Mixed with Konoha water everyday life

The Hokage's house.

Lin was sitting on the sofa basking in the sun, while Naruko sat on the side and carefully observed Lin's slightly bulging belly.

Yes, Lin is pregnant, and if nothing else happens, it should be Kakashi's.

Peace after war is always the easiest thing for people to cherish. While lamenting the loss of life, it also inspired the living to have awe of life and stimulated human beings' instinct of eagerness to reproduce. Therefore, with Kakashi's hard work, They won the bid.

This is of course a good thing, not only for Kakashi's family, but also for Minato's family.

Regardless of the teacher-student relationship between Minato and him, or the years of getting along with each other, Minato's family has long regarded these two as their own relatives. Moreover, Kushina's first two pregnancies were all the work of Kakashi and Lin. After all the busy work, when it was Lin's turn this time, she was taken to Minato's house as a matter of course, and Kushina took care of Lin's daily life.

At first, Lin refused, and even thought of continuing to work in the hospital for a while. After all, the fetus was still very young at this time and did not need to be so careful and careful. However, in the end, Kushina sternly refused and suspended the operation. Hospital work.

Tsunade also waved her hand and approved her indefinite leave. She can come back when she has time. Anyway, the injuries after the war have basically recovered, and the hospital has returned to normal operation at this time. There is no urgent need. When manpower is available.

At this moment, Naruko was lying in front of Lin, her ear gently pressed against Lin's belly, hoping to hear some movement, but unfortunately to no avail, but she was not disappointed at all. She looked at Lin expectantly,

"Sister Lin, when the little guy grows up, can you let me be his teacher?"

"Hey, Naruko has already thought that far?"

"Yeah! I will definitely protect him."

"Then please leave it to Naruko."

Seeing Naruko's expectant look, Lin couldn't help but think about what the child would be like when he grew up. Will he be more well-behaved or naughty, quiet or active?If only I could be as reassuring as Naruko.

Lin, who watched Naruko grow up, witnessed all of Naruko's childhood and growth before she disappeared. In her eyes, Naruko was so well-behaved that it was heartbreaking. Even now that she has grown up, she can still make people feel at ease.

Dang~dang~

There was a regular knock on the door. No need to guess, it must be Sasuke. Naruko got up and opened the door.

At this time, Kushina came over with a fruit plate and placed it in front of Lin.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking, if only this child could be as well-behaved as Naruko."

The two of them looked at Naruko who opened the door at the same time, but Kushina shook her head.

"It's best not to. It's just because Naruko is too sensible, so I will always feel a little indebted to her."

Lin regretted bringing up this topic. She could also understand where Kushina's debt came from.

"Naruko won't care about those things."

"Yes, I know, but it is precisely because of this that I feel indebted."

Kushina has always felt that she is not a competent mother, especially for Naruko, the tailed beast sealed in her body, the 'imprisonment' of her when she was a child, and even losing her for a long time. These are all obstacles that Kushina can't overcome.

But Naruko didn't mention a word about these things, so she just swallowed the suffering she suffered in silence, and then turned around with a happy smile, never complaining about her dereliction of duty.

……

Naruko came to the entrance and opened the door. As expected.

"Morning, Sasuke."

Naruko said hello, and Sasuke went straight to the topic without any ink.

"Going to play?"

"emmm."

"Isn't it convenient? Then I'll ask again tomorrow."

"No, no, just wait for me and I'll change my clothes."

I don’t know why, but Sasuke was extremely attentive to him during this period, and would come to play with him from time to time. After all, before, Sasuke only focused on training and rarely played with him. Occasionally, Naruko would go to Sasuke when he went out to play. Now Sasuke is attentive. It's not that it's bad to dream about it too much, it just... feels weird.

On the contrary, Hinata has become very busy recently.

Because Naruko was very indebted to Hinata at first, she almost deliberately avoided Hinata. Later, Naruko figured it out. Many times, Naruko wanted to go to Hinata to apologize and let the two get back together.

But every time I went to Hinata's house, I could only see her staying with her father from a distance. There would be a large number of strangers around her, who seemed to be talking about something. Hinata could only smile helplessly when she saw herself.

It's been a long time since the two of them stuck together like before.

As for the reason, Naruko could vaguely guess it. After all, Hinata was a member of the clan, and the clan wanted to succeed the head of the family. The family was always very busy.

Hinata has her own ideals. Becoming the head of the Hyuga family is what she has always wanted to do. Now she is working towards her goal and she cannot disturb her.

……

At this time, in a residential building near the Hokage's house, Kakashi, who had just completed his mission, was sitting on the roof, his eyes always focused on the Hokage's house, looking through the glass at Lin who was chatting with Kushina inside.

When performing a mission, I always couldn't wait to go back quickly and see the two of them, but after I actually completed the mission, I was a little hesitant.

I wanted to run to her immediately, and listen quietly to the little one like Naruko, and I also wanted to be by her side to take care of her.

However, she was worried that she smelled like sweat mixed with the smell of blood, worried that her clumsiness might injure them, worried that she would be angry if she said the wrong thing...

Rather than worry, it would be more appropriate to say fear.

This prestigious copy ninja, the cold-blooded Kakashi would actually be timid. No one would believe it if he told it, but it did happen.

He only dared to look at her from a distance, and he didn't even dare to stand in front of her and say, "I'm back."

"Kakashi."

Suddenly, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from behind Kakashi. Kakashi turned around, only to see a man wearing a mask, but even so, Kakashi immediately ignored the visitor.

"Father, why are you here?"

The person who came was none other than Kakashi's father, Hatake Sakumo, the man who had hidden himself for many years.

"I came to see my grandson."

Sakumo said as he walked over to Kakashi and sat down, also looking at Rin at the Hokage's house.

"It's you, why don't you go in?"

"I can not."

"Don't you dare?"

"Yes, I don't dare. In other words, I'm not ready to learn how to be a good father."

Sakumo turned his head and looked at Kakashi's confused look. The last time he saw this expression on his face was when the news about his mission failure spread in the village.

"Well, I understand."

"Huh? Can you..."

Kakashi's words blurted out, but he suddenly stopped. Thinking about it, the father in front of him has been just like him over the years. He is timid and self-blaming and dare not approach him. I'm afraid he is just like himself now. , and look at myself from a distance from time to time.

And the reason for all this...

"Father, I can understand you and why you choose your teammates. If it were me, I would choose the same way."

"Did Obito give it to you?"

"Yes, that's him. He taught me a lot."

Sakumo nodded, but said nothing more. Kakashi would forgive him. Sakumo knew very early on that the only one who could not forgive himself was always himself.

No matter what original intention or persistence I had at that time, the unchangeable fact is that because of my decision-making, the mission failed, and because of the failure of my mission, it caused heavy losses to the village. Later, in order to make up for the losses caused by myself, , how many people have to pay the price of blood, this is why I can't forgive myself.

At the same time, he also allowed his father to influence Kakashi at that time, completely changing Kakashi's character, thus making Kakashi miss a lot of things he could have had.

Therefore, he chose to hide and watch from a distance, just like Kakashi now.
