Hikaru Hokage

"Don't worry, Kakashi, I'm in good condition now. Tsunade-sama also said that I can eat and drink normally. It's just a little inconvenient to move, and maybe I will recover in the future!"

Bright eyes and a strong tone of voice.

Although almost his whole body was covered with bandages, Obito Uchiha, lying on the hospital bed, looked very energetic.

"Ah."

Faced with Obito like this, Kakashi said nothing, just turned his face away silently.

Hino Hikaru looked over from his own angle and found that Kakashi's closed eye seemed to be crying.

Then he turned to look at Obito's face.

Sure enough, there was only one eye left there.

"Hey, Hino, you finally woke up?"

"Your hands and feet..."

Even though they were wrapped in bandages, Hikaru Hino could see that Obito's hands and feet seemed...

Only half left.

"It's nothing, half of it is still good, and Tsunade-sama said that maybe she can make prosthetic limbs to replace my hands and feet for me to use in the future. I should be able to fully return to normal by then!"

"yes."

Indeed, if Tsunade and Orochimaru can cooperate with each other, they may soon be able to develop prosthetics that have similar functions to human hands and feet.

only……

This is only a theoretical state. With the current "conservative" and "old-fashioned" style of Konoha Village, Hino Hikaru feels that it will take at least ten to twenty years before Konoha Hospital will have this technology.

"By the way, I said I would break the rumors about you. This time no one died and we successfully completed the mission. I did what I said, right?"

"That's right..."

But is it really a success?

Thinking of everything that happened during this mission and Obito's current situation, Hino Hikaru wanted to shake his head.

But seeing such an optimistic look on the other person's face, he could only compliment him a few times.

"Thank you for remembering this."

Hino Hikaru looked at Obito in front of him with complicated emotions.

He didn't expect Obito to still remember this incident, he had almost forgotten it.

"Hehehe... I am the elite of the Uchiha clan. Humph, there is no need to thank you for this little thing. In the future, I will become... ahh... it hurts!"

"Obito! Really, I told you not to move, and now you've touched the wound again. Be careful, you will really bleed to death..."

"Sorry sorry..."

Faced with Nohara Rin's worries, Obito immediately calmed down from his excitement.

Then he excitedly told Nohara Rin how he had used Sharingan to "easily" get rid of the two Iwagakure Jounin who had previously hindered him and Kakashi.

"Two days ago, before Obito had the surgery, he had to give me his eyes no matter what, otherwise he wouldn't have the surgery."

Kakashi noticed Hino Hikaru's gaze towards him and took the initiative to open the eye that had been closed before.

Inside is the scarlet three-magatama Sharingan.

"He actually knows everything, but he is still optimistic about everything."

Kakashi knew that most of what Tsunade said to Obito after the operation was just comfort.

"It will be fine."

Hino Hikaru looked at Obito, who was still talking endlessly in front of Nohara Rin, and then looked at the blue sky outside the tent.

He seems to have changed something, but it seems like nothing has changed.

"Kakashi, I seem to owe you a story before, right?"

The extremely dangerous mission finally came to an end. Hino Hikaru wanted to relax, but then he remembered that Danzo was still in trouble in the village.

Although at present, it is unlikely that Danzo will take care of this little guy in the short term.

But he has always believed in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Even if he couldn't kill the other party at once, he would still make the other party feel uncomfortable.

And the Kakashi in front of him happened to be a qualified helper.

"what story?"

Although Kakashi was not in the mood, he had already heard the topic of the story from Hino Hikaru twice.

This made him a little curious.

Chapter 48 Kakashi: I'm at your mercy

"It's a story from several years ago..."

Just as Hino Hikaru opened his mouth, he saw that Obito and Nohara Rin had stopped talking, and both of them looked straight over.

"You also want to hear a story?"

"Is it a story that is inconvenient to tell us?"

Nohara Lin considerately planned to leave the tent.

"No, just listen to it if you want. It's just a common story that happened in Konoha Village."

"Ok!"

After receiving Hino Hikaru's affirmative reply, Nohara Lin sat back down happily, and her delicate eyes began to stare unblinkingly at Hino Hikaru, who was about to tell a story.

"The story of Konoha Village?"

Obito also became interested.

At times like this, it seems that only a good story can make people forget the pain in front of them.

"Yes, that was several years ago. At that time..."

Hino Hikaru talked about a past incident.

-

That was probably about five years ago.

Hino Hikaru remembered that at that time, there was "widespread rumors" in the village that the team led by Hatake Sakumo failed in their mission, causing the Fire Nation daimyo to be furious.

"finally coming?"

When he was still in the ninja school at that time, he heard the adults and children in the village accusing Hatake Sakumo, and he already had some kind of premonition in his heart.

Hino Hikaru remembers that day when Ichiraku Ramen first came to Konoha and opened.

"Do you want to intervene? No, I don't seem to have the ability to intervene. The rhythm and direction of the village have been brought up. At this time, the problem cannot be solved by just one or two people. The key is..."

As the current Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen is willing.

Or maybe it was him, the Hokage, who led the public opinion in the village to this point?

Hino Hikaru thought this in his mind, while turning on the invisibility as usual and wandering around the village.

He likes this situation where he can see others but others can't see him.

And this can be regarded as the only way he can pass the boring time since he traveled to this world.

However, unlike wandering on the street in the past, this time he chose to take a detour to the Hatake Clan's residence.

But today's Hatake family seems to be no different from before.

Kakashi was attracted by the traveling merchants in the town to participate in some ninjutsu performance competition, while his father Hatake Sakumo was washing and cooking at home waiting for his son to come back.

-

"Ah! I remembered, this guy Kakashi won No. 1 again at that time!"

Before Hino Hikaru finished his story, Obito started yelling on the bed.

He looked very resentful.

It seems that not only Kakashi was there at that time, but Nohara Lin should also be there.

"Hmm, then Kakashi also led us to kick the can, and we won every time, and then let Obito be the ghost every time~"

Nohara Lin also remembered interesting things from her childhood.

She also didn't forget that at that time, Kakashi never talked about ninja rules the most, but about protecting all his companions.

Just a gentle and handsome child king.

"Yeah, that Kakashi guy has been targeting me from the beginning, it's so abominable!"

Obito hurriedly complained to Nohara Rin, but it only made Nohara Rin smile.

"Ah."

But as the person involved, Kakashi just nodded casually, because he already knew what Hino Hikari was going to tell the story.

Because it was that night.

Just when he followed his father's instructions, established relationships with other children in the village, and gained happiness at the same time——

The sun was setting, but the clothes at home were still hanging outside, and the food in the house was still steaming.

He excitedly opened the door to his father's room.

"I thought nothing would happen that day, but when I finished wandering around and planned to return to my home..."

Of course Hino Hikaru concealed his worries in his narrative and did not mention his visit to Hatake's house.

"I saw Danzo."

"Tuanzo?"

Kakashi's gray eyes suddenly woke up.

Immersed in both beautiful and sad memories, he raised his face in surprise and looked at Hino Hikaru, who was still telling the story.

"My...thing...is related to him?"

"You can choose to listen to the following story or not, and you can choose to believe it or not."

Hino Hikaru did not answer Kakashi's question directly, but continued to tell.

-

The house Hino Hikaru lived in at that time was still a property left by his parents in this life.

It is a house with a yard. The space is just right for a family of three, and it is neither crowded nor empty.

Hino Hikaru is very satisfied with this house, and is even a little grateful to his parents, whom he has barely met in his life.

But this is not important. What is important is that the person living next door to this house happens to be the teammate Hatake Sakumo who wants to rescue even if the mission fails.

There was nothing surprising about seeing Danzo at first, but when he saw Danzo entering the room next door, Hino Hikaru couldn't help but get curious.

So he also sneaked into the corner next door.

"The daimyo is very dissatisfied with Konoha's performance in this mission, and even plans to reduce the funding for us. All this is because of White Fang and you..."

Just as he lurked here, Hino Hikaru heard Danzo's dull, slightly old-fashioned voice.

"I'm sorry, Danzo-sama, I don't want this ending either. I'm willing to give my life, everything I have, for the village!"

The ninja who was talking to Danzo seemed to have contemplated suicide.

"But please let my family and children go, they don't know anything..."

Oh, maybe Danzo has sent his men to control the other party's family at this time.

"Don't be so anxious. The main responsibility for this matter lies with White Fang, not you. You just need to go over and have a good talk with White Fang now and make him confess. I guarantee that you and your family can still be the same as before. , live happily in the village."

"I……"

The ninja hesitated.

But at last a woman's scream came from the room, and the ninja no longer hesitated.
