Chapter 11 Why is the whole world filled with Uchiha Ponds?
"This is... Kakashi Hatake?"
Fugaku Uchiha looked at the white-haired boy wearing a mask with some uncertainty.
Although he had never met Kakashi, he did know Sakumo Hatake, who had been embroiled in controversy and ultimately committed suicide a couple of years ago.
Moreover, his white hair and the short sword at his waist are indeed standard equipment of Konoha's White Fang.
I never expected to see the son of White Fang here...
Thinking of the fate of Konoha's White Fang, Fugaku Uchiha's gaze towards Kakashi became particularly complex.
"That's right." Uchiha Ike nodded and said, "I've already made an appointment with Kakashi to train in ninjutsu together tomorrow to prepare for the upcoming ninja mission."
"Is that so?" Fugaku Uchiha looked quietly at Kakashi Hatake.
"..." Kakashi looked at Uchiha Ike with a blank expression.
Uchiha Ike smiled and winked.
A few seconds later.
Kakashi nodded stiffly: "Mm."
[Emotional fluctuations detected from Uchiha Fugaku!]
[Gain 15 points and increase damage by 3%!]
"In that case," Fugaku Uchiha turned around, nodding with a complex expression, "then you should train hard... don't embarrass the Uchiha."
After saying that, he gave Uchiha Ike a deep look, got up and walked towards the door.
After Uchiha Fugaku left, Uchiha Ike picked up his chopsticks again.
He finished the ramen in his bowl in one go, then got up and went to Kakashi.
"Thank you," he said to Kakashi in a lighthearted tone.
"I don't remember making a promise with you to train together," Kakashi said coldly, his chopsticks idly spinning in the steaming ramen.
Uchiha Ike smiled and said, "I don't remember either."
He just happened to see Kakashi, so he made up a lie to appease Fugaku Uchiha.
Even if Kakashi wasn't there, he would have other reasons to refuse.
but......
He chuckled as he looked at the expressionless Kakashi.
This guy did help out, no matter what.
"So we're even now, right?"
Both sides cleared up?
Kakashi raised an eyebrow, a hint of confusion flashing in his deadpan eyes: "What do you mean?"
This was the first time he had made an expression other than facial paralysis.
However, Uchiha Ike did not answer immediately.
He simply placed his hand casually on the dining table and rhythmically tapped the surface: "Sneaking into other people's privacy without their consent..."
"This kind of behavior is actually called peeping."
Kakashi Hatake's pupils contracted slightly.
Before he could react, Uchiha Ike waved his hand and turned to walk towards the exit of the ramen shop.
Just as the figure was about to disappear behind the curtain, Uchiha Ike's voice reached Kakashi's ears again:
"Consider it a settlement fee for not paying for your movie ticket."
#
After Uchiha Ike left.
Kakashi stared at the curtain in the direction of the exit for a long time.
"Consider it a settlement fee for not paying for your movie ticket."
These words echoed in Kakashi's mind, and the ripples in his eyes remained unsettled for a long time.
As a ninja who would stop at nothing to complete a mission, Kakashi certainly didn't care whether spying was moral or not.
What surprised him was not anything else, but that Uchiha Ike had actually sensed his presence.
This is really hard to understand.
It should be noted that he was in stealth mode the whole time. Even if Uchiha Ike sensed Obito spying on him, he shouldn't have been able to detect his presence.
Unless the opponent is a Chunin who is even better than him.
Even Jonin...
But that's simply impossible.
Why would someone with such abilities stay in a place where they can learn nothing but the Three Bodies Technique and waste their time?
Kakashi frowned slightly, reviewing the situation as it unfolded. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out when or how he had been exposed.
"...It doesn't matter anymore."
After that, Kakashi shook his head.
It doesn't matter what exactly happened with this weirdo who proposed to Nohara Rin.
Since the other party has already settled things, then this matter is over. He has no moral sense to commit suicide out of guilt.
Kakashi took off his mask and slowly began eating the ramen in his bowl.
However, without realizing it, a smiling face with ramen noodle hair appeared on the soup.
"..."
Kakashi put down his chopsticks and gently rubbed his temples.
"...What a weirdo."
The middle-aged man who spoke to Uchiha Ike just now was obviously Uchiha Ike's elder, and seemed to want to give him guidance, but the latter refused with some excuse.
Kakashi couldn't understand why Uchiha Ike would refuse such a good thing. It was really too strange and could only be attributed to the fact that this person was indeed an absolute oddball.
Kakashi closed his eyes, forcibly emptying his mind.
"...It doesn't matter at all."
There is no need to know anything outside of cultivation and missions.
After you've eaten your fill, go and start your training. The teams will be divided in a few days, and we really need to make some preparations as that guy suggested.
...I just hope my teammates aren't some weirdos with such bizarre thought processes.
After making a simple wish, Kakashi finished the last bite of his ramen and got up to leave the ramen shop.
He went in the opposite direction from where he had left Uchiha Ike.
When passing by the Fire Shadow Rock.
Kakashi Hatake stopped in his tracks, sensing something, and squinted as he looked into the distance.
A green blur rushed toward them at full speed.
Kakashi's eyelids twitched, and without any hesitation, he turned and left.
However, he hadn't even taken two steps when the shouts behind him grew louder and louder as they approached from afar:
"My nemesis, where are you running off to?!"
Might Guy leaped past Kakashi, his arms outstretched like wings, blocking Kakashi's path.
Seeing Might Guy blocking his way, Kakashi put his hands in his pockets and said in a cold tone, "Get out of the way."
"Move aside?" Might Guy tilted his head, then his eyes lit up. "Is that an abbreviation for 'Let's begin our duel'? Kakashi, as expected of you! I'll take it, bring it on!"
"..." Kakashi's calm mind was slightly disturbed.
For some reason, he felt that he had experienced more emotional fluctuations than usual today.
"Let's talk about it next time," Kakashi shook his head and refused, "I need to train now."
"We'll talk about it next time"—this was the coping strategy he came up with after being challenged by Matt Kee hundreds of times.
As long as he makes excuses like this, Matt Kai will compromise and give up.
Because a stupid person's brain can't think of the problem of "there will be a next time".
however--
This time, Matt Kai did not make way.
"Then fight me! Physical combat is also a form of training!"
"?"
Kakashi glanced at Might Guy, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Who taught you that?"
"How did you know?!" Matt Kai gasped.
Kakashi astutely pointed out, "You can't come up with such a twisted logic."
How could an idiot like Matt Kai possibly come up with such a thing...?
"This isn't fallacy!" Matt Kay said. "This is sophistry!"
That's the real sophistry you're talking about...
If I'm not mistaken, this is a phrase that Matt Kai just learned.
Kakashi sighed almost imperceptibly: "So, who is it?"
"It's Ike-san!"
Might Guy pointed his index finger at the sun and called out a name that surprised Kakashi.
"Ike...san?" Kakashi asked uncertainly, "Is it Uchiha Ike?"
"Yes, yes, that's him!" Might Guy nodded repeatedly, then asked curiously, "Does Kakashi know Ike-san too?"
Kakashi fell silent.
He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt like the whole world was Uchiha Pond.
