The will of fire can't save the ninja world

Kato Dan, Jounin of Konoha.

A contemporary of Tsunade and others, he had some reputation in the frontline intelligence department.

The [Spiritual Transformation Technique] he is good at is the rare S-level soul ninjutsu.

Orochimaru asked Yu Ye to come into contact with him because the caged bird involves the soul realm, and the art of spiritual transformation is highly applicable and practical in the soul realm.

If he could find help or obtain key information on the art of spiritual transformation, Orochimaru could speed up his research on the caged bird.

These are all the news that Yu Ye found out before returning.

His impression of Kato Dan is still the identity of Tsunade's first love in the original work.

As the second recipient of Tsunade's gift of a necklace, Kato Dan died tragically on the battlefield, with all his internal organs eviscerated...

Tsunade was unable to receive treatment at the scene, and coupled with the recent death of her younger brother Naoki, the two emotional breakdowns overwhelmed Tsunade, causing her as a medical ninja to suffer from anemia.

On the way back, Yu Ye asked a few questions about the break.

The medical ninjas no longer feel sleepy when they talk about this:

"What is the relationship between Kato Dan-senpai and Tsunade-sama?"

"He is a student in the same grade. It is said that he is also a genius. He looks very handsome."

"I heard that they seemed to have some interest before..."

"The frontline is not so tense now, and the Intelligence Department has less work. I guess Senior Duan will be back in a few days."

Yu Ye started the conversation and continued to collect information from the gossip.

Now Kato Dan and Tsunade are not a couple, they are just colleagues and friends.

They really got together, probably after Tsunade proposed the four-person team of medical ninjas. They were definitely among the very few who supported Tsunade, and were regarded as confidants by Tsunade, and the relationship gradually warmed up - but now, Tsunade

None of the proposals have yet been formally put forward.

The few people gossiped in a low voice and did not dare to go too long. After all, they had to take Tsunade's emotions into consideration. When they saw Tsunade looking over in confusion, everyone went on their way in silence again.

Two and a half days later, Konoha was right in front of us.

Seeing the familiar village, everyone who was tired of the war breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Yuye, let's go and recover first."

The medical ninjas need to submit a report on the return trip from the Logistics Department, as well as information about the escorted prisoner of war Ye Cang. They also need to complete the procedures, confirm their identity, and confirm the information they previously obtained from her.

On the way back, in order to prevent Ye Cang from causing trouble, he was sent away in a daze.

Tsunade waved her arm at this time: "You go and report to work, I won't go to the teacher's side."

She glanced at Yu Ye and saw that he didn't respond, so she left by herself.

She has been depressed for a long time and needs to really relax and be wild.

Tsunade randomly entered a hotel and started getting drunk.

The medical ninjas looked at Yu Ye, showing the same look as Tsunade just now, hoping that Yu Ye could go with them.

Yu Ye shook his head slightly: "I still have some things to deal with, so let her be alone."

Tsunade has obviously become attached to him recently, not because of other feelings, but because she feels that with him by her side, at least she won't lose control of her emotions.

But Yu Ye didn't want to, and he didn't like to take advantage of the opportunity to get something in. He just clicked and stopped.

It would be beneficial for everyone to leave Tsunade alone.

After bidding farewell to the team, Yu Ye did not go home.

He didn't know much about the Uchiha family, and his only classmate was the weirdo Uchiha Xiangyang, but he also didn't come back from the battlefield in Iwagakure Village.

He followed the path in his memory and walked to Hatake's house.

The once bustling streets on both sides are now deserted.

Either because there are not enough ninjas to spend, or because there are relatives and friends on the battlefield.

The windmills hung by many people's windows no longer rotate.

The same goes for the Hatake family.

The windmill in that bedroom was stuck in the gap near the window and had been rotted away by the rain.

The door was unlocked, and in the huge courtyard, a thin, white-haired child sat alone on the lawn, staring at the sky in a daze. Next to his dirty little hand was a short wooden knife, the edge of which was covered with light green dried grass juice.

It wasn't until Yu Ye approached that the child, who was less than three years old, came back to his senses and looked at the person with dead eyes.

Not wary, not close.

Yu Ye squatted beside him and was about to ask, but seeing the empty inner room with no one paying attention to him for a long time, he didn't ask.

He hooked the child's dirty little hand: "Kakashi, do you still recognize me?"

When he left, Kakashi was less than a year old.

The result was obvious, Kakashi shook his head numbly.

Yu Ye stood up and rolled up his sleeves: "I... am your father's student."

Kakashi's eyes seemed to light up a little.

Yu Ye picked up the mop at the entrance of the entrance, lightly sprinkled some water to escape chakra, and started cleaning.

He asked: "Who usually comes to take care of you?"

Naruto's children are generally precocious, but children over two years old are not really capable of surviving independently.

Kakashi seemed a little dazed. Yu Ye asked a few questions but got no response.

But after Yu Ye did it for a while, Kakashi responded with action. He came over with unsteady steps, stepped on the bench and washed the dishes, imitating Yu Ye.

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Yu Ye simply didn't ask any more questions.

In the evening, someone came to Hatake's house.

A lame man with half an arm missing from the doorway was holding a lunch box with his good hand and looking around the doorway.

He saw Uchiha Miya's figure from a distance, but he was not sure who it was.

It wasn't until Yu Ye came out that the man looked at it twice and barely recognized it: "...is it Yu Ye?"

Yu Ye looked familiar to the man, but he probably had seen him before and was not familiar with him.

He nodded and chatted with the man for a few words before he found out what happened at Hatake's house——

Kakashi's mother passed away two months ago.

The Hatake family is not happy, and the family swordsmanship is too talented. Except for Hatake Sakumo's family of three, other relatives have either lost contact with each other for a long time, or have left Konoha to do business.

And Hatake Sakumo was performing a secret mission on the front line, so there was a problem with the village procedures regarding Kakashi's responsibility for raising him.

Kakashi neither meets the requirements of an orphan nor the pension conditions of a deceased ninja, so he can only be treated as a normal family - that is, without interference.

The village failed to provide a solution. In the end, Hatake Sakumo's former colleagues couldn't stand it and came to take care of him for a while every day.

But the reason why these people can take care of him is because they were disabled due to early missions and were unable to go to the front line. Therefore, their care capabilities are quite limited. They can only ensure that Kakashi does not starve to death or get sick.

——The Hatake family is not without money, but it is unrealistic to expect Kakashi, who is over two years old, to buy food and clothes by himself.

"Been gone for two months..."

Yu Ye thought of the teacher's request before returning, and looked at the Hokage Rock high in the distance indifferently.

Two months is enough time for news to come and go from the front line dozens of times.

But the teacher still doesn’t know and asked him to come back and take care of her...

Are they sitting peacefully in the Hokage Building because they can't find Hatake Sakumo?

Or are you afraid of affecting Hatake Sakumo's mood and making the knife unstable?

Or maybe in their opinion, this is not an important thing?

Yu Ye didn't understand and couldn't guess.

He came to his senses, and now that he had confirmed the man's identity, he handed the bento to Kakashi.

The lunch box contains hot milk and complementary foods that are convenient for children. It can be seen that the man is very attentive to his family.

This was the limit of what they could do, but it wasn't enough for Kakashi.

Yuye said: "Before the teacher comes back, I will take him to stay at Uchiha's house."

The man was very pleased, but his expression was troubled. He glanced at Kakashi, then limped away with Yu Ye.

He then sighed and said: "The fact that you can do this shows that Sakumo did not make the wrong student, but we have also had the idea of ​​temporary adoption."

"Although our family's conditions are a bit worse, we can still survive in the short term. The main reason is——"

"Do you know when I found out his mother died?"

The man changed the subject, licked his lips, and took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket.

In the hazy smoke, he seemed to relax a little.

He glanced at Kakashi from a distance, his eyes full of heartache, "His mother has been in poor health, and Sakumo was on the front line and couldn't come back. I thought about the weather at that time, which was alternately hot and cold, and I was afraid that mother and son wouldn't be able to endure it.

, just come and take a look..."

"When I saw her, she... already stunk."

"It seems that he fell down while closing the window and didn't get up again."

"Kakashi didn't cry or make a fuss. He sat next to him, surrounded by the milk powder and bread he usually eats... I know that he wanted to give his mother something to eat, thinking that...

"

The man took a breath, his breath trembling.

He stared blankly, and the hand holding the cigarette vigorously rubbed his eyebrows, trying to control his emotions.

"Anyway, after I found a few people to bury her, I lied to Kakashi and said we were playing hide and seek..."

"Oh, Sakumo's child is very smart. He couldn't be fooled. He cried with us and said that he wanted to return her mother to him. I can only say that his mother went to find Sakumo..."

"After that, we approached the village and asked to raise him for a while, but Kakashi refused to agree to anything. As long as he said this, he would close the door and not come out. He would not eat in anger."

He sniffed and wiped his eyes as if nothing had happened: "Sorry, it's windy."

Yu Ye glanced at the cloudless sky and nodded accordingly.

Just as the man was about to say something more, Kakashi stumbled over and looked up at Yu Ye: "...Are you really Uchiha Yu Ye?"

He had heard this name many times from his mother.

That's what my mother heard from my father many times.

Yu Ye looked at him: "I am."

Kakashi asked doubtfully: "But, aren't you fighting?"

Yu Ye shook his head slightly: "Come back and rest for now."

Kakashi pulled on his trouser leg and said hopefully: "Then after you have rested, can you take me to find my father? My mother is gone, but my mother has said before that if she disappears, she will go to find her father.

"

Yu Ye nodded slowly: "...Well, I will take you to find it."
