Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

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

Kakashi was stunned for a moment.

It's not that it's impossible, but using a rare bloodline limit to cook...

It’s a bit of a luxury!

"Hmm? Is it not possible?" Ye Cang raised his eyebrows slightly, and then explained seriously:

"I can control the temperature of the Burning Escape more precisely, and it can penetrate into the ingredients without the problem of uneven heat."

Evenly distributing and penetrating heat is really the most important thing about cooking.

Kakashi thought about it subconsciously.

In this case, it sounds like Burning Escape is quite suitable for cooking!

Just thinking of the glorious achievements of the Burning Escape, looking at the table of food in front of me, I felt an inexplicable chill...

The last dish arrived as expected.

"Dry fried river fish - Ye Cang Feng~"

Ye Cang untied the apron in front of him and threw a smug look at him.

Kakashi was suddenly helpless.

Although Burning Escape may seem like a trick, it is undeniable that it also falls into the realm of talent.

Most importantly, the taste is impeccable!

After all, when it comes to controlling the temperature, the Burning Escape that can be freely controlled is obviously more subtle, not to mention the penetration of heat. Compared with open flames, it is simply naturally superior...

According to the recipe, if the fried river fish I make is 95% of the standard, then Ye Cang Feng might be 99% of the way there!

Burning cooking......

It is indeed Sister Yecang’s style to say what should be said but not to say it.

Kakashi silently gave a thumbs up.

This is truly a gifted talent.

It's purely a gift from God!

"Are you planning on leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, without further ado."

After barely eating half full, Kakashi suddenly remembered this.

Head to Kumogakure.

This was actually something that should have been clarified the day before, but before I could even mention it to Sister Yegura, Lord Jiraiya showed up out of nowhere and pulled me up to the rooftop to chat with him for half the night.

After returning to the house, not to mention that I was so sleepy that I almost fell asleep on the roof, Sister Ye Cang had already gone to bed, so it was impossible for her to wake me up in the middle of the night. And then there was also no way I could get up early, so it was delayed until now.

As for why tomorrow...

"Not today?"

Seeing Kakashi's hesitation, Ye Cang shrugged and changed the topic: "I don't care. I can leave anytime."

Kakashi was silent for a while and then said:

"Just tomorrow."

"That's perfect. I can spare some time today..."

"What's the matter?"

Seeing that she only said half of the sentence and stopped talking, Kakashi suddenly became curious and spoke.

Ye Cang put his index finger to his lips and blinked.

"Don't ask any more questions! This is a girl's secret, I can't tell you~"

......

In the residential area of ​​Konoha.

A figure passed by among the uneven buildings.

Kakashi chose not to reveal the truth about Shisui to Ye Cang.

After all, this is Konoha's business. As people from other villages, they probably won't have too many thoughts except regret.

I have been sparring with Shisui for quite some time, but to Ye Cang it is probably just a normal thing.

Kakashi looked down.

The buildings near the center remain the same as before and were not attacked during the Nine-Tailed Fox Rebellion, and of course no reconstruction has been done.

Based on the location given by the Third Hokage, Kakashi found a house without much effort.

"This is it."

This is where Naruto lives now...

I just said goodbye to Kai not long ago, and now that I am about to leave Konoha, the place I am most worried about is this place.

Carrying the strategic weapon-level Nine-Tail, as the descendant of a hero, he has to suffer the cold eyes of his companions...

Just when Kakashi was feeling uneasy, a boy suddenly appeared in his sight.

With a cheerful smile on his face, he slammed the door and ran off in one direction.

Where is this going?

Kakashi was surprised, but without hesitation, he followed quietly behind.

......

"Grandpa, here, this is for you!"

A bonfire was burning on the rubble, with a few grilled fishes sitting on the flames.

Naruto picked a bunch and handed it to the old man with white beard beside him.

The firelight reflected on the lake, dyeing the sky a red glow.

“It looks really delicious…”

"Of course, this is the fish I caught myself!"

The two smiled at each other, and gradually the woods by the lake were filled with laughter.

"Naruto, look..."

Hearing this, little Naruto stopped what he was doing with his mouth and looked towards the horizon.

"Those stars in the sky are the same as the sun in our world. How about that? They look a lot, don't they?"

"The sun, is that the big guy that comes out during the day?" Naruto asked, tilting his head.

"Yes, this world is so vast. In front of the vast world, human existence is so insignificant, and the troubles in the hearts of such insignificant people are even more insignificant in comparison..."

The boy was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, his deep blue eyes reflecting the starry sky.

"I see. The world is really big."

"By the way, Naruto. Are you sure those mushrooms we just grilled are edible?" The old man suddenly frowned and asked solemnly.

"Whether it's poisonous or not, you have to eat it to know!"

Naruto scratched his head and laughed. After a while, he said, "Grandpa, wait here. I'll go catch two more fish!"

As he said this, he quickly got up, picked up a branch, and ran to the lake barefoot.

Naruto...

The third generation turned around and stared at the short figure of the boy by the lake.

"Third generation sir."

A figure walked out of the darkness.

It was not until they met by chance that Kakashi remembered that he should say goodbye to the Third Hokage before leaving.

"Jiraiya has already left Konoha, Kakashi, when do you plan to leave?" The Third Hokage did not turn back, but there was an indescribable dejection in his tone.

"tomorrow......"

"That's it."

The third generation straightened his expression and asked, "Which of the other two great powers on the land do you plan to go to first?"

"Yunyin."

"Is that so? I know what you are planning."

The third generation nodded slightly.

Unsurprisingly.

According to the original plan, the route from Sand Village to Iwagakure would undoubtedly be more convenient to go to Kumogakure next.

But now that we have returned to Konoha, starting from Konoha, the Iron Kingdom should be the closest to Konoha among the two targets.

After all, Kumogakure, located in the northeast corner, can be said to be the big country farthest from Konoha.

Theoretically speaking, it seems more appropriate to go to the Iron Kingdom first.

However, given the current situation, heading to Kumogakure is even more urgent...

"Eh? Brother Baimao, why are you here too?"

Naruto turned around and found a figure standing where he was.

"Hahaha! White-haired brother? That's a very descriptive name!"

The third generation was obviously stunned for a moment, then he reacted and looked at Kakashi beside him.

The third generation...

Watching the boy coming up with the branch that had forked the fresh fish.

Kakashi rubbed his forehead helplessly.

I'm talking about myself. It's really hard to laugh.

"Naruto, this white-haired brother you mentioned may become your teacher in the near future!"

"Teacher? Is that the person who has to take care of me every day?"

"No, no."

The Sandai shook his head and said, "Someone who can take care of you."
