NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4 Kakashi, Nohara Lin
"Kakashi? Kakashi?"
"Lin?"
Under the bright starry night sky, the white-haired boy lying on the roof and staring at the stars in the sky tilted his head. Looking at the girl who was looking up to greet him under the eaves, he tilted his head in a depressed manner.
"I just finished checking the other injured people in the outpost. When I came back, I found that you were not in your room, so I was wondering if you had come here again to be in a daze..."
The girl with short hair jumped up and landed lightly next to the boy wearing a mask. She looked at his two exposed eyes, one black and one red, and asked with a slight frown:
"Are you thinking about Obito again, Kakashi?"
"Yeah, I'm thinking about Obito."
Hatake Kakashi moved his body and made a place for Nohara Rin to look up at the stars with him. Then while the girl sat down with a sigh, he whispered quietly:
"The war will be over soon, right?"
"That should be the case, right?" Nohara Lin lifted up her hair and looked at Kakashi Hatake who was squandering her chakra with some distress, "After the battle of Kannabi Bridge, there are not many Iwagakure. I have the idea of continuing to fight with us. I heard that Mr. Minato said that the Third Generation has sent an envoy to the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth to prepare for peace talks with the Land of Earth."
"As for Kumogakure's side, with Minato-sensei's active presence, they who already don't have the upper hand probably don't have the energy to continue to maintain the state of war. Although it is inevitable that they still need to station enough people on the border between Lei and Turkey. Ninjas are here to maintain deterrence, but the big war should be over."
"It's so fast...only a few months have passed since that battle, right?"
Hatake Kakashi sighed, closed his right eye, turned his face, and looked at the outpost below him with the Sharingan from his close friend Uchiha Obito, listening to the strange things coming from the wind. He purred so peacefully and said with emotion:
"The situation on the front line has allowed the less seriously injured wounded to retreat to the rear and work part-time at the outpost while recuperating. Kumogakure and Iwagakure will soon have peace talks with us... The arrival of peace is really fast. It feels a bit like a dream.”
"Kakashi..." Nohara Lin looked at the scar that could not be erased on Kakashi's face, and her expression became a little depressed, "The Third Ninja World War has been going on for a long time, and every village has died. Many, many people, it is almost time for everyone to stop and recuperate... The coming peace does not come suddenly."
"Yes, it was achieved through the sacrifices of Obito and other seniors, reluctantly and with blood..."
"Kakashi!"
Seeing that Hatake Kakashi began to fall into the over-investment of Uchiha Obito again, and even ignored the load that the Sharingan that could not be closed would put on his body, Nohara Lin decisively turned around and grabbed it His hand shocked Hatake Kakashi, who was about to blame himself for his own survival again. Then, he saw a pair of strong and sincere eyes:
"Kakashi, Obito entrusted his Sharingan to you because he hopes that you can use this eye to see the road ahead and the future scenery clearly. He absolutely does not want you to sink into the opposite world all the time. His guilt and self-blame."
Nohara Lin squeezed Kakashi's somewhat rough palm, but her small and soft hands brought Kakashi enough warmth to make his body and soul tremble.
"Kakashi, if you really want to comfort Obito's spirit in the sky, use his eyes more to see the peace and future he bought with his life, and protect what he wants to protect for him. ...Obito, who likes to laugh so much, wouldn’t want to see you with a sad face all the time.”
"Lin..."
Kakashi looked a little stunned. He didn't know that his low mood would worry his companions to such an extent. Just when he didn't know what to say in response, Nohara Lin reached out and covered his right eye. Then a reassuring sunny smile appeared on his face, and he said in a relaxed tone to the red and black eyes in Kakashi's eyes:
"Obito, can you see? I am still alive and well now? The war is about to end. After returning to Konoha Village, I should have time to visit those people who have always been very happy with Kakashi. Grandpa and grandma who have been helped by you, right? Just rest assured, I will take Kakashi with me, take over your burden and take care of them...
Although Kakashi is a Jonin, he may not have time to stay in the village all the time, but I am a scarce medical ninja. I should spend a lot more time in the village than him, and I will definitely help you do those things. . "
"Also, you don't have to worry about loneliness or anything like that. Kakashi and I have made an appointment. As long as we have time, we will go to the monument and tell you about the things we encountered in our missions and daily life.
Although there will inevitably be some gaps in the narration, your eyes should be able to see part of it from Kakashi, right? I'll fill in the part you didn't see, and it should be almost restored..."
"Kakashi and I will live well and take you to see the scenery after peace comes... Therefore, please protect Kakashi and let him keep running around performing tasks in the future. Let’s live a good life, okay?”
"Lin..."
"Kakashi, please make a promise to Obito. Promise that you will no longer be dejected and trapped in his affairs."
Staring at Nohara Rin's energetic, cute, strong, considerate and close face, Kakashi Hatake smiled softly for a long time, then raised his hand to cover his right eye, imitating Nohara Rin's look. , swore to his friend:
"I will definitely protect Lin, Obito."
"Hey Kakashi! Promise your own attitude towards life with Obito!"
"Ah, that's not necessary, right? Obito is probably quite happy to see my dejected and depressed expression..."
Kakashi embarrassedly avoided Nohara Rin's dissatisfied gaze, and pulled his ninja forehead protector, intending to end this extravagant behavior of seeing the world with the Sharingan that could not be closed, but just when he was about to block it with his forehead protector When he opened his left eye, he unexpectedly captured a layer of water mist that looked like a veil under the moonlight, slowly surrounding the outpost.
Is the weather today the kind of day where it will be foggy at night?
No, probably not.
So this fog...
Hatake Kakashi's eyes suddenly opened wide.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Everyone on alert! It's Kirigakure's..."
Whoosh.
A black shadow that almost blended into the wind shot at Hatake Kakashi who was shouting from an extremely tricky angle.
The opponent's speed was very fast, but not enough to avoid the insight of the twin Magatama Sharingan.
In the blink of an eye, Hatake Kakashi took out the kunai from his ninja bag and accurately blocked the close attack of the masked figure.
"Hey, should I say it's the Sharingan? I was very careful when using the Kirigakure Jutsu, but you still noticed it..."
The attacker wearing the Kirigakure Assassination Force mask had a very young voice, and a huge power that made Kakashi Hatake frown. Under the moonlight, he could clearly see the weapon used by the attacker. It's much longer than a kunai, but its shape is a bit too strange for a dagger——
It was a bone that looked as crystal clear as jade, but was as hard and sharp as steel.
"Skeleton Vein...Is Kirigakure planning to declare a full-scale war!?"
"The wind and fire are exhausted, and the thunder and earth are powerless. We hide in the fog and watch on the wall, and come out to reap the benefits of the war at the end. Isn't this... a matter of course?"
"Water Escape·Water Prison Technique."
Kakashi's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously fought with the attacker in front of him. Then he used the force to do a backflip and jumped backwards, preparing to protect Nohara Lin who lacked melee ability, and tried to find a way to fight with the full-body attacker in front of him. The Kirigakure Anbu, who exuded an aura that made his hair stand on end, dealt with each other.
But during the backflip, he only saw the hand seals of the water prison technique formed at high speed on the opponent's hand, but he did not see the heavy water soaked in chakra coiling up from in front of the opponent——
"Oops, Lin!!!"
Turning around, another guy dressed exactly like the sneak attacker had inserted one hand into the huge water ball that appeared out of thin air. Nohara Lin, whom Kakashi Hatake wanted to protect, was now looking panicked and confused. Looking at him worriedly in the water prison.
"Okay, now what are you going to do, Sharingan hero, Kakashi Hatake?"
Behind the expressionless mask, Kaguya Rei looked at Hatake Kakashi's suddenly sharp eyes and asked calmly.
