"I'm sorry to bother you so late."

One day in the forty years of Konoha, Bo Feng Shuimen, who had already made a name for himself in Konoha, came to the home of Qimu Shuomao, who had already become famous.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is also here, I'm really sorry to disturb you."

Bo Feng Shuimen saw the beauty who was about thirty years old and in her prime next to Qimu Shuomao, and apologized repeatedly.

Although Kakashi Hachiki never mentioned his mother to anyone in the days to come, the older generation of ninjas who fought alongside Sakushige Hachiki knew exactly what the woman with the long ponytail in front of him once had.

The daughter of the daimyo of the Land of Wind, a princess in the truest sense of the word.

Perhaps it is precisely because he can marry a woman with such a noble status that Qimu Shuomao, a hard-working Konoha White Fang, has always been very subtle in Konoha Village, at least in the eyes of Konoha high-level officials.

"Eh, is it Mr. Mizumon, don't say anything about Her Royal Highness the Princess, it's all some old things," Kakashi's mother said, "I just made a new dish, if Mr. Mizuto doesn't dislike it, why don't you sit down and accommodate it?" ”

"Aha, no, thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess, but I've already eaten," Bo Feng Shuimen smiled a little awkwardly, "Actually, this rash visit has an important matter, and I want to discuss it with Shuo Mao's seniors." ”

Watergate did not drag mud and water, and directly stated his purpose.

Qimu Shuomao's eyes were calm, and a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes stared at the young man in front of him.

If he changed to someone else, he came to disturb him when he was about to have dinner, and Qimu Shuomao would definitely not give him a good look, even if it was the three shinobi who were in full swing, in his eyes, they were only three juniors who were defeated under Sanshoyu Hanzo, but their strength was quite good.

After all, Hachiki Shuomao is ten years older than Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Senju Tsunade, and when he became the guardian of Konoha Village by Konoha White Fang, Sarutobi Hizashi was still leading his three disciples on tasks.

To put it mildly, looking at today's Konoha and the only people who can make Shuo Mao jealous are the three generations of Hokage apes flying to the sun.

However, if you only refer to the person who can convince him, the entire Konoha is only a young man in his early twenties.

It's not that Shuo Mao thinks that Watergate's strength is stronger than him, but he knows that in Konoha Village, the only person who can maintain a pure heart to protect his fellow Konoha compatriots without hesitation, and a sense of justice who will never go along with others, is only the young man in front of him.

That's why he's happy to have Watergate as Kakashi's instructor.

"Sit." Qimu Shuomao stared at Bo Feng Shui Gate for a moment and said.

"Thank you, Senpai Shuomao."

Bo Fengshuimen's handsome face is always vibrant.

He never forgets to maintain a rare humility when dealing with people, and the fearless confidence hidden behind this humility makes this young ninja with blonde hair exude a mysterious charm.

"Yay? Mr. Watergate, why are you here? ”

As soon as Kakashi, who had just washed his hands, walked out of the kitchen, he saw his teacher, dressed in a standard dark dress, kneeling on the side of the dining table.

"Good evening, Kakashi, I just have something to tell you." Bo Feng Shui Men showed a soft smile.

Hearing this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "It seems that the matter you want to discuss with me has a lot to do with Kakashi. ”

"Hmm." Watergate does not shy away from admitting.

"Something to do with me?" Kakashi asked, "Is there any mission?" ”

"It's really the son of Shuo Mao's predecessors, and his thinking skills are very good," Mizumon smiled, "There is indeed an important task for you to perform. ”

"Well...... Even if it weren't my father's son, my thinking skills wouldn't be much worse......" Kakasimon's face under the black veil seemed a little speechless.

Kakashi's mother couldn't help but laugh, pretending to be angry and said, "This kid, how did you talk, your father is going to be angry." ”

Hachiki Shuomao's face did not change, and he was accustomed to Kakashi's complaints.

Stinky boy, the rebellious period is coming.

Still, Dad forgive you......

Hagi Shuomao didn't pay attention to Kakashi, but looked at the water gate and asked, "What is the task, as Kakashi's instructor, you can just give him a direct order, why did you come to report to me?" ”

Watergate smiled and didn't speak.

When Kakashi's mother saw this, she happily talked to the mud and said, "You are still not happy when people report to you, really." Mizumon-sensei, tell me, what are the tasks that Kakashi needs to do? ”

"Ah, that's right."

Bo Fengshui said the words that he had prepared early in the morning: "Recently, for some reason, a lot of things have happened, and correspondingly, there are many tasks that we need to perform. It just so happened that the third generation Hokage-sama had just given me a mission, which was an A-level mission that required a team to be dispatched and led by me. However, as mentioned earlier, there is a serious shortage of soldiers in the village now, and there are only a few Nakaya shinobi in the village as the backbone, and the three generations of Hokage-sama have only allocated me two team members, and there is still a vacant place. ”

"Come to think of it, I think Kakashi might be able to come over and take a replacement."

Bo Feng Shuimen said these words that didn't seem to be anything special.

After hearing this, the Qimu couple frowned.

Kakashi's mother immediately asked, "A-class mission?" Is it dangerous? Is Kakashi really a good place to go? ”

Qimu Shuomao asked bluntly: "What is the specific content?" ”

The words of the two rang out at the same time.

After many years of marriage, the tacit understanding between Shuo Mao and his wife is still not a good fit, and the points that Kakashi's mother cares about are obviously different from those that Hachiki Shuo Mao cares about.

Bo Feng Shuimen smiled slightly, and first answered Kakashi's mother's question: "According to the current intelligence, although it is an A-level mission, it is not very dangerous, after all, the division of labor among the members of a squad is different, some people rush to the front, and some people are working in logistics, this mission, I plan to arrange a peripheral reconnaissance job for Kakashi." ”

"As for the specific mission...... Bo Feng Shuimen glanced at Hachiki Shuo Shige, and then said, "Recently, the legendary Loulan Country suddenly appeared in the Land of Winds, and the ninja villages of other countries have also visited Loulan, and we Konoha will also visit - but for some reason, this visit is only a secret investigation, not a political visit, and the specific work is up to me, Kakashi only needs to record on the periphery of Loulan, in addition to Konoha, what other forces have visited Loulan." ”

"There is no need to intercept, there is no need to fight, just simply record the other forces that have arrived in Loulan, as long as you are cautious, there will be no danger, after all, it is not a big deal, I believe that with Kakashi's ability, there will be no mistakes."

After listening to Mizuki's explanation, Hachiki Shuomao's frowning brows did not relax.

Kakashi Hagi, the party on the side, pouted his lips and said to Bo Feng Shuimen, "Is it that simple?" Mizuki-sensei, why should I carry out this task......"

"Shut up!" Shuo Mao interrupted Kakashi's retort harshly.

"You eat first." Shuo Mao said to his wife.

Then, Qimu Shuomao looked back at Bo Feng Shuimen, still with eyes as sharp as eagles.

"Let's go out and talk."

"Okay."

The wave wind and water gate that came from the night returned to the night again.

Kakashi looked suspiciously at his father's heavy back, which was tall and powerful, but it was also twilight.

No one knows, that night, what did Hakaki Sakumo say to Hachiki Saumo, in the next two years, Kakashi Hachiki asked his Mizuto teacher from time to time about this night, but Hakami Shuimon was always perfunctory and didn't give Kakashi a chance, until one morning in the forty-second year of Konoha, his father Hachiki Sakumo took Kakashi to worship his mother who died of illness at the beginning of forty-two, and said some warm words to him.

That year, Kakashi Hachiki was already twelve years old and was promoted to Kamishinobi, and Hachiki Sakushige also experienced some things that caused criticism, in those days, Kakashi was in a very bad mood, he still couldn't believe the fact that his mother was sick and died, he couldn't understand some of his father's practices, and even thought that his father was wrong. So, that morning, Kakashi's left ear went in and out of his right ear for his father's comforting words, and the handsome little face hidden under the black scarf was always so stiff and cold.

That day, Sakumo Hachiki smiled and told Kakashi to eat well, pay attention to rest, cherish his friends, not always have a cold face, and don't face the world with such a hard attitude.

Sakumo Hachiki finally said to Kakashi, "The world is always complicated, and even sometimes, it can be called cruel, but ah, Kakashi, promise me that you will never compromise with this world, never become as cruel as this world, okay?" ”

Sakumo Hachiki gently stroked Kakashi's head and said things that made Kakashi impatient.

I remember that day, Kakashi shook off his father's hand, showed no mercy, had a cold attitude, didn't say a word, and left with arrogant silver hair.

Hachiki Sakumo looked at Kakashi, who had used the teleportation technique to fly away, and stroked the tombstones of the dead little princess of the Land of Wind and his wife, and said funny, "Look, our son is still in the period of rebellion. ”

Qimu Shuomao reluctantly leaned on his wife's tombstone, and muttered, "But, we always have to forgive him, don't we." ”

On the day of the forty-second year of the wood industry, the sun burned so that the morning turned into noon.

Without saying a word, Kakashi returned to his home.

Kakashi, who was too stingy to say "I'm back", walked into the room with a glazed gaze.

Bright sunlight shines through the cracks between the doors and windows, dappling the room.

In the small space where light and shadow intertwined, Kakashi Hagi, who was disgruntled, raised his head.

A weak corpse was suspended in mid-air by an ordinary thick rope.

Kakashi's eyes suddenly blurred.

An irrepressible pain poured out of the beating heart.

Endless pain and hatred surrounded, devoured, and drowned a twelve-year-old boy.

- The world is always complicated, and even sometimes cruel, but ah, Kakashi, promise me never to compromise with this world, never to become as cruel as this world, okay?

Sakushige Hachiki once said such courageous words.

After experiencing the death of his wife, the betrayal of his companions, and the heart-wrenching life of being criticized and verbally abused by all the Konoha villagers he had fought for and protected, one day in the forty-second year of Konoha , Qimu Shuomao calmly threw out an ordinary thick rope and completed his wonderful and desperate life with a decisive attitude.

And in the middle of May of the fortieth year of Konoha, ten-year-old Kakashi, after a secret conversation with his father in Bo Feng Shuimen, talked with his father for a while, and finally decided to take on the simple A-class task of going to Loulan to collect information on other forces.

"Lin, I can't go to the barbecue with you today, you can have fun with that guy with Obito."

The next morning, Nohara Rin received a message from Kakashi.

Kakashi, on the other hand, followed the wave of wind and water to the great desert of the Land of Wind.

"The sun is so poisonous."

Kakashi let out that emotion and stepped into a majestic city standing in the desert.

At the age of ten, he didn't know what kind of bleak life his future self would usher in.
