Naruto: Naruto started the Fourth Shinobi World War for me

Jiraiya recounted Kakashi's early life: losing her father in childhood, her friends in adolescence, and her teacher in her youth, she was like a cursed lone star, with everyone around her dead except for her.

"Is no one with her?"

In my memory of Ningxia, there was a mushroom-headed guy who was always youthful and had a good relationship with Kakashi.

"No, uh... I did hear of someone who wanted to take on the challenge, but he gave up because he was warned as a pervert for following someone, and Kakashi refused him multiple times."

Jiraiya thought for a moment and replied that this was some of the little information he knew, and there was much more he couldn't help with.

After all, he couldn't ignore all those beautiful women and go off to stare at how a silver-haired little girl grew into a big sister.

"Is that so...?"

Ningxia immediately realized that because of their different genders, Kakashi had not become friends with the other person, and the two were like strangers.

Kakashi, who had no friends, went further and further down the path of despair, to the point that he now deliberately seeks death.

"What, you're interested in her?"

Jiraiya approached Ningxia with a lewd expression. In his opinion, Ningxia was too good to pass up; she had both good looks and a great physique.

Compared to him, I'm practically an acorn... cough cough cough!

In short, if Ningxia had any sense of maturity, she wouldn't be so immature at over twenty years old.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya felt a little smug, after all, he was much better than Ningxia in this aspect.

"Her mental state is very poor, and I plan to help her try to get through this."

Ningxia slapped Jiraiya speechlessly; this guy's head was full of all this nonsense.

"Is that so...?"

Upon hearing Ningxia say this, Jiraiya's lewd expression turned serious.

He indicated that if there was anything he needed, he should just say so, since Kakashi was, after all, his grand-disciple.

"Alright, you might as well just stay in Konoha. I reckon you're destined to become the Fifth Hokage."

Ningxia waved his hand, saying that the Third Hokage was no longer in a position to hold the title of Hokage, and the Uchiha clan needed more time to accumulate experience.

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Jiraiya will be the Fifth Hokage.

"Huh!? I don't want to be the Fifth Hokage! Are you kidding me!? I absolutely won't allow it!"

Jiraiya shouted angrily that he would never become Hokage, especially since there were Orochimaru and Tsunade.

These two aren't rogue ninjas; we can just call one of them back.

Ningxia remained silent, only looking at Jiraiya with a mocking expression. "Of the three legendary Sannin, you're the only one still in Konoha. If we don't look for you, who else should we look for?"

After figuring out Kakashi's past, Ningxia realized that the usual treatment was no longer effective.

Based on everything Kakashi has been through, any one of those experiences could probably be enough for a three-tomoe Jonin from the Uchiha clan to awaken their Mangekyou Sharingan.

It could be said that Kakashi's desire to die was actually quite gentle; at least he didn't think about taking revenge on the world.

Thinking of the chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) that she had corrected in the past, Ningxia couldn't help but shake her head. Why was she thinking so much? The most important thing right now was Kakashi.

After thinking for a moment, Ningxia turned around and went to Muye Hospital.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, the other two members of Konoha's F4 were discussing with the Third Hokage. As the inheritors of the Second Hokage's will, they naturally would not allow the Uchiha to return to the upper echelons of power.

The Third Hokage, already exhausted both physically and mentally, had no energy left to care about these things. He was already old, having experienced the first Shisui turmoil, the doubts surrounding Minato's resurrection, and the second Shisui turmoil.

He had long since given up, and if it weren't for Jiraiya's resistance, the position of Hokage would have been passed on to Jiraiya long ago.

"Sarutobi, pull yourself together! If Danzo saw you like this, I wonder what he'd say!"

Mitokado Homura was exasperated by Danzo's lack of ambition, but when the Third Hokage heard Danzo's name, a glimmer of hope appeared, though in the end only a dejected sigh escaped his lips.

Danzo is dead.

"Who said I'm dead!?"

Danzo suddenly appeared, walking confidently into the ward. Seeing the Third Hokage in this state, he couldn't help but complain with exasperation:

"Sarutobi, are you even capable? If not, just give me the Hokage position."

"Danzo...you're still alive?"

Koharu Utatane looked as if she had seen a ghost. You should know that Shisui's Susanoo had sent Danzo flying thousands of meters away. A normal ninja would have been turned into mincemeat long ago.

"Hmph! Do you all want me dead?"

Danzo, resurrected by Izanagi, approached the Third Hokage in a huff, hoping to claim responsibility for the compensation owed to the Uchiha clan.

"Stop messing around! Danzo, are you really trying to force the Uchiha clan to rebel?"

The other two were so frightened that they gasped for breath, thinking that Danzo was up to something again. But this time, Danzo sincerely said that he genuinely wanted to repent to the Uchiha.

Both Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu felt that Danzo was just making excuses, but the Third Hokage, pale-faced, guessed that Danzo might have been controlled by Kotoamatsukami.

Looking at Danzo in front of him, his appearance, tone of voice, and even his covetous gaze toward the Hokage were all so familiar, but... he was no longer the Danzo he remembered.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage couldn't help but shed tears, realizing that he had ultimately failed to stop Danzo from becoming what he was today.

"Sarutobi? Why are you crying? Sarutobi?"

Danzo frowned, took the Third Hokage's hand, and asked with concern.

"Um...did I come at a bad time?"

Ningxia's lips twitched. He had only come over to get the Third Hokage's approval to let Kakashi stay with him, but he didn't expect to see him as soon as he came in.

The third generation was in much better condition at this point, but he was still a little embarrassed to be seen, so he quickly approved the note for Ningxia.

When Ningxia returned home, Kakashi was being questioned about his past by Naruko, who already knew that Kakashi was her late father's student.

Although she had no emotional connection with them, Naruko was still somewhat curious.

When his teacher was mentioned, Kakashi finally reacted. His mouth moved under his mask, and he spoke in a hoarse voice about his teacher.

"..."

Naruko listened in silence. Her memories of Minato and Kushina were limited to the recollections Minato had given her. She learned more about the two from Kakashi.

Kakashi only seemed to recover slightly when his teacher was mentioned.

But judging from his hoarse, low voice and even somewhat degenerated speech, it was clear that Kakashi hadn't spoken in a long time.

"Kakashi."

Ningxia produced the approval slip from three generations, indicating that she would stay at the clinic from today onwards; this was her mission.

"Smack!"

With the sound of the laptop falling to the ground, Ningxia turned to look at Xiyan with some confusion, while Xiyan had only one thought in her mind at that moment: "Have I been replaced?"
