"I actually took you directly to the hospital...Naruto This guy must have gone too far no matter what he said."
Konoha Village On the edge of a quiet river, a wooden bridge spans both banks. Kakashi leaned against the cold bridge railing. After listening to Satsuki's narration, he helplessly scratched his silver hair with his hand. In this way, I tried to express my love for my disciples and my "condemnation" for Naruto's actions.
Satsuki, with both hands firmly grasping the bridge railing on the other side, was trying her best to suppress the urge in her heart to jump directly into the river from here.
She didn't feel much comfort when she heard Kakashi's words. She just spoke slowly and in an unusually calm tone. "Kakashi, do you still have that book with you?"
"Oh?" Kakashi heard the words, and the exposed eye slightly curved, "You haven't given up yet? You are so perseverant! Well, failure is your mother, so I will give you some more ideas! There is actually..." in that book..."
Facing Kakashi, who instantly entered the "Love Master" mode again, Satsuki turned his head sharply.
Those eyes, which were still red and stained with tears, were staring at Kakashi with an extremely cold look, full of great resentment.
"Give it to me. I'm going to burn that old book to ashes."
She paused and corrected. "No... maybe the one who was burned... should be you, Kakashi."
"... Huh?" Kakashi was overwhelmed by Satsuki's sudden and huge resentment that was obviously directed at him. He subconsciously took a half step back and laughed twice, "Ha... hehe... it's really hard to understand the minds of young people nowadays..."
He tried to divert the firepower and pointed the finger at Naruto. "But having said that, that boy Naruto is really a bit ungrateful. There is such a cute and excellent girl who admires him so much and has made so many attempts for him, but he reacts like this and takes you to the hospital... It is really too much."
However, these words of "hatred of hatred" did not have any consoling effect. Satsuki still looked so full of resentment, as if he was going to fight to the death with himself in the next second.
Kakashi could even clearly feel that although Satsuki would not really burn himself to ashes, he would at least want to throw him from the bridge into the river out of resentment.
Kakashi immediately changed the way of saying it. "Ahem... But then again, you don't actually need to be so angry, right? After all..."
"It's all because of your bad ideas!" Kakashi was interrupted excitedly by Satsuki before he finished speaking. "Now... this kind of love has happened to me... how should I face Naruto now?!"
Kakashi: "..."
He was speechless for a moment. After doing this for a long time, the root cause of this girl's resentment is that instead of being embarrassed and being treated as a mental illness, she is more concerned about not being able to face Naruto naturally in the future?
Naruto... What on earth did you do? Kakashi sent out soul torture in his heart. What kind of poison did he cast on the Uchiha Clan's second young lady? Can you charm people like this?
"Why are you worried about this?" Kakashi looked at Satsuki's resentful look and tried to resolve it with a relaxed tone, "Just face him like before. Don't worry, Naruto is very understanding of others."

Seeing that the resentment in Satsuki's eyes had not subsided, Kakashi continued his analysis and tried to change the angle. "Besides, if you think about it carefully, isn't it Naruto that the person he cares about and tolerates the most has always been you?"
"If someone else had done those... uh... unusual actions to him, with Naruto's character, he would probably feel very troubled, and might even subconsciously keep a distance. But what about you?"
Kakashi spread his hands. "He was worried about whether you were 'sick' for the first time, and even ignored your wishes and took you to the hospital anxiously, hoping to find the best doctor to 'treat' you. This reaction just shows that in his heart, your status is unique, and his care and tolerance for you have long gone beyond the scope of ordinary friends."
Although it is definitely far less than your feelings for him... Kakashi added silently in his heart.
However, at the next moment, Kakashi was surprised to find that the resentment and anger in Satsuki's eyes were quickly receding at a speed visible to the naked eye, replaced by a trace of confusion and... weak hope?
"Beyond... ordinary friends?" Satsuki murmured back, his voice very soft.
Kakashi immediately keenly caught this change and decided to pursue the victory. He said more bluntly to consolidate the result, "That's right! In the eyes of almost everyone around you who are familiar with you, you and Naruto are almost bound, right? That kind of special treatment for each other... To be honest, it would be strange if you two are not together in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, almost all the resentment and anger in Satsuki's eyes disappeared instantly! The previous terrifying expression of wanting to throw Kakashi into the river immediately quickly changed to a more common expression of a girl who was a little angry and awkward. Although she was still a little unhappy, at least she looked more normal.
"That's it..." Satsuki lowered his head slightly, and his voice returned to its usual tone, but it was still a little entangled, "Then... tell me, how should I explain to Naruto these days... these strange feelings!"
Looking at Satsuki who was instantly coaxed and started to think about practical problems, Kakashi complained helplessly in his heart.
"It's too coaxing..."
On the surface, he pretended to clear his throat and assume a guiding posture. "Hey, it seems that the 'channel' between the two of you is quite special, and we can't do it through ordinary, roundabout ways."
He made the final, and perhaps most irresponsible, suggestion. "Therefore, if you want to completely solve this problem, in my personal opinion... just go and make it clear to Naruto!"
"... Eh?!" Satsuki suddenly raised his head, "S-Speak clearly?!"
Seeing Satsuki's face turn red instantly and panic eyes, Kakashi continued, with a calm tone that sounded like a broken can. "Indeed, if you go by the impression you have of being a 'cold Uchiha genius' in the eyes of others, what you did these days is indeed too strange and cannot be explained at all. Therefore, it will be more troublesome to go around in circles."
He looked at Satsuki, his exposed eye was bent, and he seemed to have a smile that was not too big to watch the fun, and expressed his final idea.
"So, how about just going to him directly and telling him frankly, 'The reason why I do those weird flirtations is because I like you and want you to pay more attention to me.'"
(There will be another update the next day.)
