Hatake Kakashi took a deep breath and, under Uchiha Akira's expectant gaze, turned and left without hesitation.
When he returned home, Rin Nohara looked at him in confusion. "Honey?"
She instinctively sensed that Kakashi had something on his mind. "Did something happen?"
"Rin."
Kakashi took a deep breath. "What if—I mean, what if you, our son, and I were reborn together and returned to when we were seven? Would you think I was being too arbitrary?"
His gaze turned uneasy as he looked at Rin Nohara. What worried him most was everything in the Land of God.
That she might think he was too domineering.
Rin Nohara's gentle eyes revealed a trace of reproach. "Kakashi, what are you talking about?"
She set down the clothes in her hands.
"As long as our family can be together, we'll be happy no matter where we are. And going back to when we were seven?"
"Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"I've always regretted that, Kakashi—you never noticed my feelings for you when we were little."
"If we can go back to when we were seven, then, Kakashi, you'll have to court me all over again."
Her pretty face was gentle and brimming with love. She embraced all of Kakashi's emotions, and he instantly relaxed.
"However..."
Rin Nohara paused for a moment. "Since we're going back to when we were seven, could we leave our son behind for now?"
"I still want to spend some time alone with you."
The two exchanged smiles.
There was no guilt toward their son in their eyes, only longing for a happy life.
"Wait for me, Rin. Before I leave, I need to do something first!"
Kakashi grinned and quickly turned on the computer at home. At the same time, he sent messages to Second Pillar and Naruto Uzumaki
