"What?! Academy teacher shameless? Stealing student stuff? C'mon, let's check!"
"Truly no face…"
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 666 points of negative emotions from Kakashi Hatake!
Villagers swarmed—Kakashi panicked.
No hesitation—growled at Ye Wu Di:
"Kid—what do you want? I'm serious! You're too young for that book—hand it over…"
"No way! Mine—I decide!"
"Force a freebie? See who's faster—your grab or your shame!"
Ye Wu Di hugged Hinata—Flicker distanced Kakashi.
Clones surrounded Kakashi, then…
Unleashed Naruto!
"Naruto—go!"
"Got it, boss!"
Synced shout—Ye Wu Di kicked Naruto out!
Mid-air—shirt ripped off, slapped chest/arms, roared:
"Left Azure Dragon! Right White Tiger! Ox at waist, dragon head on chest! Man kills man, Buddha slays Buddha!"
"Kakashi-sensei—scared or what?!"
Slap!
Naruto's taunt—Kakashi smacked forehead, flattened him.
"Dragon? Tiger? Worm and dog!"
"Kid—how old are you, spouting kill-kill nonsense?!"
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 666 points of negative emotions from Kakashi Hatake!
Naruto down—Kakashi locked Ye Wu Di.
Clear—Naruto's tattoos + weird lines = Ye Wu Di's coaching!
And Kakashi's right—Naruto's ink + script = Ye Wu Di's clone lessons.
Kakashi's here—miss fat negativity sheep? No way!
"Kid—what do you want?"
"…"
Kakashi fumed—Ye Wu Di chill.
Pondered a beat—grabbed Hinata, left:
"Kakashi-sensei—talk on the move."
"Fine!"
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 99 points of negative emotions from Kakashi Hatake!
Kakashi grumbled—but agreed.
Villagers closing in—stay? Face tanked!
Tap tap tap.
Moment later—Ye Wu Di stopped on a roof, raised Some Island Teacher's Collection!
Kakashi's eyes bulged—heart raced.
"Book's yours—rent, not free! Sign a contract!"
"Plus you…"
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 99 points of negative emotions from Kakashi Hatake!
Kakashi—thrilled for book—tensed.
Kid—spit it!
Gasping for what?!
Drives me nuts!
"Add cash!"
"…"
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 666 points of negative emotions from Kakashi Hatake!
Kakashi face blackened.
But heart—relieved + hyped.
Pay up—get Icha Icha rival book!
And if not mistaken—illustrated edition!
Illustrated Icha Icha!
Gulp—blood boiled!
"Uh… this cash enough?"
Before eyes—Kakashi slapped fat cash stack to Ye Wu Di.
Ye Wu Di? Flat face, cool:
"Meh—fine for a few days. Exact? My mood."
"But chill—not less than a day."
Hyuga elder's extorted cash? Kakashi's stack = chump change.
Negativity points > money—Hyuga son-in-law broke? Never!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 666 points of negative emotions from Kakashi Hatake!
"Hahaha—good, good."
Kakashi irked—but roof, gotta bow.
For book—endure!
Ye Wu Di's setup—Kakashi paid + signed.
Done—Ye Wu Di handed Island Teacher's Collection.
But as Kakashi grabbed—Hinata, in arms, timidly spoke:
"Um~ Brother Wu Di… money? I got lots…"
Hinata pulled wads of cash from pocket.
Stacks—Kakashi's payment dwarfed times over!
Kakashi—beaming for book—smile froze, face coal-black.
Kid—more cash?!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 666 points of negative emotions from Kakashi Hatake!
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning…
Kakashi mid-thought—innocent Hinata saw Ye Wu Di silent.
Not enough?
Next—she spoke:
"Brother Wu Di~ If not enough, I got a sealing scroll. Dad's monthly allowance."
"Should be tons! If not—Hinata's got billions in secret savings…"
Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 666 points of negative emotions from Kakashi Hatake!
"…"
Hinata kept going—Kakashi freaked.
Let her continue? Forget Ye Wu Di—Kakashi loses face to deal!
So—
"No take-backs! Take it!"
Before eyes—Kakashi stuffed all cash into Ye Wu Di's arms.
SnatchedIsland Teacher's Collection.
"Cash for goods—deal done!"
"See ya! Happy school!"
Whoosh!
Deal done—Kakashi bolted—vanished.
Only wild laugh echoed:
"Woo-hoo! Got it! Finally mine, hahaha…"
Empty roof—Kakashi's distant voice.
Ye Wu Di lips twitched—speechless.
Grown up—never seen anyone, bar Hinata, so eager to throw cash…
