The main Hokage man will only hinder my speed in making hand seals

Konoha 51 years.

The Third Ninja World War finally ended last year. Konoha suffered heavy casualties in this war, and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen resigned.

The yellow flash who made his mark on the battlefield, Minato Namikaze, became the fourth Hokage.

The brutal war has caused considerable losses to every hidden village. After the baptism of blood, today's peace seems so rare and precious.

Under the leadership of the Fourth Hokage, Konoha slowly began to recover, and everything was moving towards a better future.

In late summer and early autumn, the rain always comes so frequently.

The dark sky and heavy clouds indicate that a heavy rain is about to come.

There was already moisture in the air and pedestrians on the street were hurrying, all trying to find a place to shelter from the rain.

Heavy rain fell, and Konoha became hazy under the rain.

A thin figure stood in front of Konoha's memorial.

A stable life did not erase people’s pain, but instead hid the heaviness in their hearts.

Kakashi stared at the name on the stone tablet in a daze.

[Kakashi…]

The voice in his ear kept calling him and questioning him.

【Why……】

The cold rain and tears mixed together, and he seemed to be back in that night, or rather, he had never left there at all.

A bloody taste rose in his mouth, just like the smell that seeped into the mask that night. Kakashi covered his mouth and began to dry heave.

The smell of blood lingering in his nose became stronger and stronger, but the blood on his hands could not be washed away no matter how hard he tried.

[Kakashi, why don't you protect Rin? ]

[Kakashi, why do you want to kill me? ]

[Kakashikakashikakashi…]

Kakashi squatted down in pain, curled up his body, and covered his ears, trying to isolate himself from his companions' questions.

I’m sorry.

The rain above his head was blocked and someone held an umbrella for him.

A few strands of hair hung on his body, and the faint scent of osmanthus diluted some of the bloody smell.

Kakashi raised his head dully, and a face that often appeared in his nightmares came close to him.

"?" Qinghe bent down and observed him, a little curious: "What are you doing?"

He looks like he's about to break. Is Konoha's feng shui so unhealthy?

"..." Kakashi didn't answer, nor did he dodge.

He thought, if she was an enemy, then just kill him.

"Hey, it's been more than a year, do you still want to take someone in?"

Haruka is very busy. Not only does she have to reshape the bodies of Madara and Izuna, she also has to fix the time and space anchor points and connect the channels to the other worlds.

Lin has been awake for several months, but he still hasn't gone to pick her up. Does that mean he doesn't want her anymore?

If you don't want it, she will really take you in.

Leading people? Kakashi's eyes wavered. Oh, right, he hadn't taken back Lin's body yet.

What did she mean? To provoke him?

Qinghe suspected that he was poisoned and silenced in Konoha, so she patiently asked him again: "Don't want it anymore? Nod, shake your head."

"give me back……"

Kakashi regained some fighting spirit, but his weak body could not support his excitement.

Just as he was about to get up, his vision suddenly went dark and he lost consciousness.

Fainted? Haruka looked at Kakashi who fell to the ground wet and hesitated for a moment.

It's so dirty, I don't want to pick him up at all.

In the end, Haruka was unable to do it, and instead used puppet strings to temporarily take over control of Kakashi's body.

-

"Kakashi!"

"If you hear anything, answer me!"

"Kakashi, where have you been?"

Uzumaki Kushina shouted as she searched, unable to hide the worry on her face.

It is common to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder in war, but Kakashi's situation is not optimistic.

He blamed himself for the death of his companions and was trapped in hallucinations.

Since the end of World War III, he has been receiving psychological counseling in the hospital, but a year has passed and the results have been mediocre.

Who knew that today when the doctor wasn't paying attention, Kakashi ran away from the hospital.

"Where could that child have run to?" Uzumaki Kushina had already searched every place she could think of.

Uchiha Mikoto ran over from the other side of the street. She excitedly told Uzumaki Kushina: "Kakashi has been found. He has been sent back to the hospital."

"Really? Is he okay? No, I have to go there quickly." Uzumaki Kushina said, quickening her pace and preparing to run.

Uchiha Mikoto supported her, her tone full of helplessness: "Kushina, don't get excited, watch out for your stomach!"

Uzumaki Kushina touched her round belly and smiled shyly: "Oh, Naruto is so well behaved, I forgot I was still pregnant."

"You." Uchiha Mikoto accompanied Uzumaki Kushina to the hospital: "Kakashi is fine, he fainted due to low blood sugar."

When the two of them arrived at the hospital, Kakashi had already woken up and was staring at the white-haired girl beside the bed.

"..."

"..."

The two were silent for a long time, and finally Kakashi spoke first: "Why... did you save me?"

Qinghe tilted her head in confusion. She didn't understand: "Why can't I save you?"

Kakashi closed his eyes. He didn't want to recall that night again, but he had to face it.

"Don't you hate me?"

That night, what she said sounded like a compliment, but it seemed like a curse and kept appearing in his dreams.

All sacrifices made to protect the village are worth it. We must carry out the will of fire and protect Konoha, even if it means stepping on the corpses of our companions.

Kakashi has always believed this.

The father failed the mission in order to save his companions. No one approved of that behavior and everyone blamed him.

My father died amid rumors in the village.

Obito said that people who break the rules are trash, but people who don't know how to value their companions are even worse than trash.

Obito died trying to save him.

In order to prevent the monster in her body from destroying the village when it went berserk, Lin chose to actively crash into his Chidori.

Lin died for the village.

Therefore, companions are greater than regulations, and the village is greater than companions.

That's what ninjas are like...but is it really right?

Kakashi couldn't figure it out and he was very shaken.

"Why did you say those words to me then?"

Was he mocking the Will of Fire? Or was he mocking him for killing his companions to protect the village?

"It was obviously you who started it first." Qinghe didn't want to take the blame.

While yelling at her, he didn't mention at all that he would use Lightning Release to attack first.

Kakashi was stunned: "I...I'm sorry."

"Rin...let her stay outside." Kakashi gave up.

He felt that letting Lin be buried outside Konoha was the best ending. This village was too strange, human life was not as important as the ninja code.

Qinghe found Kakashi very strange. She helped him save him but then he didn't want her help. Yet he fought with her for a corpse.

Could it be that he actually prefers corpses?

"Really?"

There is no such thing as three times. Qinghe has confirmed it to him three times, and he can't regret it now.

Kakashi was heartbroken. He didn't know how to explain to her. It wasn't that he didn't want it, but he wanted Lin to rest in peace.

The door of the ward was opened, and Uzumaki Kushina trotted in with her big belly.

"Kakashi, where have you been? You can't run around in your health condition." After worrying, Uzumaki Kushina became a little angry.

How could he be so careless about his body?

Kakashi didn't expect Uzumaki Kushina to come to him with a big belly. He lowered his head guiltily: "Sorry, I won't do it next time."

Uzumaki Kushina sighed helplessly.

She looked at Haruka and said in a friendly manner: "Did you find Kakashi? Thank you."

Qinghe shook his head and smiled: "I just came to see him for something."

"Thank you too." Uzumaki Kushina smiled heartily.

She noticed that Qinghe seemed to be looking at her belly, so she invited him generously: "Curious? Do you want to touch it?"

"May I?"

No matter how much medical knowledge she has, Qinghe feels that being able to grow a new life in a small belly is a great thing.

"Of course, Naruto is a good boy." Uzumaki Kushina took Haruka's hand and placed it on her belly.

"Naruto is his name, from…"

Qinghe took over her words: "The protagonist of Jianyi Ninden."

Uzumaki Kushina's eyes showed some surprise: "You have seen it too? After Minato saw it, he thought the protagonist was super handsome, so he named our child this."

She touched her belly, with a sweet but helpless smile on her face: "With such an immature father, Naruto will probably inherit this from him, right?"

"It would be great if he was more handsome. He will grow up to be a great man."

"That's right." Uzumaki Kushina touched her belly and seemed to be talking to herself: "Naruto, you must be as handsome and gentle as your father."

The rain outside the window stopped, and the sun couldn't wait to break through the clouds, and the sunlight poured in from the window.

"The rain has stopped. I should go home. Goodbye." Qinghe stood up and bowed slightly to the three people in the ward.

After Haruka left, Uchiha Mikoto also quickly said goodbye. Her little son Sasuke was waiting for her at home.

Uzumaki Kushina suddenly remembered: "Oh, I haven't asked her name yet."

We were obviously getting along so well, but in the end I forgot to ask her whose child she was.

"What's your name?" Namikaze Minato walked in from outside the ward.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Kakashi on the hospital bed was fine. "That's good. Wait until you feel better before going out, Kakashi."

Kakashi nodded, "I see."

Uzumaki Kushina jumped onto Namikaze Minato, and he caught her in a panic, almost breaking into a cold sweat.

"Minato! I suddenly thought of a big problem!" Uzumaki Kushina hugged Namikaze Minato angrily.

Namikaze Minato's heart suddenly rose. He carefully examined Uzumaki Kushina: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"I say, should the child be named Naruto in the future? What if it's a girl?" Uzumaki Kushina just realized this problem.

"So that's what it is." Minato Namikaze thought it was something else.

Uzumaki Kushina felt that this was a very serious question: "You don't want to call me Naruko just to be perfunctory, do you?"

"This..." Namikaze Minato scratched his hair embarrassedly: "My naming skills are just like that, why don't you let Kushina decide?"

Uzumaki Kushina held her chin with one hand and began to think: "Hmm..."

She tilted her head to the left: "Scream..."

She touched her chin and tilted her head to the right again: "Scream..."

The sunlight from the window fell on Uzumaki Kushina's shoulders, like a gentle hug.

She thought of it, and excitedly held Minato Namikaze's hand: "Minato, what do you think about calling me Haruka? Like a sunny day, always warm and peaceful."

"Uzumaki Haruka?" Namikaze Minato looked at Uzumaki Kushina lovingly: "That sounds good. She will definitely become a girl as cute as Kushina."
