Kakashi Hatake, Who Ditched Everyone for an Entire Volume

"As long as the people of the Land of Snow remember that I am your friend, they will not dare to cause trouble," Kazahana Koyuki argued confidently. "As for outsiders, if powerful ninjas invade the Land of Snow, it will be safer for me to be away from the country..."

Well, the girl had to admit that her reasoning had some flaws. Because of the existence of ninjas, who were beyond the norm, many things here couldn't be explained using her past life's experiences, otherwise, she would make a ridiculous joke.

What seems absurd to her might be perfectly normal to others.

"Actually, by doing this, you've already made a choice," Sakura thought for a moment, the essence of which was quite clear, "You chose to be an actress, but at the same time hoped to also shoulder the responsibilities of the Daimyo of the Land of Snow. Tsk, it's nothing more than being unable to let go of the power you hold, clinging to your position!"

Kazahana Koyuki's eyes immediately filled with the meaning of "don't expose someone's hardships".

"Acting is my career, and the Land of Snow is my responsibility. Moreover, the high salaries from filming movies can alleviate the overwhelming pressure on the Land of Snow. Therefore, what the Land of Snow needs now is not Kazahana Koyuki as a daimyo, but Fujikaze Yukie as a famous movie star."

"Alright, alright, save your sweet talk for the people of the Land of Snow," Sakura rolled her eyes at her. "You're getting a good deal and you're still acting innocent! I think you should think about how to deal with your Uncle Asama about this; he's not so easily convinced."

"Uncle has always supported me, so don't worry, I can accept him. It's Takehiko who's been really angry lately!"

"Uh, right, it's good to get rid of the mastermind so that filming can continue..." Sakura also had a bit of a headache at this point. When Asama nephew Kazahana Koyuki faced the threat to Kazahana Dōtō's life, they only thought about killing him to eliminate the threat, but they never thought that things would develop like this. Kazahana Koyuki unexpectedly and naturally became the Daimyo of the Land of Snow.

As a result, the external enemy that was interfering with the filming disappeared, but the lead actor became a daimyo, and director Asama's film was completely shelved.

"It's alright. Since I've decided not to give up my acting career, I'll definitely finish filming this movie. Although it took some time and forced Brother Takehiko to revise the script at the last minute," Kazahana Koyuki shrank her neck. "I hope he won't yell at me. He's really fierce when he yells on set!"

"Hehe..." Sakura smiled without saying a word.

Of course she supports Yuki becoming daimyo; wasn't the roundabout strategy she used back then all for this very moment...?

However, I never expected Xue to do this.

As for how things will ultimately turn out, and whether Xue's antics will lead to her being forced off the stage, it's not good for her.

Anyway, even if she doesn't become a daimyo, Yuki will still be a famous movie star and live a comfortable and carefree life; if Sakura Haruno wants to build a base in the Land of Snow, she doesn't need Yuki to become a daimyo to build it, so what if the daimyo at that time dares to stop her? She hasn't even gotten justice for Yuki yet! In the end, it's just a little more troublesome.

Having made the decision, there was no further delay. The next day, Kazahana Koyuki officially succeeded as the Daimyo of the Land of Snow.

When they parted, Xue's eyes reddened, and she hugged the girl tightly, refusing to let go. So Sakura ended up getting another round of face wash...

Two days later, the three members of Team 7 boarded the ship back to Konoha.

On the second morning after returning to Konoha, Team 7 gathered on the training ground as usual.

"Kakashi-sensei!"

Upon seeing the familiar figures on the training field, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke, and Naruto of Team 7 simultaneously shouted out the same sentence, their voices filled with surprise and anger, disbelief and delight respectively.

Yes, the white-haired, masked man standing in front of Sakura and the others is none other than Kakashi Hatake, who hasn't appeared for an entire volume, the man Kakashi Hatake.

"Long time no see, how are you all?" the young man, who usually covered his Forehead Protector with a Sharingan, said lazily.

There wasn't a trace of guilt in his squinting smile for having stood up the students for two or three months.

This attitude, devoid of any sense of responsibility or remorse, immediately infuriated Naruto had been pleasantly surprised by Kakashi's appearance.

"Damn Kakashi-sensei, we're the ones who're in the wrong!" Naruto yelled at Kakashi, his face full of indignation. "You haven't come to see us for two whole months! Are you even our teacher?!"

"Oh dear, Naruto, I'm so sorry," Kakashi scratched his head, apologizing insincerely. "I've been very busy with missions lately and haven't had much time to train or do missions with you. Besides, didn't you do a great job on the Land of Snow mission?"

"Hehe," Naruto chuckled smugly, this simple-minded guy was easily swayed by the topic. "Kakashi-sensei, I'm with you—"

"Excuse me, Naruto ~" A fair hand "gently" pushed Naruto had fallen for Kakashi's trick, aside, and Sakura appeared in front of Kakashi with a sweet smile on her face, completely undetectable that she had just been angry.

"Kakashi-sensei, I've missed you so much these past two months! Please let me give you a hug!"

Without waiting for Kakashi to speak, the pink-haired girl lunged at him, bumping into Kakashi and then giving him a tight hug.

Crack! The substitute wood in Sakura's arms shattered into countless fragments.

Kakashi, who had used the Substitution Technique to teleport behind the girl, broke out in a cold sweat.

"I... Sakura, you're not thinking of murdering your teacher, are you?" Kakashi said helplessly, his deadpan eyes drooping, and patted Sakura's head. "I've been really busy lately, so please forgive your teacher!"

"Hmph!" The girl crossed her arms, puffed out her cheeks, and turned her head to the side, ignoring him.

Through their long-term interaction, Sakura had learned a valuable lesson: never give Kakashi a friendly look at this time!

After calming down the two ruffled foxes and the overgrown little girl, Kakashi turned to the last expressionless boy. "So, how's Sasuke? How's he been lately?"

"Tch, thanks to you, I've basically mastered the Mitsudomoe and Lightning Blade recently!" Sasuke, who usually plays the stoic role in front of Kakashi, couldn't help but curl up his lips slightly when he got to the point of pride.

"Very good! Everyone did a great job." Kakashi rubbed his hands together in satisfaction, then put his palms together and asked with a smile, "So... um, what should we do now?"

This guy has been away from Team 7 for over two months, and now he has absolutely no idea about Sakura Haruno's and the others' training progress or mission pace...

"By the way, it's been a while since we've worked together on a mission. How about we take on one to practice our teamwork?"

A mysterious silence.

Of the three children in Team 7, the most active one looked up and started counting birds; the coolest one had his hands in his pockets and always wore a poker face.

And their leader, the prettiest and most handsome one, seemed to suddenly realize how beautiful his hands were and began to study his slender fingers.

The white-haired youth's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a bitter expression. Sure enough, these kids were still angry...

Kakashi was unaware that while he was away, Team 7 had been harassed during a high-level mission, and the three of them remembered it vividly. They had already decided to pin half the blame on Masked Teacher.

"Hey... don't any of you want to do the mission?"
