Kakashi stopped Naruto from continuing, crouching aside and clutching his head in doubt.

And Naruto's attention was on the lunch box in the distance.

I want to eat.

-

"Ahem."

Kakashi calmed down for two minutes before coughing and standing up calmly, looking at Naruto seriously, "I know that you know my situation very well before, and now I still have one more question, which is...... How much do you know about my teammates? ”

Naruto saw Kakashi, with a solemn expression on his face that he hadn't seen in two years.

“…… I know a lot of things, but I'm not sure if I can tell you now. ”

Who knows when this Kakashi died in his last life.

Was it before or after knowing about Mask Spot's Obito?

Maybe it was when Payne came to the door?

Well, quite possibly.

At the age of sixteen, he was already an adult, and at that time, Naruto was also exactly sixteen years old and had cultivated to the immortal mode.

There are also many ninja schools where people become teachers in their teens.

"Let's put it this way, I saw the Ten Tails, and the one who was reincarnated from the filthy soil."

{If he really knew, then he would understand what I was talking about......}

Kakashi carefully observed Naruto's expression.

But Naruto had no expression now, and his face was paralyzed.

"Oh, that's right." Naruto nodded, "Alright, no need to tempt, I know he's still here, you know it." ”

The man named Uchiha Obito did not die.

Although he is not exactly human now.

"Then what is your impression of Mr. Watergate? …… And the ghost man in the fog. ”

Kakashi was silent for a few seconds before abruptly shifting away from the subject.

This year happens to be the year when the name of the ghost man was once resounding in the fog.

But due to some accidents, Obito did not manipulate their Mizukage.

Therefore, if you don't behead, you may not be able to get a decapitation broadsword.

“…… I don't have an impression, I haven't seen them, I just know. ”

Naruto was struggling with whether it would be better to call his father or his brother, but his father's words really couldn't be shouted except for his father, and he called him brother...... As the man's child, he called himself that way, which was really very inconsistent.

Then don't call it.

- "I remember that the bald-eyed old brother had a big brother next to him who could use ice escape, and that big brother was still good-looking, but...... In the end, they were all gone, and the beheading knife that accompanied the burial was also taken away by others, which is a pity. ”

…… At that time, would I go to save them?

Probably not.

So Naruto felt that they would express their true mood one day in the spring, accompanied by scattered falling snowflakes, like the original work.

That picture really has an artistic feel.

“…………”

Kakashi was silent for a lot longer than before.

From these two questions, he recognized Naruto's condition.

——“…… Let's eat this first, it won't taste good when it gets cold for a while. ”

Kakashi lifted the quilt and fished Naruto out and moved it to the living room with the small table with the pot wrapped meat.

This is clearly shifting the subject.

[But what does that have to do with me.] ]

After knowing that Kakashi was not a strange existence like the 'Spirit Behind the Scenes', Naruto, who was relieved, ran to the kitchen to get chopsticks after being put down, ran back and opened the lid of the box, picked up a piece of pot meat that was still dripping juice and began to eat.

After a while, the pot wrapped meat is sweet and sour, and the taste is still very crispy.

It's just that Naruto, who is more than two years old, still can't bite and move.

He could only start nibbling down the edge one by one.

-

By the time Naruto had finished nibbling on the two pieces of pot-wrapped meat, the rest had lost their heat and had turned from crispy to hard.

Reluctantly, he grabbed a large piece and continued to nibble, while pushing the rest to Kakashi, who was sitting opposite and looking at the ceiling with two pieces of meat.

"I can't eat anymore, you can eat."

Naruto stretched out his leg and kicked Kakashi's knee a few times, telling him to stop looking at the ceiling where there was nothing.

"Hmm."

Kakashi rubbed the back of his neck and nodded at him, and went to the kitchen to get another pair of chopsticks and sit and eat.

Bite after bite, Kakashi kept his head down and kept eating the pot of meat, but his mind was clearly not on the dish in front of him.

Absent-mindedly, he ate faster than Naruto could nibble on that piece of pot-wrapped meat.

The last time he put his chopsticks in his lunch box was empty, Kakashi realized that he had eaten them all.

When I looked up, Naruto on the other side was still nibbling on the pot meat.

"Next time we go to the store to eat freshly out of the pot, don't be so reluctant, just give me this piece, how about it?"

Kakashi was tired of looking at him.

But I didn't dare to stretch out my chopsticks to grab them first, and then ask.

"Hmm...... Well, I'll want to eat it tomorrow. ”

Naruto grinded his teeth sideways a few times, reluctantly pinching the half-eaten pot meat in front of Kakashi.

Kakashi poked his head over very naturally, opened his mouth and ate it.

"Yes, I'll take you there tomorrow morning...... I was going to wait until you get older, but since you know so much, it's nothing to tell you, and I have a very important thing to ask you for help with, which is about ...... I used to be a teammate. ”

Kakashi took a children's handkerchief from his pocket, took the chopsticks from Naruto, wiped his hands, smiled, and put everything on the table away.

[What does he want me to do?] ]

Naruto fell into deep thought.

How can I help with such a small child?

Even if you want to do something, I'm afraid that you will be controlled by Obito as soon as you take a picture.

-

After washing his chopsticks, Kakashi fastened the disposable lunch box that he had brushed up on the shelf next to him, intending to use it again if he had the opportunity.

It's also a good choice to put on a dishwashing brush or something, and it's a waste to throw it away.

He found two light-colored porcelain cups with cat motifs, washed them, poured two cups of warm water, and carried them back to the living room.

"That's right, before—" "I don't want to help. ”

Naruto directly interrupted Kakashi's words.

“……”

Kakashi's well-organized language in the kitchen was instantly distracted by the unorthodox status quo, and he didn't know how to speak.

Naruto picked up the glass and gulped several large sips of water, then wiped his mouth calmly.

“…… Also, it's too dangerous for you right now. ”

Kakashi looked at the water in the cup in front of him.

I can vaguely see my depressed face from it.

"But...... I still hope you'll hear before you decide, in-"

"I wonder why the people in the village don't know that I'm a 'monster', did you do something?"

Naruto interrupted Kakashi again, "You tell me what I want to know first, and then I'll think about whether or not to listen to you later." ”

He doesn't think Kakashi is someone to be trusted.

Although Kakashi has always taken care of himself like this.

But Naruto didn't ask him like that.

You have the right to refuse to do him any favor.

If Kakashi wasn't happy, it only meant that he was taking care of himself with purpose.

It's still the same sentence - I didn't ask him to take care of himself.

Don't think that just giving something to someone else is a favor that needs to be repaid.

Naruto was holding a glass of water with half of the water still left, and he had a rather 'if you don't say it, I'll splash it'.

“…… Good. ”

When Kakashi heard this, his expression relaxed.

Naruto thought that this person might be a little awkward.

——————————————

October 10, the forty-seventh year of Konoha, was the day Naruto was born.

At the beginning of the forty-eighth year of Konoha, Naruto was not yet a year old and only a few months old.

At this time, Kakashi was only fourteen years old, but half a year later, in September, he would be fifteen.

"No way!"

Sarutobi Hizashi, who was reinstated after the death of the Fourth Hokage in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, angrily rejected Kakashi Hagi, who was half-kneeling at his desk, with a lot of bandages on his body, and had just regained his mobility.

- "After the death of the first person Zhuli, Konoha has been hiding the situation of the second person Zhuli until last year, so that everyone in the village thinks that the Nine-Tails is no longer there and has settled down. But last year's incident made everyone clearly feel the disaster and pain it brought, it was something that even the four generations couldn't control, how could he be handed over to you, who is still covered in injuries? It's not negotiable, and if there's anything wrong with him, you can't suppress it alone. ”

Hinata flicked his sleeves and walked to the window, his hands behind his back to look at Kakashi over there.

“…… Hokage-sama, apart from the identity of the human pillar force, even Naruto was born that day, but everyone doesn't know his identity, why does everyone think that he is the demon fox of Calamity? ”

Kakashi looked at Hizashi's back, "Is it just because he has animal-like whiskers on his face?" …… I don't want him to ...... The teacher's child is disgusted and disgusted by people in the name of this demon fox, and I want to bring him up well, if you don't agree, then I can only spread the word that Naruto is the son of the fourth Hokage. ”

After being reborn, Kakashi has dared to threaten even the day.

"Are you crazy?! We can't let him be connected to anything related to the four generations now, and you are the only surviving disciple of the four generations, only fourteen years old, so it is easy for you to adopt an unrelated child to make people think too much! And the purpose of our hiding of his background is also—"

"Because the teacher has a lot of enemies, do you want to protect him?"

Kakashi frowned and said sadly, "Sensei is not an invincible existence, and the enemy he defeated, can he still threaten Konoha or anything?" Before the teacher became famous, wasn't Konoha also a very powerful existence? ”

——“…… With such a powerful ninja village, can't even a small child be protected? ”

“……”

Hinata wanted to say something to continue refuting Kakashi's words, but found that what he said was also the truth.

Now there are many people in Konoha who know that the 'demon fox' is Naruto, but the news about his background is very tight.

In the outer villages, there are many, many people who covet tailed beasts.

While Tailed Beasts symbolize calamity among the civilians of their villages, they can also bring more power than humans possess.

So many people know that Naruto's little kid is a demon fox, and then think of the nine-tailed beast as a tailed beast in the shape of a fox...... If someone from the outer village knows about it, then Naruto and the Nine-Tails can only be kept in a hidden place and not let anyone find out.

Since the destruction of the Vortex Country, there have been almost no people from the Vortex Clan.

And the power of the Nine-Tails is so strong that ordinary people can't bear it, so Naruto, who has a whirlpool bloodline, can only continue to serve as the container of the Nine-Tails.

It's not that they don't want to replace Naruto with someone else to receive the Nine-Tails, but they can't.

- After the Tailed Beast is separated, even the Vortex people with very strong vitality and chakra will die, but they can hold on for a while longer than ordinary people.

- The seal under the four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate is not something that ordinary people can break.

The sealing class did not understand the sealing methods of the Vortex Clan, and had never sealed such a powerful existence as the Tailed Beast.

Even if Naruto can be saved, it will take many people to block their lives before they can have a chance to liberate and reseal the Nine-Tails.

- No one was chosen.

Although there are many people in the outer village who have similar physical abilities to the Uzumaki clan, those people ...... Not credible.

Even if they happen to find a few descendants of the Uzumaki Clan, they are not from their own village.

“…… I've made up my mind, I'm sorry, Lord Miyome, I'll give you the resignation letter as soon as possible. ”

Kakashi stood up when Hizashi didn't give an order.
