Under Qingchuan's watchful gaze.
A, obediently sat down where he was.
"Then, please!"
Qingchuan raised an eyebrow.
"We're all family, no need to be so polite."
As she spoke, her little hand was already on Jia's shoulder.
The light from the return path shone on A.
The Wood Release boy enjoyed the warmth, his gaze occasionally glancing to the side.
I see.
This girl... is she the reason Kakashi became like that?
A seemed to understand something.
"So, what are you planning to do now?"
While treating Jia, Qingchuan asked.
The moment Aokawa carried Kakashi out, he had already made up his mind.
The Wood Release Boy A is about to disappear.
Instead, it will be the diligent and responsible working person, Yamato.
Aokawa has a very high opinion of Yamato...
Of course, it would be even better if I could recruit some followers!
"I...I don't know."
"Shall we go back to the base first?"
A's gaze was clearly somewhat evasive.
The mission failed, and he didn't know how to explain it back home.
In that situation, what he should have done was to gouge out Kakashi's eyes.
Then... kill the girl in front of you?
A doesn't know.
Anyway, it seems that none of his companions who came with him have survived.
Only this girl is left here.
He didn't dare ask what exactly happened...
"If you go back to the root, you won't be able to explain yourself, will you?"
Qingchuan rolled his eyes and slowly said.
"Those Root members told me before they died that you're going back with three Sharingan eyes... right?"
A lowered his head and did not answer.
The cunning Qingchuan raised an eyebrow again, deliberately slowing down his reply, while continuing to deceive.
"How about... you take me back to the Root?"
Qingchuan's words were astonishing.
A immediately looked up and saw a small face with a sweet smile.
"Wh...what?"
"You heard me," Aokawa said with a smile. "Take me back, and Lord Danzo won't make things difficult for you."
"And... they probably won't make things difficult for Kakashi-senpai anymore, right?"
"Kakashi-senpai is a pitiful person. He is devoted to Konoha. I don't want him to continue to be targeted."
"Take me away, I hope this will end all of this."
Green Tea Qingchuan is back online.
A stared wide-eyed, looking as if he couldn't believe his ears.
He never expected that the girl in front of him would say such a thing...
No wonder Kakashi was willing to give everything for it!
I see...
A girl who is willing to sacrifice herself.
Is it all just so that their companions won't be targeted anymore?
I looked up and gazed again at this magical girl named Haruko.
A's gaze was no longer constrained and confused.
He seemed to have understood.
"Don't worry, Uchiha... Haruko."
A's tone was firm and forceful, but when it came to addressing the girl, he didn't know how to phrase it.
"I'll handle things with the adults."
"Handle it?" Aokawa looked at Jia with a puzzled expression. "It's gotten to this point. Lord Danzo will definitely not let it go."
"Are you confident that you can persuade Lord Danzo to give up Kakashi-senpai's Sharingan under these circumstances?"
What an innocent Wood Release boy.
I guess he's planning to go back and tell a lie to get away with it?
Qingchuan's bright eyes had already seen through everything...
A immediately lowered his head again, his hard-won momentum vanishing.
"I...I'm not very confident."
"But I won't take Haruko to the Root!"
"I don't want to disappoint Kakashi-senpai again..."
A's tone was full of inner conflict.
Qingchuan's gaze gradually steadied.
The journey continues.
The atmosphere gradually fell silent.
The scene at this moment was rather peculiar.
Kakashi lay on the ground, still unconscious.
The Wood Release boy sits on the ground, racking his brains for a solution.
Responding with a smile that gradually became more and more unrestrained, like a green tea b*tch...
"How about... you come back to the Anbu with us?"
Sudden.
Qingchuan made his suggestion.
In the original work, before A joined the Anbu, there was actually a scene where Kakashi went to get reinforcements.
The Third Hokage arrived at Root with a group of ANBU underlings, confronting Root's leader Danzo and vying for control of the Wood Release underlings.
Qingchuan decided to skip this step and directly trick the Wood Release boy into going back!
Taking on followers can wait.
maybe.
He could still be credited with a major achievement, so it's not impossible that he could be given a few days off to train like crazy.
"Return to... ANBU?!"
A turned his head away, his brain crashing again.
How should I reply?
He's from the Root!
Betraying your roots, what's the difference between that and death!
etc.
A seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly turned strange.
"I heard that Kakashi-senpai used to be a member of Root, and he went to join the Hokage after carrying out a mission he didn't want to do."
Qingchuan spoke slowly, his eyes constantly scanning Jia's expression and changes in gaze.
There's hope!
"If Kakashi-senpai wakes up and finds that you've made the same decision as him..."
They should be very happy, right?
Qingchuan tempted him.
A's eyes began to show extreme inner turmoil.
He knew everything about Kakashi's past.
Isn't he the traitor the adults are talking about...?
Why Kakashi betrayed them remains a mystery to the adults.
Perhaps it was also a mission to assassinate a fellow village ninja...
While A was struggling with his own thoughts, he also secretly glanced at Haruko beside him.
The cunning Qingchuan immediately returned an encouraging look...
a long time.
Kakashi's breathing became more even.
A's conflicted heart gradually turned into a desperate gamble...
never mind!
Since this is Kakashi-senpai's decision!
Following in Kakashi-senpai's footsteps... that should be the right thing to do!
and...
Haruko seems to really want him to do that, doesn't she?
Then let's go for it!
"Haruko, you're right…"
Suddenly, A stood up, silently walked to Kakashi's side, and carried Kakashi on his shoulder.
"As long as I go back, no matter what, the adults will definitely not stop hunting down Kakashi and Haruko."
"I hope... that such a thing will happen again."
"I can stand beside you!"
