Chapter 44: Back to the Mountain
"It seems that Mr. Yasaka's shadow still has some of his previous instincts."
Kakashi watched in amazement.
The raccoon thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I'm afraid this matter is not completely over yet. ”
"Oh? How so? ”
"I've heard of the Shadow Crocodile, too. He will extract the life of humanity through the shadows and devour it. This is also the reason why humans die after being swallowed by its shadows. ”
"I understand that, but what does it matter?"
"Naturally, there is a relationship. As soon as Mr. Yasaka's shadow was devoured, the Shadow Crocodile was killed. So this shadow is not digested. In addition, he has been absorbing demon power over the years, so he actually has a chance to be resurrected. ”
"Resurrection? Can this kind of thing really be done? Kakashi amazed.
"Of course, but due to the lack of a physical body, even if Mr. Yasaka is resurrected, he can only be in the form of a youkai."
"That's not bad either. At least there would be no obstacle between him and Miya. Kaka laughed.
"There's nothing wrong with that, but there's a problem."
"What's the trouble?"
"If this shadow wants to become a monster, it needs more demonic power. In other words, he will continue to absorb the demonic power from you. In this way, I am afraid that your demonic power will not be so easy to recover. Tanuki laughed.
"It's just a minor issue. Now there is a chance to resurrect Mr. Yasaka. These little troubles can also be bearable. ”
"If you don't care, then I don't care."
"But a lot of things are going to be put on hold for the time being." Kakashi sighed helplessly, he didn't expect to raise a painting and raise things.
But the result is pretty good.
I've been with Mimi for a while, and we're friends.
Although I have encountered a little trouble now, it is not unacceptable to be able to have a good result.
And after coming to this world, Kakashi hasn't been in trouble for a long time.
He really misses that feeling.
"Kakashi-sensei, I've come to see you with Multitrack." ’
Outside the door, Natsume's voice suddenly came.
"Natsume? Coming to me so early in the morning, could there be something? ”
Kakashi said in his heart, but he went over and opened the door anyway.
Natsume and Multitrack and the little chubby cat are at the door.
"Kakashi-sensei, good morning."
"Huh? Natsume, where is Mr. Hagi? Multitrack looked at the empty courtyard in front of him with a bewildered expression, as if there was nothing but a black cat.
Natsume was stunned, and Kakashi was also stunned.
Well, I didn't expect the side effects to come out so quickly.
It's embarrassing.
"Multitrack, what are you talking about? Isn't Kakashi-sensei right in front of you? Natsume pointed at Kakashi and said with a puzzled expression.
The cat teacher narrowed his eyes, as if he had found something.
Multi-Track was still confused, she couldn't see Kakashi at all.
"No, Natsume. Don't scare me. ”
"What's going on?" Natsume exclaimed, then looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi sighed and said, "I didn't expect the side effects to come out so quickly. Natsume, wait a minute. ”
Kakashi said, picking up the bamboo pole on the side and drawing a formation on the ground.
Multitrack saw a strange scene.
A bamboo pole is actually drawing a formation by itself.
And she was very familiar with that formation.
That's the formation that can make the monster manifest.
"This ......."
Multitrack was surprised, but still didn't understand what was happening.
Kakashi's movements were fast, and it didn't take long for him to complete the formation.
Immediately stepped in, and Multitrack saw Kakashi in the formation.
"Mr. Hagi? What's going on? ”
Natsume also looked worried.
In this situation, it's like meeting Kakashi in the first place.
But wasn't this problem solved before? How could it be like this again.
"Kakashi-sensei, what the hell is going on?"
"It's a long story, and to put it simply, I'm in trouble." Kakashi said helplessly.
"Is it dangerous?" Natsume said in a hurry.
"It's not dangerous, it's just a little troublesome. I might have to be away for a while. ”
"Leave? Where to go? ”
"Forest of the mountain gods. I need to go there and solve the problem of the day. ”
"Is it going to take a long time?"
"Well, it won't be long, about a month."
Natsume breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Teacher Cat looked at Kakashi and said in a low voice, "Looking at your appearance, it seems that most of the demonic power has been absorbed, what kind of monster can make you look like this." ”
"What? Is it so serious? ”
Natsume looked at Kakashi worriedly when he heard this.
Kakashi laughed, "It's not that exaggerated. It's just a bit of a hassle. ”
"Kakashi-sensei, please tell me the truth, or I'll be even more worried."
Duo Track also said with some concern: "Yes, Qimu-sensei, if there is something we can help, I think we can help you." ”
Seeing that the two of them cared about him so much, Kakashi was a little moved in his heart.
There are still a lot of kind people in this world.
"Don't worry, it's just a minor issue. Natsume, you should know that when I first met you, you were the same as you are now. It's much better than it was then. ”
Seeing Kakashi's confident look, Natsume didn't want to ask anything more.
"It's just that I can't go to school anymore for the time being. Tomorrow I will let the raccoon chase become my appearance and go to school to ask for leave. Fortunately, the classes for this semester have ended, and it won't have much impact. ”
"Huh? Didn't you ask me to give you a lesson? Tanuki wondered.
"Because I suddenly thought of a question, that is, will you take Chinese class?"
"This ......"
Tanuki stopped talking.
Well, he really won't be on yet.
Teacher Cat looked at the huge cherry blossom tree and seemed to understand something.
……
On the way back.
Natsume was still worried.
"Stupid Natsume, don't worry about that Kakashi guy. He is very powerful, even if he temporarily loses most of his demon power, it is enough to protect himself. ”
"But...... If you encounter something like this, there will always be some trouble. Kakashi-sensei has helped me every time, and I want to have a place where Kakashi-sensei can help. ”
"Stupid, that guy is amazingly strong, he doesn't need help at all."
Teacher Cat said, wagging her short tail and walking forward.
"But ......"
Natsume wanted to speak and stopped, blaming himself a little in his heart.
If I could be useful, maybe it wouldn't be like this.
"What a fool, if you really want to help Kakashi, I have a solution, but if it will work or not, I don't know."
Natsume was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Really? Is there a way? ”
"Hmm. Kakashi's demonic power dissipated because of external forces. I know I have a demon grass that can help restore demonic power. ”
"Demon Spirit Grass? Where is it? ”
"I don't know."
Natsume: "......"
"Teacher Cat! Now is not the time to joke! ”
"I'm not kidding. Legend has it that the place where this demon spirit grass grows is uncertain, it may be in a lake or a mountain. Teacher Cat said.
"Really? What does that look like? Natsume curious.
"I don't know."
“……”
Clang!
Natsume slammed his iron fist on the top of the cat teacher's head.
"Ahh A sucker! What are you doing! ”
"Teacher Cat, you don't know what it looks like, how can I find it?"
"Stupid! C has a lot of research on this, you can ask her! ”
Natsume was stunned.
"yes, and C, I'll ask her."
Natsume hurriedly quickened his pace and trotted all the way.
The dense teacher who was left behind watched Natsume leave, rubbed his head, and said, "Stupid Natsume." ”
Qimu family.
Kakashi looked at the courtyard in front of him and said to Gen and Tsui, "Gen, Tsui, you two take good care of the house when I'm away. Don't let the raccoon chase that kid and tear down the house. ”
"Don't worry, Kakashi-sama, we'll take notice."
"That's good."
"Hey, Kakashi, what do you mean? I'm not a husky. ”
"Well, although it's not, it's not one or two things you're destroying. You broke the bowl the other day. ”
"That'...... It was an accident. ”
"Whether it's an accident or not, give me some leisure."
"Alright, alright, I got it."
Miya on the side walked over and said, "Kakashi-sama, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble because of me. ”
"It's okay, we're friends. And it was just a small thing, and I was back soon. Maybe when I return, your Mr. Yasaka will be completely resurrected. Kakashi laughed.
"Thank you, Kakashi-sama, I've taken it to heart."
Miya said, bowing deeply towards Kakashi.
"Well, that's the thing. See you in a month. ”
After Kakashi finished speaking, he disappeared in an instant.
Forest of the mountain gods.
At this time, it is already summer, and the summer vacation is also coming.
Ah Yin stood alone on the top of the mountain, as if waiting for someone.
"Ah Yin, you're waiting for Sister Hotaru again."
The little fox sprang out from the side and asked curiously.
Ah Yin smiled and nodded.
"I really envy the relationship between Ah Yin and Sister Hotaru."
The little fox said with a look of envy.
"Little fox, one day, you will also find someone you cherish."
"I also have people who I cherish. Brother Kakashi and Natsume are both people I hold dear. But I haven't seen them in a long time. I miss them so much. The little fox muttered.
"That's right. It seems like it's been a long time since I've been back from Kakashi's last time. I don't know how he's doing in the human world. ”
"Brother Kakashi is so powerful, he must be doing well." The little fox said.
"That's right."
"Ah Yin, when you were with Sister Hotaru, did you think about anything?"
"What do you think?"
"I don't know, but I've heard people say that if a couple is together, they should do something."
Ah Yin's face turned red when he heard this, and he said in a low voice: "Little fox, don't talk nonsense, Hotaru and I are not a couple." ”
"Huh? Isn't it? ”
The little fox tilted his head, revealing a puzzled look.
"Of course not, there are some things you don't understand yet. Hotaru and I ......"
Ah Yin wanted to speak and stopped, and there seemed to be something hidden in his heart.
"Little fox, Ah Yin means, they haven't reached that step yet, and the window paper between the two hasn't been pierced yet."
Familiar voices sounded behind the two of them.
The little fox looked happy, and turned his head to see the figure he missed.
"Brother Kakashi! It's really you! You're back! ”
The little fox said, rushing towards Kakashi and throwing herself into his arms.
Kakashi took the opportunity to hug the little fox.
"Haha, little fox, you've grown up and weighed a lot." Kakashi laughed.
"Eun, I'm getting stronger. One day, I'll be as good as my mom. ”
"I'm sure you can."
"Kakashi, why did you come back? Done what you want to do? Ah Yin wondered.
"That's not true, it's just that something went wrong, and I've changed to the same way I was again, so I need to come back and practice again for a while."
"What happened?"
"It's a long story, but I can't control my body anymore." Kakashi said helplessly.
"Brother Kakashi, are you alright?" The little fox worried.
"Don't worry, it's fine. I'm here to rebuild it, but it's just a good time to see you. What about Yamagami-sama? ”
"Grandpa Mountain God is in the shrine, I heard Grandpa Mountain God talk to you a few days ago.
"Really? Lord Yamagami really has a heart. Let's go see him. ”
"Hmm!"
Kakashi put the little fox on his shoulder and set out to go to the mountain god.
Ah Yin said, "You guys go first, I still want to wait here." ”
"School hasn't been closed yet, so it's useless for you to wait here now."
"It's okay, I like to be here." Ah Yin said with a smile.
"You guy, well, be as happy as you like. Little fox, let's ignore that guy Ah Yin, let's go find Grandpa Mountain God, okay? ”
"Good!"
"Let's go!"
A man and a fox happily ran towards the shrine.
Ah Yin watched them leave, smiled and shook his head.
When these two guys get together, they always seem to have fun.
"Grandpa Mountain God! Look who's back! ”
Before the little fox reached the shrine, he began to call.
"Little fox, who is back to make you so excited."
The mountain god walked out of the shrine as he spoke, and was stunned when he saw Kakashi.
"Kakashi? It turns out that you are back, no wonder the little fox is so excited. ”
The mountain god said, and his wrinkled face was full of smiles.
"Lord Sanjin, I'm really sorry that I didn't come back to see you after walking for almost a year."
"Hehe, it's okay, this little bit of time is just a white horse for me."
Kakashi was stunned, yes, for youkai, time is the most meaningless thing.
"You're welcome back, Kakashi."
"Thank you, Lord Sanjin."
This is the place where Kakashi has lived for the longest since he came to this world.
It also made Kakashi feel the warmth of home.
The mountain god is like a kind grandfather.
And Ah Yin is like his younger brother.
Kakashi sometimes wondered if he had a younger brother, would he be like Agin?
Of course, this is just a thought.
Forest of the mountain gods.
Kakashi is back.
This place is familiar to him.
So, it was as if everything was back to the beginning.
Every day, Kakashi would go to the demon pool to reunite his demonic power.
It's something that has been done once, so Kakashi is very skilled.
And a few days later, there was another familiar guest on the mountain.
That's the guy Ah Yin has been waiting for a year.
is also the person who worries Ah Yin the most.
