Hokage: The little fox picked up by the Hatake family

"Um……"

Saoki frowned and looked up at Lin. The moment Saoki raised his head, Lin retracted the aunt's smile on her face, looked at Saoki seriously and smiled a little shyly.

"I'm not sure."

"?"▌°Д°;)っ

"?"⊙﹏⊙

"?"(￣-￣)

Neither of them expected such an answer from Zao Ji.

Saaki thought for a while and then said: "If I really need to say something, I might choose...um...Kakashi."

"!"(⊙o⊙)

"!"⊙▽⊙

"!"∑（?〇o〇）

Lin, who received Zaoji's answer, could no longer control her expression at this moment.

"Oh~"

Kakashi's ears were already red after hearing Saaki's answer.

Lin stood next to Saaki and continued to ask.

"Why do you think Kakashi is your type?"

Ruyue Zeyi also floated over at the same time, how could he miss such a thing as gossip.

"Well...it's pretty good to me, and I have a pretty good feeling for Kakashi, so I should be able to accept someone like Kakashi."

After Zaoji finished speaking, he nodded, feeling that what he said was correct.

Lin and Kisaragi Zeichi were silent at the same time.

My child, are you simply used to Kakashi?This is not the type of person who likes Kakashi! Hey!

However, compared to Lin and Kisaragi Zeichi, who instantly understood the meaning of Saaki's words, Kakashi only heard Saaki saying that he could accept himself.

So, this means that no matter how hard he works, he still has a chance, right?Right!

Kakashi stood there, obviously delighted.

Saaki didn't notice that something was wrong with Kakashi at the moment, but suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Lin and Kisarazawa nodded, and Kakashi turned to look at Saki: "On the road... pay attention to safety on the road."

Saaki obviously didn't look shy because he said he liked him in front of Kakashi. He nodded calmly as usual.

"it is good."

Then after Saaki left, Kakashi still stood there, staring at Naruto and Sasuke who were still trying to climb the tree not far away, as if he was a teacher who particularly cared about his students.

However, Lin and Kisaragi Zeichi could clearly feel the joy coming from Kakashi and looked at each other.

Good guy, Kakashi, is this a self-defeat?The two of them still didn't see that Zaoji's feelings for Kakashi were in the aspect of love.

……

Kakashi took the three little ones to train in the forest of Wave Country for several days. As for the bridge repair agreement with Tazuna at the beginning, well... Zabuza, a hard-working worker, was busy supervising.

(Zabuza: I thank you for remembering me?_? Shiro: Zabuza-sama! I am still with you!)

However, before returning to Konoha, Kakashi discussed with the three little ones about concealing their encounter with Lin and Saki.

Although the three little ones were confused, and they were confused about Kakashi's irregular and unreliable decision, they still nodded obediently.

after all.

One is a 'fox demon' who is disliked by most of the civilians in Konoha.

One is a little orphan who is filled with hatred after experiencing "genocide".

One is a good girl who seems to obey the teacher and has very good grades before graduation (?)

Therefore, the three little ones had no idea of ​​telling anyone about their meeting with Lin and Zaoki. It was also because the three little ones didn't know how much influence their whereabouts and existence had on the top management of Konoha.

……

The name of Cardo's original company has not changed, but during this time everyone knew that the person in charge of the company had changed.

But no one knew who the new manager was. They only knew that one of the agents of the new manager was a renegade nin from the original Kirigakure Village, and no one dared to take action against this replaced company.

After all, all the forces that took action have already seen the methods of the mysterious person in charge, and those forces that have not taken action but have ideas have all stopped thinking.

In fact, if they can't beat other people who have worked for them before, let alone the industry they switch to later, they still can't do it, which really can only stop them from thinking.

However, in the company office at this time, the mysterious manager who was feared by a large number of forces was lying on a recliner that was incompatible with the office furnishings and eating meatballs.

Zabuza frowned as he processed the documents. The more he looked at them, the more irritated his subordinates became.

Then he stood up suddenly and shouted at Saaki: "I want to strike!"

Zaoji took a bite of the meatball and turned to look at him: "Okay."

"..." Zabuza paused, his tone full of surprise: "You won't stop it?"

Saaki slowly ate the meatballs, but the words that came out of his mouth pierced Zabuza's heart.

"Are you willing to?"

"Are you willing to leave this environment? Now many people know that you do things for me. You should know it." Zaoji put down the signature of eating meatballs in his hand and stood up from the recliner.

He turned to look at Zabuza.

"In order to maintain friendly relations with me, who is standing behind the reformed shipping company, the new Mizukage of Kirikage Village has canceled the pursuit of your identity as a traitor some time ago."

(There is no specific time when Terumi Mei became a Mizukage, but she should have already become a Mizukage when Team [-] left the village for the first time to do a mission, so this book chooses to become a Mizukage a few years before the official plot begins. At this point in time of Mizukage, of course, if you don’t agree, it’s still the same sentence, you get rid of it)

Zabuza stared at Saki's face and clenched his fists, but didn't make too many moves.

Saaki didn't care about Zabuza's emotions at the moment and just continued to speak.

"Let's not talk about what attitude the new Mizukage will show to you, the rebellious ninja, once you leave my protective umbrella. Let's talk about it first, Shiro."

Zaoki walked up to Zabuza and asked with a smile: "Do you think Shiro likes the current life of busy learning medical ninjutsu and distinguishing herbs, or does he miss the past of wandering around with you, killing people and offering bounties on them? What’s the day of the mission?”

"Perhaps Haku will obey your orders and will not disobey your orders, but Zabuza, ask yourself, do you really not care about Haku as you appear?"

Zabuza clenched his fists a little more as he looked at the white-haired woman in front of him who was stabbing his heart every word.

He couldn't answer the question from Zaoji's mouth.

Perhaps before, he would have said without any care that Bai was just his killing tool.

But now he can't do it. He doesn't know when he started to really care about Shiro. Shiro doesn't like to kill people. His heart has always been soft. Zabuza has always known it.

He has never forced Bai Bai to kill anyone, but he has never shown any concern for Bai Bai before, and he was very indifferent to Bai Bai on the surface. Before, he thought that what Zao Ji said to him to take more care of Bai Bai was just her own cultivation. Bai became his heir.

It seems that this is not the case now. The person in front of him is as invisible to him as he was a few years ago. He obviously has no chakra, but is too strong. And just by meeting him, it seems that he has been seen through by this person.

Zabuza stared at the smiling Saaki, clenching his fists.
