Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

"Let's talk about it later..."

It was definitely not Kakashi's style to agree rashly.

Whether it is the living habits that affect the fighting instinct, or the fighting method that gradually affects life... no one can tell.

But for sure.

He always "plans before taking action" when encountering things, and this habit has benefited him a lot in countless life-and-death battles.

Even those insignificant and insignificant "plots" accumulated to have a decisive effect that could turn the situation around in an instant!

Of course this was just Kakashi's instinctive concern.

In fact, considering that we are facing Ye Cang at this time...

——This woman who had left him helpless many times and was almost unpredictable!

In any case, it's always right to be a little vigilant!

Especially when she has a smile on her face!

Who knows what weird request will be made in the next second...

"Zlazla—"

Kakashi lowered his eyes, shook his head and stopped thinking about it, concentrating on the work at hand.

As a basic life skill, cooking by yourself may really be worthwhile and fun.

At least it used to be.

......

"Kakashi, this is delicious, just like the ones in the store..."

"'Dry-fried river fish - Kakashi style'? It's really delicious! Kakashi, you are really amazing!"

Even if he was not convinced of the other party on a normal day, at least when it came to cooking skills, he really had to admit it!

"Is it?"

Kakashi responded calmly.

This is just the basics...

The boy wearing dark yellow goggles licked his lips, then raised his head and asked:

"Such great cooking skills... Kakashi, do you want to be a chef in the future?"

"Huh? How is that possible?"

"Hahaha! That's true!"

How could a talented ninja who became famous at a young age change his career to become a chef?

......

'Squeak—'

Kakashi came to his senses when he heard the sound of a door opening and closing nearby.

He adjusted his expression and didn't look at what Ye Cang was fiddling with.

Concentrate on pouring the finished 'work' in the pot into the dish.

The amber-colored soup, mixed with a refreshing fragrance, was poured onto the plate...

Although it has been repeated countless times, this final finishing action always brings a sense of accomplishment.

Just then, the light outside the window dimmed, and it seemed that a figure flashed by.

"Sister Ye Cang, what are you doing..."

Looking up at the familiar clothes in the other person's arms, Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"I've been eating and drinking for free these days, and I still feel a little guilty about it!"

Ye Cang smiled slightly, and as he spoke, he hung the washed clothes one by one on the clothesline.

Do you really feel sorry for it?

You can’t tell when you’re eating!

Kakashi complained in his mind.

"So..."

Ye Cang dodged and floated in mysteriously again.

If it is placed in normal times.

Kakashi might really sigh in his heart.

So thoughtful!

But if the other party obviously has something to ask for...

This move seems to have some impure motives!

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

"Actually, there's no need to do this, Sister Ye Cang..."

Kakashi waved his hand hastily.

Emergency avoidance!

"Humph! You say you don't need it, but you still keep all your clothes. I'm afraid you're just waiting for me to help you solve it!"

"No... That's absolutely not the case!"

Kakashi changed the subject.

"Ahem, Ye Cang-sister must be hungry too!"

Following the action of picking up the food, Ye Cang also turned his eyes to the plate...

It's a fish!

But it's not quite the same as I imagined...

The color is brighter and the aroma is richer.

It smells so good!

"Well, yes...I'm a little hungry."

Ye Cang's pretty face turned red, and she bit her lips and said softly:

"Kakashi, this is..."

Watching Kakashi say nothing, he brought the plate to the table without even turning his head.

Ye Cang stood there gritting his teeth in hatred.

Just know how to keep people in suspense!

Then he took a long step and took a seat first.

"Dry fried river fish, um... Kakashi style."

Kakashi frowned and thought as he introduced the name of the dish.

"Dry fried river fish?"

Ye Cang was stunned for a moment, then looked at it carefully.

Although the appearance has changed a lot, as the first time that impressed her the most, this dish gave her a lot of familiar feelings...

Both the ingredients and the cooking method are actually the same as the fish cooked at that time!

But it’s obvious that what’s in front of you is what this dish really looks like!

The only difference between the two is probably just the flavor...

Kakashi style?

In order to take my wife who is pregnant into consideration, I specially adjusted the ingredients of my specialty.

No wonder at that time...

Ye Cang pursed his lips and smiled.

It really is the 'Kakashi style'!

"Is there something wrong?" Kakashi asked suspiciously.

Is it funny?

Seeing Ye Cang with a meaningful smile on his face, he felt a little chilly.

Don't just laugh...

You look wrong like this!

"No, there's nothing wrong with it, it's delicious! I love it!"

"Sister Ye Cang, you haven't even tasted it yet..."

"You don't need to taste it, you can tell at a glance!" - Ye Cang winked playfully. From Kakashi's perspective, this is probably what he meant...

"Mmm! Kakashi! It's really delicious!"

Ye Cang picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Then he clapped his hands, opened his big eyes and looked over at me. His eyes were sparkling with starlight and filled with admiration.

"Too exaggerated..." Kakashi said helplessly with a twitch of his mouth:

"If you have anything to say, tell me."

“It’s actually really delicious…”

This was not the first time he had witnessed the other party's innate talent for acting...

Kakashi didn't want to fall for it, so he automatically ignored the muttering and just looked at her calmly.

"Ugh......"

How could anyone not listen to nice words?

He sighed softly.

"Actually, Kakashi, you know my situation... I can't even afford to eat...

"I feel a little embarrassed to have to trouble you every day like this!"

You don't look like you're embarrassed...

Kakashi was about to say it, but the other party's next words made him suddenly alert.

"Besides...and it's actually quite troublesome for me to run back and forth like this every day."

Looking at Ye Cang's tentative eyes, Kakashi suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Kakashi, how about..."

"no!"

Before Ye Cang could finish his words, Kakashi interrupted.

It's fine if you just eat and drink for free, but if you also...

No, no, this is absolutely not possible!

"Kakashi..."

Ye Cang's face turned bitter, and he stammered:

"I promise I won't cause you any trouble, and... and this will also make it convenient for me to wash two more pieces of clothes, right?"

So you come to wash clothes at this time just to...

Kakashi glared angrily.

It really was premeditated!

Fortunately, I didn’t agree to it in advance.

otherwise......

What a pit!

"Well, Kakashi..."

Ye Cang took another piece of fish with a sad face and put it in his mouth. While tasting the tender fish, he muttered, "In the whole Konoha, you are the only one who can help me!

"Well Kakashi, you just need to work hard on your cultivation every day and fight that Uchiha Shisui... I'll do the laundry!"

Kakashi stared at her without saying a word.

Theoretically, it is feasible...

Except for beating Shisui up.

After practicing on my own, I have to spare some energy to handle chores at home, which is indeed stressful.

Especially during the time when Akai and I did the "five hundred laps" every day, the clothes that were not washed in time were almost piling up into a mountain at home!

If Kakashi were to leave these chores to the freeloader Ye Cang as a "transaction", he wouldn't have any psychological burden...

After all, there should be a limit to freeloading!

But the most important point is...

"Forget it, Sister Yegura, this is still not quite..." Kakashi said earnestly.

"Oh, Kakashi, to be honest, I have nowhere to go now."

Ye Cang lowered his head, wiped his 'non-existent tears' with one hand, and sobbed softly.

Although I was unable to squeeze out tears, the sobbing movements and expressions were surprisingly realistic!

Kakashi couldn't help laughing.

Even the one who is currently in the limelight, Fuji Fuyukiie who plays Princess Fengyun, is no better in comparison, right?

"I can no longer live in Konoha's apartment. I can't afford the rent. Your sister Ye Cang will probably be kicked out in a few days!

"Kakashi, can you bear to watch me wander the streets and be bullied?"

Ye Cang raised his head slightly.

Kakashi was stunned.

This was something he had not expected.

Kakashi only knew that the other party couldn't eat, so he didn't think too much about it...

Now that I think about it, it’s only natural that I have no place to live!

But it's not the case that we can be bullied by others...

While guessing in his mind, Kakashi was surprised to find that there were tears in those watery eyes!

She looked like a weak and helpless little girl...

Dramatic!

Ye Cang once again demonstrated her innate acting talent.

But thinking about what the other party said, it is indeed a problem.

Of course, Konoha's single apartment has to be rented. It's really difficult for Ye Cang, who can't even afford to eat, to pay the rent...

This is quite a tricky situation!

If you want to place it somewhere else, you must explain its exact origins clearly.

It is obvious that Ye Cang's identity cannot be explained, otherwise when the news returns to Sand Village, more trouble will arise for no reason.

This isn't as simple as the hand-beating uncle offering to treat you to ramen.

When it comes to the principle of village safety, no one can get around it.

And as the other party said, the only person who can have a say in the entire Konoha besides himself is probably Minato Sensei.

But considering that it's hard for Minato-sensei to even go home...

Besides, it would be difficult to explain to Master Kushina.

It seems that this is really the best place to go!

Kakashi suddenly had a headache.

If it were me, I would probably do the same thing.

It can be said to be a helpless act...

Seeing that Kakashi seemed to be showing signs of relenting, Ye Cang's eyes lit up and he leaned forward and held his arm.

"Kakashi..."

The warm breath caressed his ears, and Kakashi symbolically struggled with his arms buried deep in the soft snow...

You're being... too obvious!

Kakashi looked slightly embarrassed, but the next words that Ye Cang said shocked him and he had to draw his attention.

"Kakashi, aren't you... dying to know the secret of Shisui's Flickering Technique?"
