I, who was determined to stay in Naruto, became the white moonlight

The dark night contrasts sharply with the warm and lively sounds inside the store, casting a cloak of loneliness on passers-by.

He originally thought that since he had left early, he would have to retake the test, but after returning to the Anbu, he was told that he was allowed to pass because of his good talent.

Even though he still had to undergo an internal assessment within the team, it did not stop Kakashi Hatake from coming to the party with unspeakable joy.

I walked through the streets without stopping and finally arrived at the store entrance.

There was still a sense of coldness about him. While calming his breath, Hatake Kakashi glanced back and forth in the store until he caught sight of the only girl sitting quietly among the bustling crowd. His deep eyes no longer moved.

She lowered her head, as if in a daze, but her silent posture seemed to have erected an invisible barrier around her, isolating herself from the joy around her.

Looking at her like this, Hatake Kakashi slowly calmed down.

After leaving the battlefield, Haruko began to become steady and mature. She no longer made teasing remarks, no longer tried to be lazy, and no longer acted weird with Uchiha Obito.

She became gentler, stronger, and lonelier.

No matter how many people are around her, she always seems to be independent of this world, with an imperceptible loneliness and desolation.

He had vowed to her, "You are the Haruko I know," but in the end, he seemed unsure. She was both the Haruko he knew and the Haruko he didn't know.

The joy of passing the test faded away, and with every breath, the faint loneliness in her penetrated into his body through the noisy crowd.

Two lonely souls inside and outside the store, intertwined in silence.

Hatake Kakashi unconsciously took a step closer to her. Leaving all the noise and bustle behind, wrapping himself in loneliness, what did you think of this night...

Feeling a vague gaze, Haruko turned her head, passed over Uchiha Obito who was frantically disguising himself, and looked at the upright figure outside the store.

Kakashi?

Meeting her gaze, Hatake Kakashi raised his hand and waved, signaling her to come out.

Not knowing why he didn't come in and asked her to go out, Haruko got up and left while everyone was having fun and not paying attention to her.

The summer night is also hot, and the sound of wind blows into my ears intermittently.

Hatake Kakashi spoke first, "I passed the ANBU test. Although there is still a probation period, it should be fine."

Upon hearing the news, Haruko was slightly stunned, not knowing whether to be happy for him or feel the unexpected trouble first.

I originally proposed this bet just hoping that he would give up, but I didn't expect that he would really enter the Anbu with his own abilities. Should I say that he is worthy of being called a genius since his student days.

Pretending not to notice her struggle, Hatake Kakashi continued, "It was Minato-sensei who introduced me, so it's so fast."

"Kakashi, I don't want you to get involved in my plans."

She answered almost as soon as he finished speaking. Even if it was against the agreement she had made with him, Haruko didn't want to involve him in pain that could have been avoided.

For this reason, I looked at him directly with clear eyes, wanting to convey my feelings to him completely.

And it was precisely because her eyes were too honest and clear that Kakashi Hatake lowered his eyelashes, unwilling to accept her good intentions of not letting him participate.

Silence stretched endlessly between the two.

There was a childish voice in his heart accusing him that he had come here at night just to be the first to tell her about his entry into the Anbu, just to get her recognition and become the only one involved in her plan.

But she gently denied all of this.

"why?"

Hatake Kakashi heard his own voice blurt out.

"Because you will become miserable, and if you know everything and forget everything... the pain will be even more intense."

"Forgotten?"

He couldn't quite understand what she meant, but judging from her attitude, she didn't seem like she would explain, so Hatake Kakashi fell silent.

Without the anticipation to drive me forward, the fatigue from days of studying for the exam finally flooded my nerves.

The days in the Anbu were dark and gloomy. Only for her plan could he grit his teeth and support himself to stand up on the edge of the limit. Only by thinking of her could he get a moment of respite from the pain again and again.

Suddenly, Hatake Kakashi remembered her previous question, "Why are you trying to get involved in my plan?"

Why, he also wanted to know why.

Why did he go to such lengths? Why did he have to participate in her plan? Why did he persist just by thinking of her?

The closed test for several days actually gave him space to talk to himself. At first he still couldn't figure it out, but gradually he seemed to have figured out the reason, and then he stopped exploring.

As you analyze your subtle emotions layer by layer, the deeper you go, the stronger and more powerful the emotions that burst forth.

In the end, he could only panic and tightly wrap up all his emotions, but no matter how hard he tried to suppress them, he couldn't resist the throbbing caused by her.

He wanted to be her plan, meaning, he wanted to be special to her.

His thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and Kakashi Hatake pursed his lips, trying not to show his emotions.

Taking his expression into account, Haruko thought he was sulking, so she took a step closer, shortening the distance between them. When she looked up at him, she could even smell the cold breath coming from him.

"Kakashi, I don't want you to suffer."

The nonsensical words somehow comforted Hatake Kakashi. At least, the reason for rejecting him was because he was worried about him.

Perhaps fatigue disrupted his thinking, or perhaps the fragrance that belonged to her lingering in his nose was too dizzying, Hatake Kakashi moved closer on the basis of the already short distance.

He grabbed Haruko, who was retreating subconsciously, and wrapped his long, white fingers around her wrist.

After making sure that she had stopped, Hatake Kakashi slowly lowered his head and rested his forehead on her thin shoulder, feeling the softness of her body.

He opened his lips slightly, his tone full of tiredness and request.

"Haruko, I kept my promise."

The slightly spiky silver hair stuck to the side of Haruko's neck, and a breath that didn't belong to her sprayed on her clothes, as if she was stained with his scent.

This was the Hatake Kakashi she had never seen before. The image he had always presented was that of a lonely cat, always looking at all kinds of people passing by with a cold and arrogant attitude.

If someone stops, no matter whether you praise it or belittle it, it will not care.

If someone squats down and wants to touch it, it will jump away sensitively, rejecting all closeness and kindness.

It always keeps to itself, and even if you see it every day and become familiar with it, it is unlikely to have any other reaction to you, so you will think that it will always be cold and arrogant.

Until you become busy and find that it can't occupy your time, it begins to approach you tentatively.

It disguises itself in the beginning, and then tries every possible means to catch up with you. Only then do you realize it and squat down to talk to it.

Unexpectedly, it came up to me and asked to be touched, but its every move showed how tired it was.

"Haruko."

He deliberately lowered his voice, which made people feel distressed for no reason.

My dears, I missed Chapter 235 before. I only found it when I was checking (tot). I am adding it now. I am so sorry!

Starting from July, I will resume daily updates, and I will still update twice a day. I hope the little cuties will not get too fat and come to see our Qingzi every day. The author will be very happy! (? ? ? ? )??
