"Yu."

Kakashi hadn't fully recovered his senses after seeing the others leave, and shouted Yu in a daze.

"What's wrong?"

Yu tilted his head.

…… The neck hurts a little, but it doesn't hurt too much, and it may help to rejuvenate the stiff body.

"Are you really the princess of the Land of Winds?"

Yu is actually a princess, which is really a very unimaginable thing.

Truth be told, Kakashi can't even believe it's true right now.

“…… Actually, I hope not. ”

Yu shrugged his shoulders slightly.

“…… So why do you want to come here? ”

Kakashi said he didn't understand.

The status is not low, and it will not always encounter danger like a ninja, so why come to such a far place, or run away from home......

“…… Isn't it hard for you to hear the reason from my conversation with that Daimyo......"

Yu pouted.

She didn't really want to explain it again because of the trouble.

"She's told me the reason before, I'll tell you later."

Sakumo walked around and patted Kakashi on the shoulder, then lifted the quilt that covered the container and Yu's hand a little more, and picked it up.

He didn't want to, but he wanted to see how his son's fallen finger was doing.

"Father, are you ...... Did you know that before?? ”

Kakashi heard the old word from Sakumo's mouth and couldn't help but look shocked at him.

“…… Actually, I've known for a long time, maybe six or seven years, sorry, I've been hiding it from you, because I can't just say it...... At that time, the relationship between Konoha and Sand Hidden was very poor, and I was worried that Yu would be in danger, so ...... Fortunately, she has always acted as a boy to the outside world, so she has not been exposed until now......"

Shuo Mao sighed.

——“…… And this time I decided not to hide it anymore because Yu was really dangerous this time, and if she was allowed to stay here, maybe something more dangerous would happen in the future, and she hadn't woken up when she asked Shisui, who was the farthest distance and speed of her instantaneous body, to contact Daimyo...... There's no guarantee that she'll wake up, so Hokage-sama feels that even if her relationship with Sagakure is tense, she should tell Her Excellency the Daimyo of the Land of Wind about Yu, after all, she's their child no matter what. ”

Kakashi was even more shocked than he had just been.

Six or seven years ago?

Did my father know about it so early? So once my father was so partial to Yu because ...... Because you know that she is the princess of the Land of Winds?

To be honest, Kakashi was actually quite dissatisfied with his father's behavior of always being kind to Yu and throwing himself into her pit, thinking that he was his father's biological son, why did his father be so good to that guy!

…… But now Kakashi thinks he can probably understand.

After all, people are entitled to be favored.

However, my father seems to be because of his fingers...... Hmm, the attitude towards Yu is not as good as before?

Kakashi only realizes the fact that he is his own when Sakumo asks him and shows a change in his attitude towards Yu.

Yu was excessive, she had always been excessive, but she had never done anything particularly resentful wrong.

However, she also rushed over to help a few of her people, and even mended the knife.

It's a pity that the enemy is too cunning and actually pretended to be dead...... It's also that I'm too careless, obviously I'm already a ninja, and I'm also the captain who led their team at that time, but I didn't confirm whether the enemy was really dead or fake, and only focused on the companions who were taken away......

He is also responsible for the 'carelessness that kills the team'.

He's the captain, and he's already a ninja, why...... Why is it still so immature?

Yu wasn't wrong at all.

…… I gave this gift to her, perhaps because I wanted to apologize to the 'two' who were hurt under my leadership.

But I can only face the one who survives here.

So, even if there is a more excessive request, maybe I will agree.

- It's just a finger that I don't use often, it's not a big deal.

Kakashi thinks so.

The left eye is the 'experience' that Obito left to him, and the lost little finger is the lesson that Yu gave himself.

…… In the future, it will have to be more rigorous.

Because the ninja world is brutal.
