She was on the verge of a breakdown if she stayed by Shenyue Xingyun's side any longer.

The orphanage director, the Root spy, the woman who died beneath Shinzuki Seiun—she was losing sight of her own roles. The immense sense of alienation pushed her to her limit; if this continued, she even began to doubt whether she might one day betray Danzo.

Danzo stared at Yakushi Nonou with a stagnant gaze, and after a moment, he finally spoke.

"In that case, the mission to approach the Divine Moon Nebula will be put on hold for now."

"However, the situation in Iwagakure has been rather complicated lately, and I need a capable person to do the work."

Yakushi Nono felt a tightness in her chest.

But she knew that she had already displeased Danzo with her mission to Shingetsu Nebula, and if she refused this mission, her fate would be uncertain.

"Lord Danzo, please teach me."

Danzo nodded slightly: "Don't disappoint me this time."

……

"Kakashi, Jonin, the captain is looking for you."

At the call of Uzuki Yuhi from the Anbu, Hatake Kakashi, who was handing over tasks to his teammates, suddenly stood up.

"coming."

As he spoke, he took a few steps to the office door. He knocked gently and then pushed the door open to enter.

"Captain, you wanted to see me?"

He's become increasingly adept at using the title of "captain." There's no way around it; his work experience over this period has taught Kakashi Hatake a valuable lesson.

Being close to the leader, even if nothing good comes of it, at least you'll have fewer unpleasant experiences.

This is especially true for leaders like Captain Shenyue Xingyun, who are quite generous to their subordinates.

What kind of mission is it this time?

Shingetsu Seiun sat in his office chair and, when asked by Hatake Kakashi, casually replied, "No missions."

He pointed to the scroll of "Healing the Heart and Nourishing the Eyes" on the table and said, "This is the reward for the mission I promised you."

Kakashi Hatake: "Mission reward?"

Then he realized that the task was for Matt Ke to change clothes.

He asked in confusion, "Wasn't it supposed to be a year? It hasn't been a year yet."

Shenyue Xingyun said, "Consider it as you finishing ahead of schedule."

The mission was originally scheduled for six months, but a one-year target was set for Kakashi Hatake as a precaution. Now that he has received the mission reward, the conditions promised to Kakashi Hatake have been fulfilled ahead of schedule.

"Write down what's inside the scroll now, and remember not to tell anyone else."

With a mix of doubt and trepidation, Kakashi Hatake took the scroll.

"Yes, Captain, I won't tell anyone."

Unroll the scroll, and you'll see a few words.

"The Art of Nourishing the Heart and Eyes." Training techniques and chakra management methods are appended at the end.

After a cursory glance, Kakashi Hatake had some doubts.

Can this thing really improve dynamic vision? This training method seems a bit unreliable.

Suppressing his doubts, Kakashi Hatake decided to write it down first and try it out.

After a while, Kakashi Hatake, having made sure he had memorized everything without missing anything, placed the scroll back in front of Seiun Kamizuki.

Shingetsu Nebula: "You memorized it?"

Kakashi Hatake nodded: "I've memorized them all."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Go give it a try."

"If there are no problems, you should see noticeable results within a few days. You have nothing to do these next two days, so I'll give you two days off."

Kakashi Hatake immediately stood at attention.

"Thank you, Captain!"

Leaving the Anbu base and walking on the streets of Konoha, Kakashi Hatake recalled the contents of the "Heart-Nourishing and Eye-Nourishing Technique".

Actually, there isn't much content, and the way he manages chakra is quite simple. The only key point is to find the so-called 'eye-pleasing things'.

But what are his "eye-pleasing things"?

Kakashi Hatake pondered for a moment, then leaped up to a high place, gazing at the green hills and clear waters of Konoha in the distance.

'For a good young man like myself, full of emotion and pure of heart, the most pleasing thing to the eye must be the scenery of the village!'

That's what he was thinking.

After standing on the rooftop for half an hour in the wind, he realized he was wrong.

There is a tiny, slight deviation.

So he reconsidered, and after a moment, headed toward the Hokage Rock.

'As the future successor of Konoha and the inheritor of the Will of Fire, the prestige of the past Hokage will probably play a role!'

An hour later, Kakashi Hatake, who had just finished relieving himself near the Hokage Rock, discovered with dismay that even the Hokage Rock was no match for him.

Valley of the End, Naga River, sunset... Kakashi Hatake tried them one by one, but even as the sun set, he still couldn't find anything pleasing to the eye.

'That guy, Shingetsu Nebula, is he playing a trick on me?'

'Fine, I'll try again.'

With this thought in mind and a glimmer of hope, Kakashi Hatake took out his ever-present "Make-Out Paradise" from his ninja tool pouch.

'Let's give it a try. Someone as pure and upright as myself wouldn't find something like an intimate paradise appealing to my eyes.'

As he spoke, he turned the page of the book.

Familiar words unfolded before his eyes, interspersed with a few well-drawn illustrations, instantly drawing him into the story.

Ten minutes later, after reading a chapter, Kakashi Hatake remembered that he had forgotten the chakra manipulation technique for the "Heart-Nourishing and Eye-Nourishing Technique".

Thirty minutes later, Kakashi Hatake looked up from "Icha Icha Paradise" with a puzzled expression.

"How could it be useless?"

Although he told himself "just try" and "the chances are slim" before he tried it, Kakashi Hatake became uneasy when it really didn't work.

How can it be?

Even "Intimate Paradise" isn't acceptable?

A thought grew stronger in his mind—could the "Heart-Nourishing and Eye-Brightening Technique" be a fake?

It was already late, and to verify his idea, he came to a street lamp in Konoha and, under the bright light, flipped through the book "Icha Icha Paradise" in his hand, his eyes mainly focused on a few hot illustrations.

Just like a good student studying by the light of a street lamp.

No matter how meticulously he managed his chakra, he still couldn't feel the slight warmth recorded in the "Heart-Nourishing and Eye-Nourishing Technique".

Just then, a soft, charming shout came from a shop not far away.

"Lord Kakashi?"

"Come in and have a seat."

Kakashi Hatake looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman.

The woman was dressed in a kimono, and her voluptuous figure was accentuated by the sash and ribbons, highlighting her alluring curves. Her bright features were beautiful yet shrouded in a hazy glow under the streetlights.

Kakashi recognized her; she was the owner of the barbecue restaurant next door. Because of her widowhood and outstanding appearance, she was once the subject of conversation among his colleagues in the Anbu.

He nodded, about to respond.

My eyes suddenly welled up with tears…

Chapter 309 Kakashi Hatake Asks for Help

The heat emanating from his eyes made Kakashi Hatake freeze in place.

He had never heard of gravity, but his gaze was unconsciously drawn to matter with greater mass.

As a Jonin, his eyesight was already quite good, but at this moment, under the flow of that heat, Kakashi Hatake felt that his gaze became even clearer.

Before him, everything seemed clearer; he could even see pale blue veins, which, along with the skin and fine downy hair, created a scene that made his heart race.

"Lord Kakashi?" The barbecue stall owner smiled. "Come in quickly, what are you waiting for?"

"We have some fresh produce that just came from the seaside today, come in and have a taste!"

Kakashi Hatake doesn't like eating fish, but after being warmly invited by the proprietress, he decided to go in and try it after 0.01 seconds.

Since we're already here...

After entering the shop and sitting down, Kakashi Hatake ordered a few of the restaurant's signature dishes recommended by the proprietress. He then sat there quietly, watching the proprietress bustling around serving customers.

He never looked away from the corner of his eye.

His gaze followed the proprietress wherever she went. From top to bottom, inside and out, he was verifying his method of cultivation.

After his verification, he finally concluded that the other party was indeed not to be underestimated.

However, his gaze was too obvious. Even though he tried his best to keep an eye on him out of the corner of his eye, the landlady still noticed his constant staring.

Holding a small dish of side dishes, the proprietress smiled heartily as she approached Kakashi Hatake.

She wasn't annoyed by Kakashi Hatake's 'sneak glance'. After placing the side dishes in front of him, she braced herself on the table with both hands and leaned forward.

The great twist forced Kakashi Hatake to look away.

The proprietress smiled and said, "Lord Kakashi, isn't our grilled meat very fresh?"

"Mmm." Kakashi Hatake's face, hidden beneath his mask, began to flush. "Fresh."

The proprietress's beautiful eyes flickered: "So, do you like it?"

Kakashi Hatake didn't speak, and his already flushed face visibly turned red.

Seeing this, the proprietress smiled even more broadly, said "Enjoy your meal," and swayed away.
