Ken Gaiden short ep.

 

White Light Chakra Sabre

Kakashi: Ken, congratulations on passing the exam to become a genin!

Mina: Congratulations, Ken-chan. My son is the best~ Today we have to celebrate!

Ken: Thank you!

 

Kakashi: I have a present for you. Come and sit here.

Ken: Really? Yay!

 

Ken: Hey, this is Grandpa’s sword. I’ve also heard his nickname. He is really cool! Is this really for me!?

Kakashi: From now on, it belongs to you, Ken.

Ken: Awesome. Thank you!

 

 

Ken: Grandpa, I’ll take good care of it!

 

 

 

[Ken, 15 yrs] Because my dad told me that this sword had broken once. So I never thought of using it. I just want to carry it with me because it was a gift from my parents. I need to find a good blacksmith to repair it for me.

Ken: Dad, what are you doing here? Are you going to the opening ceremony?

Kakashi: Hey, Ken.

 

Ken: Hello, Daimyo-sama.

Daimyo: Hello.

 

Kakashi: Anyway, you should call me Hokage.

 

Ken: Eh?

 

 

Ken: I understand. I apologize, Hokage-sama.

Kakashi: W-what!?

 

Ken: Then I’ll excuse myself. I’m sorry to bother you, Hokage-sama.

Kakashi: Uh… Wait…

 

Daimyo: Is that your son? He looks so handsome even though he’s still young. He doesn’t seem happy about calling his father Hokage. You don’t have to be so serious. I don’t mind.

Kakashi: Uh… yeah.

 

Kakashi: (What was I thinking when I said that to Ken? It’s the first time I’ve ever seen him make that face.)

 

Kakashi: Hey Ken, are you going home? I just finished work. Let’s go home together.

 

 

Ken: I… have something to do. Please go back first, Hokage-sama.

Kakashi: W-what!?

 

Kakashi: Wait, at a time like this, you don’t have to call me Hokage. It looks…

Ken: It’s fine. So that I can get used to it. I won’t accidentally call you dad again. Excuse me.

 

 

Kakashi: Speaking of which, how was your day, Ken?

Ken: It was good, everything was fine.

Kakashi: H.. Have you already gathered the information for the mission? Do you need my help?

Ken: It’s fine, I’ve already gathered a lot of information. Thank you, Hokage-sama.

 

Kakashi: (Hokage-sama?)

Mina: Ken-chan, why are you calling your dad Hokage when you are at home? Are you still mad at him about what happened at noon?

 

Ken: Why should I be angry about that, Mom? Isn’t it the right thing to do? I just have to call him that to get used to it, that’s all.

 

Mina: But that…

Ken: It’s nothing. I’m full. I’m going to take a shower and go to sleep.

 

Kakashi: Ken, are you asleep yet?

 

 

Kakashi: Ken… Are you asleep?

 

 

Kakashi: Listen, I know you are feeling bad. I feel bad for say that too. If you still don’t hate me, can you please call me dad like before?

 

 

Ken: …Will it be okay if other people know that I’m your son?

 

Kakashi: Don’t say that. At that time, I didn’t intend to do that, you know? I was talking to the Daimyo and didn’t think about it. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want other people to know that you are my son.

 

Kakashi: I’m really sorry, so please forgive me for once and stop calling me Hokage.

 

Kakashi: I’d rather you call me dad anytime, you know?

 

Ken: Okay, Hokage-sama.

Kakashi: Come on, don’t joke around…
