It's snowing in Konoha.

Without the slightest warning, the silver dress lightly decorated the entire Konoha leaves, and even Yan Yan was dyed with a layer of white hair.

Although it wasn't snowy, it made people shiver.

A teenager with long silver hair, a black mask, and a black tight combat uniform, no, a child to be exact, was sitting on a big tree next to the playground, leaning his back against the trunk, looking into the distance and not knowing what he was trying to write.

"Kakashi, you're here."

Kakashi lowered his head when he heard this, a girl was looking up at him with her hands behind her back, the other party had short brown hair, purple oil paint on her cheeks, a pair of large dark brown pupils, it seemed that she could be cured at a glance, a light pink skirt with red over-the-knee socks, if it weren't for the pockets tied to her thighs and forehead guards, who would have thought that she was actually a shinobi?

Kakashi looked at the familiar girl in front of him, just nodded, and didn't speak.

The girl seemed to be used to Kakashi's style, and said to him with a smile, "Do you want to eat dumplings today, I have a coupon~"

Kakashi just shook his head, "I'm sorry, Rin, I don't want to eat right now. ”

Obito jumped out of nowhere, grabbed Rin's arm and was about to walk in the direction of the meatball shop: "Rin, you heard it, Kakashi doesn't want to eat, let's just go." ”

Obito tugged twice, but Rin didn't waver in the slightest, he turned his head, looked at Rin who was still looking at Kakashi, and pouted.

"Kakashi, we're best buddies, aren't we? If you have something, you can tell us. ”

Kakashi looked at the other man's worried gaze for a long time, and Kakashi shook his head and disappeared.

At this moment, even the nervous Obito sensed that something was wrong.

In the past, although Kakashi was cold, his heart was actually active, and he would get angry and complain, but he didn't express it much.

But today, Obito felt that his whole person was as cold as an eternal ice, without any mood swings.

"Obito, you know... Do you know about that? ”

Lin lowered her head and whispered.

"What's the matter?" After Obito asked, he reacted and said angrily: "How is it possible! Those people have no Kakashi in their hearts, no companions, and Hokage-sama will never allow the practice of giving Hakuya-sama's saber to Sand Shinobi! ”

Lin didn't speak, just her eyes were full of worry.

At first, when the Watergate assassination was reported back to the village, most people were happy.

They don't have to fulfill that shameful agreement, Watergate is the hero of the village!

The only regret was that they didn't really kill the other party's command, otherwise they would have carried the water gate from the village gate to the Hokage Building.

But as the fighting intensified and the village's casualties mounted, it could be said that everyone had a family dressed in white.

Especially Yun Ren's surprise attack, it made those who only had Konoha in their eyes all their lives wake up to the fact that Yun Ren's knife was so close to him!

At this time, looking around, Konoha only has enemies, no support.

And bad news kept coming from the western front, and for a while, gloomy clouds shrouded over Konoha.

It's all Watergate!

He drove our only ally away!

People's attitudes have changed dramatically, and they desperately need a floodport, the water gate, which is undoubtedly the most suitable.

First, it was he who provoked the other party;

Secondly, if he hadn't left his post without permission, Yun Ren would not have touched the door of his house and brought such a big casualty to the village;

In the end, he is a good man, and even if people take their anger on him, he won't do anything to the villagers of Konoha.

In this mood, the idea of 'exchanging resources for time' has a comfortable breeding ground.

Now, the idea is widely spread among the villagers, even among the shinobi.

The ferocity of the war is extraordinary.

They are not those shinobi who have never seen much blood, nor are they the big lords sitting in the rear, they are the main force of the war.

Ninjas are also human beings, and every day they see their comrades die, and the people they know are lying on the hospital bed weakly with incomplete limbs, and they have paid so much, but the war is still tilting towards the abyss, this psychological pressure is too heavy.

The upper echelons of Konoha didn't react to this, and the calm water of the lake was turbulent, but there were only waves on the surface of the lake.

And Watergate is not there, as a disciple of Watergate, Kakashi, who is also a person related to the incident, is naturally the best way for people to exert pressure.

People openly and secretly hope that Kakashi will take the initiative to hand over the saber to the village, which can be regarded as for the sake of the village, so that everyone will look good.

Rin was an attentive girl, she felt this keenly, and was vaguely aware of the relationship between this matter and Kakashi, but there was so little she could do.

"Kakashi..."

Lin clutched the coupon in her hand and muttered.

"I'm back."

Kakashi shouted as usual, taking off his shoes and carrying the fish he had just caught into the kitchen.

Soon, bursts of aroma wafted up.

"I'm moving."

Kakashi whispered, then ate the meal in front of him one bite at a time, and when he finished washing the dishes and closed the kitchen door, the entire Kakashi house was plunged into darkness.

He wanted to go back to the house, but when he walked through a room, he suddenly stopped, stood like this for a long time, and suddenly put his hand on the door.

The old-fashioned wooden door creaked open, and Kakashi walked in barefoot and began to carefully clean the extremely modest room.

The moonlight was on the floor, and the room was empty, with only a few pieces of furniture standing out, and Kakashi wiped the vase spotlessly clean before picking up the picture frame next to it.

In the frame, Hagi Shuomao happily hugs a dignified-looking woman with a loving face and a baby in her arms.

Kakashi looked at it for a long time and gently placed it in the cupboard.

When everything was cleaned, he looked around, then sat silently in the middle, bent his legs, curled his feet, wrapped his arms around his knees, silently looked at the snowflakes outside, and then buried his whole face in the crook of his arms, and hugged him tightly, as if he wanted to shrink himself into a ball.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier outside, and in the sound of the cold wind, I faintly heard a few crying...

————

"My lord, Kakashi asks to see you."

Hearing the sound outside the door, Ape Fei Ri Slash was silent for a moment, put down the pipe in his hand, and said, "Come in." ”

Kakashi entered the door with a knife on his back, took two steps forward, and lowered his head: "Hokage-sama"

"Kakashi..."

At this time, the four eyes met, and neither of them spoke.

"Kakashi, the village..."

As soon as Sarufei spoke, Kakashi shook his head, calmly untied the saber behind him, and put it down on the table in front of Sarufei.

"If my father knew that his saber could help the village, it would be a kind of atonement. Hokage-sama, if it's okay, I'll continue to practice. ”

Kakashi lowered his eyes and whispered, then turned around and left the Hokage's office.

Ape Fei Ri looked at the knife in front of him and was silent for a long time.

"Shuo Mao~ You have a good son."

Looking at the saber in front of him, he seemed to think of the silver-haired man again.
