Brothers for Life

Shiro believes that it's best for Kakashi to stay at school right now. It's not only safe, but it also helps him calm down, since the two most important people in his life— Obito and Guy—are both there.

These two people hold extraordinary significance for Kakashi; it can be said that their existence is what enabled Kakashi to emerge from the shadows.

Needless to say, Obito's love for Kakashi was so strong that he immediately activated his Two-Tomoe when he saw Kakashi injured!

This alone shows Obito's feelings for Kakashi. Looking at the Uchiha Clan, even those involving the Sage of Six Paths, there aren't many who have directly Two-Tomoe like him.

This gives us a glimpse!

For Kakashi, Obito not only made him realize the correctness of his father's actions, but also gave him experience cards multiple times, the kind that could Susanoo!

In a sense, Obito was the one who spent the most time with Kakashi.

The other Kai is even more powerful. Just how powerful?

He's the only man in Hokage who can change Kakashi's style anytime, anywhere! Whether he's aloof or goofy, it's all up to our Might Guy!

They might even be willing to abandon their ever-present erotic novels because of this!

That's the best!

As you can see, Jiraiya's new sequel only allows him to put away the old ones and take on the new ones, which shows the status of Might Guy in his heart.

Therefore, Shiro felt that the best way to help Kakashi was to have more contact with them at school, since Shiro was really not good at talking.

Shiro and Kakashi stayed at the cemetery until evening before returning. When they arrived back at the Hatake Residence, they found a basket at the door with a note inside.

Shiro stepped forward, picked up the note from the basket, glanced at it, and paused slightly in surprise.

They discovered that this was left there by his mother, Keiko. After learning of Sakumo's death from somewhere, they were worried that Shiro and Kakashi wouldn't have time to cook, and that it wouldn't be appropriate to eat out at this time. So they prepared a meal for them and told them not to worry about it for the next few days.

After all, public opinion hadn't calmed down yet, and most villagers were still hostile towards them, which was why Shiro didn't go back to see them first.

Although Shiro had already bought a house and moved out of Kazuki, Shiro would always go to let them know he was safe and sound whenever he returned from a mission.

For now, the most agonizing time for them is when Shiro goes on a mission, because they are always worried that Shiro might encounter some danger and that he might never return.

Therefore, Shiro would always report that he was safe and sound before returning from a mission. Even if the mission required reporting, Shiro would rush home first and then quickly catch up with Taichi and the others.

However, after entering the village this time, Shiro did not visit them.

According to Shiro's intelligence, although his legend already existed in the village, his relationships with family and friends had not been exposed.

In other words, Shiro were to go back to see them now, it would only cause them trouble. Therefore, Shiro simply sent a Small Familiar explain the specific situation to them, advising them to avoid contact with him during this period.

Unfortunately, almost all parents are the same; they can't be persuaded at all. So, they ended up bringing the food themselves.

Who sent it?

"It's my mom. Let's go eat."

Please thank your aunt for me later.

"Come on, go by yourself. I have to say thank you for you. Why don't you give me your food?" Shiro rolled his eyes while eating after hearing Kakashi's words.

"Tch, so stingy."

"If you're so generous, just say it yourself!"

"Where did you learn that accent? It sounds so Yin-Yang, I've never heard it before at school."

"That's because you're ignorant."

However, Shiro's words lacked conviction. They were simply a direct translation, sounding like Shiro, and were quite awkward to hear, except perhaps by himself.

"Hmph! If you let me graduate, I'll see so many more things."

"Hehehe, trying to provoke me won't work. The conditions are the same as before: unless you satisfy me, you'd better finish reading obediently!"

"Tch, you didn't even specify the standards, it's obvious you don't want me to graduate."

Seven days later, Kakashi arrived at Shiro's door on time and began to knock.

These past few days, Shiro has been staying at the Hatake Residence temporarily to take care of Kakashi. There's no other way; given Kakashi's current state, it would be hilarious if he suddenly did something rash.

Therefore, in order to nip the accident in the bud, Shiro will stay here temporarily to keep Kakashi calm. Things will be better after these two days, and then a more suitable candidate will be found.

However, now there's an even more troublesome matter.

Shiro looked at Kakashi in front of him, scratched his head in distress, and said, "Since you're so eager to know, then come with me. It's not convenient here."

After saying that, Shiro took the lead and headed home. Kakashi frowned and followed Shiro.

Based on his understanding of his father and Shiro, Kakashi was fairly certain that his father must have said something to Shiro, otherwise Shiro wouldn't have reacted this way.

Along the way, Shiro and Kakashi walked at a relatively fast pace, because although seven days had passed, the rumors had not been completely dispelled.

Therefore, walking on the road was still an ordeal for Shiro and Kakashi. Shiro was alright, though, because he had received many strange looks when he trained with Dai, so he was somewhat used to it.

Kakashi was different; after all, he was still just a boy, and his temperament wasn't strong enough yet. So Shiro quickened his pace, hoping to catch up as soon as possible.

Fortunately, once they entered the Uzumaki Clan's territory, there were far fewer people, and this area was also a strict zone for spreading rumors, so the attitude towards Kakashi was relatively normal.

As they walked, Shiro led Kakashi straight through the door and into Kakashi study.

"Please have a seat." As he spoke, Shiro activated the Magic Barrier around the study to prevent eavesdropping.

Seeing Shiro's actions, Kakashi narrowed his eyes and said, "Now you can finally tell me, right?"

Seeing Kakashi's anxious expression, Shiro smiled slightly and continued, "You just want to know why your teacher committed suicide, right?"

"That's right, Father really was because..."

"Then what?"

"What? And then? What are you talking about?" Kakashi was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard Shiro's words before he could finish speaking.

"After you know why your teacher committed suicide, what do you want to do? Or rather, what can you do right now?"

After hearing Shiro's words, Kakashi began to think deeply.

"There's nothing you can do right now, so I won't tell you. Once your strength improves, you'll naturally understand everything. Anything I say now is useless."

"Hiss~ Huff~" Kakashi took a deep breath and asked Shiro, "So what do you think I should do?"

"It's simple: go to school, graduate normally, that's it. Once you become stronger, you'll know everything."

"Another empty promise? Didn't you say you'd always tell me?"

Thank you to My Inner World and Zi Yue for the monthly tickets, thank you for your support! I'll post the second chapter tonight, sorry.
