Seven days had passed since the devastating attack of the Kyubi on the Hidden Leaf Village. The village was in a state of reconstruction, with ninjas and civilians working tirelessly to restore what had been destroyed. The search for the dead and missing continued, and the Konoha hospital was crowded, attending to the wounded and traumatized.
Mrs. Haruno, who used to serve at the Konoha hospital, was determined to help in any way she could. She had partially lost her home in the attack, but that didn't stop her from offering her support. She went to the hospital to look for the young Anbu who had saved her life and that of her grandchildren.
Upon arriving at the hospital, she found a chaotic scene. Doctors and nurses were running back and forth, attending to patients who crowded the corridors. The smell of antiseptic mixed with blood hung in the air, and the groans of the wounded echoed through the halls.
Mrs. Haruno asked one of the doctors about the young Anbu, and he led her to a room where he was lying, exhausted and unconscious. Seeing his condition, only absolute silence and anguish filled the room.
Breaking the silence, the doctor said, "You must be looking for Hatake Kakashi. Despite being in the Anbu, his appearance leaves no doubt: silver hair, the mask… he is certainly the disciple of the Fourth Hokage and the son of Sakumo."
The doctor continued, "If he were still alive, things would have been different. Sigh… Did you know? During my youth, Sakumo was my idol. It's a shame how things turned out," said the doctor, with a distant and melancholic look.
"He's been here since the night after the attack," the doctor continued, turning his attention back to Kakashi. "A young hero indeed. Just like his father, who was also a hero of Konoha, he did everything he could to protect the village and save lives. He is completely exhausted. His father must be proud."
Mrs. Haruno looked at the young Anbu with sorrow and gratitude. She now understood the burden he carried and that he had risked his life to save hers and her grandchildren's, as well as others in the village.
Determined to honor his sacrifice, she decided to take him to her home and care for him personally.
"I'll take him to my home," she said to the doctor, with firmness in her voice. "He needs a quiet place to recover, and the hospital is crowded."
This young man saved the future of her family, which, despite being a civilian clan and far from being a Shinobi clan, now consisted of herself, her son who is a Jonin of Konoha, and her daughter-in-law who, still a genin, decided to retire from the shinobi life and become a civilian to take care of the family business.
She thought that, even with her little influence in the village, taking this young man wouldn't be a problem; it would even be a favor to the village.
After the necessary procedures and authorizations, and with the help of the doctor, Mrs. Haruno took the young Anbu to her home, which had been partially destroyed in the attack. She prepared a room for him and tended to his wounds, ensuring he had everything he needed to recover.
Before leaving the meticulously prepared room for him, she looked again and thought it would be grand if fate united her grandchildren with someone as worthy as the famous Hatake Kakashi of the Sharingan, but that is for the future.
Meanwhile, William, now in the body of a baby, observed everything around him. He still had his memories of his past life, but he was determined to make the most of this new opportunity. He knew he was in Konoha, but there was still much to learn.
