Kakashi held the child before he could get five steps before he was so fussed that he couldn't continue walking.

"What's wrong?"

Kakashi hugged the child tightly, trying not to let him tumble over the sand because he was too noisy.

Naruto just shook his head stubbornly, struggling constantly.

He knew that Kakashi wanted to talk to someone, so he decided not to talk to Kakashi for the time being.

Kakashi really didn't know what the kid was thinking, and he couldn't think of anything when he thought about it...... I don't think there's anything important to do in such a place, but it's not important that I can come up with a lot of things, but it's probably unlikely.

Anyway, Kakashi was ready to intercept Naruto first, and then put him down to see what the kid wanted.

This time, Naruto didn't run around, and after being put down, he first stomped a few feet on the ground covered with thick dust and sand, and then ran to Tenzo's side with a look of disgust and difficulty, unceremoniously grabbed his hand, and raised his face at Kakashi.

Kakashi sighed, took the baggage from Tenzo with mixed feelings, and walked in the same direction that Obito said.

Tenzo didn't move, but Naruto's hand was so tight that it wouldn't be easy even if he wanted to pull it back, and it could even be said that it would be more troublesome.

Anyway, according to his own understanding, he led the child behind Kakashi.

ㅤ

They were brought in in the middle of the night, and Obito didn't notice without sleeping.

When I slept in the middle of the night, I was picked up and eaten, and then thrown to a place where there was not even a tree or a rock, and even if I wanted to take a break, I couldn't find shelter to block the wind.

That's right, it's windy here.

You have to comb four small braids so that you won't be blown away by the wind.

Naruto was soon blown away by the wind and sand, and he lowered his head and kept rubbing his eyes, and he had to walk deep and shallow in the sand, walking extremely slowly.

"If you rub it too much, your eyes will hurt, I'll blow it for you."

Kakashi, who had been keeping an eye on the rear, didn't move forward, crouching down and reaching out to see the child's eyes, but Naruto's arms and head turned away from him and hid behind Tenzo.

“…… I'm sorry. ”

Tenzo always felt that he should apologize to his seniors, even if he didn't do anything.

"Ah...... No, it's not your problem, you don't have to, I'm happy to see him so close to you......"

Kakashi sighed again as he spoke.

- "Naruto......?" ”

Kakashi poked his head behind Tenzo, who turned around cooperatively.

The child hurriedly took a few steps and walked around behind Tenzo, hugging his thigh.

It was obvious that he didn't want to pay attention to Kakashi, and he could even see the sand blown by the wind, let alone the two of them.

——“…… Can you please wait and carry him away? Trouble. ”

Kakashi stood up with mixed emotions and looked into Tenzo's eyes.

From the sight of each other, Tenzo found something unloved.

But he didn't know how to comfort the senior.

Lecture to this child?

No, if it were him, he probably wouldn't listen, and he might even say that he was nosy.

Although Tenzo has only known them for a month, although they have both lived together, they still don't know anyone well...... But he always felt that the kid's reaction would be like that.

And he really didn't have any identities and qualifications to speak of Naruto. Variety Literature

"Yes, senior, I'll help take care of him."

And the average junior is rarely able to directly refuse the request of the senior, even if he is unwilling, sometimes he has to agree.

Tenzo wanted to pick up the child and stuff it directly into the arms of his predecessors now, but he didn't do that.

He squatted down like his predecessor just now, and a child naturally grew in his arms, as if the child had grown in his arms.

Naruto found himself in a comfortable position, tilting his head against Tenzo's shoulder, his head against the side of his neck, and closing his eyes that were watery from the sand.

Tenzo shielded him from the wind, and there was no more sand to make intimate contact with his eyes.

…… The child who has calmed down is really not an ordinary well-behaved, and if it is a child in this state, Tenzo feels that he may be able to hold it all the time.

That's what makes Kakashi-senpai especially sorry......

Tenzo looked at the less firm back in front of him, and the feeling of guilt came out of nowhere, and there were some feelings that he didn't quite know what it was, but in short, he was very sorry...... Nearly full will overflow.

"Do you want to change your image too?"

Kakashi pointed to Naruto's differently colored hair, and then to his own head, which was wrapped in a scarf-like scarf.

"I don't need to...... My seniors are not like me, and no one here seems to know me. ”

Tenzo raised his arm and hugged the child, half-twisted his body to look at himself who could see the place.

Well, it's normal, as long as you cover the brand on the dark part of your left upper arm, you can't tell that it's Konoha people.

Kakashi's hair color and eye shape are similar to his famous father's, so he is probably more familiar than himself?

"Again, it's better to dress up normally."

Kakashi didn't force him either, nodding his head and glancing at the child before turning his face back.

…… Naruto and Mizumon-sensei were similar, just like he was to his father.

If you cover your short blonde hair with a black wig, you will be able to think of a teacher with the same color as her eyes, even if she only has blue eyes that are as beautiful as jewels.

Even if there are very few people with such eye color, it is just like the red hair that exists in the world today - the Uzumaki people used to have red hair, but some of them were dark and some of them were light...... But red-haired people don't necessarily have a vortex bloodline.

Ever since Naruto was born, his perception of the Uzumaki clan has changed to that they don't necessarily have red hair.

Because it can really be said that there are almost no ...... The life that was born from the Uzumaki clan was basically red hair, and Naruto was the only known exception.

But seriously, if Naruto had red hair, he probably wouldn't have to disguise himself.

But the kid didn't seem to like that very much, preferring black and white hair and his own blonde hair...... However, if the pupils are red, the child can accept it.

But Kakashi prefers Naruto's all-natural blonde hair, which feels weird whether it's black or white or whatever...... Although that didn't make a difference in Kakashi's mood when he wanted to take care of him.

Maybe it's a delusion......? The black-haired kid always gave him the feeling of being treated indifferently.

But he didn't think that hair color had anything to do with what had happened today, because he had really messed with people today in terms of the food that children valued the most.

Kakashi had the experience of stealing his food unintentionally and almost dying.

…… When I go back in a few days, Mr. Jiraiya will be back too.

How long can I see how young he looks?

When we see each other again in the future, he may grow taller.

But I don't have to live until I have a chance to see it.
