Chapter 244 - 244 Summer Festival
Chapter 244 – 244 Summer Festival
The Chunin exam officially ended, and although there were twists and turns in the middle, it was still completed.
Konoha's Shinobi did not leave Kirigakure immediately, but stayed for a few more days to discuss the matters concerning the alliance.
Kakashi used Shinobi Eagle to send the news of the discussion back to Konoha, and Sandaime and the elder councils discussed about this as soon as they got the news.
Naturally, the time they needed to determine the result is taking a few days.
At this few days, Kakashi and Mei are also considered to be spending time together, and they get along very happily.
Of course, apart from the two, no one else knew about this.
With the two identities, it is unrealistic for them to be brazenly together.
Happy times always pass quickly, and the final result of the discussion finally determined.
Inside the Mizukage Office, Mei and Kakashi argued for the best interests of their villages. And no one could see that these two were actually lovers.
In the end, both parties signed the alliance treaty that got the best benefit for both of the villages.
The signing of the treaty means that the day to return to Konoha is also on the agenda.
Although both of them are not willing to separate, they also know that it is not forever.
Konoha's group of Shinobi left Kirigakure in a proud manner, and under the escort of Kirigakure, they came to the Blue River Hill City and took the boat back home.
On the boat, Kakashi holds a red jade stone in his hand, which is a parting gift from Terumi Mei.
Kakashi puts it in his arms and feels the faint warmth.
"Wait for me."
On the high mountain in the distance of the Blue River Hill City, Mei looked into the distance alone, holding the red jade stone in her hand.
The difference is that there is a small black dart mark on the jade. If someone didn't look carefully, they won't notice it at all.
"Kakashi, I will be waiting for you."
Mei said with a gentle smile, gently pinched the jade stone in her hand, and finally put it in her arms as well.
As the sun sets, in the afterglow, the boat fades away, and finally disappears on the endless sea.
A few days later, Konoha.
Sandaime led some people to wait at the gate of Konoha.
Suddenly, an Anbu appeared in front of Sandaime.
"Hokage-sama, Hatake Kakashi's team who has gone to Kirigakure has entered the Konoha's inner territory and is expected to arrive in ten minutes."
Hearing the reports, Sandaime then said with a laugh: "Good, you can go."
"Yes! Hokage-sama!"
Not long after, there was a silhouette in the distance, silver-white hair, green vest, and Konoha's forehead protector covering his left eye.
And behind him is a team of dozens of people.
"We are back."
Kakashi looks at the gate of Konoha, with a faint smile.
'It feels so good to go home.'
Kakashi sits lazily on the stair in front of his courtyard at the Hatake Clan Residence, and didn't move.
A pair of dead fish eyes looked listlessly at the falling cherry blossoms in front of the courtyard.
"Ah, the days of vacation are so boring."
Kakashi lay on the wooden floor in front of the door, feeling a little listless.
After returning to Konoha, Kakashi got a few busy days, and then he got a vacation.
It's just that maybe that he had done a lot of things recently, and after getting a vacation all of a sudden, Kakashi didn't know what to do so he simply lie down at his home.
Just as Kakashi was lying down and was about to fall asleep, a figure broke into Kakashi's courtyard.
"Kakashi-senpai, you are too lazy."
Kakashi opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the person who arrived. He then said, "Tenzo, what's wrong? Is something wrong? I'm on vacation today."
"Senpai, I also took a vacation today. I didn't come to you to do a mission."
"Is that so." Kakashi sat up, stretched out his body and said, "So, why are you coming over?"
"Senpai, there is a summer festival today. Are you planning to just lie down like this for your vacation?"
"Summer festival?"
Kakashi was a little more sober when he heard Tenzo's words, and he saw that Tenzo is wearing a kimono at this moment, which makes him looked very different from his usual image.
"Yeah. Senpai, since you are bored by yourself, it is better for you to go to the summer festival with us."
"Us? Are you going to go to Yugao and Hayate?"
"Yeah, they are lovers, and I am alone, I am going to be like a third wheel if I go with them by myself, so I want Senpai to be a third wheel with me."
Kakashi showed his dead fish eyes and said: "Tenzo, it's not good to disturb the young couple. But, I like it, wait for me, I will change clothes now."
Tenzo couldn't help but smile after hearing this. He knew that Kakashi would have such a bad taste, so he comes over and invite him.
Kakashi walked into his room, took off his casual clothes, and put on the kimono he hadn't worn for a long time.
"Okay, let's go."
Kakashi, who had changed his kimono, took off his forehead protector, revealing the scar on his left eye.
But it didn't give people a fierce feeling, but a special kind of handsome.
'What a handsome man!'
Following Tenzo, Kakashi soon saw Yugao and Hayate waiting at the entrance of the summer festival.
The two also took off the original clothes and put on the kimono.
At this moment, they are not Shinobi, but just ordinary civilians.
"Senpai, why are you here?"
"Ah, I heard that Tenzo become a third wheel, so I came over to accompany him. He is really pitiful by himself."
Yugao and Hayate looked at each other and couldn't help but blush a little.
"What, Senpai, don't listen to Tenzo," said Yugao.
Hayate touched his hair awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Okay, let's go in."
The summer festival is Konoha's biggest event during the summer season.
It starts at 3 pm and lasts until 3 am.
There are various activities, such as goldfish fishing, water balloons fishing, toss the ring, etc. There are also various snacks, such as yakisoba, takoyaki, taiyaki, marshmallows, apple candy and so on.
At night, there is a firework show, which is extremely romantic.
It is precisely because of this romance that summer festivals have become a good time for men and women to confess at each other.
Kakashi looks at the couple who came and goes, and suddenly missed Mei.
Looking at Tenzo who was on the side, he couldn't help but feel a bit resentful.
Just as Kakashi was in a trance, there was a shout in the distance.
"Give it back, my mask will not be sold to you!"
Then, a blond child was pushed out and fell to the ground.
Then, the other two children rushed out of the store and helped him up.
It is Naruto, Karin and Jugo.
Jugo helped Naruto stand up and asked softly, "Are all right Naruto?"
Naruto shook his head, but the sadness in his eyes was fully revealed.
Karin felt angry when she saw this, and shouted at the boss: "If you don't want sell, just don't sell it! Why are you pushing people! It's really annoying!"
"Hmph, don't let me see this nasty kid again! Go away!"
The boss looked at Naruto with eyes full of disgust.
