That's why Kakashi is considered a genius!
Within three days, he was able to wield the newly acquired power within his body with ease.
Of course, Kakashi couldn't resist Karot's help during these three days. Kakashi's strength had increased, and he had become arrogant, wanting to challenge Karot to avenge the years of bullying he had suffered at the hands of the team. However, Kakashi forgot the rule that a brother is always a brother.
The result was disastrous. Karot even specifically targeted his face, leaving Kakashi's cheeks swollen. It's unclear whether Karot was taking revenge, but Kakashi's only slightly more handsome than Karot, is now too ashamed to show his face.
It's fortunate that Kabuto, the Medical Ninja, was here; otherwise, Kakashi wouldn't have dared to leave the lab. His illustrious career was almost ruined by Karot.
Of course, during these three days, Karot also spent his time sparring with Kakashi —no, he also sparred with his partner Orochimaru to pass the time, and he also discussed ways to garner votes with Orochimaru. However, in this respect, ten Karot couldn't match one Orochimaru.
In the end, Karot could only come to one conclusion: those who engage in politics are all corrupt. Orochimaru's plan was an eye-opener for Karot, lowering Karot standards to a whole new level. If he weren't partners with Orochimaru, Karot would have wanted to shoot Orochimaru dead.
"I'll leave the rest to you, Orochimaru- senpai."
Orochimaru doesn't need Karot to intervene when he's playing his schemes. Karot is like a nuclear weapon now; you might not need him, but you can't do without him. His existence is to prevent others from overturning the table.
"Hatake- kun, just wait and see what happens."
"Then I'll wait and see."
They exchanged a glance, then each walked away.
Karot led Kakashi out of the laboratory and back to the village.
"Kakashi."
Before he could even speak, Might Guy, dressed in a green bodysuit, rushed up to Kakashi.
When are you and Shizune getting married?
The unexpected question completely stumped Kakashi.
Karot knew the wind had already blown. Sanada, that big mouth, must have told Kazumi everything. Kazumi works at the hospital, and girls' gossip circles are incredibly wide; three days would be enough for the news to spread. Sanada couldn't help but give Sanada a thumbs up. What a good brother!
"Kakashi."
Obito also came to see Kakashi. Now that he knows that Karot has someone he likes, and that person isn't Rin, Obito is very happy. He and Karot are close friends, and although they always argue when they meet, their friendship is undeniable.
"Kakashi, congratulations."
Rin also came to congratulate Kakashi, but her congratulations carried a hint of sadness, which three of the four people present couldn't detect. Karot, on the other hand, was a man who had read the script, so he was naturally not comparable to them.
At this moment, Kakashi realized that Karot had set a huge trap for him three days ago. Kakashi turned around and glared angrily at Karot.
However, Karot's thick skin is no joke; as long as my skin is thick enough, you can't affect me.
"Kakashi, goodbye."
Then, Karot disappeared right in front of Kakashi. Before disappearing, Karot saw his classmates coming to find Kakashi.
"Tsunade, you heard, right? Who knew that Kakashi, that repressed little boy, liked Shizune?"
Jiraiya this time, Tsunade had been constantly bothering Tsunade, trying to comfort her. After all, not being able to take revenge herself was always frustrating. Jiraiya could conveniently be the target of her anger; letting Teuchi her frustration was fine, as Jiraiya was used to it anyway. Unfortunately, in the original timeline, the two were simply destined to be apart.
If Jiraiya hadn't searched the entire Ninja World for some Child of Destiny, he wouldn't have given Dan Katō the opportunity to be with Tsunade. In the end Jiraiya gained nothing. But in this life, the gears of fate have shifted; who knows what the outcome will be for them?
Tsunade raised her cup and downed the drink in one gulp, glancing Jiraiya before ignoring him completely.
"Tsunade, did you even hear what I said?! Kakashi may be a bit of a repressed pervert, but he's actually a pretty good guy. Not only is he good-looking, but he's also reached Jonin level now. He's worthy of Shizune."
Jiraiya certainly knew how important Shizune was to Tsunade, and that she was also a perfect match for Kakashi.
"I know Kakashi is a good person, but this is a matter between the two juniors, and I can't force Shizune to marry him."
Seeing that Tsunade, Jiraiya continued speaking.
"Let them get to know each other first. If they get along, they can continue. If not, then forget it."
To be fair, Jiraiya went to great lengths for Kakashi. This morning, Minato came to Jiraiya asking Jiraiya to Tsunade to Tsunade. Minato had been flirting with girls at school, and seeing that one of his students was still single, he was understandably anxious. Now, having learned from Kushina that Kakashi liked Shizune, he naturally wanted to help his student win the heart of the beauty. However, there was a huge obstacle in his way: Tsunade.
To remove this obstacle, the only option was to ask his mentor, Jiraiya, for help. If that failed, Jiraiya get a beating from Jiraiya. Minato was willing to do this deal, which is why Jiraiya came to act as his intermediary.
"Shizune, what do you think?"
As Tsunade's sidekick, Shizune was always by Tsunade's side.
Upon hearing Tsunade's question, Shizune blushed and lowered her head. Kakashi was handsome and strong; no girl could resist him.
"It's entirely up to Tsunade-sama to decide."
With the word "Shizune," Jiraiya knew that he had succeeded in his role as a persuader.
"Minato is hosting Kakashi at his house tonight, Shizune, you should come too."
Seeing Shizune's face turn red, Tsunade immediately agreed on her behalf.
"Okay, now get out of here!"
Tsunade said irritably. This guy stole her little assistant as soon as he arrived. It's really infuriating. Even your grand-disciple knows to find a wife, and you, an old bachelor, aren't you in a hurry?
After Jiraiya had walked away, he turned to Shizune and said...
"Shizune, let's go shopping, buy some new clothes, and dress up nicely."
"Yes, Tsunade-sama."
No girl can resist the temptation of new clothes.
"Brush."
Karot appeared in the house in a flash. However, Hatake Sakumo was home today.
"Father, you're home!"
"Karot greeted me," he said.
"It's all because of you. Now all my friends are asking me when I'm getting married."
"What does this have to do with me?"
Karot immediately denied it.
As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. These past few days, the news has spread throughout the ninja world. Hatake Sakumo immediately knew that it was Karot who was behind it. Because a few days ago, he wanted Karot to go on a blind date, and as a result, the news spread that Kakashi had a crush on Shizune. No one but Karot would do such a thing.
Hatake Sakumo simply watched as Karot Karot was defeated.
"I did it."
"Doesn't Father want to have a grandson?"
Karot delivered a critical hit with a single move, something Hatake Sakumo had always longed for. Now that peace was restored, the next generation of the family should be born, but neither of the two in the family seemed to have the same awareness. One was constantly training, and the other was secretly reading comic books, driving Hatake Sakumo to the brink of despair.
Are you confident?
Hatake Sakumo asked anxiously.
"I don't know, it depends on whether Kakashi has figured it out yet."
Karot also looked troubled; this was something only Kakashi could handle.
Sigh x2
The father and son sighed simultaneously.
