Naruto: Naruto started the Fourth Shinobi World War for me

Chapter 24 Kakashi's Nightmare

"Hmm? Yugao? What's wrong?"

Ningxia turned around and looked at Xiyan with a puzzled expression. Xiyan's face was a little pale, but she was afraid that Ningxia would discover her embarrassment, so she shook her head repeatedly to indicate that it was nothing.

But she couldn't help comparing herself to Kakashi. Yugao thought she was evenly matched with Kakashi, and was killed by Kakashi five times in five minutes.

It should be noted that Kakashi was already famous in the Anbu, known as the Silver-Haired Asura. No matter how important the mission was, anyone who encountered Kakashi had the right to abandon it and retreat.

The reason is simple: Kakashi is not only an elite Jonin, but she's also incredibly reckless!

Even those stronger than her have to consider their own health, but Kakashi fights with her life on the line.

Over the years, she has had more than ten near-death experiences.

"Hey, say something... I'm at least a friend of your teacher, Kakashi..."

Ningxia called out to Kakashi softly, but Kakashi remained unresponsive, only responding once when he first heard the mission.

"..."

Ningxia felt somewhat helpless and troubled. Kakashi's problem was far too serious; it was clearly a sign of autism, and it had been going on for more than just a day or two.

When Kakashi was attacked by Naruto, he probably thought that dying at the hands of his teacher's daughter would be a way of atoning for his neglect over the years.

This is no ordinary form of autism; it's mixed with landmines and various psychological illnesses like depression. In short... it's a miracle that Kakashi is still alive.

Ningxia sighed deeply. She didn't have any good ideas herself, so she could only try to persuade Kakashi to come into contact with the outside world first.

Thinking of this, Ningxia decided to start with Naruko. Kakashi didn't react to anyone, only Naruko, the daughter of his teacher, could elicit a response from him.

Ningxia then began tidying up the room for Kakashi. Although Kakashi was very withdrawn, she could still manage her daily life on her own.

Otherwise, Ningxia herself wouldn't know what to do. She couldn't very well let Xiyan become a nanny, could she? After all, she was a guard assigned to her by Konoha.

Speaking of which, why does Xiyan always seem so absent-minded?

Ningxia found her dazed look a little strange, so she told her that if there was anything wrong, she should just say it, because keeping it inside would make her feel very uncomfortable.

Faced with Ningxia's concerned inquiries, Xiyan finally couldn't hold back and asked when she could leave.

"Huh? Why are you leaving?"

"Kakashi-senpai, aren't you here to replace me?"

Upon learning the truth, Ningxia was both amused and exasperated, explaining that Kakashi was a patient who had come for treatment, and that his bodyguard had been Yugao from beginning to end.

"well???"

"Oh~ you're blushing~ Miss Xiyan, you're not reluctant to leave me, are you~"

Ningxia chuckled and teased, intending to lighten the mood, but Xiyan blushed and stammered out some unintelligible murmurs.

"what?"

Even Ningxia, who was usually so oblivious, noticed something was off. Looking at Xiyan's rosy complexion and charming beauty, Ningxia felt a little embarrassed and wanted to explain that she was just joking.

But if that's the case, wouldn't it make things even more awkward for the two of them now?

That night, Ningxia cooked a meal to welcome Kakashi, but Kakashi maintained a sullen and world-weary attitude, which made Naruko a little angry.

So what if her whole family dies? It's like no one has ever died before. Ningxia has done so much for her, yet she hasn't shown any appreciation.

"Naruko".

Ningxia held Naruto down, and was also a little annoyed to see Kakashi still acting like he didn't care about anything. No matter how powerful the horse talisman was, it couldn't make autistic people come out of their trance immediately.

But perhaps... the sheep charm could work?

Late at night, Ningxia finished telling the two stories as usual. Then Xiyan suddenly appeared and explained that a friend of hers was seriously ill and she probably wouldn't be able to continue as a guard the next day.

"No problem, just take my note with you later, the Anbu won't make things difficult for you."

Ningxia readily agreed to Xiyan's request and wrote her a note of approval. Xiyan took the note and solemnly stated:

"I... really like this mission, so... I won't back down easily! Please... don't replace me."

After speaking, before Ningxia could reply, Xiyan had already used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to leave.

"..."

Ningxia was speechless for a moment. Even if he was a blockhead, he should understand what was going on after Xiyan said that to him.

but……

Shaking her head helplessly, Ningxia put the Uchiha matters aside for the time being and went straight back to her room, where she used the Sheep Talisman to astral her soul.

Feeling the subtle state of his soul, Ningxia began to float in mid-air without any instruction.

"Well... let's go check out Kakashi's dream."

Upon passing through the wall into the room, Ningxia saw a dream bubble resembling a chat box above Kakashi's head. It was entirely black and didn't look like a good thing.

Reaching into the dream bubble, Ningxia felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, and then realized that she had actually run into Konoha Village.

"Look, she's White Fang's daughter, the one who caused the village so much damage."

"Heh heh heh~ As expected of White Fang's daughter, she doesn't look like a good person at all. Genius? So what if she's a genius? What's the difference between a ninja who can't complete a mission and a piece of trash?"

Various voices originating from Konoha's troublemakers overwhelmed the small figure in the distance. Ningxia frowned. He had been to many countries and had seen other ninja villages.

Undoubtedly, the Konoha scoundrels live the best lives, but they are also the most gossipy.

Moreover, while other villages would praise a strongman like White Fang to the skies, Konoha alone dared to verbally attack and insult him.

Ningxia was so annoyed by the noise from these villagers that she simply waved her hand and wiped them all out.

"..."

In the dream, Kakashi looked puzzled, staring blankly at Ningxia, while Ningxia returned his smile and thumbs up.

"A strange person..."

Kakashi complained, but for some reason, he felt much better.

Then the dream changed again, and Ningxia arrived at a house. She followed Kakashi, who appeared with her, to the bedroom, where she saw Shiroya, who had committed suicide.

"..."

Kakashi watched this scene numbly, as if it wasn't the first time.

Ningxia frowned upon seeing this, walked straight forward, pulled out the dagger Bai Ya had used to commit suicide, and then grabbed him by the collar and slapped him several times: "Hey! What are you doing, trying to die? Old Deng, get up right now!"

Seeing Ningxia throw and elbow White Fang, Kakashi, who had been numb, gradually became bewildered, at a loss, and... a hint of anger.

Her father was already dead, and this person still dared to desecrate his body—it was simply unforgivable…

"Cough cough cough! Stop! Stop hitting me!!!"

Dead White Tooth shouted immediately.

"???"
