Hokage: The little fox picked up by the Hatake family

As night approached, Saaki, who had not waited for Kakashi to come back, was a little confused.

No matter how busy Kakashi is these days or if he is sent on a mission outside the village, he will always come back before dark.

But then I thought about it, maybe I was too busy today, so I continued to withdraw my thoughts and read a book. When it got a little late again, Zaoji couldn't sit still.

After thinking for a while, I finally put away the book and went out.

……

Konoha Hospital

in the ward

Saaki looked at Kakashi, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, and reached out to hold his hand. On the surface, his emotions did not change, but in his heart, he was thinking about how to cure it.

She knew clearly that Kakashi was hurt physically and mentally by Itachi's Tsukuyomi, but she also knew that Itachi came back just to show off to other ninjas who thought he had defected. He chose to stay in Akatsuki as an undercover agent, not only to show off to Konoha and others. For people to watch, it also needs to be performed for 'Madara Uchiha' who is probably hiding in the dark.

But, this was too heavy a blow.

Saaki held Kakashi's cold hand and found that he had no way to deal with this kind of mental injury.

At this time, the ward door was suddenly pushed open.

Jiraiya and Naruto pushed the door open and entered.

The three of them looked at each other like this for a few seconds.

"Early age?"

"Sister Saaki?"

"..."

Before he could ask why Saki was here, Jiraiya noticed that Saki was holding Kakashi's hand. His eyes looked back and forth on the faces of the unconscious Kakashi and Saki, and then he showed a clear look. expression.

"Oh~"

Zao Ji blushed a little at Jiraiya's appearance, but he still didn't let go. After all, this was not something that was unreasonable.

Naruto looked at Jiraiya who suddenly changed his face in confusion.

Then he looked at Saki, who was holding Kakashi's hand, and didn't understand the scene in front of him.

Jiraiya walked to Kakashi's bedside: "There are currently no medical ninjas in Konoha that can treat Kakashi's injury."

"..."

Zaoji was silent and didn't speak.

Looking at Saki who didn't speak, Jiraiya suddenly asked: "Do you want to come with us to find Tsunade?"

Saaki looked up at Jiraiya.

"We have just agreed to find Tsunade. Tsunade seems to have appeared in the Country of Yu recently."

"Although Uchiha Fugaku has most likely won the position of Hokage, there are still many injured in Konoha who need to be treated by Tsunade."

After hearing Jiraiya's words, Saaki did not agree immediately, but asked instead.

"You don't trust me to stay in Konoha, do you?"

There was no sadness in Zaoji's eyes due to being feared by acquaintances.

"I……"

Jiraiya was a little confused by Zaoki's overly straightforward words and didn't know how to speak.

Indeed, for the early Ji who appeared in Orochimaru's base a few years ago and suddenly disappeared, now he suddenly appeared in Konoha.

He had already discovered that Zao Ji was not as harmless as he appeared.

Perhaps, from the beginning, everyone thought that Zaoji was a weak child, and never thought about what this child's true face was like.

Jiraiya suddenly laughed at himself: "Speaking of which, half of my life has passed. A disciple cannot be a good disciple, a friend cannot be a good friend, and a teacher cannot be a good teacher."

But then Jiraiya's eyes became firm: "But, I will use my life to protect Konoha and the people I cherish. I will never allow it to be destroyed."

Seeing Jiraiya's appearance, Saaki stood up, looked sideways at Naruto who was confused, and suddenly smiled.

"I don't have much hatred towards Konoha. After all, my hatred lies with Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen. Now that one of them is dead and the other... is missing, I won't have much hostility towards Konoha anymore. Besides, Ka Cassie loves Konoha."

Saaki walked up to Naruto and squatted down, putting his hands on his shoulders.

Seeing this, Jiraiya took out a kunai and pointed it at Saki with a vigilant expression.

"Eh? What are you doing, lustful immortal?"

Naruto obviously didn't understand how wrong the atmosphere between Jiraiya and Saaki was at the moment, and he was puzzled by Jiraiya's behavior.

Saaki ignored Jiraiya's behavior, but smiled at Naruto and asked, "Naruto, do you want to meet your parents?"
