Putting a crocodile-skin scabbard on Yukihime, adjusting the forehead protector, tightening the combat suit, Kakashi looked at himself in the mirror, unable to suppress a smirk.
"Good morning, Kakashi, a Leaf Village Genin!" He turned around, ready to head out.
However, as he glanced back, Kakashi noticed Yukihime behind him once again. Unable to resist, he grabbed the hilt with one hand, carefully feeling its texture before finally leaving, content.
Because Kyomu and Kakashi's team leader was Sakumo, but Sakumo was away on a mission, so the two of them could only go together to the Hokage's office to pick up the simplest D-rank mission.
Although they were reluctant, they couldn't break the rules.
"Let's go find the lost cat," Kyomu waved the mission file in his hand, calling out to Kakashi.
"You seem more energetic today than yesterday," Kakashi couldn't help but size up Kyomu, "I wonder what happened to you yesterday..."
"Brat!" Kyomu glared at Kakashi, "Do you think I wanted to? If it wasn't for preparing a graduation gift for you, would I be so listless?"
Kakashi hesitated for a moment, then awkwardly turned his head away. "Well... thank you."
"That's more like it."
"And don't worry, I'll make up for your graduation gift," Kakashi hastily added, his gaze sincere.
"As you wish," Kyomu shrugged, "But if you're willing, I hope you can take care of those boring D-rank missions for me this month."
"Are you trying to slack off?"
"No, I just don't feel well," Kyomu shook his head, "I don't know why, I'm not feeling very energetic."
"Your physique and mental strength have always been stronger than mine, how come all of a sudden..."
"Maybe I've been too tired the past few months, and my body wants me to take a break."
Kyomu handed the mission file to Kakashi. "Do the D-rank missions for me for a month, consider it my graduation gift, how about that?"
After glancing at Kyomu, Kakashi wanted to refuse, but thinking of Yukihime on his back and remembering Kyomu's listless appearance yesterday, he reluctantly agreed.
"Fine," taking the mission file handed over by Kyomu, "Are you going home to rest now?"
"Yeah, I'm exhausted," Kyomu waved his hand and turned to leave, "So I'll leave it to you, Kakashi."
Watching Kyomu gradually disappear, Kakashi reached out to stop him but hesitated and let him go.
He actually wanted to ask where Kyomu got Yukihime from. But he felt that even if he asked, Kyomu might not tell him, so he decided to bury the question deep in his heart.
Unable to resist, he touched the hilt of Yukihime again, closing his eyes in enjoyment, unable to resist drawing it out.
It's really beautiful!
Kakashi played with it for a long time, then re-sheathed Yukihime. Finally, he glanced in the direction of Kyomu's house before heading off alone to carry out the D-rank mission of finding a lost cat.

With all the D-rank missions for this month handed over to Kakashi, Kyomu finally had time to start forging his own divine weapon.
As for whether he would fall into a coma and die at home due to excessive spiritual consumption, Kyomu was not worried.
His friends were very reliable.
Leaving a note, Kyomu sat by the bed and began to forge his own divine weapon.
Familiar mystical powers began to surge, flowing through his limbs and into his palms, slowly forming a faint golden glow.
Seeing the weapon embryo enveloped in the glow, Kyomu smirked, closing his eyes and concentrating. In his mind flashed the shape of the weapon he had planned long ago.
Tang Dao Sword!
It had always been Kyomu's dream sword, and now that he could forge it himself, he naturally wanted to make it perfect.
However, in terms of external appearance and details, Kyomu didn't need to add anything unnecessary. The black minimalist domineering style, even a little extra decoration would ruin its overall aesthetic.
So, Kyomu only needed to focus all his efforts on perfecting the practical performance of the black Tang Sword.
Slowly, Kyomu began to sweat on his forehead, and his body couldn't help trembling slightly, consuming a lot of spiritual energy.
But the sword embryo and scabbard, enveloped in the faint golden glow, had just taken shape at this moment, and there was still about two-thirds of the way to go before they were completely finished.
"The total length of the blade is 90 centimeters, which is the most comfortable length for drawing the sword for a slash. The blade length is controlled at 62 centimeters, leaving a 28-centimeter-long handle that can be used single-handedly or with both hands in battle."
Silently reciting, the black Tang Sword forged by Kyomu had completely completed its external shaping, leaving only the need to perfect the combat details.
"Because it's a straight blade, toughness is of paramount importance, followed by sharpness and weight, making it more suitable for chopping, which complements the sword techniques I've been practicing before."
Lastly, regarding the characteristics of the divine weapon, Kyomu had also long thought about it. Unlike the Uchiha clan's divine weapon, Uchiha's war fan, with its 'rebound' characteristic, Kyomu valued the 'cutting' characteristic more.
"The characteristic of the divine weapon is to cut through everything..."
Thinking of this, Kyomu was shocked to find that the faint golden glow in his hand was deepening, clearly aiming for a mythical level, which frightened him into changing his words immediately.
"It's not cutting through everything, it's cutting through any ninjutsu attack primarily formed by chakra."
Kyomu quickly tried to cover the loophole, and the faint golden glow in his hand finally stabilized. It's a divine weapon, not a mythical one.
He saved himself, but...
Just as he managed to dispel the faint golden glow, the black Tang Sword that bounced out from it hugged in his arms, Kyomu's eyes rolled back, and his consciousness fell into silence.
Thud~
As his body fell onto the bed, twitching a couple of times, his breathing became irregular and weak.
---
Unconsciously, time passed into the afternoon.
Kakashi did the work of three people alone, completing three D-rank missions in one go.
Finding a cat, fetching water, picking up trash—these tasks were completely unrelated to the ninja profession, and Kakashi felt like dying.
It felt like being used as a laborer!
"Let's see how Kyomu's resting," Kakashi stepped up his pace, heading towards Kyomu's house, regretting his agreement and hoping to find a way to back out.
Kakashi really didn't want to do those low-level missions, and he wanted to drag Kyomu into it, letting him experience the frustration he had felt before.
Arriving at Kyomu's house, Kakashi climbed over the wall directly, feeling like a thief.
"Kyomu!" No one answered his call, and Kakashi couldn't help but furrow his brows, "This guy, why is he so quiet today."
Seeing the tightly closed door, Kakashi decided to enter through the window, just like a ninja would.
"That's quite a unique sleeping position," Kakashi saw Kyomu lying on the bed, the corners of his mouth beneath the mask couldn't help but curve up, "Hey, stop pretending to sleep. Just because of that, you won't be able to avoid doing D-rank missions with me tomorrow."
Approaching Kyomu, Kakashi said, "Yes, I came back, but I won't return Yukihime. Can you...?"
His words stopped abruptly, and Kakashi's face changed drastically. The Kyomu lying on the bed, who he had propped up, had a complexion as pale as gold paper, his breathing irregular and almost imperceptible.
"Kyomu, you...!"
His peripheral vision caught sight of a piece of paper on the bedside table, and Kakashi quickly grabbed it and scanned it at lightning speed.
'Don't take me to the Konoha Hospital. There's a life-saving secret medicine in the bedside table, given to me by Shikaku. Feed it to me and then find Rin, Obito, and Guy to come over.
Remember, don't make a sound, don't make a sound, don't make a single sound!'
Without much thought, Kakashi, unwilling to go against Kyomu's wishes, quickly opened the bedside table and took out the red pill, stuffing it into Kyomu's mouth.
Holding Kyomu's chin, Kakashi shook his head up and down, seeing him making swallowing movements, then finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With the medicine ingested, Kyomu's complexion visibly improved, and his breathing gradually became stronger and smoother. Kakashi's heart, which had been in his throat, finally returned to its place.
Finally, after looking at Kyomu again, Kakashi, following his instructions, left through the window to find Rin, Obito, and Guy.
But as he ran frantically, Kakashi couldn't help but picture the black Tang Sword that Aragami tightly hugged in his arms.
It's really cool, and so domineering!
