gold and silver rule

The secrets come to the woods on the eastern border"... He has seen Naruto Uzumaki many times through the eyes of crows, and even had contact with him three years ago. Naturally, it is not difficult to see the face before the disguise. However, a 16-year-old How could such a young man have such strength and intelligence?

Naruto didn't know the psychological activities under Uchiha Itachi's iceberg face, but he saw guard and killing intent in his eyes, but he smiled slightly and made a mouth shape.

Itachi froze.After a while, he slowly put down the weapon in his hand.

three.

Except for the third generation, don't think about it.This man... he knew the whole truth.

kill him?impossible.Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is crucial to Konoha, and the organization will doubt his motives, and...killing him is not easy.

"What do you want to know?" he asked.

The young man withdrew his smile: "You don't have to be nervous. I won't joke about my good brother. Use his biggest secret now and hide the truth for you—although I don't know why you concealed it—in exchange for Ranxiao's information, how?"

Without waiting for Itachi Uchiha to answer, he continued, "Of course, I will not let [Akatsuki] realize that I know the information. You should know that there is a 'bounty hunter' investigating you recently..."

"You want to use this as a cover?... That person is you?" Uchiha Itachi narrowed his eyes.

Naruto was noncommittal.Then he said: "I don't need you to provide everyone's personal information, you just need to tell me why you collect tailed beasts."

Itachi Uchiha was lost in thought.

Since Sasuke came to Orochimaru, he has rarely received information from Sasuke.Orochimaru is too good at hiding, and he is always on guard against him... And this young man is obviously more aware of Sasuke's current situation than himself, but if you ask him why he believes he knows... The third generation is one aspect, the most important thing is his sentence " I'm not going to joke about my good brother."The seriousness and stability in those eyes, as well as the consciousness hidden in the deeper part, proved to him that he was not lying.

Then... [Xiao]'s information was supposed to be regularly reported to the third generation, and he gained complete trust from the third...

Just, "Why do you want to know?"

Hearing this, Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly, and pulled out an extremely cold smile from the corner of his mouth.He said in a low voice: "You just need to know that I will never let that masked man succeed in his goal, that's enough."

In the crimson eyes, something unforgettable flashed past.Uchiha Itachi had seen that thing from Sasuke's eyes, and seen it from the eyes of countless people.

Hatred.

Naruto came back to his senses, looked at Itachi Uchiha, and said lightly but inadvertently with profound awareness: "I will help Sasuke complete his revenge, because I understand better than anyone that hate is What a feeling."

Itachi Uchiha looked into Naruto's eyes quietly, and Naruto looked back calmly.After a long while, the corners of Uchiha Itachi's mouth hidden under the collar of the capacious robe curled up imperceptibly.

He was the first to speak: "The real face of the masked man is Uchiha Madara, he is the real leader of [Akatsuki]. The collection of tailed beasts will start from one tail, and the tailed beast chakra in Jinchuriki's body will be drawn out in a certain way— —I don’t know exactly how, as for the ultimate goal—I can only say that I have seen him go to the meeting place of the Uchiha clan and see the stone tablet there.”

"...Stone tablet?" Naruto frowned.There are more and more doubts.

"The main hall of Nanga Shrine, under the seventh tatami mat counted from the innermost position on the right. It is said that it records the real secret of the Uchiha clan. It cannot be seen without Sharingan. And..."

"?"

"Even with my eyes that you saw the other day, I didn't see the whole thing."

Naruto froze for a moment, his pupils shrinking uncontrollably.

"...After the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, is there any possibility of advanced Sharingan?" He muttered to himself in a daze.

"You know Kaleidoscope Sharingan?" Uchiha Itachi asked in shock.Naruto came back to his senses, looked at him with a strange smile: "I was one of the witnesses to the incident that night 6 years ago... The way to get the same eyes as yours is to kill the dearest person. You originally , is to let Sasuke kill you so that he can get the kaleidoscope, right?"

Uchiha Itachi was silent.

"Sorry, I ruined your plan... Uchiha Sasuke's biggest secret, which even Orochimaru has not discovered, is that he already had a pair of... Kaleidoscope Sharingan three years ago!" He was a little proud Itachi looked at the shocked Itachi, as if he was quite satisfied with ruining other people's plans.

Suddenly, he froze, and then looked at Itachi suspiciously.

Since Itachi knew the way to open the kaleidoscope...why didn't he just pretend to be dead like himself?With Uchiha Itachi's wisdom, he didn't believe he couldn't do it.

Because of guilt?It seems to explain it.But there seems to be something wrong...

"...Forget it, let's talk about the content of that stone tablet—" He gave up and spoke again. Naruto didn't finish his sentence, but was suddenly interrupted by an urgent call from the girl on the boat: "Brother! Someone is coming!"

Both Naruto and Itachi were taken aback, the former frowned, his perception was fully open, but in the next second he frowned even tighter - he didn't feel any chakra approaching.However, what the girl said again made Itachi's face change.

The girl stood in the middle of the boat, and said again: "...I have never seen such a Chakra, he is underground, brother! He is approaching us quickly!"

"Absolutely! Did you find something wrong?" Itachi whispered.

Naruto's eyes widened in surprise, and then he walked up to the girl and said to Itachi, "I will keep my promise and keep the secret for you. I will find a way to contact you for information. Let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, he grasped the void, and the boat under his feet disappeared out of thin air. At the same time, he grabbed the girl's wrist, and the two disappeared in place together.

Regardless of the shock, Uchiha Itachi also raised his hands and formed a seal, turning into a cloud of white smoke.When the water waves caused by the disappearance of the boat returned to calm, a huge Nepenthes suddenly drilled out of the ground under the big tree, its leaves opened, and a strange human being half black and half white appeared.

"Ahh~~~, there is no one..."

"Maybe I have escaped, chase!" Two completely different voices sounded in the forest, and fell silent after a few seconds.The tracker would never have thought that two of the people he was looking for had already appeared in a hotel dozens of kilometers away, and one was just an avatar, and disappeared into white smoke in an instant.

At this moment, in the small town of Fire Country, which is about two days away from Muye Village, in a secluded corner of a hotel, two lights, one black and one red, flashed, and two people appeared out of nowhere.The black-haired young man looked around vigilantly, and unexpectedly a gentle voice sounded behind him, startling him: "It's okay, Mr. Ziraiya hasn't come back yet."

Naruto patted his chest and turned his head. The girl beside him had already cheered, "Baijiang!"He said with a dark face: "Bai, do you know that scaring people can scare people to death!"

A 17- or 8-year-old girl named "Shiro" with black hair and black eyes wearing a dark green kimono who looks as white as snow, at this moment patted the girl's head like a big sister, smiled and said to Naruto: " If you are as powerful as Naeko-chan, you won't be scared by me."

Speaking of "sensing ability", the girl suddenly became quiet, and looked at Naruto with some hesitation: "Brother, that Uchiha Itachi-san...is his eyes not very good? His body seems to be very weak..."

Naruto listened, his eyes flashed with thought.Then, the girl recalled with fear: "There is also that underground person... how should I put it, his soul feels very, very gloomy, and very old... like... seems to be more than a thousand years old, and ..." She hugged her arm, looking very uneasy, "... two souls gathered in one person..."

Naruto frowned now.He motioned to Bai, and the latter knowingly took the girl on his arm and walked into the kitchen on the other side. Not long after, the sound of the two chatting and laughing could be faintly heard.

At a hidden corner, Naruto stood against the wall with his arms around his chest, his hair and eyes gradually returned to their original color, but the darkness in his eyes never faded away.

It's getting more and more complicated... Uchiha Itachi doesn't seem to know the true face of the masked man, but—Uchiha Madara?What does Obito Uchiha have to do with him?Also... [Xiao]'s next move, what Sasuke will do next, the identity of that strange underground activist, whether Uchiha Itachi's declining body is related to those eyes, why is he so determined to die... …

Finally, that ancient stele...

Not far from the pensive young man, there is a small calendar hanging.The date that is two days away from today is circled with a red pen.

Next to it, two bright red characters are particularly eye-catching.

return to the village.

The author has something to say: There was a bit of a bug about the time before: Naruto left the village on September 60th, 9th year of Konoha (Kadon's birthday), and it should be 15 years when the two met more than two years later... The previous part has been revised , declare it here.

The three-year chapter is officially over~~~~ The next chapter is about to start Shippuden...

☆, reunion

In the 63rd year of the Konoha Calendar, at the end of May, Konoha Village.

The sun is still and the village is still prosperous.Villagers coming and going, busy businessmen, men going out to work, women chatting after finishing housework, and children chasing and playing, it is a happy scene.

On the main road facing Konoha Gate, on the roof of an ordinary residential building on the street, a man with silver-white hair was lying lazily on it.He was resting on his left arm, holding a copy of "Massacre in Heaven" in his right hand, his right eye not covered by the forehead was half drooping, and he was looking listlessly at the book.However, if you observe carefully, you will find that the look in those black and white pupils is a little hollow and unfocused, and the book in his hand hasn't been turned for a long time.

Suddenly, the man closed his eyes, closed the book with a "snap" and put it aside, then put his right hand under his head, and looked up at the blue cloudless sky above.

A pair of coquettish and smiling red eyes gradually appeared in front of his eyes, and then turned into a pair of blue eyes with the same expression.

Sighing, Kakashi lowered his eyes, feeling a little hazy.

Since the task of "encountering" Naruto was completed and returned to the village, he has recalled the whole incident countless times.He regretted the last question he asked.

Why did you ask for an export?Even if Naruto didn't recognize him at the time, he would definitely have doubts afterwards.After all, a stranger, still a man, asks that kind of weird question.

As if unwilling to think about it any more, Kakashi stretched out his hand and patted his head, then raised his hand, squinted his eyes and looked at the dazzling sun through his fingers, thinking a little confused what to do in the future.

Before he knew it, someone lived in his heart.This person has a mature and rational soul, which brings him sunshine, hope, and happiness, as well as worry, concern, confusion, and bewilderment.But no matter what, he let Hatake Kakashi, who had been numb due to pain for a long time, regained a smile from the heart instead of a habitual smile.

That person reassures him more than anyone else.

But what about that?

Kakashi covered his eyes with his hands, and a self-deprecating smile twitched from the corner of his mouth.

This feeling has no results.he knows.

The gender of the same male, the age gap, the identities of teachers and students, not to mention... It is impossible to get any response.Thinking of the way that person was looking for something through himself, Kakashi's bitterness deepened.

Thinking not to be left behind, he started his long-awaited practice. In the final analysis, he was still unwilling.Knowing that there are many difficulties, but I still want to give it a try, I want him to see himself more, let him rely on himself more, let him find himself when he looks back, let him... let him not only regard himself as a companion.

However, fantasies always have limits.Self-deception and self-deception were easily shattered by the mission a few days ago and by a few simple glances.

He won't.Even if he liked men before, he would never be able to fall in love with his teacher and best friend, living in the dark and praying for the warmth of the sun but closing himself up for fear of being hurt, especially, who is so similar to his previous lover... ...he Hatake Kakashi.

If you can't get any closer, keep your distance.Finally, Kakashi thought, feeling a dull pain in his heart.

He hinted to himself over and over again that Naruto trusts you and regards you as a partner who can be entrusted to his back, and he is the first to think of discussing with you if there is anything, that's enough.

He was afraid, he was afraid that if he ignored it, he would destroy himself and Naruto.The Naruto who is like sunshine, the Naruto who will become Hokage one day, the Naruto who keeps growing and getting better.

Thinking of this, the last bit of unwillingness in my heart turned into something bitter, something that I could only secretly hide and slowly lick the bitter juice.

The rippling heart lake gradually returned to calm, but the breathing was extremely heavy, and taking a breath would cause a burst of pain like needle pricks in the chest.

Kakashi closed his half-drowned eyes, and lay silently for a long time, as if turned into a stone statue, motionless.

The streets are still bustling and bustling, which is incompatible with the desolation and despair around him.What he didn't know was that a pair of blue eyes were watching him quietly on the roof not far away.

It was a young man in his 20s.The neat short hair is as bright as gold, the facial features are exquisite, and the face is sharp and angular.A pair of blue eyes are deep and energetic, like the vast sea and clear sky, full of tolerance and warmth.The top two buttons of the white lapel shirt were not buttoned, and it was opened a little wantonly, revealing the delicate collarbone. The black jacket was worn open, with a coquettish red pattern on the neckline, and black pants and black shoes underneath.

This is a handsome man.Gentleness and unruliness appeared on him at the same time, but they were perfectly integrated by his own temperament, without any contradiction.He is tall and tall, and his body wrapped in extremely elastic clothes is strong and powerful, exuding vigor and vitality.His skin is a healthy wheat color. From the small backpack at his feet, it can be seen that he has just returned from a long journey.

The breeze blew by, blowing the black forehead band that hung down to his waist, and also made his blond hair flutter with the wind along with the skirt of his clothes.The young man leaned against an attic, and turned his head to quietly look at the man lying on the roof.Suddenly, his blue eyes flashed, and in the next second, a voice sounded with laughter: "Why don't you go say hello? You miss him very much, Naruto!"

Naruto looked at the smiling golden toad at his feet, was silent for a while, and then asked, "I was wondering, is that person Kakashi-sensei?" Before Toad could answer, he talked to himself again , "Sure enough, it's impossible. Although his eyes are very similar, he is not a ninja after all... Besides, the teacher wouldn't say that kind of thing..."

Seeing the doubtful look of the young man, Toad turned his head and secretly smiled gloatingly.Deliberately not telling Naruto the full function of the necklace, and sure enough, there will be a good show.

Then, it turned around and said seriously: "That's right, your perception ability is still fake? Instead, you hurry up and say hello to Kakashi, he seems a little unhappy."

Naruto gave up his contemplation when he heard the words, turned his head to look at the silver-haired man again, pursed his lips, and the next second, he disappeared in place, leaving only a sentence floating in the air: "Bring me my luggage, Prince."

The prince glanced at the two people who were facing each other from a distance, smiled and picked up the backpack: "Hey, I'm such a hard worker..." However, when he turned around and hopped slowly towards Naruto's apartment, his heart ached. But he sighed slightly.

When will these two be more honest.

Kakashi, who had been lying on the roof for a long time, suddenly felt something. His closed right eye opened suddenly, and a sharp light suddenly appeared. The hanging white dagger was out of its sheath.However, he stopped his next move.

The whole process was so fast that afterimages even appeared.

Naruto deliberately came to Kakashi with a murderous look, and looked at Kakashi quietly.When his eyes met the expression in those black eyes that he had seen countless times, for some reason, this time, his breath stopped.

In fact, a few days ago, the moment he saw that person, the moment he saw those eyes, Naruto thought of him.

The same silver hair, the same mask, and most importantly, the tranquility in those eyes.It was then that Naruto discovered something.

For more than two years, whenever he practiced with all his strength and lay on the ground with no strength in his body, those different-colored pupils would suddenly appear in front of his eyes.Or he only showed that pure black eye, gently bent into a crescent shape, and said in a casual but imperceptible seriousness, "I am here, Naruto."

Then, he had the strength to continue to climb up.

What he likes best is a clear night with the moon in the sky.Mr. Kakashi's feeling is like the moon, which exists silently, neither close nor far away. Although he is always smiling, but... is he really happy?

The smile that bends the eyes to hide the true emotion seems to be a necessity, but it is habitually hung on the face, and it is used to face anyone.Naruto didn't know why he thought about it, nor when he thought about it.In short, before he knew it, he already had such an idea, and his heart ached slightly for it.

Are you afraid?he thought.

Is it because you are afraid of losing again, so you don't get close?

He thought of it suddenly, and it was also an urgent desire in his heart - he didn't want to see Mr. Kakashi laughing like this.

It doesn't matter if you are expressionless, helpless, cunning, angry, or even crying.In short, he didn't want to see Kakashi-sensei smiling like that, without warmth or sincerity.

Calm and calm, wise and resourceful, powerful and sharp, lazy and gentle, humorous, fragile and hurtful, pretending to be strong, lonely and lonely...

So much of him, all of him.But which one is the real him?

His Kakashi-sensei is really like the moon, unpredictable, yet so mysterious, with a cold gentleness that fascinates people.Just a few days ago, he suddenly realized that he missed him.

A strong desire, after that person asked the question that made him flustered, in his thoughts for the past few days, surfaced in his heart

-He wants to see, the real Kakashi-sensei.

At this moment, when he looked at the man in front of him who was stunned by shock, looked at the familiar eyebrows, familiar eyes, and familiar silver hair, he felt an urge to hug him and take a deep breath of the fragrance of his hair .

He wants to prop up a sky that will never collapse for him, so that his Kakashi teacher will not suffer any more.After such a thought appeared in his mind, Naruto's first reaction was shock, followed by relief.

From the moment he saw the person who looked like Kakashi, from the panic when he heard that person's question, from the moment he kept thinking about Kakashi-sensei these days, he realized it.

——Ms. Kakashi is special.

He felt a little overwhelmed by his own knowledge, but more pleased.At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had finally cleared away the fog that had troubled him for a long time, and saw a clear sky again.Maybe he should have realized it earlier, shouldn't he?

But... not yet.

He still has a lot of work to do, and his Kakashi-sensei - he thinks from the bottom of his heart - needs to use all his thoughts and take it seriously, without the slightest sloppy.Moreover, he clearly knew that this mood was not firm yet.He wants to protect the germinated seedling in his heart so that it can grow into a big tree in the sky, and no one can shake it.He wants to use it to shield Kakashi-sensei from the wind and rain, so that the teacher can feel at ease, can slowly walk out of the past, walk to his side, smile from the heart, and... have the happiness he gave.

He knew that day would come, and he would wait patiently.Because, he met the right person; because, Mr. Kakashi, it was worth everything he gave.

Naruto watched Kakashi slowly retract the sheath, the firmness and gentleness in the blue eyes were as blue and boundless as the sea, but the moment Kakashi looked forward, it transformed into a full of normal smile.

"I'm back, Kakashi-sensei."

☆、Shadow

The warm sunshine poured down, plating a layer of beautiful gold on the smiling young man.Those deep blue eyes were filled with the joy and smile of reunion, and there seemed to be something else, but it was only fleeting, and it was too late to see what it was.

This person, just standing here in such an ordinary way, is enough to attract all his attention.

Kakashi carefully looked at the person in front of him several times, and smiled: "You have grown up a lot, Naruto!" He paused, suppressing the urge to get closer to him and feel the familiar breath , squinting and making a classic smile, "Welcome back!"

When Naruto heard this, the smile in his eyes deepened.He also carefully looked at Kakashi's whole body up and down, his eyes swept over the black mask as always, wondering if there was any change in that gentle face, then he looked at the knife: "That's it?"

Kakashi tightened his left hand holding the sword, and finally suppressed the excitement in his heart.Seeing that he was interested, he simply pulled out the knife to let Naruto see more clearly, and at the same time said flatly: "I just picked up some things that I had lost. This is [Chengying]."

"Chengying..." Naruto repeated, looking up and down the blade.It is very similar to the [White Fang] that appeared in Kakashi's memory, about 40 centimeters long, judging from the blade glowing white, it should be a chakra knife.

The chakra knife is made of special metal that can absorb the properties of the user's chakra. If chakra is attached to the weapon in battle, its power will be greatly enhanced.

Kakashi-sensei hasn't been idle for the past three years... Also, "picked up some things that were lost"...

The broken [White Fang] appeared in front of his eyes, Naruto's eyes darkened for a while, and just about to say something, there was a sudden exclamation from below.The two looked down at the same time, Naruto raised his eyebrows and smiled when he saw the person coming: "Sakura?"

The girl with cherry-colored hair has basically faded away from her childhood youthfulness, and has begun to grow into a slim girl.She watched Naruto jumping down from the roof, and surprise appeared on her face. Suddenly, she stepped forward in surprise and compared her height: "You are lying... Naruto, are you so tall?"

"Really? Sakura is still the same as before!"

"...I'm a bit feminine anyway!"

"Hahaha……"

Kakashi who also jumped down from the roof with his sword back in its sheath, listened to the conversation of the two students, his eyes fell on Naruto who was about the same height as himself, and his eyes dimmed.Almost 16 meters before the age of 1, this...

In order to arrange the team formation in the future, the three of them walked to the Hokage Tower together.Knowing that Sakura has also completed her training, Naruto took the opportunity and couldn't wait to turn around and ask Kakashi who was behind them what he had done in the past three years.

After all, what you just asked seemed too abrupt... right?Because of some ulterior motives, Naruto thought with some restraint.

Coincidentally, Jiraiya, who didn't know what to do, also came over, and he couldn't help but pull Kakashi who was about to answer, and began to explain Naruto's situation in the past three years.Naruto looked at it for a while, saw that Jilai also lowered his voice on purpose, and then turned back, but he didn't want Sakura who was next to him to suddenly chuckle.Naruto looked over in confusion, Sakura looked at him, and smiled slyly: "I saw it, Naruto. Mr. Kakashi showed you his sword, right?"

Naruto was puzzled: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, the girl showed an expression of "as expected", lowered her voice, and deliberately leaned into Naruto's ear and said, "Ms. Kakashi has been elusive for three years, and seems to be busy with various training and tasks. Then The sword is very important, and I never show it to others outside!" After she finished speaking, she deliberately turned her head to look at Kakashi, just in time to see that single eye move away without a trace.The smile on her lips deepened.

Raising an eyebrow, Naruto felt a little strange.Sakura means... I'm special?

He looked at the girl who didn't speak anymore, as if nothing had happened, and fell silent.

At this time, Kakashi was listening to Jiraiya talking. "No accident, you should act together as a teacher and a student in the future. Ha, you will be surprised after seeing that kid's performance!" Zilai also said quite proudly.

Kakashi looked at the back in front of him for a long time, and smiled: "Ah, I'm looking forward to it."

Jiraiya nodded with a smile, and then his face became solemn: "Except for the ninjutsu with different attributes, I have taught him almost all skills. Naruto is like a sponge, he can accept everything, but because of In this way, I couldn't bear to look at him later, this kid has done a lot of dangerous things behind my back..."

"That bounty hunter who is chasing [Akatsuki] everywhere is probably him." Kakashi suddenly said, with determination in his voice.

Jilai was also a little surprised, and then nodded: "How do you know? But forget it. With the Flying Thunder God Technique, I don't worry about his safety. I followed him a few times and let him go. The most important thing is his purpose. ..."

Kakashi paused.All along, he was most puzzled by this.

Jirai also looked at Naruto, and his voice became lower and lower: "Although there is no definite basis...but I have seen his eyes when he was alone a few times-you know, that kid's perception ability is usually It's limited—you've definitely never seen him like that. Naruto must be hiding something, he doesn't know what he's planning by himself, but to [Akatsuki]..."

Kakashi urged him to speak quickly with his eyes, his eyes were serious.

Ji Lai also sighed: "That look, you can't go wrong. It's 'hate'."

If Naruto had heard these words, he would have been shocked by Jiraiya's sensitivity.This speculation is already close to the truth.

hatred?Kakashi was taken aback.

He always knew Naruto was hiding a lot.But the strong emotion of 'hate'... Even if [Akatsuki] is extremely dangerous, with Naruto's character, it should be like dancing on the tip of a knife, smiling confidently and dealing with the enemy, like a cat chasing a mouse game, Get things done in a nasty and leisurely way.

No, wait... He squinted his eyes, and in his memory, some places that he had already noticed were wrong turned up.

【What the teacher taught me, the most important thing for me, is this. 】

[Even if you are hurt, the first thing you think of is never hatred, but protection. 】

Suddenly, he remembered Naruto's simple statement, "In short, I have spent my whole life in revenge."

——That is to say, Naruto is still preparing for revenge?

In front of him suddenly appeared three years ago at the cemetery, Naruto suddenly became very angry and attacked himself... In addition to the thick and suffocating anger and sadness in his eyes, there is another kind of self that he has never figured out. emotion.

That is, hate...?

He froze in place, unable to react for a long time.Immediately, a series of questions followed.

[Xiao] What did you do to him? ...With Naruto's character, except for extremely important people, nothing can make him so abnormal.Besides, Kakashi had only seen that level of grief in Naruto once.

He silently lowered his eyes, thinking of that gentle young man in a state of soul.

To be able to occupy the same weight as him in Naruto's heart, after thinking about it, there is only one answer.

Looking up at Yan Shan, his eyes paused for a while on the portrait of the fourth generation.In his heart, he already had an answer.The hand in the trouser pocket slowly clenched into a fist, but slowly stretched out.

wrong.If [Akatsuki] was really behind the Nine-Tails incident, Naruto shouldn't have concealed him to such an extent.Ten S-level rebels, even if all of them have the level of Itachi Uchiha and Orochimaru, is it worth Naruto's fear, even at the expense of everything? !

The prince told him that Naruto had a goal that he wanted to achieve even at the expense of destroying himself, and Kakashi pursed his lips tightly.

what else.There is something more terrifying, a more difficult enemy, hidden in the depths.No one noticed except Naruto.And he, in order to prevent anyone around him from being in danger, planned to solve it alone.

In just a few breaths, Kakashi had deduced the ins and outs of almost the whole thing.

"... Teacher? Teacher Kakashi?" When the call came, Kakashi raised his head in surprise, and looked into a pair of blue eyes full of concern and doubt.Dazed for a moment, he looked away unnaturally, he scratched his head and haha, trying to perfunctory: "Ah...it's easy to get distracted when you're old, haha...are we here yet?"

In front of you, the Naruto Building has arrived.

Naruto frowned, but said nothing.He always felt that Mr. Kakashi was a little different all of a sudden.In the end, he just turned around and entered Hokage's office, and Sakura, who was following him, heard him mutter "How old are you?"A trace of ridicule flashed in the green eyes, and when he saw his master, he quickly stood up properly.

Kakashi looked at Naruto's back, determination flashed across his eyes.After three years of hard work, isn't it just to not be left behind by him, can you help him share it?Since he didn't want him to know, he pretended not to know.but……

The black eyes, which had always been as calm as a pool, shot out a dazzling light, like bright stars.

This time, I want to walk side by side with you.

【Kakashi, you must understand what Naruto needs most. 】

【—That is, someone walked side by side with him who had been struggling alone. 】

Kakashi's mental activities, no second person knows.Even Jiraiya has already seen that Naruto's attitude towards [Akatsuki] is unusual, but since he lacked many chances and coincidences, he naturally didn't think too much about it. It was just that Naruto was afraid of the organization that would kill him, so he wanted to send it to him. It uprooted.This is natural, Jiraiya only treats Naruto as a child, often subconsciously ignoring his scheming and strength; but Kakashi, at the beginning, saw Naruto's soul.

That mature and stable man has a tough and reliable soul.

Seeing the three of them entered Hokage's office, Jilai prepared to collect information.After all, it's not okay to leave everything to a brat!However, just as he was about to leave, a ninja rushed in almost in a panic, and hurried in without seeing Jiraiya standing by the door.

Ji Laiya's heart trembled, and he followed in, only to hear such a sentence——

"It's not good, Hokage-sama! I just learned through contact that the Kazekage of Hidden Sand Village...was kidnapped by a member of an organization called [Akatsuki]!"

For a moment, everyone in the door was shocked.Kakashi looked at Naruto subconsciously, but found that his pupils shrank suddenly, and complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

Tsunade pondered for a moment, then said: "Kakashiban, now you have the first task after the reorganization." Naruto and the three of them changed their eyes and waited for her order.

"Rush to Yinsha Village immediately, and report immediately after understanding the situation, and then follow Yinsha's command as support."

The three of them changed their demeanor, nodded and left the office.

"Wait, Naruto." Jirai by the door also suddenly said, he bent down and told Naruto: "I understand that you know the members of [Xiao], it is very appropriate to send you, and You will definitely persist. So I will not stop you, but you should understand that you will lose your composure as soon as you encounter something about [Xiao], and, with your strength..." He suddenly darkened, "For all of you member, you have no chance of winning. See what I mean?"

Naruto's blue eyes were extremely dark.He was silent for a second, then replied, "I understand."

Jiraiya nodded, and stretched out his hands to grab Naruto's shoulders, looking into his eyes almost aggressively
