The next morning.
Team 7, who haven't had any tasks for a long time, just need a good rest today.
Naruto, who usually goes to bed early, still woke up very early.
While he was washing, there was a knock on the door.
"Here we come."
Naruto's mouth was full of Utakata, and he went to open the door with a toothbrush in his mouth.
I saw Kakashi-sensei standing at the door of my house and saying hello to me.
Naruto was stunned and subconsciously rubbed his eyes.
[Kakashi-sensei did not go through the window, nor did he take out Icha Icha Paradise and watch from the side, but knocked on the door honestly?]
"I, Chakra, have almost recovered, so I came over right away."
Kakashi, who didn't know what Naruto was thinking, explained.
This sentence made Naruto look at him in even more shock.
Naruto's eyes made Kakashi feel uncomfortable. Is there something wrong with him?
Or are you saying that you are being watched by someone? Naruto is hinting at yourself?
Minato-sensei has not let anyone discover his whereabouts for so many years. It is only natural that Naruto would be so vigilant!
Thinking of this, Kakashi used his superb investigative abilities that he had gained from working in Shinobi World for many years, and almost instantly investigated all the suspicious places around him that might be under surveillance.
Because several buildings around here have been bought by Sasuke, no one lives here except him and Naruto, and naturally no one comes and goes, so everyone who appears nearby is a target of suspicion!
Sure enough, Kakashi spotted a short but sneaky red-haired figure poking his head towards this side near the trash can downstairs.
It's just that rather than saying she's spying, it's more like saying she's stalking a certain black-haired guy.
"Isn't that the little girl from the Uzumaki Clan?"
Kakashi is very confused.
"She has been waiting for Sasuke to say hello to him for several days."
"Then it seems that you don't have to pay attention to her. You should spit out the Utakata in your mouth first."
"Gulu."
Maybe he thought what Kakashi said made sense, but Kakashi looked at Naruto and actually swallowed it subconsciously, swallowing all the toothpaste Utakata.
He wiped his mouth, touched his head and smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I just didn't expect Kakashi-sensei that you would arrive early?"
"... Is it because of this?"
Kakashi is speechless.
Then Kakashi walked into Naruto's small home with a clear view, but it was very neat and tidy, and it looked like someone had taken care of it.
"I didn't expect you to be so early, teacher. Fortunately, yesterday I told Hinata that I would take care of breakfast today. Sasuke also didn't come back all night."
Kakashi couldn't help but want to ask Naruto why he knew Sasuke didn't come back all night.
"What to do next? Use Flying Thunder God to take me away?"
When she thought of seeing Minato, Kakashi's heart beat so fast that she had forgotten how long it had been since she was so excited.
"Well, teacher, please take off Forehead Protector first, oh, don't close your eyes."
"Then what?"
"Wait for me, I'll try to relax."
Kakashi blinked Sharingan, then looked at Naruto and shook his head.
"What are you doing?"
"I had some special training with Sasuke some time ago. I had a bit of a stress reaction to Eye Power from Sharingan, so I had to use Matsushita, otherwise it would be easy to subconsciously break the move."
"Stress?"
"Okay, it's almost done! Come on, teacher, use Sharingan to use Genjutsu or any other non-offensive Dojutsu on me!"
Kakashi suddenly remembered the scene when he used Genjutsu to see Nine-Tails, and seemed to understand something.
Three Tomoe rotated slowly, and at the moment when Eye Power passed through Sharingan and started Genjutsu, the scene in front of Kakashi changed drastically, but it was not the cold and majestic dark scene in the impression, but a very warm and peaceful white space.
Opposite him, the familiar figure that was no different from his memory was looking at him with a smile.
He is still mature and steady beyond his age, and still as gentle and handsome as dazzling as a flame.
"Long time no see, Kakashi, you... have grown up, you are taller than me."
There was still a sense of strangeness between the two, but Minato took the initiative to walk up to Kakashi and compared their heights with him with a smile.
Kakashi looked at the face that was no different from his memory, feeling a little sad:
"After all, I am twenty-six years old, teacher."
"Yes, it has been so many years... Speaking of which, I was only twenty-four when I died. Now you are not only taller than me, you are even older than me, hahahaha."
Minato suddenly reached out and touched Kakashi's hair with a smile:
"But I'm still your teacher. I've seen you put in a lot of effort in Naruto's body over the years, and it's changed a lot..."
"It has been very hard."
"I..."
Kakashi showed a wry smile. In front of Minato, he nodded. "I am indeed a little tired."
"Really? Then let's have a good chat."
Minato's tone sounded as if the difference between life and death for more than ten years was just a temporary separation, and their master and apprentice only had some unfamiliar communication after a long separation.
"Minato-sensei, are you really in Naruto's body all the time, starting from that night of Nine-Tails' Attack?"
"Well, to be precise, it's a little different from what you think. The me you see is actually just my Chakra left in Naruto's body."
Minato explained.
"A copy of Chakra?"
Kakashi was wondering, then seemed to think of something, and quickly looked around:
"Teacher, since this is Inner Space of Naruto, where is Nine-Tails?"
"I'm here, Kakashi!"
In the pure white, the huge fox head of Nine-Tails suddenly appeared in the air.
Nine-Tails not only startled Kakashi, but looking at Kakashi as if facing a formidable enemy, Nine-Tails's huge fox head showed an evil smile like the mastermind behind the scenes, "Hey, it's too late to escape now. In this space, you will fall into my hands. You have no way to escape. As long as I want, I can destroy your consciousness in an instant and give you a few more Sealing Jutsu!"
