Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Chapter 191 Failure

The matter with the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning has been settled.

Shika and Minato split up, with Minato responsible for settling the people of Kumogakure and keeping the daimyo of the Land of Lightning company.

The deer part is simple.

He took Tokugawa Nobuko to a blind date.

As for those who are going on blind dates, they've already made preparations.

This morning, after receiving a notification from Shikatoshi, Hatake Sakumo dragged Kakashi out of bed early.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep! All you do is sleep! Get up right now!"

Sakumo Hatake pulled off Kakashi's blanket and forcefully dragged him out of bed.

Kakashi, who was forcibly turned on, was completely bewildered. It took him a while to figure out what was going on. "Dad, I finally get a day off today, can't you let me sleep a little longer?"

"Do you even know what day it is today?! Get up and get ready right now!" Hatake Sakumo said irritably.

Kakashi sighed somewhat helplessly, "Dad, isn't it supposed to be this afternoon to see Princess Nobuko? Is it really necessary to do it so early?"

"You actually know what's going on?! If you're going on a blind date, you have to at least tidy yourself up. Look at your messy hair, what a disgrace you are! Let me tell you, even if this doesn't work out, you can't embarrass me!"

"And as a boy, you need to learn to take initiative."

Sakumo Hatake kept sharing his experience in pursuing girls.

Kakashi knew he had to perform well today, so he quickly got up to wash up and fix his hair. Just as he was about to put on his mask, it was snatched away by Sakumo Hatake.

"Don't bring this today."

"Alright."

Kakashi didn't refuse.

It has to be said that Kakashi is really handsome without his mask.

He wore a mask because he was handsome and was constantly being harassed.

Nawaki naturally shares a similar situation with Kakashi.

Rope Tree was even more overwhelmed than Kakashi.

Upon hearing that Nawaki was going on a blind date, specifically with the daughter of the daimyo of the Land of Lightning, the entire Senju clan immediately sprang into action.

Tsunade didn't even need to lift a finger.

Several elders of the Senju clan got up early in the morning to clean up the lifeless Nawaki.

Even though Rope Tree said it wasn't him today, the elders wouldn't listen and insisted on having a rehearsal first.

The deer's time has already been arranged.

At noon, I took Tokugawa Nobuko to see Kakashi to see if the two of them had any feelings for each other. Tomorrow, it's Nawaki's turn.

At this moment, Tokugawa Nobuko stood silently beside Shikatoki, simply watching Nara Shikatoki with curiosity.

Sensing the gazes directed at them, Lu Shi spoke first, "Princess Nobuko, you don't need to be nervous. You can ask me any questions you may have."

Tokugawa Nobuko smiled gently. "Shikatoshi-kun is so understanding. I understand my father's meaning, so Shikatoshi-kun doesn't need to call me princess, just call me by my name."

Upon hearing this, Shikatoki realized that Tokugawa Nobuko was unaware of the change in the matchmaking candidate, so he quickly said, "No, you don't understand."

"You are still young, while Minato and I are getting old and married. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to marry into our family. So Daimyo and I have already discussed it and selected two talented young men from our village for you."

"Take a look at it first. If you like it, you can talk to it. If you don't, there's no need to force it."

Shika's words startled Tokugawa Nobuko, calming her tense heart considerably.

To be honest, she had heard of Nara Shikatoki and Namikaze Minato, and she also knew about their marriage.

So Tokugawa Nobuko was actually somewhat resistant to this marriage alliance.

However, Tokugawa Nobuko knew very well that no matter how much her father doted on her, if she refused this marriage, she would immediately lose all his affection.

She appears to be a glamorous woman, but in reality, she is just a bargaining chip in political exchanges.

Even if it's not Minato Namikaze or Shika Nara this time, it will be someone else.

She just didn't expect that Lu Shi would consider her feelings and even persuade his father.

Tokugawa Nobuko stopped and bowed earnestly, saying, "I am very grateful for Shikatoki-kun's help in this matter."

Lu Shi paused for a moment, then shook his head. "It's nothing, it's just that both Shui Men and I are henpecked, so we wouldn't dare marry you."

This little joke made Nobuko Tokugawa laugh, and the atmosphere became harmonious.

The two soon arrived at the meatball shop.

Sakumo Hatake looked around outside, and when he saw Shikatoki and Tokugawa Nobuko beside him, his eyes lit up.

This girl is beautiful! And she has a very gentle temperament; she looks like a good homemaker.

In short, Hatake Sakumo had a very good first impression of Tokugawa Nobuko.

However, Hatake Sakumo did not rush forward. After all, the person he was going to meet was Kakashi. It was not enough for him to be satisfied; the brat and Princess Tokugawa Nobuko had to be satisfied with each other.

Shika nodded to Hatake Sakumo and walked into the dumpling shop.

Kakashi sat in one of the seats, looking somewhat at a loss.

He's not afraid to go to war and fight, but you're really putting him in a difficult position by asking him to go on a blind date.

No joke, all of Kakashi's dating experience comes from Icha Icha Paradise, but there's no dating instruction in Icha Icha Paradise; what's in there is obvious to everyone.

Kakashi felt a little nervous when he saw Shika and Tokugawa Nobuko enter.

"Princess Nobuko, this is Kakashi Hatake. Let me briefly introduce him. He is the son of Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, and also Minato Namikaze's student. You two chat for a bit, I'll leave now, I'll come pick you up tonight."

Tokugawa Nobuko's eyes lit up when she looked at Kakashi, after all, Kakashi really looked handsome.

Shikatoki said he had left, but he was already beside Hatake Sakumo. "How do you feel about Tokugawa Nobuko?"

"You can tell she's from a wealthy family at first glance. I just wonder if that brat Kakashi will live up to her potential." - Hatake

Sakumo sighed as he looked at the somewhat reserved Kakashi.

Lu Shi remained calm, saying, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; just let nature take its course."

Sakumo Hatake glanced at Shikatoshi and said, "You make it sound so easy, kid. That's because you don't have kids yet. You'll understand when you have kids."

"Okay, okay, you'll just stay here and keep watch? Or want to grab a drink together?"

Sakumo Hatake nodded. "That works too."

Inside the dumpling shop, Kakashi and Tokugawa Nobuko sat facing each other, neither of them speaking, just staring at each other.

Finally, Tokugawa Nobuko couldn't help but break the silence, "Hello, I am Tokugawa Nobuko. Nice to meet you."

"Yes, I'm Kakashi Hatake, nice to meet you."

After Kakashi finished speaking, he didn't know what to say next.

It was the first time the two had met, so the atmosphere was a little awkward.

The filter that Tokugawa Nobuko had initially added because of Kakashi's good looks has gradually disappeared.

The two spent an awkward afternoon like that.

After dinner, Shika appeared on time to the two of them, accompanied by Hatake Sakumo.

Kakashi, with his deadpan expression, remained remarkably calm, while Tokugawa Nobuko maintained her smile.

Looking at the two of them, Lu Shi sighed inwardly, thinking that it was probably not going to work out.

"Alright, Princess Nobuko, I'll take you back first." Shikatoki didn't say anything more and left with Tokugawa Nobuko.

After watching the two walk away, Sakumo Hatake couldn't wait to ask, "Kakashi, how did it go?"

"Hmm... how should I put it? It feels a little awkward," Kakashi answered truthfully.

Nobuko Tokugawa was a princess, and her every move was filled with aristocratic etiquette. In addition, Kakashi was indeed inexperienced, and the atmosphere was awkward, so both of them appeared somewhat restrained and awkward.

Hearing Kakashi's words, Sakumo Hatake felt a chill run down his spine. "Kakashi! I'm so disappointed in you. You can't even seize such a good opportunity?"

Kakashi rolled his eyes. "Dad, try to avoid learning these words from Shikata in the future. You always use them in weird ways."

Sakumo Hatake was taken aback, then snorted irritably, "I'm just worried about you. You can spend the rest of your life in your love paradise. I'm leaving."

Kakashi scratched his head, not paying much attention. He wasn't really keen on blind dates anyway, and he was still young and not in a hurry.

Given that he and Tokugawa Nobuko were indeed not on the same wavelength, it was no surprise that things didn't work out.

Actually, during their time together, Kakashi felt a bit more relaxed after realizing he had no chance.

Kakashi glanced at the sky, then at the bookstore that was still open. "Today seems to be the day for the 'Make-Out Paradise' illustration sale. I wonder if they'll still be selling them at this hour. Oh well, I'll go check it out."
