Hokage: The little fox picked up by the Hatake family

After that day, Shingo Watanabe changed his previous decadent aura and began to actively cooperate with the medical ninja's treatment.

This made Songmu Jiuqi wary of this man for a long time, thinking that he was going to find trouble again, saying that his medical ninjutsu was not good enough.

It turned out not to be the case, so he let down his guard against Shingo Watanabe.

Kakashi woke up that night.

But everyone thought it was the next day, and were surprised that Kakashi woke up so quickly.

That night, there was no one else in bed except Saaki. Therefore, after knowing that Kakashi woke up, Saaki finally let go of his hanging heart.

Although she believed in her pills, she was still afraid that the pills she made were useless when she didn't see Kakashi wake up.

……

One month later

Even if he took the pills he made early, he couldn't make Kakashi get better quickly. The reason is probably because there wasn't enough star energy incorporated into the pills early.

However, there is only so much star power in the early era, and no more can be integrated into it.

Therefore, Kakashi stayed in the hospital bed for a month.

And today is the day Kakashi is discharged from the hospital.

"If the wound still hurts, stay here for a few more days." Saki looked at Kakashi who had packed his things and said.

Kakashi rubbed Saki's head: "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile yet, I'm a ninja."

Saaki said angrily: "It's the ninja who was lying on the bed a while ago and couldn't get off."

"By the way, Mr. Watanabe came here this morning. He stood at the door of the ward and did not come in. Please let me tell you something."

Kakashi stopped and looked at Saki.

"Kakashi, I'm sorry. The teacher is too weak and failed to realize that the mission level was concealed by the client, which caused you to be injured and Yuichi Touna to die. I have thought about it for a long time and I feel that I am not suitable to be a leader at the moment. Teacher, I will go back to the ninja school and start as a teacher, Kakashi, I’m sorry.”

Kakashi listened in silence as Saaki finished retelling Shingo Watanabe's words.

"Does it hurt?"

Saki asked looking at the silent Kakashi.

"A little bit, but that's what ninjas are like, jumping between life and death."

Kakashi took a deep breath, then looked at Saaki and said: "Saaki, let's go home."

Saaki looked into Kakashi's eyes, then nodded.

"Okay, let's go home."

The snowflakes falling slowly outside the window are the first snow of the year.

The new year has arrived in a blink of an eye.

On a snowy morning, Saaki was sitting on the sofa wrapped tightly by Kakashi, next to the small stove prepared by Kakashi.

Saaki stared at the medical book in his hand quietly, while Kakashi was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

This scene is warm and ordinary.

"It's time to eat."

Kakashi came out of the kitchen carrying a plate.

"Okay." Zaoji put down his book and got off the sofa.

"Is there anything you want to eat for lunch?" Kakashi asked, biting into the bread.

"Except meatballs."

When Saaki heard Kakashi's added words, his voice was lowered in his throat, and then he took a bite of the bread gloomily: "Anything is fine."

Kakashi looked at Saki's appearance and said, "Eating too many meatballs is bad for your teeth."

"But the meatballs are delicious." Saaki said seriously.

"I'll take you to eat in two days, okay?" Kakashi said helplessly, "I obviously just ate yesterday."

"Okay!" After hearing Kakashi's words, Saaki returned to normal instantly.

"I will go out to buy some things for the New Year later, and then I will also buy some New Year gifts to give to Kai and Uncle Dai. Teacher Watanabe will also prepare them, and by the way, Master Jiraiya."

After Kakashi finished speaking, he quickly finished the bread in his hand, then picked up the milk on the table and drank it in one gulp.

Saaki glanced at Kakashi and saw that his attention was not on her, so he secretly tried to pour the milk away.

"In early childhood, milk is not allowed to be poured out secretly."

"……Oh."

After Saaki drank the milk with great difficulty, Kakashi took Saaki, who was wrapped into a dumpling, out.

It was still snowing heavily outside the house. Kakashi held an umbrella and walked on the snow while holding Saki's hand.

Although there is heavy snow in the sky, today is the New Year, and everyone in Konoha has not dampened their expectations and enthusiasm for the New Year because of the heavy snow.

Zaoji followed Kakashi around and soon bought all the things.

The heavy snow in the sky also stopped unconsciously, and obviously more people went out.

Kakashi was carrying a lot of things and looked at Saki who was carrying some of the things in front of him and shouted: "Slow down, don't fall."

"understood."

Saaki responded without looking back.

Suddenly he noticed a cold gaze from the side and turned his head to look around.

People were coming and going around, all busy buying new year's goods. Zaoji didn't notice the source of that cold gaze.

Saaki looked away in confusion and looked behind him, only to find that Kakashi had gone somewhere.

"..."

What about Kakashi?

Where did that big man go?

Zaoji stood there and was lost in thought. The crowd coming and going around him did not notice that a child was lost in thought at this time.

And the other side.

When Kakashi realized that Zaoki was missing, he quickly looked for her.

However, carrying a lot of things in his hands hindered his search speed.

Zaoji found a place with less crowds and stood there, watching the people coming and going, searching for traces of Kakashi among them.

"Kisaragi Saaki."
