"We're finally here. Although the distance is shorter than the previous overseas mission, we spend more time on the road." Obito complained as he looked at the extremely tall Konoha gate in front of him.
In the past, they always traveled on the road as if they were exercising, but this time due to serious injuries they could not travel at their full speed as usual, and their speed slowed down a lot.
Kakashi looked at the gate of Konoha and felt instantly relieved.
He may not be the one who puts in the most effort on the battlefield, but he is definitely the one who consumes the most energy.
He believed that as the vice-captain, it was his responsibility to bring all the team members back safely, and he considered every action carefully, which was very stressful.
"Akagi, do you want to go home first, or go directly to the hospital with me?" Kakashi looked at Might Guy and asked after entering Konoha.
Although Mu Yue used shadow clones to escort them, the shadow clones had limited chakra. If they were used to perform medical ninjutsu on Might Guy, they would not be able to sustain themselves, so Might Guy still had to go to Konoha Hospital to recuperate.
The same thing happened to Kakashi, but he only had to stay in the hospital for a week.
"Let's go straight to the hospital. My father is still on the battlefield and there is no one at home now." Might Guy replied quickly.
Kakashi nodded and prepared to go to Konoha Hospital with Might Guy.
"Let's all go together. We can get a physical check-up without having to be hospitalized." Nohara Lin said.
"Obito, what do you think?" After saying that, Nohara Rin looked at Obito.
Looking at Nohara Rin's eyes full of tenderness, Obito nodded subconsciously.
Nohara Lin clapped her hands lightly, with a bright smile on her face, "That's great, we all think alike."
Obito realized it later and remembered that he had originally planned to go home directly to report his safety to his grandmother.
But Obito finally closed his mouth when he saw the bright smile on Nohara Rin's face. It wouldn't take long to go to the hospital together.
Next, the four of them went to Konoha Hospital together.
"Hey, you're Hatake Kakashi? The little white fang from Konoha."
The ninja who was processing Kakashi's hospitalization procedures looked at Kakashi's face and then at the newspaper next to him with a surprised expression.
A weird expression appeared on Kakashi's face, what the hell is Konoha White Fang, it sounds too stupid.
"It's so funny, what kind of weird title is Konoha Little White Fang, because you're not tall enough, Kakashi?"
Obito laughed out loud.
"I am indeed Hatake Kakashi, but I am not Konoha's White Fang."
Kakashi ignored Obito and calmly answered the hospital ninja's question.
Because of Obito's voice, the hospital ninjas discovered that Uchiha Obito, Might Guy and Nohara Rin mentioned in the report were all here.
"You have just returned from the front line. Your deeds on the battlefield have been published in Konoha newspapers and have spread throughout Konoha. Everyone says that Kakashi can become the next Konoha White Fang." The hospital ninja said with a smile.
If the protagonist of the latest issue of Konoha News is Mu Yue, then Kakashi is an important supporting character. Coupled with Kakashi's identity as his father, he is discussed more than Might Guy and second only to Mu Yue.
Although Konoha White Fang eventually committed suicide due to mission failure, leaving a huge stain, he was a strong man who made a name for himself after all. The expression of Konoha White Fang in the poem does not contain any sarcasm, but is purely a reflection of his optimism about Kakashi's future.
After all, Kakashi killed the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon when he was only ten years old. Even if he did not kill it alone, it was an achievement worthy of pride.
"You have very poor taste in naming names," Kakashi said bluntly.
He could tell that the hospital ninja's words contained no sarcasm, but Kakashi still felt that it was not a good title.
After going through a series of things, Kakashi has actually let go of a lot. He has come to terms with his past self and his deceased father, but this does not mean that Kakashi likes to be called Little White Fang.
He doesn't need to become anyone. If he has to say his goal is to surpass Konoha White Fang as Hatake Kakashi, rather than becoming the next Konoha White Fang.
"Indeed, Lord White Fang did not have such a record when he was ten years old. It is indeed inappropriate to use the title of Konoha Little White Fang." The hospital ninja did not feel embarrassed, but continued with what Kakashi said.
After all, this title was not given by him, so Kakashi was not scolding him.
"By the way, since you are back, is Lord Mu Yue back too?" The hospital ninja couldn't help but ask.
As soon as the latest issue of Konoha News was released, Mu Yue instantly became the most discussed ninja in Konoha and even in the Land of Fire, suppressing Orochimaru and Jiraiya.
Although Mu Yue is not an unknown figure in Konoha, he is not as strong as Yellow Flash in the public's impression. This performance caused a great shock.
"No, please complete the procedures as soon as possible." Kakashi reminded.
There is a limit to slacking off. It is inappropriate to chat openly during working hours.
The hospital ninja then remembered that he was still at work. He looked around guiltily and quickly helped Might Guy and Kakashi complete the hospitalization procedures.
"Please give me the newspaper as compensation for my mistakes at work."
After completing the formalities, Kakashi held out his hand.
"Please don't report it."
The hospital ninja gave the newspaper to Kakashi very honestly. He had already finished reading it, so it didn't matter if he gave it to him, as a newspaper was not worth much.
"Let me see. Let me see."
As soon as Kakashi got the newspaper, Obito couldn't help but put his head close to it, wanting to see what was inside.
"My fire escape is so cool, the title must be very domineering."
Words such as "Flame Demon", "God of Fire", and "Konoha's Fire Tiger" appeared in Obito's mind.
"What are you thinking about? How could the village's official newspaper staff possibly give you a title?"
Kakashi wordlessly pushed the head that came up to him away.
Forget about giving titles, titles rarely appear in Konoha newspapers unless the title is highly recognized.
His nickname of Konoha Little White Fang could definitely not have been given by Konoha. It should have been the result of conversation among people with nothing to do.
"Then why do you have a title, even though it's not very nice." Obito asked in confusion.
"First of all, I don't acknowledge this as my title. Secondly, having a title doesn't mean it was given by the village," Kakashi explained.
After arriving at the ward, Kakashi sat on the bed and opened the newspaper. Obito and others looked at the newspaper curiously.
Might Guy and Nohara Lin were also curious about how their thrilling battle would be described.
"In defense of our homeland, we have achieved an unprecedented victory on the East Coast battlefield, and the Kirigakure Ninja Force has suffered heavy losses!"
The first thing Kakashi saw was the eye-catching large characters on the newspaper headline. It was obvious that the content of this newspaper was about the war on the battlefield where they were.
"The brutal and vicious Kirigakure ninjas took advantage of the lack of defense on the east coast to invade the east coast of the Land of Fire. At first, our ninjas were forced to fall into a disadvantage due to various reasons, but under the leadership of the troop commander Orochimaru, the situation on the east coast battlefield improved and gradually turned from disadvantage to advantage. In this process, the outstanding jonin of Konoha, Hanyu Muyue, played an indispensable role. He killed many powerful Kirigakure ninjas like a sharp knife and obtained important intelligence for us..."
There is basically no sign of Kakashi and the others on the front page; it is all about Mu Yue and Orochimaru, or photos of the battlefield.
Kakashi, who often read the Konoha newspaper, was not surprised. The Konoha newspaper has always been like this. The good pages always talk about important people and well-known strong people, and other characters in the incident will only appear later.
"Why don't we see our names here? It's okay for Teacher Mu Yue, but why are there so many of Orochimaru?" Obito couldn't help but complain.
Orochimaru was clearly not involved in this encounter, so he didn't understand why Orochimaru's name appeared.
What's more, under Orochimaru's leadership, he has never spoken to Orochimaru.
Kakashi glanced outside, then signaled with his eyes that Might Guy, who was closer to the door, should close it.
There are only two beds in this ward, and the only thing we have to worry about is whether people outside might hear us.
"Lord Orochimaru is one of the legendary three ninjas and the commander of the ninja troops on the East Coast battlefield. Don't say such things next time." Kakashi shook his head.
Of course Kakashi knew the reason. After all, Orochimaru was the commander on the battlefield, and no matter what contributions they made, they could not get around him.
However, Kakashi knew that even if he told it, Obito would most likely not understand, so he just told him not to say it.
Considering Obito's identity and status, discussing Orochimaru in this way was quite disrespectful to his senior. If Orochimaru's subordinates heard it, they would beat Obito up directly, saying that Obito was not in the right.
"Isn't Uncle Toad one of the Three Ninjas? He doesn't have so many things to do." Obito didn't understand.
He once complained about Jiraiya to his face on the Kusagakure battlefield.
Kakashi hesitated to speak. Obito did offend Jiraiya, but Jiraiya obviously didn't take it to heart, so there was no problem.
However, people are different. Even if Kakashi doesn't know Orochimaru, he feels that Jiraiya and Orochimaru are very different just by looking at their faces and aura.
"If I tell you not to say it, then don't say it. Just treat it as an order from the vice-captain." Kakashi thought for a while and said.
"You are not on the battlefield or on a mission now, so your position as vice-captain is useless."
Obito thought Kakashi was using chicken feathers as a token of authority.
"If you don't want to be assigned to do odd jobs in the next mission, you'd better listen to me more." Kakashi threatened without any concealment.
"Kakashi, you will regret this!" Obito's face darkened.
He had no doubt that Kakashi would actually do so, after all, their team's combat power was overflowing in most cases.
"I'm the vice-captain." Kakashi said that he had the right to do whatever he wanted.
This time Obito behaved himself and continued to read the newspaper quietly.
It was not until they read the second half that they saw reports about them in a relatively marginal position.
Kakashi and his companions in the newspaper were described as talented ninjas who were young but had an extremely firm will of fire. Even when faced with powerful enemies like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja Swordsmen, they did not abandon their companions and fought bloody battles to protect the village. When Mu Yue did not arrive, they joined forces with Might Dai to repel the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja Swordsmen and even killed the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja Swordsmen on the spot.
Although Kakashi and his entire team were reported in the Konoha newspaper, there was a slight difference in the length of the description.
Among them, Might Guy is mentioned the most, followed by Obito and Kakashi who teamed up to kill the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon, then Shisui, and Nohara Rin is mentioned less. As for Ebisu and Shiranui Genma, they are only mentioned by name without any personal description.
"Now no one should dare to look down on my father anymore." Might Guy felt a surge of pride as he read the description of his father.
Matt Dai's description is only slightly shorter than his.
"It's too little. I feel like the mission process is very brief."
Obito looked at the praises of himself in the newspaper and felt a little unsatisfied.
"If you were the one who killed Mizunotsuki Kan and four other members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, you would have more space." Kakashi said calmly.
There is only so much space in a newspaper, and it is a miracle for them to get so much space given their current status.
"One day I will make the best place in Konoha Newspaper to describe my deeds!" Obito said excitedly.
He just didn't believe that becoming Hokage and ending the war wouldn't make the headlines in the Konoha newspaper.
"I hope your plan is not to become a writer for the Konoha newspaper and secretly replace the content." Kakashi put the newspaper away.
Nohara Lin covered her mouth and chuckled, "Kakashi, don't underestimate Obito. Even he can't do such a thing."
Although Nohara Rin was speaking for him, Obito felt something was wrong.
"That's true. He probably just dreams of becoming Hokage and being in the newspapers." Kakashi said as he lay down on the bed.
Obito was shocked. Could it be that there is a ninjutsu that can see into people's minds?
As if he had seen through Obito's inner thoughts, Kakashi said bluntly: "You are too easy to understand."
When Obito scratched his hair, Kakashi could guess what he was thinking, because Obito's thoughts were all written on his face, and it was hard for Kakashi not to know.
In the end, Obito fled from the hospital.
"It would be nice if there really was a ninjutsu that could see into one's heart." Obito couldn't help but think on his way home.
People's minds are really hard to understand, especially girls'. Obito often can't understand what Nohara Rin is thinking.
If he had a ninjutsu that could see through people's inner thoughts, he could make Nohara Rin happy every day.
"Grandma, I'm back." Obito shouted with full energy after returning home.
When grandma heard the familiar voice, she slowly walked to the entrance. When she saw Obito's face, she smiled with relief.
"You must be hungry. Grandma will make you something to eat."
After taking a closer look at Obito, grandma walked towards the kitchen.
"Hehe, that's true a little bit." Obito accepted his grandmother's kindness with a smile.
Although Mu Yue's cooking is delicious, he will miss his grandmother's cooking if he doesn't eat it for a while.
"Our Obito has made great progress. Yesterday, the clan leader came to your house and gave you some gifts, saying that they were rewards for you and that you are an outstanding Uchiha."
There was a hint of pride in grandma's words, as Obito was raised by her alone.
Although she didn't read the newspaper and didn't know what Obito did, it must be a good thing.
"Besides, the clan leader also said that you can go look for him if you come back."
