Hanabira quickly opened the door, not letting Kakashi wait long.
Seeing Kakashi with a blue nose and a swollen face, Hanabira was stunned for a moment, but quickly snapped back to her senses and invited Kakashi in.
"Shinobi-sama, what happened to you?" Hanabira thought for a while and finally asked.
"I fall on my way here," Kakashi said solemnly.
Hanabira seemed a little confused: "You must've fallen really hard."
Hanabira hesitated for a while before rolling up her sleeves and revealing her white arms.
"Bite it so you can recover."
This scene brought Kakashi back to the moment when he first met Hanabira. He still remembered the distressed face when Hanabira was bitten.
She was a normal woman who was afraid of pain, after all.
Kakashi sighed: "No, you will be in pain."
"If it's you, you can bite once, but only once okay?" Hanabira acted tough.
But Kakashi didn't know what Hanabira was thinking, so he turned his face away on purpose.
Kakashi brought Hanabira's sleeves back down, then looked directly at Hanabira and said, "Don't do this anymore, no one deserves that. I rescued you because I didn't want to see this kind of thing happen to you all the time. If I bite, then what is the difference between me and those people? Unlike Kusagakure, Konoha has a lot of Medical-nins. "
Kakashi knew that he was not a saint, but he also had his own kindness.
At this moment, Kakashi suddenly seemed taller in Hanabira's eyes. When Kakashi stood up, Hanabira realized that Kakashi was actually just a thirteen-year-old boy.
"Your father must be a very powerful person for teaching you something like that." Hanabira praised.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing Hanabira's words, Kakashi was stiff for a moment and fell silent.
Hanabira seemed conflicted as she felt like she had just touched a sensitive topic.
"I'm sorry, I..." Hanabira was about to apologize.
"It's okay, he is indeed a very powerful person, a hero of Konoha," Kakashi said.
His good friend Obito believed that his father was Konoha Hero, and Nagasawa also acknowledged and respected White Fang's ideal.
Then why should he care about what those irrelevant passers-by think? His father was the Konoha hero in his heart! That was how it was back then, now, and from now on.
"Let's go, I'll take you to apply for your residency. After applying, you will officially become a Konoha resident." Kakashi said, changing the topic.
Hanabira nodded as she looked forward to her new life in Konoha.
Perhaps, this time, I could really live the peaceful and happy life I have longed for.
Kakashi took Hanabira and walked quickly to the Hokage office.
Why did he have to hurry? Because he had to catch up before Minato got off work.
Under normal circumstances, if Minato was finished with all the documents, he would leave work at 5:00 pm.
Originally, he had to get off work at six o'clock at the earliest, but after Nagasawa told him that he could go home and spend his time with Kushina as long as he finished his work, he got off work earlier now.
Walking into the Hokage Building, Hanabira followed Kakashi's footsteps closely, not daring to look around.
Because she could feel a lot of dangerous atmosphere in this building.
These aurae made Hanabira feel a little on edge. Before she realized it, she had already entered the Hokage office. It was Kakashi's voice that brought her back to her senses.
"Minato-sensei, she is Uzumaki Hanabira." Kakashi introduced her to Minato.
Minato looked at the dazzling red hair and smiled gently: "Uzumaki Hanabira, do you want to be a resident of Konoha?"
"I do."
Immediately after, Minato took out two forms from the table and handed them to Hanabira: "After filling them out, you are officially a Konoha resident."
Hanabira quickly filled out the form and handed it over to Minato.
Minato stamped the form with the Hokage seal before looking at the clock, and said with a smile, "Hanabira-san, would you like to drop by my house? My wife is also from Uzumaki Clan. She is very interested in you and said she wants to meet you. "
Hanabira looked at Kakashi.
Kakashi didn't know what to do. He was just a thirteen-year-old boy!
Minato seemed to sense the awkwardness between them, and took the initiative: "Kakashi, you should come as well, it's been a long time since you've had dinner at my place, and what's wrong with your face?"
At this time, Minato realized that Kakashi's face was swollen and there was a circle of bruises around his eyes.
"I got this from training with Nagasawa-san," Kakashi said honestly.
He lied to Guy because he was embarrassed, it was no different with Hanabira, but he wouldn't lie to Minato.
Because Minato was his Jōnin instructor after all, and he treated him so well.
"Nagasawa-san? It seems that you guys get along very well. Do your best! There are many things that you can learn from him." Minato smiled gently.
Kakashi nodded. In terms of strength or degree of black belly, Nagasawa was his goal.
......
......
Minato's house was not as luxurious as Hanabira imagined. It was just an ordinary two-story building, and it was not much different from the ordinary Konoha residents' house.
This surprised Hanabira.
In her eyes, a Hokage was equal to Kusagakure's Kage, so she thought that Minato must've lived in a luxurious house.
Minato led the two of them inside.
Hanabira looked around curiously in the room. The furnishings in the room were also very ordinary, except that there were some kunai with strange patterns in some places.
Suddenly, she felt a strong but kind aura approaching.
A woman with a big spoon, wearing an apron and with dazzling red hair like her came into her field of vision.
"Minato, you came back just in time, I just..." Kushina looked at Uzumaki Hanabira and was stunned for a moment.
But she immediately smacked Minato's chest and said, "You should've told me sooner if we have guests, I'll cook two more dishes."
"It was indeed my fault, I should have informed you earlier." Minato smiled gently and admitted it was his fault.
Kakashi felt like he was already full as he watched this married couple's conversation.
At the dinner table, Kushina kept serving Hanabira with food while chatting, lamenting the difficulty of being an Uzumaki.
This made Hanabira's favorability toward Kushina skyrocket, and she felt that she had finally made a correct decision.
Suddenly Kushina noticed Kakashi who had been eating silently and didn't speak, and asked curiously, "Kakashi, what's wrong with your face, it looks a little swollen."
Kakashi was getting tired of that. He felt that it was pointless to wear a mask as everyone found out he was beaten up black and blue.
"…"
