Before Kakashi could recover from the panic he had just had, he was frightened by the reality he was in.

"Naruto" "Don't come here!" ”

Naruto bypassed Kakashi and ran out of bed, retreating towards the door while watching him warily.

Kakashi raised his hand slightly, and Naruto suddenly took a few steps back, the expression on his face as if he had said again, 'I'll run away if you come again.'"

Kakashi lowered his hand in a depressed manner.

However, Naruto ran away anyway, and just like that, he ran out of Kakashi's house without looking back.

Kakashi knew that he couldn't just wait at home this time, so he hurriedly picked up Naruto's quilt and chased after the child, who was no longer visible.

Naruto had a lot of blood on his arms though, but there wasn't a trace of blood on the bed or on the floor or on the road outside the house.

But Kakashi was in a hurry to find the child and didn't pay attention to it.

When he went out and didn't see where anyone was going, Kakashi panicked and directly channeled the few puppies he currently had, and asked them to smell Naruto's quilt and use it as a guide.

"Woohoo!"

Kakashi's puppies didn't listen to him, and after howling, they rushed at him with their mouths wide open and bit him.

"Wait—"

——……

Kakashi suddenly realized that it was not the summoned puppy biting his arm, but the child who was wrinkling his face and biting his upper arm.

{The one just now...... Also a dream? }

Kakashi didn't feel how painful the child's bite was without strong teeth, and there were a few lost muscles in his upper arm, which was like a finger ...... The feeling of being gnawed by a puppy cub whose teeth have not yet grown.

He's been gnawed by dogs many times.

Naruto was lying on Kakashi's right arm while being encircled by his left arm.

At this point, he was facing the ceiling, biting Kakashi's upper left arm.

“…… Naruto? Are you hungry? Anyway, let's loosen my mouth now...... ”

Kakashi tried to use good words to persuade the little one to let go.

Naruto didn't reply, biting and kicking his stomach with his foot.

Kakashi tried to pull the child away from his arm, and succeeded.

It went incredibly.

"I don't want to sleep with you anymore! You're going to strangle me to death! ”

Naruto, who was pushed back to his puppet, pouted unhappily, brushed aside the little puppet and crawled back to the inside of his big puppet, hiding his figure.

Kakashi realized that his whole body was in a state of tense muscles, and his heartbeat was not usually fast, and his strength was also very strong.

It's like someone is beating a drum in their heart.

"I ...... I had a terrible dream, I'm sorry, it scared you. ”

Kakashi hesitantly reached out and scratched the fluffy puppet a few times with the back of his fingers.

The child pulled the puppet back, but it didn't, only the flannel on the belly was pulled back and out of shape.

…… Luckily, it was just a dream.

Kakashi pinched his shoulders and legs where Naruto couldn't see, and used the chakra to sharpen his consciousness.

It's reality.

Now, when nothing terrible like that has happened, it is indeed a real reality.

Naruto hugged the big puppet's arm tightly and didn't talk to him, not even showing his face.

——“…… I dreamed of Lynn again, and she said that what I am doing now is all for ...... Escape from what has happened. ”

Kakashi reached out his index finger and touched the back of Naruto's hand, and Naruto immediately withdrew his hand when he was touched, but he didn't hide his arm completely.

- "She was right, I was indeed running away, thinking that as long as I changed the 'past' here, those things I didn't want to recall could be buried forever, and I killed the 'sin' of my companion...... It no longer exists. ”

Whatever the specific reason, it is the most important reality that he ended her life with his own hands.

Reason? …… No amount of reasons can erase that part of the past, unless the memory is sealed and then completely erased.

However, that is just a "life" that the "amnesiac" has an impression of, "it has not happened", and it is just self-deception.

—" She was right. ”

Kakashi lay on the other side of the puppet, covering his face with a fluffy fabric.

“…… Rin wasn't that kind of person, it was just your own 'guilt', she was mentally prepared when she rushed towards you - although the preparation time was only for a short time, and those foggy shadows would not do anything to her, because it was up to her to 'destroy Konoha', and it was only the two of you who were there at the time - you didn't know that Obito was rushing over there, did you? ”

Naruto reached out from under the puppet's arm and grabbed Kakashi's hair in the palm of his hand.

He found that it felt really good to pick up other people's hair.

“…… Well. ”

Kakashi raised his head slightly to make it easier for the child to grasp his hair, but his face was still buried in the flannel, and he could only answer in a muffled voice.

"If something goes wrong before returning to Konoha, then not only will Konoha have an accident after that, but you will also be involved next to her, she should believe you, she is a random time bomb with a tailed beast, she ...... Maybe I feel that I will only drag you back, so I choose to die at your hands, after all, I can't run away with you in that state, otherwise both you and Konoha will ...... And if you were the only one left, you would have a chance to escape. ”

- "It doesn't matter if you can't beat it, there are really a lot of people on the other side, and you're only left with yourself, even if you go back to the village, no one will blame you for 'running away', after all, you are a talent who became a shinobi at the age of twelve, and one shinobi is better than ten...... Ten very ordinary shinobi are much more important. ”

Naruto wanted to say that the upper ninja was more important than the lower ninja, but after thinking about it...... Hawkers, Hara Naru is much more important than most of Konoha people.

Although ordinary villagers do not know.

- "She sacrificed herself, hoping that you and Konoha are safe, and Sister Lin is so gentle, she will never say anything like that to you, don't think about that anymore, you've already died once-it should be once, in this life, you don't think about those messes anymore, and be my nanny with peace of mind." ”

Naruto grabbed his hair and made him lift his head a little, and after leaning over himself, he lowered his head and gently knocked the other person's skull with his own skull.

Although Itachi and his brother's forehead behavior ended well, Naruto didn't want to play like that.

- "Okay, if you still care, then you wait for her to wake up and ask her, the big deal is that she will be beaten up for a long time, she shouldn't have the kind of idea of wanting revenge, hoping that you die, Obito has a love filter, so I won't talk about it, I haven't really been in contact, but you should know her very well, so I haven't been able to forget it for many years. ”

It was supposed to be the case of Kakashi coaxing the child, but it turned out that the child had to coax Kakashi, the eldest child.

Naruto felt that he really owed himself.

- I owe that 'friendliness' to myself.
