Chapter 714 (Full)
Konoha Commercial Street.
"Meeting is fate. This string of Buddhist beads is given to the benefactor. I hope the host will do more good deeds."
A middle-aged woman on the street accepted a Buddhist rosary from a monk across the street.
"Thank you very much, Master..."
By the time the middle-aged woman looked up, the monk had already disappeared into the crowd.
She shook the exquisite Buddhist prayer beads in her hand, beaming with joy.
"Looks like I'm in luck."
Just as she was about to go home, a masked member of the Dark Guard suddenly descended from the sky.
"stop!"
As a villager of Konoha, I recognized the Anbu.
The middle-aged woman stopped abruptly, somewhat nervously: "Sir, is there something you need?"
The secret agent picked up the prayer beads and examined them closely. After discovering that they were just ordinary prayer beads, he returned them to her.
"Routine check, everything's fine, you can go now."
……
At the entrance of Konoha Hospital.
"May Buddha bless you, benefactor. Whether you are destined to receive this gift or not, it is hereby given to you."
"Thank you, Master."
A woman with freckles on her face received a Buddhist rosary as a gift from a monk.
Several such incidents have occurred in Konoha Village.
They were all monks who had come with Dilu.
An undercover team inspected the items and found they were just ordinary Buddhist beads, so they left them alone.
……
Kakashi Hatake's family.
Kakashi stood under a tree with his eyes slightly closed, looking relaxed.
A gentle breeze blew by, sending a flurry of leaves tumbling down behind them.
Kakashi opened his eyes, drew his short sword, and flashes of light appeared continuously.
call……
After a breath, Kakashi sheathed his sword.
Kakashi crouched down and carefully examined the leaves on the ground; most of them had been cut in half.
But Kakashi was not satisfied; instead, he sighed.
A person was sitting at a stone table not far away.
He also had white hair and looked very much like Kakashi; he was none other than Sakumo Hatake.
"If your mind is preoccupied and your will is scattered, you will never be able to master the skill of focusing your energy for a single strike."
Sakumo Hatake picked up his teacup and spoke slowly and deliberately.
Kakashi approached Hatake Hiroshige, bowed his head, and said, "I'm sorry, Father, I've disappointed you."
Hatake Shigeo wasn't angry; he simply stood up and patted Kakashi on the shoulder.
"Taking detours is not terrible, taking the wrong path is not a problem, as long as you don't stop."
"Go out for a walk, don't rush, you have a long way to go."
"Yes, I understand, Father."
……
After leaving his house, Kakashi walked and walked until he unknowingly arrived in the direction of Konoha Hospital.
Lin is working there now.
Kakashi stood there for a long time, looking somewhat hesitant.
After Obito was killed by Rin (according to Kakashi), the relationship between Kakashi and Rin became somewhat complicated.
When Rin forcibly kissed Kakashi, she was indulging in a moment of pleasure. Although it was revenge against Obito, it also made things a little awkward between her and Kakashi.
After all, Kakashi was already in his twenties, while Rin was only thirteen.
Although the atmosphere between the two was a bit awkward, the fact that they could be revived was already a great stroke of luck.
Lin was still very happy because as long as she was alive, she could use her medical ninjutsu to save more people.
The ninja world has been very peaceful these past few years, and Rin has spent most of her time busy at the hospital, learning medical skills and treating patients.
Rin and Kakashi met quite a few times, but their relationship never progressed.
Aside from thinking that Rin was too young, Kakashi still kept the events of that year in his heart.
Lin naturally noticed that their relationship had become awkward.
After all, there's a significant age difference between the two, so there's bound to be some generation gap.
So Rin and Kakashi agreed that they would consider other things after Rin turned eighteen.
Not long ago, Lin turned eighteen.
Kakashi hasn't figured it out yet, which is why his swordsmanship has been stuck at a bottleneck.
Just as Kakashi was lost in thought, a voice rang in his ear.
"Huh? Isn't that Kakashi?"
"Are you here to see Rin? I'll go get her." A woman with freckles on her face looked at Kakashi curiously.
"Ah, no need, I'm just passing by."
Kakashi recognized the woman; her name was Chizuru, she was also a medical ninja, and Rin's colleague.
Kakashi wasn't planning to see Rin until he had figured out how to face her.
So he quickly said goodbye and left.
Chizuko swung the prayer beads in her hand, and spat as she watched Kakashi's departing figure.
"So slow and indecisive, not manly at all. Humph."
As Rin's colleague, Chizuko had worked with her for many years and knew some of the inside story.
After all these years, Rin and Kakashi haven't made any progress, which makes Chizuko somewhat anxious.
At that moment, a figure with two purple patterns painted on her face walked out of the hospital; it was Nohara Rin.
"Chizuko, didn't you go to eat? Why are you standing here?"
Chizuko shook her head, not telling Rin Nohara about Kakashi's appearance earlier.
"I just met a monk who said I have a connection with Buddhism and gave me this."
Chizuko shook the prayer beads in her hand:
"I heard that the land of all the temples is going to be taken back by the village."
"These monks won't have much land to use in the future."
"I wonder if these monks are out here to win people's hearts."
“I’ve seen them give Buddhist prayer beads to so many people.”
"I don't know if it's just a case of desperately trying anything."
"But this string of beads is quite nice."
Nohara Rin shook her head: "As you can see from the development over the past few years, Konoha's plans are excellent."
“If the village wants to take back the land, there must be a reason.”
Nohara Rin is a peace-loving person, and the fact that there has been no major war in the ninja world in recent years is what she is most happy to see.
Moreover, the person currently in power in Konoha is her teacher, so naturally he would support any policy he decrees.
Chizuko didn't dwell on the topic. Her eyes lit up and she said, "Since you're out, let's go eat Ichiraku Ramen together."
Lin readily agreed: "Sure, it's been a while since I've been there."
The two walked together, and Chizuko asked casually, "Why haven't I seen you going to see Kakashi lately?"
Lin paused for a moment, then continued walking forward: "There are so many things to do at the hospital, I don't necessarily need to find him."
Chizuko snorted:
"I'm not saying this to be mean, but even if he's handsome, he's not worth liking for so many years. You should have given up a long time ago."
Lin smoothed her hair, her eyes somewhat lost in thought:
"I do like him, and I don't want to give him up, but it's not like I necessarily have to be with him."
Chizuko was somewhat surprised: "What do you mean by that?"
Lin smiled gently: "If Kakashi can't give his all to me, then there's no point in the two of us being together."
