Madara, let's change the world together!

changed!

He really felt that Sarutobi-sensei had changed.

Couldn't you even think of going to see Kakashi?!

Tsunade felt powerless.

So what if she's the princess of Konoha?

So what if they are the Legendary Sannin of Konoha?

So what if my grandfather was the First Hokage?

We were powerless when rumors were flying around!

As a result, this unexpected and extremely disheartening thing happened.

Suddenly, the image of Kiyoi Gen appeared in Tsunade's mind.

What if he were here?

Can the president of the Konoha Chamber of Commerce influence these rumors?

It can't possibly not work.

After all, as Xiao Ai said, although most shops in Konoha have joined the Chamber of Commerce, these people only account for less than a quarter of the population of Konoha.

More than half of them were ordinary people who were not affected by the business world.

But if Kiyoi Gen can help her rediscover her self-worth after becoming despondent, he can certainly alleviate Hatake Sakumo's psychological pressure, at least preventing him from committing suicide.

Tsunade clenched her fists.

If Kiyoshimoto is there

Afterwards, Ai Kiyoi brought people from the Chamber of Commerce to help.

They first placed Sakumo Hatake's body in a coffin, waiting for Kakashi to regain consciousness before discussing the next steps.

The custom in Konoha is to bury the dead in the ground.

Therefore, corpses are very easy to steal, and many people in the original work were resurrected by taking their body parts in this way.

However, this is also due to local customs.

Before the invention of Edo Tensei, probably no one would have thought that corpses could be used not only for gathering intelligence but also to summon the dead to fight.

After a while of work, all that was left was to wait for Kakashi to wake up.

Everyone was very worried about Kakashi's mental state. Kiyoi Ai's genjutsu, which forced him into a deep sleep, could only alleviate Kakashi's fatigue.

Kakashi didn't wake up until almost dusk in the afternoon.

"Kakashi!" x2

Kakashi Hatake slowly opened his eyes and saw a head of long pink hair.

Kiyoi Ai looked at him with an accepting gaze and held his hand.

"I love you, sister. I'm sorry."

Kakashi understood the situation in just a moment.

He propped himself up and saw Tsunade and his two friends standing next to him.

I instinctively touched my mouth, but didn't touch the mask.

"Ah, I took off my mask without permission because I was worried you wouldn't be able to breathe properly."

Kiyoi Ai said apologetically.

Kakashi shook his head.

It's not a big deal anyway. Wearing a mask is just to adapt to the ninja identity as quickly as possible and to hide one's appearance. And it really is because...

He looks too much like a girl now.

She has fair and delicate skin, and because she is young, her face shape is not much different from that of a girl. She also has a beauty mark on the left corner of her mouth.

If you braid your hair and do some disguise, you can really fool the real thing.

His father also said that he looks a lot like his mother.

······

Thinking of this, Kakashi remained silent, staring blankly at his hands.

His thoughts had drifted back to the night before last and yesterday morning.

Was the lavish dinner and breakfast just a way to say goodbye to him?

correct!

letter!

Kakashi immediately became excited.

He also remembered that there was a letter next to his father's body, which must have been addressed to him.

He was so surprised last night that he forgot to watch it.

Just as he was about to get out of bed, Kiyoi Ai handed him a letter.

"Kakashi, this is what you're looking for, isn't it?"

Kakashi took the letter and eagerly began to read it.

Kakashi, you're the only person I care about in my life.

I've seen and been deeply moved by your behavior these past few days. You've grown into a capable young man who can stand on your own.

[It's my fault, Dad, for making you suffer like this.]

Go find Uncle Yuan; he'll take care of you in my place from now on.

There weren't many words, but you could tell from the handwriting that his father was very calm when he wrote the letter.

But why?!

Kakashi still couldn't figure out why his father committed suicide.

If she couldn't let go of him, why did she commit suicide?

Why do we still need to ask Uncle Yuan to take care of him?

You are my father, aren't you?

Kakashi couldn't hold back his tears any longer, and they dripped onto the letter.

He really doesn't understand!

Why would a father who is a hero commit suicide?

In this situation, no one knew how to comfort him; they could only stay by Kakashi's side and wait for him to adjust his mindset.

Fortunately, Kakashi was originally a strong person.

He wiped away his tears.

"Sister Xiao Ai, is there anything we need to do now?"

"Well, let's bury your father first."

Finally, Kakashi chose to bury his father's body next to a stream near Konoha, and casually placed a large rock there, marking it with a mark.

Since my father died because of rumors in the village, we should at least ensure that he is not bothered by rumors after his death.

The very simple funeral was completed.

There weren't even any extra people to come and see.

For Kakashi's physical and mental well-being, Kiyoi Ai prepared a guest room for him to stay in temporarily.

Kakashi agreed; he didn't want to go back to the Hatake residence, where he had so many memories with his father.

What's past is past, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

The only solace is in the passage of time, until the heart is ready to accept it.

I witnessed Sakumo Hatake's death and saw Kakashi's distress.

Tsunade once again thought of her deceased younger brother, Nawaki, and her former lover, Dan Kato.

The death of someone you cherish can be an unbearable blow to those left behind, creating an emptiness in their hearts.

But the friends and family who still stay with them can slowly fill this void with their caring emotions.

Just like what she went through.

night.

Tsunade sat in the dimly lit, comforting teahouse.

The classic layout here makes it easier for her to calm down, and even drinking becomes more enjoyable.

Since Yuan hasn't been back for a long time and no one comes in here, it's not bad as a place for her to drink.

Just as Tsunade placed some of the stolen bottles on the coffee table, footsteps echoed in the room.

"Well, it seems I've come back just in time."

"Just then, I saw Konoha's number one beauty preparing to drown her sorrows in alcohol."

Tsunade stared, somewhat mesmerized, at Kiyoi Gen walking out of the light.

"It's better if the room is a bit brighter."

"However, since we're going to be drinking with them, it's better to do it discreetly."

"Beautiful lady, would you like me to keep you company with a drink?"

Kiyoshi Gen's smile is quite charming.

"Come here quickly!"
