Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

"You...when did you come back?!"

"Sister Ye Cang, I..."

Kakashi was speechless for a moment.

If I remember correctly...

I should have said hello!

You look like you know nothing.

It makes me so embarrassed!

Looking at Ye Cang's pretty face, which was red and spreading to the pink color of her neck.

Kakashi opened his mouth, but somehow the urge to argue was inexplicably suppressed.

"I just got back, um, not long ago..."

Suddenly I remembered the wild cats on the roadside in Konoha. They seemed to hunch over when they were scared, as if they were ready to fight back at any time.

But passers-by will only think it is cute...

Just like the feeling in my hand now, even though I can clearly feel that the other person is tense and even trembling slightly, my first instinct is still to be soft...

Kakashi came to his senses and quickly pulled back his hand that was pressed on the other person's waist!

At the same time, Ye Cang grabbed the quilt beside him and held it in his arms.

She covered her body and half of her face, leaving only a pair of sparkling eyes.

There was an expression of disbelief in them!

This guy......

What on earth were you planning to do just now?

If I hadn't woken up suddenly, could he...

Kakashi!

I didn’t expect...you to be like this!

Seeing this look, Kakashi felt inexplicably depressed.

"Um, Sister Ye Cang, you may have misunderstood something..."

"Kakashi!"

Ye Cang, who was hiding behind the quilt, glared!

"Next time you come back, at least say a word. You suddenly showed up like this...

“It’s really scary!”

Stretching lazily...

Suddenly, something was pulling at my clothes around my waist!

Do you know how scary that is?

Such a creepy feeling!

She suddenly felt a start and woke up completely!

terrible!

and......

Do you know how uncomfortable it is to be interrupted while stretching?

"good......

"I understand Sister Ye Cang. I will follow your instructions on my question!"

Noticing the resentful look in his eyes, Kakashi honestly "bowed his head and admitted his mistake".

There is no point in making excuses......

I'm afraid that no matter what you say, it won't be as effective as openly admitting your mistakes.

Of course the main reason is that I really scared people!

Just based on the trembling he felt earlier, it was possible to make the usually calm and composed Ye Cang embarrassed in an instant. One can imagine how frightened he was...

"By the way, Sister Ye Cang, I brought back the antidote serum made by Senior Chiyo."

Kakashi hurriedly changed the subject and took out a translucent test tube.

This is the result of being 'beaten' just now!

"Kakashi...

"Grandma Chiyo, what on earth did she ask you to do?"

Glancing at the potion in the other person's hand, a trace of worry flashed across Ye Cang's brows.

Shouldn't...

What a weird thing, huh?

Grandma Chiyo loves to make things difficult for people!

"Ha! Actually it's nothing, just taking care of the kids..."

Although I know that 'taking care of the children' is just a cover, on the surface, there is nothing wrong with this answer.

As for the matter of sparring with Senior Chiyo, once it was brought up, seeing as how they started fighting on their first meeting, anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was more to it than meets the eye.

Ye Cang is naturally not stupid.

Kakashi thought it would be better to skip this matter to avoid unnecessary complications...

"With children?"

"Yes, it seems to be the child of Master Kazekage..."

Although Chiyo didn't say this explicitly, Kakashi didn't ask specifically.

But later I learned about it by chance from Juan.

Would he expose himself to the young child of Fengying without any precautions...

This kind of trust cannot be achieved by just a piece of paper.

Something else?

"Temari and Kankuro?"

Ye Cang's heart moved and he frowned unconsciously.

Those two kids...

Although they were still small in stature when he left Sunagakure, he had the impression that they were quite well-behaved.

You don't need anyone to take care of you, right?

"Yeah, there's also a kid named Gaara."

It was during the 'roll call' that Kakashi remembered.

There was also a child lying in a crib who had almost no presence for most of the day.

The one-tailed beast Shukaku was sealed in that child!

Seeing Ye Cang's slightly gloomy expression, Kakashi calmly assembled the test tube in his hand.

I love Luo...

This name has a very profound meaning...

"Sister Ye Cang, please turn around first."

Ye Cang didn't understand what was going on, but when he looked up and saw a needle tip emitting a sharp light, he immediately understood.

"oh......"

Quite considerate!

It's like he's trying to calm a child down for fear of being seen.

and many more!

child?

It was like a cold breeze suddenly blew behind me, bringing a slight chill.

"Kaka...Kakashi! What are you doing!?"

"inject."

Concise and concise!

Ye Cang suddenly felt dizzy and hurriedly covered his hands behind his back.

"But I'm not a child! This shouldn't be the place..."

"Senior Chiyo told me to do this. He said that this is the best way to achieve the best therapeutic effect."

Kakashi pulled the thin clothes with his left hand, shook the needle in his right hand, and spoke softly.

This is exactly what the other party told me when I got the reagent.

Although it doesn't sound logical, Kakashi doesn't dare to be careless when it comes to matters concerning his life.

Since it's a request from a medical ninja, there shouldn't be any problem!

Looking at the other person's serious expression, Ye Cang's heart sank.

Doesn’t look fake!

Kakashi is a stubborn guy and he wouldn't have any weird little ideas. After spending such a long time together, Ye Cang can be sure of this.

not to mention.

Based on her understanding of Grandma Chiyo, she could really make such a joke!

But this is too much!

"Don't! Kakashi..."

"Don't move, Sister Ye Cang, otherwise you will get a scar if you are not careful." Kakashi said 'threateningly'.

Ye Cang's eyes froze.

It will leave scars...

This is really not good!

"Then stop dragging it down!"

Ye Cang cried out helplessly.

This is very dangerous!

If you delay any further...

But it’s almost the end!

"Sister Ye Cang, you have to take your hands away, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do it."

"it is good......"

Ye Cang gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and withdrew his hand in shame.

This stubborn guy!

If I couldn't move now...

Once the poison is neutralized, I will teach you a lesson!

——Even though I’m not sure I can win.

The waiting time was extremely torturous.

Especially the hand pressing on it...

I always feel like I can't settle down for a moment!

Chiyo is still...

As always, I like playing tricks on people!

"All right!"

Kakashi said as he glanced at her more, then considerately helped to straighten her clothes.

He nodded silently.

Um......

Very white and soft!

--＜Learn puppetry?＞-------------------

There were two beds in the room. Kakashi was lying on the other bed with his head supported by his hands.

He stared at the ceiling in a daze, recalling the battle just now in his mind.

"Chiyo-senpai, she is a powerful puppeteer, right?"

Kakashi suddenly turned his head and looked at the girl sitting at the desk.

Noticing this gaze, Ye Cang, who should have been eating heartily, suddenly became a little reserved and started chewing slowly in small bites...

"Well, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

Ye Cang swallowed the food in his mouth with great effort, and then said leisurely:

“Granny Chiyo is not only a powerful puppeteer, but also a ninja who is quite good at physical skills, medical ninjutsu, and sealing techniques.

"During the Second Ninja World War, she fought against Hanzo, who was known as the demigod of the Hidden Rain Village, many times. The two of them were mortal enemies..."

As he was speaking, Ye Cang suddenly looked stunned.

With her sharp mind, it was hard for her not to notice something.

"Kakashi! You fought with Granny Chiyo, right?"

If it weren't necessary, the other party shouldn't emphasize Grandma Chiyo's identity as a puppeteer, and they might not even know this.

The fact that she suddenly brought this up could only mean that when Grandma Chiyo gave him the medicine, she might not have been doing it as a medical ninja...

A puppeteer!

Kakashi raised his eyebrows, then smiled a little.

really.

Those who can become outstanding ninjas are definitely not simple-minded people.

Don't be fooled by this silly appearance!

Seeing Kakashi nod, Ye Cang's eyes lit up and he suddenly became interested.

If I had known about this battle in advance, I might have been a little worried. After all, Grandma Chiyo's strength was truly unfathomable and I couldn't estimate it accurately, and the two of them had a grudge against each other.

But looking at him like this, now that he appears in front of me safe and sound...

Even when he comes back, he is still in the mood to take advantage of me!

Ye Cang curled his lips and asked softly:

"Kakashi, I want to know...

"How many puppets did Granny Chiyo use to deal with you?"

With Chiyo's Chikamatsu Ten, any puppet controlled by them can perform at the level of a jonin.

Especially since puppets are not afraid of death and their materials are strong enough, they have more room for operation than ninjas, and can be used in a rogue style of fighting with injuries for injuries.

And because they were all created by the same person, the coordination between them was seamless and without any gaps.

Ye Cang has a deep understanding of how difficult it is to deal with Grandma Chiyo's puppets!

Even with all his efforts, he could only barely hold out against the three puppets, and that was when Grandma Chiyo might have held back.

In fact, I was usually forced to not even have the chance to control the Burning Escape...

"Five objects."

Kakashi stared at the ceiling in silence, placing one hand in front of him.

"Five... five?

"Hey! This is... this is an unexpectedly good result..."

Ye Cang reached out his hand tremblingly, grabbed a glass of water on the table and poured it into his mouth.

Five puppets!

More than myself...

In fact, the three puppets are a big hurdle.

Among Granny Chiyo's puppets, there are three extremely special ones that can activate a combined skill called 'Three Treasures Absorption'.

Once you fall into the range of this sealing technique, you will definitely be defeated.

So when fighting, I had to bite the bullet and stick to one of the puppets, but this would easily lead to being surrounded and beaten...

Therefore, the best result that can be achieved is to maintain a stalemate with the three puppets.

"What about you? Sister Ye Cang?"

“Um…that.

"Four, but I can't beat you!"

Ye Cang pursed his lips and said without blushing or beating his heart.

"Sister Ye Cang is too modest."

It's not like her to say frankly "I can't compare to you".

Kakashi had a hunch that the other party was lying.

"No...nothing like that! I was just lucky and was able to barely stop four of them."

Looking at Kakashi who was lying on the side with a calm expression, Ye Cang gritted his teeth secretly.

what happened......

Feeling humiliated!

I only lied about one thing because I was afraid it would be exposed by the other party. Why do you really think I am more than this level...

But how can this guy block five attacks?

This requires that when facing the "Three Treasures Absorption", there is still enough energy to launch an attack, which will allow Grandma Chiyo to summon two more puppets.

Ye Cang didn't dare to think about it.

What gives you the right?

"Senior Chiyo, how many puppets can she control at the same time?"

Kakashi asked, frowning.

Through the fight, it is not difficult to see that the opponent still has some strength left.

This strongest puppeteer is much stronger than he imagined.

Perhaps he will be the strongest opponent I have ever faced!

"What Chiyo-chan has mastered is Monzaemon-san's masterpiece, the White Secret Technique - Chikamatsu Juninshu, which is able to manipulate 'ten fingers' worth of puppets at the same time. It is said that when she was young, Chiyo-chan used this to capture a castle!

"Kakashi, you don't need to be too depressed. Being able to fight against five puppets by yourself, well... you are already great!"

Ye Cang held his forehead and sighed, then glanced sideways at Kakashi who seemed to be unhappy, and a faint sadness surged in his heart.

I just lowered my head and went to eat.

Please comfort me too...

"Sister Ye Cang, do you know puppetry?"

"Won't!

"Learning puppetry also requires talent. I'm stupid and can't learn it!"

Ye Cang groaned and spoke without turning his head, and suddenly his expression changed.

"Kakashi, you don't want to learn puppetry, do you?!"

......

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

I was originally planning to write about Bonfuku-san (the first One-Tail Jinchuriki), and the plot was all planned out, so that after his death, Shukaku would be sealed into the body of young Gaara, but later I found out... in the original work, Gaara was already a One-Tail Jinchuriki from the womb! (Is this outrageous?!

Therefore, if it was changed like this, maybe Karula wouldn't have died in childbirth, Rasa wouldn't have been "depressed", Kakashi would have been able to meet and leave immediately, and there wouldn't have been any unnecessary plot.

So I had to temporarily abandon this idea.

The new skills will probably be in the next few chapters. I have to think about how to write Shukaku for a while...
