Kakashi Hatake

The girl walked further and further away under Ye Lan's gaze.

Ye Lan finally reluctantly retracted his gaze, lowering his head to look at the forehead protector in his hand.

After a long while, Ye Lan murmured, "Miss Tsuyuri from the Land of Water, huh? What a lovely name. I believe we'll meet again."

Smiling and shaking his head, Ye Lan gradually calmed his restless heart, carefully placed the forehead protector in his inner pocket, then smiled freely, and swaggered towards the village.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Ye Lan had just lifted his foot to take a few steps when a series of sounds cutting through the wind came from ahead.

Ye Lan subconsciously looked up and saw a face that was extremely familiar to him rapidly approaching.

Ye Lan's heart was also a little excited when he saw who it was.

Soon, the person landed directly in front of Ye Lan.

The person didn't rush to speak, but instead sized up Ye Lan. Ye Lan returned the look with a smile, quietly watching him, but his eyes flickered with excitement.

After a moment, seemingly without gaining anything, the person smiled and extended his hand to Ye Lan, saying, "I'm Kakashi Hatake, a Jonin from Konoha. The Third Hokage already knows about you and has specially sent me to receive you."

Ye Lan was as excited as if he'd been injected with chicken blood when he saw the great figure he admired. Kakashi Hatake was a character he had greatly admired when he used to watch Naruto. The name of the Copy Ninja was like thunder in his ears.

Ye Lan excitedly said, "I'm Ye Lan, you can call me Lan. By the way, how did you know I was here?"

Kakashi said lazily, "Oh, that? After the Third gave me the mission, I went to Anbu and asked Ibiki for some descriptions of your appearance. Moreover, Ibiki had a faint scent on him that didn't belong to him. I determined that it was your scent, so I summoned Pakkun to find you."

After speaking, Kakashi didn't forget to add, "Pakkun is my Ninja Hound."

Of course, Ye Lan already knew this. Pakkun was that pug, wasn't it?

Of course, he only dared to mutter it quietly in his heart. If he said it out loud and Pakkun accidentally heard him, it would definitely bite him to death.

Just as Ye Lan was pondering, the System's prompt sounded in his mind:

"Ding! Host triggered a side quest: Become Kakashi's student and become a member of Team 7. Reward for successful completion: Obtain Uchiha Bloodline Limit. Penalty for failure: Deprivation of learned ninjutsu and revocation of Replication ability."

Ye Lan wasn't flustered at all by the System's task, but instead looked forward to the reward the System would give him after the task was completed.

The Uchiha Bloodline Limit, if used well in Naruto, was an ability that was even more broken than a BUG.

Looking at the kid in front of him who not only looked strange but had also been silent, Kakashi couldn't help but ask, "Lan, do you have any other questions?"

"Oh, no, no..."

Ye Lan was also suddenly pulled back to his senses.

Kakashi nodded and then said, "Next, I will send you to the Ninja Academy to learn the most basic ninjutsu. You need to graduate from the Ninja Academy to become a true ninja. After that, you will carry out missions in the village. Do you have anything you need to prepare before entering the school?"

Ye Lan heard Kakashi say this and quickly shook his head.

He thought to himself, how could he possibly go to the Ninja Academy to study? If he really went, how would he be able to become Kakashi's student?
