gold and silver rule

Naruto, who walked over with a smile, thought that Naruto couldn't help but get hot when he heard what he said: "Naruto? Why are you still here?" Then he immediately thought of what Naruto told him not to leave immediately yesterday, no longer speak out.

Without answering Kakashi's question, Naruto walked to the memorial tablet, clasped his hands together and closed his eyes, and the breath around him softened.

Looking at Naruto like this, Kakashi, who knew who he was looking for, felt a little pain in his heart.Although I knew that Naruto had already guessed who his parents were, but...

Naruto, is it because of this reason that he is unwilling to open his heart to the people in the village?

Kakashi was taken aback by his sudden flash of thought, but the more he thought about it, the more Kakashi felt that what he expected was right, sank into his own thoughts for a while.

Is that so, is that why he is so indifferent to the people in the village?

In the heart of this child, he must think that his parents died because of protecting the village, right?Naruto, will he be resentful?

Kakashi, who was thinking like this, couldn't help asking: "Naruto, you told me not to leave today, what is the reason?"

Opening his eyes, Naruto was silent for a while, and then said: "No, it's already, it's nothing."

"Oh?"

"Kakashi-san, maybe I was wrong before. I have never had such a thing as a companion, so I don't think it is very important. But now it seems... Maybe it is very precious."

"Is that so..." Kakashi felt relieved looking at the boy with a gentle expression who said so.Then I heard him say, "Anyway, thank you, Kakashi-san."

Slightly stunned for a moment, Kakashi turned his head to look at the boy beside him, and found that his pair of blue eyes were staring at him with warm emotions.

With an unexplained fever on his face, Kakashi replied somewhat unnaturally: "Ah... why don't you thank me, you don't need to thank me, as long as you think so."

"Ah, that's right."

"what happened?"

Grabbing Kakashi's hand, Naruto made his hand meet his five fingers: "I'm sorry before. I have something to give you. Wait a minute..."

Watching Naruto close his eyes while maintaining this posture, Kakashi felt the strange yet familiar heat from that hand, and moved a little uncomfortably: "Naruto... it hurts!"

Looking at Naruto suspiciously, he suddenly slapped another hand on the wound on his arm that was scratched by Feng Dun, Kakashi obediently stopped moving.Looking at the boy's serious and calm face, Kakashi suddenly felt his heart beat a little faster.

Hey, that's weird, why is your heart beating faster like a girl's suddenly?

This is the inner monologue of Hatake Kakashi, a loyal reader of "Kind to Heaven".

But...Looking at Naruto's closed eyes again, Kakashi felt that such a feeling was not bad.But why am I so weird?

Seeing Naruto opened his eyes, Kakashi decided not to think about it anymore. "Naruto? What's wrong?"

Smiling at Kakashi, Naruto said, "I was feeling your chakra just now. By the way, I will learn something from... Kakashi-san, please sit down and watch."

Puzzled by Naruto's words, Kakashi sat on a stone casually, and suddenly found a red chakra gushing out of Naruto's body, gradually wrapping himself.

Shocked, Kakashi, who guessed what it was, wanted to get out of the red chakra package, and at the same time shouted anxiously: "Naruto..." But he was surprised to find that many small wounds on his body were healing.

Looking at the surprised Kakashi, Naruto thought to himself: Hatake Kakashi, this person... cares about me from the bottom of his heart.Turning his gaze to the silver hair, Naruto's eyes became softer: Sure enough, people with silver hair are not bad, Yuxi.

As for Kakashi, looking at Naruto's gaze at this time, it was obviously a look of recalling the past, and he felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.

Different from the gentleness that still has a little concern and caution towards me, the tenderness towards this person you think of, Naruto...you have no grudges or reservations, and you have given all your heart to that person.

Is that person... the one Naruto likes?

...I think what are these for?

Kakashi, who suddenly woke up from his own thoughts, looked up, and happened to see a pair of eyes that were also in deep thought.

Noticing that Kakashi came back to his senses, Naruto blinked and said suddenly: "Kakashi-san...can I trust you?"

After finishing speaking, before Kakashi could answer, he answered himself again: "Well... this kind of thing, you still have to judge for yourself." : "It's getting late, Kakashi-san..."

"Naruto!" For the first time, Kakashi interrupted Naruto, looking at the doubtful young man, Kakashi took a deep breath and said, "You can really judge for yourself whether I can be trusted...but regardless Believe it or not, I will tell you: I will never betray you, I will always be your... most staunch supporter!"

Looking at the stunned boy, Kakashi was also surprised that he was so frank, but after a pause, he continued: "Also... I am Kakashi Hatake, Naruto."

Opening his eyes slightly, Naruto was silent for a while, and then smiled at Kakashi: "It really surprised me... But, I never look at other people through you, Kakashi. It's just that Sometimes I will look at you and suddenly remember the past."

Kakashi felt that this was Naruto's first sincere smile to himself, without any scruples.

Looking at the black eyes that showed joy because of his address, Naruto went on to say, "Well, why don't I treat you to dinner? Salted saury is my specialty."

"Really? Then I will trouble you, Naruto! Let's go!"

"Hi hi..."

Two people walking side by side on the road, one is a handsome boy with brilliant blond hair and ice-cold blue pupils, the other is a silver-haired young man with soft silver hair and black pupils full of joy; this beautiful picture seems to last forever.

☆, the first battle

The country of fire, Konoha Ninja Village.

This is a quiet village, but since about a month ago, there have been frequent noises here.

This morning was undoubtedly another noisy start.

"...Sasuke, it's heading towards you, stop it!"

"Look at me...not good, I ran away again! Sakura!"

"Well! Be good kitty, don't move around, I don't mean anything... ah!"

The cherry-haired girl gently approached a brown kitten like coaxing a child, waiting for an opportunity to grab it, but... the kitten turned around deftly, and even kicked the girl, scurrying away Far.

Not far from the girl were two handsome boys, but they seemed to be in a bit of a panic at the moment.

Naruto sat on a rock as if discouraged, and looked helplessly at the leisurely kitten in the grass: "I said, is this the first time we have caught it?"

Sasuke bent over, panting with his hands on his knees, staring fiercely at the brown: "Third time!"

Sakura wailed: "Really, this cat has been chased by us, and it is becoming more and more difficult to catch! And Kakashi-sensei is also the same, what's called 'exercise cooperation ability', it is simply too troublesome to come!"

Speechlessly looking at the sky, Naruto stood up as if he had made up his mind, and said to the two people around him: "It's time to get serious, you two listen closely..."

In the grass not far away, a cat with a purple bow tied around its neck looked at them leisurely, wagging its tail behind it.

Seeing the three people looking at it maliciously, the kitten stood up immediately, bowed its waist and stood on guard, staring closely at the three people walking towards it.

Suddenly, the pink-haired girl and the black-haired boy disappeared, leaving only the blond one.He reached into the ninja bag and took out something... and threw it over!

The kitten nimbly jumped up to avoid it, but unexpectedly found that those things were not shot at it, but spread all over the place.

Seeing the kitten baring its teeth as if mocking him, Naruto suddenly smiled mysteriously.Then, the clever kitten found that he was surrounded by a layer of things, panicked for a moment, but soon found that the layer was very thin, so he tried his best to smash through the obstructing things in one fell swoop.

Naruto, who was not far away, saw this, knew something was wrong, and hurriedly ran towards the cat.

Just kidding, where would I put my face if you ran away?

Seeing that the kitten broke the barrier, Naruto didn't care about his image anymore, he used his legs hard, and jumped forward, and it seemed that he was about to succeed, but...

Suddenly, a puff of white smoke burst out in front of his eyes, and at the same time Kakashi's lazy voice sounded: "Yo, everyone, what's the mission... eh?"

"Hey Kaka..."

"Wow..."

"bump!!"

"Meow~~~~o(≧v≦)o~~"

Lying on Kakashi's body, Naruto's mouth twitched and looked at the cheerful cat running away not far above his head. He lowered his head in frustration, not wanting to brush his lips against Kakashi's cheek. Although it was through the mask, it was soft. The touch still made Naruto stunned.

Kakashi, who appeared with the instant body technique, was thrown down by Naruto as soon as he appeared. Unexpectedly, he suddenly

Surrounded by the familiar yet unfamiliar temperature for a long time, Kakashi was surprised that he had such nostalgia for the child's breath, even... greedy.As the sun poured down, the boy's golden hair shimmered slightly, and some strands of hair gently brushed against his cheeks, and his keen sense of smell allowed him to smell the scent there.

Familiar, warm smell.

Also stunned by this sudden change, Naruto looked at Kakashi's widened eyes in surprise, slightly embarrassed, and was about to stand up when his gaze suddenly fell on Kakashi's face.

Under the sun, the skin that was not covered by the mask was extremely fair, and the hair that was washed just yesterday was soft and fluffy, and it smelled of good shampoo.The outline of the face under the mask reminded Naruto of Kakashi's true face that he saw in that mission. Looking back now, I have to say that Kakashi really looks... well, using the beautiful and beautiful to describe a man Seems a bit inappropriate?

As a result, the two of them, who were each in their own thoughts, forgot for a moment what awkward posture they were maintaining, until Sakura's voice sounded: "Teacher, Naruto, are you all right... Ah, Naruto, the cat is gone again Already!"

Naruto woke up suddenly and looked above his head, and sure enough, the brown kitten that was nearby just now had disappeared.

"Hey, you're lying, right? It's been a waste of time... Forget it." Reluctantly getting up, Naruto stretched out his hand to pull Kakashi up: "I'm sorry, Kakashi-san. Are you not injured?"

"...No, I'm fine." Kakashi looked at Naruto's hand that he withdrew after pulling him up, and squeezed his own without a trace, as if wanting to retain the remaining temperature on it.

And Naruto, after withdrawing his hand, also lowered his eyes secretly, hiding the inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

====================================================================== ================

Half an hour later, in the office of Hokage III.

"My dear Xiaohu, you really make people worry to death..."

"Meow……"_

Looking at the cat that was ruthlessly "ravaged" in the arms of the lady, the four members of Kakashiban complained for the third time in their hearts, "It's no wonder it escapes with such a master", while gloating for it A second of condolences.

"Hmm... this is the 10th D-level task of the seventh class... so next..."

"!@#%%&*%￥#@!..."

"The next task for Class Seven is..."

"@#￥%&*&%￥#@!@#￥%..."

"-_-#Help Master Shigezuo collect sweet potatoes or..."

"@#￥%&*&%￥#@%￥#..."

"Sasuke, Sakura, do you have anything to say?" Third Generation finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

"That, Hokage-sama... Do we have to do D-level missions again? It's so boring!"

The assistant on one side put his trouser pocket in his pocket and nodded in agreement.

"Master Hokage, actually, I think we can take on a higher-level mission."

Echoing the words of the two, Naruto also spoke.

"Hmm... that's right. Then class [-] will do a C-level mission next... please come in!"

Hearing that the third generation agreed to his request, and then glanced at Datsuna who came in, Naruto frowned secretly.Feeling...uneasy.

Looking out of the sunny window, Naruto always felt restless.

It seems that a big change is about to start... I hope this mission can help me break through the bottleneck...

Looking at the frowning Naruto, Kakashi also felt uneasy.

Hope... nothing happens.

An hour later, outside Muye Village.

Accompanying Dazna to walk on the ground, Naruto glanced at Sasuke and Sakura when passing a puddle, just in time to see them exchange eyes, and then look at him.

I forgot to mention that Sakura has been training with Naruto and Sasuke since the survival drill passed.Sasuke also seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. He seemed to have endless energy in daily training and worked very hard.

No, the results of the training have already been shown.

It's sunny, has it rained in the past two days, where are the puddles?There is only one answer.

After bypassing the puddle and walking a few meters, the two ninjas released their transformation techniques and came from behind. They were subdued by Naruto and Sasuke, who had been prepared for a long time, and Sakura also protected Dazna in time.Then under Naruto's gesture, Sakura and Sasuke killed them.

Patting the pale-faced Erwa's shoulders, Naruto and Kakashi interrogated Dazna together.

The assassination ninja appeared in the escort mission, so it was not just a C-level mission.If you continue the task, with the strength of Kakashi and Naruto in the seventh class, it will definitely not be a problem, but the reward...

The wretched uncle directly moved out of his family in order to reduce the salary, but will Naruto let him succeed?

Immediately flashing the shining shuriken, Naruto fixed Dazna's head with one hand, and then used it to spin around at a distance of less than one centimeter from the old man's eyes, stirring up gusts of cold wind, and then Naruto Facing Datsuna, who was sweating like a small river, he smiled with a gloomy wind:

"Ah, if you don't have any money now, you can wait until you have money to pay later. Isn't grandpa a skilled bridge builder? Write an IOU and everything is negotiable. It's bad behavior to renege on debt!"

"Yes... yes yes, what you say is what you say! I write the IOU, I write!"

Naruto let go of Dazna with a smile on his face, and Naruto felt very comfortable.

"Hey, why does Naruto care about money so much?"

"...No, he just doesn't like other people's complacency. It's this guy's pleasure to make fun of people..."

Listening silently to Sakura and Sasuke's muttering, Kakashi sweated a little.

On the way to the destination of this mission - the country of waves, Dazna finally confessed that his country's important traffic status was targeted by the world's leading millionaire - Kaduo, and he colluded with ninjas to occupy the island country All the traffic arteries of the Kingdom of Waves control the country.

And the bridge that is being built now is the only threat to Kado, and it is also the only way out for the people of the Kingdom of Waves.Therefore, Dazna, who was an important bridge-building craftsman, was naturally hunted down by Kado's people.As a last resort, Dazna used all his savings to hire ninjas to protect himself. This was a B-level mission and reported it to a C-level in order to reduce the amount, but...

When Dazna said this, he glanced at Naruto resentfully.But Naruto turned back his eyes that were looking elsewhere indifferently, and said lightly: "In this case, we will help you drive that rich man named 'Kado' out of your country."

"Hmph, to put it bluntly, how could it be possible for you little brats to do it... That teacher doesn't seem very reliable..."

Forced by the terrifying memory left by Naruto before, Dazna thought that Naruto was the one who retorted softly, but he didn't know that his words were heard clearly by several people.Too lazy to argue with him, the few of them continued to do their own thing.

When we arrived at the land of waves, we continued to walk in the forest.Suddenly, Naruto caught a snow rabbit from the bushes with excellent eyesight.After exchanging glances with Kakashi, Naruto gestured to Sasuke and Sakura, and the three began to approach Datsuna.

Suddenly, a huge ninja sword came from behind everyone. While Kakashi yelled "get down", Naruto quickly pushed Dazna down, and then squinted at the man who appeared not far away. Masked ninja.

"Oh? It's actually Kirigakure's defected ninja, Momochi won't kill him again."

"I still wonder why the Oni Brothers will miss. It turns out that the opponent is Konoha's 'Sharingan Kakashi'. It's no wonder... But, I offended." Turning around: "I want that old man."

"You guys, protect Mr. Darzna with a swastika formation!" Responding to his words were Kakashi's instructions and his movement of raising his hand to put on the forehead protector to reveal Sharingan.

"I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet the legendary Sharingan so soon... But, for those little devils, how about this...Ninjutsu·Mist Hidden Technique!"

A thick white mist rose out of nowhere, and everyone's vision was quickly obscured, and they could only see their companions around them.

Zabuzhan disappeared in the mist, and at the same time his sinister voice sounded again: "Eight places...throat, spine, lungs, liver, carotid artery, subclavian vein, kidneys, heart...you want Where should I attack that one? Hahahaha..." A strong murderous aura swept over the sky, and Sakura's pupils shrank suddenly.

This murderous aura... stared at him like a poisonous snake, as if turning his eyes would reveal flaws and be killed... as if he was slaughtered by others... so scary... he might as well die instead of this...

This was what Sakura was thinking at the moment.Although Sasuke was not so serious, he was also somewhat suppressed by the murderous aura, and his movements were stiff.Although he was often baptized by Naruto's murderous aura, how could the usual training be as realistic as the enemy's murderous aura?

At this moment, Sasuke discovered his insignificance again.With all his strength, he clenched his fists.

As for Naruto, he didn't say a word from the beginning, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but he was obviously out of shape, and he didn't even notice the situation of Sasuke and Sakura.At this moment, he was frowning and secretly looking around, while at the same time mobilizing his whole body's senses to look for something.

At this moment, Kakashi arrived in front of everyone in time to block most of the murderous intent, and at the same time his lazy voice sounded with calming power: "Sakura, Sasuke, don't worry, I will protect you with my life of."

Everyone came back to their senses and looked at the figure in front of them.

Looking back at his student, Kakashi's eyes curved into crescents with a smile: "I will never... let him kill my companion!"

Both Sasuke and Sakura's eyes widened at the same time, and their impression of their bad teacher who was always late and read 18N novels suddenly changed.

As for Naruto... He looked at Kakashi's firm back, and the irritability in his heart suddenly disappeared a little.With a smile, he whispered: "You two protect the uncle." After setting up a dark blue barrier, Naruto stepped forward, drew his shuriken, and stood with Kakashi.

"If you don't cut it again, your opponent is us!"

☆, good dream

Hearing what Naruto said, Zabuzhan took a closer look at the boy for the first time, with an unfriendly and probing look in his eyes.

"Oh? You do have two brushes, kid. But... you two can't do anything to me!"

"Hmph, let's try it, cowboy."

Milk... a cow boy?

Coughing unnaturally, Kakashi looked at the gloomy face in the cow-pattern ninja uniform and said silently, "Indeed."

"Haha, let's see how long you can last! This uncle will let you die without a whole body! Pray!!"

Even more bloody murderous intent struck, but Naruto said to Kakashi calmly:

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we fought together, Captain. I wonder if our tacit understanding has decreased?"

Kakashi's smiling voice came from behind: "This...you'll know if you try it."

As soon as the words fell, Naruto fired a shuriken without looking at it, and there was a surprised voice in the air: "What?" Immediately, there was a "ding", which was the sound of weapons colliding.

With a flash of silver light, Kakashi followed the sound and found Zabuzhan, dozens of moves have been passed in the blink of an eye.And Naruto took advantage of this gap to form a seal: "Wind escape, the art of great breakthrough!"

The strong wind blew away the dense fog, and Naruto also joined the battle, fighting with Kakashi again.

The two cooperated closely, each move with a tacit understanding, Sasuke turned to the confused Sakura and told about Naruto's stay in Anbe.

Hearing "Anbu", Zabuzhan seemed to suddenly think of something, and said, "By the way, Anbu, blonde, you are the famous..."

"Shh!"

With a merciless sword, Naruto scratched the arm that would never be cut again. Naruto said coldly, "Distracted during the battle, do you want to die?"

"Cut!" Bounced back to open the distance, and then started to seal without cutting: "Water Escape·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

However, this dragon made of water was immediately suppressed by the other two identical dragons, but one of them was much bigger than the other two.The water dragon who didn't cut it soon was defeated, he was hit, and at the same time he was secretly surprised: Although he had heard it before, but that blond kid, the water escape technique is so powerful!

Not daring to delay, he stood up and continued to seal: "Water escape..."

"It's over." The boy's voice suddenly came to my ears, and Kakashi's hidden weapon struck at the same time, under the attack from both sides, those who couldn't react were kicked out fiercely.

He slammed into a tree heavily, then fell down weakly, and vomited a mouthful of blood.Lifting his head with effort, he saw the handsome blond boy walking towards him step by step like a god of death, the shuriken in his hand flashing coldly.

He tried his best to stand up and tried to stay away from this Buddha, but how could Naruto let him succeed?Seeing that the shuriken was about to fall.

All of a sudden, three silver needles were shot from the side, and shot into Zabu's throat, his eyes widened in astonishment, he fell down heavily, and stopped breathing.

At the same time, a boy wearing a mask who was about the same age as Naruto appeared beside Zabuzhan, half kneeling on the ground, and saluted Naruto and Kakashi.

Looking at the young man, Naruto's eyes quickly flashed a hint of surprise, and then, hope rose in his eyes like a cluster of flames, reflecting his amazingly bright eyes.

Kakashi only felt that his uneasiness was verified at this moment.

The young man lowered his head, and his voice sounded warm like a spring ding-dong: "Thank you very much, I have been looking for the right time to kill and then not to kill."

Looking at Naruto who was clearly out of state at the moment, Kakashi resisted the weakness of his body and asked: "That mask... are you the Kirigakure ninja chasing and killing the troops?"

The young man replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Yes. Momochi will not be cut again is the treason of our country. Thanks again to the two Konoha ninjas. Then, I will leave."

As he said that, the young man picked up the body that would not be beheaded again, and was about to leave, but Naruto suddenly shouted: "Wait, I have a very important question for you."

Looking at the boy who stopped and looked back at him, Naruto inexplicably felt that he didn't look at him as if he was looking at a stranger, but as if... he knew himself very well.

Ignoring this strange feeling, Naruto asked the question he most wanted to know at this moment:

"Let me ask you, Yoshi...do you know 'Hase Yushi'?"

Looking at the silent young man, Naruto was not as calm as usual, and described anxiously: "I can feel that there is a trace of him in you, you must have seen him somewhere, right? He should be about my age , has silver hair, the sun will shine! The eyes are blue, clearer than mine..."

Having said that, Naruto pointed to his eyes and suddenly fell silent.

By the way, why didn't I think of it before?His appearance has changed, so will Yoshi also...?

Kakashi stared at everything in front of him, his eyes began to turn black due to the consumption of chakra, but he clearly saw Naruto's emotions leaked because of that person, that person named "Yusi".

This was the first time he had seen Naruto's emotions so strongly in so many years.

The masked boy still looked at Naruto quietly, and replied: "I have indeed seen such a person." Seeing the instant brilliance in the eyes of the blond boy, he continued: "However, he has Been gone for a long time."

"Leave? Where to..."

Naruto hadn't finished his anxious inquiry, but he heard Sakura exclaim: "Mr. Kakashi!" Reflexively turning his head, he saw Kakashi beside him fell backward somehow.

Instinctively reaching out to catch him, Naruto hurriedly looked back: "Where are you going..."

The boy in the mask, together with the unbeheaded corpse, was no longer there.

Lowering his eyes and suppressing his surging mood, Naruto hugged Kakashi by the waist, and said to Sasuke and the others, "Keep going."

Along the way, Sasuke and the others looked at Naruto who didn't know what he was thinking, but didn't dare to ask if he wanted to, so they just kept silent, and they arrived at Dazna's house like this.

Kakashi had a long dream.

He dreamed of his father, dreamed of Obito, dreamed of Lin, and dreamed of Minato-sensei.They left their side one by one, running and shouting, begging them not to leave, but it was all in vain.

Hatake Kakashi's world gradually lost the beams of light shining on him.Kakashi wandered alone in an endless darkness, sad, sad, and confused...

so painful...

so lonely...

no one...

No matter what, who will accompany me...

It's been too long to pretend to be strong and smile, so tired...

Is there anyone who can give me a break, yes, let me rely on...

Suddenly, Kakashi heard a voice, that voice was sometimes gentle, sometimes strong, and sometimes with a hint of a smile...

"Captain, have you run out of chakra again?"

"I told you not to stand in front of everyone alone every time. Is your life very hard, Mr. Hatake Kakashi who is hospitalized every time?"

"Is your body okay now, Kakashi-san?"

"Who is the one who always teaches me to cherish my companions, but always keeps the cover team behind?"

"…………"

Kakashi thought he suddenly saw a light.He looked up and saw that the light was a pair of blue eyes.There are thousands of expressions in those eyes, but Kakashi is deeply trapped in them all...

Those are...whose eyes...

That is... my light, the only...

That is……

Following that beam of light, Kakashi walked forward slowly, and finally, the long darkness seemed to come to an end.

Opening his eyes again, Kakashi heard a voice: "Are you awake, Kakashi?"

Naruto's voice was the same as the voice that had always existed in the dream.

Blinking, Kakashi turned his head away: "Naruto..."

The blond boy was sitting on the side of the bed, the same blue eyes that appeared in the dream watched him tenderly, Kakashi suddenly felt that the vacant place in his heart was filled.

Trying to move his hand, Kakashi found that it was wrapped in the familiar warmth, looked at it with effort, and sure enough, Naruto's hand was about the same size as his own, giving him warmth.

Noticing Kakashi's gaze, Naruto said softly, "Did you have a nightmare before, Kakashi? You kept yelling 'Don't go.'"

Kakashi looked at those blue eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Ah...that's it." Seeing Naruto's calm look, recalling Naruto's excited emotions before, Kakashi suddenly said: "Naruto, The 'Yosei' you mentioned earlier, after all..."

Before the live sound fell, Naruto's pupils constricted instantly and the strength in his hand suddenly increased, which made Kakashi understand that what Naruto had been looking for before must be this person.

Suddenly feeling shivering in his heart, Kakashi stopped talking halfway.silence for a while,

Looking at Naruto who didn't know where his thoughts drifted, he continued: "Naruto, maybe you think I'm ridiculous, but now, you are my only light, so I will definitely protect..."

"...Naruto! Is Mr. Kakashi awake?" The girl's voice suddenly sounded, Sakura pushed open the door and walked in, seeing Kakashi who had opened her eyes, she ran to Kakashi in surprise Cassie's bedside greeting rose.

Sasuke, who came in after her, was still glistening with sweat, obviously just finished training.He greeted the two of them lightly, and stopped at the door without making too many movements.

Looking at Sakura and Sasuke rushing in, Naruto blinked and realized from the conversation just now: "Ah, Kakashi is fine now except for being a little weak, Sakura."

Looking at the girl who said "Great!", Kakashi turned his gaze back to the boy beside him, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Sakura, Sasuke."

As if realizing the quietness of the atmosphere before them, Sakura noticed the hands of the two, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and then said: "Ah, then we will continue to practice. Naruto, treading water has already begun Oh, then Kakashi-sensei, you have a good rest!" After speaking, he dragged Zuo to run like when he came.

Lowering his eyes, Naruto looked down at Kakashi who was staring at him. He was silent for a while for the tenderness in his eyes, and then said, "I never thought... I would become someone else's light."

"It's not someone else, it's Kakashi Hatake."

Having said that, Kakashi suddenly noticed that the boy in front of him avoided his gaze for the first time, and then he said: "...the boy's behavior before was too strange, and the hunting troops usually take the head back when they deal with the corpse. , so Sasuke and I reckoned that that person is an accomplice of Bujue, and he should not have died if he didn't go beheaded."

After a pause, he continued: "According to his injury, he should make a comeback in a week, and he will not let it go until he kills Dazna. Now I protect Dazna every day, and Sasuke and Sakura are still practicing. "

Looking at the boy who changed the subject, Kakashi felt a little lost.

You...won't tell me?

Haven't I earned your trust yet?

Feeling Kakashi's eyes leave his face, Naruto sighed inwardly.

I'm sorry, Kakashi.However, the current me... how can I be qualified to be a light that illuminates others.

Wei Wei tried his best to break away from the weak hand that was still holding him tightly, Naruto didn't look at Kakashi again, got up and walked to the door, Naruto pushed the door open, without turning around, said: "We are usually in the east In the woods... Kakashi."

After speaking, he walked out of the house and closed the door.

Kakashi inside the room, looking at the closed door, feeling the cold hands, a complex strange emotion flashed in his eyes that even he didn't notice.

☆, farewell

"Really, did he say that..." In the morning, Sasuke, who had returned from training, told Naruto that she met a suspicious person, and she said something meaningful to herself.

Naruto looked at the foggy sky in the land of waves, and the words echoed in his mind:

People can really become strong when they want to protect what is important.

I can't help but think of myself in the previous life, and when Kakashi stood in front of him, he said firmly, "I will never let him kill my companion."

Sighing, Naruto's mood was very complicated.

At this time, 6 days had passed since the first confrontation with Zabuzhan.

====================================================================== =================
