Chapter 24
Kakashi scratched his head and said,"My father said that my strength has improved rapidly in the past few days, so he wanted to ask me who I was training with, so I told him you."
"Oh, so that's how it is."
Bai nodded and waved his hand and said,"Don't worry, I'll go home with you this afternoon, and I'll ask you what your father wants to talk to me about."
"I don't know about that either."
Kakashi blushed slightly, he was embarrassed that Kakashi didn't know the answers to all the questions he asked.
Bai shook his head helplessly and didn't ask Kakashi any more questions. It was strange that Kakashi, a 5-year-old kid, could know what adults were thinking. He could have his current thinking thanks to his mature values that he had developed over the past decade.
Thinking of this, Bai sat back in his seat, and just as he sat down, he seemed to have thought of something and stood up immediately with an ugly expression.
Kakashi looked at Uesugi Bai's startled movements and asked in confusion,"Bai, do you have anything else to say?""
""No".
Bai shook his head and sat down with a serious expression. He didn't care too much about it before, but after Kakashi's interruption, he remembered that Hatake Sakumo seemed to have committed suicide in the 42nd year of Konoha. He remembered that in the original anime of Naruto, his death was due to being ostracized by the villagers due to a mission. These days when he was training on the street, he didn't hear any gossip, it seems that the incident has not happened yet.
But now Kakashi has just turned 5 years old, and it may not be long before his father Hatake Sakumo gets into trouble. Thinking of this, Bai felt a little entangled.
He didn't know whether he should save people or not. He didn't know whether he would be hated by that guy after disrupting Danzo's plan.
Bai fell into silence for a while, and he spent the whole afternoon in a tangled mood. Just after school in the afternoon, as soon as the teacher left the classroom, all the students swarmed out of the classroom.
Uesugi Bai followed Kakashi step by step towards his home. Kakashi looked at Uesugi Bai with a serious expression and asked puzzledly
"Bai, are you worried that my father is difficult to get along with? Don't worry, my father is a very good person, he won't make things difficult for you, especially since he asked me to invite you to his house."
"No, I was thinking about something else."
Bai shook his head, looked at the exam which was still very simple, sighed helplessly and urged:"Let's go quickly, I have a practice plan tonight."
""Okay".
Kakashi nodded and quickened his pace back to his home. Soon the two of them arrived at the spacious mansion on the edge of Konoha.
As a samurai family passed down from the Warring States Period, the Hatake family had no obstacles, but the facade was naturally not small. Even if there were only two people in the family, Hatake Kakashi and Konoha White Fang, the place where they lived could be regarded as a small clan land.
However, unlike other large families, the Hatake family did not have a servant. Kakashi pushed the door open without saying a word and walked into the living room with Bai.
At this time, there was a man kneeling in front of the coffee table in the living room, with a straight back, silver-white hair, black pupils and a well-proportioned figure.
This man has a gentle temperament, but sitting there can make people feel awe-inspiring without anger. Bai glanced at this strong man called Konoha White Fang, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that a strong man is a strong man. Just sitting there, his temperament is very extraordinary.
He didn't feel such a strong sense of threat from Tsunade at all, and it was no wonder that she was a man who could become Danzo's confidant.
"Father"
""Master White Fang."
Kakashi and Bai bowed slightly to greet him at the same time. Hatake Sakumo smiled and stroked the short blade in his hand and said
"You guys do it"
""This must be Uesugi Shiro, a very pretty girl."
A hint of surprise flashed in Hatake Sakumo's eyes. The girl in front of him was so beautiful that it was a little unfair. Even a man with a hard mind like him was temporarily relieved.
When Shiro heard what Hatake Sakumo said, his face turned slightly red. The rosy and tender face made people want to take a bite.
""Master White Fang, I am a boy."
Bai said helplessly. Even the legendary Konoha White Fang was stunned for a moment. When he reacted, he apologized with a little embarrassment:"I'm very sorry, Mr. Bai, you are such a cute boy."
"Thank you for taking care of Kakashi these days. Kakashi's children rarely have friends, and you are his first real good friend."
Uesugi Bai was a little surprised to hear this, but when he looked at Kakashi with a slightly red face beside him, he understood. It is true that Kakashi is still young now. When he was not in school, he should have been practicing at home.
His father would often go on missions, causing him to stay in the family all the time and never go out to make friends. When he went to school, he was the only one who had the best relationship with Kakashi.
As a father, what do you think? For the sake of his son's physical and mental health, it is normal to make an appointment with his son's only friend.
By the way, Watermelon Skin Might Guy is still an inconspicuous and weak ninja, and has not yet caught Kakashi's attention.
Bai smiled, stroked the hair hanging by his ears and said,"I have also learned a lot of useful combat skills and knowledge from Kakashi."
"Haha, Bai, don't be modest. If it weren't for your sparring partner Kakashi, he would definitely not have improved so quickly. Now his strength is several times stronger than it was three months ago. Sometimes it is important for everyone to have an opponent of equal strength to push you to improve."
Hatake Sakumo said with a smile on his face. Just as Bai was about to be polite, Hatake Sakumo stood up and said,"Bai, you can chat with Kakashi first. As the host, how can we not let you have a meal when we invite you to our home as a guest?"
After saying that, Hatake Sakumo stood up and went directly to the kitchen to fetch food. After a while, all kinds of delicious food were brought out, which had been kept warm in some way. Among them were sashimi, sushi, noodles, white radish stew, and various other classic Japanese home-cooked dishes. It looked like one would not know what to eat at first glance.
When Uesugi Haku traveled to this world, he was just a child, and naturally had never eaten with other people. The meals he cooked at home were all Chinese home-cooked dishes.
He was really not used to the food of the Japanese, but on the surface, he remained calm and waited for the rest of the food with a look of anticipation.
After a while, Hatake Sakumo brought all the food that had been prepared long ago to the table, and in front of the two children, he directly picked up the chopsticks and clasped his hands together.
"I'm gonna start now"
"I'm starting to eat too".
Kakashi also picked up his chopsticks and made the same prayer gesture, and Bai quickly did the same gesture. Soon, the three of them started to eat happily. During this process, no one spoke, only the sound of chopsticks hitting the porcelain bowl.
Bai ate the rice in the bowl and looked at the two men who were eating very methodically. He felt a little bored. The relationship between father and son in Japan was really strange. It felt like a superior and a subordinate, and it was rare to feel the warmth of a family.
He didn't have this feeling before, but when he encountered this situation, he remembered that it seemed that Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke came here in this way.
This way of getting along seems to be one of the main reasons why many people in the Naruto world don't understand the way their fathers do.
