Naruto: The Story of Kakashi: Skull of the Sea of ​​Blood

The three of them left the hotel and wandered around the shopping street, still the same as yesterday, no disturbance, quiet and peaceful.

They passed by a tofu shop, and there was a chubby woman with a broom cleaning the garbage in front of the door, and the wind was strong in late spring, and it always blew dirt.

Further on, two men were chatting in front of the tavern.

As soon as I looked up, I saw a family of three in front of me, the couple walking side by side, and the child was carried on the shoulder by the father.

Ning Ci vaguely felt a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange.

"Oh, I seem to be a little thirsty, there is a dango shop here, let's go in and have some tea." Kakashi looked at the sign standing in the doorway with two huge words written on it—dangoko, and he began to feel a little thirsty.

"Kakashi-sensei go in with Sakura, I'll wander around the street casually."

"Okay, then come back to us after you finish shopping, pay attention to what is strange."

"Got it."

Kakashi and Sakura entered the dango shop, and Ninji walked down the shopping street alone with an indescribable doubt.

He looked left and right, trying to find something unusual beneath the surface of this calm.

He walked very slowly, shop by shop, when suddenly a familiar and strange figure broke into his line of sight.

Ning Ci looked at the figure in disbelief, and stayed in place for a while, a pair of eyes fixed on the middle-aged man. The man had the same white eyes as himself, his hair hung behind his back, and his face was still the same as at that time, young and determined.

Ninji looked at him, he was standing in the doorway of a small shop in a gray kimono, as if noticing someone looking at him, he also slowly turned his upper body to look over to this side.

"Father...," Ning Ci called out in disbelief.

He is not mistaken, this man is his father, although the memory of his father is only four years old, but he can be sure that this person is his father, and he will not be wrong.

"Father!" Ning Ci shouted at him, he ran towards the man, and suddenly stopped a few steps away from him, as if he was talking about homesickness, he really saw his father, but he didn't dare to get closer again, for fear that it was a phantom.

The man put down the headband in his hand and looked at the child in front of him seriously, and after looking at it for a while, his gaze became gentle, "Ning Ci, you have grown so tall."

There was hot liquid filling his eye sockets, and Ning Ci felt that his nasal passages were sour, and countless emotions were gathered in his chest, making him have mixed feelings.

"Father,"

he didn't seem to say anything else, but called his father cautiously and thoughtfully.

The owner of the small shop looked at the man and asked: "Mr. Hinata, the son is here just in time to try it on, Ning Ci, this child looks thoughtful, and he looks good in any color of headband."

Hinata Hinata agreed with the shopkeeper's words, smiled and picked up the headband again and looked at it, Ninji's skin followed his mother, very fair, and the white headband was very lining him.

Because there is the mark of a caged bird on his forehead, the people who have separated the family never let their forehead be bare, and when they don't wear a forehead protector, they will wrap a headband, and Ning Ci's last headband has been worn for a long time, and he wants to buy a new one for him.

Hinata picked up the belt and beckoned Ning Ji to come over, "Come here, father will give you a tryon and see if it fits." Tears

burst out of his eyes at this moment, and Ning Ci tried to suppress his crying, and all the thoughts and pains of these years melted into these tears.

He never cried again from the moment his father left him when he was four years old, until after losing the Chūnin exam to Naruto, Hiashi-sama brought his father's personal letter. After reading his father's personal letter, Ning Ci cried again, crying silently.

The two times I cried after the age of four was because of my father.

It was as if a hand had turned off a tear switch for him, and now, twelve years later, the switch was finally turned on again.

"What are you crying about, have you encountered anything?" Hinata's voice was gentle, and he walked up to Ningji and patted his son's shoulder.

Being able to really feel the weight, the size and shape of his father's hand could also be felt, Ning Ci covetously grabbed that hand, it was the hand that used to like to touch his little head, it was the hand that walked on the road and held himself, it was the hand that taught himself soft boxing on the school field, it was his father's hand.

Isn't his father dead, dying in the conspiracy of the Land of Thunder, dying of self-destruction, sacrificing his precious life to protect his brother and village.

"Ningci, as long as you need a father, your father will always be there."

His father was still warm, just like in his memory, and his gaze towards him was soft and warm, the same as in his memory.

In the distance, there was suddenly a noisy sound, Ning Ci involuntarily looked towards the source of the sound, the city lord and his wife were walking towards this side, the uncle who sold sweet potatoes asked him to taste whether the freshly baked sweet potatoes were sweet or not, and Instant politely declined.

A few more steps, an old woman invited him to eat rice balls wrapped in nori seaweed, and after a hesitation, he reached out and took it.

A few children with carp flags quickly ran past Ning Ci, a boy tripped and fell to the ground, and instantly bent down with his wife to help the little boy up, the little boy ran away while thanking him, and the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled.

Behind, two hair-colored people, one white and one red, were following, and Ning Ci wiped the tears on his face and stood in place blankly.

There was no longer the shadow of his father, and the owner of the small shop said that Hinata had just left, still holding the white headband in his hand, and Ning Ci looked at the headband obsessively, and for a moment he couldn't tell what was illusory and what was reality.

Kakashi and Sakura walked over, Sakura saw the hairband in Ninji's hand and couldn't help laughing, "Ninji, you ran out alone to buy a headband?"

Ning Ci told the truth, "This was bought for me by my father.

"Yes, yes, Hinata-san bought it for Ninji just now."

Sakura suddenly felt a little envious, "Eh, my father has never bought me a headband..."

Kakashi stood aside without saying a word, just a pair of eyes scanning Ninji and Sakura's bodies back and forth. His face was solemn, but the black and blue mask covered most of his face, unnoticed by anyone.

"Well, the headband is also bought, let's keep going, follow and see." Kakashi said.

Instantaneous and Mrs. Instant walked hand in hand on the shopping street, from time to time the townspeople greeted them, they walked into a flower shop, Instantaneous bought Mrs. a large bouquet of blue stars, Mrs. Instant held the flowers in her arms, and smiled at her husband.

"Eh, it looks like he's still a good man." Sakura was envious.

Ninji didn't dare to agree with Sakura's point of view, and his heart was slandered, either buying flowers or being a good man.

Kakashi's eyes were even deeper, the same, exactly the same, was this just a coincidence?
