Chapter 48 You seem a little weak
"That's great."
Might Guy sat beside Kakashi, looking at the scenery before him, and seemed to have a rare soft and sentimental quality about him.
"Not long ago, when I stood on the Hokage Rock and saw this scene, I thought that this was probably the result that Konoha was pursuing after winning the war."
"..."
Kakashi remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
Although the ninjas, accustomed to war, were somewhat unaccustomed to such a peaceful scene.
However, people certainly don't like the feeling of a war that seems to be going on forever.
That brutal war caused people to lose so much.
Yes, there are too many.
Obito, Rin, and Minato-sensei...
"Kakashi."
Kakashi turned around and saw Guy clenching his fists, saying firmly, "I will protect all of this!"
Kakashi lowered his head.
"Even if it means dying for it!"
Minato died protecting the village.
"Because everyone in the village is a companion!"
People who don't cherish their companions are worse than trash!
Obito said this.
"And Kakashi! You are my comrade too! I will protect you with my life!"
A sincere statement without any falsehood.
Kakashi looked up at Guy, who was staring at him intently with unwavering eyes.
"...what ever."
Upon hearing this, Might Guy smiled, showing his teeth, and gave a thumbs-up.
"Then it's settled! Kakashi, I will protect you. You are my eternal rival! And my eternal comrade!"
"..."
So what exactly is he worried about?
Early in the morning, Kakashi followed Guy, who had stayed at his house overnight, and secretly followed him after Guy left his house.
Then, they saw Guy and met up with the Third Hokage on the banks of the Konoha River.
So, just as Might Guy said, he received guidance in physical techniques from three generations of masters.
That's for sure; Might Guy isn't a guy who likes to lie.
His worries were completely unnecessary.
Kakashi turned around and prepared to leave.
"Since you're here, don't leave."
Kakashi froze, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
That makes sense. How could the Third Generation Lord not have noticed his arrival?
And so, not only Guy, but Kakashi also appeared before the Third Hokage.
The third generation carefully examined the person in front of them, who was famous throughout the village and had broken the promotion record.
The fourth-generation disciple, and the son of White Fang.
He graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of five, became a Chunin at the age of six, and a Jonin at the age of twelve.
His resume can be described as brilliant and dazzling.
However, in reality, the eyes of this genius ninja who is only fourteen years old are lazy and lifeless, his mentality is scattered, and there is a kind of decadence that anyone can see.
He can be described as a prime example of despondency.
Sure enough, his mentality was the problem. This is not surprising, as Kakashi was a highly regarded genius in the village, and the Third Hokage had a lot of memories of him.
He faced the tragedy of his father's suicide due to the condemnation of the entire village when he was young.
During the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, his close friend Obito died, leaving him with a Sharingan.
Shortly after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, another companion, Rin, had the Three-Tails sealed inside her.
To prevent Konoha from being damaged by the Three-Tails inside her, she deliberately allowed Kakashi's Lightning Blade to pierce her chest.
Then, not long ago, the Nine-Tails' attack and the deaths of Minato and his wife caused Kakashi to lose two of his beloved mentors.
Under such successive blows, Kakashi Hatake became increasingly dejected.
Even the most talented person will likely have their future achievements limited if they become depressed.
Turning his head, he saw Might Guy looking at Kakashi with concern, and then looking at him expectantly.
The third generation took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled.
"Come with me, everyone."
It is, after all, another fine gem in the village. Even if this gem has some flaws, it is not impossible to polish it properly.
As the founder and elder of Konoha, he did indeed have a responsibility to properly train these outstanding disciples and juniors.
Might Guy was overjoyed.
He grabbed Kakashi's hand.
He grabbed Kakashi and followed without saying a word.
Kakashi was thus passively led along.
Of course, since all three generations of elders had instructed him to follow, he wouldn't actually stay behind.
Might Guy's actions were completely unnecessary.
Despite harboring such thoughts in his heart, Kakashi did not voice them aloud.
And so, Kakashi arrived at the Third Hokage's new home.
"Nono, please examine Might Guy and help him repair the hidden injuries in his body."
"Yes," Nono replied with a smile.
Looking at Might Guy, the famous rare beast of Konoha, with his thick eyebrows, big eyes, shiny watermelon head, and clear, passionate eyes, he couldn't be more conspicuous.
She knew, of course, how 'hellish' Mighty's daily training was, and that it was only natural for him to have hidden injuries from training in that way.
Rather, the fact that it only suffered some minor injuries after such terrifying training is more indicative of just how monstrous the physique of this Konoha's rare beast truly is!
As a medical ninja, to be honest, he was also somewhat curious about the physique of such a monster.
"Please come with me," she said with a smile as she approached Might Guy.
Please help me!
Might Guy bowed politely.
Then, following the physician designated by the third-generation master, they entered a side room.
Kakashi was left alone to face the Third Hokage.
Kakashi was a little nervous.
After all, he was the Third Hokage, and he hadn't been formally summoned, so he hadn't disturbed the Third Hokage's guidance to Kai.
I wonder if this will displease the third generation?
"You seem a bit weak," the Third Generation said.
"..." Kakashi's forehead was sweating slightly.
"He is mentally unstable, weak and scattered, and lately he has been having trouble concentrating.
He may even develop erectile dysfunction."
Kakashi couldn't hold back any longer.
He's a grown man, after all; how could he possibly tolerate hearing that?
Under the influence of the Third Hokage's 'old Chinese medicine' tone and the added advantage of his status as a third-generation heir, Kakashi truly panicked.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Third Hokage! What should I do?!"
The third generation took a drag of his cigarette, his expression grave.
"The reason you are weak is probably that your body can't handle the Sharingan, which has drained it."
Kakashi's eyes widened.
He certainly understood the burden the Sharingan placed on him; he had experienced it firsthand.
Was he supposed to give up the Sharingan?
But it was something Obito had left him! Even if the price of bearing Obito's Sharingan was impotence, he didn't want to give up the Sharingan that Obito had left him.
So, after a slight struggle in his eyes, Kakashi made up his mind.
"Third Hokage," he bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance. I will never give up Obito's Sharingan!"
Good boy.
The three generations sighed inwardly.
Even if you feel dejected, if you still hold onto a firm belief in your heart, then there is still hope.
If Kakashi had given up the Sharingan under the threat of impotence... while it's not incomprehensible, the Third Hokage would have been somewhat disappointed.
