The night is like a curtain, unconsciously covering the earth, broken stars are reflected with little lights, and there is a peaceful atmosphere between heaven and earth.

Syllable!

The door was pushed open, and Xue Shenyue was dripping with water, looking sluggish, holding her hands and walking in weakly, almost one step at a time, so that everyone in the main hall couldn't help but wonder if this guy would lie on the ground in the next moment.

"I'm back!"

Dazna pushed his glasses and said in surprise, "What's the matter, it's so embarrassing?" ”

"Huh."

Snow God Moon grinned, "I'm desperate to get Kakashi to change his name!" ”

Kakashi twitched and tilted his head.

"By the way, haven't Naruto and Sasuke come back yet?" Xue Shenyue sat down on the edge of the table and raised her chopsticks while saying confusedly.

Sakura said angrily on the side: "Those two guys said they wouldn't come back if they didn't climb to the top of the tree!" I don't think they'll be back tonight. ”

"That's it..."Xue Shenyue nodded, and began to pick up rice, at this time she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, and she couldn't care about her image.

Instead, Kakashi shook his head and smiled, "Those two guys, the cultivation intensity is estimated to be half of yours!" ”

"Half?!" Sakura involuntarily covered her mouth and exclaimed.

In the past two days, she couldn't find where the snow god moon was, so she often stayed with Sasuke Naruto, and naturally knew how desperately those two guys were cultivating, she felt unbearable just by looking at it, not to mention the snow god moon who had doubled in strength, she couldn't imagine how this young man tortured herself...

No wonder he is improving so fast, is there really anyone who can keep up with the rhythm of him?

Xue Shenyue put the last bite of food into his mouth, chewed it casually and swallowed it, and then his whole body went soft, and he lay on the table, today he really squeezed the last trace of chakra before coming back, plus a lot of blood was released at noon, the wound was easy to recover, but the blood was not so easy to replenish, so he was still a little dizzy now.

"Don't push yourself too hard, you're already very good!" Kakashi touched Snow God Tsuki's head and said gently.

Xue Shenyue blocked his hand and pouted, "No, it's still far away!" ”

Inali, who was sitting opposite him, looked at the weak and panting young man in front of him with dull eyes, as if he saw the figure of the man who came down from the river dam that year, the same perseverance, the same never give up...

"Why... Why—" The boy's voice trembled a little, and tears could not stop sliding down.

Snow God Yue raised her head with difficulty, and said inexplicably: "What's wrong?" ”

"Why are you working so hard! No matter how much you cultivate, you won't be able to defeat Cardo's men! The boy clenched his fists and roared in tears: "No matter how hard you try! In the face of the really powerful guys, we are all dead! ”

Everyone looked at each other and was silent.

Sakura looked at Snow God Moon worriedly, but heard the young man say lightly, "What a boring little brat..."

"I hate you when I see you!" Inari burst into tears and roared: "I know nothing about this country and I think I am self-righteous all day long! You've never tasted pain before you don't know me at all! ”

"Inari—" The boy suddenly stood up and leaned on the table.

The boy looked slightly stunned.

I saw the snow god moon looking at him expressionlessly, and said indifferently: "Do you know... I have my own reasons for working so hard, not for the sake of what you think you are helping this country, not to prove anything, I just don't want to find out that I don't have that ability when I need to protect anyone, like..."

He paused, and the last sentence hit the boy hard: "Just like your useless father!" ”

Kakashi frowned, "Kamitsuki, that's too much. ”

Xue Shenyue shook her head and fell back on her stomach: "It's really boring. ”

…

Late at night, the moon is thick.

Kakashi walked outside the house and saw Inari sitting alone at the water's edge, he thought for a moment and walked over, "Can I sit here?" ”

Inari glanced sideways at him and didn't speak.

Kakashi sat down silently and spoke, "Actually, Kamitsuki doesn't have any malicious intentions, don't you care about what he said, he just has a weird attachment to power..."

Inari hugged his knees, his eyes reflecting the flowing water.

"We've all heard about your father, Shenyue, like you, has had no father since he was a child." Kakashi bowed his head and said, "It should be said that he never had parents, and he experienced very cruel things at a very young age... To tell you the truth, if it were compared to the past, he would be much worse than you..."

The little boy raised his head in surprise like a lightning bolt: "Huh? ”

Kakashi's gaze was a little deep: "Six years ago, when I adopted him on the orders of Hokage-sama, you can't imagine what kind of eyes he had at that time, that kind of disregard for life is almost engraved in his bones... I thought that he might have been like that all his life, a tool that only knew how to kill! ”

Inari was completely drawn to Kakashi's words: "And then? ”

"I spend a lot of time teasing him and messing with him, and sometimes I find it funny to see him crazy and troubled, maybe it's fate... And later... He began to become more and more cheerful, laughing, mischievous, gagging... I am especially happy about his change, and I am also very pleased with Hokage-sama, who has high hopes for him. Kakashi's eyes lit up with remembrance.

Inari lowered his head, there used to be a person who was so good to him, but he... It's gone...

"I've often thought that if he can inherit Hokage-sama's will of fire and become the mainstay of guarding this village, it must be something to look forward to! He's so good..."Kakashi paused and said in a deep voice, "However, I gradually discovered that he only hid the darkness in his heart and showed the bright side, which can be seen in the occasional few words. ”

The little boy scratched his head in confusion.

Kakashi didn't care if he understood it or not, but continued to speak, as if he had been holding these words in his heart for a long time: "This child has always struggled on the edge of light and darkness, longing for family affection but being an orphan since childhood, longing for freedom but being bound since childhood... Maybe you'll never be able to imagine how devastating it is to have your life in the hands of another person all the time! ”

Kakashi's eyes showed a look of worry: "So he's so hungry for power, eager to the point of torturing himself at all costs, he does things like stabbing himself thirty-six times a day, I'm really worried about him..."

"If one day, the world lets him down, he... It's going to be devastating! ”

Kakashi slowly got up and walked towards the house, "We don't want to be strong for the sake of power, we want to be strong for the sake of protection!" This is the greatest treasure in my life, Shenyue..."

"I wish someone could wake you up..."

…

The next day, the sun was shining.

Sakura followed Kakashi and Dazna out of the cabin, stretched widely, and suddenly turned her head to look, puzzled, "Kakashi-sensei, isn't Kazuki up yet?" ”

Kakashi shook his head and said, "He's tortured himself to the limit these days, I guess I'm going to have a good rest today, let's go first." ”

Sakura looked inside the room, then nodded and followed.

Tsunami admonished behind her, "Watch out on the road!" ”

…

At the same time, suspended in a half-empty conical wooden house.

Boom!

Without cutting off his right hand, he pinched and popped an apple, stretched his palm and said, "Very good, finally recovered." ”

He grabbed the beheading knife from the corner of the wall behind him, and he looked very relaxed: "Bai, this time that murderous kid is up to you." ”

The beautiful boy's masked hands froze slightly, and he inexplicably remembered the scene where the young man in the trench coat helped him pick herbs in the woods, and somehow his heart darkened, and then he said solemnly: "Yes!" ”

"Then let's go!"

…

The Great War is coming......
