Chapter 96 A belated opening of eyes
Chapter 96 A belated opening of eyes
After entering the house, Kakashi quickly discovered that in addition to the woman, there was a girl slightly older than him. She had a single ponytail and very delicate features. She was wearing a half-sleeved gown and a knee-length skirt. Organize food at home.
No wonder the woman just kept saying "we" when she opened her mouth. It turned out to be because there were other people in the room.
Judging from her clothing, this girl must not be a ninja, because few female ninjas wear skirts.
When Kakashi entered the room, the girl in the room was as frightened as her mother.
And Kakashi noticed that she seemed to recognize him as well.
"You - from the Hatake family? Don't hurt mom! If anything happens, just come to me! I am daddy's daughter, and the money is all mine and has nothing to do with mom!"
The girl was very excited when she saw Kakashi. Although she was not a ninja, she bravely opened her arms in front of her mother and looked at Kakashi as if she was dead.
This made Kakashi even more confused.
"Why should I hurt you? Also, what is the money you are talking about?"
Now the woman and girl were stunned.
They all looked at Kakashi in surprise.
"You...so you don't know yet?"
"What should I know?"
Kakashi's eyes narrowed and his gaze became sharp.
This made the girl nervously protect her mother again.
On the contrary, after the woman smiled bitterly, she suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.
"Then let me say it. Anyway, I should have thought that this day would come sooner or later."
She first invited Kakashi to sit down and asked her daughter to make Kakashi a cup of tea.
The girl was very scared, but still obeyed the woman's words and served Kakashi tea and sweets.
But as the woman opened her mouth, Kakashi no longer had the intention of drinking tea.
"My husband is the ninja who was rescued by your father, but betrayed and accused him, and finally committed suicide due to guilt after your father's death."
"what?!"
Kakashi's eyes widened momentarily.
And the past that really shocked him was just about to unfold.
"That day a few years ago, my husband came back with your father. Although he was rescued by your father, he was still seriously injured during the mission. Those injuries may even ruin his ninja career. He was Therefore, I am very anxious and worried that I will lose my livelihood as a result.
As a result, that night, our family suddenly received a large amount of money. My husband sat on the balcony all night and didn't sleep until dawn. We tried to persuade him not to be greedy for the windfall, but he finally agreed. The request of the man behind the scenes.
I am really, really sorry for the children of the Hatake family. My husband... did something very inappropriate, but at that time he was also worried about the future of our family.
And my husband told us at the time that the person behind the scenes only asked him to do this to damage your father's reputation. He just wanted to remove your father from the position of Jonin class leader and Hokage candidate. There was no other purpose. .
My husband believed what that person said and thought that doing so would not hurt your father too much, so he stood up and said those words. "
Hearing this, Kakashi, who was sitting in his seat, straightened his back, lifted his butt off the cushion, and clenched his hands under the table into fists, so hard that the veins on the backs of his hands were clearly visible!
At the same time, what frightened the girl next to him even more was that the Sharingan magatama in Kakashi's eye socket was spinning crazily at this moment, spinning faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye it actually formed a complete black dart pattern!
At this time in the original work, Kakashi had already opened his kaleidoscope, but in this world, Lin did not die because of Hinata Inaba's previous beard cutting, so Kakashi's opening of his eyes was naturally interrupted at that time.
But now, this process can be regarded as filling in.
Kakashi himself was not aware of his own changes at all. Only the woman and girl on the table in front of him noticed a cold breath coming towards their faces at the same time, as if the temperature of the entire room dropped several degrees.
<divclass="contentadv">It wasn't until he noticed that the woman paused for a long time that Kakashi realized something was wrong with him.
He hurriedly pulled off his forehead protector, and instead of studying the changes in his eyes, he asked dryly and eagerly: "What happened next?"
The woman continued to explain: "Later, your father died, and my husband was devastated. He went to find the man behind the scenes and wanted to ask him why he was like this, but when he came back, he was even more seriously injured.
In the end, he was still reluctant to part with the money. He wanted to leave the money to us safely, so he never went to find the man behind the scenes. He just left home alone one night and went to the place where your father once guided him. That training ground committed suicide. "
After listening to the whole story, Kakashi didn't speak for a long time. He didn't get angry or lose control.
It's just that the expression on his face that seemed to never wake up is now gone, and his eyes have become as cold and biting as when he used a Chidori to pierce one enemy after another when he was on a mission.
The low air pressure around him frightened the woman's daughter. The little girl with a single ponytail couldn't help but take several steps away from him, and ran to her mother tremblingly.
"Please...please don't hurt mom, I...I can compensate you."
But Kakashi just responded coldly: "No need."
In his simple ninja values, accepting money means accepting a task, either doing things for others or settling the cause.
But this time, he didn't want to choose either one!
He was not willing to let the past go away like this!
He suddenly remembered what his father once taught him——
Kakashi, never give up on the beliefs you should insist on because of others' negation and accusations, let alone regret the decisions you once thought were right because of the slander and abuse you encounter afterwards.
My father's words are still in my ears. Looking back, my father never regretted or complained before he left. He just faced the village that denied him calmly. He would rather die than bend his will to make his ambition clear.
Ah! So why did I feel that my father was wrong during those years?
How ridiculous!
It turns out that the masked man was right. He didn't understand his father White Fang at all, and he didn't even really live in the past...
But now, he has finally found the meaning of life!
He took a deep breath, restrained his unconscious murderous intent, and asked the woman in front of him as calmly as possible.
"Do you know who was behind the instigation of your husband to do that?"
The woman shook her head in horror, but her eyes involuntarily drifted outside the room.
Kakashi understood something immediately and didn't ask any more questions.
Then he picked up the tea cup on the table, pulled down his mask and drank the tea in one gulp like a cow drinking. Then he put the mask back on and simply stood up and left.
He had nothing left to ask.
He will find out the rest of the truth by himself!
The moment he walked out of the house, Kakashi suddenly remembered what Hinata Inaba once said to him on the Kirigakure battlefield.
"You should stand up, your father is a hero, there is no doubt about it! Don't deny his achievements just because he suffered a despicable plot!"
Inaba-kun should know something, right? He is so smart, even if he doesn't know the whole story, he should be able to guess the truth!
At that moment, the confused Kakashi seemed to have found his next direction again!
A seed that Hinata Inaba buried in his heart at that time has finally blossomed into a strange and bright flower of omen!
And this also announced that Obito's mission was successfully completed.
