"So what do you think?" Inuzuka Midori asked Kakashi.
Kakashi pondered for a moment, imagining himself as Inuzuka Midori and thinking about what Inuzuka Midori would normally do.
"They should start by congratulating Squad Leader Nagase and letting him let his guard down, and then give him a trick gift at the end."
Inuzuka Midori looked at Kakashi with dissatisfaction, "Captain Nagase is so good to us, teaching us secret techniques and training us. It's not easy to have a birthday and you still want to ruin it. You are such a jerk!"
Kakashi: …
It turns out that he has become a bad person who doesn't know how to be grateful.
"Yan Shui, you're right, isn't it? Squad Leader Yongze has been so good to us, we should repay him well."
Yanshui nodded and said frankly that although Yongze was very strict in their training, this was precisely the manifestation of Yongze's responsibility towards them.
"Well, I was wrong about you." Kakashi raised his hands and gave a French salute.
"That's right. A good child should have the courage to admit his mistakes." Inuzuka Midori said to Kakashi in the tone of an elder.
This made Kakashi feel inexplicably unhappy, but it was okay to be criticized by Yanshui, after all, Yanshui was a very reliable teammate.
But when Inuzuka Midori called him a child, he always felt looked down upon. This guy really has no self-awareness at all. He obviously behaves more like a thirteen-year-old than he, who is thirteen years old.
Kakashi felt that it would be necessary to discuss with Nagase an internal team competition next time, so that Inuzuka Midori could understand the majesty of his genius jonin.

After lunch, Nono washed the dishes and prepared to take a walk in the yard to relax.
Seeing someone sitting under a tree and making circles with a branch, Nono walked over curiously.
At this time, Kabuto should be reviewing his textbooks for the Ninja School, why is he here doing nothing
Walking over to the book, Nono smiled gently and said, "What's wrong with you, Kabuto? If you feel stressed about studying, you can take a few days off from studying."
When Kabuto saw Nono coming, he raised his head and shook his head, saying, "It's not about studying. I think those are quite simple."
Nono was a little curious, so he squatted down and continued to ask, "What is that matter? Can you share it with the dean?"
Dou thought for a moment and said, "Brother Yongze's birthday is coming up, and I want to give him a gift, but I don't know what to give him."
Although Nagaze would bring food to everyone every time he visited the orphanage and tell stories to many people, Dou knew that Nagaze was the best for him.
After all, Nagase didn't tell anyone that he was going to send him to a ninja school, and he even paid for the tuition and taught him ninjutsu himself.
So Kabuto also wanted to repay Nagaze by giving him a gift or something.
But here comes the embarrassing part: he has no money to buy a good gift, but he himself is not a master craftsman and can't make anything.
So Dou was very confused about what to give as a gift.
"As expected, you need money to be in the ninja world. If you have money, the dean will be happy and you can buy a good gift for Nagase-san." Kabuto thought to himself.
Nono gently touched the little head of Dou and said softly: "Nagaze likes you so much, he will like anything you give him."
Kabuto narrowed his eyes slightly with some enjoyment. Unlike the rough and ruthless touch on the head by Nono Uka and Nagase, this one was very gentle, like a breeze on the face.
"Is this okay? It's not very good." Dou said uncertainly.
"Doesn't Nagase like to eat dango? Why don't you just make him one and add red beans and strawberries and other things to it? The sweeter it is, the happier he will be anyway." Nono complained about Nagase's strange taste.
Once, she took a bite of Nagase's special dango out of curiosity. It was so sweet that it made her frown.
Once, Nagase was staying in a restaurant at the orphanage. Nono advised him to just eat at the orphanage, and then asked Nagase what he wanted to eat. Nagase told him to give him a red bean rice bowl.
Nono: (; 一_一)
From then on, Nono knew that Nagase couldn't live without sugar.
"Dumpling..." Dou felt that this was a good idea. It was cheap and affordable, and it just hit the point that Nagase liked.
After helping Kabuto solve the gift problem, Nono was a little troubled.
If she hadn't discussed this with Kabuto, she would most likely have been the one making the dumplings, because even though she had funding from the village, she no longer accepted funds from the Root.
So at the moment, she can only say that she has enough money, but cannot say that she is very wealthy, and it is impossible for her to use Konoha's subsidy to buy gifts.
But now Dou is already giving away dumplings, and it feels a bit bad for her to also give away dumplings.
What if it tastes better than Dou’s? That would be even more embarrassing.
It would be fine if he didn't taste it on the spot, but if Nagase ate it on the spot and gave his comments, Nono felt that Kabuto might be sad.
Kabuto happily went back to continue preparing for the Ninja School textbooks, and there was one more person under the tree who was worried about the gift.
At this time, Nagase, who walked into the orphanage, saw Nono squatting under a tree in a daze, so he walked over with some curiosity.
Nagase squatted down, leaned forward, and looked at Nono carefully. Then he waved his palm up and down in front of Nono's pretty face and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking about? You are so engrossed."
Hearing the familiar voice, Nono came back to her senses. The face that suddenly appeared in front of her made her subconsciously lean back, but unfortunately there was a tree behind her, so she only retreated a little bit.
At this distance, Nono could even feel the hot breath exhaled by Nagase.
Seeing Nono's face starting to turn slightly red, Nagase smiled, stood up, and sat next to Nono.
Nagase's action made Nonoyu breathe a sigh of relief, and his mind became clearer. He replied, "I was thinking about what you might like."
Nono had no intention of hiding anything and giving a surprise.
Apart from celebrating birthdays for the children in the orphanage, she didn't even have the energy to celebrate her own birthday, so she wouldn't play with those flowers.
"Something you like?" Nagaze repeated, then smiled and said, "Is it because of my birthday? Don't worry about it, just give it to me casually, or not."
Nono shook his head and said, "After all, you have helped me and the children so much. I feel a little sorry for not giving you a gift on your birthday."
Nagase helped her apply to have the orphanage become Konoha's official orphanage, which really solved her big problem. She no longer had to worry about what to do if the Root didn't give her money.
"How about you take a few photos in your shrine maiden costume as a gift?" Nagase said in a joking tone.
He remembered that Nonou also had a nickname called the walking shrine maiden. Although it definitely had nothing to do with the shrine maiden costume, he thought Nonou would look good in the shrine maiden costume.
Because good-looking people look good in anything.
