Hokage: The little fox picked up by the Hatake family

Today is new year.

Saaki's hand was held tightly by Kakashi, for fear that she would get lost on this busy day.

Zaoji, on the other hand, looked curiously at the crowded streets and the various stalls on the roadside.

She had never seen such a scene.

On the first New Year's Day when his father was alive, he didn't take her out because she was still young.

In the second year after that, she wandered around, and with the outbreak of the war, this kind of New Year's event might not be possible.

This year, he was adopted by Hatake Sakumo before the New Year. Coupled with the end of the war, although Konoha's New Year this year was not prosperous, it was very lively, and everyone's face showed the relief that the war was over.

Zaoji looked curiously at the things on the surrounding stalls.

"Want to eat Saaki?" Kakashi asked, looking sideways at Saaki.

"think."

Zaoki spoke directly and rudely.

Because Hatake Sakumo went drinking with his friends today, Kakashi took Saki to the annual party.

Therefore, without the elders around, Zao Ji naturally showed his true nature, and would not say that he didn't want to just because he was pretending to be sensible.

Kakashi, who was very aware of Saki's nature, nodded, and then took her to the peripheral stalls to buy things.

Along the way, Kakashi picked up a bunch of things in his hands.

While eating the meatballs, Saaki continued to look at the stalls around him curiously.

"Saaki, be careful not to go too far." Kakashi shouted to Saaki in front of him while holding a bunch of things.

"I know." Zaoji responded without looking back.

Kakashi looked at her appearance and sighed helplessly.

However, his feet were still a little faster, and he kept up with Zaoji, who was still looking at him curiously.

It wasn't until late at night that Kakashi returned home with a feeling of unfinished business.

Looking at Zaoji who looked very sleepy but managed to cheer up.

Kakashi couldn't help but feel a little funny.

After taking her to wash up, he let Saaki lie down on the bed. After covering her with the quilt, Kakashi left the room.

Then I saw Hatake Sakumo who came back drunk.

"Eh? Why are there three brats? Why are they still moving around?" Hatake Sakumo looked drunkenly at Kakashi, who had a twitching corner of his mouth in front of him.

Then he slapped the air next to Kakashi and said in a serious tone: "Stop moving, it makes me dizzy to see him moving around."

Kakashi looked at Hatake Sakumo's appearance, and the corners of his mouth twitched even more.

Then Kakashi watched Hatake Sakumo fall down on the sofa with precision, and fell asleep within a few seconds.

"..."

"Smelly old man, why are you drinking so much?"

Kakashi was speechless. He took out a blanket from his room and covered Sakumo Hatake who was sleeping on the sofa, then yawned and went back to the room.

wake up the next day

Hatake Sakumo rubbed his sore neck and head that had a headache due to a hangover.

Come on, I won’t drink so much next time.

After entering the room, taking a shower and changing clothes, Hatake Sakumo finally felt relieved.

Then I discovered, where are the two little ones at home?

At this time, there was a small river next to Konoha. For some unknown reason, the surface of the river was not frozen.

Saaki squatted by the river and stared at Kakashi who was catching fish on the frozen river, and pointed in a direction.

"there."

Kakashi looked in the direction of Zaoji's finger, and sure enough he saw a fat fish under the ice.

The big fish was still wandering slowly in the water. The next second, the ice above its head shattered. It was quickly caught and knocked unconscious by Kakashi and thrown onto the shore.

(Big Fish: What just happened?)

I was very happy when I saw the big fat fish being thrown ashore.

Suddenly Kakashi raised his head and looked at a bush with vigilance. There was a lot of snow piled on the grass. At this time, it seemed that a lot of snow had fallen on the ground due to the activities of the creatures inside.

Saaki followed Kakashi's gaze.

"Who? Come out!"

Kakashi immediately went ashore and protected Saki behind him.

Saaki, on the other hand, hid behind Kakashi and stuck out his little head to stare curiously at the grass.

Compared to Saki's curiosity, Kakashi was wary.

Although this place was not far from Konoha, it did not mean that it was absolutely safe. Therefore, Kakashi was already on alert before he was sure who was coming.

"That, I, I didn't mean it."

A little boy wearing green tights and a watermelon head walked out of the grass.

"..."?_??This is early age

"..."?_?This is Kakashi

It seemed that he felt that his behavior was unpleasant, so the little boy with the watermelon head seemed particularly nervous.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you. I was just curious as to why there was someone here and wanted to see who it was. I'm sorry!"

The little boy with the watermelon head bowed ninety degrees towards the two of them.

Now it was Saki and Kakashi's turn to be nervous.

They really can't stand this bow.

"No, we were just catching fish. When we heard the noise, we thought it was the enemy. You don't have to apologize." Kakashi looked at the watermelon-headed boy in green tights with a headache.

"Is catching fish in winter? Is it a kind of spiritual practice? Can I come with you?" The little boy with watermelon head asked a series of questions after hearing Kakashi's words.

Kakashi raised his forehead and said, "No."

"Just catch fish and grill it." Saaki added.

Only then did the watermelon-headed boy notice that there was a girl behind Kakashi.

The moment he saw this girl, he suddenly felt his heart being stabbed.

Good, so cute!

When Zaoji looked at the little boy with the watermelon head, his eyes turned into pure blue gem eyes, and then quickly recovered.

Looking at the little boy with the watermelon head, Zaoji tilted his head and was a little confused. Why was this man's past all about training?

Seeing Zaoji staring at him, the watermelon-headed boy immediately said: "Hello! My name is Metkai! Please give me your advice!"

Saaki glanced at him a few times, then said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Kisaragi Saaki."

Kakashi looked at Saki's appearance and suddenly felt a little unhappy. Why hadn't she ever been so kind to him?

So an unhappy Kakashi looked at Gai and said, "Hatake Kakashi."

Then I went back to the river to continue catching fish.

Kai saw this and thought about it, then followed him into the river.

While Kakashi had to point out where the fish were earlier, Kai quickly caught three or four fish where an ice hole was knocked out.

Kakashi, who was still looking for fish on the side:...

Zaoji looked at the fish on the shore, and then showed a sweet smile to Kai: "The fish is enough, thank you, brother Kai."

"No, you're welcome!" Kai immediately blushed and said.

Zaoji saw Kakashi coming ashore, and then said again: "Brother Kakashi, please help me grill the fish."

Kakashi glanced at her, then sighed.

Come on, this guy dares to show his true nature only in front of himself. What can he do?I can only pamper her, she is my sister after all.

Reluctantly, he picked up the stunned fish on the ground. Because he had been using chakra to separate the river water, he was fine.

But when I saw Kai in a green tights, I was speechless. Isn't this guy afraid of the cold in winter?

I went directly into the river without chakra to separate it, and it didn't look cold yet.

"What's wrong?" Kai came up from the river and looked at Kakashi in confusion and asked.

"...It's okay." Kakashi looked around and said, "Can you pick up some dry firewood? We are going to grill fish."

"Okay! Make sure to complete the task!" Kai heard Kakashi's words and immediately went to collect firewood.

Kakashi twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Kai who was full of enthusiasm. He seemed to... just ask him to help collect firewood...

Looking back at Saki who was sitting obediently, Kakashi found a big tree stump for her, swept away the snow on it, then spread a dry cloth and let her sit properly.

As for the grilled fish, he said that she just needed to wait quietly. As for the reason...

It's hard to say.

Zaoji obediently sat on the wooden stake and watched the two of them killing fish and lighting a fire.

When Hatake Sakumo came over with the ninja dogs, he saw the three little ones eating happily.

"..." I've been in a panic for a long time and you two made a new friend with this grilled fish?
