Hikaru Hokage

thump!

Once the tense mind relaxes, the severely injured body can no longer support it.

In his blur of consciousness, Kakashi, who fell to the ground, seemed to see his father's back for a moment.

Is he still unable to escape his father's fate?

"Kakashi!"

-

"I see, you have indeed encountered a strong enemy."

There were not many twists and turns. Hino Hikari and Nohara Rin met Obito running toward them with Kakashi on his back halfway.

Kakashi, who is now unconscious, is being treated by Nohara Rin.

Hino Hikari and Obito were building a camp together.

Both of them told each other about their encounters with enemies.

"I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have met the ninjas of Iwagakure Village, and neither would Kakashi..."

It seemed that he had just cried on the way here, and Obito's eyes were still a little red.

However, he remembered Kakashi's rule that ninjas should not shed tears, so he stopped abruptly.

"And...thank you for protecting Lin."

After seeing that Nohara Rin only suffered a slight injury to her thigh and was fine overall, the last big stone in Obito's heart was relieved.

"No, I just..."

After hearing Obito angrily open the three Magatama Sharingan, Hino Hikaru was still in a state of shock similar to Kakashi's before.

But thinking back...

After all, he is Obito, so it is not unusual for him to activate the Mangekyō Sharingan anytime.

Just three magatama.

Ah, so sour, why didn’t I travel through time and become a member of the Uchiha clan?

Hino Hikaru feels that compared to his own superpower plug-in, humanoid wall-mounted plug-ins like Uchiha Obito are more powerful.

Moreover, I have to say that even among the Uchiha clan's wall-mounted people, Obito is definitely the wall-mounted one.

Some people can only open one magatama when their entire clan is killed, and some people can open three magatama when their companions are injured...

"Kakashi... his life is not in danger."

After wiping the sweat from her forehead, Nohara Rin, who had done her best to treat Kakashi, came over and interrupted Hino Hikari and Obito's chat.

"His arm was just dislocated and has been reattached now, but his eyes are..."

The damage to Kakashi's left eye was so severe that it was basically impossible to regain his sight.

Nohara Rin never thought that Kakashi would be so seriously injured.

Instead, the unreliable Obito finally broke out and defeated the enemy.

"Kakashi..."

After hearing that Kakashi's eyes could not recover, Obito looked at Kakashi lying on the grass with a look of remorse.

"With soil..."

Just when Obito was hurt, Kakashi finally raised his eyelids, and then used his good hand to support his body and sat up.

"How long have I slept?"

The first thing Kakashi saw when he woke up was the sky.

Unlike the dark night before the coma, it was now a sunny day.

"Don't worry, it's just been a night."

Unexpectedly, Kakashi still did not escape the fate of losing his eyes.

Looking at Kakashi who could only open one eye, Hino couldn't help but sigh.

"Then it should be too late now."

Ignoring Obito and Nohara Rin's concerns, Kakashi struggled to stand up.

"How far is it from Kannabi Bridge?"

"It's not far. If you walk at a normal driving speed for about half a day, you'll almost be there."

During the time when Kakashi was unconscious, Hino Hikaru had already studied the map.

"Then let's go now."

"No more rest?"

Although he heard that his life was not serious, Obito was still a little worried about Kakashi's current health.

"It's okay, I'm just on my way, and my legs and feet are not injured."

After trying to move his body, Kakashi found that his eyes were the most seriously injured, and his arms had almost regained consciousness.

"Ok."

Nohara Lin checked Kakashi's injuries again, and then nodded helplessly to everyone.

"Let's reconnoiter the surrounding area first. Although we have successfully defeated the enemy before, there is the garrison of Yanyin Village here after all. There may be other enemies approaching us."

Kakashi said as he jumped onto the top of a big tree.

"Yes."

Obito and Nohara Rin also dispersed in other directions.

In an instant, everyone returned to the task state.

"After losing his eyes, he finally became much more stable than before..."

Seeing the changes in Kakashi's demeanor and temperament when he woke up, Hino Hikaru was thoughtful.

-

"It's time to get up, Tsunade-sama..."

It was already time to go to Konoha Hospital for duty, but Tsunade was still nowhere to be seen.

Shizune, who had made breakfast early in the morning and was waiting for Tsunade to get up, couldn't help but feel a little anxious. .

"Don't Tsunade-sama plan to go to the hospital today?"

With such suspicion, Shizune knocked gently on Tsunade's door.

But there was no response.

"Master Tsunade?"

Shizune, who finally realized something was wrong, quickly opened Tsunade's door.

However, the room was already empty, except for a letter left for her.

"What, Tsunade-sama actually went to the battlefield in person!? You want me to pretend to be her and stay in Konoha?"

Chapter 29 I’ll leave it to you, Lin

Even if we are used to being alone, humans still feel lonely.

at night.

Tsunade was drinking alone in the corridor of the mansion, leaning on the railing.

"I don't know if that pervert is still alive."

Do not……

A mere genin, even if he is lucky enough to be promoted to chuunin, is nothing more than cannon fodder on the battlefield that can be eliminated with one kunai or one ninjutsu.

What's more, that guy is on an S-class mission that goes deep into the enemy's rear. No matter what you think...he can't even be alive now.

"what……"

Taking a swig of wine for herself, Tsunade let out a heavy breath.

How stupid to go even though she knew she was going to die, knowing she had never won a bet...

"But..."

Thinking of that not-so-serious bet, Tsunade felt angry and funny.

"Ugh."

But it eventually turned into a soft sigh.

Returning to the house, looking at the clean and tidy room where someone lived, and seeing the photo frame of herself and her brother Naoki that had been put up again on the table, Tsunade couldn't help but recall many past events.

Then I gradually started to think about Hikaru Hino.

What kind of mood did he have to tidy up and clean this room that didn't belong to him the day before leaving?

And that night, he was clearly peeking at my body, but he said that the moonlight was so beautiful.

"I really can't understand him..."

It was just an accident, and he started to treat her unreasonably, and even went to work in that romantic place in order to make money to support her.

Childish kid.

As a mature adult, she would not be swayed by a man just because of an unexpected relationship...well, even if the accident was her first time.

'Miss Tsunade, do you want to marry me? ', 'This is all the money I have, just consider it as accommodation and food expenses', 'One day, Miss Tsunade will overcome her illness, and by that time...', 'Miss Tsunade, what are you and me doing now? What is the relationship? ''Because Miss Tsunade's body is very warm and I like it very much'', ''I want Miss Tsunade to bet that I can come back alive''...

But sometimes the more you try to suppress it, the easier it is to lose control.

Tsunade desperately covered her head with her hands, but the bits and pieces of being with Hino Hikari were like a tide that flooded her whole body.

"enough!"

She then dreamed of her brother Naoki stepping on the detonating charm trap on the battlefield, but at the end of the dream, her brother Naoki's appearance suddenly changed into that of Hino Hikari.

Then these dead memories began to attack her brain continuously, and she finally gave up on herself and put down her hands.

"I want to go to the battlefield in person to capture this guy who disturbs Qingming's dreams!"

After being awakened by a nightmare, Tsunade finally made up her mind.

Of course you have to fulfill your own bet!

She no longer wanted to be the person in Konoha Village who waited for news.

-

The country of grass.

Of course Hino Hikaru couldn't know that Tsunade had set out to find him.

And the dilemma he faces now is not small.

Although the four of them successfully defeated the two jonin of Iwagakure and successfully completed the meeting, they still encountered a large number of ninjas from Iwagakure on their final way to Kannabi Bridge.

I don’t know how the other party knew the news. Hikaru, Kakashi and others hadn’t left for long when they happened to encounter this group of enemies on the road——

There are more than 20 ninjas from Iwagakure Village, and their strength is no less than that of a chuunin.

And the ninja at the head could tell at a glance that he was an elite jounin.

The momentum of this chakra burst alone was enough to crush the four of them.

Although there is still some distance between the two sides, both sides have sensed each other.

"Retreat, there is a cave there, you should be able to hide for a while..."

Now it was impossible to finish the mission bravely, and Kakashi no longer believed that the mission was everything, so after understanding the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, he decisively issued a retreat order.

"The ninjas who go to the cave to hide in Iwagakure might be ambushed. Why not go over there - there is a river over there. Maybe we can hide in the water and escape."

Hino Hikaru feels that going to the cave is likely to result in a group annihilation.

"it is good!"
