Chapter 124 They are Class 7

"Teacher Kakashi is such a thief! We were supposed to be on this mission together, but he only let us do it while he was just sitting here drinking tea!"

In the morning, when Haruko returned to Grandma Cat's place to deliver a task, she saw Hatake Kakashi sitting cross-legged at a low table drinking tea and reading a book, looking so leisurely.

Seeing them coming back, Hatake Kakashi waved his hand, "Hey, you're back."

"What do you mean 'yo you're back'? Kakashi-sensei doesn't act like a teacher at all!" Uzumaki Naruto angrily squeezed in and sat next to him.

Being disturbed by him, Kakashi Hatake could no longer concentrate on enjoying "Intimate Paradise" and had no choice but to close the book.

In the morning, after Haruko handed the paper with the Nekomata's paw print to the cat lady, she squeezed to the other side of Hatake Kakashi angrily.

Being attacked from both sides, Hatake Kakashi: ...

The cat lady who received the last paw print was particularly happy. Her originally narrowed eyes narrowed into slits at this moment.

Haruko couldn't help thinking in the morning that Granny Cat only seemed like someone who was not easy to mess with, but she was actually a pretty cute old lady!

"By the way, this is such a memorable mission, why don't we take a photo together!" Haruko Asahi suggested.

"Great, great!" The person who was happiest to be able to record with her was Uzumaki Naruto.

Hatake Kakashi just found an excuse to stand up and get away from their pitiful attack.

"You are still children after all. I will reluctantly take pictures for you."

"Although Mr. Kakashi couldn't help, since you're here, you can be allowed to shoot with us!" Haruko Asahi smiled slyly.

Hatake Kakashi looked dead again when he heard this, "Hey - the teacher is not someone who likes to be on camera."

"Even though you were standing in the middle when we took the group photo before..." Uzumaki Naruto looked at him and complained loudly.

In the morning, Haruko looked at Uchiha Sasuke, who was standing there with an unclear expression, with great interest, feeling a little strange.

"Sasuke? Sasuke!"

Uchiha Sasuke raised his eyes slightly and glanced at her, "Whatever."

Haruko was stunned, her movements were stiff for a moment. It was the first time that Sasuke showed her such a cold look, as if he was looking at a stranger...

Morning Haruko quickly stood up and approached him worriedly, "Sasuke, are you in a bad mood?"

However, she didn't expect that Uchiha Sasuke subconsciously took two steps back when she approached, which made Haruko Hayama even more frozen in place.

The others were attracted by their voices, and were surprised to see Uchiha Sasuke's unusual reaction.

Noticing that everyone else was looking at him strangely, Uchiha Sasuke came to his senses and restored his original attitude, "Nothing, just take the picture."

He avoided Haruko Asahi's sight, walked past her and went straight to Grandma Cat.

Seeing Haruko Zaoma at a loss, Uzumaki Naruto stood up unhappily.

"Haruko didn't do anything to offend you. If you're unhappy, just say it!"

The only thing he didn't want to be taught a lesson by Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke raised the corners of his lips sarcastically and uttered harsh words without thinking.

"Wag your tail and chase after her like you do without dignity? I really can't do that."

When he said this, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Haruko Hayama in panic, and seeing her hurt expression, Uchiha Sasuke turned his head away and said nothing.

Uzumaki Naruto was enraged by him and wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Hatake Kakashi.

Kakashi Hatake looked between Uchiha Sasuke and Hayama Haruko with a scrutinizing gaze. What on earth happened during their trip?

Morning Haruko forced a smile and said, "Let's take pictures next time. Everyone is tired today."

After saying that, she walked out of the room in a hurry. When Uzumaki Naruto saw her leaving, he quickly chased after her.

Hatake Kakashi walked up to Uchiha Sasuke, who was emitting a chill, and said in a more serious tone, "Want to chat?"

Uchiha Sasuke didn't even look at him, just pursed his lips and left.

Hatake Kakashi sighed, "What a group of problem students."

Granny Cat stroked the lazy Ninja Cat in her arms and chuckled, "You are all young people."

……

After sending away the concerned Naruto Uzumaki, Haruko walked alone on the street in the morning to digest her emotions.

She didn't know why Sasuke was fine one second and angry the next, but judging from what he said in anger, it should be her who made him angry...

"Do you need psychological counseling from the teacher?"

Hatake Kakashi appeared out of nowhere and casually followed her.

Having gotten used to his elusiveness, Haruko asked in confusion: "Teacher Kakashi, what on earth did I do to make Sasuke angry?"

As a mature adult, of course Kakashi Hatake saw through the complicated and ignorant relationship between them at a glance. Uzumaki Naruto was not the only one who was stupid. His three students were all stupid pieces of wood.

"Maybe it's jealousy." Hatake Kakashi said lightly.

Morning Haruko looked at him suspiciously and asked three questions in a row: "Jealous? Jealous of me? What do I have that is worthy of Sasuke's jealousy?"

"I'm jealous that Naruto gets more attention from you." Hatake Kakashi recalled the gloomy, angry and self-deprecating look that Uchiha Sasuke gave Uzumaki Naruto.

"But I treat both of them the same. I don't understand..."

Haruko Zao knew that jealousy could exist among friends, but when she asked herself, she realized that she really did not favor either side.

Hatake Kakashi stopped, and Hayama Haruko also stopped with him, not knowing why.

"It's because Haruko is kind to everyone, has no prejudice against anyone, and is sincere to everyone, that makes everyone want to occupy a place beside you even more."

Hatake Kakashi still responded in a nonchalant tone, and when she showed a surprised expression, he retracted his serious look that was completely different from his tone.

Talking about others, isn't he also a member of "everyone"?

As early as when he first came into contact with Haruko Hayama, he felt the same gentleness as Lin, yet different from that of Lin.

Although he approached her with the mission of the Sandaime, Hatake Kakashi fully recognized a child who sincerely cherished all bonds.

Even when facing a teacher like him who is not considered a serious teacher, Zaoma Haruko still gives her heart to him, and even the two difficult boys unconsciously accept him as a teacher.

By the time they took their first photo together, Hatake Kakashi was already fully a member of Team 7.

As for the choice between surveillance and protection, he actually already has the answer in his mind, right?

When he silently recited the second option, he had already made it clear that he subconsciously did not want to choose the first option.

Maybe Haruko Hayama really has magical powers just as Uzumaki Naruto said.

"But...I..." Haruko was a little incoherent in the morning. She never expected this to be the reason.

She just wants to protect every bond well. Each of them is a unique and most important friend to her.

Seeing her confusion and uneasiness, Hatake Kakashi placed his large hand on her head and stroked her hair with a gentleness that was not in keeping with his image.

"So, no matter what happened, it's not Haruko's fault. Don't blame yourself."

In the morning, Haruko met his eyes, as casually as usual, but inexplicably it gave her peace and courage at this moment.

"I understand, Kakashi-sensei! I'll have a good talk with Sasuke!"

Watching her back as she figured it out and left, Hatake Kakashi scratched his head helplessly.

I always feel like she didn't understand what he meant...
