An Awkward Yet Polite Smile (Please Vote!)

Seeing Kakashi's solemn expression, as though he had made some kind of resolution, Hyuga Kagami opened his mouth but did not know what to say. In the end, he could only nod.

Seeing that Hyuga Kagami had agreed, Kakashi walked to the window. Gazing outside, he slowly said, "On behalf of the village, thank you for what you did today!"

Hyuga Kagami casually asked, "Why are you thanking me?"
