Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

At this very moment, in Konoha year 48, in the Hokage's office.

Minato Namikaze looked at the sky, his expression somewhat complicated.

He turned to look at Nara Shikaku and said seriously.

"Shikaku, do you think Kakashi...shouldn't he start thinking about settling down?"

Nara Shikaku smiled and thought it was a bit too early for Kakashi to be thinking about these things at his age.

"Fourth Hokage, aren't you worrying a little too much?"

Minato smiled and said, "He's my apprentice."

Kushina Uzumaki stood beside him, hands on her hips, looking indignant: "Exactly! Kakashi's only activity is watching 'Make-Out Paradise,' he's like a silent bum! How will he ever find a partner like that!"

Minato quickly pulled her back, "Kushina, keep your voice down..."

"I don't care! I'll go talk to him after the sky screen is over!"

The text on the sky continued:

On the other hand, Sasuke, though he may be a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), possesses precisely this aggressive vitality.

After all, sixteen or seventeen is a prime age, and Mei Terumi is very susceptible to that.

Where's Kakashi?

He always had an indifferent expression.

You confessed your feelings to him, but he ignored you.

[You hinted that he was free tonight, but he felt that playing with you was less appealing than competing against Kai.]

These words caused an uproar throughout the ninja world once again.

Konoha Year 60, Training Ground.

Matt Kay was squatting in the corner doing push-ups when he heard those words, and he stopped abruptly.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes slightly reddening, deeply moved.

"Kakashi... So, in your heart, I'm more important than women?!"

Kakashi froze, and said awkwardly.

"Kai, don't misunderstand."

"I didn't misunderstand! This is youth! The bond between us, even the heavens bear witness!"

"No, what I meant was..."

"No explanation needed! Kakashi! I'll be your rival for life!"

The Hokage's office.

As Tsunade looked at Kakashi and Guy on the sky, Sasuke's image suddenly flashed through her mind.

"Jiraiya, you remember? The one who said Sasuke liked Naruto who dressed as a girl before the curtain fell, right?"

Jiraiya laughed upon hearing this.

"Hahahaha!! I remember!! I was thinking at the time, this kid really has a unique eye!"

Mizukage Village, Mizukage's Office.

Terumi sighed as she contemplated Sasuke's complete lack of interest in that area.

She's so good-looking and strong too.

How come he's gay?

As for Kakashi, there's no need to even mention him.

The bond between Kakashi and Obito, and the relationship between Kakashi and Guy, also seem unusual.

If she were to date either of them, she might as well stay single.

The text on the celestial screen continues:

[What's even more fatal is that Mei Terumi is, at her core, an extremely traditional woman.]

What she wanted was the sense of control of a son-in-law living with his wife's family; she wanted that man to belong to her, to enter her family, and to integrate into the Hidden Mist Village's system.

Mizukage Village, Mizukage's Office.

Mei Terumi was taken aback for a moment, then a knowing look appeared on her face.

"The sky curtain really hit the nail on the head."

Qing coughed and asked.

"Lord Mizukage, you really want a son-in-law to live with you?!"

Mei Terumi, upon hearing this, looked completely indifferent.

"What's wrong? Is it not okay?"

"I'm the Mizukage, I can't just marry into another village, can I? That would be like taking all of Kirigakure's wealth with me! So of course, the other party has to marry into the village!"

The sky continued to fall.

Kakashi's entire world revolves around Konoha.

Making Kakashi a live-in son-in-law is worse than just sending him to his death.

[By making him leave Konoha, leave the place he owes his entire life, you are essentially uprooting his last reason for living.]

After all, Kakashi's life was essentially ruined on that night during the Third Shinobi World War.

Konoha Year 48, Hokage's office.

Minato Namikaze stood by the window, looking at the words on the sky.

He remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

"From the day Rin left, Kakashi shouldered all the responsibility. He felt that he had failed to protect Rin and that he had let Obito down."

Kakashi is always like that; once he sets his mind on a certain direction, he never looks back.

Inside the Divine Might Space.

Obito remarked with emotion.

"...Kakashi."

"You're still the same as ever."

"She could have let go of those things, but she insisted on carrying them all alone."

He paused after speaking.

"However... I don't think I'm really in a position to say anything to you."

The sky continued to fall.

If it weren't for that incident, Kakashi's success might have truly been as predicted before the curtain fell.

[A 23-year-old Actor-level performer, who, after a normal marriage and having children, will pass on his skills.]

This is the life that a genius like Kakashi should have had.

Ultimately, Mei Terumi is attracted to strong, energetic, and beautiful young men.

Kakashi, on the other hand, completely contradicted her aesthetic.

They might be a perfect team on the battlefield, but in marriage, forcing them together would definitely lead to incompatibility.

Upon hearing this, people from all timelines couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Kumogakure, Raikage's office.

The Fourth Raikage, A, slapped his thigh. "Tenbu is right! Kakashi, that taciturn guy, always reading erotic novels, how could he possibly get along with that Mizukage!"

Mabui asked curiously, "Raikage-sama, why are you so interested in Kakashi's love life?"

Ai Li said confidently.

"I'm just concerned about the young man's lifelong happiness!"

Killer Bee chimed in from the side, "Big brother, you just love watching the show, yay."

"Shut up!"

Konoha Training Ground.

Naruto scratched his head: "If that's the case,... Kakashi-sensei and that Mizukage auntie really aren't a good match."

Sakura corrected him from the side, "You should call those older female relatives 'sister,' not 'auntie'!"

"They're about the same!"

Kakashi himself seemed relieved, his tone becoming more relaxed.

"Well, that's fine too. I never intended to go to Kirigakure to become some kind of live-in son-in-law anyway."

Meanwhile, in the Mizukage's office in Kirigakure.

Mei Terumi looked at the results on the screen and sighed, her tone tinged with helplessness.

"Actually, I did consider looking in Kirigakure itself."

Ao and Chojuro both perked up their ears at the same time.

"But as you all know, after passing through the Village of Blood Mist, there are hardly any strong people left in the Hidden Mist Village. If there are few strong people, then there are even fewer who are both handsome and strong."

green:"...."

Chojuro: "..."

Mei Terumi rested her chin on her hand, gazing wistfully out the window, her tone carrying a hint of world-weary melancholy.

"Am I, Mei Terumi, destined to be naked for the rest of my life?"

The text on the screen switched again.

Is Kakashi qualified to join the Akatsuki?

Konoha Training Ground.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes.

"Me, join Akatsuki? What kind of joke is Skyfall playing now?"

Kumogakure, Raikage's office.

The Fourth Raikage, A, slapped his thigh, a playful expression on his face.

"Interesting! Kakashi has joined Akatsuki? I'd like to hear what Tenbu has to say!"

Mabui asked, somewhat puzzled, "Raikage-sama, why are you so interested in the fate of the Konoha ninja?"

"Nonsense! If Kakashi really defected, Konoha's strength would drop significantly! Who wouldn't want to see that kind of spectacle!"

"Moreover, given Kakashi's strength and his experiences, plus the fact that his good friend Obito is in the Akatsuki, it would indeed be quite interesting for Kakashi to go."

...

God is silent, God is speechless, God guides the way, God created all things, God has run away.

Let me guess, the S-rank character for January's high-level recruitment will be Tsunade with the Hundred Healings skill – the mother of babies.
