Naruto: First Love

Chapter 189: Once a teacher, always a teacher. Why?
As night fell, Huo Wu's eyes completely turned into darkness, just like when he was completely blind before.

Standing at the window and looking outside, she could occasionally see a little light. Although it was faint, it was like plants in the desert, giving Huo Wu guidance.

Sasuke sat outside in a tree, looking at the moon above his head, wondering what he was thinking.

"The weather should be nice tomorrow."

A sudden sound came from outside the window. Huo Wu was stunned for a moment and turned to look outside. Unfortunately, it was pitch black and there was no figure in sight.

"Really? Will the sun come out?" Huo Wu's voice was faint and light.

Such a voice made Sasuke and Kakashi couldn't help but turn around. Seeing her cold expression, which was unlike her usual calmness with a hint of playfulness, or passion with a hint of coldness, they were all stunned.

Kakashi, on the other hand, looked up at the starry sky and finally nodded. Then he remembered that Huo Wu couldn't see it, so he added, "It should be foggy."

It is normal to have fog on a sunny day after rain.

However, Huo Wu suddenly thought of someone and her heart skipped a beat.

Is Itachi coming?
I vaguely remember the person I saw that night. Who was he? He had chakra similar to Sasuke's, but he was not Itachi's.

"Sasuke, go practice." Thinking of Sasuke's knot in her heart, Huo Wu said hurriedly.

Sasuke was stunned. The conversation had gone too far. He had just asked about the weather, and now he was talking about practice? Did he think the weather was good and good for training?
However, since Huo Wu asked him to leave, he naturally had to leave.

I spent the entire afternoon guarding Huo Wu in the hospital, taking care of her meals, talking to her about the Uchiha clan, and how to upgrade Fire Style to Flame Style. I didn't do any actual practice, so I felt a little uncomfortable.

He has never slacked off in practicing ninjutsu and taijutsu over the years, and his reputation as a genius is built on hard work.

As soon as Sasuke left, Huowu called Kakashi's name in a probing tone, "Kakashi?"

Kakashi wanted to avoid being alone with Huo Wu, but given the current situation, they had no choice but to be alone, which made him helpless and worried.

He jumped down from above and landed in the ward. "What's the matter?"

The voice was very cold, different from his usual lazy tone. Huo Wu keenly noticed that Kakashi seemed a little nervous?

As soon as this thought came up, Huo Wu laughed. How could it be possible? That was Kakashi. How could he be nervous? Even when facing an enemy, he would calmly analyze the enemy's strengths and weaknesses. How could he be nervous now?

"I want to be discharged from the hospital." Because the wounds on his body had been treated, except for the wound under the ribs, the rest of the wounds had scabbed over and there was no problem.

The wound under the ribs almost injured the bone and it would take more than an hour or two to heal, after all, the wound was so big.

Apart from changing the medicine on the subcostal wound every day, there is no need to stay in the hospital all the time.

To be honest, after graduation, she seemed to spend more time in the hospital than at her own home - although when she was not in the hospital, she often went to Kakashi's house and the Sandai's house, but she also spent a lot of time at her own home.

Kakashi blinked his eyes. If Huo Wu was discharged from the hospital, there was no need to think about where to live. Where else would she live except his house?

Huo Wu's apartment had been destroyed a long time ago, and because of the Chunin Exams, no one had repaired it. Now it was being rebuilt after Orochimaru's invasion, but a lot of places had to be rebuilt, and the school had been damaged to a certain extent. The focus of the reconstruction was also on schools and other important facilities, and residential houses were put behind.

He had wanted to keep his distance from Huo Wu, but if Huo Wu lived in his house, could he still keep his distance? Was he going to stay away from home forever?

"Let's wait, your apartment..."

As soon as these words came out, Huo Wu froze. Apartment?
Kakashi wanted her to live on her own and didn't want her to live in his house anymore? Did he dislike her?
Huo Wu felt her nose getting a little sour. It was such a painful feeling to be rejected by the person she loved!
"Why……"

Huo Wu suppressed the urge to turn around and throw herself onto the bed, and asked in a low voice.

Huo Wu's voice was too low and suppressed. Kakashi immediately heard the grievance in it and turned his head to look at Huo Wu.

There are drops of water flowing in the misty eyes, rippling the light, which is very adorable.

Kakashi felt his heart soften and almost wanted to save what he had said. He quickly turned his head and looked into the distance again.

"Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to be alone?" Kakashi tried to persuade Huo Wu, "I am a grown man after all, ah, haha, haha..."

In the end, it just turned into a dry laugh because Huo Wu's face turned gloomy.

Feeling inexplicably guilty, Kakashi didn't even dare to look back at Huo Wu's expression.

"I want to know, what's inconvenient about it? I've lived at your place for so many days, and I didn't feel it was inconvenient. I just ate a few of your meals, stayed in your room, and drank your water, didn't I?"

Kakashi scratched his head, as if... Huo Wu was angry?

His instinct told him that he couldn't make Huo Wu angry. After all, living with him wouldn't affect him at all. Huo Wu was always very quiet and didn't make any noise. As for water, electricity, food and drink? How much could Huo Wu use?
If it were someone else, Kakashi could still say that he had no obligation to take care of Huo Wu and let Huo Wu live in his house, but he didn't dare... He was worried that if he said so, he would regret it someday.

After all, that person was Huo Wu, not any other ninja.

After all, Huo Wu is only thirteen years old, still a child...

Oh, by the way, he can remind Huo Wu that she is only thirteen years old!
"No need. As your teacher, it is my duty to take care of my students. You are blind now and there are nurses taking care of you in the hospital. I have other things to do."

Kakashi emphasized the word "teacher". He thought that according to Huo Wu's intelligence, she would definitely understand.

Huo Wu did understand. Was Kakashi trying to keep his distance from her?
I couldn't help but sneer, "Teacher? Kakashi, what kind of teacher are you to me?"

Listening to Huo Wu's increasingly cold tone, Kakashi remained silent.

Isn't he a teacher?
After all, he taught Huo Wu how to use chakra, how to use fire escape, and the rules of ninja, and took Huo Wu on missions for so long. Huo Wu had been in Class 7, and as the instructor of Class 7, he was naturally Huo Wu's instructor as well.

After a long while, he finally spoke, "Once a teacher, always a teacher."

"Tsk~" Huo Wu snorted coldly, "I've always believed that once a teacher, a father is a father for life. You mean you want to be a teacher for life, don't you just want to be an elder? Why don't you just say you want to be my father?"

"..."

Kakashi was choked by Huo Wu and was completely speechless. He touched his nose and simply stopped talking.

Once a teacher, always a father? It's appropriate to face Naruto, but it's definitely not okay to face Sasuke and Huo Wu.

He was too embarrassed to say it, but he felt that Sasuke always disrespected him as a teacher, and Huo Wu almost never regarded him as a teacher, which was why he wanted Huo Wu to remember his identity as a teacher. But why did he feel like he was losing more than he gained?
