[Naruto] Raiders of large dogs

After bringing back the ninja who were injured after chasing Sasuke back to Konoha, the medical team entered a state of full overtime work.Shizune was too busy to say hello to Kakashi, but hurriedly told him that Yuki's condition had stabilized and went to help the wounded without stopping.

Kakashi, who couldn't help him, leaned against the wall of the corridor and looked at the ceiling. Although he should go and see the situation of Snow, he didn't know why he didn't have the courage to take a step forward.

"Hey, Kakashi, what are you doing here?" Genma, who had finished the task, happened to see Kakashi who was in a daze, and asked, "You seem to have a lot of things over there, are you still lazy here?"

"...Stop teasing me. Did your mission go well?"

"The trip went smoothly, there were no other pursuers, but Her Royal Highness was very worried about your kitten, and almost refused to leave. On the way, the three of Sand Ninja were called to reinforce Xia Nin, and only Kai and I came back directly. Ah, halfway He left me and came back to check on his students." Genma also leaned against the wall with Kakashi to rest.

Listening to the noise of the medical class not far away rescuing the wounded, Kakashi lowered his head and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Am I...not suitable to be a teacher?"

"What are you talking about? Why did you bring up this topic all of a sudden." Xuan Jian, who had sharp ears, still heard the rare frustrated speech made by the silver-haired man.

"Just think I'm talking to myself boringly." Straightening up, Kakashi stroked the back of his head, wanting to end this inadvertently brought up topic.

Must be very tired.he thought so.

"I said, what are you worrying about yourself? It's up to you whether it's suitable or not." Xuanjian knew that the missions of the past few days and the defection of the students had made this old friend who had always been tolerant exhausted, so he bit his lip. Qianben looked at the ceiling and said casually, "It depends on what your students say."

"You're right." Kakashi waved his hand at Genma without motivation, and walked towards the ward.

Approaching the ward, the silver-haired Kaminobu stood at the door, hesitantly daring to knock, and was about to turn around and leave, but saw the door open in front of him.The girl in the hospital gown stood barefoot in front of her, she seemed to have rushed out to open the door, her bloodshot black eyes were looking straight at Kakashi.

"Sure enough, it's the teacher." Xue seemed to recall the time she cried to sleep in front of Kakashi before, and shifted her gaze away uncomfortably, "Why didn't the teacher come in?"

"Ah... I came to see you, but I didn't bring any condolences..." Kakashi scratched his chin, and casually said a reason that he didn't even believe.

The girl turned her body and said, "The teacher's coming is the best gift, please come in."

Kakashi, who felt that his reaction was too hypocritical, reflected on it, and followed Xue into the ward.

"How does your body feel?"

"Senior Jing Yin has helped me recuperate well, and the fever has subsided. Although it will take some time to get used to the amount of chakra, there is basically no problem now." Xue sat on the bed, dangling her legs by the bed, mocking herself Said, "This is probably the saying that the emptiness cannot be replenished. In the past, I used it sparingly, but now I have too much and I don't know how to use it."

"Really? That's good." Pulling up a chair and sitting down, Kakashi felt relieved as he watched the girl's face recover some blood.

The ward suddenly fell into silence. In such an atmosphere, Kakashi didn't know what to say or what to do. He could only watch the empty water glass beside the bed and let the time go by.

"Teacher...is Sasuke gone?" The girl asked suddenly, breaking the topic that Kamizu didn't know how to speak.

"You know."

"Kana just came here." Yuki shook her feet childishly, her bare feet hanging in the air became whiter and whiter in the sun, "Naruto must have been brought back by the teacher."

"Those two brats really fought mercilessly, but Naruto has strong resilience, so you don't have to worry too much about his injuries." Kakashi chuckled, and turned a little depressed, "This is my dereliction of duty as a teacher. Bar."

Sunlight squeezed into the ward through the open windows, casting black and white patterns on the floor.The girl's feet stopped shaking, and she quietly looked at the silver-haired man in front of her who had always been at ease, showing a weak side like this before.

"Then I, who helped the teacher, have also failed my duty." Xue looked out of the window, and the bright sunshine seemed to sweep away all the haze, "The mission of the third generation is still on my resume. Problem, it’s not enough to take responsibility alone.”

"Besides, I can't tolerate the failure of the mission. When Naruto recovers, let's catch Sasuke and give him a good lesson." The girl's voice was rare and light, as if she had changed from her monotonous voice after crying that night. There has been a subtle change in personality.

"That's not like what you would say." Kakashi, who was amused by the girl's tone, supported his face, but he didn't expect that he would be enlightened by the girl instead.

"Because that's what the teacher taught me." The girl jumped off the hospital bed with bare feet, the bandages on her ankles looming, and Kakashi noticed that the originally thin wild cat had grown taller without knowing it.

"It is the teacher who taught me many things. It is the teacher who made me experience a different way of life." Xue held a familiar short knife in her hand, and her eyes illuminated by the light could not see any confusion. It was like a black hole. The deep pupils seem to devour everything that is in the way, "Teacher, I have made up my mind."

The girl in front of him was like redemption, making Kakashi speechless for a while, only his heart seemed to be filled with unspeakable complex emotions.

Before Kakashi could speak, Tsunade with a tired face rushed in without knocking on the door, followed by Kanna who had already started working.Tsunade saw Kakashi and said directly: "You are here, that's just right, the ninjas are out of danger."

Hearing this news, Kakashi finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was his students who caused the disaster. If something happened to the ninjas, he would not know how to face Kai and Asma tomorrow.

"As for you, Huoyue, Shizune showed me your medical records, it's really messed up!" Tsunade mercilessly criticized the patient who was standing with his head down, "Almost got caught by my chakra. Death, why are you so capable?! When the blood rushes to your brain, you just want to die with others, aren't you usually calm!"

"I'm very sorry... Master Tsunade." Facing the anger of her boss, Yuki admitted her mistake very frankly.

"Forget it, I was wrong too... I didn't expect the information to be leaked." Tsunade sighed, and said a little bit unbearably, "No, actually I should apologize to you."

"Please don't do this, Tsunade-sama, we have come to our senses." Yuki straightened up, holding the short knife tightly in her hand and said, "This is the pride of the team leader and the others."

"You are right, they have fulfilled their duties." Tsunade seemed to have no idea how to open his mouth and lowered his head to think for a moment, looking at Yuki and Kanna with some embarrassment, "However, we don't have enough evidence and information about how the information was leaked." The clues can only be treated as dereliction of duty. There is still too little information about the enemy this time, but I have already sent a letter to Jiraiya to investigate."

Lowering his eyes, Tsunade's tone slowed down quite a bit: "There is one more thing, there are only you and Shenna left in the fifth team. Although newcomers can be filled, there is no one who can take the position of team leader. According to the procedure, there will be Put the two of you into other teams, and the fifth team will wait for new recruits to be reorganized."

Although a bit cruel, the procedure Tsunade said was indeed reasonable. Kakashi looked at the silent girl, wondering how she would react.

"...one year." The girl finally spoke, but what she said made everyone present puzzled.

"What?" Tsunade looked at Yuki with some surprise. He imagined that the girl would accept silently and protest, but he never expected such a response.

"Master Tsunade said that he wanted me to be the team leader within two years." Yuki tightly held the dagger in her hand, with a familiar expression of indifference on her face, and said words with unquestionable confidence, "One year, I will be a squad leader within a year, and I request to keep the number and staff of the fifth squad during this period."

"Impossible!" Tsunade folded his arms and looked at the bold subordinate who was bargaining with himself, "Leaving aside the amount of tasks and qualifications required by the position of the sub-leader, it is impossible for me to put my precious subordinates on the rookie who has little team leader experience." Your subordinates are giving away their lives for nothing!"

"I can complete your request within one year. During this period, there is no need to fill in new members, just keep the current team formation... Shen Nai can adjust the team according to his request."

"I'm with Huoyue-senpai!" Kanna, who was standing behind Tsunade and couldn't get a word in, quickly answered, and was immediately glared at by Tsunade.

Holding his head and sighing with a headache, Tsunade said helplessly: "One or two are so self-willed... I understand, I will explain to the consultant, and I will give you a year. Team, don't give me any more conditions."

After finishing speaking, Tsunade took Kanna out of the ward aggressively, and the sound of closing the door made people wonder if the doorknob had been crushed.

"Yuki..." Kakashi hesitantly opened his mouth, daring to confront Tsunade-sama head-on, he really underestimated the girl's courage.

"Teacher, I've made up my mind." Xue stroked the dagger in her hand, her cold voice revealed the girl's firmness, "This is the sub-leader's ninja sword."

"Is it Jiujo?" Looking carefully, it was indeed one of Jiujo's usual double knives.

"When we split up, I asked Shenna to hold it for me because I had to pretend to be a princess and it was inconvenient to carry it." Pulling out the knife, Xue looked at the silver light reflected by the blade, as if talking to an old friend, "As the teacher said, I must also inherit the will they entrusted to me, and they will exist as long as I live."

"The first step is to inherit the position of the team leader first." The girl smiled, dispelling Kakashi's last worries.

The wild cat in front of him is always like this, so stubborn that it makes people headache, rampant without knowing the detours, but it is precisely because of this that people can't bear to look away.

"Ah, let that fellow Kujo regret it." The cat's paws neatly tore up his depressed mood, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into a corner. Kakashi regained his lazy expression, raised his signature smile, and The snow that was still standing on the ground with bare feet was picked up and gently put back on the hospital bed.

"Don't run around before the injury is healed, take a good rest, you can work when you are healthy, the future team leader." Covering the worried girl with a quilt, Kakashi walked out, "I'll go and see Naruto, don't run away from the hospital, the head nurse will watch you."

"is teacher."

Hearing the sound of the ward door closing, the girl huddled under the quilt that was warmed by the sun, looked at Ninja Sword next to the pillow and said to herself: "Is it only by becoming stronger that we can protect important things?"

Feeling the warmth of the sun, the girl slowly closed her eyes. The important thing she wanted to protect was decided early on.

Everything was so peaceful, except for a drop of tear that wet the pillow cover, but disappeared quickly.
