Chapter 100: Kakashi and Shizune
Pulled along by Shizune, Kakashi felt as though his entire body had stiffened to the point of rusting.
He had no idea how he ended up following her into another private room.
"Kakashi-senpai, please, have a seat!"
Shizune sat down gracefully, watching the dazed Kakashi across from her before suddenly bursting into laughter.
"Pfft!"
"Kakashi-senpai, you don’t have to be so tense!"
Kakashi awkwardly scratched his head. Normally, he could handle situations like this with ease, but sitting alone with Shizune in a room—especially for something like a matchmaking meeting—made him feel completely out of sorts.
"Uh, I think we’re the same age. You don’t need to call me senpai."
"Then what should I call you? Kakashi-kun? Or Kakashi-san?" Hearing him dismiss formalities, Shizune grinned playfully.
She didn’t mention that she called him senpai based on the age they became shinobi after graduating.
Back then, aside from Rin and Obito, his relationships with others were rather distant. Even people like Asuma and Kurenai only grew closer to him later.
