"Brother Tatsuma?"

In the courtyard of the Hagi family, Kakashi, who looked like he was playing with a short knife, saw the visiting Tatsuma, and hurriedly ran to the courtyard gate to open the door for Tatsuma.

Tatsuma smiled and rubbed Kakashi's hedgehog head, and the next second he regretted it, sweating all over his hands

Seeing that Kakashi's clothes were also wet with sweat, Tatsuma extinguished the idea of wiping the sweat back and hung it in the air to dry, but his smile did not change, and he said, "Kakashi, is Sakumo-sama at home?" ”

"At home, I'm cooking, I'll ask my father to cook more, and you can stay for lunch."

After Kakashi finished speaking, without waiting for Tatsuma to agree or refuse, and without welcoming Tatsuma into the house, he ran towards the house with two small short legs.

A few seconds after entering, Hagi Shuo Shigeru, who was wearing a pink apron, also appeared, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, but the posture of holding the knife was also unconsciously prepared, not like chopping vegetables, but as if he was ready to cut people at any time.

"Tatsuma?!"

Qimu Shuomao shouted in surprise, and then realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Come in first, come in first." ”

Chenma nodded, then walked into the courtyard, walked into the house, and said to Qimu Shuomao: "Lord Shuomao, if you visit rashly, you don't pay attention to the time, you may have to eat a meal." ”

"Out of the way."

Hachiki Shuomao waved his hand holding the knife and said, "Your body"

"It's okay, you don't have to worry, this matter is just an accident, or on the contrary, I underestimated my opponent too much, after all, it is Thunder Shadow, and I am too childish to deal with it."

Facing the party Qimu Shuomao, Chenma still said a few more words, and Qimu Shuomao also heard that Chenma was letting himself not take it to heart, nodded and said, "Let's talk after dinner, I'll cook for you." ”

With that, he went back to the kitchen and kicked Kakashi out to entertain Tatsuma by the way, compared to the fact that the Danzo family had nothing, although the Kakashi family did not have normal family warmth, it was still there.

Kakashi was a little rusty, but he made tea for Tatsuma very seriously, and handed the tea to Tatsuma, and then he asked curiously, "Brother Tatsuma, I heard from my father that you designed to induce the Eight-Tails Rebellion, and fought against the Eight-Tails and the Thunder Shadow Queen to break away from your father?" ”

Tatsuma didn't drink a sip of tea, he was stuck in his throat directly, and after calming down, Tatsuma explained: "It was Lord Shuomao who led this mission, and it was also Lord Shuomao and Watergate who finally led us out of the Land of Thunder.

I just helped a little, and even dragged the two of you down. ”

Kakashi wondered, "It's strange, Father-sama, Watergate-sama, and you, you actually told three versions of the story, are you really on the same mission?" ”

Tatsuma shook his head and said: "The same dusk, in the eyes of different people, also has different scenery and meanings, or the prelude to love, or the sorrow of the resignation of the deceased, it can be the end of the dawn of the sun, or the beginning of the night sky. ”

Hearing this, Kakashi nodded thoughtfully, and Tatsuma looked at Kakashi, who was much more lively than before and had more childlike characteristics, and also said with a smile, "You've been in a good mood lately, have you made friends?" ”

"Nope."

Kakashi decisively denied it, then looked back in the direction of the kitchen, and without further ado, Tatsuma understood that this was the unconscious comfort of someone who could be relied on.

Suddenly remembering something, Tatsuma asked with a smile, "Kakashi, are you now learning swordsmanship with Sakumo-sama?" ”

Kakashi nodded, and Tatsuma pulled out a scroll and said, "Speaking of which, I also studied with Sakumo-sama back then, but I was not talented enough to learn much.

He lived up to the saber he once gave him to Lord Saumo."

Unsealing the seal, a short knife that was a little old but with obvious traces of maintenance appeared, Tatsuma picked up the knife and said, "When you were born, I was out on a mission, and I may not be able to give it to you when you enter school next year."

I'll give it back to you now, this is your father's former saber, don't let this sword and your father fail like I did. ”

Handing the knife to Kakashi, Kakashi subconsciously wanted to excuse himself, but Tatsuma let go directly, and Kakashi could only catch the short knife in a hurry.

At this time, Hachiki Shuo Shigeru also poked his head out of the kitchen and said, "Kakashi, take it, your big brother Chenma's current ability, you don't need this short knife, you can just thank your big brother Chenma for getting married and giving birth to a child in the future." ”

As he spoke, Hachiki Sakumo's eyes swept over the short knife in Kakashi's hand, and when he saw the maintenance marks on it, a smile appeared on his face, it seemed that although Tatsuma didn't need this knife, he hadn't forgotten this gift.

Hachiki Shuomao secretly warned himself in his heart that he must not let Tatsuma know that he gave this knife back then because he used all the money to customize a new saber, and only this short knife could be given in his hand.

If you let Chenma know, wouldn't you be a little ashamed of Chenma's maintenance of this knife over the years? Wait, they also seem to know about the true red, Gongdao and Yijiao, and they must find a chance to shut their mouths!

Thinking about it, Hachiki Sakumo looked at Tatsuma and said, "Tatsuma, I won't be polite to you, Kakashi has been studying with me recently, and he really needs a knife to take advantage of." ”

"It's okay, don't dislike me for giving gifts too late and too perfunctory."

Chen Ma waved his hand, this kind of thing is always one person to give first, and the other person to make up, if the relationship is not broken, then in the end, there will be someone surplus a gift, and a deceased who has not received another gift in return.

This kind of gift giving doesn't really mean anything, but it's like this for everyone, everywhere.

Qimu Shuomao cooks very quickly, of course, he doesn't do much, after all, he hasn't really eaten at the same table as Chenma today, and he eats soldier food pills when he goes out on missions.

Occasionally going to the town to eat, more for information, and in order not to attract attention, Tatsuma will also deliberately control the amount of food he eats, so Hachiki Shuomao doesn't know that his food is different from ordinary people.

Tatsuma also has the consciousness of being a guest or a guest with a meal, and he doesn't eat much, and he also shows a satisfied look, which doesn't embarrass Hachiki Shuomao.

After the meal, Kakashi sensibly washed the dishes, but Sakumo Hachiki had already washed and put away the knife and cutting board, and he was not afraid that Kakashi would miss and get hurt.

Qimu Shuomao took Chenma to the courtyard, sat on the edge corridor, and there was a tea tray in the middle, Qimu Shuomao asked: "You were injured this time, there should be no sequelae, right?" ”

"No, if I really have a good one, it's not me who came to you today, but my grumpy teacher, you say?"

Tatsuma smiled and teased, and Hagi Sakumo also nodded in agreement, but there was still worry in his eyes, he knew what kind of injury Tatsuma had, and it was difficult for Hagi Sakumo to understand without sequelae.

However, he hoped that it was true, not because he was afraid that Tsunade would come to trouble him, but because of himself, he would hinder the future path of the talented boy in the village.

"Lord Shuomao, I just returned to the village today, but I have already heard some rumors in the village, so please don't take it seriously. Hokage-sama also told me that someone deliberately guided me, and I believe that this misunderstanding and misdirection will soon dissipate. ”

Tatsuma put away his smile and said seriously to Hachiki Shuomao, who nodded and said, "I naturally understand"

Hachiki Shuomao was silent for a moment, but he couldn't help but ask, "Tatsuma, as far as you are concerned, do you think the completion of the mission is more important, or is the safety of your teammates more important?" ”

Hearing this question, Tatsuma pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and said, "Lord Shuomao, what I want the most. It's to grasp with both hands, and both hands to be hard, but I know that you are not satisfied with my answer, and I can't do this.

For me, you should know quite well, I have the courage to sacrifice some people for the successful completion of the mission, and I also have the courage to be willing to take risks for the sake of my companions, for now, I think your problem is unsolvable.

At least for me, but when I am faced with a choice, I think about the consequences of both options, giving preference to the one I can afford, if I can afford both, or neither

Then, I will choose the decision I want to make the most, even if I die, I will die happily, instead of living or losing myself in the blame. ”

"So."

Qimu Shuomao took a sip of tea, and then said: "It's me who is paranoid and thinks that I can only choose one direction in my life, and it's also me who is inferior to you in terms of talent for things, and I can't see through too many things."

But I believe that I still have a very good eye for people, you and Watergate are people I am very optimistic about, in addition to that, do you know the kid who Dai? ”

"Maitkai?"

"Well, I met him by chance yesterday, a child who continued his father's ninja and will, and I don't think his future achievements will be lost to Kakashi, Kakashi. Some are withdrawn and conceited, and even some have low self-esteem.

It's also that I'm too incompetent, I didn't accompany him at the most critical time for his character development, what he lacked most was companionship and attention, but I knew too early that I couldn't rely on these, so I was worried

If he enters the ninja school, he will be in a hurry to become the first, he will be in a hurry to graduate, and he will even be anxious to become the youngest middle ninja and upper ninja.

Conceited enough not to want to be in the company of others, but inferior enough to want everyone's attention. ”

As he spoke, Hachiki Sakumo sighed and said, "But as a father, I don't know how to make up for the shortcomings that my mistakes have brought to Kakashi. ”

Tatsuma didn't have the ability to solve the two big problems of family and education, so he could only comfort and say, "Lord Shuomao, maybe your company is what Kakashi craves the most right now."

You think he wants to get everyone's attention, but maybe he just wants to get your attention and approval, maybe you don't have to worry too much and treat him as a child.

Don't think about his future, don't think about his ninja career, think of him as a child who needs your father's company, so you don't have too many worries and he can get your more pure attention, don't you? ”

"You'll be a good father."

"It's hard to say, after all, it's easier said than done, just like I often give Watergate advice on how to chase Jiu Sinai."

"Hahaha~"

Kakashi, who was washing dishes in the house, heard a hearty smile that his father had never felt before, and the rag in his hand was clenched a little tighter, his father had never been so happy in front of him.

Is he not as good as Brother Tatsuma?

Kakashi secretly decided that he would train harder and graduate earlier than Tatsuma's big brother, become a ninja earlier, become a middle shinobi earlier, and even become a shinobi before Tatsuma's big brother!

In this way, you should be able to make your father happy for himself, right?
