That wasn't the first time Minato Namikaze had seen her.

The girl who seemed to be about the same age as him always followed Konoha's hero, she was small and soft, and although she always looked expressionless, she would not be difficult to get close to.

Sometimes when she stood there waiting for Sakumo Hatake to go shopping, the birds almost regarded her as a shelter and competed for her hairy head.

Accidentally, the bird's beak caught her dumb hair.

However, she just stood there quietly, occasionally raising her hand to poke the soft belly of the birds and scratching their feathers until Hatake Sakumo came back.

Girls are special beings.

Not a ninja, even if he got the forehead protection later, he rarely sent out missions.But she was very powerful like that, and was called a "beast" by other villages.

Even though his body was covered in other people's blood, his eyes were clean and beautiful.

If you want to describe it... Those bloody red eyes are a different color from Kushina's hair, but they are equally stunning.

Namikaze Minato felt that those who called her a "beast" were too confused. How could they call such a girl a beast?

At least you have to choose a softer name.

Um......

How about "██████████"?

As a result, when I told Jiu Xinnai, the complaints were long and strange, but I was blocked.

The boy could only scratch his head and smile.

Originally, he thought that the girl and Hatake Sakumo walking together in the village would become a daily routine, but he didn't expect such a warm daily life to come to an abrupt end.

The figure of the silver-haired man disappeared.

People in the village talked a lot, without hiding their disgust.The girl walked on the street as usual, went to the same store to buy vegetables, and the same store to buy sauces, but even lost some things and was driven out of the store.

She stood blankly at the door of the shop, and Minato Namakaze stared at her blankly with a cloth bag not far away.She noticed that she looked back, and the boy didn't know how to pretend to look away.

Seeing the girl's eyes, he felt as if his heart had been stabbed.

She didn't seem to know anything, she didn't know why they were talking about Sakumo Hatake, she didn't know they were talking bad about him, she didn't know why she was kicked out, there was only confusion in her clear eyes.

But Namikaze Minato just felt that she knew everything.

Kakashi was also excluded... When the little genius walked out of school, no one picked him up, or there was, the girl with white hair would go every day, but she was holding out her hand When he was photographed.

after that--

Mr. Hero is dead.

Namikaze Minato remembered that he had been on a mission with that man before the accident happened.None of them expected this to happen then.

"That man betrayed the village".

They say so.

But Namikaze Minato didn't believe it.

Then, he saw the child at the memorial monument.

The girl called Jiuye seemed to have something persistent, and would go to the memorial tablet every day.In addition to the countless short graves, the comfort monument is the most eye-catching.The big black stone is engraved with the names of countless ninjas, they are all heroes.

But among these heroes, there is no "Sakumo Hatake".

She was always watching there, and even if she found him peeking beside her, she wouldn't say much, just glanced quietly, and then turned her gaze back to the memorial monument.

Namikaze Minato soon realized that Hatake Sakumo's weight in her heart was heavy.

Or he had this feeling for a long time, but when she stood in front of the comfort monument, this feeling broke out.She clung tightly to that irreplaceable person, like a little beast relying on her elders.

Over the past few years, Namikaze Minato's height has grown all the way, and she has become a teenager, but she is still small.

It's not even as good as the Consolation Monument.

Namikaze Minato wanted to talk to her, but didn't know how to speak.She didn't look like someone who needed to be comforted...and probably wouldn't respond if comforted.

In the end, after telling Kushina about this idea——

A bag was knocked on the head.

"Are you an idiot?" Kushina said angrily, "If you really want to say something, tell her that you think Hatake Sakumo is a hero, wouldn't it be fine?"

- Ah, yes.

Hatake Sakumo is a hero, he undoubtedly thinks so.But people in the village don't even want to mention this man after his suicide, if he tells her that there are still people who believe in Hatake Sakumo...

Will she feel better?

When he thought about it, and almost decided to do it, she never came to comfort the monument again.

The girl wanted to disappear, and she didn't go back to the flag wood house. She was nowhere to be seen on the streets, in the Huoying Rock, in the alleys, in the cemetery... no matter where.

He was a little strange and a little worried.

After all, it was just a petite girl.

...Well, although I haven't seen her growing up.

......

......

"Shall I be Kakashi's and their guide Jonin?" Namikaze Minato pointed to his nose, "And Obito...isn't that inappropriate?"

"Didn't you propose it in the first place? Besides, you are the most suitable." Said the Third Hokage.

Namikaze Minato took over the three-person team, but Uchiha Obito and Hatake Kakashi always didn't see eye to eye. Although Nohara Rin was used as a mediator, there were still some small conflicts.

Ever since what happened to Hatake Sakumo, Kakashi has been cold and unwilling to talk to anyone who talks to him.However, Obito is more active, and he still endures awkwardness and confrontation with Obito.

That's fine.

Namikaze Minato propped up his chin with emotion.

"Kakashi, have you seen Jiuye recently?" He asked the silver-haired boy.

"..." Kakashi, who had just finished ninjutsu practice with Uchiha Obito, let go of Yuwa Zhiyin's hand, was silent for a while, "No, she hasn't come back for several years."

"......so."

Kakashi didn't seem very interested in continuing the topic.

Namikaze Minato sighed and did not continue.

"Our next task..."

God has no adjacency.

Now that the war has begun, this is an extremely dangerous task.But Kakashi is already a Jnin, and he should have the strength to act alone. If he cooperates with Obito and Lin, it should be fine.

Before that, Minato Namikaze had no idea that an accident would happen.

I didn't expect Kakashi to cry when he came back from that mission.

He originally thought that he was one step too late, and he didn't save Obito, at least he wouldn't show such an appearance, but at the next moment, he heard Kakashi sobbing and saying——

"Knife was killed by Jiuye..."

"...?!" Namikaze Minato was taken aback, "Kakashi, don't worry, take your time..."

"Kuno she... is gone..."

That genius boy, it was the first time he showed that fragile appearance.

He grabbed his jōnin vest, clenched his hands tightly, and his mask was soaked with tears and snot.He spoke intermittently, and finally burst into tears.

That line of defense was broken.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh..."

Namikaze Minato had never seen Kakashi like this.

He has always covered up his emotions under a mask and restrained himself with the ninja's law, so how could he cry like this.

But he mentions that the girl is gone.

At that time, Minato Namikaze realized that it had a different meaning from the disappearance of the past few years.

During the time she disappeared, she was always there, but she was not discovered.

And this time—

"...did you leave with the knife?"

The blond man sighed.

To her, Sakumo Hatake had a meaning different from anything else.

There is not even the possibility of loving a house and a bird.

The author has something to say:

Take care of the line.

When I was in Naruto, someone asked me how Yezai knew Minato...

The main reason is that I am not used to writing extra words at the end of each volume...
