Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

"Kakashi, you don't want to learn puppetry, do you?!"

Ye Cang put down his bowl and chopsticks, turned his head, and his eyes were indescribably solemn.

In fact, she is not so stupid that she cannot learn puppetry...

On the contrary, Ye Cang considered himself to be quite talented in learning puppetry.

But puppeteer is, after all, just a branch of ninja!

She knew it.

Giving up excellent ninjutsu qualifications and instead learning puppetry is undoubtedly a foolish act of missing the forest for the trees.

Even though there are extremely powerful puppeteers like Granny Chiyo, they are only a minority after all. Moreover, they have been immersed in puppetry for many years and have spent countless efforts and time to have the current superb skills.

She couldn't accept such a cost!

Even Kakashi, a genius, wouldn't be able to do that.

What's more, the puppeteer still has fatal flaws in its essence.

The predecessors took a different approach, just from the perspective of Sunagakure, but as a ninja...

Blacksmith need its own hardware!

The purpose of learning ninjutsu, physical techniques, and even illusion techniques is to strengthen the ninja's own abilities.

In Ye Cang's opinion, if one chooses to rely on external objects in pursuit of powerful strength, this is a road that is destined to become narrower and narrower.

No matter how skilled you are, in the eyes of anyone, you are still weak and fragile!

unless......

You can transform yourself into a puppet too!

But is this possible?

"Kakashi, I hope you'll give up this idea as soon as possible. Puppetry is not suitable for you."

Ye Cang frowned slightly and spoke earnestly.

A ninja like you shouldn't waste time on puppetry!

I believe that Chiyo-san would say the same thing...

"Don't worry, I understand, Sister Ye Cang."

Seeing the other party showing a rare serious expression, Kakashi was stunned at first, and then he understood the concern.

"I've never had such a thought."

"then you......"

"I'm just a little curious, hasn't Sister Ye Cang ever thought of this?"

If it were in Konoha, puppetry might be very popular.

Kakashi thought secretly.

“Actually, learning puppetry is quite troublesome.

"When I was very young, I was quite interested, until I tried it myself, and then... I wasn't that interested anymore."

As Ye Cang spoke, he suddenly felt his cheeks getting hot.

“I can’t help it, although I am a little lazy!

"But the skills of a puppeteer are not just about controlling puppets. They also include the production, design, and repair of puppets. These are very complicated..."

Kakashi couldn't help laughing as he listened to the other person's weak whisper.

Isn't this just 'lazy'?

As for taking so many detours!

Ye Cang lowered his eyes.

And the most important point she couldn't say.

The puppeteer's room is also a bit creepy...

"But puppetry is definitely not suitable for me."

Ye Cang pursed his lips and smiled, raising his hand.

A bright light suddenly bloomed in the palm of his hand, accompanied by the hot air, illuminating the entire room.

Scales gradually appeared on the scorching fireball, forming the shape of a red lotus.

really......

He possesses the Kekkei Genkai Scorch Release, a talent for ninjutsu. If he doesn't make good use of it, why would he need to learn puppetry?

That's simply a waste of resources!

Kakashi agreed.

Looking at the red lotus in the other person's hand, no matter when it is, one can't help but feel amazed...

and many more!

Kakashi's eyes narrowed and he sat up suddenly.

At this moment, something seemed to flash through my mind.

"Sister Ye Cang! How do you use your Scorch Release?"

......

"It's for hitting you!"

Ye Cang raised his eyebrows, and the fire lotus in his palm suddenly turned into scattered stars and dissipated bit by bit.

Is it necessary to ask such a common sense question with an obvious answer?

I'm afraid you're here to entertain me!

Seeing the inexplicable heat in the other person's eyes, Ye Cang's cheeks turned slightly red, and he couldn't help but say:

"Kakashi, what are you looking at..."

Looks like he wants to eat someone!

"Sister Ye Cang, tell me, your Burning Escape..."

Kakashi just realized it now.

What I need most...

It seems to have always been by my side!

Seeing the serious look in Kakashi's eyes, Ye Cang hesitated slightly.

This guy......

Is the theoretical knowledge really not enough?

"Bloodline limit is an innate talent. I can use fire attribute and wind attribute chakra at the same time. The wind attribute has a synergistic effect on the fire attribute. The combination of the two becomes a more powerful burning escape.

"Kakashi, this is something you can't learn even if you want to!"

Ye Cang said sullenly, flipping his palm and igniting another spark.

"So, my Scorch Release is actually equivalent to combining the changes in the properties of fire chakra and wind chakra, and then using my own abilities to derive changes in form...

"Just like I can carve this fireball into whatever shape I want, depending on my chakra control."

Kakashi was startled when he heard this.

Changes in properties and morphology...

These are indeed two direct ways to increase the power of ninjutsu.

If you think about it carefully, the Scorch Release that contains two types of chakra naturally has an extra change in the nature of the chakra, especially the wind that has a synergistic effect on the fire attribute...

Not only Scorch Release, in this way, the power of any bloodline limit can be explained by the most basic "nature change".

Once it is within the ability of the caster, coupled with changes in form, the power of the technique will undoubtedly be raised to a higher level.

"So, actually, I am also very talented in manipulating puppets. In other words, ninjas with bloodline limits all have the potential to become puppeteers.

“I’m not kidding you!

"Because we need to control two different types of chakra at the same time, in addition to our natural physique, our own chakra control ability is also quite high..."

As he was speaking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"I understand!"

"what?"

What do you understand?

Ye Cang rolled his eyes at him unhappily.

Always saying something inexplicable.

It’s so hard for me!

"Hey! Be careful, it's hot!"

A hand suddenly stretched out.

Ye Cang's eyes flickered, and he was about to put away the fireworks in his palm.

But the wrist was already firmly grasped.

Kakashi carefully examined the red fire lotus in front of him.

Each petal has a graceful curve, intertwined with each other, and the workmanship can be said to be quite exquisite.

From a distance, it might look more like a crystal flower.

This level of control...

Indeed, what Ye Cang said is right, her chakra control ability is really strong!

He just came closer and looked at me.

Suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he still has self-awareness...

At least not to touch the fire.

The temperature of the burning escape can directly evaporate the blood!

Seeing Kakashi looking at the fireworks in his hand with a focused look, Ye Cang's heart moved...

The crystal flower in my hand kept changing its appearance.

"Sister Ye Cang, you..."

Kakashi was stunned, looking at the exquisite little person in front of him.

"Hahaha! Little Kakashi! How's it going?"

Ye Cang raised his head and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This is really 'little' Kakashi!

"This painting style...is not very realistic."

Kakashi complained silently.

Not only do he have small hands and feet, but he also has a big head!

Under the afro, there is a clear and stupid look in his eyes...

"Oh! It looks cuter this way! Here~"

-----------------

---＜How could this happen! ＞--------------

Kakashi knew that Ye Cang treated his wounds, which led to him being infected with poison, but he didn't say anything about it.

So as not to appear pretentious!

But everything is beyond words...

He believed that the two did not need to say anything more.

In the following days, I still go out early and come back late, taking on the "task" of taking care of the baby.

Even if you have already obtained it and used up the antidote serum first.

However, Kakashi felt that it was necessary to abide by the agreement.

After all, this is on someone else's territory...

And since I was bored waiting, I had some free time.

Spending time with children who are not very naughty can also help cultivate their sentiments!

"Hmm...what a small size."

Ye Cang murmured as he looked at the baby sleeping soundly in the crib.

He stretched out his little finger and gently hooked it on Gaara's face.

I originally thought that Fengying's child would be under heavy supervision, and it would be difficult for an outsider to see him.

However, I learned that they are now being taken care of by Chiyo, and Kakashi, as an outsider, can easily see them...

Ye Cang finally couldn't help but followed!

His eyes inadvertently glanced at a place not far away, where Kakashi was sitting next to Kankuro, watching him manipulate the puppet with great interest.

Compared to the 'little Kakashi' that he carved, Gaara on the bed seemed to be only a little bigger.

This is Lord Karura's youngest son...

Gaara.

Even when you are dying, tell your children, 'I will always love you'.

"Gaara is a premature baby, so he is smaller than a normal baby."

Ye Cang nodded slightly, then looked towards the source of the voice with a look of surprise.

"Uh, Granny Chiyo?"

Without him noticing it, a figure suddenly appeared from the opposite side of the crib.

God is unaware of it!

Chiyo held onto the edge of the bed, walked around, and suddenly came close to him and said in a low voice:

"You have really good taste, girl."

My vision...

What vision?

"Hey! Boy!"

Kakashi turned around helplessly.

'Kid' is my own exclusive title.

Even after being reminded countless times, it is clear that the other party will not change his mind.

“There is one thing I need to tell you.

"Although the antidote can neutralize the poison, the poison has existed for too long..."

Kakashi and Ye Cang looked at each other.

The journey from River Country to here did take the two of them a long time.

Chiyo went on to say, "The negative effects of long-term depression on the body are difficult to erase even after the poison is removed.

"If I'm not mistaken, you still feel stiffness in your hands and feet from time to time, right? Miss Hua Ling?"

"A little...right?"

Ye Cang frowned slightly.

Physically, I don't feel that much of an impact. I should be able to recover as long as I move around.

This is a ninja's instinct.

However, Grandma Chiyo's words can never be ignored.

"Whether you can recover as before depends on you, kid!"

Chiyo patted Kakashi on the shoulder.

"I...still need your instructions, senior!"

"Come on, let me give you some advice."

Chiyo said as she walked ahead and waved, leading Kakashi aside.

Ye Cang suddenly had a premonition.

Grandma Chiyo, what trouble is she going to make again?

Especially when he saw the two people looking at him, Kakashi nodded in agreement...

"Sister, sister! Why are you wearing a mask?!"

Just as he was about to step forward, the hem of his clothes was suddenly tugged at the back of his waist.

Temari...

"Is it because she's too pretty? My mother also said that good girls shouldn't be given to bad guys."

"This is it."

Looking at the little girl with big eyes, Ye Cang bent down and forced a smile:

"Your mother is right, but Temari will be right in the future too. After all, there will always be that day..."

-----------------

The night in Sunagakure was unusually peaceful.

Perhaps it is the harsh environment that makes it difficult for this village to maintain even a night market.

It looked very deserted.

A young girl carrying a lunch box walked down the corridor. She was wearing a headscarf and had faint purple lines on her cheeks.

These days, Juan is still responsible for receiving Kakashi and Ye Cang, and the daily meal delivery time has become fixed.

But there were some unexpected circumstances on this day!

Hearing the strange noises coming from his ears, Juan tiptoed slightly, walked closer cautiously, and then leaned his head against the door.

The sound in my ears suddenly became clearer.

“Hmm…Ah!——”

"Kakashi! Wait...wait! Be gentle! It hurts!——"

"No, no...don't! Not there!"

Listening to the soft hums and heavy breathing.

Juan covered his lips with his hand, and suddenly widened his eyes with a look of disbelief.

How...how could this happen!

......

inside the room.

A woman lay on the bed, clutching the quilt. She raised her head and begged for mercy in pain.

It hurts!

"Kakashi...be gentle!" Ye Cang turned his head and shouted sadly.

"No, Senior Chiyo has said that we must not lose even a bit of strength!"

Kakashi placed his hands on it, rubbing it with his fingertips from time to time, and occasionally making a fist to press against it with his knuckles.

Use external force to reactivate the body's ability to move.

——That’s how Chiyo-senpai explained it.

Kakashi had no doubts.

It’s part of the treatment!

and......

From the touch of his hands, he could feel that the muscles deep inside the other person's body were indeed tense and stiff.

Using the massage techniques my father used when I was a child...

Kakashi won't hold back!

......
