Chapter 13

"That's cool!"

At the door of the Dango shop, Obito, who had already walked out, looked at Yusuke's back with admiration and cheered.

Is there a boy who didn't have a rebellious phase when he was younger?

To him, seeing Yusuke in action—giving out bruised faces and swollen noses—was simply impressive.

Meanwhile, Kurenai and Nohara Rin, the two young girls, were utterly shocked.

As students who had just entered the ninja school less than a year ago, they had never seen anything like this before.

When they saw Yusuke beating up those dark soldiers, who were now spitting blood, Kurenai quickly ran over, grabbed Yusuke's hand, and said in alarm.

"Stop, Brother Yusuke! You're going to beat them to death!"

"Tsk, I have the strength to control it. They won't die."

Yusuke calmly explained, pursing his lips.

He was in control; these guys had lost a few teeth and broken a couple of bones at most. They were embarrassed, but they wouldn't die.

Even though he could be a bit ruthless given the state of Konoha, he knew where to draw the line. And Yusuke had good control over that line.

"Forget it. It's a mess this morning. I'm going to visit Kakashi. Do you want to come along?"

Yusuke asked the three kids.

"Uh... Well."

The three of them hesitated for a moment but quickly nodded.

Kakashi was someone Obito viewed as a rival. For Nohara Rin and Kurenai, he was also a classmate, so they naturally wanted to visit him in the hospital.

As the four of them walked away, the surrounding ninjas finally gathered the courage to come forward and shouted urgently:

"Hurry, call the medical ninjas!"

"Oh my God, they've all fainted."

"Quick, move them to the hospital!"

People around were talking:

"So, who is that person? He's incredible..."

"Are you kidding? You don't know him? That's Yusuke—the one who repelled the Nine-Tails last night!"

"I get it now. No wonder he's so impressive. Anyone who can defeat the Nine-Tails has to be extraordinary."

On the edge of the crowd, two people were stunned.

The current head of the Kato family, Dan Kato, was with his niece, Shizune Kato .

Due to the Nine-Tails incident, Konoha was overwhelmed with casualties, and Tsunade had been moved to Konoha Hospital to help.

Dan had hoped to use this opportunity to pursue Tsunade, but this incident had ruined his plans.

Today, he was already feeling down, and witnessing such a scene while bringing his niece for breakfast only added to his frustration.

Watching Yusuke beat up the ANBU team reminded Kato of his own anger from two days ago.

He had almost attacked Yusuke back then, but now he was glad he hadn't. If he had, he would have ended up in the same beaten state as those ANBU.

At Konoha Hospital, Yusuke, accompanied by the three kids, soon arrived at Kakashi's ward.

The hospital was packed due to the Nine-Tails incident; it was incredibly crowded.

When they entered the ward and saw Kakashi, they found him sitting on the bed, looking distant and unapproachable.

Nohara Rin stepped forward, offering a basket of fruits and forcing a smile, "Kakashi, we came to see you. How are you doing?"

Kakashi glanced at her indifferently and replied, "I'm okay."

"Is that so?"

Nohara Rin felt awkward, unsure of how to respond.

Obito was upset by Kakashi's cold demeanor, especially since he felt Kakashi was treating his goddess poorly. He wanted to confront Kakashi, but Yusuke spoke up first, revealing the White Fang blade.

"Kakashi, this is your father's relic. You should keep it."

Kakashi's expression grew colder as he looked at the short blade. He replied dismissively:

"I don't need this useless thing."

"What did you say?"

Yusuke's tone grew icy.

The others were startled and quickly held their breath, worried he might react violently.

Kakashi continued, "In the ninja world, those who break the rules are considered worthless. I don't need such trash."

"Wow, you've been thoroughly brainwashed."

After a brief silence, Yusuke sneered disdainfully, put away the White Fang blade, and turned to leave.

In the original story, Kakashi was known for his strict adherence to the so-called "Will of Fire" philosophy. He didn't see the value in avenging his father, instead believing his father was wrong, much like how Uchiha Itachi believed he was right to kill his parents for the village.

Yusuke had no intention of changing his view of Kakashi but resolved to save him if his life was in danger—fulfilling Hatake Sakumo's last wish.

As for playing the role of a guardian or mentor, Yusuke wasn't interested.

Kurenai, Rin, and Obito watched as Yusuke left, confused by his sudden departure.

Kurenai decided to follow him, while Rin and Obito stayed behind to keep Kakashi company.
