Maitkai ran away crying again, not even taking the big bag of chestnuts with him.

Looking at Zhang Miao, who was eating chestnuts on the stool as if he was nothing, the corners of Kakashi's eyes suddenly twitched several times.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Miao nodded, and then handed him the chestnuts in his hand, "Do you want to eat chestnuts?" It's sweet, don't eat it and waste it! ”

Kakashi: "......"

That chestnut belongs to someone else's Maitkai! After you ran away from other people's anger, is it really good to eat other people's chestnuts as a matter of course?

There are too many places to complain, but he doesn't know where to start, and looking at Zhang Miao, who handed the chestnuts to him with a sincere face, Kakashi suddenly sighed.

"Well, let's go!"

"Oh!"

Now that Zhang Miao is used to being carried by Kakashi, he doesn't feel any shame in being carried by a thirteen-year-old boy.

He hummed an unknown ditty as he held the bag of chestnuts from Maitkai and gnawed on them.

"Click...... Hmm, these chestnuts are really good, Kakashi, don't you really want two? ”

"No!" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, a smile appeared on Kakashi's face, "Ryunosuke, have your upper teeth already grown?" ”

"No, I use lower teeth, and it is estimated that it will take three months for the front teeth to erupt, so let's use them first!"

“……”

Seeing Zhang Miao indifferently pick up a chestnut again and throw it into his mouth, a trace of helplessness suddenly flashed on Kakashi's face.

This guy doesn't look like a child under a year old, are all the whirlpools such freaks?

Thinking of this, Kakashi shook his head suddenly, and after throwing those nonsensical thoughts out of his mind, he asked Zhang Miao with some seriousness, "Ryunosuke, do you hate Kai?" ”

If it was before, Kakashi would not have asked such a question at all, but the death of Obito in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge changed Kakashi's outlook on life again, and he became more valuing his companions.

Although Maitkai did annoy him a little at times, the other party's efforts and perseverance did impress him to a certain extent and gain his approval, so Kakashi didn't want Zhang Miao to play Maitkai like this.

In Kakashi's opinion, Kai's image is indeed a bit bad, maybe that's why Zhang Miao hates him, but what Kakashi didn't expect was that Zhang Miao didn't seem to think so.

As soon as his words fell, Zhang Miao immediately shook his head.

"No, I don't hate Maitkai at all, on the contrary, I like him very much, and I firmly believe that he will become a great ninja in the future!"

"Uh......" Zhang Miao's answer was obviously beyond Kakashi's expectations, he suddenly stopped, and then looked at Zhang Miao in a bit of a daze, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Because he has a great father who is no less than your father, Hachiki Sakumo, Maite Dai!"

When Zhang Miao said this, Kakashi's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of incredulity.

In Kakashi's opinion, Zhang Miao admired and recognized his father Qimu Shuomao very much, but he didn't expect that Maitkai's father also had such a high status in Zhang Miao's heart.

Kakashi also has some impressions of Maitkai's father, who had seen Maitkai's father at the gate of the school when his father Hachiki Sakushige sent him to the ninja school.

Kakashi remembered that Maitkai's father was dressed like Maitkai now, wearing a green tights and a worldly smile that seemed to make him laugh at anyone.

Can such a person be called a hero?

As if seeing Kakashi's surprise, Zhang Miao slowly opened his mouth again.

"Maite Dai is Maite Kai's father, not good at ninjutsu illusions, focusing on cultivating physical arts for twenty years, known as ten thousand years of ninja, the Konoha ninjas at that time have always regarded Maite Dai as a waste, garbage!"

Speaking of this, a hint of sarcasm suddenly flashed on Zhang Miao's face.

"But they didn't expect that this was such a 'waste' in their eyes, 'garbage', in order to protect their son and Konoha companions, they could actually burst out with amazing power and turn the 'Ninja Sword Seven' into a 'Ninja Sword Three' in one fell swoop!"

"Hiss......" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Kakashi immediately gasped, "Kai's father, is he so strong?" ”

The Seven Ninja Swords Kakashi knew, and it was said that each of them had reached the shadow level in strength, and in the face of such a combination of seven people, Kakashi felt that even his father Hachiki Sakumo would be difficult to compete with, let alone kill four of them.

But Kay's father can do it, and how did he do it?

Looking at Kakashi's incredible look, Zhang Miao laughed again.

"Incredible, right? But it's really true! After that battle, the once prominent ninja sword seven people, but only loquat Shizang, watermelon mountain puffer ghost, black hoe thunder tooth three, and two of them later became traitorous ninja, the ninja knife seven people are completely destroyed. ”

"I see!"

After listening to Zhang Miao's explanation, Kakashi nodded a little movingly.

"I didn't expect Kai's father to be such a great ninja too."

"yes!" As soon as Kakashi's words fell, Zhang Miao also nodded, then looked up at the sky, and said with some emotion: "But I still think it's more appropriate to call him a hero!" ”

"Heroes?"

Hearing Zhang Miao mention the word "hero" again, Kakashi looked at him again with some surprise, and his expression seemed to ask Zhang Miao if this evaluation was too much.

Facing Kakashi's puzzled gaze, Zhang Miao nodded firmly again.

"Yes, it's a hero! In my opinion, a hero is not a person with a sword, nor a person with a shield, nor a person who heals others, but a person who can protect his relatives and companions with his life at a critical moment, and such a person is a true hero! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Miao took a deep breath, and then stretched out his hand to point to the huge Hokage Rock in the distance of the village.

"It's like the four Hokages who died in the Rebellion of the Nine-Tails!"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Kakashi suddenly looked at Hokage Rock involuntarily, and at the same time, he was muttering to himself.

"Are people who can protect their loved ones and companions with their lives at critical moments a real hero......

Seeing Kakashi stunned again, Zhang Miao smiled and nodded again.

"That's right, those people are the real heroes, like Kakashi's father, and Maitkai's father, they are all real heroes of Konoha!"

Hearing Zhang Miao say that his father was a hero again, the corners of Kakashi's mouth under the mask suddenly hooked up a smile, he gently pulled down his ninja forehead, covered his somewhat hot left eye, and then carried Zhang Miao on his back and continued to walk forward.

As he walked, he thought to himself, "Ryunosuke, you have always said that my father and Maitkai's father are the real heroes, but in my opinion, your father, the man who protected the whole village under the threat of the Nine-Tails, is the real hero!" ”

With reverence for his father and teacher, Kakashi slowly walked away with Zhang Miao on his back.

Unbeknownst to them, after they left, a thick-eyed boy in a green leotard with a watermelon head was leaning against the wall in the alley, biting his clothes hard and crying to tears.

"Father...... The people of the village have not forgotten you, you are a real hero, woo woo woo ......"
