Just then, the front door was suddenly opened from the outside.
A white-haired teenager with a masked face and radiating a strong "trying to look cool" aura walked in.
Sakumo's face immediately broke into a bright smile, and he quickly went forward to greet him.
"Kakashi, you're home from school? How was your day? Did any of the other students bully you?"
Hearing this, a helpless expression appeared on Kakashi's face.
He was, after all, the perennial runner-up, and his image was quite outstanding. How could he possibly be bullied by others?
If it weren't for his old man's interference, he wouldn't bother "playing house" at the ninja school.
Apart from that annoying girl, Kakashi looked down on everyone else at the ninja school. He could easily crush them with one hand.
Seeing that Kakashi didn't answer, Sakumo Hatake wasn't angry. Instead, he pointed to Kenji and introduced him:
"This is my good friend Kenji. You can call him Kenji-ojisan. Say hello."
Hearing this, Kakashi's face immediately showed an expression as if he had eaten a pound of... well, you know.
It wasn't as if he hadn't heard of Kenji's name, and he even admired Kenji somewhat.
But wasn't it a bit presumptuous to call him "ojisan" right off the bat?
The age difference between them didn't seem that big.
So, after nodding slightly to Kenji, Kakashi bypassed Sakumo and went upstairs to his room.
Sakumo sat back down opposite Kenji, a slightly troubled expression on his face.
"Ah, Kakashi has become less and less human lately. He used to hug my leg and call me 'Papa', but now he's so stingy with words. Is this what they call the rebellious phase?"
To this, Kenji could only shrug and give him a helpless look.
Kenji suddenly stood up, his expression stiffening.
"Is the ninja school over that quickly?"
Sakumo glanced at the clock on the wall, 5:00 PM sharp, and nodded in response:
"I remember the ninja school ending at 4:00 PM. You should know better than me. What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Sakumo's words were undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Because he had forgotten the time, he had apparently stood Konan up for a full hour.
Thinking of this, Kenji didn't even bother to say goodbye to Sakumo, but directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear next to Konan.
Seeing Kenji suddenly disappear, Sakumo's expression remained unchanged, but he said to himself with a sigh:
"These young people these days are so impatient."
After saying that, Sakumo picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
.....
Looking at this familiar gate, beads of sweat immediately appeared on Kenji's forehead.
Konan was really waiting for him outside the ninja school.
Seeing Kenji suddenly appear, a bright smile immediately appeared on Konan's face.
"Kenji-nii-san, you're here."
Looking at Konan's radiant smile, Kenji only felt a pang of guilt.
After nodding stiffly, he took Konan's little hand and slowly walked towards home.
Somewhat to Kenji's surprise, Konan didn't seem to be angry at all.
She walked along with a light step, humming a cheerful little tune.
However, the more Konan acted like nothing was wrong, the more guilty Kenji felt.
So, Kenji spoke cautiously, testing the waters:
"Konan, I was so late. Are you angry?"
Konan raised her head, revealing a puzzled expression.
"No, Kenji-nii-san, you came to pick me up in the end, didn't you?"
"If I hadn't come at all, would you have waited for me forever?"
"I'm not an idiot, how could I wait forever? When it got dark, I would have gone home by myself. Kenji-nii-san must have had something important to do, so I wouldn't be angry."
Looking at Konan's seemingly genuine expression, Kenji let out a few awkward laughs.
If he had really been delayed today because of something important, it would have been one thing.
But the truth was, he had forgotten the time while drinking tea and chatting at Sakumo's house.
It seemed that Kenji wasn't a good person either.
.....
Two years later, Konan "swished" open the curtains in the room.
Under the sunlight, the eyelids of the three people on the bed all twitched.
"Kenji-nii-san, Kushina-nee-san, Mikoto-nee-san, wake up, it's getting late. I've already made breakfast."
"Ugh, let me sleep for five more minutes. I'll get up in five minutes."
After speaking, Kushina reached out and hugged Kenji's neck, continuing to close her eyes.
Looking at Kushina's actions, Konan couldn't help but cast an envious glance.
And Mikoto, who was on the other side, also opened her eyes at this time, revealing an awkward expression.
"This is a big mistake. I actually had Konan wake me up. This is a complete failure."
While complaining to herself, Mikoto cast a glance towards the culprit.
Kenji, who was still fast asleep, having barely adjusted to the sunlight.
Seeing Kenji sleeping so soundly, Mikoto smacked him on the waist.
Successfully calling Kenji, who had just finished a game of chess with the Duke in his dreams, back to reality.
Looking at Konan, who was looking expectant not far away, Kenji yawned.
Was today a special day? Why did Konan specifically come to the room to wake everyone up?
After a bit of chaos, Kenji finally got himself together, and then headed to the dining room to enjoy the breakfast made by Konan.
Looking at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, Kushina couldn't help but exclaim:
"Is today a special day? The breakfast is so lavish."
Kushina asked the same question that Kenji had just wanted to ask.
Mikoto, who was on the side, didn't hold back in exposing her:
"What kind of sister are you? Today is the day Konan graduates from the ninja academy and gets assigned to a team. From today onwards, Konan will be a ninja."
After speaking, Mikoto couldn't help but cast a gentle gaze towards Konan.
When Mikoto had just graduated, she was just as excited as Konan, staying up late and then waking up early the next day.
"Hehe, so that's it. No wonder..."
Kushina let out a hearty laugh.
For Konan, from today onwards, she wouldn't have to play "house" at the ninja school anymore. It was definitely worth celebrating.
