[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
On the screen, the dream sequence slowly unfolds.
Sakumo Hatake reached out and ruffled young Kakashi's silver hair, but a hint of weariness and helplessness seemed to be hidden deep in his smile.
He sighed softly and said slowly, "Kakashi, can't you calm down?"
Kakashi stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene before him, and it took him a long time to recover from his shock.
His throat felt blocked, and he opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
Just then, a passionate young voice suddenly rang out from the courtyard wall: "Kakashi, let's stake our youth and settle this once and for all!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice and tone, Kakashi's body trembled slightly; he knew who it was without even turning around.
He slowly turned around and saw a boy in a green tight-fitting training suit riding on his own courtyard wall, waving his fist and loudly challenging him.
Upon seeing this, Kakashi couldn't help but show an expression that was both surprised and intrigued.
The sight of his former companions in their youth brought a touch of nostalgia to his heart, but more than anything, it evoked a long-lost sense of amusement.
He found it quite amusing to see Matt Kai like this.
"Go ahead! Don't keep them waiting."
Sakumo Hatake patted Kakashi's back gently and said, "I happen to have some things to take care of right now."
"Ah... yes."
Kakashi paused for a moment, then nodded and responded.
He never expected that he would suddenly return to his childhood more than a decade ago. He was almost completely unprepared and felt somewhat dazed.
It's good to take this opportunity to calm down and sort out your chaotic thoughts.
Kakashi strode towards Might Guy outside the courtyard wall and calmly said, "Let's go."
Young Might Guy was surprised and delighted that Kakashi would actually accept his challenge.
He excitedly pumped his fist and shouted, "Good!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he got so excited that he lost his balance and fell off the wall, landing flat on his back.
Seeing this, Kakashi couldn't help but chuckle, shaking his head slightly and saying with a wry smile, "As expected of Guy!"
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
After saying that, Kakashi leaped over the courtyard wall and landed next to Might Guy.
In the audience, having witnessed Might Guy's embarrassing moments as a teenager, the three students of Class 7 all turned to look at the real-life Might Guy beside them, their expressions indescribably strange.
Naruto couldn't help but retort, "Was this how Thick Eyebrows-sensei dressed when he was a kid?!"
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Faced with three meaningful gazes, Might Guy could only awkwardly force out his signature big smile, give a thumbs up, and reveal a set of gleaming white teeth: "This is youth!"
Even so, the three little ones from Class 7 all wore expressions of embarrassment, and a string of black lines appeared in their minds.
It seems that Teacher Kai has always had this style of art since he was a child.
The scene shifts back to the dream world.
Kakashi and Might Guy walked side by side toward a grove of trees on the edge of the village. The lush trees along the way cast dappled shadows in the morning light, and the air in the grove was filled with the fresh scent of earth and grass.
A gentle breeze rustled through the leaves.
A few clear bird calls rose and fell in the distance, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
Along the way, Matt Kai talked non-stop about what he would compete in later, rattling off several challenges on the spot, his enthusiasm running high.
Kakashi gave a perfunctory reply, his mind elsewhere.
His gaze was fixed ahead, while his mind raced through the details of the dream.
Without a doubt, this dream was completely different from the previous ones; it was a whole new world.
The most obvious difference is that the father is still alive...
Kakashi subconsciously speculated.
Could it be that the point at which the dream and reality diverged was because the father did not choose suicide?
After all, the difference between the last dream world and reality was that Minato-sensei was still alive...
Thinking about this, Kakashi's feelings became complicated.
While they were pondering, the two had already arrived at a secluded grove of trees outside the village.
The trees all around cast swaying shadows, and a gentle breeze rustled through the leaves.
A few clear birdsongs rose and fell in the distance, and the air in the forest was quiet and peaceful.
"Kakashi, sparring is never fun. Let's try something different!"
Matt Kai suddenly stopped, raised his fist with high spirits, and made a loud suggestion.
His large eyes, beneath his thick eyebrows, gleamed with excitement, as if he had envisioned an excellent match.
"Oh? What are we competing in?"
Kakashi raised an eyebrow slightly, and before Might Guy could answer, he suddenly unbuckled his belt and pulled open his shirt collar.
Kakashi was taken aback at first, then remembered something from the past, and couldn't help but chuckle with a dark expression.
Of course he remembers.
When Ah Kai and I were young, we competed in all sorts of bizarre events.
Compete in speed, physical fitness, martial arts skills, and even eating ramen...
And then there's this current situation...
Chapter 101 Father, a person who doesn't cherish his companions is worse than trash!
Thinking about this, he really didn't know what to say, and could only look up at the sky in silence.
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Just as Kakashi was shaking his head in a somewhat amused and exasperated manner, he paused, suddenly realizing a serious problem.
He wasn't the only one having this dream!
Outside of the dream, those three little devils from Class 7 are glued to the screen watching the show!
Upon thinking of this, Kakashi felt a chill run down his spine and knew he was in trouble. He quickly coughed a few times and interrupted, "Cough cough—who wants to see your little acorn! Hurry up and put your clothes on!"
Might Guy froze upon hearing this, his face flushing red. He hurriedly pulled up his pants and angrily yelled at Kakashi, "Kakashi!!!"
in the audience.
The three young spectators once again turned their gazes to Matt Kai, their expressions even more subtle than before.
Unexpectedly, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes...
When I was a kid, I actually challenged Kakashi-sensei to a contest of this kind of thing!
"I never imagined that Guy-sensei would compete with Kakashi-sensei in this kind of thing when they were kids..."
Sakura blushed and muttered incredulously, "I couldn't tell at all!"
Matt Kai felt his face burning from being stared at by several strange gazes, wishing he could disappear into the ground.
He was watching with great interest, hoping to see Kakashi's embarrassing past.
Unexpectedly, his dark past was exposed to the students in the blink of an eye.
Matt Kai gave a strained thumbs-up and gave a dry laugh: "This...this is youth too!"
……
The tense atmosphere that had just been palpable on the screen vanished instantly.
Suddenly, young Might Guy let out a long sigh of relief, walked up to Kakashi, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a simple smile, "This is the Kakashi I know! You've been silent the whole way here, and I was worried."
"What are you worried about?" Kakashi frowned slightly and asked subconsciously.
Mitchell scratched his head and stammered, "I'm just worried about... what the villagers will think, you know..."
Kakashi suddenly recalled the expression on Sakumo Hatake's face as he sighed softly.
A strong sense of crisis suddenly welled up in my heart: Could it be?!
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
"not good!"
Kakashi's expression changed drastically. Without thinking, he turned around and became a blur, sprinting towards home, leaving Might Guy, who was still standing there bewildered, far behind.
Kakashi pushed his speed to its limit, and a silver blur flashed across the village.
He would sometimes run swiftly along the streets and alleys, and sometimes leap onto the rooftops in a few bounds, traversing rooftops and walls, stirring up large clouds of dust and fallen leaves wherever he went.
Occasionally, pedestrians along the roadside were startled by the sudden gust of wind and took a few steps back, then began to whisper among themselves: "Isn't that Konoha's White Fang's son...?"
"I heard his dad messed up a big mission..."
The few words that reached Kakashi's ears only intensified his anxiety and unease.
In the audience, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno were all startled.
They looked at each other, completely bewildered.
"What's wrong with Kakashi-sensei? Why did he suddenly start running?"
Sakura asked nervously.
Might Guy watched Kakashi's departing figure on the screen, his smile slowly fading, his expression turning serious.
He sighed softly and said to the three children in a deep voice, "Alas... Here's the thing, do you know the story of Kakashi's father—Konoha's White Fang, Sakumo Hatake?"
The three young viewers in front of the screen immediately perked up their ears and listened intently.
Kakashi's father, Sakumo Hatake, was a master ninja who struck fear into the hearts of the entire ninja world and was known as the "White Fang of Konoha".
