Konoha Sheriff

"Book friend?"

After hearing this, Tsunade was stunned for a while before she remembered what books Jiraiya had written.

Thinking of Jiraiya's "Intimacy Series", her face suddenly turned a little red, and the eyes she looked at Kakashi lost their original curiosity, and turned to vigilance with a little disgust.

Noticing Tsunade's eyes that seemed to be looking at the crumbs of the world, Kakashi realized for the first time what "social death" was.

"This... this was recommended to me by Akai, saying it can adjust my mood."

Kakashi explained in a panic. Halfway through the explanation, he couldn't help but recall the scene described in the book.

From a certain point of view, what Akai said is indeed right. The blushing description can really adjust the mood of an older bachelor who is busy with his third year...

After some explanations, Kakashi suddenly realized something was wrong.

He put on a straight face and once again established his usual persona, and said somewhat coldly:

"But compared to this, it seems strange that you three visited my house in the middle of the night."

Hearing Kakashi say this, Jiraiya and Tsunade opposite could not help but be stunned.

After they recovered from their curiosity, they also noticed that their behavior just now was indeed a bit impolite.

what to do?Do you want to apologize?

Just when the two of them were undecided, Beichen showed a smile:

"Kakashi, this is what you don't know. We deliberately chose a night attack to visit you."

"Deliberately?" Kakashi squinted his eyes and looked at Beichen, looking like "I believe you are a ghost."

But in the end, he didn't open his mouth to refute. He just looked at Beichen quietly, waiting for what else he could make up.

Facing Kakashi's slightly serious gaze, Beichen pointed at Jiraiya and said slowly:

"I think you should know his specific identity."

After hearing this, Kakashi glanced at the author of the "book" in his hand and nodded silently.

After all, the ninja world is a place where seniority is very important. Jiraiya can deny him as his disciple, but he, his disciple, must admit the fact that Jiraiya is also his master.

"That's right, Jiraiya is actually very worried about your mental state, but he is also afraid that we won't be able to see your truest side if we visit in advance, so he suggested that we choose this method."

What he said made Jiraiya stunned.

You kid really lied. It was obviously you who suggested the night visit to Kakashi. This is great. Once we got there, it was my suggestion.

However, he couldn't help but admit this situation, so he just nodded and smiled at Kakashi:

"Beichen is right. After all, you are Minato's most valued disciple... However, I have to say that the results of this visit still make me feel relieved."

Hearing Jiraiya mention Minato-sensei, Kakashi's iceberg face finally changed a little, and his eyes looking at Jiraiya became much softer.

He used to think that his master could really be so ruthless. Even though the teacher had been dead for so many years, he still ignored Konoha, but now it seems that he still thinks about the village and them after all. Human.

Thinking of this, Kakashi bowed slightly to Jiraiya and said calmly:

"Thank you for your concern, Jiraiya-senpai. Everything is actually fine here."

It was true that he looked quite calm when he spoke, but when the words came out, there was a faint tremor.

fine?How could it be okay.

His father, his teacher, his companions... left him one after another. It would be unreasonable to say that he did not have any doubts about his fate.

If he hadn't had doubts about his fate and felt that accidents would happen to people who were too close to him, he wouldn't have kept himself closed in the ANBU all these years and forced himself not to interact with other people.

Otherwise, with his iconic silver hair, the Sharingan hidden under the mask, and the Chidori who can clearly hear a fight for miles around, anyone with an IQ over 60 will He won't be allowed to stay in ANBU.

Seeing Kakashi's appearance, Jiraiya finally felt something, and gently reached out and patted his shoulder:

"You have really worked hard these years."

Kakashi seemed quite uncomfortable facing Jiraiya's concern. After being dull for a long time, he bowed to Jiraiya again:

"Thank you very much for your concern. If there is nothing else, please come back."

Kakashi is not a fool. How could he have heard about the relationship between Tsunade Jiraiya and Beichen, as well as the discord between the three of them and the top management of Konoha?

Kakashi's position for himself is that he belongs to the Hokage family after all, or the family that protects Konoha.

After personally ending the life of Nohara Rin, whom Obito entrusted to his care.

He did fall into a period of confusion for a long time.

During those days, Kakashi was the real mission tool, a walking zombie without emotions.

But the subsequent death of Namikaze Minato made him understand many truths.

After witnessing his teacher giving up his life to protect the entire village, Kakashi was still unwilling to deal with others and continued to close himself off.

But he knew very well what he had to protect!

The teacher died on the night of the Nine-Tails to protect Konoha.

Obito died in the war to protect Konoha.

Lin died in her own hands in order to prevent the Three-Tails from exploding in Konoha. In fact, she was also trying to protect Konoha!

His companions are all fighting for the same dream and even giving their lives. Kakashi feels that he should also bear this responsibility on his shoulders.

For him, who is determined to protect Konoha, although Jiraiya and others have noble status, they are ultimately the source of a series of turmoil in Konoha.

Therefore, as a member of the Hokage family, he did not think that meeting the three people in front of him in the middle of the night was a good sign, nor did he think that their purpose was simply to see how his mental state was.

Seeing Kakashi issuing an order to expel them somewhat abruptly, Beichen and the other three looked at each other and smiled unconsciously.

It's not that Kakashi's behavior is ridiculous, but that they really didn't find the wrong person.

They can understand Kakashi's mood at this time, and it is precisely because they can understand Kakashi's mood that they understand that Kakashi and they are actually the same kind of people, but now he still has A layer of fog shrouded the place.

When they helped Kakashi clear up the fog in front of them, they believed that Kakashi would stand on their side.
