Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

For Konoha, the battle of Kumogakure Kumoraikyo gave birth to two heroes.

A member of the Hyuga clan named Hyuga Hizashi, who had the Byakugan, was buried in the Konoha Ninja Cemetery, and his name was engraved on the Konoha Memorial Monument.

The other will continue to shine in the ninja world under the name of Sharingan Kakashi.

......

Faced with the 'hot' 'Hero of Konoha'.

Hinata Hiashi did not act like an elder, but showed enough courtesy.

Especially after Kakashi handed over a sealing scroll...

Even the Hokage has no right to deal with those sealed inside, so the most appropriate thing to do is to send them back to the Hyuga clan.

Because that was the body of Hyuga Hizashi.

Kakashi is very perceptive in observing people's words and expressions.

It can be seen that the two brothers who belong to the main family and the branch family are not as distant as expected...

The genuine joy and gratitude on that face was not mixed with any possibility of falsehood.

This is really rare for the Hyuga clan leader, who is always known to have a serious face.

But the more Kakashi felt this sincerity, the more at a loss he felt.

He has an almost twisted mentality, wanting to put all the blame on himself.

But Kakashi himself was not sure whether the answer he was looking for was to hold someone accountable or to exonerate himself.

If only it had been earlier...

If it had been done earlier, if it had been noticed in advance, would the one brought back to Konoha now be the safe and sound Hinata Hizashi?

My brain is searching for this possibility uncontrollably.

Hizashi-senpai was a hero for standing up for the village, but dying as a hero was definitely not what he wanted to see.

Heroes are willing to sacrifice, but they do not have the obligation to sacrifice.

if......

It's a pity no.

In order to avoid the possibility of Baiyan falling into the hands of the enemy, he chose to commit suicide on the way.

This is the result that Kakashi cannot change no matter how hard he tries when he goes to Kumogakure.

Even though I had the chance to stop him when they met, he had sealed my acupuncture points with his own hands at that time...

The only possibility does not actually exist.

Kakashi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he thought of this.

It was pointless to lament over something that he could not do anything about. Kakashi now fully understood this.

As long as you accept that 'there is nothing you can do about it', 'letting go' will become much easier.

But is this regrettable development inevitable?

It's like a poorly written script by a low-level writer, and every word is filled with malice towards the world...

"Kakashi?"

Kakashi came back to his senses and saw the other person's concerned look.

It would be strange if such obvious distraction went unnoticed.

"Senior Rizu, I have an unwelcome request."

......

The Hyuga clan, in the exclusive main house of the clan.

The girl sat upright with a thick cloth wrapped in front of her eyes, completely blocking her vision.

Senbon Kumite is a necessary training element for the Hyuga clan.

As the eldest daughter of the main family, Hyuga Hinata is well aware of the responsibilities on her shoulders, and has been practicing this for some time.

Continuous hard training and the long-term stress on the whites of the eyes have resulted in eye diseases, and it will take a long time to recover vision.

Of course, there is an element of haste in this...

Hyuga Hinata tentatively reached out her hand towards the table.

After groping around for a while, he suddenly touched the cup where it shouldn't be.

That was the place that had been 'searched' just now.

The porcelain bowl may feel cool, but when held in the palm of your hand, it can make you feel warm.

"Brother Neji?"

Whenever such a coincidence happened, the first thing Hinata Hyuga thought of was the "teacher" who was so strict that he could almost be called abusive.

In this dark time, she had a premonition.

There must be someone hiding in an invisible place, silently protecting me, and that person...

The voice echoed in the room, but received no response.

The setting sun stretched the two shadows into the shapes of adults.

Outside the room, Kakashi watched the scene quietly.

Until the boy turned his gaze towards him.

Hinata Neji.
