"You get some rest, I'll cook dinner."

"Go to sleep quickly after you finish eating."

With that, Uzuki Yugao tidied up and went to the kitchen to cook.

Watching her busy figure, Uzuki Yuhi's eyes held a complex expression.

I felt a sense of guilt.

What a wonderful child.

Was it right of me to stop her from being with that guy?

For some reason, she recalled how she looked not long ago.

Like a pathetic loser.

A voice in my heart gradually became firm.

"I did nothing wrong!" "I was only doing it for Xiyan's own good!"

'She's a girl; she shouldn't have to suffer like this.'

'It's all for her own good...'

'For her own good...'

……

That night.

After dinner, Shingetsu Seiun quietly watched Yekura tidy up the kitchen.

The reason he quietly admired the scene had nothing to do with his exhaustion; it was simply because he couldn't bear to break the beautiful moment.

Yes, that's right.

Watching Ye Cang busy in the kitchen in her familiar clothes, her back was even more strikingly fair than before.

A surge of emotion welled up in his eyes.

Shenyue Xingyun reluctantly discovered bad news: he might... probably... maybe... possibly... almost certainly... probably... probably... not a good person either.

This discovery greatly discouraged him.

He thought he was a very upright and pure person.

How could something so pleasing to the eye be... sigh~

But there is also good news.

At least the practice process of "Heart Nourishing and Eye Care Technique" will be much simpler.

Shaking her head, temporarily casting aside the frustration in her heart, Shenyue Xingyun returned to her bedroom.

I'm too tired from work today, so I'm going to bed early.

……

"Wow!"

"Running in the sunset is so moving, it brings tears to my eyes!"

A green figure rode in, kicking up dust, at the gates of Konoha. After stopping, it shouted wildly.

Behind him, a white-haired young man wearing a mask followed closely.

After stopping at the gate, he clutched his back and gasped for breath.

"Kakashi, you seem out of sorts lately."

"How can this be! Youth is all about being vibrant and full of life. If you stay like this, I'll fall behind."

Kakashi Hatake rested one hand on his knee and waved the other: "Kai."

"next time."

"I'll definitely surpass you next time."

As he spoke, he walked to the wall and slumped down there without any regard for his image.

Might Guy immediately stopped his unfinished stretching and moved closer to Kakashi Hatake, blinking his thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"Kakashi, what's wrong with you lately?"

"You seem a bit off."

Kakashi Hatake: "It's nothing."

"I'm thinking about quitting my job."

"Resign?" Matt Kai asked. "What happened? Is work not going well?"

Kakashi Hatake hesitated, struggling to find the right words: "I wouldn't say it went badly."

"It's just... I'm so tired, both physically and mentally, you know?"

Matt Kai shook his head: "I don't know."

Could you explain it more clearly?

Kakashi Hatake sighed.

"Going to work is like going to a funeral. It feels meaningless and incredibly boring. You just want to leave work, but you can't. Can you understand?"

Matt Kai put on a serious expression.

Kakashi Hatake knew without asking that the other person definitely hadn't understood.

He was really tired.

The reason is simple: the Divine Luna Nebula.

The other party put pressure on him from two sides.

On one hand, there was the physical pressure. Ever since the other party became the leader of the dark squad, he basically delegated everything to the squad leaders below him. Even the task of 'delegating to the squad leaders' was delegated to his 'secretary', Uzuki Yuhi.

Whether it was because he was being targeted or what, the most urgent and difficult tasks always ended up falling on Kakashi Hatake's shoulders.

Twice he couldn't help but confront Shenyue Xingyun, whose string of words left him completely bewildered.

They said things like, "With great power comes great responsibility; everything is for the village," and "I have faith in you. Work hard, and my position will be yours in the future. Keep it up, young man."

Every time he heard the other person say these things, he felt a little nauseous.

The worst thing was that one time the other party found him and said: "I forgot to tell you the task yesterday, did you complete it?"

Is it finished?

Complete your task!!!

The other party is clearly an ANBU squad leader, but over a long period of time, the number of times they've gone out on field missions can be counted on one hand! As for internal missions... those are all taken care of by Jonin Uzuki Yuhi!

Chapter 273 Frustrated Kakashi

Besides the reasons mentioned above that angered him, there was another point.

An unbalanced mindset!

They were ninjas of similar age, but when the other ninja had just graduated, he was already a well-established senior.

But now?

I am a Jonin, and the other party is an Elite Jonin.

I am the class monitor, and the other party is the squad leader who directly supervises me!

I'm out there working hard on field missions, while the other person just sits in the office, sometimes even skipping work altogether. The official reason given is that they're out on business, but does it mean they don't care if they're actually busy or not? Do they think I'm blind?!

They must have gone out to have some fun!

As a loyal reader of "Make-Out Paradise", whenever the office door is closed or half-open, and only Shinzuki Seiun and Uzuki Yuhi are inside, Hatake Kakashi can't help but imagine: Could it be that the two of them are hiding inside doing something that is not in accordance with the Will of Fire?

Whenever this happens, I feel even more uncomfortable.

Wow, he's so strong and handsome too!

He hated this job, and he hated himself even more.

That's why I'm so unhappy now.

At this point, Matt Kai finally spoke up: "If you really can't stand it, I think resigning is an option."

"We can team up to do missions together then."

Kakashi Hatake shook his head.

Matt Kai looked heartbroken: "You don't want to team up with me?"

Kakashi Hatake: "No."

"What I mean is that quitting isn't so easy either."

“I went to see…my superiors.”

Matt Kay: "What did he say?"

Kakashi Hatake, his eyelids drooping, said resentfully, "He said he wouldn't last long in a leadership position and told me to persevere."

"This position will be mine in three to five years at most."

"Just hang in there, it'll pass."

Matt Kay: "So do you think what they said is true?"

Kakashi Hatake: "I don't know, maybe it's true."

"But I'm afraid I won't live to see that day, or I'll become a rogue ninja."

Matt Kai: "..."

He racked his brains, but still couldn't think of a way to comfort his good friend. He simply pulled him up and said, "Alright, Kakashi."

"Don't worry, things will pass."

"Later, the three of us will have a youthful showdown, and you'll forget all about these unhappy things."
