I think Kakashi must be thinking that my parents died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

I don't know how to treat Uchiha Sasuke, but Kakashi may think that I don't know how to treat Naruto.

It helped that I asked him questions so I didn't feel the need for clarification.

But I didn't admit it myself. All of this was preconceived by him.

When I realized this, I suddenly realized that I wasn't so untalented as a ninja - I would deliberately mislead people, and moreover, I even deliberately misled an outstanding jonin of Konoha!

He would become the sixth Hokage of Konoha in the future, and shortly before I was born, he died in a battle with Uchiha Sasuke while covering the transfer of a base.

I didn't see him when I was born, nor did I have a spiritual connection with him, but his figure appears in the memories of many of my companions.

They all respected and admired him very much and were deeply saddened by his passing.

Although he only led a team of Genin in Team 7, many people in later generations regarded him as a teacher.

Seeing that he couldn't answer my question, I hugged Naruto, with no intention of making things difficult for him.

I changed the subject and said, "Then Mr. Kakashi...if you could travel through time and space and go back to the past, would you save that female friend who is very important to you?"

Kakashi looked at my face and was slightly startled.

"Travel through time?"

"Yeah! I went to see a movie with Shikamaru yesterday. It was about a heroine who died and the hero was very sad. One day he suddenly went back to the past and saved the heroine." I asked, "If it was Mr. Kakashi, would he save her?"

"...Yes. Of course. Not only her... but also many others, if there is a chance..."

"But, that movie said that the world would change and eventually collapse because of this, so the hero had to watch the heroine die again in order to protect the world." I wrinkled my nose: "I hate this setting. What about Mr. Kakashi? He just wanted to save one person, but he threatened the whole world. It's too much."

Naruto raised his head from the crook of my neck and said loudly, "I hate this setting too!"

Kakashi smiled helplessly: "It's just a movie."

"Indeed... the movie is fictional. However, I discussed time travel with Shikamaru yesterday, and he said... even if we go back to the past, Mr. Kakashi and I would not be able to save the people we want to save."

Naruto was immediately unconvinced and asked, "Why?"

"Because changing the past will only lead to a new future, and those who go back to the past will only go to the new future with the people in the past, but they cannot go back to the original future. Those who died in the original future will never come back..."

Naruto thought about it and said in confusion: "Why do you think so? If I go back to the day when I separated from my parents and knew where they went, maybe I can live with them! Why do I have to think about the original future and their original selves? It's so complicated!"

"What if a monster appears in the future? I will send Naruto to the past, hoping that Naruto can defeat the monster in the past and change the future I am in. Even if Naruto completes the task, he will only create a future without monsters, but the world I am in will not change at all. While Naruto lives happily in the new future, I will live a lonely life without Naruto in the old future. Maybe I will wonder every day, has Naruto completed the task? Has he done it? When will he come back? In my thoughts, maybe one day I will be killed by a monster..."

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!" Naruto covered his ears and screamed, "I don't want to listen to it! It's not like that, I don't accept it! It's all Shikamaru's nonsense! What he said is not right!!"

Kakashi repeated, "Asaro, don't be so pessimistic. It's just a movie."

"But after watching that movie yesterday, I thought about a lot of things...Mr. Kakashi, you lost so many companions. Do you feel guilty and painful for being the only one who survived? Do you feel that you are unworthy?"

Kakashi was shocked.

"I had never realized this problem before... but I suddenly became a little scared last night... I was afraid that I was not the one who deserved to survive... My family... they let me survive because they must have hoped that I could become an excellent and useful person who met their expectations... I was afraid that I... would disappoint their expectations and waste the opportunity they had fought for me with their lives. I..."

Before I could finish my words, Kakashi suddenly hugged me and Naruto.

Naruto didn't struggle, he just hugged me silently: "Asaro is fine!"

He emphasized stubbornly and persistently: "Chao Lu is definitely not unworthy!"

Kakashi also said: "Naruto is right."

He looked up and said to me, "Don't think like that, Chaolu. If you can survive, your family will only be happy. How could they set conditions for you and ask you to do this or that in order for them to love you?"

I had no way of telling them the truth, so their comfort was not really that comforting to me.

The feeling of being unable to do anything about it made me a little sad: "It's not like that... If I can't do it... I will feel very sorry for them. So I must do it... I must be very outstanding and excellent... I must never let them down..."

Kakashi could probably sense that I wasn't feeling comforted and that my reaction was unacceptable to him, but he didn't know what to say to make me feel relieved.

Seeing that his brows were furrowed and his jaw was tense, and he looked like he wanted to comfort me but didn't know how to say it, I thought that if I made a request to him at this moment, the possibility of him rejecting me would be greatly reduced.

——I want him to help me and Naruto with extracurricular tutoring.

After watching the movie yesterday, I thought a lot and felt that I couldn't waste this meeting with Kakashi.

Ino-Shika-Chou will have extra family training after school, and Hyuga Hinata will definitely get extra guidance from the Hyuga family...

Uchiha Sasuke's family was destroyed, otherwise his father and brothers would definitely teach him the family ninjutsu.

I know that it is impossible for me to match the family background of these people from prominent families, but I must find a way to catch up and not fall too far behind.

And Kakashi Hatake is the best candidate for extracurricular tutoring.

But he didn't say anything, so I could only lay the groundwork.

"Mr. Kakashi... Thank you, you're so nice to me. And Naruto, I'm sorry, I said some weird things..."

Naruto hugged me angrily, "Let's not play with Shikamaru anymore! It's because he said these weird things that made you feel bad!"

Kakashi said, "No...it's okay...you can always come to me if you have any problems in the future."

As soon as I heard this, I realized the time had come.

"Really?"

"Ah."

"Now, can I trouble you with one more thing?"

"what?"

"Can you teach me and Naruto the transformation jutsu?"
