Since a few days ago, Kakashi has not been home, leaving Hagi Sakushige alone at home.

Perhaps knowing his current situation, Hachiki Sakushige didn't object to this, but he suddenly remembered it today, and then waited for Kakashi.

an hour.

Two hours.

The moon gradually climbed up the window, and the bright moonlight sprinkled down, illuminating the slightly dark room, and looking at the door that had not moved for a long time, Hachiki Shuo Shigeru knew in his heart that Kakashi would not be back tonight.

"Really, why do you still think about these things at a young age? It's okay, Kakashi's child, presumably he will be able to grow up healthily in the future. ”

There was a lost expression on his face, and it only lasted for a short time, and then he regained his calm expression again, slowly got up, and groped all the way to the living room.

He didn't turn on the lights, and his figure looked a little rickety in the dark.

Stompe...

The foot on the floor made a slight noise that would have wiped out the entire squad if it had been on a previous mission.

"Am I still old after all?"

Soon, Hachiki Shuomao realized this, said with a wry smile, and just like that, he went all the way to the living room and felt the position of the stool in the dark.

Creak......

Pulling out the stool, Sakumo Hagi sat down.

In front of him were a few plates of food that had been cold, originally thinking that he would finally have time to chat with Kakashi, intending to make up for the debt he had been away all these years, but now it seemed that he was the only one to eat.

Peng——

A small flame rose up, and after lighting the candle on the table, looking at the shadow on the table, Shigeru Qiki fell silent again.

Am I really wrong?

Once again, the question came to his mind, when, on the way to the mission, he could have abandoned his partner and completed the mission alone.

But he didn't, and after a short hesitation, he resolutely gave up the task and turned around to rescue his partner, but it was accompanied not by praise, but by one-sided abuse.

Even today, even the partner he saved with his life appeared, but instead of supporting him, he joined the crowd that abused him.

This gap can't help but make him doubt himself.

"But isn't the so-called Will of Fire just to bring us together? Why, then, is this the case? ”

As a traditional ninja, he only knows how to kill, how to kill enemies with the most efficient means, is what he is best at, and it is precisely because of this that he does not know the logic behind the whole thing, but doubts himself vigorously.

"Ninjas are tools, ninjas are not allowed to have their own ideas......"

Knock Knock......

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, which immediately interrupted Qimu Shuomao's train of thought, he was stunned, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly corrected his sitting posture, and said in a seemingly gentle tone:

"Kakashi? Come in, the door is unlocked. ”

Then it seemed a little too cold, so I added a sentence at the end:

"Really, why did you come back so late, I gave you a hot meal, and we ...... together"

Halfway through his words, Qimu Shuomao raised his head, but he didn't see the familiar figure, but a door that looked extremely deserted after being blown open by the wind.

He opened his mouth, then let out a sigh.

"Original...... Is it the wind? ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, after this sigh, Qimu Shuomao's figure instantly fell lonely, no more words, finished the meal in silence, and then got up, as if he had made up his mind, and silently walked to his bedroom.

Creak......

The door slowly closed with a creaking sound, reflecting the last look of Sakushige Qiki in the darkness.

It was a calm, but somewhat lonely look.

……

……

Konoha Village, behind the Hokage Rock.

Underneath a waterfall.

Whoa—

Zheng ...... Click.

Kakashi was still sitting cross-legged in the waterfall, his face calm, practicing the repetitive moves over and over again, and muttering in his mouth:

"It's going to be soon, it's going to be soon, I'm going to get better and get my father out of his current situation!"

Splatter!

A stone fell, making a huge splash.

It fell from the upper reaches of the river, and as the waterfall fell, the stone with a powerful impact became a deadly weapon, and the slightest hit by an ordinary person would cause serious wounds.

Even ninjas don't dare to take it lightly.

Tear pull –

Under the powerful impact of the water, the clothes that had been soaked in the waterfall for several days finally couldn't hold on, and with a crisp tearing sound, Kakashi's scarred upper body was suddenly revealed.

The bruise on the shoulder was already very serious, and even some areas had broken skin, revealing red flesh, and wisps of blood were flowing under the impact of the water.

Besides.

There are also small wounds that have scarred, and look like they were caused by falling stones from the waterfall.

Zheng ...... Click.

Trying to draw his knife again, he was pressed down by the rushing current, Kakashi didn't care about the wound on his body, this small injury, as long as it didn't delay him from continuing training.

The short knife pinned to his waist was forcibly pressed down because it was unsheathed again and again, and the scabbard at this time looked a little damaged, but it did not prevent Kakashi from continuing to practice.

Draw the knife, sheath it, and draw it again......

Kakashi kept repeating like this, even if he was scarred, he didn't choose to give up, and just like that, until late at night, he finally grasped the slightest opportunity, and then the chakra all over his body surged, and he immediately drew his knife decisively!

Zheng –

This time, instead of being pressed back, the dagger was quickly unsheathed, and as the blade refracted the cold moonlight, Kakashi finally succeeded in pulling out the dag!

"Father, I succeeded! Wait for me, I'll be able to ...... soon"

Thump.

Before he finished speaking, Kakashi, who was already extremely tired, could no longer hold on, his eyes went black, and he suddenly fell into the water.

Meanwhile.

In a bush next to the waterfall, a figure quickly flashed out, and with great speed, it finally caught Kakashi before he fell into the water, and then a touched expression appeared on his face:

"Oh! That's my rival! Kakashi, this is our youth!! ”

Wrapped in dark green tights, Maitkai's expression was extremely serious:

"Don't worry, Kakashi! Your efforts will not be in vain! ”

Looking at Kakashi, who had fallen into a coma, he understood that he could not relax at this time, so after saying these words, he shut up and looked at the village, as if to determine the direction of progress.

Subsequently.

As soon as his feet were up, the figure suddenly disappeared in place.

Woohoo......

Maitkai's figure galloped through the forest, leaving an afterimage along the way, and Kakashi, who was held in his arms, also frowned at this time, and in a daze, it seemed that he saw his father's figure appear in front of him, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, but he couldn't catch it.

In a haze, the phantom of Hachiki Shuo Shige seemed to be laughing, touched Kakashi's head, and then smiled:

"Kakashi, you're going to make a great ninja."

"I always believe in this......"

His consciousness was hazy, and after hearing these words, Kakashi's mind fell into a complete coma, and he could no longer hear any sound.

……

Next.

There is a shocking news coming out of Konoha Village.

A ninja who rose to prominence during the Second Shinobi War, known as Hachiki Sakushige of Konoha White Fang.

Committed suicide.
