The way under the protection of Wisteria

      Kakashi knocked on the door of Godaime's office and immediately entered, dragging Michi with him.       – Kakashi? Who's that with you? – a beautiful woman with blonde hair was sitting at a table and was clearly arguing about something with a dark-haired girl holding a small pig in a suit in her hands until there was a knock on the door. This picture seemed slightly surreal to the boy.       – Tsunade-sama, I think this is a spy who penetrated the Hidden Sheet, – Michi's eyes widened at Kakashi's statement, it was just not enough that he was also recognized as a spy.       – Eh? This little kid? Do you have any proof, Kakashi? – Tsunade made a displeased face and rested her chin on her palm.       – He is strangely dressed, I think he appeared in the village with the help of some technique, I don't know what it looked like, but after that he immediately hid his chakra and I still don't feel his presence.       "God, what chakra, what technique? I'm standing in front of you, what the hell is the presence?" - the named spy did not understand what he was talking about at all.       – Wait! Believe me, I don't know what I'm doing here! I should have been hit by a car, a white Honda, I told you, Kakashi-san," after these words, Michi realized that he had not seen a single car in this city, and even more so the roadway. And he froze with his mouth slightly open, figuring out how else to justify himself.       – Cars? A Honda? What are you talking about, guy? Shizune, call Inoichi from the Analysis group, we'll figure it out now," Tsunade-sama seemed more annoyed than a minute earlier and already on a subconscious level it did not bode well.

      In the same building, Michisato was taken to a room with sofas and a tea table in the middle. Along the way, Tsunade managed to arrange an interrogation and found out that the main suspect is 10 years old, his name is Tanaka Michisato, lives in some country with a strange name and this year is finishing the 5th grade of junior school. Kakashi-san wanted to go home in the hokage's office as soon as Shizune married Inoichi, but Godaime glared at him angrily and said that he would be a witness. A tall man with blond hair in a ponytail and a red cape was already waiting in the room.       – Inoichi, do you need the rest of the group or can you handle it yourself? – Godaime wanted to quickly deal with the impending problem in the form of Michisato.       – If he doesn't resist, it will take a couple of minutes. I'll understand if I need help, – the man was clearly tipsy, – come on, guy, come on, lie down right here.       The fact that everyone called him a "guy", clearly with an element of a joke, amused him a little. Michi took off his windbreaker and hat, but his pants were still dirty and it was very awkward to lie down on a clean sofa.       – Close your eyes, – closed. The touch of a broad hand to the forehead, – hmm? For a second, – Inoichi folded his free hand in some strange gesture, but it didn't help him, – I can't do anything at all, I just can't see anything... this is my first time, Tsunade-sama. If this is some kind of mind barrier technique, then it's too powerful.       – Call someone from Hyuga with byakugan, – Tsunade turned to Shizune and frowned even more.       A few minutes later, a man dressed like Kakashi and this Inoichi entered the room with Shizune, but instead of the usual iris and pupils, his eyes were completely white, as if he had gone blind.       – Tokuma, can you please look at this guy through your dojutsu? – Tsunade asked, pointing her thumb over her back at Michi.       – Yes, Tsunade-sama! – this man folded his hands in some kind of gesture, and veins stood out terribly around his eyes, it seemed that one of them was about to burst. The man stared intently at the boy for about 15 seconds and finally spoke, – this is... how is it?       – What do you see?       – At first I thought it seemed to me, but... he completely lacks chakra channels, he just doesn't have it, no chakra, no channels, no tenketsu. I don't even see any seals.       – I, of course, allowed such a thought... but I didn't think it was possible, – everyone in the room arrived in mute shock, and Michi frankly didn't understand what was wrong, – Inoichi, Tokuma, you can be free, thanks for the work.       – Maa, maybe I should go home too? – Kakashi–san finally spoke up.       – Kakashi, you can go home, but take the kid with you, I'm giving you a new mission, – Tsunade-sama was about to leave.       – Wait! Tsunade-sama, can't ANBU look after him?       – And who were you before, Kakashi? Moreover, he has nowhere to live. Until we figure out what to do with him, you will be watching Michisato, especially since you told me in the morning that you want to take a little break from difficult missions. I'll ask Ibiki to conduct an interrogation tomorrow, he's busy today.       They left the hokage building and went the way that Kakashi led Michi.       – K-kakashi-san, I'm sorry…       – Let's be honest, nanny, what's your name… Michisato, I didn't ask for it and I still think that you are a spy from another village, the chakra can be completely hidden with sealing or a barrier, but watching you is my mission, at best for a couple of days. I'm not going to build a trusting relationship with the enemies of the village, – Kakashi's gaze was cold with a drop of hatred and chilled to the point of trembling.       – Sorry for the inconvenience... – Michi really felt disgusting, here he was clearly not welcome and had to endure his presence, with fright he even apologized extremely respectfully.       All the way to Kakashi's apartment, he stared at Konohagakure. Everything here was completely different and at the same time similar, it smelled more like a mixture of feudal Japan and Japan in the 90s, but not the native 21st century. He tightened his grip on the strap of his backpack, thinking how to get home now and how terrible the punishment would be for such a long absence. I didn't find anything interesting in Kakashi's backpack except unusual books, notebooks, a pencil case and an electronic device. Of course, he took the phone for himself, but he couldn't even turn it on.       – Kakashi-san, can I ask you a few questions? – Kakashi was silent and Michi took it for agreement, – why does everyone wear the same clothes?       – This is Konoha's shinobi form.       – And who is it? Shinobi? – too many new words for today.       – We are ninjas who carry out missions of the hidden village in which we live, do not pretend that you do not know this, I will not answer unnecessary questions.       Even at the grocery store, Michi didn't stop to ask Kakashi, he didn't remember a single road, too keen on absorbing information. So he managed to find out that there are some ninjas who perform missions, all living organisms have a chakra, and shinobi can use it and seals from their hands to create different techniques. Konoha is a hidden village of the land of Fire, and the hokage is the main one in the village and has equal privileges with the daimyo. They entered a small apartment on the top floor of a four-storey building with one room and a living room, which was combined with a kitchen. Michi has no real friends, so he hardly saw any other apartments, it was cleaned, even too much, the furniture was in good condition, and the floors were clean, which can not be said about his house, if that place could be called home at all.       – Take off your shoes and stand still.       – Sorry for the intrusion.

      The next morning, Michisato woke up on the couch in Kakashi's apartment, and the shinobi himself was sitting comfortably in an armchair with his eyes closed, still in uniform, but without a vest, and Michi's math textbook was lying next to him. Even a jerk will understand that one extra rustle and he will wake up, if he was sleeping at all. Kakashi gave him his old T-shirt, saying that in such dirt, no one would let anyone go further than the threshold. After the snowfall and collecting all the dirt in the alley, the windbreaker and pants resembled a brown lump. Michi took a sitting position, and jonin was already watching him, radiating an aura of lack of sleep. He was not going to leave unattended the alleged threat to the village, and due to the fact that the boy's presence was impossible to feel, he had to sit next to him all night and watch every involuntary movement.       – Your clothes are dry, you'll have breakfast and I'll take you to Ibiki, – Kakashi didn't show any emotion at all and left the room, giving time to change.       – And good morning to you, Kakashi-san.       Even with the stigma of a spy, he was treated too well, as it seemed to Michi. It became disgusting from myself, to cause people so much inconvenience just by my presence. He saw a plate of rice porridge with milk on the table and his chest tightened with pain, and a grimace of bitterness appeared on his face. The last time they cooked breakfast for him was in the second grade, when the mother decided to code and take up her son, but this did not last long.       – Thanks for the food... - tears welled up slightly in the green eyes.
