Kakashi's mental exhaustion hadn't recovered much before he almost collapsed again because of Naruto's incident, and he struggled to get out of the room, but was hooked back to bed by an elbow by Jiraiya, who came into the room from the outside.

"You should rest more, don't learn from the messy person in your family."

Jiraiya didn't look like he wanted to go to the bathroom and stopped him back.

"My business doesn't matter right now... He... I'll have to find Naruto to do ......! ”

Kakashi said and was about to climb down again, but was pushed back by Jiraiya.

"What's wrong with him?"

Jiraiya pressed Kakashi with one hand and pointed at him, turning his head and asking to stop the water.

"Actually......"

Zhishui tried to stand on tiptoe to reach the 1.9+ meter Jiraiya's ear, and it took a while for Jiraiya to realize that he couldn't reach it before leaning down and listening.

"What, he's losing his temper again, didn't I say it, Kakashi, you're too used to him, even if you don't count his identity in it, it's not good, it's not big or small, and you have that attitude towards you who has been taking care of him, you should ——......"

Jiraiya didn't take it seriously at all.

Kakashi struggled for a while without breaking free from the strong man's hands, and for a moment he was anxious and desperate, and his tears flowed uncontrollably even more fiercely than before.

Jiraiya was full of self-righteousness to 'educate' this Kakashi, who wanted to pretend to be an adult even though he was still a child, and obviously didn't understand how adults and children get along with each other normally, and after talking for a while, he felt that something was not right.

The teenager who was 'stopped' by himself was crying.

It was the first time he had seen such a look.

How to put it, it makes people feel very worried.

Especially made the young man who had just relied on his old age and rich life experience to say that this young man also had an inexplicable sense of guilt.

"What, I just said something a little heavy, sorry, sorry, don't cry."

Jiraiya let go of his hand and panicked to coax the teenager.

Zhishui was entangled on the side for a while and didn't dare to interrupt the 'teaching' of the adult Jiraiya, and after seeing that he didn't mean to stop preaching, he retreated to find the child by himself, and now he is jumping outside.

Jiraiya hurriedly helped Kakashi to sit up, patted him on the back and wiped his tears, looked left and right, and wanted to ask Shisui, a boy about the same age as Kakashi, what he wanted to do in this situation, but he didn't find anyone.

"He's really serious, he's not messing around, I... I've lived with him for so long, but I know him very well, if not completely."

Kakashi raised his arm and alternated between his left and right arms to wipe his tears, but the more he wiped and the more he spoke, the more he wanted to cry.

- "Please let me go to him, please, Jiraiya-sensei... I... I..."

——“…… I've lost my companion and my teacher, and I don't want to lose him again......"

…… What have you been working on all these years?

Just to prevent that child from having such painful memories in his young life.

Although in the words that the child said to himself before his death, the idea that he just hoped that he could live well was already considered selfish, but what was wrong with having such selfishness?

If you can live forever, even if there will always be unpleasant things happening, you will also experience fun from various life events, right?

Except for this wish that he could never achieve in his previous life, he had no other regrets.

Only this thing.

It was a 'nightmare' that haunted him for decades.

Kakashi hoped that Naruto would at least go to the Pure Land with countless fond memories.

In order to achieve such a long-cherished wish, even if it is to dedicate oneself and burn the rest of one's life,

He also did not hesitate to do so.
