[Hokage] Looking at you from a distance

? Kakashi was sent to Konoha Hospital. Although Nao seemed to be fine, she was also sent to the ward and was forced to undergo a full-body examination.

The ward was extremely quiet, and there were birdsongs from time to time outside the window. If it wasn't for the fact that she could still clearly remember what happened not long ago, Nao would have thought it was just a nightmare she had.

"Nao, are you awake?" Kakashi, who was lying on the bed next door, tilted his head, looking at Nao who was motionless with his back turned to him.

"En." Nao replied in a low voice.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"……you say."

Kakashi, who was ready to ask a question, suddenly fell silent again. It was not until Nao turned around to look at him impatiently that he hesitated and said, "Yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that you blocked Uchiha's Kunai, why? ..."

"No injury, right?" Nao rolled her eyes, she knew that this matter could not be concealed, not to mention that Sai and Kakashi found out, Uchiha Sumeru must also know, so she curled her lips and replied, "It's my super power, it's very powerful."

The perfunctory tone didn't sound like she was happy at all.

"..." Kakashi withdrew his gaze, staring at the ceiling in a daze, "What an ability."

When he said that, Nao immediately couldn't continue, because when she blocked Kakashi's Kunai, she clearly saw the knife mark on his left eye.

There was a sudden silence in the ward.

Nao was lying under the covers and looking at Kakashi, and he didn't forget to wear a mask while lying on the hospital bed, a sudden urge to tease him rose in Nao's heart, "Hey, can I see your face? "

"..." Kakashi gave her a subtle look, "It's just a face."

"Would you like to show it to me?" Nao got up from the bed, and ran to Kakashi's bed in a hospital gown, "I want to see it."

Facing Nao's behavior like a child acting like a baby, Kakashi frowned helplessly, "Is Nao so interested in my face?"

"That's right." Nasu nodded, rolled his eyes, and stretched his right hand towards his face when he was not paying attention, the target was his mask.

Then Kakashi stopped him in the air more quickly.

Kakashi held her wrist tightly with his right hand, and said with a wry smile, "Nao, I..."

Before he finished speaking, the closed door was opened by Katz, and Kakashi and Nao's eyes fell on Chie who was looking at the door.

"Sister, I brought ramen..." Chie walked in with a smile, then froze there, looking at the scene in the ward stupidly.

Nasu was lying on Kakashi's bed, his right hand was already stretched out to him, as if he was going to attack him, and Kakashi blocked Nasu's evil hand with his hand, and the eyes of both of them were the same. Looking at her in a hurry.

"..." Chie took a few steps back silently, "Go ahead."

Watching Chie close the door with a bang, Nao silently withdrew her hand, and then lay down on her bed in despair.

The door was suddenly opened again with a squeak, and Chie stood at the door with a blank expression. Seeing the two people lying on their own beds in the ward, Chie laughed with relief, "Ahaha, it really was me just now. The way to open it is wrong, how could my sister sneak attack Kakashi... It's strange!"

Chie rushed to Nao's bed, then shook her shoulder desperately, "Sister, what are you doing!"

Nao was dazed by her shaking, "Wait...wait, Chie, I'm a patient, you can't treat me like this..."

"The sick number is a ghost! Sister, you have nothing to do at all!"

"No... I feel like my mind has been hit a ton..."

"..."

Chie let go of Nao in disgust, and picked up the takeaway box she brought over, "Hey, I bought it for you, Kushina added living expenses for us, so we don't need to eat radish and cabbage in the future."

"...Ahaha, isn't it?" Nao took the ramen handed over by Chie, "With the money I earned through my own efforts, the noodles are even more delicious~"

"..." Chie's expression changed, and her eyes turned red, as if she was about to cry.

"What are you thinking?" Nao tapped Chie's head lightly with chopsticks, "I'm the one who should say I'm sorry, I was really self-willed then."

"Oh sister, if you hit me again, I will break up with you!"

"...Sorry, it's a smooth ride."

Silently eating the ramen in the bowl, Chie seemed to hesitate for a while before speaking, "Kushina said, she will tell us all about Cheng after you leave the hospital."

"..." Nao paused for a moment, then continued to eat the noodles in the bowl, "Really."

The wind outside the window blew in slowly, and there was a hint of warmth on the face. Nao looked at the remaining half bowl of noodles, and suddenly felt no appetite, and couldn't eat any more.

Compared to Kakashi, who was mentally traumatized by Tsukiyomi, Nao was really nothing serious. He was discharged from the hospital alive and kicking after lying down for two days. Before leaving, Nao waved to Kakashi, "Kakashi, I haven't given up yet~"

Kakashi: "..."

When she returned to her own house, Nao actually felt like a lifetime away, obviously only a few days had passed.

Jiu Xinnai was already sitting in the room, and she stood up when she saw the door, with a hint of guilt on her expression, "I'm sorry for keeping Cheng's matter from you."

Nao nodded and shook his head, suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he sat down opposite Kushina without saying a word.

Jiu Xinnai sighed slightly after sitting down, "Actually, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just about me and her... It's really hard to say, there are too many things involved."

Nao and Chie sat silently waiting for her to speak.

"As you all know, Cheng is also a time traveler. At that time, we were very good friends."

"Once upon a time..." Jiu Xinnai paused, lowered his eyes in a gloomy manner, yes, it was only once.

30 years ago, she traveled to this world and became Uzumaki Kushina who had just arrived in Konoha, and Cheng also traveled over at that time, becoming Uchiha Summi who was just born in the Uchiha family.

At first, she didn't know Cheng, and thought that she was the only traveler in this world. After graduating from the ninja school, she was implanted into Nine Tails and came into contact with the high-level Konoha.Until then, she didn't know Uchiha Cheng who had just entered Anbu.

The original Chung appeared by her side as a protector and watcher.

Although she is a member of the Uzumaki clan who is on good terms with Konoha, she is not a Konoha ninja after all. In order to be able to firmly control her, the high-level Konoha specially found the genius Uchiha Sumeru of the Uchiha clan at that time. If Kushina has any changes or What's wrong with the nine tails sealed in the body, Cheng's Sharingan is the best weapon to control her.

At that time, Cheng was just a child, she knew of Cheng's existence, and she always knew that Cheng was watching her secretly, but the two of them had never communicated, and Kushina never knew that Cheng was a time traveler.

Until her birthday.

Of course it's not Kushina's birthday, but her own birthday. She lit a candle for herself and sang a birthday song. When she turned around, she found the short Cheng standing behind her, looking at her in surprise, "Jiushina !"

"...Cheng?" Jiu Xinnai was a little puzzled. If it wasn't for something, Cheng would never take the initiative to appear in front of her, but now she looks very excited. Looking at her expectantly, "You are also time-traveling, right!"

"...Could it be that...you too?" Kushina was stunned for a moment, then screamed excitedly and hugged Cheng, "There is a companion!"

From then on, their relationship quickly improved, and they quickly became close friends who talked about everything.

Cheng, like her, knows the plot of Hokage very well, but Cheng is also different from her. In terms of strength, Cheng can be said to be a genius. He opened Sangouyu Sharingan at a young age, so he was able to join Anbu, but it is precisely Because of her young age, Anbu entrusted her with the task of monitoring Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Although she was several years older than Cheng, Kushina's strength at that time could only be said to be at the chunin level, not Cheng's opponent at all, so Cheng would often teach her some ninjutsu and body skills at night when she was watching her, driving her Kushina's strength slowly grew.

As time went by, Kushina began to grow up, and the relationship with Minato became more and more intimate, and Cheng also quit Anbe and became Konoha's special jounin, Minato had his own apprentice, Obito, Rin and Kakashi.

At that time, the world was still in the Third Ninja World War, and the wars continued. Kushina and Cheng would also try to participate in some battles. They watched countless teammates die around them, but they were helpless and could not change anything.

"No, we can change it!" Cheng asked while sitting in Kushina's room, looking at Cheng seriously, "If Obito can be rescued and Madara can't find an heir, nothing will happen afterwards It happened, didn't it?"

"But...if you change the plot at will, the butterfly effect or something..." Kushina lowered her head hesitantly.

"Kushinna, are you stupid? If you don't change the plot, are you going to die with Minato?" Cheng looked at her with some resentment, "You know the plot, right? When Naruto was born Your time of death."

Kushina just lowered her head and said nothing, Cheng sighed, and fell on the bed weakly, "Hey, even if you haven't thought about your own life and death, you should think about Minato, do you want to watch him die? ?”

"I know..." Jiu Xinna lowered his eyes, his eyes were full of struggle.

She was afraid that changing the plot at will would bring about more serious consequences, but Cheng was right, she couldn't put Minato down at all now, and she couldn't let Minato die knowing that the plot would develop like that.

In the end, Kushina agreed to Cheng's proposal, and saved Obito in the battle of Kannabi Bridge led by Namikaze Minato.

And this incident was the starting point of their split.
