"Rindo told me, Kakashi has been taking care of you, right?"

Mizuto looked at the braided masked man over there with mixed feelings, touched Naruto's head, and lowered his head to hug the child.

Mizuto was separated from his child less than half a day after he really became a father, and in the face of the child who had grown up, Mizuto hugged him very tightly as if he couldn't control his emotions - but it was also a very careful action on the premise of not strangling Naruto, for fear of breaking him.

He was still a child, not yet three years old.

——“…… can't be by your side to watch you grow up, we are really incompetent as parents...... I'm sorry, Naruto......"

Naruto was also a little sad, but it was only affected by the atmosphere.

For some reason, he just couldn't empathize with him.

…… Maybe it's because they're not their real children.

Even if you recognize them as 'your own' parents.

He can understand and understand Watergate's mood, but he just can't substitute his obvious self into a real parent-child relationship.

It's not like that's okay when you're joking, even if you call your peers and people younger than you daddy, but in this case......

Naruto couldn't even call out his father to Mizumon's face a second time.

He knew it in his heart.

…… I am not their 'child'.

But he can only survive in this world in this capacity.

"What's that...... It's okay, there's Kakashi taking care of me, so ...... So even when you're not there, I don't feel that much alone. ”

Naruto, who took the initiative to come over, regretted that he had come over, but basically there was no chance to meet again in the future, so he forcibly let himself settle down and did not try to run out.

Otherwise, it may cause a lot of psychological blows to Watergate, a father who is still a novice even after more than two years, probably.

…… Naruto smelled the breath on Mizumon's body that was different from that of a living person, and he couldn't tell, he couldn't tell it, but if he wanted to compare, maybe it was the difference between this shore and the other shore, right?

It's a quiet breath that makes the soul feel peaceful... Or maybe it's a feeling?

Anyway, even if there was such a big fox not far away, he didn't smell any obvious dog smell, and if there was a dog smell, Kakashi had quite a lot of it.

And the smell of the Nine Lamas is not much different from that of Watergate.

[…… Yes. ]

…… Could it be the breath of chakra?

The water gate is now the consciousness of Chakra's condensation, and the Tailed Beast itself is also an existence formed by Chakra's aggregation, if there is anything in common between them, it may be almost the reason for Chakra's form?

However, it may also be because there is another half of the nine-tails on the water gate.

Well...... How to say it.

The impact of pets on people is really not small, if you have pets at home, then the person who keeps them will soon be assimilated into an existence with the same breath as them.

"Really......"

Mizuto hugged Naruto for a while and gently rubbed his hair before raising his head a little sadly.

Still smiling, though.

- "Kakashi, you've worked so hard all these years, maybe I'm not suitable to be a teacher, and I've made you a person......"

The death of Sakumo's predecessor was already a big blow to Kakashi, causing the child to be that 'indifferent' for many years, and then it was Obito and Rin, and then he - even the pain when he was still angry and pierced through his chest and abdomen by a huge sharp claw before he died, maybe it couldn't compare to the pain in Kakashi's heart for so many years.

He believed that the boy who woke up and cried in front of him was still sad that he had lost another companion...... Although Lynn seems to be fine now.

- "I'm really, even if I die, I'm going to cause trouble for my disciples...... Naruto ...... Please. ”

Mizuto stepped back with Naruto in his arms, taking Rin's figure into his field of vision and bowing to them.

Naruto hurriedly grabbed Mizumon's shadow robe, and followed by an ultra-short 'roller coaster'.

Although there was a dangerous 'stranger' in the middle, if he wanted to do it, he would probably do it a long time ago, and he didn't have to wait until now - and he didn't think he would have any kind of hatred with the Uchiha that he wouldn't let go of even if he died.

Even if the one who can control the Nine-Tails is not Madara Uchiha, there is no one else but the Uchiha..................

…… Uchiha?

Wait a minute, Uchiha ......?

Mizumon was stunned for a moment when he thought of this, and then looked at the mask that the person was wearing.

One-eyed mask.

Speaking of which, he was a little curious about why Madara wore a mask that only showed one eye, but then he thought that the person often covered one eye in the records, and Mizumon took it as Madara's habit.

But now that I calm down and think about it, it seems to ...... There is also only one person in the scope of one's own cognition, who fits that characteristic.

Watergate's eyes widened, as if to see something from the mask of the one-eyed hole.

The Uchiha, who only showed one eye, suddenly took off his hood before the battle to reveal his short hair......

…… Obviously, he asked the other party to calm down at that time, but it turned out that the most uncalm person was himself......?

Naruto felt the arm holding him tighten tighter and tighter, and when he looked up, Mizuto's face showed a rare expression of disbelief.

“……”

"Probably ...... I found out. 》

The hand under the earthen sleeve tube was made into a fist.

- "The unfit person...... It's not you. ”

He wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't use his own voice, so he used the same voice as he had disguised.

But even if it was something that didn't belong to him, the voice he came out of it suddenly became extremely hoarse.

Boom! …… Boom!

He could feel his heart beating very hard, and the interval became long.

- "Yes...... I ......"

Not only did there be a problem with the heart, but even the fingers trembled as if they had lost their strength.

This is worse than trying to confess several times but failing.

…… Now I have to say those words in this only one chance.

Anyway.

- "I ......"

Even the most strenuous lips became trembling.

- "It's me...... Unworthy...... Not worthy of being your student......"

Even if Obito couldn't hold it, he still clenched his trembling fist, and after saying this, he didn't feel relieved, and the only one of the writing wheels could no longer look at that face, and he bit his lip and lowered his head to the lowest.

- "I'm sorry...... Really sorry ......"

Crying doesn't solve the problem, it doesn't erase the past, so he held back.

- "I know what I did is unforgivable, but I still want to apologize to you, I ...... Disappointed with your expectations......"

At the same time as the crying sounded, the elbow and knee of the ten million pounds of lead fell to the ground together.

"I'm sorry, Watergate...... Teacher ......"

He didn't expect to be forgiven by the person in front of him, but it was something he had to do.
