When Hatake Satoru returned home, Kakashi's eyes were gleaming with golden light, as if he had seen a savior. Understanding this look, Satoru immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
"Father hasn't given up on that matter after such a long time, has he?"
Hatake Satoru asked incredulously, his eyes wide.
"Hmm."
Kakashi shook his head helplessly. No one knew how he had spent these past two years. No one knew how tormented he had been during this time.
Every day was spent in fear and trepidation, afraid that his father would set a trap for him, and he would jump in.
Although he thought he was smart enough, he was always one step behind his father when it came to playing mind games.
Kakashi had thought about taking a long-term mission like Satoru and taking Sasuke out for training, but the Fourth Hokage simply didn't assign him long-term missions. After all, as one of the main forces of Konohagakure Village, Kakashi couldn't be away for too long.
And as a disciple of the Fourth Hokage, it was his duty to help the Fourth Hokage share the pressure in the village.
"It seems I came back at the wrong time."
Just as Hatake Satoru was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly felt his hand being grabbed.
Turning his head to look, Kakashi had somehow appeared by his side. The speed of the Body Flicker Jutsu almost didn't give Hatake Satoru time to react.
This might have been forced out over the past two years. When a person is pushed to the brink, they will inevitably unleash a great deal of potential.
"Don't go."
Kakashi said, looking at him with affectionate eyes. Hatake Satoru didn't soften his heart, because if he didn't leave, he would be the one to suffer later.
Just as Satoru was about to break free from Kakashi's hand and decisively leave, he suddenly felt as if the light shining into the room from the door was being blocked by something.
"Just got back and you want to leave?"
A majestic voice suddenly reached Hatake Satoru's ears, and hearing this voice, Kakashi involuntarily shivered.
"Father, long time no see."
Hatake Satoru slowly turned around, looked at Hatake Sakumo's figure, and said with a forced smile.
"Hmm, indeed, it's been a long time."
Hatake Sakumo said with a heavy face. He obviously looked in a bad mood, and it was precisely this look that made Hatake Satoru's heart tremble. He immediately had a bad premonition.
"You came back just in time, I have a task for you to complete."
Hatake Sakumo suddenly spoke.
"What task?"
Hatake Satoru asked with a trembling voice. He knew it wouldn't be good news, it might even be a conspiracy.
"Help me deliver these sweets to Granny Natsuda in the next street."
Hatake Sakumo directly took out a bag of sweets he had made and threw it to Hatake Satoru, who caught it in a fluster.
"Granny Natsuda in the next street? I remember she seems to be in the next street to the shop, not the next street to the house."
Hatake Satoru said.
"The distance from the shop to the house is much farther than going to Mrs. Wang's house. Why don't you deliver it yourself, but run all the way home to let me deliver it?"
This can't be described as a conspiracy, it's a blatant plot.
"Just go if I tell you to go, where is all this nonsense coming from?"
Hatake Sakumo frowned and asked, immediately bringing out his authority as a father. If he didn't do this, he really couldn't control Hatake Satoru.
After all, he didn't want to be as obedient as Kakashi.
"Yes, yes, yes, Father, I'm going. But after I deliver it, I'm leaving. I definitely won't stay there for long."
"Cough, cough~"
At this moment, Hatake Sakumo coughed a bit awkwardly.
"After you deliver it, you should interact well with the granddaughter of the Date family. I've met that girl, she's a good person, she should be a good match for you."
After hearing this, Hatake Satoru was full of black lines. He knew that this matter would definitely not be that simple.
And Kakashi, hearing Sakumo's words, was also snickering on the side.
"What are you laughing at? You haven't made any progress in two years, just like a waste."
Sakumo glared at Kakashi, expressing a look of disappointment.
In these two years, Sakumo didn't know how many marriage arrangements he had made for Kakashi, but none of them worked out. Sakumo was so angry that he wished he could hang Kakashi from the eaves and beat him.
But in the end, reason prevailed. Besides, he didn't have the strength to hang Kakashi and beat him now.
The smile on Kakashi's face immediately froze. He didn't understand why he, who was clearly just watching the fun, was also caught in this fire.
"You too, if you don't succeed this time, don't say you're my son. I can't afford to lose face."
For the lifelong matters of these two sons, Hatake Sakumo was getting more and more worried day by day. Since his identity was exposed, many former comrades had come to visit him.
Some even brought their grandchildren to see him, which made him so angry that he could only grit his teeth and maintain a smile, deliberately showing a calm appearance.
He didn't care on the surface, but he was extremely jealous in his heart.
"Isn't it, Father, are the consequences really that serious?"
Hatake Satoru said with a mournful face. He didn't expect that he had just returned to the village and was about to face a difficult test. He felt that he was even more tired now than when he was fighting with the Otsutsuki clan.
"Do you think so?"
Hatake Sakumo retorted.
Looking at the serious expression on Sakumo's face, Satoru knew that Sakumo must be serious.
"Well then, I'll try my best to complete the task you gave me. It's not a big deal to stay a little longer."
Hatake Satoru said through gritted teeth, as if he had made a big decision.
"Hmm, that's what my son would say."
Hearing Hatake Satoru's determination, Sakumo nodded in satisfaction.
Watching Satoru walk out of the house with a nervous heart, Sakumo nodded in satisfaction. However, he didn't notice that Kakashi had disappeared using the Body Flicker Jutsu at some point.
"You don't have to take Father's words seriously. After all, I've heard those words many times."
When Satoru turned a corner, he found Kakashi leaning against a wall, his arms crossed, as if he was waiting for him.
"That's great, then you can complete this task."
After saying that, Satoru directly forced the things in his hands into Kakashi's hands. Then, Satoru's figure directly disappeared in front of Kakashi.
Leaving Kakashi and the food in his hands dumbfounded, Kakashi blinked his confused big eyes. He didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings at the moment.
He felt like he had been played but wasn't paid, commonly known as being freeloaded.
