[Naruto] Raiders of large dogs

"Hey, Kakashi, why are you absent-minded today? This is not what my opponent in life should look like! Youth, youth!"

On the only way to Konoha Village, Kakashi was walking slowly with a ninja in bright green tights with a pot head on his head.

Staring at the unmotivated dead fish eyes, Kakashi put his hands in his pockets and sighed: "Akai, don't you need to rest just after finishing the mission?"

"How can you say such frustrating words! Mere tasks can't beat my vitality!" Akai greeted in a sprinting posture, "Why don't we have a competition and whoever runs back to Konoha first!"

"Then you run well, I will cheer you on." Kakashi said, and took out "Kissing Paradise" from his pocket, planning to watch it while walking.

It has been five days since the wild cat at home went on a mission. Although it has returned to its original life, it always feels like something is missing and I feel a little empty in my heart.

Could it be the legendary feeling of having a pet?Kakashi felt that it was necessary to ask the Inuzuka family for advice.

At this time, Cai Cai was still joking just now, and the two masters couldn't bear to show serious expressions at the same time, calming down and listening to the movement around them.

"Three people? Or towards the village." Akai looked at Kakashi.

"It seems to be in a hurry, there is no hidden whereabouts at all." Kakashi had a bad premonition in his heart.

The two exchanged glances and decided to go up to see who it was.Soon, three figures appeared in the woods not far away. Although their bodies were covered in dust and blood, Kakashi still recognized Anbu's uniform.

The three Anbu also saw Kakashi and Kai, but Anbu, who was running at the front, ignored the two and continued to run straight forward, only the eagle face running behind made a gesture with him.

Kakashi recognized that this was Kujo, an old acquaintance of Anbu, and thought that Yuki might be on a mission with them, but unexpectedly did not find the girl.Suddenly remembering that the wolf-faced Anbu who was running in front seemed to be carrying something, he was startled, and stuffed the book in his hand to Akai who was next to him.

"Hold it for me first, I think of something urgent!" After finishing speaking, he ran towards the route that Anbu and the others had passed without saying a word.

"Hey! You just said you can't run away!" Holding "Kind to Heaven", Akai shouted in the direction of Kakashi, but there was no sign of the silver-haired Jōnin anymore.

Kakashi tried his best to catch up with Anbe who was running in the front. Looking carefully, the stray cat who had been away from home for a few days was hanging on the back of Wolf-faced Anbu unconsciously. There was almost no blood on his face, as if he was going to die at any time .

"Kujo, what's going on?" Kakashi turned to Kujo and asked.

"Something happened, Huoyue was poisoned, and now I have to send her to the medical class for treatment."

"Give her to me." Kakashi ran side by side with Tsuruta, with a rare serious expression on his face.

"Why?" Tsuruta looked at the unexpected visitor angrily. The continuous running and injuries made him exhausted, and his patience dropped a lot.

"I have more physical strength and faster speed, not to mention, I am her guardian." Kakashi, who was too lazy to explain the relationship between the two, simply quoted the nurse's rhetoric.

Huoyue actually has a guardian?The three Anbu looked at each other.Considering that what Kakashi said was true, Tsuruta reluctantly put down the snow, and Kakashi took the girl and ran to the village without stopping for a moment, without even saying hello.

The three Anbu were able to rest for a while, and Kujo patted Tsuruta's shoulder: "You try your best, and then just leave it to Kakashi, it's okay."

"Hmph..." Tsuruta's face was still covered with dark clouds.

"Hey, Huoyue is good at killing people. She has a specialization in art. It's not shameful for you to lose to her, um... I lost too." Kinoshita comforted Tsuruta with the tone of someone who has experienced it.

Who knows that Tsuruta didn't appreciate it: "Get out! It's not this question!"

"Could it be that you became angry after being saved by her? As for?"

"...I don't like to owe people favors. If she dies, it will be troublesome." He Tian stood up after speaking, helped the mask on his face, and continued to run towards the village.

"Hey, if you're worried, just tell the truth, why are you so awkward." Complaining, Kinoshita and Kujo also finished their short break and followed Tsuruta.

The scenery on both sides receded quickly, and it was the first time that Kakashi felt that the road back to the village was so long.The breath of the girl in his arms became weaker and weaker, almost unnoticeable, the black eyes like small animals were closed tightly, and his skin was cold for a while.

Tightening his arms tightly, without going through the gate, Kakashi went straight to the destination through the barrier, not daring to slow down or stop, for fear of being too late for a moment.

When handing the girl over to the medical class, Kakashi's heart that had been hanging all the way finally relaxed a little, and only then did he notice that Xue's hand seemed to be holding something tightly.Carefully opened his fingers, only to find that what was firmly grasped in the scratched hand was a crumpled and cute candy paper, which was already stained with blood.

Holding the candy wrapper and sitting on the chair by the wall, Kakashi didn't remember how long he waited, but his mind was blurred.Father, Obito, Lin, and those who miss them are played back in turn in the memory, and the last one is frozen on the bright smile of the girl holding the candy bottle.

Kakashi found that, unconsciously, this not-so-cute girl gradually took a place in his heart.However, he still can't understand what this feeling is, maybe it's a student, maybe it's a comrade-in-arms...

"Hey, what's the matter? Are you still alive? What does the medical class say?" The wolf-faced Anbu Anbu, who had just seen just now, rushed in quickly, and before he could stand still, he fired at Kakashi like a cannonball.

"Why are you so energetic, Tsuruta." Kinoshita and Kujo followed closely behind panting.

Kakashi stuffed the candy wrapper into his jacket pocket, stood up and said back and forth: "The people in the medical class are checking, and they are still waiting."

"Then I'll wait together too!" As he spoke, Tsuruta couldn't help but sit next to Kakashi with arms folded.

Kinoshita supported his forehead and looked at Tsuruta helplessly: "Stop making trouble, we have to deal with the wound quickly and report it, and just hand it over to the medical team. You are useless here, don't make trouble for others." After finishing speaking, Kinoshita and Kujo greeted Kakashi and dragged Tsuruta away forcefully.

"Hey, remember to tell us about the situation!"

"Stop shouting, keep quiet here!"

While Tsuruta turned his head and confessed to Kakashi, he was mercilessly dragged away by Kujo.Kakashi was interrupted by the sudden farce, but felt a little more relaxed, and sat quietly in the chair waiting for the result.

When the people in the medical class informed the injured that the injured were out of danger, Kakashi finally calmed down completely. Looking at the girl on the hospital bed with a slightly better complexion, he finally felt the real sense of fear.It was almost impossible to see the figure of the girl who opened her eyes and called her teacher with an uncute and serious face.

Gently touching Xue's face, although it was still a little cold, but the faint ups and downs proved that she was still alive.The medical team told that fortunately, Xue's blood was different from ordinary people, and the toxin could not spread quickly, so she could persist until she came back.Kakashi heaved a sigh of relief, leaning back in the chair and looking at the girl's sleeping face, this time when she was discharged from the hospital, she had to find a way to mend her body again.

"...Teacher?" A weak voice came from beside him, Kakashi who was distracted was clever, and quickly turned to look at the girl beside him.

"Here is...?" The girl who woke up rubbed her eyes in confusion, as if she hadn't figured out the situation yet, and her sleepy expression looked like a hibernating squirrel.

It's a rare sight.Kakashi chuckled inwardly.

Finally touching the girl's hair with confidence, Kakashi smiled with his crescent eyes: "Finally woke up? You can really be lazy and let your teammates carry you all the way back from the border."

"Ah...that's right...it seems like I've been poisoned." Snow dazedly covered Kakashi's big hand, as if instinctively looking for support.The soft but rough touch of the girl's palm because of the bandage made Kakashi's heart palpitate, and he wanted to take it back but was afraid of alarming her.

"How do you feel now?"

"I'm a little dizzy, and my memory can't be coherent." Xue closed her eyes tiredly, her brows furrowed, and she suddenly remembered something, and suddenly opened her eyes, "Speaking of which, why is Teacher here?"

"Well... on the way back, I happened to see Kujo and Kinoshita, so I came with them." I always felt that I intercepted someone from another team halfway, and went straight to the medical class without reporting, so I couldn't say anything, Kakashi Immediately changed the subject, "If you haven't recovered yet, take a rest, I'm here."

Xueshun nodded obediently, and fell into a dream while holding Kakashi's hand, but the silver-haired Jonin was in trouble, and wanted to pull his hand out, but was afraid of waking up the little wild cat that was lying down.

At this moment, there were three regular knocks on the door, and Kakashi hurriedly pulled up the side curtain beside the hospital bed to block the grasped hand.

"Please come in."

"Excuse me." It was Kinoshita who was still wearing Anbu's mask, followed by Tsuruta and Kujo who looked dissatisfied.

Seeing that there was only Kakashi and Yuki who was sleeping in the room, Kujo took off the eagle mask on his face, looked at Kakashi and asked in a low voice, "How is the situation?"

"It's all right, the nurse said to rest for a few days."

"That's good." Before Kujo finished speaking, Tsuruta, who had also taken off his mask next to him, made a speechless sound, found a random corner and stood leaning against the wall with arms folded.

"Senior, don't worry, he's eaten fire/powder." Kinoshita who had seen Kakashi said with a relaxed smile.

Tsuruta, who was about to explode, was glared at by Kujo and simply turned his head away from looking at the few people.Kakashi waited patiently for Anbu and the others to get to the point.

"This mission, Huoyue, performed the best. We have already reported it to the third generation. The third generation also told us that Huoyue is temporarily on your regular mission. I am very sorry for this situation. " Kujo and Tsuruta, who was still sulking in the corner, said, "Tsuruda, come here and explain."

Tsuruta reluctantly moved in front of Kakashi, and his tone was much more relaxed than usual: "Huoyue's injury this time...is my responsibility. I was too confident to be discovered by the enemy, which led to the passive situation. Huoyue helped me to block it so I could escape completely."

"You mean Xue... Fire Moon, did she save you?" Kakashi was a little surprised.

"Yes... yes, that's right. At that time, she clearly had the opportunity to kill the enemy directly, but for some reason she suddenly blocked the knife for me. To be honest, if I was hit by the knife, I wouldn't be able to survive the poison at all." Scratching his hair in frustration, Tsuruta was a little annoyed, "Oh, that's right, it's all because of Huoyue's fault! I really didn't treat her well before, and now I owe her my life. Anyway, I just... "

"I came to apologize." Seeing that Tsuruta missed the point for a long time, Kinoshita just helped him out.

"Why are you grabbing me to talk!"

"We don't have so much time to chat with you, just be direct."

"I want you to be troublesome!"

Seeing that Tsuruta and Kinoshita were about to fight in the ward, Kujo, who had been watching quietly, quickly stopped the two of them, and Kakashi gave Kujo a sympathetic look of "it's not easy for you".
