On the bed, Kakashi opened his eyes and looked at the white ceiling, confused for a moment.

"Kakashi!" An excited greeting sounded beside the bed. Kakashi looked in the direction of the voice. "Teacher, Sandaime, Haiyi... and, Lady Tsunade!?"

Suddenly, Kakashi's fragmented thoughts connected with reality!

"Ah! How is the village? Have the attackers been repelled?"

Hiruzen said: "Don't worry Kakashi! That happened more than half a year ago!"

"What... half a year!?" Kakashi's pupils suddenly shrank. He looked around the ward, then lifted the quilt and looked at the hospital gown he was wearing. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"So, I have been in the hospital and unconscious until now?"

Minato said, "Yes, you have been in a coma since the attack. The medical team tried everything to wake you up, but it was only thanks to Lady Tsunade returning to the village that she was able to wake you up using her extraordinary medical ninjutsu..."

"Lady Tsunade." Kakashi turned his gaze to Tsunade.

As Minato's disciple and a person that Konoha focuses on training, Kakashi has access to core information that many of his peers do not have access to.

He knew about Tsunade's situation.

So, Lady Tsunade has gotten over the fear of blood that had troubled her for many years, and has found her own medical ninjutsu...

Of course, these are not things he can talk about openly as a junior.

He said respectfully, "Tsunade-sama, thank you so much!"

Tsunade sat on the chair and nodded slightly, "Are you feeling well?"

Kakashi said: "Well, I'm fine. I don't feel any obvious discomfort, but I'm a little weak..."

Tsunade said: "Of course you have been injected with nutrient solution for half a year. You need to rest for a week before you can be discharged from the hospital!"

"A week..." Kakashi muttered, "It's been almost half a year, a week really isn't a big deal."

Tsunade shouted to the door, "Shizune!"

Shizune trotted in, "Lady Tsunade!!"

Tsunade said: "Go prepare medicinal food for Kakashi! Also, you don't have to serve me for the next week! I will take care of Kakashi's diet and daily life here!"

Shizune glanced at the bed and nodded obediently, "Yes... Lady Tsunade!"

Minato scratched his head and said: "Shizune is your follower. I can just transfer someone from the medical corps to take care of Kakashi. Why bother her..."

Tsunade rubbed his shoulders and said, "Shizune is more attentive. Besides, when she's not around, I can rarely get a few days of peace and quiet."

"Kakashi, can you tell me what happened before you fell unconscious?"

Yamanaka Inoichi's words made everyone's eyes focus on Kakashi's face again.

Kakashi lowered his eyes, "I remember that Kai and I split up into two groups and chased the two invaders separately. Then, we chased them into an alley..."

His words paused.

"What next?" Hai Yi asked impatiently.

"And then..." A confused look flashed across Kakashi's eyes. He frowned and tried hard to recall.

"I just remember that I seemed to use Chidori..."

Haiyi said: "Yes, you did use Chidori to pierce the shoulder of the masked woman. This has been confirmed by the Fourth Hokage. Because the Fourth Hokage also fought with the masked woman, he only knew that she could use psychic communication, and nothing else. We need your information to supplement the database about the masked woman!"

"Mask...woman, pierced, shoulder?" These key words successfully evoked Kakashi's memories, and a blurry image with snowflakes flashed in his mind.

Kakashi concentrated his mind and tried to clear away the fog that enveloped that face, but just as that face was about to appear... a sharp pain came over him, and he suddenly covered his left eye! !

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!”

"Hey... Kakashi!" Minato stepped forward and supported him: "Are you okay?"

Kakashi said guiltily: "I'm sorry, teacher, I really can't remember what I saw..."

Minato supported him, leaned against the head of the bed, and comforted him gently: "Okay. Now that the matter has passed, don't recall it anymore. Your safety is more important than anything else."

After saying that, he turned to Hai Yi and gave him an apologetic look.

I understand.

The fourth generation still loves his disciples.

"Then I'll go back to my post. And, Kakashi, you should have a good rest."

Kakashi said: "Thank you for your care, Mr. Haiyi. If you have a chance, please say hello to Kai for me and tell him to focus on his own tasks and not come to the hospital to see me. I will go find him after I am discharged from the hospital."

Hai Yi smiled and said, "I will."

After Haiyi left, Kakashi asked, "Teacher, your child should have been born, right?"

Minato smiled and said, "It's rare that you're still concerned about this matter. Kushina's due date is in ten days."

Kakashi was surprised and said, "Ah, ten days later? Then you must be very busy, Sensei! You specially came to visit me..."

"Don't worry, Master Jiraiya, I'll be looking after you at home for me."

"Ah!! Master Jiraiya has returned to the village as well??"

"Yes, he has been living in my house."

Kakashi smiled helplessly: "It seems that there is nothing I can be of use to..."

Minato said: "Your top priority now is to take good care of your body and return to your ninja post as soon as possible. Kushina has a special status, and her delivery is related to the safety of Konoha. The third generation's wife, Lady Biwako, and my direct Anbu have been preparing for this matter a long time ago, and now Lady Tsunade is back, which makes me even less worried."

Tsunade and Hiruzen came to the corridor outside the ward.

Hiruzen picked up his pipe and said, "Tsunade, what do you think about Kakashi's amnesia?"

Tsunade put her arms on the railing, looked at the Hokage Rock with her beautiful eyes, and said: "The psychological trauma left behind is too great. For self-protection, the brain has closed off the memory of the trauma."

Hiruzen kept puffing out smoke and muttered, "Is that so? It seems he really saw something extraordinary..."

He changed the subject and said, "You already know about Kushina's affairs, right..."

"Yes!" Tsunade nodded: "That's why I came back. My grandmother Uzumaki Mito faced problems back then. Now that I have the ability to face them now, I will not shirk my responsibilities!"

Hiruzen relaxed his brows and said with deep emotion: "It is so comforting to hear these words from you..."

Tsunade glanced at him from the corner of her eyes, "Old man, you are almost there too, stop playing dumb with me, okay?"

Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, then put away his pipe and said, "You, what are you talking about?"

Tsunade turned around and stared at him seriously: "Others may not be able to see it, but you can't hide it from the eyes of a top medical ninja like me. You were injured not long ago! Very seriously injured!"

"..." Hearing this, Hiruzen put the pipe back in his mouth and fell silent.

Tsunade continued, "I heard from someone that you received a mysterious letter three months ago and then left the village. You came back the next day. Who did you go to see?"

"..." Hiruzen remained silent.

Tsunade said without allowing any argument: "Old man, you know my temper! I advise you to tell the truth!"

"Ah." Hiruzen sighed and slowly reached his hand into his arms...

I'll take a break these two days so I can devote myself to my creation. Please forgive me...
