4 Start of the trip. (Revised)

While Kakashi was outside the cabin, he approached the horse that was tied to a tree.

It was a beautiful black horse, the horse seemed to be well taken care of, Kakashi ran his hand over the horse, caressing the animal.

'Pakkun told me that this horse was found when they were on the way to the cabin, it was probably this Witcher's horse'.

Observing the horse closely, Kakashi notices some side bags in the horse's cell.

The bags didn't look like they had been touched by the family, Kakashi decided to investigate what they were keeping.

Kakashi found some books, horse food, some bombs, some bags with coins about 20 gold, 30 silver and 15 bronze coins, some dried meat, fruit and two bottles that contained a drink with a very high alcohol content. high.

Kakashi took an apple out of a bag and gave it to the horse.

He was alone in that place, Pakkun had already returned to the world of summons.

Lighting a fire near a tree, which was next to the cabin.

Sitting with his back against the tree, Kakashi decided to take one of the books.

Introduction to magical creatures and their characteristics.

Rare magical creatures and their variants.

Introduction to Witcher skills and their signs.

Places rich in magic and how they were born.

Kakashi realizes that he doesn't know those letters, but for some reason, he could read and understand the titles of the books.

He tried to think of a plausible answer to that event, but Kakashi realized he couldn't find an answer, he was lacking too much information.

That had been a very long day, and Kakashi knew he needed some rest to clear his mind, sometimes the answer came naturally after a good night's sleep.

Kakashi made a clone and placed it in a nearby tree, so that the clone could observe any possible threats.

He was ready to take a short nap, so he could recover his stamina.

Leaning his head against the tree, he closes his eyes and relaxes.

At dawn Kakashi hears the sound of the cabin door opening.

Opening his eyes he slowly turned to see who was leaving, he saw the teenager leaving the house.

Júlia with big black circles under her eyes that were red, she looked around looking for something.

Kakashi felt sorry for her, he realized the pain she was feeling, Kakashi already felt a similar way.

'Poor girl, I know what that feeling of helplessness is like.'

Guilt and pain coursed through Kakashi's soul for years, causing him to push away everyone who cared about him, even today he still feels remnants of the overwhelming guilt.

Julia approached Kakashi and stood there looking at the fire.

"I..." Julia tried to speak, but couldn't, it felt like the words were choked in her throat.

Kakashi got up and approached her, placed his hand on Júlia's head and caressed her.

Sobbing silently for a while, Júlia let her tears flow, she cried until she calmed down.

Looking teary-eyed at Kakashi, Julia finally managed to speak.

"I don't think I was a good daughter, I was rebellious and stupid, I fought with him for treating me like a child", she paused a little, so she could speak again, as her voice was mixed with her crying.

"I wanted to show him that I was an adult woman, but it's only now that I realize how stupid I am just a child", Júlia paused again, when her voice started to get hoarse, she couldn't say anything else the pain was too great.

"I know how you feel, I went through something similar when I lost my father, I felt overwhelming pain" Kakashi paused and remembered his past, when he was consumed by pain, how hellish his days were.

Kakashi didn't want this girl, who had even more losses than him, was consumed by the same darkness as him.

Looking into Julia's eyes, Kakashi said, "You know, Julia, I also blamed myself, I kept asking myself what I could have done differently, but I learned that this kind of feeling is not good."

"Your father wouldn't like to see you suffering like this, I'm sure he loved you very much," Kakashi took her hands and led her to where he was, and sat her down next to her near the fire.

Kakashi knew the heat from the fire would help a little.

Júlia and Kakashi started exchanging memories about their parents, they talked about good and funny memories.

This conversation between the two helped Júlia feel a little better.

"Are you sure you're only 5? Kakashi you seem more mature than many adults I know."

Smiling at Kakashi she continued.

"You look like my teacher, you know how to use words to calm us down and to make us see the truth with our own eyes."

"Thanks to you, I understand what I must do, the best way to honor my father's memory is to make him proud of me"

Júlia continued her little outburst.

"You know, my father always said that when I turned 16, he would take me to Oxenfurt, to study", Júlia spoke endlessly about her father.

She had a small smile, full of affection, sadness and longing.

The two talked until Antoni came out of the cabin when dawn came, he looked confused looking at the two who were sitting side by side and talking for who knows how long.

His niece was so entertained that she didn't seem to notice the door creaking open, but the boy waved at him, so he approached the two and let his niece notice him.

"Good morning", the man's voice seemed to startle Júlia, who was taken by surprise. "You seem to be getting along well, how long have you been talking?"

Without turning around, Kakashi replied, "We've been talking for a few hours, Julia couldn't sleep and left to clear her head, so I kept her company."

Antoni looking at Kakashi and his niece, decides to tell them the decision they made.

"We are planning to start our trip today, we don't want to stay any longer in this place full of bad memories."

His family didn't want to go back to their hometown, or stay in this cabin, they wanted to have a new start, where they could have a new life.

"Kakashi, I would like to ask you if you would like to go with us, to the city of Rinde?", the man said, touching his beard, he seemed a little embarrassed.

This situation was new for him, Antoni did not expect in his life to have to ask a boy to accompany him and his family on a trip, he is embarrassed to tell Kakashi that he would be calmer with his presence.

But it wasn't just about protecting his family, Antoni was very grateful to Kakashi, he wanted to trust this boy to be part of his family, but he didn't know how, Antoni wanted to adopt Kakashi.

"I'll accompany you to Rinde, once there I'll decide what I'm going to do", Kakashi captured the little information that Antoni's expression let slip, but he wouldn't decide what to do at that moment, he needed more information to be able to make his decision. decision.

Kakashi took the food bag, he took out some fruit and dried meat and gave it to Antoni, "Here for you and your family, you're going to need to eat after that difficult night you had."

Julia also got her food potion.

Antoni called his family out of the hut and divided the food, he gave much of it to the children who were growing up, and he, his wife and Ilona divided the smaller part between them.

"Eat well, don't try to save it for later, we have a long way to go, we need to be well fed", Antoni told the two children.

After eating, they went to the cabin to pack their things so they could quickly leave for Rinde.

Kakashi made his clone stand on top of the trees observing everything while the clone read a book.

Introduction to magical creatures and their characteristics.

Kakashi observed Naruto training and realized the unexplored potential in using clones.

Kakashi wanted to test to verify the limitations and advantages that such a means of obtaining information could have.

Ninjas used clones to obtain small information, but this time he would see how the clone would do by obtaining so much completely new information.

After a short while the family left the cabin ready to leave, they didn't have much luggage, so each person took practically a single bag.

Gabriel and Cecylia approached Kakashi.

"Big brother, where is Pakkun? I haven't seen him in a while, did he get lost?" Gabriel asked curiously, looking around confused as to why the talking puppy couldn't be found.

"He didn't get lost, I sent him home, I'll call him back when I need him, so don't worry."

The child stopped looking for the dog and fixed his gaze on Kakashi's face, which was almost completely covered, then pointed to his face.

"Big brother, why do you hide your face with cloth, you're ugly?", only a child could ask something like that so naturally and without malice in his heart.

"Are you curious? Do you want to see what's under the mask?", Kakashi was instigating their curiosity.

They nodded vigorously, the children's curiosity was naturally great, but it wasn't just them who were curious, the adults also wanted to see Kakashi's face.

Lifting his bandana in a theatrical manner, Kakashi let them see his giant scar that covered part of his face, leaving those present shocked by the appearance of this scar that crossed his eye.

After realizing he had made them even more curious, Kakashi was slowly lowering his mask.

The family was very curious to see what his face looked like, they even forgot to breathe in anticipation, but when he took off his mask it disappointed them.

There was another mask of the same color underneath the first mask, "Who knows, maybe one day you'll discover what's underneath the second mask, a third perhaps?"

Kakashi liked to use this trick to frustrate onlookers and break a bad mood, and it always worked, no one expected him to wear another mask underneath the first one.

After this frustrating revelation for the family, they took one last look at the place they once called home and left on their journey.

After a good while of walking the children were already tired, so Kakashi offered to carry Antoni's bag so he could carry them on his shoulders.

The horse was already carrying some bags, Kakashi knew it would be risky to add more weight to it.

Julia approached Kakashi worriedly.

"Isn't it very difficult for you to carry so much weight?" Kakashi shakes his head in denial.

"It's not difficult at all, in fact it's very light to carry, so there's no need to worry, I can do it", Kakashi realized that Julia wanted to say something, he had already noticed that she had become a little strange since she saw the your scar.

"Do you want to ask how I got this scar? Or do you want to know what my face looks like under the mask?"

Julia really wanted to choose the second option, but she didn't want to be rude, because she felt that Kakashi must have a good reason for covering her face.

Then she looked into his eyes and said, "You don't need to tell me if it's a sensitive topic, I'm just a little curious."

"You don't need to worry Julia, it's normal, being curious isn't a big deal really," Kakashi began to relate how he got his scar on his left eye.

"This happened when I was younger, my best friend Óbito and I were trying to rescue a friend who had been kidnapped."

Kakashi touched his scar as if remembering.

"I was careless and I was taken by surprise, and my carelessness cost me an eye, but I don't regret having suffered this injury, that day I learned a great lesson."

Julia was surprised by that statement, the conversation they had last night showed him that Kakashi was more mature than he should be, but the more she talked to him, the more Julia felt like she was talking to an adult.

"You know, Kakashi, you really don't look like a child, I can't understand how a child can be as mature as you", it wasn't just Julia who was surprised by Kakashi's maturity, his entire family felt the same way.

This situation was really complicated, Kakashi didn't want to raise suspicions about his identity, however he decided that he couldn't be too childish, the family had to trust Kakashi and he could only gain that trust by showing himself mature.

But he couldn't look too mature, he had to blend well, between pretending to be a child and showing maturity, it was difficult, however Kakashi was once a spy ninja he knew what he had to do.

It was difficult trying to act like a child, but Kakashi has been trying to appear more childish, he just can't be too childish because otherwise he will lose the freedom and confidence to be able to act in the best way possible.

Stuck in this dilemma, Kakashi decided to be more careful with his words and actions.

"Do you think this is strange?"

Júlia shook her head vigorously, denying it.

"No, actually I like it a lot, there's nothing strange about it, it doesn't have to be like that, I'm just jealous of your maturity, I would even like to have an older brother like you."

She made several arguments that anyone with a little more experience would know were just excuses, Julia thought she had offended Kakashi.

Kakashi said jokingly, "Yes, you see I'm very mature, so listen to what the voice of experience has to say."

He was trying to reassure Julia, conveying that everything was fine.

Julia joined in the game with Kakashi, seeing the two playing made a small smile appear on Ilona's face.

'A few later, Kakashi will make a great son-in-law,' she was thinking about how she could bring the two together.

They continued playing with each other until the moment when everyone had to stop to eat and rest.

The family was going to eat the food that Kakashi found in the bags on the Witcher's horse, but Kakashi stopped them by taking the few fruits that remained and the dried meat, which was supposed to be used in times of emergency.

Kakashi knew it was better to save food for times of scarcity.

"Stay there and prepare the fire, and the utensils to make meat, I'm going to hunt something to feed us", said Kakashi before entering the forest in search of animals.

Julia wanted to stop him, talking about the danger, but she couldn't stop Kakashi in time.

Returning with some small animals, they ate and continued their journey.

The path to Rinde was mostly peaceful and without much threat, there were only a few small setbacks that Kakashi quickly resolved.

Kakashi that they would be able to reach the city of Rinde without much difficulty, until on the morning of the seventh day Antoni woke up feeling a lot of pain.

Antoni had a high fever, trying to get up with difficulty, Kakashi stopped Antoni and asked to see his arm.

"It's no big deal, I'm fine we can continue our trip", Kakashi was not convinced, he took his arm, took off the bandages and began to examine it.

"Do you want to lose your arm? Because you didn't do as I told you."

Seeing the situation in Antoni's arm made Kakashi furious with his idiocy.

"I told you that you had to clean and change the cloth every day, you didn't obey me and look how your arm looked, your wounds got worse."

The family was worried when they saw the way Kakashi was acting.

"I'm sorry, I hid it because I didn't want to delay our arrival in Rinde", Antoni was embarrassed to be reprimanded in front of his family.

"We're going to have to postpone our trip, until you get better, your stubbornness will delay us, don't hide anything like that anymore", Kakashi took a kunai, threw alcohol on it and made small cuts on Antoni's arm, who was screaming in pain,

Anna wanted to stop Kakashi, but Julia stopped her saying that he had to do it, and that it was for Antoni's good.

A strange green liquid leaked from the areas where Kakashi made the cuts and he squeezed Antoni's arm until normal blood started to come out of him.

Kakashi took the alcohol he used to sterilize the kunai on Antoni's wound.

Making Antoni scream even louder, so Kakashi repeated the cleaning process once more, he wanted to clean off anything that could harm Antoni's treatment.

After cleaning, Kakashi placed his hand on Antoni's wound and used the mystic palm, the wounds on Antoni's arm were closing quickly.

"Don't let him do anything physically exhausting today, I'll look for suitable food for him, I'll be back in a little while."

Kakashi went in search of more suitable food for a sick person, he came up with a dead deer and some fruit, two apples, five bananas.

Afterwards Kakashi told Anna to feed Antoni some of the deer's meat and fruit throughout the day, and said that Antoni had to drink a lot of fluids, and in the evening he was going to treat his arm again, so he jumped and climbed into a tree branch and rested, the tiredness was visible on his little face.

The deer was too heavy for his small body.

At nightfall he once again treated Antoni's wounds, and the next day Antoni woke up much healthier and ready to continue his journey.

That day Kakashi's clone had finally finished reading the book.

Kakashi discovered that using clones to learn a lot of information was not as practical as he thought.

Even if the clone was able to read everything in those three days, most of the information was lost when the memories came back to him.

He thought he would have to repeat it a few times, until all the information in the book was completely learned by him.

Learning more about using clones to obtain information, Kakashi discovered that it was not very practical, the clones did not retain much of the information.

He had to repeat it a few times until all the information in the book was completely learned by him.

Discovering a little more about this world and its monsters, and about the Witches, he also learned about some tools they used, such as the use of silver against monsters and the medallion to find monsters and places of magic.

Kakashi learned about the divisions of monsters, which were the Cursed, Draconians, Elementa, Hybrids, Insectoids, Scavengers, Ogroids, Relics, Specters and Vampires.

The book described the general characteristics that are common to all creatures in these groups and also contained a small explanation of their general characteristics.

Scavengers, monsters that fed on corpses, but did not just feed on the dead, there are several reports of Scavengers that attack living beings.

They are found in places where there are many bodies scattered, wars and massacres are their ideal homes.

Insectoids is the name given to the group of arthropod-like monsters that are typically found in forests, fields, woodlands and swamps.

Although the Insectoids group also includes monsters similar to other animals, such as crabs.

Ogroids is an uncommon term used to refer to a creature or being that has characteristics similar to an ogre.

With a large and prominent muscular body, rough skin and sharp teeth, but it is not necessarily a "classic" ogre.

The Cursed beings assigned to this class are generally created as a result of curse, often from human or humanoid specimens.

Cursed people are not always irrational, there are specimens that live in society like any other, and can have a relatively normal life.

Draconids are a diverse order of quasi-reptiles that often cause problems for the humanoid races, while the creature most commonly associated with the Draconids is the true dragon.

The most populous members of this order are actually the so-called lesser draconids.

True dragons, on the other hand, are larger, have two pairs of well-developed legs, huge wings and tail, and obvious intelligence. However, there are mutations of this scheme.

A significant number of draconids do not have wings, such as dracoturtles or vigilosaurs.

Elementals are entities that live on one of the Elemental or Para-Elemental Planes, or the Material Plane, but fueled by elemental power.

The Elementa vary in intellect and abilities, the Beufrae are a sentient race with abilities comparable to those of archmasters of magic.

While Genies are beings with almost immeasurable power, having the abilities to fulfill any desire.

But they are naturally evil creatures that tend to fulfill their master's wishes in the worst possible way.

That's why all care is necessary when making wishes come true, as they can come true.

Hybrids combine the capabilities, strengths and weaknesses of different creatures.

Additionally, as a combination of other species, hybrids are versatile in their offensive capabilities, hybrids vary in form, intelligence, and abilities.

Relics are creatures about which we have little information, they are often considered demons or gods depending on how they appear and the place where they reside.

Relics vary in many shapes and sizes, few examples have been found throughout history.

Specters are hypernyms used to refer to spectral creatures that often haunt cemeteries and crypts.

Sometimes, however, specters are linked to a specific person or place.

Some unfinished business keeps them trapped on the mortal plane, the specters are immune to most attacks, but give a small opening when they materialize to carry out an attack.

Many legends suggest that specters are the beings about whom peasants have the most information.

They are often trapped in forests where traumatic and violet deaths have occurred, they are beings that have been trapped on the mortal plane and have gone mad over time, the most common are apparitions.

Vampire used to refer to a number of creatures that thrive on blood, which contains the life force of their victims.

They are divided into two different castes, the higher and lower vampires, some can become invisible and even manipulate the minds of their victims.

When Kakashi finally assimilated all the information, he realized how dangerous this world is.

There were many creatures that were not classified and many others that even if they had information about them would be very difficult to face.

However, one creature in particular caught Kakashi's attention, the Djin, a being that could perhaps take him back to the house.
