[Naruto + Curse] Magician's Guide to Reemployment

As the only Jonin here, Kakashi cannot always stay with Cage Island. There were still a few hours left before they left this town, and they didn't know what kind of trouble those loose bean sprouts would cause. While Kakashi wanted to intervene, he slumped his shoulders and sighed repeatedly. But after all, he still did his duty to coordinate. Before going out, he told Longdao to have a good rest and not to wander around with the boys in the class.

As soon as he stepped forward, a young boy with blond hair and green eyes stood in front of the cage island room. Before Gōjima could ask why he was here, Inoue closed his eyes and bowed ninety degrees to the foot of the girl's bed, with a loud voice: "I'm really sorry, Koizumi!!!!"

This kind of momentum forced Long Dao to choke for a few seconds. She stared at the blond boy's hair and said coldly: "I'm not dead yet."

This time it was Inoue's turn to be in a hurry: "No, no, no! I didn't mean that! I mean, Koizumi, what I said to you before was too much. Although I know that even if I apologize now, I can't change the established fact. But at least there is no way to do nothing about it." Inoue raised his head, stared at Cage Island, and said seriously, "I'm sorry for what I said before, Xiaoizumi has always been a very kind and gentle person!"

"...I didn't care, and you don't need to take it to heart." The last adjective made him speechless for a moment. When he came back to his senses, Longdao stretched out his hands and replied lazily. In order to avoid Inoue misunderstanding, she added the first half of the sentence, "Your opinions cannot have any substantial impact on me, so there is no need for you to worry about it."

She didn't have any ill intentions at all, she just confessed that she didn't hold any grudge against the other party's indiscriminate attacks, hoping to make her colleagues let go of their unnecessary guilt. Who would have thought that when he said it out loud, it would sound different, and in the ears of Little Douding, it would sound more like a cold and hard excuse with lots of cracks. Therefore, when Long Daofang raised his head, he saw Xiao Douding looking like he was crying, his beautiful green eyes covered with mist. The little man tried his best to suppress his breathing and tried to use his eyelashes to fan out the flickering water in his eyes.

A big doubt rose in Longdao's little head.

He started apologizing again.

……

The atmosphere in Class 9 is very strange. When the four people from Class 7 came back from outside, they naturally noticed this. This is specifically reflected in Inoue's increasingly cautious and fearful attitude towards Cage Island. Qing Shui sighed helplessly on the side, looking old-fashioned. Lungdao himself, who was being flattered, was full of doubts, but he didn't know where to start.

Seeing the little girl's unconcerned expression, Kakashi consciously gave up the idea of ​​asking her what happened. Looking for an opportunity for the couple from the same hotel on Long Island to apologize for the broken sword, they held Jiraiya's masterpiece in one hand as usual, walked up to Qing Shui and asked quietly: "What happened? I feel that the atmosphere is a bit subtle. ." The Jonin's eyes fell on Inoue, who was planting mushrooms outside the hotel door, and the latter's anxiety and depression almost materialized.

"Ah, they had a quarrel. The two of them." Qing Shui replied listlessly.

"Quarrel?" Kakashi was a little surprised. This action would be a bit far-fetched for any of the protagonists in the center of this strange atmosphere, and it is completely natural to find it incredible.

"That guy Haruki said some exaggerated things to Quan before. After Izumi woke up, he went to apologize and came back in this state. But Izumi didn't seem to have any intention of quarreling... I guess it was mostly the unilateral entanglement of that guy Haruki. Well, there must be some misunderstanding. Izumi doesn't seem to know what's going on. After all, she is very slow in some aspects, so it's not surprising." Qing Shui concluded, "They are two idiots."

Kakashi couldn't help laughing.

As soon as Rong Daofu walked out of the hotel, Inoue stared at him again with a resentful look like an abandoned puppy. However, after thinking to no avail, Longdao did not find a solution from past experience and existing knowledge, so she calmly ignored the young boy who looked aggrieved.

"Are you ready to go?" she asked Kakashi.

"Well, it's time to go." Kakashi replied. Upon hearing the signal to return to Konoha, Naruto excitedly raised his arms and shouted, Sakura bid farewell to the inn couple reservedly, Sasuke squeezed out a soft hum from his nose, and glanced at Kakashi and Gongjima, who were standing face to face. He stayed on the bandage on the latter's right hand for a while, then moved it away lightly. Before Cage Island was about to move away, Kakashi suddenly stopped her, and under the little girl's puzzled eyes, he squatted down with his back to her. The silver-haired Jonin turned his head and curled his eyes towards Cage Island: "This is still some distance from Konoha. With your current physical strength, you should be a little reluctant, so it's better not to show off."

Kakashi was right. Whether it was Lung Dao Quan during his high school days or Lung Dao Quan now, he still had old habits and was not good at fighting for long periods of time. In layman's terms, it's a glass sword. High critical strike but low durability. If you can't kill instantly, then running away is the best strategy.

Between this, Longdao finally compromised. The kind-hearted silver-haired Jonin didn't look like a strong type. His whole body was covered in clothes and a vest that were not close-fitting, making him visually appear slim. In addition, his skin exposed outside his clothes is unexpectedly fair, making it difficult to associate him with an outstanding ninja who has experienced hundreds of battles - from this perspective, he is the same as the ridiculously strong former teacher on Cage Island. It's exactly the same.

——At first glance, they are all pretty boys.

But completely opposite to this impression is the man's broad and tight back. Her weight did not put any burden on Kakashi. He held the little girl's knees with ease, as if no weight was added to her. Very safe. This thought quietly appeared in Cage Island's mind. Following Cageshima's movements, a lock of hair slipped from behind her ear and curled up docilely on the side of Kakashi's neck. The hair lifted by the wind restlessly teased the latter's ear.

Unable to tolerate the disturbance, the Jonin had no choice but to seek help from the owner of those annoying hairs, and the little girl obediently pushed her hair behind her ears again. It was difficult to distance himself in this position, and Rongdao's breath always lingered in his ears, hitting his ears with warmth. Like a butterfly hovering on your shoulder.

Thank you for your hard work Kakashi, leading Class 7 alone, the energetic boys and girls in the class are enough for him to worry about. Now that the ninth class has been added, the level of chatter is even higher than before. Rather than being the direct boss of Class 7, he is about to become the guardian of both classes.

Kakashi was thinking about the ending of the novel in his bag, but he couldn't even take out the orange-covered book of Intimate Paradise. Coupled with the vague sight above his head, he really couldn't act like this.

"Kakashi-sensei, I can read."

He could almost imagine what the girl on his back was going to say. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but retract his hand angrily. Unexpectedly, this sentence did come out of Longdao's mouth in the end, but the context was subtly different.

The little girl had a bright mind and noticed the source of his uneasiness early on. Rongjima thought for a moment and asked thoughtfully: "Kakashi-sensei, do you want to read the novel called Intimate Paradise?"

"!" Kakashi was shocked.

Lungdao continued speaking slowly: "I know it's inconvenient for you to take the book now, so I can read it for you." She probably felt that his reaction was due to doubts about her literacy, so she declared seriously , "Don't worry, I know the words."

Kakashi: ...That's not the problem! !

The silver-haired Jonin immediately replied: "No... I don't think it's necessary."

Longdao blinked and said calmly: "Teacher, are you shy?"

Kakashi's handsome face under the mask heated up rapidly, and he was stumbling when he spoke. Rongjima squinted his eyes and caught a glimpse of the Jonin's almost red ears, and stopped talking thoughtfully. Just when Kakashi thought that this topic would turn the page, he heard a soft sigh in his ear: "Please don't be shy. Kakashi-sensei, although he also likes to read small books, but unexpectedly It’s innocent and feels kind of cute.”

Kakashi:? !

Kakashi hesitated to speak, hesitated to speak again, and finally fell completely silent. His whole body was as gray as a shadow on the ground.

Seeing that the man carrying him fell into inexplicable depression, Long Dao pursed his lips in confusion. Then after a while he tentatively said: “And it’s unexpectedly reliable.”

"What kind of impression did I leave on you..." Kakashi finally added weakly, "I feel very defeated, Koizumi."

"She makes all kinds of excuses for being late. She never leaves her book. On the surface, she seems to be affectionate, but she is unexpectedly innocent?" Long Dao elaborated, his tone was almost statement-like, emphasizing the second half of the sentence. The corners of his lips rose slightly uncontrollably for a moment, and then he continued, "But overall, he is a reliable and handsome senior, Kakashi-sensei."

Reliable and handsome Kakashi-senpai:...

Kakashi changed the subject: "Speaking of which, are you and Haruki quarreling?"

Lungdao was puzzled and then denied it. Seeing this, Kakashi joked suggestively: "But since just now, Haruki has been peeking at you from time to time. It seems that he wants to talk to you but is afraid of it."

After hearing this, Longdao recalled it for a while and realized that it seemed to be true. It happened that the young man in question was a few steps behind, hesitantly glanced at Longdao and the others, but hesitated to speak. Unexpectedly, he bumped into the latter's gaze, and he was at a loss for what to do. Longdao silently stared at his colleague until he turned his back, and then he made a short sound as if he suddenly realized something. Just when the blond boy who was captured was staring at his toes, a soft and cold voice from a little red sounded: "Are you crying, Inoue?"

Kakashi:  …

Inoue: ...?

After a lot of trouble, I finally figured out the reason. Inoue said uneasily: "I thought Xiaoquan was still angry with me. It doesn't matter even if you are angry. That was my fault."

Rongdao paused unexpectedly, and then stated: "I'm not angry, and you didn't make any mistakes." Seeing that the other party showed misunderstanding again, she calmly explained, "People are very easy to be speechless when they are extremely impulsive. I completely understand the choice of words. This is normal and does not cause any substantial harm to me. Besides, what you said may not be wrong."

"Common doesn't mean it's correct!" Surprised, Inoue couldn't help but show disapproval. He retorted, "Besides, Koizumi, you obviously arrived in time to save us. If it weren't for Koizumi, we wouldn't have been able to save us as we wished. Give birth to that child, and now I can return to Konoha."

In contrast to the fierce reactions of his colleagues, Longjima looked as usual, calm and indifferent: "Our starting point is different. Strictly speaking, I am really not a righteous partner." Hearing this, the silver-haired Jonin turned his face slightly and looked at Deflect a few degrees in the direction of the girl. Before Inoue could say anything else, Kagoshima continued, "But I am your companion."

Like the chirping of cicadas that stopped abruptly in summer, Inoue's expression froze for a moment. Then joyful colors came to life in his expression. He grinned a bright smile. The obstacles that stood in the middle of Class 9 finally dissolved into the air at this moment, like dark clouds driven away by the wind.

A smile popped out of Kakashi's eyes silently, and at the same time, a subtle familiarity emerged from the depths of his memory, seeming to involve him, and it was so light that it was not as light as a passing wind.

Many years ago, I seemed to have heard someone say something similar.
