After leaving the Raikage Building, Kakashi was about to part ways with Naruto and Hinata.
After all, they were staying in different places now.
But it was no big deal. They all moved fast, so meeting up would take no time.
The guesthouse was in northern Kumogakure, beneath a waterfall, and had hot springs for bathing.
Come to think of it, every guesthouse seemed to have hot springs.
Kakashi's old house, meanwhile, was in northwestern Kumogakure, around the second ring.
Don't underestimate the second ring! Being able to buy a house there already showed that Kakashi had once established a position for himself in Kumogakure!
Plenty of Shinobi still lived out in the third and fourth rings.
Kakashi looked at the sunshine spilling down from the sky. A had kept Yugito Nii behind, saying he had something to tell her.
He would go take a look at the house by himself first. He wondered what it looked like now.
"Shh, look, he's out!"
"Mole copies, Mole copies."
"Calling Falcon, calling Falcon. Requesting an aerial view!"
"Falcon copies. Aerial observer deployed."
"..."
Kakashi's mouth twitched as he looked at the sparrow that had suddenly blocked his sunlight overhead.
He took a bag of birdseed from his waist pouch, poured some into his palm, and raised his hand.
Sharing the sparrow's vision, Falcon chuckled. Mere birdseed-how could that possibly destroy the bond between him and Haji Eagle!
Then Haji Eagle's field of vision suddenly swayed as the bird flew down.
Haji Eagle landed on Kakashi's hand and began eating his birdseed.
Looking at the sparrow before him, Kakashi smiled and stroked Haji Eagle's head with his other hand.
Itachi had asked him to buy this birdseed for Ya-ya earlier. He had kept a bag, intending to feed it to Pakkun.
But Pakkun
