I slept soundly until midday.

Qi Feng's life became peaceful again, and no one would bother him at the morgue out of boredom.

Even Asuma would be teaching at this hour.

For some reason, Qi Feng didn't really want to see him these past few days. It wasn't guilt; he simply wanted to give him and Kurenai Yuhi more time to smooth things over, for the sake of the future father-in-law and daughter-in-law.

He remembered that in the original story, Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi didn't even get married. Kurenai Yuhi just got pregnant, and then Asuma died.

Tsk tsk...

Stretched out in a 'Ge You slump' on the rocking chair, accompanied by the warm afternoon breeze, lighting a cigarette—this was the life.

The life of a salted fish was too comfortable.

Before long,

Asuma didn't come to bother him, but someone who was both expected and unexpected arrived.

Kakashi Hatake.

Kakashi, his arm wrapped in thick bandages, still had that dead-fish-eye expression. He didn't say anything as he walked up to Qi Feng, but silently pulled up a chair and sat next to him.

They basked in the sun together.

Qi Feng glanced at him in surprise.

Has the sun risen in the west today?

Kakashi, the mission maniac, actually didn't go to train or do a mission, and instead ran over to bask in the sun with him?

However, if Kakashi didn't speak, he wouldn't take the initiative to start a conversation.

Talking was too tiring, especially with this kid whose mental development was already a bit abnormal.

But Qi Feng could endure it, but Kakashi couldn't.

After all, who could stand having a huge chimney next to them frantically puffing out smoke?

"Don't you know that smoking is extremely unfriendly to injured people?" Kakashi raised his bandaged arm and waved it in front of him.

After the mission, Kakashi's prejudice against him had lessened a lot.

Especially after returning to Konoha, hearing that Qi Feng had sworn to protect the seriously injured and unconscious Imai Kuriyama, standing in front of her to face an attack from a Kirigakure Jonin, resulting in him also being seriously injured.

For some reason, when Kakashi heard the news that Qi Feng had protected his companion in such a way, he felt a slight stirring in his heart.

"Really? I think I'm in pretty good shape right now, thanks for your concern." Qi Feng ignored Kakashi's injuries, took a puff, and blew a smoke ring in Kakashi's face.

"......"

Kakashi felt that he must have lost his mind to have felt a slight liking for Qi Feng before.

"Want one?" Qi Feng opened the cigarette case, pulled one out, and placed it in front of Kakashi.

Kakashi's eyes widened, and he immediately turned his head away.

How could there be such a person?

He was still underage!

Qi Feng didn't think much of it. Could the people of the ninja world be measured by age?

Starting to look for a partner before the age of ten, having hands stained with blood before the age of ten—was this what normal children should be like?

Qi Feng curled his lip at Kakashi's lack of interest.

Asuma was more interesting.

Even after treating Kakashi like this, he didn't leave, just moved a little further away.

There was something fishy, definitely something fishy!

Qi Feng's intuition told him that Kakashi was acting a bit strange today.

However, before he could think about it, a man with agile movements, wearing a ridiculous green jumpsuit, came running, dragging up dust everywhere, and rushed in front of the two of them at an extremely fast speed.

This time, Qi Feng and Kakashi had unusually similar expressions.

Their eyes twitched.

The person who came was none other than Konoha's future "Azure Beast," the man who almost kicked out the grand finale, Might Guy!

Stopping his feet but sliding in front of the two of them due to inertia, he gave a thumbs up, revealing his snow-white, shiny teeth, matching his thick, dark eyebrows.

"Yo! Kakashi, so you're here! Let's have a youthful duel between men!"

So Kakashi was hiding here to avoid this man.

Probably the only one in Konoha who could deal with Kakashi was this man, Qi Feng muttered to himself.

Kakashi looked at Qi Feng with a pleading expression.

Qi Feng just silently turned his body to the side, leaving his butt to him.

"......"

With no help forthcoming, Kakashi looked at Might Guy with a hopeless expression and raised his arm, "Next time, Guy, I'm injured."

Only then did the rough-edged Guy see the bandage on his hand, "Eh? Kakashi, how did you get injured?"

In Guy's mind, Kakashi was a unique genius, the object he would spend his whole life chasing after. Could someone actually injure him?

Kakashi glanced at Qi Feng, who was minding his own business.

"Senior Qi Feng!"

Successfully shifting the target, Kakashi was very happy.

"It's really Senior Qi Feng, you're my idol!"

Idol?

Qi Feng was a little surprised.

Could someone like him, who barely graduated from the ninja academy and ended up as a corpse collector in a cold department like the morgue, actually become the idol of the famous "Emperor Guy" in the future?

"Senior Qi Feng, we are both considered dead last by others, useless people who can't become ninjas, but you succeeded! You are now a successful ninja! I will definitely follow in your footsteps and become an excellent ninja! Definitely!"
