Zhishui is too young."

Shuo Mao looked at the sky.

There are shallow 'white clouds' and sparse stars, and the light of the semi-circular moon has always been the focus of the night sky, and it soon shifts the attraction of people from the starry white clouds to oneself.

- "That kid is very strong, although he is not yet a shinobi, but this mission also assigned him to participate in the war, but it is just to support another direction...... It's a long way from your mission. ”

Kakashi listened intently.

(I'll make it up myself.) ）

- "But the people in his class also seem to have problems, and he is the only one who basically came back alive, and even their leader Shinobi ......"

“！？”

Kakashi was shocked.

He immediately remembered the previous meeting with Zhishui in the hallway—Zhishui was smiling, as if he didn't have any troubles.

——“…… I know you may find it disagreeable, but it is, and he came back a little later than we did, as if he had only come back in the afternoon. ”

- "He had a good relationship with everyone, so in the critical moment, those people chose to protect him - paved the way for him to victory, and finally allowed him to survive...... Maybe it's because he's still very young, or maybe it's because he's a genius from the Uchiha clan, and everyone thinks that he's the most valuable person to survive than to protect himself, so ......"

Kakashi remained stunned.

——“…… It is precisely because of this that his writing wheel eye has undergone further changes on the basis of Magatama...... I don't quite understand it, but that's what he said, and it's just Hokage-sama and the advisors, and me at the moment...... And you know, he didn't tell anyone else. ”

There was too much information, and Kakashi looked at his father in a daze.

Shuo Mao touched his hair again, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, you don't have to think too much, Hokage-sama thinks that his ability will help Yu, so he arranged for him to come over...... Next, we just have to wait for the results while taking care of Yu, and as for the specific task that Hokage-sama gave him, I can't tell you, sorry. ”

“…… Well, I understand, but he ...... But he looks ......"

Kakashi opened his mouth in a tangled struggle.

"It's not like that, right, and I was surprised when I saw his smile...... I thought it would ...... Well. ”

Sakumo almost said "I thought it was going to be like you," but he felt like he was blaming Kakashi for not being able to bear it and not being as good as others.

Kakasima is gone.

Shuo Mao patted him on the shoulder.

- "Do you have anything you'd like to eat?" Let's stop by and buy some too. ”
