Summer evening sky

Chapter 24 Crisis

Konoha's memorial monument, a cold existence.Countless names lie on it forever, for people to caress and mourn.Since the beginning of the war, more and more names have been added to the memorial tablet. Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin are just the two most insignificant names among them. Frozen on it in the first second.

"Naruto, how long have you been standing here?" Naruto, who had been silent for a long time in front of the memorial monument, raised his head when he heard the voice, and glanced at the visitor, but did not speak.Minato walked to the memorial monument, put down the specially chosen flowers in his hand, and stood side by side with Naruto.

"Mr. Kakashi, he always likes to be in a daze in front of the memorial monument." After a long silence, Naruto suddenly spoke, and Minato turned to look at him, "Mr. Kakashi stands there for hours, so every time he performs a task, he Always late, and then find all kinds of excuses, but never honestly admit that I went to see Obito and Lin."

"is it?"

"After we became Ninja, we accepted Kakashi-sensei's bell test. Sasuke, Sakura, and I tried everything we could to get the bell from Kakashi-sensei. We thought we were done for, but Kaka Mr. Nishi let us pass, because Sasuke and Sakura didn't listen to Mr. Kakashi's words, and gave the meal to me who violated the rules. Mr. Kakashi said that in the ninja world, people who violate the rules of ninjas are called It’s trash. However, people who don’t know how to value their companions are even worse than trash! I found out later that Obito said this to Mr. Kakashi.”

Minato's palms trembled, but he remained silent as Naruto continued.

"Our first C-level mission turned into a B-level mission. We met Momochi, a defected ninja from Wuyin Village. We were all scared when we encountered such a powerful enemy for the first time, but Mr. Kakashi was right. We said, don't worry, I will never let my companions be killed, even if they die, I will protect you!"

"Later, Sasuke defected and left the village. I went out to practice with the lecherous sage. Sakura became the apprentice of Granny Tsunade. The only three disciples that Mr. Kakashi had in his life were divided up by the legendary Sannin , but Kakashi-sensei didn’t complain at all, just smiled and waited for us to become stronger before returning to him.”

"At the beginning, I always thought that Kakashi-sensei was super eccentric, and he didn't teach me his ninjutsu to Sasuke. But later, Kakashi-sensei told me that he owed Uchiha a life, and only when Sasuke Come back on your body."

"Ms. Kakashi said that I was 'Accidental No.1 ninja ninja', but he always accompanied me to mess with me recklessly, and then scolded me in front of Tsunade's mother-in-law. He still ran around for my unreasonable request once. He said that he had no reason not to trust Minato-sensei’s son, let alone his own students.”

"Ms. Kakashi..."

"That's enough, Naruto, stop talking!" Minato looked at the tears on Naruto's face, closed his eyes and stopped him.Naruto wiped the tears from his face, sniffed his nose, still looking at the monument of the same color as the sky.

"Dad, do you really hate Kakashi-sensei?"

Minato lowered his eyebrows and looked at the brand-new name engraved on the comfort monument, and gently stroked his hand: "It's not that I hate it, but I don't dare to face it. Kakashi is my most beloved student. I think I know him very well, even if He came from the future and was older than me. I still think that is the Kakashi in my memory. What you told me just now is a completely strange Kakashi to me, but this strange Kakashi has been stuck in the memories of the past, refusing to step forward. He said that he left everything in the past to come here, but he has never been willing to face Obito and Rin seriously, even his Myself. Rationally choose to be a bystander, force myself to forget those unforgettable things, pretend to be indifferent and go my own way, and let my heart suffer in the memory, and all this is just to prevent history from deviating from its track. Kaka Xita, you pushed yourself too hard."

Naruto's heart ached, and he forced a smile: "I thought Dad was blaming Kakashi-sensei for not telling Lin about it in advance, so that's the case, that's great!"

Minato tilted his head to look at Naruto who was still bowing his head, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Naruto, it's difficult for you to be caught between me and Kakashi, isn't it? I'll talk to Kakashi about it. Talk about it, don't worry!"

Naruto nodded slightly, but his expression was still not relaxed.Minato frowned and thought for a while, and then said in a difficult way: "Ah, what should I do? Naruto really cares about Kakashi so much. My son will soon change his surname to Hatake, so sad!"

Naruto's eyes froze: "Who said I'm going to change my surname to Hatake!? It's Kakashi-sensei who wants to change it. I, Uzumaki Naruto, won't change until I die!"

"Eh? Can you convince Kakashi? That guy is very cunning!"

"Hmph! Cunning? No matter how cunning, can you compare with a fox? I, Uzumaki Naruto, is recognized as a Konoha golden fox! Dad, just wait and see how I can take down Mr. Kakashi!"

"Golden Fox? Why?"

"Ah...it's nothing! By the way, I'm hungry, daddy invites me to eat Ichiraku ramen! Let's go!"

"Hey! Wait! Why do you get so excited when you mention ramen, where did you get such a deep ramen complex? Ah, I see, it's Kakashi, that bastard Kakashi !"

"Father, you are so talkative! It will be closed after one night, hurry up!"

"Slow down! Hey!"

The setting sun is dotted with the condolence monument, and under the golden light, the densely packed names are shining, imprinted in the bottom of people's hearts, and can never be erased.

Smart as Minato, how could he not know that the reason why Naruto came here was not only to visit Obito and Rin, but more importantly, to untie the knot between himself and Kakashi!What a silly boy, what will he do after protecting Kakashi like this?It will definitely be eaten to death.Minato can only lament the future fate of his precious son.After eating Ikraku ramen with Naruto, Minato returned to Hokage on the pretext of unfinished business.

"Yo! Minato, I heard you have something to ask me?" The man who broke in without even knocking on the door greeted Minato with a cynical look, "No, no, it should be the Fourth Hokage now. Ah, what a joy, you are indeed my disciple! Hahaha!"

Minato looked at the visitor speechlessly: "Mr. Jiraiya, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Yeah, I'm sorry, I went to collect materials for the new novel. By the way, I saw a very punctual lady just now, do you want to introduce Minato to you? Or to that kid Naruto?" Jilai also leaned towards Minato. Fu Er said.Minato was full of black lines: "Mr. Jiraiya, it's okay for you to be old and disrespectful, please let my son go!

"Why are you so serious!? Oh, I get it. I'm afraid that Kushina will beat you up, right? Ahahaha, Minato, you are a strict wife, it's too embarrassing to be a teacher!" Zilai also turned his head away. Looking very disdainful, Minato gritted his teeth.

"spiral......"

"Ah, wait, you're kidding! Really!"

The master and apprentice quarreled for a while before giving up, and Zirai also put away his smile and looked at Minato: "I have almost checked the things you asked me to check last time, and the things seem to be worse than we imagined."

Minato's face darkened: "What do you mean!?"

"During the process of investigation, I found that something was wrong. I couldn't find out the details of the young man named Ryo Nishio next to Danzo. The only thing I knew from the mouth of a core person in Gen was that Ryo Nishio could sense As far as the ability of the Chakra of the Tailed Beast, the special Chakra on Naruto he covets is most likely related to the Tailed Beast."

"Mr. Jiraiya means that Naruto is Jinchuriki!?" Minato stood up in shock, with his hands resting on the table, his face clouded.

Jiraiya nodded solemnly: "I'm afraid so, it seems that Naruto and Kakashi are hiding many important things from us!"

"No wonder, Kushina suddenly felt the fluctuations of the Nine-Tails Chakra that day." With his head deeply lowered, Minato clenched his fists tightly, his nails almost digging into his flesh.

"It's fine if it's just like this, but it's far more than that simple." Jiraiya's words made Minato raise his head again. "They seem to be planning something. This plan is very likely to put Naruto in danger. Minato, it seems that we need to talk to Kakashi."

"I'll go find him!" A stern voice suddenly came from the door, and the masked boy stood at the door at some point.

"Kakashi!" Minato was startled. He just listened to Jiraiya-sensei's words and didn't notice the arrival of little Kakashi. The boy comes in.

"Is there anything else you want to order?" The voice without any emotion sounded again, and Minato frowned.

"Kakashi is in Hatake's old house, you don't need to go, Mr. Jiraiya and I will go find him in person later."

"Isn't it better to talk in Hokage's office? Why did you go to Hatake's house?" The boy under the mask frowned slightly, with a hint of reluctance in his voice.

"I don't want more people to know about this. Hatake's house is more hidden. Kakashi, you don't have to go if you don't want to."

Little Kakashi turned around: "I will go together, I also want to know how Naruto became Jinchuriki, after all, he is my student." Looking at the boy's slightly thin shoulders, Minato was startled Startled, he could only nod helplessly.

"What about Naruto? Need to tell him now? About the danger of his situation." Jiraiya curled his lip at Kakashi the younger, then looked at Minato.

"Not for the time being. With Kushina accompanying him, it should be fine. In Konoha Village, there are not many ninjas who can rival Kushina." After pondering for a moment, Minato shook his head.If Kushina knew that Naruto became Jinchuriki, he would be very sad, alas!
