The three of them stiffened, and then turned their heads awkwardly.
Sure enough, they saw the familiar figure standing at the door, smiling with crescent-shaped eyes.
It's just that the smile looks a little too dangerous.
"Kakashi... sensei, you haven't slept yet? I think this room is not locked, so I just come in to see if it is needed to be cleaned or not, hahaha."
Naruto said with innocent smirk, hoping to fool Kakashi.
But obviously, it is useless against Kakashi.
"Naruto, I seem to have told you that this room cannot be entered."
"Really? Hahaha, I forgot it. After all, was when I was a kid, Hahaha."
"To remember that it was during your childhood, it seems that your memory is not too bad."
Kakashi looked at Naruto and said with a smile.
Naruto hurriedly covered his mouth and secretly thought: 'Ahh, I said wrongly.'
When Sakura and Sasuke who were on the side saw this, they felt that their teammate is really an idiot.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about you three little brats."
Kakashi stepped forward and took back the photo frame from Sasuke's hands. Looking at the middle-aged man in the photo, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, 'Safe.'
"Kakashi-sensei, is the man on that photo really your father?" Sasuke asked.
Kakashi put the photo frame back to its place and smiled: "Yeah."
"Ah, is it really Kakashi-sensei's father? So is this Kakashi-sensei's father's room?"
Sakura looked at all around and said.
"That's right, I have never heard Kakashi-sensei talk about it. Kakashi-sensei, where is your father? Is he out doing mission?"
Naruto asked curiously.
Sakura and Sasuke put their palms on their foreheads after hearing this. 'This idiot is really stupid. Did he not think before asking?'
'After not seeing him all this time, did he really think that Kakashi-sensei's father is out there doing mission?'
Kakashi looked at the scabbard hanging on the head of the bed and said with a smile: "He is already dead."
"Aaahhh? Dead?"
Naruto was surprised.
Sakura's anger burst out and then she punched Naruto's head.
"Naruto!"
"Aahh! Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it." Naruto wailed while clutching his head.
"Sorry, Kakashi-sensei," Sakura apologized.
"It's okay. It's all in the past." Kakashi said with a smile.
"Sorry, Kakashi-sensei, but I believe Kakashi-sensei's father must be a Hero, right? Did he gloriously sacrificed his life on the battlefield?" Naruto said.
"No, Naruto, my father committed suicide and he died in this room."
"Suicide?"
The three were shocked when they heard this.
"Yeah, he gave up his mission for the sake of his companions. The village suffered a huge loss because of that and he was scorned by the villagers. And on the night like today, the short sword that has drown with the enemy's blood pierced into his own belly."
Kakashi said flatly, but a wave of emotions appeared in his heart.
Although Sakumo committed suicide, the real cause of his death was because he sealed his soul on Kakashi's body.
But Kakashi knows that this reason cannot be told to others.
The three people turned silent upon hearing this.
The story is different from what they think.
"Kakashi-sensei! I don't think it's shameful for him to give up the mission for the sake of his companions! He is a real Hero!"
Naruto looked at Kakashi with burning eyes, his sky blue eyes were filled with firm light.
All three of them were taken aback for a while. They obviously didn't expect Naruto would say such a thing.
"Kakashi-sensei, didn't you say that in the Shinobi World, those who do not follow the rules are waste, but those who don't cherish their companions are worse than waste? So, Kakashi-sensei's father is a true hero!"
Naruto said excitedly.
Sasuke and Sakura both smiled upon hearing this.
Kakashi came back to his senses, patted Naruto's head, and said, "Yeah, Naruto, my father has always been a Hero in my mind, and I also support his choice."
At this moment, Kakashi seemed to see the Uchiha boy who likes to wear a windshield again.
"Eh? So it's like that, Hahaha. I thought Kakashi-sensei...hahaha, it's fine if it's like that."
Naruto smiles embarrassedly.
Kakashi's eye turned crescent at this moment. 'Ah, I'm really lucky to have such a student.
"Idiot."
"Sasuke! I heard it! You scolded at me!"
"Idiot!"
"Damn! How dare you say that again!"
"Okay, it's already late no. You should go back quickly."
Upon hearing this and the three of them turned quite and nodded.
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei."
After sending away his three students, Kakashi looked at Sakumo's room.
"Tou-san, thank you."
When Naruto walked halfway along the road, he suddenly showed a look of regret.
"Aaah! I should just go see Kakashi-sensei's true face. I wasted an opportunity!"
"Idiot, Kakashi-sensei didn't fall asleep at all, so how could you succeed?"
"Yeah."
"Huh, that's right. No, smelly Sasuke! You scold me again!"
Sasuke stopped and said, "We are going separate ways. I will go back first."
As he said that, Sasuke jumped and left the place.
"That Sasuke..."
"Okay, Naruto, I'm leaving too. See you tomorrow."
"Eh?"
Sakura also left at this moment, leaving Naruto alone.
"Ahh, why did she treat me like that when I just came back? That's right, I should go back to find Karin and Jugo. Karin just followed Neji and the others, and Jūgo sent Tenten back, and they didn't wait for me. It's too much!"
Naruto said as he ran back quickly to Karin and Jūgo's apartments.
On the other side, Sasuke returned to his home, and saw that Fugaku is sitting alone in the courtyard. It is unknown what he was thinking.
"Tou-san, you haven't rest yet?"
Sasuke walked in and asked Fugaku curiously.
"Oh, it's you Sasuke. Is the party over?"
"Yeah, because Naruto and Jiraiya-sama are back, the celebration party ended a bit late."
"Oh? I didn't expect them to have returned." Fugaku said in surprise.
"Yeah, they just got back."
"Okay, I understand. You should go to rest now."
"Okay."
Just after walking a few steps, Sasuke suddenly thought of something and asked: "Tou-san, do you know who Kakashi-sensei's father is?"
"Kakashi's father? Why did you suddenly want to ask this?"
"I'm a little curious."
After hearing Sasuke's question, Fugaku showed a trace of nostalgia and seemed to think of that tall figure.
"He? He is a real powerful figure, powerful enough to be respected by anyone. Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo."
"Konoha's White Fang?"
"Almost all of the Shinobi in the Shinobi World is terrified of him, and even Godaime-sama and Jiraiya-sama admire him."
Sasuke was amazed when he heard this. He didn't know that Kakashi's father would be such a formidable figure.
"Then..."
Fugaku's expression became a little gloomy when he heard this.
"Then, Sakumo gave up his mission because of his companions. He fell into self-blame and broke. Even so, he is still a very respectable Shinobi!"
Sasuke nodded, feeling a little touched in his heart.
From Fugaku's mouth, Sasuke heard about another important thing about Shinobi.
It's not how strong they are and not being a tool for killing.
But how to become a normal, flesh and blood person.
"Nii-san, I won't let you continue to be a spy and tool. I will bring you back, definitely!"
Sasuke clenched his fists, firming his conviction in his heart.
