[Naruto Cassette] The love-hate relationship between the sweet party and the salty party

The author has something to say: Kakashi's birthday greetings, 01

01

When he went to visit the grave today, he saw a bunch of flowers in front of the grave again.

The flower had just been put down not long ago, and the blooming buds were still tender, leaving only some inconspicuous pressed marks on the petals.Kakashi bent down and put the bouquet of flowers he brought beside him, his doubts deepened, and he wondered, who could this person be?

This is where Nohara Lin belongs after her death, and only acquaintances will come here.

Kakashi originally guessed that they were former classmates, and only they could still remember their former friends after more than ten years of passing away. However, this guess was overturned by himself after a period of observation.

The reason is very simple, even if it is a classmate who has a good relationship in the past, it is impossible to visit him as frequently as he does—as long as it is not a temporary overtime, Kakashi, who is currently working as Hokage, will visit Lin in the cemetery every few days However, every time he came over, he would find the trace left by someone who stopped in front of Lin's tomb before him.

So who is it, the person who is always one step ahead of him.

Kakashi was curious.On the way to the cemetery, he listed all possible old acquaintances in his mind and eliminated them one by one.But on the other hand, even though he was curious, he didn't deliberately pursue the identity of that person.It would be great if one day we meet by chance, no matter who it is, even if it's just a passer-by with nothing to do and doesn't know, he will be grateful, just because besides himself, there is someone else who conveyed the message to that gentle girl. bona fide.

——So, with this thought in mind, one day, he really met that man.

That day, the first thing I saw was the back.

The man's hands were slanted in his trouser pockets, and he stood in a somewhat casual posture. The green color of the jounin's vest was particularly conspicuous surrounded by numerous stone monuments.

Kakashi paused slightly after being slightly stunned, and then resumed his pace.He didn't deliberately hide his breath, so when he got closer, the man noticed it.When he looked back, a dazzling red light flashed in front of his eyes. Kakashi almost thought it was the color of the man's pupils, but he didn't expect that there were still sparks left in the cigarette he was holding in his mouth.

The black and white pupils are distinct, the skin that is not covered by the eyepatch covering the left eye is covered with dark scars, and even the lip line with an extra thin line shows an unhealthy dull color.It can be said that the flash of fire is the brightest color on this gloomy man.

It was just a moment, I didn't expect to think of so much.But then again, he's just...

"Yo, Uchiha Jonin."

After remembering the man's identity, Kakashi took the initiative to say hello. "Uchiha Jonin" was stunned for a moment, took off the cigarette, and called Hokage-sama, his attitude was not close, and there was an unconcealable alienation in his words.Perhaps feeling that the cold tone was inappropriate, the man hesitated for a while, and then took the initiative to talk to Kakashi.

"Six generations of adults are here to visit the grave so early?"

After he finished speaking, he realized that this was nonsense. Could it be that Sixth Hokage came here early in the morning to do other things?Kakashi noticed that the man's slender eyebrows moved silently at this moment, probably just feeling a little annoyed, but the brows could not help but frown, and the expression on his face looked like he was angry.

"um, yes."

"Oh, that's quite a coincidence."

After such a brief conversation, they had nothing to say.

The two are not familiar with each other at all, and what they have to say is just ordinary superiors and subordinates, plus a little bit of Hokage's special attention to the dangerous elements who have abandoned the dark and turned to the former ninja.

At the end of every month, the monitoring report on Obito Uchiha will be placed on Kakashi's desk. After he reads it, he will be sure that there is no problem. The only contact is probably when Obito Uchiha goes to Hokage's office to hand over the task. During the period, they asked, answered and summarized in a business-like manner, and then one continued to approve the documents, and the other left slowly after completing the task... It seemed that this was the first time they met in a non-work place?

Bring the subject back quickly.

Obito Uchiha acts out of place in an awkward moment when neither of these two men know what to say.

He frowned again, making sure that Hokage, who was clearly blocking the way in front of him, didn't intend to speak, and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, Master Sixth can do as he pleases."

After finishing speaking, he nodded, and when he walked around Mr. Sixth Generation, his eyes obviously did not shift in the slightest.

Kakashi didn't rush forward.

The person he had cared about for so long finally revealed his real body, but he unexpectedly didn't get a sense of relief from solving a puzzle, as if the doubts had deepened.

He watched the man's shadow getting smaller and smaller, and when he was about to leave the cemetery, he paused, threw the cigarette that had been caught between his index finger and middle finger on the ground, stomped out the sparks, and then slowly disappeared into his body. vision.

Only then did Kakashi look away and walked to Lin's grave.

What Uchiha Obito brought this time was a bouquet of lilies, which was still placed in the old place, and it was the same kind as the bouquet he had not had time to put down in his hand, so the place where he bought the flowers must be the same one.He suddenly felt a little funny, and the corners of his lips curled up, and he said to the writing on the tombstone, "Should I talk to him a little more just now?"

Lin naturally couldn't answer him, so this became his soliloquy, and he smiled again after the soliloquy.

"I don't know if Uchiha Jonin found out that we were visiting a person, well, maybe he didn't care if he found out."

"Speaking of which, Lin, why didn't I find out that you knew him before?"

Now that this topic has been mentioned, I have to fall into the memories of the past.In Kakashi's memory, he met Lin when he was five years old, and after becoming teammates, he had to act together. Although the girls on the same team often had friends who were not familiar with them, they all had impressions.Moreover, besides him as a teammate, Lin has the deepest friendship, and there should be only another teammate on the same team...

……and many more.

The relaxed expression on Kakashi's face suddenly froze.

Who is the other teammate on the same team, what is his name, what does he look like? When he thought of this, his originally smooth train of thought was abruptly blocked.

At first, he thought it was because he was too busy recently, and his memory became worse. Kakashi thought that it should not be so bad, and then calmly recalled it from the beginning.

Konoha's ninja teams are all in groups of three plus a jonin who leads the team.

Their mentor is Minami Namikaze, their teammates include Rin Nohara, and a guy who should be a good-for-nothing, because after recalling this, Kakashi has almost no impression of this teammate, only remembering that he seemed to dislike it at that time he.Then the time jumps to the later battle of Shen Wu Bridge, this teammate who can’t remember the name saved him and Lin——

After that, what happened.

Can not remember.

Can't remember at all.

Kakashi just stood there in front of Lin's grave.

The memory after that battle is clear. Lin died at his hands, and her body was brought back to Konoha, where she lay buried under the land in front of him.So, what about the other person, is it because he died in Shenwu Piqiao a long time ago, so he didn't have a deeper impression?

Under normal circumstances, the fuzziness in the memory will not attract much attention. After all, the memory will always fade, and most of the non-important things can't be remembered clearly.But... no, more than that.

Intuition told Kakashi that there was something he had been ignoring.

The first time Kakashi only visited Lin for 10 minutes, he left in a hurry, forgetting to leave Lily before leaving.

——In this world, is there a paintbrush that can erase memories silently?

—he forgot something.

——That person is the key, but who is he?

All of them have to be noticed.

*****

Because he bumped into Sixth Hokage, Obito suddenly felt uncomfortable, so he threw away the unburned cigarette.

After throwing it away, he regretted it, and said in his heart that he didn't know why he had a guilty conscience, and he was not a kid who was discovered by the teacher for doing bad things.He is an adult, and the lazy look of Sixth Hokage is not dignified...

Um, lazy.

Even though he hadn't even said a few words, this clear definition suddenly popped up in his mind, which was a bit miraculous.

After a while, he walked to the street, Obito picked up another one, took a sip when he put it in his mouth, and then coughed due to choking.

The owner of the grocery store who sold his cigarettes stared at him with subtle eyes: "If you don't know how to smoke, don't smoke."

"I will." He said two words in a hoarse voice, stuffed the cigarette case into his pocket and left, not wanting to explain that he was stupidly choked because of a momentary trance.

After leaving the grocery store, he stood at the corner of the street where people were coming and going, looked around, and Obito wondered where he should go and do something next.

It's already past breakfast time, and it's still early before lunch time, and all the A-level tasks I received were all handed in yesterday.To sum up, the current state is—too busy to panic.

From the moment he woke up in Konoha's hospital bed, Anbu, who had been watching in the dark, also evacuated, barely gained some trust, but Obito was not happy at all, or, in other words, the mood now is the same as before, no fluctuation.

Whether he is suspected or trusted, it makes no difference to him. He stays in Konoha just to atone for his sins, and the cold eyes of others have nothing to do with him.

Therefore, the consequences of desperately accepting missions and handing in missions for atonement, which lasted for a long time, are:

Uchiha Jonin, the former war criminal of the Fourth World War, has nothing to do now after being freed from the state of being too busy to turn his head!

Oh no, there is still something to do.

For example, I go to send flowers to Lin every day, clean up the weeds in front of the tomb, and stare at the photos left on the monument for a while.

He actually noticed the other person who sent the flowers, but he just didn't pay attention to it. At most, when he found out that the person was Kakashi Hatake, he clicked his tongue to express his surprise.

Afterwards, Obito idled for a few days, until he finally lost his temper, and he returned to the mode of doing tasks desperately.

This time it was even harder than before. Obito had to meet Hatake Kakashi several times a day in Hokage's office because he was good at space-time ninjutsu and it was convenient to go back and forth.

When he went there on the first day, he said "Good morning, Mr. Sixth Hokage, thank you for your hard work" to Sixth Hokage.In the middle of speaking, remembering Naruto's ardent instructions (Obito, you have to smile, and you will look sincere when you smile), and reluctantly pulled out a very lethal smile.

The sixth-generation adult replied "Morning", sat behind the desk, put his palms together and held his chin up, and the sight he looked over was simply inexplicable.

When he went there the next day, he couldn't laugh, so he just called Mr. Liudai lightly.

The sixth-generation master said good morning to him, clasped his hands together and held his chin up, sitting upright, his inexplicable gaze became a little more straightforward.

When he went there on the third day, his face was expressionless, his brows were tightly frowned, and he didn't want to say a word.

Master Sixth still said good morning to him, this time he didn't sit down, and came out from behind the table, his scrutinizing gaze seemed to poke a hole in his face.

Then Master Sixth said again: "Uchiha Jonin, did we... know each other before?"

Obito: "..."

ill!

He resisted the urge to smash the mission scroll on Hokage's head, twitched the corner of his mouth, and replied in a more indifferent tone: "I don't know."

He slammed the door and left, regardless of whether Hokage, who was startled by the earth-shattering sound of closing the door, would write him a note.

Anyway, Obito has been confirmed, and the Sixth Hokage is definitely not happy with him. Apart from staring at him with strange eyes every time, he has become more and more straightforward, and Obito immediately found that his workload has suddenly increased. The time has increased a lot... Even if he doesn't really care about the workload, he will feel unhappy.

This view became more and more certain with the passage of time, and soon reached the point of being rather puzzling.

So in a certain Jonin gathering, Obito drank a few glasses of wine, was silent for a while, and then asked the doubts buried deep in his heart.

"Do you feel that Master Six is ​​targeting me?"

The colleague drinking together next to him didn't hear clearly: "What are you talking about?"

Obito repeated it again: "I feel that the sixth generation adults don't like me, haven't you noticed?"

However, everyone's reaction was unexpected.

Those who drank were all sprayed with alcohol, those who punched stopped, and those who didn't drink or punched didn't say anything. When they turned their heads, their expressions were still a little distorted.

Obito found himself being watched by a rather strange sight again, and couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter, am I wrong?"

"But I always feel that Master Sixth seems to have enmity with me."
