Chapter 99: Kakashi’s Blind Date
7:00 PM.
Hatake Residence.
Kamizuki Hikari pushed open the door with a look of resignation, stepping inside to find Kakashi holding up various outfits, utterly indecisive about what to wear. Hikari couldn’t help but scoff.
"Kakashi, seriously, aren’t you done yet?"
Hearing Hikari’s voice, Kakashi immediately turned around. "Hikari! Quick, help me pick which one makes me look cooler!"
Hikari pointed at the mask covering Kakashi’s face. "So, you planning to take off that embarrassment shield?"
"Embarrassment shield? I’m not that bad-looking!" Kakashi touched the mask, briefly considering removing it before giving up. "Nah, I’ve worn this thing in Konoha for years. Taking it off now would feel like walking down the street naked."
"How about you just wear the mask and go out without any clothes? Sounds good, right?" Hikari teased.
"Heh."
And just like that, the conversation ended with a dry chuckle.
Kakashi, a master of the art of deflection, kept rifling through his clothes in front of the mirror before his eyes settled on his usual jōnin vest.
