Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

"Hey! Kakashi, long time no see?"

The tone, which is casual and yet carries a sense of vicissitudes, is very recognizable.

So much so that a figure immediately appeared in my mind...

Kakashi turned his head stiffly.

"Kakashi!" Ye Cang suddenly leaned close to his ear and said viciously.

“It’s this old pervert!

"I can't control you Konoha people, but you have to teach this disrespectful old scoundrel a lesson!"

It was this guy who scared Honghong away!

Ye Cang looked at the figure on the windowsill with a rather unfriendly look.

And actually......

He actually followed me all the way!

Can't stand it!

When I thought about it carefully, I felt even more horrified.

How can someone who sneaks up on a girl in the middle of the night be a good person?

I have never seen such a shameless person!

"Ahem, Sister Ye Cang, could there be some misunderstanding?"

After seeing the person's face clearly, Kakashi coughed dryly.

Even though I haven't seen him for a few years, his appearance hasn't changed much and he can be recognized at a glance.

this......

It's really hard to "repair"!

The figure half-crouching on the windowsill had a hedgehog-like head of frizzy white hair that was the most eye-catching feature of his body.

"Lord Jiraiya." Kakashi's expression became serious.

Thanks to his father, 'Konoha White Fang' Sakumo, he had dealings with many famous families in Konoha since he was young.

The famous 'Three Ninjas' are no exception.

The person in front of him is none other than the one who is known as the 'Legendary Three Ninjas' along with Orochimaru and Tsunade. Of course, he is also the teacher of the Fourth Hokage Minato...

In name, he is still my grandmaster!

Even though his seniority in Konoha is similar to that of his father, he is still a senior.

"Ahahaha, it's been a while since we last met, Kakashi! You still look so listless!"

These iconic dead fish eyes really look lifeless.

Before he could reply, Kakashi felt his shoulders sink and a large hand slapped him hard.

"But..."

Jiraiya smirked, looked in another direction with a playful look, and said in a low voice:

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never knew you were so capable!"

how to say......

He is worthy of being Minato’s favorite disciple!

Feeling the gazes looking at him again and again, Ye Cang couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling and he subconsciously took a small step back.

This squinting look is really...

"Ahem, Master Jiraiya, you misunderstood."

"Oh? It seems that there is not enough time to develop yet?" Jiraiya's eyes suddenly flashed with a thoughtful look.

"No, that's, uh..."

My brain suddenly went into a state of shutdown.

Just as he was about to explain, Kakashi suddenly realized that some things were extremely difficult to explain!

"Don't worry, don't worry, I understand..." Jiraiya smiled knowingly and patted his shoulder.

"In this case, it seems that you really need this, Kakashi!"

A palm-sized book was suddenly stuffed into my hand.

The plain texture of the book cover feels quite solid when held.

"This is......"

"This is my new work that I wrote with great effort! It can be said that this is an epic masterpiece tailor-made for men like you!"

ha?

I wasn't scared by this intimidating name.

Seeing the inexplicable excitement on Jiraiya's face, Kakashi suddenly reacted.

Yes.

Minato-sensei seemed to have mentioned it.

Lord Jiraiya is actually a somewhat famous novelist!

At least this is highly recognized by Minato-sensei.

What would a novel written by one of the famous Three Ninjas of Konoha be like?

Kakashi suddenly felt interested.

"But... now is not the time for you to read this book.

"If I remember correctly, you still have about a month to go before you become an adult, Kakashi," Jiraiya said seriously.

This book is for adults only!

"Probably... maybe." Kakashi was confused.

I really don’t have any idea about this, I just remember it was probably in autumn.

Ye Cang on the side widened his eyes.

Strictly speaking, there is only a little over a month left!

But it is worth noting.

This old pervert actually knows Kakashi’s birthday?

I had some doubts about the name 'Jiraiya', but now I had to dispel all my doubts.

This lecherous old scoundrel...

It really is Jiraiya, one of the so-called 'Three Ninjas'!

......

The night is getting darker.

The secluded and dilapidated cottage, the starry night and the gradually noisy wind all create a bleak atmosphere.

On the roof lay an old man and a young man, doing nothing.

"That book... hehe! It can be considered as a gift I prepared for you as a coming-of-age present. I promised that you can only open it after you become an adult."

"I understand."

Kakashi replied helplessly.

I didn't care about Jiraiya's repeated warnings.

At most, it's just a book.

What difference would it make if it was one or two months earlier or later?

"Master Jiraiya, that 'old pervert who peeked into the women's bathing area'..."

Kakashi hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't resist the desire to gossip.

Logically speaking, Sister Ye Cang is not someone who would joke about such things, let alone without knowing the other person's identity.

In this way, the credibility is invincible!

This kind of thing...

It’s hard not to care!

"Ahem, collecting materials, it's collecting materials!"

Jiraiya explained seriously: "Even experienced writers will inevitably hit a bottleneck when writing, and at this time they always need to draw inspiration from life!

"I have read a lot of related literature for this book, including but not limited to "One Hundred Tips on Dating" and "How to Get Rid of a Virgin" and so on! For such a good book, you have to stay in a quiet place and read it carefully by yourself..."

So you admit it?

Kakashi stared at the other person's meaningful eyes, unmoved at all.

If it were Sister Ye Cang, she would probably be fooled.

Kakashi couldn't help but complain: "Does Master Jiraiya often 'collect materials' like this?"

I understand the reason.

But what kind of inspiration needs to peek into the women's bathing area...

"Ahaha! Sometimes! Just sometimes!"

Seeing the doubtful look in Kakashi's eyes, Jiraiya changed the subject.

“By the way, it’s been a while since I returned to Konoha.

"I was planning to leave in the next two days, but I happened to hear about you, so I decided to come over to take a look and say goodbye..."

Kakashi put aside his joking thoughts and frowned slightly.

The situation in Konoha is not good now, especially after seeing Danzo's attitude.

The elderly third generation alone may not be able to keep the situation under control.

"Lord Jiraiya, are you still planning on traveling?" Kakashi's voice sank.

If you could be in Konoha at that time, maybe Minato-sensei wouldn't have to...

"Kakashi, there are some things that must be done by me." Jiraiya sighed.

"Besides, writing a book is also a very important part. Minato wrote to me and said that he must let you read my work!"

Minato Sensei...

"I must make you my loyal reader."

Kakashi forced a smile and said nothing.

"To be honest, seeing you now, I feel relieved. Hey! At a time like this, it would be nice to have some wine!——"

Wine and song, life geometry?

Jiraiya looked up at the night sky, stretched out his hand, and caught a full moon in his palm.

It seems that the change of generations is only a matter of time!

"Sorry, I don't drink much, so there's nothing good at home..."

Before he finished speaking, two dark shadows suddenly appeared from below.

"This is what Lady Tsunade left for me, but I'm not interested in it." A muffled voice came from inside the room.

Kakashi grabbed it quickly.

It's wine...

"That's really good, haha." Jiraiya laughed loudly.

Kakashi glanced at the wine flask that also fell into the other's hand.

You haven't even drunk yet...

"Ahem, but I still feel like something is missing."

Jiraiya stroked his chin and looked towards Kakashi.

"For example, a woman who is full of energy and has a very plump figure..."

"Bang! ——"

A heavy wine jug broke through the rubble on the roof and came straight up.

"You wish, old pervert!"
