Hatake Kakashi X OC

Chapter 50 (Final)

"I am listening," said Kakashi. Tsunade briefly described her idea to them.

Kakashi paused for a moment to think. "It's not a bad idea, except for the last part. I want to do it in a place with just the two of us, not in the middle of the village where everyone else is watching."

"Considering how low profile you have been, yeah you can do that somewhere else. So, the festival is on, I assume. If yes, I will have Shimizu inform the villagers and they can start preparing."

"Thank you, Tsunade-sama. I appreciate it." Kakashi bowed. "Then, I shall go and shop for a ring now." Kakashi bowed again before leaving.

"Good luck, Kakashi." Jiraiya waved.

"Ah ah, nice to be young huh." Tsunade smiled.

"Finally admitting that you are no longer young I see." Jiraiya teased.

"If you still wish to breathe, you better stop there." Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with a creepy smile.

"Hai hai." He raised both hands, pretending to be surrendering. "Geez, are all Konoha women this intimidating?"

"You said something?"

"Just talking to myself."

Tsunade sighed. She turned to Shimizu, "Shimizu, informed the villagers to prepare a festival tomorrow. It might be a little rush, but I think it will be fine. Anyway, this might be a good chance for them to relax and enjoy after that nightmare."

"Hai!" With that, Shimizu left.

The villagers have begun preparations for the festival almost immediately after the message has been relayed, and most of the fellow Shinobis knew about the proposal plan.

When Michiko came back from her mission, she was welcomed by Izumo and Kotetsu who were acting weird. They have been smiling at her in a freaky way.

"Alright, why are you guys smiling like some creepy dudes?" Michiko asked as she maintained a certain distance away from them.

"It's nothing. Welcome back! You're going to report to Tsunade-sama right?" Kotetsu grinned.

"Erm, yes I am."

"Well, you should look forward to—" Kotetsu elbowed Izumo before he revealed any sensitive information. Izumo groaned at the pain.

"What is that?" Michiko was puzzled.

"He was saying you should go and report to Tsunade-sama first."

"Yeah, right. Okay, see you guys around." Michiko walked away, eyeing them with suspicion but chose to shrug it off.

As Michiko walked towards the Hokage Office Building, she realised the villagers were all preparing for a festival.

Wow, are we celebrating something? She pondered. She wanted to ask them, but they looked busy and it does not seem like a good time to do so. Michiko kept the questions to herself and continued her way until she saw Genma in the dango shop.

"Hey, Genma! It's been awhile." Michiko waved and walked towards him.

"Michiko... Just came back from a mission?"Genma seemed a little surprised to see Michiko.

"Yeah, how about you?" Michiko took a seat opposite him.

"I just got back yesterday. Will be setting off again the day after tomorrow though," he smiled wryly.

"I have a feeling I am gonna get another mission too," Michiko laughed. "Oh yeah, are we celebrating something? Why are the villagers preparing for a festival?"
