Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

"As I said just now, it's better not to judge a person by appearance."

Uchiha.

On a street corner far away from Konoha, two figures were crawling on the ground and wailing.

"You thought I would be patient, so you became aggressive and started to talk nonsense... It's because you misjudged your own ability. So now you have no choice but to be beaten to the ground."

The slow and calm tone echoed in the alley.

Itachi glanced coldly at the two people in front of him, and suddenly his expression changed, and he turned his head to look at the street to the side.

"Itachi, where are you going!?"

"Task."

......

Nanhe River.

This is a river on the border of the Uchiha territory of Konoha.

Two figures slowly walked to the edge of the cliff.

According to Itachi, Shisui is right here...

Kakashi remained silent with a sullen expression.

After chatting with Jiraiya for most of the night, I finally dragged my sleepy body to sleep and unsurprisingly overslept again.

However, when he woke up, he naturally thought of Shisui.

This is something that needs to be properly settled before I set off for Yunyin.

Not to mention the physical concerns, even if it is just for the prior promise, you should come up and say hello.

Considering the suddenness of the incident, Kakashi was prepared to miss a sparring match.

I just didn't expect to be kept waiting...

Kakashi lowered his eyes and looked at the deep mountain stream and the turbulent torrent at the bottom.

Is this his choice?

Having lost Kotoamatsukami, he used his own life to stop his people...

Also staring at the mountain stream in silence, Itachi suddenly asked:

"Senior Kakashi, what does that Sharingan mean to you?"

This has always been a question.

This doubt had been buried in my heart since I first saw Kakashi fighting Shisui with this Sharingan.

But at this time, it finally became an answer that urgently needed to be verified...

"This is a gift from a close friend, Itachi. It reminds me not to forget important things."

Surprised, Kakashi said slowly, raising his hand to touch his left eye.

He could sense that the other party was hiding something from him, but he had a hunch that it was definitely not about Shisui's cause of death.

"A request from a close friend..."

Itachi came back to his senses and asked, "Is Kakashi-senpai leaving the village again?"

"Ah."

Kakashi nodded slightly.

"I have a mission to accomplish. I have no choice."

Not only is it a last resort, but time is also extremely tight.

With Master Jiraiya leaving, it's time for me to set off as well...

"elder brother!"

Suddenly, a childish voice called out from behind.

When he turned around, he happened to see the boy jumping on Itachi.

"Sasuke, why are you......"

"Huh? Aren't we with Shisui-nii today?"

Looking at the boy, Kakashi gave him a slightly stiff smile in return.

Uchiha Sasuke is Itachi's younger brother.

"Shisui has to go on a very important mission, and I'm afraid he won't be back for a long time."

Sasuke's eyes lit up: "Is that so! Then brother can teach me how to practice the Great Fireball Technique!

"Father seems not very satisfied with the fireball I cast..."

"Sasuke, if you have any questions about learning ninjutsu, it would be better to ask Kakashi-senpai." Itachi smiled and poked him on the forehead.

"Kakashi-senpai?"

Following his gaze, Sasuke looked to his side.

"Sasuke has a better talent in lightning escape. I think if there is a chance in the future, it would be more appropriate for Kakashi-senpai to teach him."

These words were naturally directed at Kakashi.

Known as 'Sharingan Kakashi', he is a genius ninja who is proficient in the five ninjutsu.

But what he was truly proud of was undoubtedly his superb lightning technique.

"Me?"

Kakashi looked stunned and pointed at himself.

Want to teach students yourself?

"No, I'm afraid not..."

"Who knows?" Itachi said meaningfully.

......

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

The Hatake family home, an old wooden house.

"I am back."

Little Kakashi and the cabin

After learning the news about Shisui, my heart, which had rarely relaxed after chatting with Jiraiya, became heavy again.

But there is a more fatal problem hidden behind this. If Konoha is not careful, it will fall into an irreparable situation...

"Kakashi? Come on, come on! Come in and sit down!"

Perhaps because of the noise, as soon as I stepped into the entrance hall, I heard an urgent urging voice from inside the room, which seemed to sound a little excited.

Along with a slightly pungent fragrance, there seemed to be a mixture of various aromas.

Kakashi was suddenly dazed.

"What's wrong with you? Come in, come in!"

After not getting a response for a long time, Ye Cang frowned and poked his head out of the kitchen.

Looking at Kakashi who was standing there in a daze, there seemed to be something strange in his eyes.

"Uh no, I didn't..."

Suddenly, he felt a force on his hand, and Kakashi's body swayed. He was dragged to sit at the dining table in a daze.

There are several hot meals on the table...

"Looks good, doesn't it?"

Kakashi came back to his senses and nodded blankly.

"What's wrong? You haven't been entertained for a long time, so you're not used to it?"

Ye Cang glanced at him playfully, and without giving him a chance to reply, he turned around and walked away.

"I've been preparing for a while, but now I'm just one dish short of my signature dish..."

Ye Cang was right about one thing.

It is indeed difficult to get used to being entertained by others in my own home.

When you are used to taking care of daily chores by yourself, it always seems a little unreal when someone suddenly comes to take over.

On the stove was a cookbook that he had already read through to pieces. Ye Cang, wearing a lavender apron, was busy working, glancing at it from time to time.

No wonder I didn't see him when I woke up...

So he went to the market early in the morning?

But soon Kakashi noticed something strange.

The stove is off!

The fire was caused by...

The bottom of the pot is covered with a thin red film.

"Sister Ye Cang, you, you are... using Scorch Release to cook?!"
