Under the Bamboo Forest of Naruto

"Huhu-----"

After defeating the enemy, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. He was not physically tired, but mentally tired. After the war, seeing Kirigakure's logo again made Kakashi feel very irritable.

The death of the two Kirigakure rebels represented the end of this mission. After disposing of their bodies and taking back their forehead protectors, Ryūha and Kakashi carefully checked the preparations that the two Kirigakure rebels had brought with them.

Running softly.

The items belonging to the ninja were removed, and the remaining belongings were handed over to the villagers. At the same time, the villagers were asked to clear out the bandit dens on the mountain.

Faced with the 'hero' who had eliminated the bandits, the village chief proposed to hold a grand celebration banquet, and also invited several other nearby villages that had also been plundered by bandits to participate.

But this time, before Kakashi could say anything, Ryūha simply refused because time was limited and he needed to return to the village as soon as possible. Regarding this, the village chief expressed "regret", but still said that the village welcomes them to visit at any time.

After hearing the official statement from the village chief, Liuyu smiled and nodded in affirmation, and then set off on the road back to the village with Kakashi.

The reason why Liuyu refused the villagers' request this time was not only to take care of Kakashi's emotions, but more importantly, Liuyu didn't want to stay here anymore.

Although the village chief appeared to be very enthusiastic, Liu Yu's perception was very keen. She naturally noticed a hint of fear in the village chief's inadvertent expression. Especially after the villagers returned from the mountain after cleaning up the bandit den, the village chief's face was filled with confusion.

The look of fear on his face was a bit stronger.

Facing powerful and uncontrollable forces, people feel more fear than awe.

Ryuu and Kakashi, two teenagers, easily killed nearly a hundred bandits. In addition to thanking them for solving the village's troubles, the villagers felt more scared.

But they found Ryūha and Kakashi on a commissioned mission, and they also helped the village deal with the bandits on the mountain, so the village would naturally not show it to the public.

However, after discovering the fear of the villagers, Liu Yu would not be ignorant and would force him to stay. When Liu Yu refused the village chief's invitation and expressed that he wanted to return to the village, the village chief expressed regret on the surface, but secretly he was relieved.

One breath.

Liu Yu, who discovered all this, naturally would not expose it. The best choice would be for both parties to stay at the same level.

...

"Ta-ta----"

I don’t know how long it took, but water began to fall from the sky.

"It's raining!"

Feeling the moisture coming from the top of his head, Liu Yu raised his head and glanced at the top of his head, and said something subconsciously.

Seeing that the rain was getting worse, Liu Yu stopped and stopped walking. Then he formed a seal with his hands and summoned several broad blades of grass to cover his head, forming a temporary rain shelter.

"Kakashi!"

Liu Yu greeted Liu Yu softly and motioned for Kakashi to come in and take shelter from the rain. Kakashi did not refuse and quickly came to Liu Yu's side.

"Sashasha----"

Listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the grass blades, Liu Yu turned his head and glanced at Kakashi. Kakashi still looked indifferent, and the two of them just stayed there quietly. Facing this moment

Kakashi and Ruiyu didn't know how to persuade them.

When dealing with bandits before, Kakashi actually only needed a large-scale ninjutsu to wipe out the bandits. But Kakashi did not do that. Instead, he chose to use the ground wave technique to trap the bandits.

Then he rushed forward with a short sword. At that time, Liu Yu could tell that Kakashi was venting his anger.

There are many ways to complete the task, but Kakashi chose the slowest one. He needed to vent, and it seemed that only immersing himself in killing could make him feel less empty inside.

Faced with Kakashi who needed to kill to vent his anger, Ryūyu did not stop him and did not know how to stop him.

"Kakashi!"

After a long time, Liu Yu took the initiative to speak and broke the silence between the two.

"Um!"

Faced with Liu Yu's call, Kakashi just responded indifferently.

Kakashi's "hmm" made the two of them fall into silence again.

"You shouldn't choose to be alone."

After a long time, Liu Yu spoke again.

"I choose to be alone?"

Kakashi asked himself in a low tone.

"I didn't choose loneliness, but loneliness chose me."

Kakashi lowered his head and responded in a low voice. At the same time, Kakashi's eyes became darker. He still couldn't forget Lin and Obito, and he still couldn't forgive himself.

"..."

Kakashi's indifferent attitude made Liu Yu's words that had been brewing for a long time stay on her lips and she could no longer say them. Although Kakashi was still alive at this moment, his heart seemed to die with Obito and Rin.

Sure enough, it’s still too difficult! In the original work, Kakashi took so many years to get out of the darkness in his heart. Why can I change Kakashi in just a few words?

The last time Kakashi was able to temporarily step out of the darkness was because Kakashi still cared about Lin. But then Lin died at the hands of Kakashi. Where is Kakashi's concern now?

.....

After returning to the village, Kakashi went directly back to his residence, while Ryūha, as the captain, went to the Hokage's office to hand over the task.

After handing over the report on this mission, looking at Namikaze Minato's expectant eyes, Ryūha helplessly shook her head, expressing that she was powerless.

Seeing Ryuu shaking his head helplessly, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile, it really wasn't that easy!

"And this!"

Liuyu moved forward again and placed a book on the Hokage's desk.

"This is?"

Namikaze Minato looked at the book handed over by Ryūha and couldn't help but frowned. The cover of the book was based on black, and on the cover was a ninja forehead protector scattered on the ground, with drops of blood on the edge of the forehead protector.

But these are not the reasons that caused Namikaze Minato to frown. The reason for his frown was the book that Ryuha handed over called "How a Ninja Should Die"

"This is the book Kakashi is reading recently."

Ryūha looked at Minato Namikaze, who was frowning slightly, and replied solemnly. This book was only discovered after Ryūha returned to Konoha, but he didn't know how long Kakashi had been reading this book.

"Okay, I understand, you go down first, I will take care of it."

Looking at the big words "How Ninjas Die" on the cover, Namikaze Minato frowned even more. He gently rubbed his temples with his left hand, and weakly waved his right hand to Ryūha, signaling Ryūyu to get down. He got the order.

Ryūha slowly retreated, leaving this troublesome problem to Namikaze Minato to solve.

Watching Ryūha retreat, Namikaze Minato put his right hand on his forehead, closed his eyes and sighed softly. Kakashi, the only remaining disciple, gave him a headache.

Originally, I asked Ryūyu to accompany Kakashi on the mission this time, thinking that Ryūyu, who had already emerged from the darkness, could help Kakashi untie some knots in his heart, but unexpectedly it didn't work at all.
