Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 75 Chicken Soup

My well-intentioned advice was not accepted by the other party; instead, they lectured me on my behavior.

Upon hearing this, the hot-tempered boy could no longer contain himself. He reached for his ninja tool pouch on his back, shouting, "Ninja tips! Fine! I'll show you what ninja tips really are!"

As he spoke, he pulled a kunai from his ninja tool bag, looking like he was going to teach his comrade a lesson in public.

Seeing this, the girl next to him disregarded her own sadness and quickly grabbed the boy's arm with both hands to stop her companion's impulsive behavior.

Kakashi, however, was equally unyielding.

He glanced at the other person, then reached out and placed his right hand on the hilt of his ninja sword behind his back.

The situation was about to escalate further, turning into a brawl within the team.

"That's enough!"

The green-vested Jonin leading the group, who had been walking silently ahead, finally noticed the escalation of the situation behind him and interrupted.

That's all for today, dismissed!

"But teacher!"

The boy next to him was clearly unable to suppress his anger.

Ignoring the teacher's attitude and the girl's attempts to stop him, he continued to speak.

"What, are you going to disobey my orders? Dismissed for now. I will notify you separately if there are any more missions!" The green-vested ninja, his face grim, stared intently at the boy, awaiting his reply.

"I understand!" The boy replied reluctantly, then led the girl beside him in one direction.

Kakashi Hatake, upon receiving the order to disband, nodded, going in the opposite direction from the boys and girls.

It turns out that this mission squad was the first ninja squad that Kakashi Hatake, the son of Konoha's White Fang, joined after graduating from the Ninja Academy.

The origin of the argument was quite simple.

Their team received a mission to harvest precious medicinal herbs. The only problem with the mission was that the herbs all grew on cliffs.

In order to complete their mission, they had no choice but to use their chakra-controlled "tree climbing" skill.

Walking along the cliff, searching for medicinal herbs bit by bit.

And the teammates in the squad.

The girl, Reiko, had slightly insufficient chakra due to her gender. After persisting for a while, she lost focus, lost her footing, and fell off the cliff.

Meanwhile, Kakashi Hatake, who was nearby, ignored it in order to conserve chakra and better complete the mission. He walked towards the mission objective he had just discovered.

If it weren't for the Jonin leading the team below who noticed something was wrong and offered assistance, this girl named Reiko would likely have perished on the cliff.

This was unacceptable to his companion, who had a crush on the girl and had witnessed everything. When the mission was completed, he and Kakashi, unable to bear it any longer, had an argument on the way back to the city.

As the verbal exchange escalated, the hot-tempered boy even pulled out a kunai, and a quarrel between companions was about to turn into an internal war within the squad.

The Jonin leading the group, who had witnessed everything, could no longer tolerate it. He interrupted them and ordered them to disperse, telling them to go back and sober up.

Looking at his subordinates who were locked in a stalemate, the green-vested ninja couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Teamwork was simply impossible to continue.

He glanced at Kakashi Hatake and silently shook his head. The White Fang incident had only recently occurred, and as a serving Jonin of Konoha, he had some understanding of its deeper implications.

The situation had only recently calmed down, so he couldn't comment on it.

He couldn't blame Kakashi, after all, the latter's father had just taken his own life in such an dishonorable manner. It wasn't surprising that Kakashi now seemed to prioritize the mission above all else.

He didn't reprimand the impulsive boy. The boy's actions were simply meant to make Kakashi understand the importance of his comrades.

At the same time, he couldn't blame the village or the Hokage. After all, this choice was made to protect the village and everyone else.

But often, things are just like that. Neither side is at fault; it's just that to achieve a goal, some sacrifices are always necessary.

However, this has put him in a dilemma. It seems it's time to ask the Hokage to replace him with a different team member.

Meanwhile, Toshiro, who was strolling through the streets of Konoha, greeted Kakashi Hatake as he approached, "Yo! Kakashi! Long time no see!"

"..."

"You're still as cold as ever!" Receiving no response, Toshiro muttered a sarcastic remark as he looked at the expressionless white-haired boy opposite him.

At this moment, Kakashi Hatake's white, unruly hair grew wildly. He wore a ninja headband with leaf patterns on his forehead, and a strand of bangs was pressed down, making his expression slightly dazed and cute.

Staring at Toshiro with a pair of lifeless, emotionless eyes, she gave him an expression that said, "You're so annoying, go away."

He wore his ever-present black face mask and a matching black short-sleeved shirt. He also wore crisscross suspenders.

The famous White Fang short blade was slung across his shoulder strap.

He wore iron arm guards on both hands, black ninja capri pants, leg wraps, and ninja high-top sandals.

Seeing that Kakashi had no desire to talk to him and even looked like he was not to be approached, Toshiro was not surprised.

Instead, he reached out his right hand and put his arm around the other person's shoulder.

He adopted a friendly, buddy-buddy demeanor, saying, "Hey! Don't be so cold! Even though we graduated in the same year, I was an upperclassman who entered the university earlier than you. You should at least call me 'senpai'!"

With a sharp "snap!", Kakashi stretched out his right hand to block Toshiro's arm, and at the same time took two steps back to create distance between them.

With a slight pout, Toshiro was not surprised at all that his affectionate gesture had been rejected.

Having read the original work, he felt no anger at Kakashi's reaction, only a slight sympathy for Kakashi's plight.

"Kakashi, don't lock your heart in a dark room, and don't dwell too much on the sadness and pain of the past."

"Look, the streets are still full of flowers, and the sunshine is still bright and gentle. One day, you will meet someone like a rainbow, and from then on, your life can also be full of sunshine."

His slightly intimate gesture was interrupted, and Toshiro couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. However, his intention to change the other person's closed-off mindset remained unchanged; instead, he forced a bowl of toxic chicken soup down his throat.

As for whether it will be effective, only God knows.
