Chapter 175 Get Out of My World
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe, trying to organize his thoughts.
Haruko Hayama is indeed dead. According to the three ninjas who returned at the time, her body flew away right in front of them, so there was no body left.
The tombstone placed at the memorial to the hero was merely a trace of her existence, but later they all forgot about her, and even the name on the tombstone disappeared, turning it into an unmarked monument.
That's truly a fantasy...
Haruko, a three-year-old wanderer, appeared in Uchiha territory and was taken in and raised by Fugaku Uchiha, just like when he first met Haruko.
They have no memory of them, and they have no memory of her either.
If Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't inexplicably started spending time at the memorial monument lately, he wouldn't have even run into Haruko, nor would he have remembered any of this.
When I first met her at the memorial, I only had a strong premonition. It wasn't until I heard her call out that name that everything was cleared of the gloom and reappeared in my mind.
Is it some forbidden resurrection technique? Or is it a space-time ninjutsu involving reincarnation?
After returning from the Uchiha territory, Hiruzen Sarutobi thought a lot, but he still had no clue about Haruko's reappearance.
We can put aside their origins for now; the most important thing right now is to snatch Haruko away from the Uchiha clan.
It's not a matter of stealing; Haruko was originally his family. It should be said that he brought her back!
But judging from the Uchiha's expression, getting them to let go is a problem...
Hiruzen Sarutobi was brought back to his senses by the knocking on the door. He responded with "Come in," and the door slowly opened, revealing a tall figure walking in.
"Teacher, you wanted to see me?"
Jiraiya walked to a spot not far from him and sat down, wondering what had happened in Konoha this time.
Hiruzen Sarutobi brought up another topic first, pretending to be concerned about him, "I heard you've been traveling and training abroad, how's it going?"
"Not bad, but I still haven't found the answer I'm looking for." Jiraiya laughed heartily. "I did come across quite a few fine wines, though. I'll bring some for you to try next time, Master."
Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment and told Jiraiya that it was indeed the best solution at the moment, as Jiraiya was not only Haruko's former teammate but also very powerful.
Tsunade is too emotional, and Orochimaru is too extreme. At present, he is the only one who can properly handle Haruko's situation.
“Haruko…she’s still alive.” Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at him, not missing a single reaction.
Jiraiya scratched his head and asked, "Haruko? Is she someone you know, sir?"
really……
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his pipe, his expression somber. He, like them, had forgotten everything about her.
Knowing that further discussion would be pointless, Hiruzen Sarutobi directly gave him a task: "It just so happens that this year's graduating class of the Ninja Academy is also going to be divided into classes. Go and ask a girl from the Uchiha clan named Haruko what she thinks."
"What the hell?" Jiraiya pointed to himself, not quite understanding.
After receiving a nod of approval from Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya hesitated before leaving the room.
There's no need to specifically ask students' opinions when dividing students into classes, let alone asking just one student.
Is the teacher trying to use connections?
But no matter how special they are, it's impossible to give the Uchiha special treatment, right?
Jiraiya was completely baffled, thinking that perhaps Hiruzen Sarutobi had some other deeper meaning, and continued walking towards the Uchiha territory.
Go early and come back early for drinks!
...
"Hey you guys, why do you keep coming to my house?"
Kakashi Hatake, with a long face, carried a tray and handed out the teacups to them one by one.
Haruko took the teacup, took a sip, and replied in a pretentious manner, "We've come to check on how Kakashi is doing!"
Obito Uchiha snorted, "You talk as if anyone wants to come looking for you."
"Sorry Kakashi, I'm always bothering you." Rin Nohara, who seemed the most innocent among them, was the only one who felt apologetic.
Kakashi Hatake stared blankly at Obito Uchiha and Haruko.
These two are absolute bullies!
But when Kakashi Hatake sat down, he clearly felt the atmosphere freeze for a moment, or rather, only Haruko and Rin Nohara felt that froze.
Despite their skillful concealment, Kakashi Hatake noticed that while they pretended to chat, their eyes kept glancing at Obito Uchiha, who was still laughing without noticing anything.
What are they doing...?
Kakashi Hatake calmly picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"Obito, the tea's getting cold." Haruko reminded Obito helplessly as he continued talking excitedly.
Obito Uchiha noticed that the three of them were looking at him, so he quickly responded verbally and picked up his teacup as if to drink.
Now!
Haruko put down her teacup and pounced on Uchiha Obito, knocking him to the ground as his eyes widened.
With a loud thud as he hit the floor, and the sound of water splashing from a teacup, Obito Uchiha cried out in pain.
"What are you doing..." Obito Uchiha released the teacup he had instinctively gripped when he was tackled, letting it fall to the ground and roll away.
His face and collar were completely soaked with water, and as he stood up, water dripped down, soaking his undergarments.
He was about to get angry, but when Obito Uchiha sat up slightly and saw Haruko in his arms with bright eyes looking at him, his mind went blank.
"You...you..."
Obito Uchiha was rambling incoherently, trying to say something, but he couldn't remember what he originally wanted to say.
So Kakashi Hatake watched as the idiot's face flushed red, and despite his embarrassment, he couldn't take his eyes off Haruko.
Kakashi Hatake: ...Get those two out of my world.
Haruko suppressed her secret joy and asked in a flustered manner, "Obito, are you alright? I'm just so happy!"
"I...I'm fine. You're the one who's happy. What are you so happy about?"
Obito Uchiha listened to her reply: "I'm just happy that it's so great to be with Obito!"
His heart pounded, and Obito pursed his lips, trying to suppress his overwhelming joy. The sticky feeling from the tea warmed his entire body.
Finally, Obito cleared his throat and awkwardly replied, "Of course, who else but me could stand your personality!"
Haruko, attacked by the tsundere, immediately put on a fake smile. "Obito, do you want to go change your clothes?"
Only after she reminded him did Obito Uchiha begin to check himself; his shirt was almost completely soaked.
Rin Nohara, a little worried and a little guilty, reminded him from the side, "If you don't change your clothes quickly, Obito might catch a cold."
After getting off Obito Uchiha, Haruko excitedly turned her gaze to Kakashi Hatake, who was watching the show. "Then I'll trouble Kakashi to borrow Obito's clothes!"
"Hmm...that's no problem."
Kakashi Hatake met her obviously malicious smile and silently lit a candle for Obito Uchiha, who was blinded by her beauty.
Although I don't know what they're up to, the fact that Haruko Uchiha has infiltrated them is definitely not a good thing.
Haruko chuckled as she tricked Obito into going to the bathroom to take off his clothes, and even Rin Nohara couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
Ignoring their strange looks, Kakashi Hatake went back to his room to find a change of clothes. The moment he opened the closet door, he finally understood what they were up to.
Haruko heard the approaching running sounds, followed by Kakashi Hatake's incredulous expression.
"What did you do to my clothes?!"
Rin Nohara made an apologetic gesture, "I'm sorry, Kakashi, because Haruko said this was Obito's life wish, so..."
"So you guys replaced my entire wardrobe with pink dresses?" Kakashi Hatake roared, finally losing his temper. "What does this have to do with me?!"
