Naruto: First Love

Chapter 54 Riverside
After separating from Sasuke, Huo Wu hurriedly chased in the direction Karin left.

But in the end, Karin was nowhere to be found.

Huo Wu was very concerned about why Karin looked like her mother. After thinking about it, she went to the Sandai's house.

Originally, she wanted to go directly to the Hokage Building to ask, but the Third Hokage was busy with the Chunin Exam, and there were many people in the Hokage Building, so Huo Wu went to the Third Hokage's house.

Asuma was about to go out, and when he saw her, he was stunned for a moment before telling her that the third generation had not returned yet.

Huo Wu had no choice but to ask him to tell the Third Generation, and then went to Kakashi's house.

As bad luck would have it, Kakashi wasn't home.

When the Chunin Exams started, everyone she knew started to get busy, and suddenly she seemed to have very little time.

After thinking about it, Huo Wu felt a little annoyed. She picked up a bag of meatballs and went to a nearby river.

There was no one around and it was extremely quiet. Huo Wu lay down and stared at the clouds in the sky. After a while, she felt pain in her eyes.

She wondered why Shikamaru liked to look at the clouds. If he looked at the clouds against the light, his eyes would hurt, so he might as well go to sleep.

"Hey, why are you here alone?" A familiar voice sounded on the river bank, with imperceptible fatigue.

Huo Wu sat up and turned to look at him. "Are you done?"

Kakashi sat down, stretched lazily, put his head in his hands, and lay down.

"The Sandaime has sent someone to investigate, but nothing suspicious was found. He probably didn't come."

"What are you checking?" Huo Wu asked in confusion.

Kakashi rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think? If he wants to come, he can only come in secretly through the Chunin Exam. The people who come here are all students and their teachers. As for the Sound Village, it is too mysterious and there is no way to find out."

"Pfft." Huo Wu sneered, "You actually thought of checking the Sound Village? It would be faster to check the Sand Village now."

"What do you mean?" Kakashi turned his head to look at her.

Huo Wu then remembered that she had said too much. If she said any more, Kakashi would probably treat her like a monster, right? The matter of Sand Village was still a secret.

After rolling her eyes, Huo Wu immediately smiled, "Haha, just pretend you haven't heard this. After all, I'm not taking part in the Chunin Exam, so why should I care so much?"

Kakashi leaned sideways and stared at Huo Wu.

They were both lying down, at such a close distance, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a little distracted when looking at such a beautiful face.

However, Kakashi's self-control has always been amazing, and he wears a mask, so people can't read his facial expressions at all, and can only see him through his single eye. But Kakashi has always had a pair of dead fish eyes, which almost never change, with no expression in them. Maybe it's a habit developed in the Anbu, which doesn't allow people to see the emotions of ninjas?
Feeling that Kakashi's breathing seemed to become a little heavy, Huo Wu turned to look at him in confusion, but found that Kakashi still had an ascetic expression and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking at all. Could he be thinking about Sand Village again?

Although people always say that Kakashi is not that good, in fact, Kakashi has a strong sense of belonging to Konoha.

Speaking of which, Kakashi lacked love since childhood, while Sasuke was spoiled since childhood, but their choices were very different when they grew up.

One is trying hard to remember and maintain the bond with his companions, while the other one is walking madly into the darkness and severing the bond.

They are all geniuses, but have different lives. However, they have one thing in common, that is - they are all tragedies.

The long eyelashes flickered, and the shadow of Huo Wu was reflected in Kakashi's eyes, charming and elf-like.

Huo Wu blinked, lowered her voice, and looked at him: "Kakashi, I have a serious question for you."

"What?" Kakashi was startled and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

Huo Wu sat up, pretended to tidy up her clothes, and then touched her face, "I want to know, why do you cover your face?"

Kakashi's eyes flashed with bitterness, and he coughed dryly, "Don't you think this makes it more mysterious?"

Huo Wu shook her head: "I don't think so."

Kakashi: "..."

So you don't give face?

His mask... that was when he was very young.

"Don't you think it's troublesome? You have to take off your mask every time you eat, and you have to be careful not to be seen, sneaking around like a thief." Huo Wu raised her eyebrows, "Sasuke and Naruto are secretly wondering if you have buck teeth, thick lips, or a cherry mouth."

Kakashi froze. Really? He looked like this?

Buck teeth, thick lips, cherry mouth... none of them are good!

"Haven't you seen it? You definitely won't believe such words."

Huo Wu stretched out her index finger and swung it gently. "Hey, that's not necessarily true. I didn't see it clearly. Who knows if what I saw was real or fake? Come to think of it, didn't Sasuke and the others plan to see your true face? They didn't even see it. I'm not sure if what I saw was real or fake..."

By the way, when Kakashi was at Ichiraku Ramen, the boss of Ichiraku Ramen saw his true face, right? But it wasn't very fast at that time, so how did Kakashi eat such a big bowl of ramen? Did he pour it out?
She felt a little regretful. She did not participate in that mission, but only heard about it later from Naruto's chattering.

It really spoils the sight of Kakashi, with his handsome face, wolfing down his food.

Speaking of which, when I was at Kakashi's house some time ago, Kakashi ate very elegantly. He didn't look like someone who would wolf down his food. He was like the young master of a big family.

Kakashi's heart skipped a beat when he saw Huo Wu's playful smile. He turned his head and looked across the river.

In the forest across the river, several figures passed by quickly.

Huo Wu was startled and stopped smiling all of a sudden. She frowned slightly and looked at Kakashi beside her with a questioning look.

Kakashi thought about it for a moment, then nodded and headed towards the forest.

Huo Wu knew what Kakashi meant, so she wanted to follow and see what was going on, so she moved her body and caught up.

However, Huo Wu's physical skills have never been outstanding, and her speed is not as fast as Kakashi. After just a few jumps, Kakashi far surpassed Huo Wu.

Huo Wu stopped on the treetop and sighed. It turned out that her physical skills were not good enough. She still had a lot to improve.

Just as he stopped and had no time to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt danger coming from all directions. He quickly somersaulted and climbed to another tree.

As soon as I left, there were a few more kunai at the place where I was just now, nailed to the treetops.

"Good reaction." A hoarse voice like a ghost's cry suddenly sounded, causing Huo Wu's heart to skip a beat.

Such a voice reminded her of someone, but that person should not be here, let alone cause trouble for an ordinary person like her.

With her back against a big tree, she stared ahead cautiously. In fact, she had already dispersed all her energy, because the direction of the kunai was not one direction, the source of the sound was uncertain, and she could not determine the direction of the person coming.
