Chapter 324 Guilt and Expectation
Facing Naruto's curious and worried eyes.
"Go sit over there and talk."
Kakashi pointed to the stands not far away and walked over with Naruto, taking two cans of drinks from the vending machine on the sidelines.
"Thank you."
Naruto took the drink from Kakashi, then sat in the stands and listened to the latter's story about the Fourth Hokage.
"When should we start talking about it?"
Kakashi showed a reminiscing look, and his thoughts went back to 20 years ago.
After sorting it out in his mind, he cleared his throat and told Naruto everything he knew about the Yondaime.
From Namikaze Minato as a genius among civilian ninjas, he rose like a comet in Konoha;
After he became a Jonin and took in three disciples, Kakashi, Obito and Lin, every detail of the daily life of the four masters and disciples;
In the Third Ninja World War, he used the Flying Thunder God technique to crisscross the battlefield, defeating the powerful enemies of Iwagakure and Kumogakure, leaving behind a reputation as a yellow flash that frightened enemies;
Until the end of the war, Minato succeeded to the position of Hokage under the support of the people, and finally chose to sacrifice himself for the sake of the village.
Of course, Kakashi did not forget his master-mother, Uzumaki Kushina.
It is said that she came to Konoha from Uzushio Village when she was a child, and met Minato at the Ninja School. They slowly came together and became an enviable golden boy and girl.
During the narration process, Kakashi always had nostalgia and respect on his face, which was enough to show the Yondaime's status in his heart.
Naruto was also fascinated.
In all his life, apart from the history class at Ninja School, this was the first time he heard about his father's deeds from others.
Naruto's heart was filled with infinite longing for that yellow flash of light that traversed the ninja world.
But at the same time, he became more and more nervous, and his whole person was on pins and needles.
Because Naruto was afraid and did not dare to face his father who was about to be resurrected.
Namikaze Minato is the hero who protects Konoha. For the peace of the village, he has been fighting Konoha's enemies all his life.
Such a person is simply the embodiment of light and justice, and his eyes cannot tolerate any criminals, especially crimes against Konoha.
As the son of a hero, Naruto betrayed Konoha and became the leader of a terrorist organization.
For such a bastard son, the father's heart should be filled with only disappointment and anger.
thought here.
Naruto couldn't help but look sad and retreated.
He really didn't have the courage to see his father, let alone confess his crimes in front of the latter.
Kakashi had a keen mind and had been observing Naruto, so he naturally noticed the latter's emotional changes.
So, he stretched out a hand and patted Naruto on the shoulder:
"The Yondaime-sama came here just now and watched you and Sasuke's sparring from a distance."
what? !
When Naruto heard this, his eyes widened and he was shocked.
Immediately, he stood up suddenly and looked around in surprise.
"The Yondaime is gone." Kakashi also stood up, sighed, and comforted Naruto.
"……oh, I see."
Naruto looked embarrassed and didn't ask why.
Because he felt that the reason why his father did not see him must be extremely disappointed in him and felt that it was too embarrassing to have such a son.
He ruined his father's reputation.
Kaka.
Naruto clenched his fists, lowered his head, and walked away step by step with heavy steps.
After he took a few steps, Kakashi's voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"The Yondaime said he was very relieved."
"!"
Naruto was shocked, turned around slowly, and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Kakashi walked towards Naruto, stared at the boy sincerely, and relayed the Yondaime's words word for word:
"The Yondaime said that even though you have experienced so many hardships over the years, you still remain sincere and cheerful, and your heart has not been eroded by darkness.
He was relieved to see this.
At the same time, he felt guilty.Because he was the one who sealed the Nine Tails in your body on his own initiative. As a result, you turned into a little demon fox that was hated by everyone, and you experienced sadness and frustration.
So the Yondaime said, he has no face to see you. "
After saying these words, Kakashi felt sad in his heart.
Minato and Naruto, a father and son who had never met each other, were filled with guilt for each other. They felt that it was their fault and were too embarrassed to meet each other.
To put it another way, they are a father and son, with exactly the same character in their bones.
"Father, is he...feeling guilty?"
Naruto murmured, his whole body froze, an indescribable feeling welling up in his heart.
at this time.
"There is another thing that the Yondaime asked me to give to you." Kakashi said as he handed Naruto a scroll.
"This is……"
"A-level ninjutsu, Rasengan. It was a ninjutsu that the Yondaime got inspiration from the tailed beast jade and spent three years creating it."
Kakashi explained, holding out a hand.
In Naruto's surprised eyes.
Chi Chi.
I saw a large amount of chakra condensing in Kakashi's palm and rotating at high speed, quickly forming a blue chakra ball, exuding a very dangerous aura.
"Is this the Rasengan?" Naruto stared at the chakra ball in Kakashi's palm, and indeed saw the shadow of the tailed beast jade in its form.
The chakra ball gradually dissipated in Kakashi's palm.
"What a shame, my Rasengan is nothing compared to the Yondaime.
Speaking of which, the Yondaime's original purpose in creating this technique was to help your mother, Uzumaki Kushina-sama, so that she could make full use of her huge chakra.
In other words, the more chakra a ninja has, the more powerful he will be when using this move.
Therefore, this technique will definitely suit you very well, Naruto.
If you don't understand anything during practice, you can ask me and I will do my best to help you. "
Kakashi warned Naruto seriously.
"Thank you, Lord Kakashi." Naruto put away the scroll and bowed to Kakashi solemnly.
this moment.
Looking at the yellow-haired boy with sincere eyes in front of him, Kakashi seemed to see the high-spirited Yondaime in his youth.
He helped Naruto up and warned the latter again in a serious tone:
"Naruto, the Rasengan is the fourth generation's iconic ninjutsu. No one in the entire ninja world knew it. He gave this jutsu to you in the hope that you could inherit his mantle. Do you understand?"
"I, can I really?"
Naruto muttered, not confident in himself.
"of course can."
Kakashi gave the answer without hesitation, and also encouraged Naruto, "Naruto, you can also become the hero of Konoha Village like your father, and even the future Hokage. I think this is also the fourth generation. The best I can hope for you.”
Naruto was shocked again, and his sky-blue pupils suddenly expanded.
Like many teenagers in Konoha, Hokage was once Naruto's biggest dream as a child.
As long as he becomes Hokage, people in the village will no longer hate and ostracize him, and they will no longer call him a demon fox or brat.In addition, he no longer has to eat instant noodles and drink expired milk every day.
The young Naruto once had such an innocent and beautiful dream.
Now, this dream that had been buried in his heart for many years was awakened again by Kakashi's words.
Can someone like him also become Hokage?
Kakashi saw Naruto's inferiority complex, so he patted the young man on the shoulder and told Naruto some good news: "The Sixth Generation has told me that if you plan to stay in Konoha, you don't need a ninja forehead protector." Come on, let’s start as a genin. In addition, your two teammates have also been found, they are all your acquaintances in Konoha."
acquaintance?
"Who is it? Could it be..." Naruto's eyes widened.
“Yes, it’s Sasuke and Marisa.
The Sixth Generation also said that he has prepared many tasks and plans to leave them to the three of you to complete.As for whether you want to stay or not, you should think about it yourself. "
After saying this, Kakashi stopped lingering, turned around and left.
Kakashi really wanted to help Naruto and let him embark on a correct and bright path.
But he would not force Naruto, but would leave sufficient time and space for Naruto to make his own decision.
after all.
The Fourth Generation's expectations, and the Sixth Generation's respect, if Naruto couldn't be retained, there was no need to force it.
Naruto stood there in a daze, thinking for a long, long time.
Tianshou Pavilion.
"Gu Jie, long time no see, you are still so full of energy."
Namikaze Minato looked at the old guard coming towards him, smiled and said hello.
"Old man...you read that right."
Maruboshi Kosuke rubbed his eyes, looked at the yellow-haired man in front of him in disbelief, and asked in surprise, "Are you...the Fourth Hokage?"
Years ago, he fought alongside the Yondaime, and the latter even bandaged his wounds himself.
"That's right, your current Hokage resurrected me through earth reincarnation at Nanga Shrine."
Minato pointed at the cracks on his face, which were the unique signs of the reincarnation of the Earth.
"It's really you!"
Maruboshi Kosuke's voice trembled, and he burst into tears for a while.
"Okay, don't cry now. Can you take me to see the Sixth Hokage? He was obviously the one who resurrected me, but he left first. I'm a little confused about his thoughts."
Minato patted Maruhoshi Kosuke on the shoulder.
"Okay, please come with me."
Kosuke Maruhoshi nodded quickly and led the way for Minato.
The Konoha ninjas along the way looked surprised when they saw the two of them.
"Who is the man walking with Kosuke-senpai? The cloak on his back actually says Yondaime Hokage. Am I right?"
A young ninja pointed at Minato's back and asked curiously.
"Don't young people today even recognize the yellow flash? Yes, he is the fourth generation Namami Feng Minato. Unexpectedly, he was also resurrected."
Those elderly Konoha ninjas, while explaining to their juniors, did not forget to bow to the Yondaime.
"I didn't expect so many people to remember me."
Minato teased with a smile while waving in response to everyone.
The Konoha Village he saw after his resurrection had already undergone earth-shaking changes, and even the Hokage Rock had disappeared.
Moreover, according to the news he heard from Kakashi, all the previous Hokages of Konoha, including the second generation, third generation, fifth generation and others, have been liquidated to varying degrees, and their reputation and reputation have become very bad.
Minato originally thought that he couldn't escape, but now it seems that it was a bit beyond his expectation.
"You're kidding, how could people forget a hero like you, Yondaime-sama."
Kosuke looked solemn and respected Minato very much.
Ding dong.
The elevator door opened slowly, and the two walked in.
"Haha, don't talk about me anymore. How are you doing now? Are you still used to being a doorman here?"
Minato asked with a smile after waiting for Kosuke to press the floor button of the elevator.
"It's pretty good that an old guy like me can still find a job. Moreover, this job is not only leisurely and relaxing, but also comes with generous benefits and pensions. Speaking of which, this is all thanks to the Sixth Hokage... …”
With a look of emotion on his face, Kosuke told Minato how he had been miserable in his later years and almost ended up living on the street, but luckily he was favored by the Sixth Generation.
The old man's words were full of gratitude to the Sixth Hokage.
It turned out to be the case.
When Minato heard the words, he was thoughtful.
To be honest, his first impression of the Sixth Hokage was not good. After all, he was hanging out with people like Orochimaru, and the purpose of resurrecting him seemed to be for the Nine-Tails in his body.
But what surprised Minato was that the Sixth Hokage didn't go hard on him, but instead asked Kakashi to take him to see Naruto.
Through Kakashi's narration and seeing with his own eyes the Sixth Generation's attitude toward Naruto, Kosuke and others, Minato's inner thoughts also changed unknowingly.
Maybe, he misunderstood the Sixth Hokage, and he was really a good person.
was thinking.
The elevator door slowly opened, and the floor where the Hokage's office was located arrived.
"Yondaime-sama, please."
Kosuke bent down, made a gesture of invitation, and said to Minato, "I will wait for you at the elevator entrance."
"No, you go and do your work. Thank you, Gusuke."
Minato said, walking forward and knocking on the office door.
dong dong dong.
"The Sixth Hokage, I am Minato Namikaze. If it's convenient for you now, I have something I want to talk to you about." Minato said through the door.
After the words fell, there was no movement inside for a long time.
Hey, isn't he here?
Minato didn't expect that his trip would be in vain, and he couldn't help but be stunned.However, if the Sixth Generation was not in the Hokage's office, where would he be?
It seems that I still have to ask Kakashi for help.
"Please, please come in." At this moment, a weak voice came from the office.
It turns out there are people.
So, with a creak, Minato gently opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw a girl with long black hair opposite the desk, standing up from the Hokage's chair in a panic, with a nervous and uneasy look on her face.
"I, I am Hokage-sama's secretary, my name is Hinata Hinata, please give me your advice!"
Hinata stammered after introducing herself and bowed to Minato with a red face.
A member of the Hyuga clan?
The girl in front of her looked to be in her teens. She must be something special to become the Hokage's secretary at such a young age.
Minato thought this in his heart, showed a sunny smile, and asked Hinata:
"Hello, is the Sixth Hokage here?"
"He, he's not here." Hinata tensed her body and answered Minato's question carefully, for fear of saying the wrong word.
"Don't be nervous, little girl. I shouldn't be that scary when I look like this, right?"
Minato made a joke and thought it was his filthy reincarnation, which scared Hinata.
then.
He took the initiative to communicate with Hinata again, and in the process, Minato's expression became more and more surprised.
The Sixth Hokage actually asked the secretary on his first day of work to sit in his Hokage seat and help him handle Konoha's government affairs.
As the Hokage himself, he was blatantly absent from work and didn't know where to fish.
This is really... outrageous.
Minato, who looked stunned, had a new understanding of the Sixth Hokage's personality and character.
