Chapter 260 Kakashi's 8th Birthday
Two days later, September 15th was Kakashi's birthday.
Haneda arrived at Kakashi's door early. He flipped over and climbed in through the window.
He sniffed and it was the smell of frying fish. Kakashi was cooking.
"Did you go fishing this morning, Kakashi?"
Kakashi heard a familiar sound and stopped cooking with chopsticks:
“Do you want me to make another one?”
"Forget it, you know I have to make breakfast for Naruto and the others in the morning."
Haneda has come to Kakashi's house countless times since he was a child.
He opened the refrigerator with ease and took out a can of orange juice.
That was what Kakashi knew he liked to drink, so he often saved it for him.
Haneda opened the can, found a chair to sit down, took a sip of iced orange juice, and asked casually:
"Are you going to train in the morning? Or are you going to walk around the village?"
"Let's go for a walk. Apart from training and eating with you every day, I haven't been out for a walk for a long time."
Kakashi brought the dried and fried river fish to the table and habitually gave Haneda a bowl of rice and chopsticks.
"Want to eat?"
Seeing Haneda drinking orange juice and looking at him speechlessly, Kakashi started eating by himself.
After he finished his meal, he cleaned up and washed the dishes, then stood in front of the faucet and washed his hands over and over again.
Haneda stood behind Kakashi and held his shoulder with his right hand:
"Every time you want to go to the memorial, you always have to wash your hands for a long time."
"Come on, your hands are clean enough, at least be happy on your birthday."
Kakashi silently turned off the tap, and walked out of the house, just like he did when Haneda asked him to train together.
The streets of Konoha had not changed much. Perhaps because they were accompanying Kakashi to pay homage, both of them were relatively silent on the way.
On the way, I passed by a flower shop and bought a few bouquets of flowers, then went straight to the memorial stone and Shuo Mao's grave.
This time it was Haneda who remained silent.
After a while, he squatted down and put the flowers down:
"Oonoki has been killed by my own hands, Uncle Sakumo."
"I will also take action against the other two."
Kakashi quietly swept the grave clean and pulled out the weeds. He walked a few steps and saw that Haneda had no intention of getting up, so he said:
"Come on, you've done enough, at least be happy on my birthday with me."
Haneda hummed, and when he stood up, a leaf floated in front of his eyes.
Haneda held the leaf and said softly:
"Wherever the leaves dance, the fire grows."
"The fire will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout."
"I am already the Hokage, too, the Godaime Hokage."
After saying that, Haneda put down the hand that was holding the hilt of the Dawn Breaker and followed Kakashi to the tombstones of Obito and Rin.
At this moment, an eye was looking at this place quietly.
But Haneda and Kakashi, who were immersed in certain emotions, did not sense it.
"The flowers were blown away by the wind again? Weird."
Kakashi looked at the flowers that had been replaced last night and scattered all over the ground. He then looked at other tombstones and found that this was the only one like this.
He encountered this situation frequently and thought it might be a punishment from God, so he didn't bother to do anything and replaced Rin and Obito with new ones.
At this time, Haneda also put Lily down.
The two stood quietly for a while and then left.
After Haneda and Kakashi walked away, Obito came out.
His clothes were different from usual ones, today he wore a mask of cosplaying god and an ordinary gray coat.
He walked over to Lin's gravestone and threw away the flowers Kakashi had just replaced.
He took a deep look at the lilies in front of the tombstone, then walked in the direction of Haneda and Kakashi.
Under Haneda's deliberate guidance, the three of them arrived at Konoha's largest bookstore, two in front and one behind.
Haneda pulled Kakashi towards the most conspicuous place in the bookstore, and Obito quietly followed the crowd and walked closer to there.
There is a large poster in the most conspicuous place of the bookstore.
The poster clearly stated that the new book conceived by the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Haneda for 13 years was released - My Struggle!
The bookshelf next to the poster was already crowded with people.
Whether they were ninjas or ordinary villagers, they were all rushing to buy Haneda's new book.
The Hokage's influence in the village was evident at this moment.
Kakashi looked at the scene in front of him and said in surprise:
"You've finished writing, Haneda?!"
He remembered that Haneda was still writing it yesterday, so how come it was released today?
At this time, Haneda took out a collector's edition of My Struggle and handed it to Kakashi:
"Do you like this birthday gift I prepared for you? There is only one autographed collector's edition in the world!"
Kakashi took the book, opened it, and the bookmark stuck in the book was revealed.
There is a big word written on the exquisite pattern - Longevity.
Kakashi smiled slightly and opened the first page of the book. Just as Haneda said, there was his autograph.
"Your handwriting is a little ugly. Remember to practice your handwriting."
"Tsk~ It's the only one in the world, and you're still complaining about it. This book will definitely be a bestseller around the world in the future."
Kakashi looked at the catalog and a whole page of childhood stories suddenly made him realize something.
Kakashi asked nervously:
"Haneda, you wouldn't have written something that shouldn't have been written, right?"
"Of course, I guarantee it. I dare say that this book will be banned except for the Fire Kingdom, Rain Kingdom, Water Kingdom, and Wave Kingdom!"
"I'm asking about those things, just those things!"
"Those things? Let me think... I seem to have only written a little bit." Haneda raised a finger.
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the chapter about Fugaku's marriage according to the table of contents. He saw the intimate paradise...
The murderous look could not stop being cast towards Haneda.
Haneda asked nervously, "What are you going to do?"
"Kill you!"
The moment Kakashi spoke, Haneda's Flying Thunder God was activated and he disappeared from the spot in an instant, with Kakashi following closely behind.
Obito, who was hiding behind the bookshelf, came out. He looked at the crowd rushing to grab Haneda's new book and cursed inwardly:
"Damn, why are there so many people?"
Suddenly, an old lady fell down next to Obito. Obito hesitated for a moment and helped the old lady up:
"Grandma, let me help you."
"Thank you, young man."
Obito helped the old lady all the way, then thought of Haneda's book and rushed to the bookstore.
When it was about to be sold out, Obito rushed to buy a collector's edition of My Struggle at the last minute.
He turned to the page Kakashi had opened before and frowned when he saw the title "Intimate Paradise".
"He is indeed a sultry pervert..."
Obito muttered, frowning as he saw Kakashi sharing the intimate paradise with Haneda again.
Until he saw Haneda set fire to the book, he closed the book and smiled with satisfaction.
Suddenly, Obito realized a problem.
Haneda and Kakashi teleported via Flying Thunder God!
Unless he activates his chakra perception, it will be difficult for him to find the location of Haneda and Kakashi!
But if he turns on the chakra perception, Obito can be sure that Haneda will definitely be able to discover him!
Where should I go?
Suddenly, Obito thought of somewhere, hesitated for a moment, bought a collector's edition of Intimate Paradise, and left the bookstore.
…………
Near noon, BBQ Q BBQ restaurant.
Haneda and Kakashi booked a private room and sat opposite each other.
Just as they were about to order, the waitress suddenly pointed at the ceiling and screamed.
"Accept the challenge of my youth, Kakashi-san!!"
With Haneda and Kakashi looking speechless, Kai jumped down from the ceiling.
He raised his thumb without any embarrassment and pointed it at Haneda:
"Yoshi, you're here too, Haneda!"
"Too bad you're the Hokage now. I can't challenge you at will anymore."
Kai found a seat and sat down very naturally.
"It's okay, just look for Kakashi." Haneda said with a smile.
Hearing the familiar words, Kakashi's face became more frowned:
"Today is my birthday, can the challenge be postponed for a day, Akai?"
"Ah? Today is your birthday, Kakashi!"
Kai felt around but found nothing on his body, so he picked the flowers in the box and gave them to Kakashi.
"Happy birthday, Kakashi!"
Kakashi smiled and said, "Although it was a bit perfunctory, thank you, Kai."
While Gai and Kakashi were chatting, Haneda had already ordered a grilled pork belly set meal and a glass of iced orange juice.
He turned around and asked:
"Is it the same as before, Kakashi, Gai?"
Seeing Kakashi and Kai nodded, Haneda said to the waitress:
"One more C set with orange juice on the rocks, and one B set with Coke on the rocks, thank you."
The waitress bowed and apologized, "I'm sorry, sir, the C set meal was cancelled two years ago. Now there are only a la carte or similar saury set meals."
"Then we'll have the saury set meal, thank you." Kakashi said.
"Yes, please sir."
The waitress took down the orders of Haneda and his two companions and then left.
Kakashi sighed, "I haven't been here to eat barbecue for a few years. A lot of things have changed."
"Do you need to change back?" Haneda asked.
Kakashi knew what Haneda meant and shook his head.
He felt there was no need to use the power in his hands to force changes.
At this time, a man wearing a COS god mask and an ordinary gray coat poked his head out of the door:
"I'm a high school girl who has a crush on Hokage-sama. Can you sign an autograph for me?"
Kakashi and Guy looked at the funny masked man in front of them in surprise.
They could tell from his Adam's apple that the masked man was a boy.
Haneda recognized the person in front of him. His face was full of black lines, but after a moment he regained his composure and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:
"sure."
"Thank you, Hokage!!!" Obito walked in excitedly, waving his hands.
He pulled out a collector's edition of Mein Kampf and handed it to Haneda.
Haneda looked up and exchanged a deep look with Obito before he signed his name.
When the last stroke of the signature fell, Obito whispered:
"You should practice your calligraphy when you are only fifty steps away from the truth."
Haneda chuckled: "Same to you."
Obito left with the signed collector's edition of My Struggle.
Kakashi complained:
"You said there was only one copy in the world, Haneda? How come there's already one more copy in such a short time?"
"Someone asked me to sign in person, how could I not sign?" Haneda defended.
At this time, a waiter came in, holding Haneda's new book, and said excitedly:
"Hokage-sama, could you please sign an autograph for me?"
Haneda subconsciously glanced at Kakashi and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, I don't have a pen."
The waiter felt his pocket and found that he didn't bring a pen, so he walked out embarrassedly.
But outsiders could see that he had a pen ready in the hand holding the book.
Kakashi couldn't help laughing as he watched Haneda use illusions to tease ordinary people:
"Okay, okay, these are the only two gifts you gave me in the world, and I like them very much."
…………
After dinner, Haneda walked with Kakashi again.
I visited the Ninja Academy, visited the Hatake Family Training Ground, and also went to the Third Training Ground.
After nightfall, Haneda brought Kakashi a birthday cake.
After Kakashi blew out the eighteen candles, he said happy birthday.
It was not until late at night, after midnight, that Haneda returned home.
After watching Haneda leave, Kakashi went to the faucet and washed his hands countless times.
He used a tissue to wipe off any possible dirt on his hands and returned to the bedroom.
The windows creaked in the moonlight.
Kakashi knew someone had been there and didn't try to hide it.
He smiled and walked to the desk, where a collector's edition of Intimacy Paradise was placed on the table.
"Did you sneak me another copy, Haneda?"
Kakashi put the collector's edition of My Struggle and Intimate Paradise together and placed them on the middle bookshelf.
In a place where he was not paying attention, an eye was staring at him quietly.
