Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 602 Kakashi Has a Gentle Heart (Part 1)

When Kakashi returned to his rented apartment, he had just opened the door when he heard a woman's voice from inside: "Welcome home."

Kakashi was completely bewildered.

Then he immediately noticed a pair of women's shoes in the entryway.

After changing into indoor slippers, Kakashi went inside.

Then I saw Karin mopping the floor.

"Welcome back. Are you hungry? I bought some tofu, vegetables, and fish for dinner. Would you like me to make some fish soup?" Karin asked Kakashi gently.

Kakashi, looking completely bewildered, asked Karin, "What are you doing here?"

Hua Ling tilted her head: "My uncle sent me, didn't he tell you?"

Kakashi: "..."

The image of Sakumo Hatake's wrinkled face flashed through Kakashi's mind, and he cursed inwardly:

What the hell is the meaning of not letting Hua Ling live in the entire mansion of Qi Mu, and making her squeeze into a rented room with me?!

Because after Kakashi brought Karin back, Sakumo Hatake kept hinting to Kakashi to get close to the girl, Kakashi couldn't stand it anymore and ran away from home to find a simple rented room to live in. But then his own father, that old geezer, actually dumped Karin on him too?!

No, Old Deng, how did you know where I rented?!

(Sakumo Hatake: Your old man was once the head of the ANBU, so finding out where my own little brat rented a house shouldn't be too difficult, okay?)

Damn it, when you get old, just wait and see if I unplug your oxygen tube or not!

Kakashi sighed as he looked at Karin, who was wearing pajamas and dragging her feet in front of him.

Kakashi then looked around the room and saw a woven bag in the corner, which was probably Karin's luggage.

"It's so late, you should rest first. This apartment has one bedroom and one living room, you can sleep in the bedroom, and I'll sleep in the living room."

Kakashi said this to Karin.

Hua Ling shook her head: "No need, we can sleep in the bedroom together."

Kakashi looked completely bewildered.

Hua Ling seemed to realize the ambiguity of her words and quickly explained, "What I meant was, you can sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the floor..."

Kakashi sighed as he looked at Karin's tense expression.

Does Karin like herself?

Kakashi isn't a naive kid like Naruto; he's a mature adult.

Therefore, he could be certain that Karin had no doubt about his feelings for her.

but……

Kakashi definitely has no intention of getting married...

At least not now.

Therefore, Kakashi truly didn't know how to face Karin.

The main reason is that Yua, as the Hokage, entrusted Karin to him and asked him to make arrangements.

After all, the three Nara clans were waiting to go to Key Village with Karin after the Chunin Exams to reap the rewards, since Karin was there.

Therefore, it's impossible for Karin to simply abandon her and let her fend for herself.

Could it be that...?

Is he really going to share a bedroom with Hua Ling?

Kakashi was caught in a dilemma.

In the end, he backed down.

"Okay, I understand. You should rest today. I have something to discuss with my companion. Don't bother sleeping on the floor; just sleep in the bed. I'll deal with this tomorrow."

Karin blinked and looked at Kakashi.

After Kakashi finished speaking, he immediately left.

Looking at the empty room after Kakashi left, Karin's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment.

A moment later, Hualing picked up the mop next to her and continued mopping the floor...

Three minutes later, at Obito's house:

"Ding-dong"

"Coming, coming! Who is it? Ringing someone's doorbell in the middle of the night?"

Obito looked displeased.

The third round of the Chunin Exams is in three days, and I won't be able to go back for at least several days. I was just about to go to sleep with Rin Nohara when someone woke me up.

When Obito opened the door, he saw Kakashi standing in the doorway, staring at him with dead fish eyes.

Obito was slightly taken aback, then rubbed his eyes. After confirming that it was indeed Kakashi in front of him, Obito turned his head to look at the clock in his living room.

"It's one in the morning, why are you at my house instead of sleeping?" Obito crossed his arms and looked at Obito with dissatisfaction.

Kakashi looked at Obito with deadpan eyes: "I'm going to stay here for the night."

Obito looked completely bewildered: "Are you crazy? Why aren't you sleeping at home? What are you doing here?"

Kakashi sneered, "If I had a place to sleep, would I need to come to you?"

Obito frowned. What did Kakashi mean by that?

Then, as if he had just realized something, Obito looked Kakashi up and down, a wicked smile spreading across his face: "Ah, I get it, your dad's pressuring you to get married again?"

Sakumo Hatake has been almost obsessed with his son's affairs over the years. Basically, everyone in Konoha who knows Sakumo Hatake knows about the Hatake family's situation.

Yes, I also know that Sakumo Hatake's wife, Kakashi's mother, had only one wish before she died: to see Kakashi get married.

It still failed.

At the time, Rin Nohara felt compassion, but after talking with Kakashi's mother in the hospital bed, she gave up the idea of ​​deceiving the kind mother with her good intentions.

As a result, the relationship between Obito, Rin Nohara, and Kakashi is not as strained as before.

After all, a man who has experienced life and death will always be much more mature.

"Hmm, OB Tu, who is it? You're making so much noise, be careful not to wake the kids."

A woman in pajamas walked out of the bedroom, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

It was Nohara Rin, who was already a mother.

Kakashi looked at Nohara Rin, who naturally saw him too. Her eyes lit up immediately: "Kakashi? You actually came?"

Kakashi was a little embarrassed, but he nodded nonetheless.

I had anticipated this when I came here.

Obito chuckled and leaned against the doorframe, saying to Rin, "Kakashi must be being pressured by his dad to get married, otherwise he wouldn't be here in the middle of the night instead of going home."

Rin walked over and punched Obito in the chest, then hugged Kakashi before letting go.

"It's alright, you can come anytime you want. We always have a room ready for you."

Lin looked at Kakashi with a smile and said.

Obito pursed his lips; he didn't want Kakashi to come every day.

Kakashi glanced at Rin, sighed, and said helplessly, "Things are a bit complicated. I wasn't... by my father..."

Well, okay, that's part of the reason, but anyway, it's not the most important reason, um...

"Never mind, there's no harm in telling you all, it's not anything important anyway."

Kakashi then sat down and told Obito and Rin about his situation.

After hearing this, Obito hadn't reacted much yet, but Rin couldn't sit still any longer:

"Kakashi, how could you do this?! Do you know how heartbroken that girl named Karin was when you left in the middle of the night?!"
