Chapter 12 A Book Only Adults Can Understand

That night was like any other night, it was over and done with.

Except for Uchiha Sasuke who was still asking questions without giving up, Haruko and Uchiha Itachi acted as if nothing had happened in the morning.

The main reason was that Uchiha Itachi's tasks became more and more busy, and Haruko Haruma deliberately reduced the number of times she went to the Uchiha family.

As a result, since that night, the two of them have never met each other again.

I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing…

In the morning, Haruko was staring out the window with her hands on her shoulders.

"Haruko! Haruko!"

"Ah?" Haruko Zao came back to her senses.

Uzumaki Naruto sat on her right, looking at her a little worriedly, "Haruko, I've called you many times, what's wrong with you lately? You seem to be in a daze often?"

"Nothing, I just thought I might need to go to the bookstore today." Haruko made an excuse in the morning, "The test is approaching, and I want to find some information to consolidate my knowledge."

"Oh well, if there's anything, Haruko, you must tell me! Although I may not be able to help...but I will definitely try my best!"

Uzumaki Naruto took her hand and assured her seriously.

"Okay, thank you Naruto!" Haruko Zaoma, who was being hugged by the golden retriever, couldn't help but smile.

"Hehehe, no!" Uzumaki Naruto began to scratch his head embarrassedly again.

Recently, I have been too obsessed with the confession that day, so much so that I am usually uneasy. In the morning, after being reminded by Uzumaki Naruto, Haruko decided to put it aside for the time being and concentrate on the upcoming test.

So after school, Haruko really planned to go to Shueido Bookstore first. Originally, Uzumaki Naruto wanted to go with her, but as luck would have it, he was left behind by teacher Iruka Umino to copy lessons as punishment because of his previous mischief, so Haruko had to go shopping alone.

Come to Jiyingtang Bookstore.

"...Do I really not have the aura of a time traveler? How come I can always meet important characters when I buy a book?"

Looking at the white-haired, one-eyed man with a mask who was reading "Intimate Paradise" behind the bookshelf, Haruko Zaoma cried silently in her heart.

Then she suddenly reacted:

Isn't that right? Didn't I already decide to get closer to the protagonists and try to get more support? Then why should I hide? !

Haruko was shocked. What a damn conditioned reflex...

"Yo little sister."

"!!!"

In the morning, Haruko was frightened by the cold voice and got goose bumps all over her body. She jumped two meters away.

Then he found that the person he had been spying on had quietly come around behind him at some point, and even made a vicious sound to scare him.

Kakashi Hatake, who just felt a strange gaze and hid in reverse out of occupational disease: ...I am bad?

Despite her plan to curry favor with the powerful, Haruko Zaoma still couldn't take the initiative to chat with strangers, especially adults, so she chose to quickly deal with it and leave.

"Uncle...ah, big brother, what can I do for you?" Because she had a bad impression of someone, Haruko Zaoma almost said something like "uncle", which was an ooc word, but she quickly corrected herself.

She just called me uncle, right? She was going to call me uncle, right?

Kakashi Hatake had mixed feelings, but his dead eyes only looked even more dead.

I am only 21 years old this year, and I don’t look like an uncle at all! Is it because the mask makes me look old?

"Big brother?" Haruko Zao felt that the person opposite her seemed a little bit unintelligent.

"Oh!" Hatake Kakashi came back to his senses, "Little sister has been looking at me, is there something wrong?"

Let's just say that Naruto is a high-risk world! This is all done by ninjas. If you peek for a few seconds, you will be caught by the real owner. How embarrassing!

Haruko could only lie with her eyes open and put on her best sweet smile, "Big brother is standing there and looking very serious, so I am a little curious about what he is looking at?"

Of course, Zaojian Qingzi knew that the book he was reading was not suitable for children. She said this not only to quickly end the topic, but also out of her childish desire to secretly get back at the boss.

"Uh..." As expected, Hatake Kakashi was choked by her, "They are just some books that only adults can understand, hahaha..."

Just keep pretending.

"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you! Big brother, I'll be leaving first!" Haruko Zao waved at him and prepared to leave.

"Haruko!"

Unexpectedly, the punishment from Uzumaki Naruto ended so quickly. As Haruko watched the little golden retriever running to her, panting but still smiling brightly at her, she felt a little itchy and wanted to stroke it...

"Naruto, why are you running so fast? You're sweating." Haruko Asahi took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Feeling the gentle movement of her handkerchief against his forehead, Uzumaki Naruto nervously grabbed the sides of his pants, his bearded cheeks flushed slightly, but he did not reject her approach.

"I was afraid that Haruko had already finished shopping and left, so I thought of coming here quickly..." Uzumaki Naruto said in a low voice.

"Don't be so anxious next time. If you're worried about missing it, you can just meet up at my house." Haruko wiped herself and folded the handkerchief in the morning. "But I'm still very happy that Naruto came to see me!"

Uzumaki Naruto waited for Haruko to fold the handkerchief in the morning, then reached out to take it and put it in his pocket.

The two of them have become accustomed to this way of getting along. Haruko usually takes good care of him in the morning, but Uzumaki Naruto is still embarrassed to let the dirty things be put back on her, so like the handkerchief now, Uzumaki Naruto will put it in his pocket.

As for other miscellaneous items such as Band-Aids and Haruko Hayama's hairbands, Haruko Hayama would also take a few and put them on Uzumaki Naruto's body. After all, Haruko Hayama's clothes could not always hold so many things, so later on, the two of them got used to the fact that Uzumaki Naruto gradually turned into a treasure bag.

"Hey, who is this uncle?" Uzumaki Naruto noticed the white-haired, one-eyed, masked man standing next to Hayama Haruko.

Hatake Kakashi was called uncle for the second time: ...

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Hatake Kakashi and I'm 18 years old." He emphasized 18 seriously.

"Oh~ My name is Uzumaki Naruto! I am 7 years old, my favorite food is ramen, and my favorite person is Haruko. Please give me your advice, uncle!" Uzumaki Naruto introduced himself with a smile.

Haruko Asagumi also introduced herself: "My name is Haruko Asagumi, I'm 6 and a half years old, my favorite food is now tricolor dumplings, and my favorite person is... there are many, but Naruto is definitely one of them!"

"...No matter what I do, I shouldn't be called uncle, right?" Hatake Kakashi's dead fish expression revealed resentment.

In the morning, Haruko approached Uzumaki Naruto and reminded him quietly: "Naruto, he is not happy that you call him uncle. He may think that he looks old, so we should call him brother."

Elite jonin Hatake Kakashi, who heard it clearly, said: …

"Oh, Brother Kakashi, are you here to buy books too?" Upon being reminded, Uzumaki Naruto immediately changed his address.

Morning Haruko replied maliciously, "Yes, big brother said that the books he bought are only understandable to adults."

"A book that only adults can understand? Why? Can't we kids understand it?" Uzumaki Naruto indeed raised a soul-searching question.

"I don't know. Maybe it says something that you can only do when you grow up."

"Something you can only do when you grow up?"

"Ahem!" Hatake Kakashi quickly interrupted them.

Originally, he and Haruko Hayama spoke in a relatively low voice, but Uzumaki Naruto was such a loud mouth that everyone around him could hear everything he said, causing Kakashi Hatake to receive countless strange looks at once.

"Brother Kakashi, do you have a cold?" asked the innocent Uzumaki Naruto.

"Uh, no, no, Naruto, right? Since you like ramen, big brother will treat you to ramen, okay? Let's go out quickly." Hatake Kakashi tempted them with a smile.

Weird... so weird... he looks exactly like a weird uncle who is trying to trick children!

Haruko in the morning was really unbearable to look at.

"Ramen?! Great, great! Thank you so much, Brother Kakashi!" Uzumaki Naruto agreed without any guard and smiled brightly.

...Naruto, don't be so naive as a child!
