Chapter 2, Funeral

Kakashi, one day, I too want to die like a hero

Kakashi remained silent

"Hmm. Kai, let's go," Kakashi said, and then walked into the cemetery

At that moment, a pair of hands supported the swaying Kakashi, and a rough voice followed.

Kakashi, who had not slept all night, changed into a set of black clothing, secured the forehead protector on his head, and then left the house

Kakashi still resides in the Hatake family's house, which is the place where Konoha's White Fang lived during his lifetime, and has not yet moved out

Kai took out two white flowers from behind him, handed one to Kakashi, and said: "Take this, I knew you would forget to prepare."

At that moment, an elderly man approached and said, "Kakashi, Guy"

Firstly, although the Hatake family now has only Kakashi remaining, the legacy of the family endures. Especially with a shadow-level powerhouse like White Fang, there are numerous ninjutsu techniques at their disposal. While the sealing techniques may be few, they are not entirely absent.

Kakashi retrieved the scroll that Kushina had given him from the room, according to his memory, and began to read it.

Ah, indeed, it is great

After losing my father, this home has become somewhat empty

At this moment, Kai said, "Kakashi, the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life to protect the village; he is a great hero and a legend."

It would be great if Teacher Shui Men were still here, so that I could consult him

The third generation nodded and said, "Let's go, it's time to go in."

After all, in order to preserve the Sharingan, Teacher Minato and the Third Hokage faced considerable pressure from the Uchiha clan.

If one were to seal the Sharingan when not in use, it should resolve the issue. Is it a sealing technique? It seems that there is no such ninjutsu in my memory. The sealing method I later learned, the Sealing of Evil, is also not applicable, and even if I knew it, it would not be suitable for sealing the Sharingan

After a long while, Kakashi let out a sigh and said: "This sealing technique is indeed complex. If it weren't for the foundation laid by the original body, I fear I wouldn't understand a single word. Unfortunately, the scroll given by Lady Kushina contains only the basics of sealing techniques, along with some practical sealing methods. While these are quite rare, none are sufficient to seal the Sharingan. The only sealing technique included is surprisingly the Evil Sealing Method used in later generations, which can be considered a gain."

Kakashi turned around and saw a watermelon head appear before him, completely covered in green, wearing a green bodysuit, with a watermelon head and thick eyebrows, the identity of the person before him was unmistakable

In the middle of the funeral, there is a photograph, in which a gentle-looking man is smiling, his golden hair resembling that of the sun

Furthermore, the sealing techniques of Teacher Minato's wife, Kushina Uzumaki, are likely unmatched in the entire Hidden Leaf Village. Teacher Minato's sealing techniques were all taught by Kushina. Although both Teacher Minato and his wife have passed away, during Kakashi's last birthday, Kushina had gifted him a scroll of sealing techniques. However, at that time, Kakashi had little interest in sealing techniques, so he has yet to read it.

Kakashi was taken aback for a moment, then replied seriously: "I will, Lord Third."

The two engaged in a casual conversation and soon arrived at the funeral

Kakashi pondered and said to himself, "It seems that there are no desired sealing techniques in this scroll. Therefore, I can only check if there are any sealing techniques in the scroll left by my father."

In the end, considering the Third Hokage's regard for Kakashi, while forbidden techniques may pose some difficulties, I believe he would still be willing to provide one or two sealing techniques sufficient to seal the Sharingan. However, explaining the need to seal the Sharingan to the Third Hokage would indeed be quite troublesome

Kai sighed and then said: "Kakashi, my lifelong rival, let us see who can arrive at the funeral site first"

Kai also chuckled and said: "Alright, Kakashi, it seems you didn't bring the white flowers."

Although sealing techniques are hard to come by, Kakashi still has a way to obtain them

Kakashi, what is wrong with you

The Third sighed and said, "As long as there are places where leaves dance in the wind, fire will burn. The shadow of the fire will illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout. When one wishes to protect the person they cherish the most... only then will the true power of a ninja be revealed. Kakashi, do you understand?"

Ah, Kai, I am fine," Kakashi said, shaking off Kai's hand and standing up straight

The sunlight made Kakashi feel somewhat uncomfortable, his silver-white eyebrows furrowing slightly. His one-eyed gaze was something Kakashi had not yet fully adapted to, and coupled with the fatigue from a sleepless night, he suddenly felt a bit dizzy, and his body swayed slightly

The funeral lasted for a day. In the evening, Kakashi returned to his home, dragging his weary body.

Dressed in the Hokage robe, the one who has arrived is the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi

Let us first examine the sealing scrolls left by the teacher's wife and father to see if there are any suitable ninjutsu techniques

Ah, but I hope you do not die before me. If you wish to sacrifice yourself like a hero, please die after me, alright? I do not want to attend your funeral

Kakashi sighed, yet he did not feel at a loss for solutions

Kakashi glanced at Guy and said, "Sorry, Guy, let's skip it today."

Kai, I hope you can live to a ripe old age in peace, rather than dying in such a dramatic manner

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shines through the window of Kakashi's home, where a pale-faced youth stands quietly.

Third Hokage: "Kakashi, you have changed a bit."

Kakashi, this is not the way a ninja dies

Kakashi took it, feeling a warmth in his heart

Kai furrowed his brow and said, "Kakashi, you look unwell."

Kakashi was momentarily lost in thought

Then become strong, strong enough to protect everything. Use your heart that cherishes your companions to change all of this

Kakashi and Guy stood solemnly and said: "Lord Third Hokage."

Kakashi turned his head and looked at the comically dressed man. At that moment, his expression was not the usual simplicity, but rather a seriousness and solemnity that had never been seen before

Lying on the bed at home, Kakashi touched his left eye. The warmth of the Sharingan had not ceased. Kakashi felt somewhat helpless and thought to himself: "This Sharingan is constantly consuming my physical strength and chakra. No wonder the original Kakashi could not withstand prolonged battles. Is there any way to resolve this issue? The Kakashi in the original work did not find a solution, largely because he felt that the Sharingan carried Obito's will and was reluctant to move it. However, now that I am in control, I naturally cannot allow such a hindrance to remain."

Kakashi was taken aback, as he had indeed not prepared for this

Ah, it's nothing, just a bit tired

Kakashi stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and suddenly, his eyes lit up

I understand, but I do not want the person I cherish to die in front of me, especially not for the sake of protecting me

This youngest genius Hokage in history has now become a part of history

Kakashi, you ... ...

This is the Fourth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village, known as the "Yellow Flash," whose speed is unparalleled in the ninja world, instilling fear in the hearts of enemies

"Kakashi, youth should not be so despondent," Guy said, a fiery passion igniting in his eyes

Kakashi smiled and said, "Kai, I'm fine. Let's set aside today's youth for now and go to the funeral."

Oh, Kakashi, wait for me. Kai reacted and hurriedly caught up with Kakashi, taking three steps at a time.

On the dilapidated streets of Konoha Village, small groups walked together, each person dressed in black, holding white flowers for the memorial.
