"Oi Bōzu!, wake up!"
Still half-asleep, I felt a constant slapping on my face. Waking up on a Monday was always unpleasant, and the intrusion into my dream infuriated me.
"Who the hell dares to hit me again?"
Before I could finish my words, another slap landed.
Instantly wide awake, I jumped up and started to roll up my sleeves. But my actions halted when I saw my surroundings.
I was in a forest. A vast expanse of greenery far removed from modern pollution, the air sweet and fresh.
But I wasn't here to enjoy the scenery. In front of me stood a masked man, and his dead-fish eyes made me very uncomfortable.
"Who the hell are you, dressed like Hatake Kakashi?"
"You know me?" Hatake Kakashi asked, pointing at himself in surprise.
I was taken aback. I'd seen plenty of cosplayers, but this one was eerily convincing.
"If you're Hatake Kakashi, then I'm Uzumaki Naruto. What a joke."
"Well, you're about the right age, but your hair color is wrong. Naruto's hair is blonde," Kakashi responded seriously, rubbing his chin.
"Enough of this nonsense!"
"Gaki, stay safe. The enemy is tricky, and I might not be able to protect you," Kakashi said, his tone suddenly serious. He slowly lifted his forehead protector, revealing a blood-red pupil.
"You're really committed to this cosplay, huh?"
Before I could finish, Kakashi pulled out a kunai from his ninja pouch. My heart skipped a beat, and I instinctively took two steps back.
Suddenly, a white light shot toward Kakashi. He swung his hand, producing a loud metallic clang.
A dozen figures appeared, surrounding us.
"They're here for me. I'm sorry for involving you," Kakashi said, a hint of anger in his voice.
It finally hit me—I had somehow traveled into the world of Naruto.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the sign-in system! ]
[Ding! Host has established contact with Hatake Kakashi. Sign in? ]
Stunned, I quickly gathered my wits. A system in the Naruto world? This was a dream come true.
'Sign in!'
[Ding! Sign in successful! ]
[Ding! Host has obtained Hatake Sword Technique! ]
(Host also receives ninjutsu, items, and bloodline abilities of the sign-in target! )
[Ding! Host's favorability with Hatake Kakashi is now 62 points! ]
Initial value: 50 points
At 0, Kakashi will kill you without hesitation
At 100, he'll abandon Konoha for you!
Host can check favorability rewards with saying 'Check info (ninja name)'
Seeing the explanation, I shivered. If it were a female ninja, I wouldn't mind raising favorability, but with a male ninja? No thanks.
I turned my attention to the other reward.
Hatake Sword Technique, The ancestral swordsmanship of the Hatake family.
Familiar with the name, I immediately understood. This was the famous technique of Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, feared by the ninjas of the Elemental nation.
Kakashi had also practiced this swordsmanship since childhood but used it less frequently after acquiring the Sharingan.
This reward was perfect for me. Other abilities, like Raikiri or Sharingan, would take time to master. The Hatake Sword Technique, however, could be useful immediately.
"Don't worry, kid. I'll distract them. You run!" Kakashi suggested
"Do you think they'll let me go?" I asked, smiling wryly.
Kakashi's eyes grew serious. The enemy wouldn't let me leave, fearing I might call for backup. But Kakashi couldn't protect me while fighting them off.
"Give me White Light Chakra Sabre. I'll fight too!"
Kakashi was taken aback. White Sabre was his father's weapon, which he had carried since Sakumo's death. He rarely used it, after he repaired it, preferring kunai in close combat.
( note :In this story Kakashi already repaired his father blade, while in canon, Kakashi Retsuden, he did after he resigned as Sixth Hokage)
Knowing about White Sabre meant I was someone from Konoha. Kakashi hesitated but then tossed me a kunai.
"Use this instead."
I shrugged. A kunai was better than nothing. Though the Hatake Sword Technique was most effective with White Sabre, it could still work with a kunai.
"Kid, I'll protect you as much as I can. Run north to Konoha and get help!"
Kakashi's reputation as a formidable fighter made his concern worrisome. The enemy must be strong.
Suddenly, the enemy moved, surrounding Kakashi. Two ninjas came toward me.
"This kid's chakra is weak. Let's kill him quickly and join the fight."
"Right, one hit should do it!"
They vanished, and a murderous aura enveloped me. I frowned, watching my surroundings carefully.
A sharp kunai flashed toward my face, the cold steel making my hair stand on end.
"Gotcha!"
