Chapter 111: Konoha White Fang Opens His Heart
Night gradually fell and Konoha Village was shrouded in soft moonlight.
Yuxi and Kaguya Otsutsuki walked into the mansion together. The mansion was brightly lit, warm and quiet.
The two washed the dug vegetables and began to prepare dinner.
Yuxi was cutting the vegetables skillfully, with a bright light shining in her eyes, as if she had a natural love for cooking.
Kaguya Otsutsuki was helping out on the side. Although she usually seemed aloof, she was gentle and considerate in front of Yuxi.
"Sister Yuxi, you are really an outstanding person."
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki said suddenly, her voice soft and sincere.
"No, no, I just did what I was supposed to do."
Yuxi responded modestly, but a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
The two chatted while busying themselves, and soon a sumptuous dinner was ready.
The fragrant dishes made people salivate. Yuxi and Kaguya Otsutsuki sat around the table and began to enjoy this wonderful time.
After dinner, the two sat in the courtyard to admire the moon. The moonlight sprinkled on them like water, making them look particularly peaceful and harmonious.
Yu Xi suddenly said:
"Sister Kaguya, what do you think is the most important thing in life?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
“In my opinion, the most important thing in life is to cherish the people around you and protect the ones you love.
"Whether it's family, friendship or love, they are all worth our careful care."
After hearing this, Yuxi nodded with deep emotion. She knew very well that what Kaguya Otsutsuki said was from the bottom of her heart.
The two smiled at each other, as if they had a spiritual connection at this moment.
It was late at night, and Yuxi and Kaguya Otsutsuki returned to their room to rest together.
Under the moonlight, the two figures appear particularly harmonious and beautiful.
Konoha Village.
The situation inside Qimu Mansion changed drastically.
The moonlight is like water, sprinkling on the territory of the Hatake family in Konoha Village. In the silence, there is an unknown undercurrent hidden.
At this moment, Hatake Sakumo was sitting in the yard with his talented son Hatake Kakashi, enjoying the rare tranquility.
"Kakashi, you know what? I almost made a wrong decision."
There was a solemnity in Hatake Sakumo's voice that he had never heard of before.
Kakashi turned to look at his father:
"What happened, father?"
Hatake Sakumo took a deep breath, as if to absorb all the heaviness into his body:
"You must have heard about my story, too."
He paused and continued:
“I gave up the mission and chose to protect my teammates.
"Many people are scolding me, saying that I betrayed Konoha and the beliefs of ninja."
Kakashi didn't say anything, but his eyes were full of trust and support for his father.
"I was planning to end it all by committing suicide tonight, in my own way."
Hatake Sakumo's voice was a little trembling, but his eyes were extremely firm.
"But just as I was about to leave this world, I suddenly remembered a person mentioned in the secret."
"Oh? Who is it?"
Kakashi's curiosity was completely piqued.
"She is the legendary god of physical skills - Lady Yuxi!" A gleam of light flashed in Hatake Sakumo's eyes.
"I went to see her this afternoon."
“She listened to my story and gave me an evaluation.”
Hearing the title of the God of Taijutsu, Kakashi instantly became nervous.
"What's the evaluation?" Kakashi asked eagerly.
"She said I did nothing wrong." Hatake Sakumo's voice gradually became firm.
"She said that a true ninja exists not only to complete missions, but more importantly to protect his companions and guard his beliefs."
After hearing this, Kakashi felt excited.
"So, I have decided not to get involved in the disputes in the village anymore. I want to take good care of myself in my old age and accompany you as you grow up."
Hatake Sakumo looked at Kakashi with fatherly love in his eyes.
After hearing this, Kakashi's heart was filled with warmth and gratitude.
He knew that his father was a true ninja, a ninja worthy of his respect and learning.
Kakashi looked at his father in shock. At this moment, he seemed to see his father's deep inner struggle and relief.
He never thought that his father, who had always been known as the White Fang of Konoha, would have such heavy psychological pressure.
"Father, have you really made up your mind?"
Kakashi asked softly, afraid that his voice would break the rare silence.
Hatake Sakumo nodded, a long-lost relaxed smile on his face:
"Yes, Kakashi."
"I've made up my mind! I want to put down all my burdens and enjoy the beauty of life with you."
A warm feeling welled up in Kakashi's heart, he never thought there would be such a day.
My father would stand by me so firmly and support my choice.
He held his father's hand tightly, with a determined light in his eyes:
"Father, I believe in you. No matter what path you choose, I will always be by your side."
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the two of them, as if giving this moment a layer of sacred glow.
Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi smiled at each other, and the barriers in their hearts disappeared at this moment.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the night.
A figure rushed into the Hatake residence. It was a ninja from Konoha Village.
"Master Hatake! Something terrible has happened!" he gasped.
"A large number of enemies suddenly appeared at the border of the Fire Country, and they seem to be intending to start a war!"
Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi looked at each other, and there was a flash of determination in their eyes.
They knew that this was a severe test for Konoha Village and a moment for them to demonstrate their ninja faith.
"Kakashi, let's go."
Hatake Sakumo stood up and straightened his clothes, as if he had returned to the high-spirited ninja he was back then.
Kakashi followed closely behind, a determined gleam in his eyes.
He knew that this time, he and his father would protect Konoha Village and everything they loved.
The two men walked out of the mansion, and the moonlight shone on them, as if they were covered with a layer of silver armor.
They walked with firm steps towards the border of the Fire Nation.
At the border of the Fire Nation, the battle is fierce.
The enemies came like a tide, and Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi were surrounded.
"Father, what should we do?" Kakashi asked anxiously.
Hatake Sakumo looked calm.
"Don't be afraid, Kakashi. We must believe in our own strength and also believe in our partners."
Before he finished his words, a brilliant ninjutsu light streaked across the sky. It was the support from Konoha Village that had arrived!
"Come on, everyone! To protect our home!"
The Konoha ninjas shouted in unison, their morale greatly boosted.
Seeing this, Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi also used their own best ninjutsu to fight a desperate battle with the enemy.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the enemy was finally repelled and the border of the Fire Nation returned to peace again.
"Thank you, father."
Kakashi looked at the wounded Hatake Sakumo with admiration in his eyes.
Hatake Sakumo smiled and patted Kakashi's shoulder, "We are father and son, and comrades. You're welcome, this is what we should do."
