Chapter 437 Fame
“We’re finally here. Although the distance is shorter than the previous overseas mission, the time spent on the road is actually more.” Obito complained as he looked at the tall Konoha gate in front of him.
In the past, they always walked on the road in an exercise manner. This time, due to serious injuries, they could not go as hard as usual, and the speed was much slower.
Kakashi looked at the gate of Konoha and his heart instantly felt much more relaxed.
He may not necessarily contribute the most on the battlefield, but he is definitely the one who consumes the most energy.
He believed that as the vice-captain, he had the responsibility to bring all the team members back safely. Every action was carefully considered and very exhausting.
"Akai, do you want to go home first, or go directly to the hospital with me?" Kakashi looked at Metkai after walking into Konoha and asked.
Although Muyue had a shadow clone to **** them, the shadow clone's chakra was limited. If it was used to use medical ninjutsu on Metkai, it would not be able to maintain itself, so Metkai still had to go to Konoha Hospital to recuperate.
The same goes for Kakashi, but he only needs to be hospitalized for a week.
"Go directly to the hospital. My father is still on the battlefield and there is no one at home now." Metkai quickly replied.
Kakashi nodded and prepared to go to Konoha Hospital with Metkai.
After going through a series of things, Kakashi has actually let go of a lot now, letting go of his past self and letting go of his deceased father, but this does not mean that Kakashi will like to be called Little White Fang.
The hospital ninja then remembered that he was still at work. He looked around guiltily and quickly helped Metkai and Kakashi complete the hospitalization procedures.
He doesn’t need to be anyone. He insists that the goal is to surpass Konoha White Fang as Hatake Kakashi, not to become the next Konoha White Fang.
If the protagonist of the latest issue of Konoha News is Mu Yue, then Kakashi is an important supporting role. Coupled with the identity of Kakashi's father, the discussion is even higher than that of Metkai, second only to Mu Yue.
Kakashi ignored Obito and calmly answered the hospital ninja's question.
He could tell that the words of the hospital ninja were not sarcastic, but Kakashi still felt that it was not a good title.
Nohara Lin clapped her hands lightly, with a bright smile on her face, "That's great, we all thought of it together."
“Let me see, let me see.”
Looking at Nohara Lin's tender eyes, Obito nodded subconsciously.
Then the four of them went to Konoha Hospital together.
Because of Obito's voice, the hospital ninja discovered that Obito Uchiha, Metkai and Rin Nohara were all here in the report.
"Let's all go together. You can check your health without being hospitalized." Nohara Lin said.
“By the way, since you guys are back, is Master Muyue also back?” the hospital ninja couldn’t help but ask.
After all, he didn't get this title, so Kakashi wasn't scolding him.
“My Fire Release is so handsome, so the title must be very domineering.”
The hospital ninja gave the newspaper to Kakashi very honestly. He had already read it, so it didn't matter if he gave it to him. A newspaper is not valuable.
"You have just come back from the front line. Now your deeds on the battlefield have been published by the Konoha newspaper and have spread throughout Konoha. Everyone says that Kakashi, you can become the next Konoha White Fang." The hospital ninja said with a smile.
“Hey, are you Hatake Kakashi? That little White Fang of Konoha.”
"I am indeed Hatake Kakashi, but not Konoha's White Fang."
As soon as the latest issue of Konoha News was published, Mu Yue instantly became the most discussed ninja in Konoha and even the Country of Fire, suppressing Orochimaru and Jiraiya.
But Obito finally closed his mouth when he saw the bright smile on Nohara Lin's face, and it wouldn't take long to go to the hospital together.
After completing the formalities, Kakashi stretched out his hand.
“Obito, what do you think?” After saying this, Nohara Rin looked at Obito.
"Indeed, Mr. White Fang did not have such a record when he was ten years old. It is really inappropriate to use Konoha's little White Fang as a title." The hospital ninja did not feel embarrassed, but followed Kakashi's words.
Words such as 'Enma', 'Vulcan' and 'Konoha's Fierce Tiger of Fire' appeared in Obito's mind.
Kakashi wordlessly pushed away the head that came up to him.
As soon as Kakashi got the newspaper, Obito couldn't help but put his head up to see the contents.
The ninja who handled Kakashi's hospitalization procedures looked at Kakashi's face and then looked at the newspaper next to him with a surprised expression.
Although Konoha White Fang finally committed suicide due to the failure of the mission and left a huge stain, he was a strong man who made a name for himself after all. Little Konoha White Fang does not contain any sarcasm, but is purely optimistic about Kakashi's future.
There is a limit to fishing, and it would be inappropriate to chat openly during working hours.
"Your taste in choosing titles is quite poor." Kakashi said bluntly.
"What are you thinking about? How could the official village newspaper staff give you a title?"
A strange expression appeared on Kakashi's face. What the **** is Konoha's little White Fang? It sounds too stupid.
“No, please complete the procedures as soon as possible.” Kakashi reminded.
“I’m laughing so hard, what kind of weird title is Konoha’s Little White Fang? Because Kakashi, aren’t you tall enough?”
Although Mu Yue was not a nobody in Konoha, he was not as strong as Yellow Flash in the public mind. This performance caused a great shock.
After all, Kakashi had the record of killing the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon when he was only ten years old. Even if he did not kill it alone, it was an achievement that he could be proud of.
“Please give me the newspaper as compensation for your work mistakes.”
“Please be sure not to report it.”
Obito laughed loudly.
Obito realized in hindsight that he had originally planned to go home directly to report to his grandma that he was safe.
Let alone getting a title, titles generally don't appear in Konoha newspapers unless the title is highly recognized.
His title of Little White Fang of Konoha is definitely not given by Konoha. It should be the result of chatting between people who have nothing to do.
“Then why do you have a title, even though it doesn’t sound very nice.” Obito asked in confusion.
"First of all, I didn't admit that this was my title, and secondly, having a title doesn't mean it was given by the village." Kakashi explained.
After arriving in the ward, Kakashi sat on the bed and opened the newspaper. Obito and others looked at the newspaper curiously.
Metkay and Nohara Rin were also curious about how their thrilling battle would be described.
“Defending the homeland, we achieved an unprecedented victory on the east coast battlefield, and the Kirigakure ninja troops suffered heavy losses!”
Kakashi saw the conspicuous line of characters on the masthead at first glance. Obviously, the content of the newspaper this time was describing the war on the battlefield where they were.
"The cruel and ferocious Kirigakure ninja took advantage of the lack of strength of the east coast defense line to invade the east coast of the Land of Fire. At first, our ninjas had to be at a disadvantage due to various reasons. However, under the leadership of troop commander Orochimaru, the situation on the east coast battlefield improved. Gradually turning from bad to good, in this process Konoha's outstanding Jonin Hanyu Mozuki played an indispensable role. Like a sharp knife, he killed many strong men in Kirigakure and obtained important information for us... ” ˆ ˆ ˆ Kakashi and the others are basically absent from the front pages, which are all about Mu Yue and Orochimaru, or photos on the battlefield.
Kakashi, who often reads the Konoha newspaper, was not surprised. The Konoha newspaper has always been like this. The good pages are about important figures and well-known strong people, and other characters in the incident will be introduced later.
“Why don’t we see our names? Forget about Teacher Muyue, why are there so many Orochimaru?” Obito couldn’t help complaining.
Obviously Orochimaru was not involved in this encounter, so he didn’t understand why Orochimaru’s name appeared.
Even under the leadership of Orochimaru, he has never spoken to Orochimaru.
Kakashi glanced outside, and then used his eyes to signal Metkai, who was closer to the door, to close the door.
This ward only has two beds, so you only have to worry about whether people outside will hear you.
“Lord Orochimaru is one of the legendary three ninjas and the commander of the ninja troops on the east coast battlefield. It’s better not to say such things next time.” Kakashi shook his head and said.
Kakashi certainly knew the reason. After all, Orochimaru was the commander of the battlefield. No matter what achievements they made, they could not avoid him.
But Kakashi knew that Obito would probably not understand it if he said it, so he just told him not to say it.
It is quite disrespectful to discuss Orochimaru based on Obito's identity and status. It would be unreasonable for Orochimaru's subordinates to beat Obito immediately after hearing this.
"Uncle Toad is not one of the three ninjas. He doesn't have so many things." Obito didn't understand.
Once on the grass ninja battlefield, he even complained about Jiraiya to his face.
Kakashi hesitated to speak. Obito had indeed offended Jiraiya, but Jiraiya obviously didn't take it to heart, so there was no problem.
However, people are different. Even if he doesn't know Orochimaru, just by looking at their faces and aura, Kakashi feels that Jiraiya and Orochimaru are very different.
"If you are told not to say anything, just don't say it. Just treat it as an order from the vice-captain." Kakashi thought for a while and said.
“Now that you are not on the battlefield and not on a mission, your status as deputy captain is no longer useful.”
Obito thought Kakashi was using chicken feathers as arrows.
"If you don't want to be assigned to do odd jobs in the next mission, you'd better listen to me more." Kakashi threatened unabashedly.
“Kakashi, you will regret it!” Obito’s face darkened.
He had no doubt that Kakashi would really do this, after all, most of their team's combat power was overflowing.
"I am the vice-captain." Kakashi said that he has the right to do whatever he wants.
Now Obito was honest and continued to read the newspaper quietly.
It was only when they saw the second half that they saw reports about them in a relatively peripheral position.
Kakashi and the others in the newspaper were described as genius ninjas who were young but had a strong will to fire. Even when they encountered powerful enemies like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, they did not abandon their companions and fought **** battles to protect the village. When they arrived, they teamed up with Matt Dai to repel the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and even killed the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon on the spot among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
Although Kakashi and his entire team were published in the Konoha newspaper, there was a slight gap in the description length.
Among them, Metkai had the most, followed by Obito and Kakashi who teamed up to kill the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon, then Shisui, and Nohara Lin mentioned less. As for Ebisu and Shiranui Genma, they only mentioned their names, not Personal description.
"No one should dare to underestimate my father now." Metkai felt a sense of pride as he looked at his father's description.
Maitedai's description is only slightly less lengthy.
“It’s too little. I feel like the task process is very briefly written.”
Obito looked at the praise he received from his newspaper and felt a little unsatisfied.
"If you are the one who killed Minazuki Han and four members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, then you will have more space." Kakashi said calmly.
There is only so much space in a newspaper, and given their current status, it is already a miracle that they get so much space.
"One day I will let Konoha Newspaper describe my deeds in the best position!" Obito said with great interest.
He didn't believe that he would not be able to make the headlines of Konoha newspapers by becoming Hokage and ending the war.
"I hope your plan is not to become a writer for the Konoha newspaper and then secretly replace the content." Kakashi put the newspaper away.
Nohara Lin covered her mouth and chuckled, "Kakashi, don't underestimate Obito, even he wouldn't be able to do such a thing."
Although Nohara Lin was speaking for him, Obito felt strange.
"That's true, he probably wants to become Hokage and be published in the newspapers." Kakashi said as he lay on the bed.
Obito was shocked. Could it be that he still had the ninjutsu to see through his heart?
As if he had seen through Obito's inner thoughts, Kakashi said bluntly: "You are so understanding."
Obito scratched his hair and Kakashi could think of what Obito was thinking, because Obito's inner thoughts were all written on his face, and it was difficult for Kakashi not to know.
Finally, he left the hospital as if he was running away.
"It would be great if there was really a ninjutsu that could see through the heart." Obito couldn't help but think on the way home.
People's thoughts are really elusive, especially those of girls. Obito often couldn't figure out what Nohara Rin was thinking.
If he could have the ninjutsu to see through his inner thoughts, he would be able to make Nohara Rin happy every day.
“Grandma, I’m back.” Obito shouted angrily after returning home.
Hearing this familiar voice, grandma walked slowly to the entrance and smiled happily when she saw Obito's face.
“You are hungry, grandma will make you something to eat.”
After carefully looking at Obito, grandma walked to the kitchen.
“Hehe, it’s true.” Obito smiled and accepted grandma’s kindness.
Although Mu Yue’s cooking is delicious, he will miss his grandma’s cooking if he doesn’t eat it for a while.
“Obito of our family has made a lot of achievements. Yesterday, the clan leader came to our door to give you something and said it was a reward for you, saying that you are an outstanding Uchiha.”
There was a touch of pride in grandma's words. She had raised Obito by herself since childhood.
Although she didn’t read the newspaper and didn’t know what Obito did, it was definitely a good thing.
“In addition, the patriarch also said that if you come back, you can go find him.”
