章節 9: The Fetters of Destiny

Since the fragment was already in his hands, Zhang Miao naturally would not waste his energy talking to Kakashi about Orochimaru. Instead, he patted his stomach and shouted.

"Oh, I'm so hungry. I want to eat some fried fish, Kakashi!"

As if responding to its owner, Zhang Miao's stomach also growled at the right time.

Hearing this voice, Kakashi smiled and then rubbed Zhang Miao's fiery red hair.

"Sorry, wait here for a second. I'll go cook now!"

After that, Kakashi turned and walked into the kitchen, turned on the tap, and began to deal with the fish.

Soon, several plates of delicious-looking fried fish were brought to the table. Zhang Miao, who had been waiting for a long time, shamelessly clapped.

"Itadakimasu!"

Looking at the hungry Zhang Miao, Kakashi smiled again, and at the same time, he gently put his hands together.

"Itadakimasu!"

For a moment, neither of them spoke, and only the sound of chopsticks touching the bowl could be heard on the table, as well as the sound of eating.

After a few minutes, Kakashi suddenly put down the bowl and then suddenly asked a question.

"Ryunosuke... what is my future like? Can you see it?"

"Your future?"

Hearing Kakashi's words, Zhang Miao temporarily let go of the poor fried fish on the plate and then looked up at Kakashi.

"Are you sure you want to know your future?"

"Eh..." Kakashi hesitated for a moment, but he quickly nodded. "I'm sure!"

Obviously, Kakashi, who was only thirteen years old, was not as mature as he was a few years later. He still maintained the curiosity of a teenager.

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao suddenly smiled, and his eyes flashed with a special color.

"Your future is bright, but it will be quite rough. And one day, you will reunite with the owner of your left eye."

"What?"

Just as Zhang Miao imagined, after hearing his words, Kakashi suddenly stood up excitedly.

"You mean... Obito is still alive?"

Looking at Kakashi, who was excited, the corners of Zhang Miao's mouth curled up again.

"I don't know who Obito is, but if you're talking about the person who gave you your left eye, he is still alive!"

"Obito is still alive? Great!"

As soon as his voice fell, Kakashi jumped, his eyes full of joy.

In Kakashi's opinion, Zhang Miao, who had the ability to predict, could not be wrong.

He was overjoyed after knowing that his cherished friend was still alive, even if it was just a piece of news that had not been confirmed.

Because of this, Kakashi, who was still excited, didn't notice the hatred flashing in Zhang Miao's eyes!

"Damn you, Uchiha Obito, I have yet to settle the debt with you!"

Zhang Miao didn't care about the original plot. For him, Uchiha Obito was the culprit who ruined his life and turned him into an orphan!

This debt, of course, had to be settled properly!

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao quickly dealt with the fish on the plate and then clapped his hands.

"I'm full. I'll go first. Thank you for your hospitality!"

After that, Zhang Miao jumped off the chair and walked out.

Kakashi did not notice anything wrong with Zhang Miao. He was in a state of excitement, and his mind was full of joy. So when Zhang Miao opened the door and was ready to go out, he immediately waved at Zhang Miao.

"Ryunosuke!"

"Thank you!"

Hearing Kakashi's voice, Zhang Miao did not look back but just raised his right hand and waved.

"No problem, no need to be polite. Remember to pick me up tomorrow!"

After that, Zhang Miao went out and closed the door.

Not long after leaving Kakashi's home, Zhang Miao was blocked by the two Anbu ninjas wearing cat masks.

Looking at the two Anbu ninjas in front of him who seemed unhappy, Zhang Miao felt that he should say something, so he immediately raised his hand and greeted them with a bright smile.

"Yo!"

"..."

Zhang Miao was carried back to his residence. This time, the members of the Anbu did not lock the door. Instead, they especially left someone inside to watch Zhang Miao.

Facing such a situation, Zhang Miao suddenly shrugged his shoulders with a helpless face, then turned over and went to bed.

Although Zhang Miao had a mental age of an adult, his physique was undoubtedly a baby's, so his sleep quality was excellent.

He slept for a full day straight, only waking up the next afternoon. This made the Anbus monitoring him feel that they had worked for nothing.

What about sneaking away?

They didn't know that Zhang Miao didn't have to sneak out anymore because when he opened his eyes, Kakashi, one of the Anbu ninjas directly serving the Hokage, had already come to his office and made a request to him.

"Sandaime-sama, I have no mission these days, so I hope to take Ryunosuke to my place to stay for a few days. I wish for your consideration!"

Hearing Kakashi's request, Hiruzen suddenly picked up his pipe and took a puff, then squinted at Kakashi.

"Kakashi, that child is a little special. Are you sure you can take good care of him?"

Kakashi had already felt Zhang Miao's special ability, so in the face of Hiruzen's question, he nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, I am sure!"

Looking at Kakashi's firm look, Hiruzen suddenly exhaled a long smoke and nodded.

"Well, you can go and pick him up!"

"Yes, thank you, Hokage-sama!"

Seeing that Hiruzen agreed, Kakashi immediately thanked him happily and then left the office to pick up Zhang Miao.

After Kakashi left, Hiruzen, who had a pipe in his mouth, also smiled.

"Perhaps this is fate!"

At this time, Hiruzen did not know that Zhang Miao had exposed his identity to Kakashi. He thought that the relationship between Kakashi and Zhang Miao was just a coincidence.

And for Hiruzen, the darkness in Kakashi's heart was also a problem he had been worried about. Now that Kakashi had personally proposed to take care of Ryunosuke, it was also a rare opportunity to eliminate the darkness inside his heart.

However, Sarutobi didn't forget that before Kushina died, she said that there was some darkness in Ryunosuke's heart.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen frowned again.

"Can a child like Ryunosuke eliminate the darkness inside Kakashi's heart? Is it right to let the two of them be together?"
