It was just an optional pastime.
But no matter what, Kakashi had found something to pass the time with.
After returning home, Kakashi made himself dinner. Once he had eaten, he began his final training session of the day.
He practiced ninjutsu in the yard, along with various physical exercises and swordsmanship training.
There had once been a time when Hatake Swordsmanship was what Kakashi hated most, but now that he understood his father, he no longer rejected it.
After more than an hour of training, it was time to rest.
Kakashi tidied up briefly, then lay down on his bed and drifted into sleep.
Perhaps too much had happened that day, leaving Kakashi exhausted. Or perhaps learning about Rin and Obito had given him something to look forward to.
He slept especially deeply that night.
A week later, Torikaze changed into a formal outfit.
Today was the important day when the two Shinobi Worlds would be connected!
And since Torikaze would be the one announcing it, he had dressed up for the occasion.
A week ago, Konoha had released word that something major would happen today.
Thus, all outsiders had been asked to leave Konoha, though they would receive compensation to ensure they did so willingly.
"How is it? I look pretty good in this, don't I?"
Chisato smiled and nodded. "Of course. This black-and-gold robe is my favorite outfit. You look completely different wearing it. It's just a shame that it's formal wear, so you can't wear it normally."
Torikaze had heard Chisato say this many times, and whenever she brought it up, he could not help laughing.
"It's only an outfit. How different could it make me look? If you like seeing me in it, I'll have Kurenai make a few everyday versions."
Chisato snapped her fingers.
