Naruto: If I ask you to kill Sasuke, you will become a succubus?

Chapter 271 7 Xi Xi Extra: About Kakashi

"Great! Kakashi-sensei, you're in the village!"

The man who had just come out of the bookstore subconsciously looked at the girl in front of him and speculated on the possible situation she was looking for.

But apart from the bouquet of flowers in her arms, Ino looked normal.

Remembering the news that Shikamaru was injured and hospitalized, Kakashi asked, "Are you going to the hospital to visit Shikamaru?"

Ino didn't answer, but just asked: "Hey, Kakashi-sensei, what do you think of the bouquet of flowers I chose? Is it beautiful?"

"Hmm... I don't quite understand, but I think it's pretty good?"

"Really? I made it based on my impression of Kakashi-sensei! He has silver-white hair, so I used white flowers. Roses don't suit his temperament very well, so I used gladiolus..."

"Wait," Kakashi said, "Based on your impression of me?"

"Yes!" Ino said, "I have already visited Shikamaru, and now I have come to see Kakashi-sensei. This is a Tanabata gift that a customer reserved for you. Please accept it!"

“It’s really a headache…”

"Ah, Kakashi-sensei, don't misunderstand! I'm not your admirer!"

"?"

"This is..." Ino lowered her eyes and gently stroked the petals of the gladiolus. "It's the Tanabata gift that Chaolu ordered. She seems to have confused Tanabata with Valentine's Day and celebrated both holidays the same... She ordered flowers for all her friends, just like giving charity chocolates to familiar opposite sex. There's no other meaning, just to show that you are someone she cherishes."

"You should know that she has..."

"Teacher Kakashi, do you think she is really a spy?" Ino looked up and stared at him closely: "Teacher Kakashi... As her team leader, do you really think she has ulterior motives? So far, she has not hurt anyone, nor caused any damage... Even if she has teamed up with the Sand Village and the Sound Village, there is no direct evidence... and..."

She bit her lip. "Besides, I don't think someone who had already made up his mind to defect would carefully prepare gifts for his friends months in advance. The flowers for each person were decided after Chaolu and I discussed for a long time... She asked me hopefully if everyone would like them. I... I didn't believe that her demeanor and expression at that time were just a false disguise."

"..."

"Does Kakashi-sensei know something?"

"..."

"Now that I think about it, Chaolu was in a weird mood when she was taking part in the Chunin Exams... Moreover, she told me that when she gave you flowers on Tanabata, she would first ask you if you liked the bouquet I designed, and then tell you that it was she who ordered the flowers... At the time, I thought she wanted to give you a surprise... But your reaction, did something happen between you two at that time?"

Kakashi lowered his eyes and stared at the white jade petals and delicate green leaves of the gladiolus. He did not answer, but asked: "Does she think this is consistent with the impression I give people?"

"Well... I was thinking of picking some flowers with darker colors, like the gray 'Moonlit Silver Frost', which is very suitable for the cold feeling of a jonin, or 'Manta', which has a very subtle color and is more suitable for an adult with a complex temperament... But Chaolu chose the gladiolus. Are such bright flowers really suitable? I asked her this, but she said that in her heart, Kakashi-sensei has a very noble feeling."

Ino glanced at the silent jonin. From his appearance to his temperament, he could not resonate with her friend.

Gao Jie... ?

Kakashi-sensei?

He just came out of the bookstore and even bought a full set of 18X "Intimate Paradise"!

"I think she must... admire you very much, Kakashi-sensei."

Kakashi held out his hand to her, but Ino couldn't read his expression and eyes. She hugged the bouquet tightly with some concern, as if she wanted to find a foster home for the kitten, but was unsure whether the foster home would take good care of the kitten. "Teacher Kakashi, you won't accept it and then throw it away, will you?"

"No." He asked softly towards Ino, "How should I save it? Teach me."

……

Kakashi was standing at the end of the street. When Shikamaru saw him, he suddenly slowed down his pace.

He found Asaka's hiding place in the Hidden Mist Village, but did not intend to reveal it to Kakashi and others who were traveling with him.

But just because he didn't say it doesn't mean that others are blind and deaf and can be fooled by him.

Kakashi is famous for more than just his ability to copy.

Could it be that he had been following him... and knew everything?

If that was the case, he could have just shown up, exposed the lies of the Hidden Mist Village, and directly asked for the missing people of Konoha, Asaka and Hyuga Neji. There was no need to wait here.

Shikamaru walked over slowly and said calmly, "Kakashi-sensei, why are you here?"

"The Hidden Mist Village has been closed for so long. It's a rare opportunity to come here, so I'm going to walk around and take a look." Kakashi turned his head and curled his eyes at him. He didn't seem to be at all strange. "The customs and habits of the Hidden Mist Village are indeed very different from those of Konoha. I just found a bookstore, but I didn't find "Intimate Paradise"."

Perhaps because he rarely saw people from other countries, Kakashi, wearing the Konoha forehead protector, would be stared at curiously and vigilantly by passers-by wherever he went.

At this moment, it was just him and Shikamaru who were being watched by everyone.

Kakashi ignored those glances: "Where's Shikamaru? Where did he go just now?"

"…I'm just taking a walk."

"Really...did you see any interesting shops or interesting things?"

"Nothing. I'm ready to go back. Is Kakashi-sensei going anywhere else?"

"If there is no "Innocent Paradise", I will go buy a bunch of flowers."

Shikamaru was a little surprised: "Is Kakashi-sensei the kind of person who would buy himself flowers?"

Only then did he confirm that the shop Kakashi had just been standing on the street staring at was the flower shop.

"No... I just take care of it occasionally."

There is no "Intimate Paradise" in the bookstore in the Hidden Mist Village, but fortunately there are white gladiolus in the flower shop in the Hidden Mist Village.

Ever since his companions and teachers died one after another, Kakashi has been unable to control his attention.

Whenever a person walks on the road, his mind will constantly recall the appearance of Obito and Rin before their death, the scene of the death of the teacher and his wife, and the body of his father.

They kept repeating their deaths in his mind, causing him immense pain, and he could not escape it whether he had his eyes open or closed.

He was unable to sleep and was afraid of being alone. Even when there were many people around him, he felt like he was isolated from the world.

My body seemed to be surrounded by thick transparent glass, and other people's voices, touches, smiles... all seemed distant and unreal.

In order to escape reality, many people become addicted to alcohol, but fortunately, Kakashi met "Intimate Paradise" before he ruined himself.

As long as he kept it in his hand and kept reading, he could escape from all the fantasies of death for a moment and feel peace.

With things to divert my attention, life finally becomes less painful.

Later, he met Chaolu again.

Watching "Insomnia", paying homage to his companions, and thinking about the girl became all that filled his normal life.

How to take care of her and raise her? How to train her so that she can protect herself? How to protect her? How to make her happy all the time? How to ensure that her fate will not be the same as Obito's or Rin's?

He stood in front of the memorial for a long time. In addition to visiting and remembering, he also began to pray, praying that his companions who had become heroes could bless the child with peace and happiness.

But changes always happen faster than you imagine.

The future will always change direction unexpectedly.

She said that she would make the name of White Fang resound throughout the ninja world once again;

She said she would take care of him forever.

But in the end, Konoha lost all trace of her forever, just like it lost Obito, Rin, and the Fourth Hokage.

Kakashi stood on the street, and the familiar street seemed to become inexplicably strange.

In a trance, he seemed to have an illusion that he had never met a girl named Chaolu.

He went back to having to hold something in his hands to distract himself, because whenever he had free time, every little detail of his time with her over the past six years would come back to torment him.

When a new version of "Intimate Paradise" came out - actually just a new cover - he bought all of them without hesitation, ready to read it all over again from the beginning.

It was on that day that Ino stopped him and handed him a bouquet of flowers.

Just thinking about the flowers and taking care of them seemed to distract him and his mental state improved.

But no matter how carefully he nurtured it, the rootless flower would eventually wither and die.

Kakashi brought out a new bouquet of white gladiolus from the flower shop in the Hidden Mist Village.

He looked in the direction from which Shikamaru came, stopped on the street for a moment, and did not choose to explore forward. Instead, he turned and left, walking in the opposite direction.

"Kakashi-sensei...!"

Beside him, a phantom of a young girl seemed to appear. She put her hands behind her back and smiled as she turned her head to look at him: "Kakashi-sensei, you are unique to me! What about me to Kakashi-sensei?"

He didn't know how to answer.
