Kakashi's Missing? No Problem, It Can Wait Until Tomorrow!

"Waaaaah, thank goodness, you're finally back..."

Mikoto hugged Naruto and Sasuke, crying bitterly.

These two children suddenly disappeared from the Shinobi World, and no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't be found. If it weren't for Itachi telling him some time ago that the Genjutsu buried in Sasuke's eyes had been triggered, they would have been able to find them.

She had assumed the two children were long gone... but it turned out Itachi told her that Sasuke and Naruto were probably trapped somewhere.

Someone tried to control Sasuke with Genjutsu, but it was deflected by the Genjutsu Itachi had planted in Sasuke's eyes.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Mikoto held the two children tightly, afraid that they might disappear from her sight again if she wasn't careful.

Just then, Fugaku and Itachi, who had heard the commotion, also rushed over.

When Fugaku saw that Naruto and Sasuke had returned safely, he crossed his arms, his tense expression finally softening into a smile.

When Itachi saw Sasuke and Naruto, he kept looking them over, trying to see if they were injured, since he had received news of the changes on Sasuke's side earlier.

"Father, Mother, we're back. We're sorry to have worried you."

Sasuke felt a little embarrassed, and Naruto felt the same way. Seeing this whole family worrying about him and Sasuke warmed their hearts.

"Hmph, you brats, if you dare to disappear without a word again, I'll make you pay!"

As she spoke, Mikoto grabbed Sasuke's ear and twisted it 180 degrees, causing Sasuke to howl in pain.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Mom, I'll never do it again!"

"Hmph, so you're even calling for your mother to beg for mercy?"

Although she said that, Mikoto still let go of Sasuke's ear, her eyes glancing at Naruto.

Startled, Naruto quickly apologized.

"Aunt Mikoto, don't worry, I'll be very obedient, I'll definitely be good."

Naruto immediately swore an oath, completely lacking the decisiveness he displayed when fighting the Danzo the Wanderer.

In Naruto's eyes, the Fugaku family had adopted him when he was young, and they were no different from his own family. Similarly, Naruto liked this family very much.

A silent father, a worried older brother, a troublesome Sasuke, and a beautiful mother who takes responsibility for everything.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Itachi arrived at a training ground of the Uchiha.

"Alright, Sasuke, Naruto, now can you tell me where you guys went?"

Itachi didn't believe a word the two people had said.

It turns out that when Mikoto asked where they had gone, Naruto and Sasuke told a little lie to put Mikoto at ease, saying that they had gone to a faraway place in the Shinobi World and got lost because they were having too much fun.

"Sigh, I couldn't hide it from you after all, Itachi. Actually, we've accidentally wandered into another world."

Itachi raised an eyebrow, signaling Naruto to continue.

"It's a strange world. People who die in the Shinobi World have a chance of being reincarnated in that world..."

Itachi's pupils widened suddenly; he never imagined such a wondrous world existed.

Next, Naruto and Sasuke began to explain to Itachi some of the things they encountered in the Wanderer World...

Itachi listened with great amazement, especially since Naruto and Sasuke had encountered Danzo again at that time, which made Itachi break out in a cold sweat for the two of them.

Fortunately, the two eventually managed to defeat Danzo and return to the Shinobi World.

"So, how long have we been away from the Shinobi World?"

Itachi remained silent, pondering for a long time before giving Naruto his answer.

Six months have passed since we discovered you had disappeared.

"Hiss, half a year? It seems the flow of time is different in these two worlds."

"Oh, right, Danzo is dead."

Upon hearing Itachi's words, Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a glance, both with expressions of "I knew it!"

This explains why the Danzo the Wanderer suddenly changed his personality. It turns out that after the Danzo of the Shinobi World died, he went to the Wanderer World and directly replaced that guy Danzo the Wanderer.

By the time they found him, Danzo was already dead. The strange thing was that there were no wounds on his body; it was as if he had died suddenly.

Just then, a member of the Anbu appeared near them.

"Naruto, Sasuke, the Lord Hokage requests your presence."

Naruto whistled.

"Lead the way."

In the Hokage's office, seeing that Naruto and Sasuke were safe and sound, Tsunade finally felt relieved.

God knows how panicked she was when she learned that Naruto and Sasuke had disappeared. One was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha, and the other was the second young master of the Uchiha Clan.

It's fair to say that Naruto and Sasuke were the future top fighting force of Konoha. Losing two such geniuses at once made Tsunade unable to eat for a long time.

Fortunately, the two returned safely.

Especially Naruto. In Tsunade's eyes, this kid is the best candidate to become the next Hokage. He has a pure and upright background and his strength is on a completely different level.

"Hey, Granny Tsunade, what kind of look is that? Are you plotting how to make me Hokage?"

Tsunade, caught off guard by Naruto's revelation, coughed awkwardly a few times.

Damn brat, was he really that obvious?

"Let's make this clear first, you can give the next Hokage to whomever you like, but don't give it to me. Give it to Kakashi, Itachi, or Fugaku, anything but me."

Tsunade was somewhat angry upon hearing this.

"You brat, do you even know how many people dream of Hokage but can't get the position? And you, you're actually complaining about it."

Tsunade's words earned her an even more disdainful look from Naruto.

"Tch, that's other people's business, I'm not doing it."

"You brat, you're going to be the death of me!"

Tsunade berserk, grabbing her hair and slamming her hand on the table, cracking the entire table.

"Alright, I called you here today because I have a task for you."

Seeing Tsunade suddenly become serious, Naruto and Sasuke also stood at attention, waiting for her command.

"We've made progress on the Kara you asked me to keep an eye on. We were investigating Kakashi before, but Kakashi's recently lost contact with us. I want you to find Kakashi and bring him back."

Naruto was taken aback upon hearing this. Was the Kara already showing signs of emerging at this point?

That shouldn't be the case, the Akatsuki are still around!

And where did Kakashi go to get himself killed this time?

"This time, Jiraiya that bastard Jiraiya lead the team. You, Sasuke, and Hinata will go on the mission together."

Naruto, who had just left the Hokage's office, still couldn't figure out who could have kidnapped Kakashi.

Could it be that the Akatsuki members are planning to attack Konoha now that I'm gone?

"No, I need to go to the Akatsuki right now and get to the bottom of this."

Just as Naruto was about to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique to find Nagato, a voice interrupted Naruto.

"Naruto-kun!"

As soon as Naruto turned around after hearing someone call his name, a beautiful figure rushed into his arms.

Looking at the long blue hair rubbing against his chest, Naruto smiled. He could ask Kakashi about it tomorrow...
