Hokage: The little fox picked up by the Hatake family

When Shingo Watanabe came back, he opened the ward door and saw this scene.

The cute little girl with white hair was sitting quietly on the chair, and from time to time she would clumsily wipe the lips of the unconscious boy with a cotton swab dipped in water.

Saoki put down the cup and cotton swab and turned to look at the door of the ward.

"Watanabe-sensei."

Saaki's voice was very soft, but Shingo Watanabe heard it clearly.

However, when hearing Saaki call him "teacher", Watanabe Shingo looked a little lonely.

"Zaoji... I'm sorry... maybe I'm not suitable to be a teacher."

Zaoji looked at him quietly.

Watanabe Shingo stood at the door with his head lowered: "As the leader of the team, I didn't notice that the client was hiding the mission level, so I only focused on the enemy and forgot about the three students..."

"The result...the result was that Douna and Kazuo..."

"I...I shouldn't be the leader..."

Watanabe Shingo lowered his head. He didn't know how to face his sister, the only remaining student. As a chuunin, his strength was actually close to that of a jounin.

But he really didn't expect that the client would hide the mission level this time, which would lead to intelligence discrepancies.

Although they had quickly called for support from Konoha, they still could not save the other two students and even failed to find their bodies.

In order to kill the enemy Jonin, they used the detonating talisman to commit suicide together with the enemy.

The reason why Kakashi was able to survive was because he was already stronger than the other two, and because he was too young, he was slightly despised by the enemy chuunin.

As for Kakashi, a student, he didn't have much communication with him because he couldn't teach Kakashi anything.

And because he is the son of Hatake White Fang, Shingo Watanabe has nothing to teach him. In addition, Kakashi's temperament is too cold outside, and he has little contact with him.

But that doesn't mean that he won't be responsible for him.

He is his leading teacher. No matter what the students are like, he should fulfill the word "teacher" well.

Watanabe Shingo accidentally saw Kakashi taking Saki for a stroll in Konoha. He knew clearly that Kakashi was not really too indifferent, but his indifference was external.

Kakashi also occasionally takes Saoki to participate in their missions in Konoha. They have also seen another side of Kakashi.

After this period of time, everyone's relationship is no longer as unfamiliar as before.

Shingo Watanabe thought that their team would slowly get better.

Unexpectedly, such an accident would lead to the death of two of his students, and one student was still seriously injured and in a coma.

Saaki looked at Watanabe Shingo who blamed himself and spoke softly.

"Teacher Watanabe, you don't have to blame yourself."

Watanabe Shingo was stunned for a moment, pulled out of his self-blaming mood, and looked at Saki.

"Ninja is synonymous with high danger. False reporting of missions is the client's problem. Why should you impose the consequences of everything on yourself?"

Watanabe Shingo stared blankly at the cute little girl in front of him, and he couldn't help but listen carefully to the truth she said.

Zaoji's sapphire-colored eyes stared at the scar on the young man's side.

"Of course, you are also at fault. You are not strong enough. Since you want to protect all students, it is your fault that you are not strong enough."

"When you are strong enough, the client's lie about the mission level will not be a problem that separates you from each other, nor will it be impossible to make corresponding countermeasures because of the lie about the mission level. If you don't want the other two students If you are still sad because you blame yourself so much after death, then cheer up, become stronger, and live with their hope."

"Mr. Watanabe, do you think they would like to see you spend your life blaming yourself like this?"

Shingo Watanabe stared blankly at the four-year-old child in front of him. Looking into those sapphire-colored eyes, Shingo Watanabe seemed to suddenly see Tona and Kazuo.

"Teacher Watanabe, don't be sad. We don't blame you. It's our own lack of strength. We will practice well in the next life."

"Teacher Watanabe, it's me who has embarrassed you. Don't be sad. Tell me, if a man doesn't shed tears easily, he will die. At worst, he will be reincarnated in the next life."

"Teacher, we are leaving. You must live well. If there is an afterlife, we will still be your students."

"Teacher, although this is your first time leading a team, in my heart, you are the best teacher!"

"Teacher! Goodbye!"

"Duna... Kazuo..." Watanabe Shingo knelt on the ground, covering his chest that was filled with sadness, emotion and sour emotions.

At that moment, he seemed to have seen the two of them saying goodbye to him and heard what they said to him.

Saaki watched silently as Shingo Watanabe knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, his eyes still sapphire-colored.

She turned to look out the window, and saw two figures that disappeared and appeared, smiling and waving goodbye to her.

They were still saying thank you silently.

Saaki looked at Shingo Watanabe again. This time, she saw Shingo Watanabe's changed future.

He no longer became decadent because of drinking and drowned in Konoha's river that swelled due to the melting snow.

He saw it, a new future belonging to Shingo Watanabe.

The future can be changed.

Uncle Hatake, I seem to have... found out how to truly change a person's future.

Saaki looked back at Kakashi, who was still unconscious on the bed, and gently held his bandaged hand.

At this time, Matsuki Kuki had already rushed over, and she was asking Shingo Watanabe how he was anxiously.

Saki's eyes had returned to blue-purple. Watching Kuki Matsuki inspecting Shingo Watanabe's wounds, he chuckled, sat on the chair and started reading.

She didn't notice the fingers of Kakashi's other hand move slightly.
