Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

Seeing the two of them talking in whispers without paying any attention to the feelings of the parties involved, Kakashi stared at Naruto and pondered silently for a long while.

It’s not that I don’t want to.

After all, he is Minato's child.

But can I really do this kind of thing...

"Sir, I think there should be someone more suitable than me."

"Ahem, Naruto. It's getting late. You should go back and rest, right?"

Without responding to Kakashi's words, the Third Hokage turned his head and said to Naruto with a smile.

"Oh, all right! Grandpa, you should also go to bed early."

Glancing at the 'white-haired brother' on the side, Naruto instantly understood what was going on. After greeting him, he handed over the last skewer of fish that had just been grilled.

"Brother Baimao, give it to me!"

Looking at the brightly colored grilled fish in his hand and the boy waving and running away, Kakashi felt emotional.

Minato's child seems to be quite sensible...

"Kakashi, do you remember how you were assigned to Minato's class?"

"Well, it's because I often have conflicts with my seniors."

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, and although he didn't know why this matter was suddenly brought up, he quickly answered.

As a genius ninja who graduated from the Ninja School at the age of 5 as an exception, the team he was assigned to after graduation was naturally not the same class as his peers, but rather seniors who were much older than him.

At first, there was no problem getting along with each other, but Kakashi remembered that when he became a Chunin, around the age of nine, conflicts with his teammates became more and more frequent, to the point where even the Jonin who led the team couldn't do anything about him...

So he started to be transferred to other teams one after another until he met Minato's class and ran into the two people in his class.

Now that I think about it, the reason why I kept changing teams at that time was undoubtedly due to myself.

The root cause is still the obsession with rules and tasks...

"Kakashi, I'm sure you've changed a lot compared to before?" the Third Generation said slowly.

"Um...right."

Kakashi answered hesitantly, a face suddenly appearing in his mind.

“That’s why I believe that you, who have gone through this experience, will be able to guide the children in the right direction.

"Minato would be very pleased if he saw this."

Kakashi's eyes flickered and he looked in the direction where the forest path extended.

Naruto...

"Also, Uchiha Sasuke of the Uchiha clan will probably need your care when the time comes. He is exactly the same age as Naruto."

The third generation said with a smile: "This is also Itachi's idea."

“I will…

"But that will have to be after completing Minato-sensei's mission."

Kakashi reluctantly agreed.

He had gotten closer to Shisui and Itachi, and unsurprisingly, he couldn't hide anything from the shrewd old man in front of him.

But it seems that I have been tricked before I even came back!

"Hahaha, don't make that expression! I'm actually looking forward to seeing what you can do with those kids once you come in." The third generation laughed.

"I'll do my best..."

"By the way, there is another tricky thing I need to ask you for help."

The third generation changed the subject, narrowed his eyes slightly, and pulled out a dark red jade slip from his sleeve.

"This is......"

Kakashi's heart skipped a beat.

This color is the same as the one that Minato-sensei assigned me to go to Kirigakure with!

This represents a top-secret mission with a high probability of casualties!

"If you are faced with a situation that you cannot do, do not act rashly. Protect yourself first."

......

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

Kakashi was caught off guard when he suddenly received another mission before leaving.

And it's always been hidden in the sleeves...

There is reason to suspect that the Third Generation Master had planned this in advance!

After returning home, Kakashi took a nice hot bath before opening the scroll.

It was indeed a very dangerous secret mission. After seeing the content of the mission, Kakashi understood it clearly.

But at this juncture, there is indeed no better candidate than myself.

Kakashi sighed softly, relaxed, and fell back on the soft bed.

Running around all day...

Is this the life of a mature ninja?

Kakashi slowly closed his eyes.

Minato's mission, the Sandai's mission, the conflict between Konoha and Uchiha, rescuing Hyuga Hizashi, the assassination of Sasori and the Akatsuki behind him, and finally the seemingly true dream...

A series of complex information filled my mind, like a disordered spider web.

It makes people's heads hurt when they watch it.

and many more!

Kakashi opened his eyes suddenly and realized that he seemed to have missed something.

Subconsciously, I looked at the alarm clock on the wall opposite the bed.

The pointer is almost pointing to the next day...

Kakashi got up from the bed and walked to the door of another room.

"Sister Ye Cang?"

I called out tentatively and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside the room.

Kakashi didn't hesitate and opened the door.

As expected, the figure was not seen in the room.

The room was still clean and tidy, with a few pieces of clothes casually thrown on the neatly stacked bed.

This is what she wore today...

Following the impression in his mind, Kakashi couldn't help but frown.

......

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

Konoha's night market always closes early.

——Or it’s impossible to be so late.

Theoretically, few shops would be open until this time.

Especially the most popular "Lujiao Hot Spring", which is very clear about its business hours. It is an "honest store" that will close on time at the specified time.

Given Ye Cang's personality, Kakashi's first thought could only be here.

After all, it can be seen that the other party at least showed unlimited enthusiasm for taking a hot spring bath.

Since it is the last day, it is inevitable that I can't help but indulge in it...

This seems to make sense?

Thinking of this, I felt a little relieved.

So to be on the safe side, Kakashi naturally came here first.

But the result was not unexpected.

On the closed door was a sign saying "Closed", with the specific business hours listed above...

Kakashi frowned and left.

With hurried steps, he turned around and quickly rushed into another avenue.

Sure enough, the second possible place, Ichiraku Ramen, had also closed long ago.

Where else could I go?

Kakashi suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Could something really have happened?

This is in Konoha...

When it comes to time consciousness, Ye Cang definitely has it, not to mention that they had clearly agreed to leave tomorrow.

In this case, "accident" is the only reasonable explanation!

but.

Looking at the current situation, how many people in Konoha can do anything to Ye Cang?

To put it another way, who could Sister Ye Cang, who rarely shows up in Konoha, offend?

When my mind was in a state of confusion, a name suddenly appeared in my mind.

Kakashi's expression changed.

It is unacceptable for anyone to harbor ill will towards Ye Cang who has never caused any trouble.

unless......

The other party’s target is yourself!
