Naruto: Son of the Fourth Hokage

Afterward, the discussions were no longer about particularly significant matters, but rather about other aspects, such as cooperation on missions and mutual trade.

Before formally forming an alliance, Minato and Yagura both hoped that the ninjas of the two countries could have more exchanges, more understanding, and try to eliminate estrangement. Overall, the two had a fairly speculative conversation, at least reaching an intention to cooperate.

Naruto, while listening in, was thinking about things that were not conducive to cooperation, such as whether the ninja sword in Sasuke's hand should be returned, and whether Ao's Byakugan could be recovered...

Kakashi was somewhat absent-minded in the latter half, still struggling with the fact that Obito was dead but he was still alive, and what to do about Obito's unforgivable mistakes.

After the conversation ended, it was getting late, but Yagura proposed to leave. Minato tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Won't you stay in Konoha for a few days? I haven't had a chance to properly entertain you."

"No need, in fact, I'm already under a lot of pressure just coming out this time." Yagura was telling the truth. After all, he had just been released from the control of the Sharingan, and now he had to run to a village with a large number of Sharingan. Wasn't this like delivering food?

Any other village would have stopped him, but Yagura was unwilling not to see Minato, so he insisted on coming.

Before leaving, he even nominated the candidate for the Fifth Hokage. The higher-ups saw that he was determined, so they had no choice but to let him go.

...

At the gate of Konoha Village, Izumo and Kotetsu stood up straight, looking like they were working very hard.

In fact, they usually sit at the gate to register people entering and leaving, but today is different. They heard that the Hokage-sama would come to see someone off later.

The two discussed and decided to perform well, because they wanted to ask Minato to transfer them to do some other work.

Although they knew that the work of guarding the gate was very important, and they were very happy that the Hokage-sama could entrust such an important thing to them.

But after doing the same job for so long, they occasionally wanted to go out and perform a few missions like others, so they had to perform well in front of the Hokage-sama, so that they would be embarrassed to ask.

As for how they knew that the Hokage-sama was coming, of course, it was because of the Hokage-sama's adopted son standing at the gate.

After taking a look at that 'graceful' figure, please forgive them for using graceful to describe a boy, Izumo and Kotetsu sighed, what a pity, such a beautiful face, if only it was an adopted daughter...

Haku was called by Naruto. Hearing that Zabuza-sensei had successfully returned to Kirigakure, Haku was sincerely happy for him. He knew that although Zabuza-sensei had always been regarded as a rogue ninja, he had always cherished his Forehead Protector.

Earning money by taking on missions as a rogue ninja was also to have the power to change Kirigakure one day. Now that there is a different opportunity, Zabuza-sensei must be very happy.

It's a pity that he will leave soon, and can only wait here to see him off.

When that figure stood in front of Haku, all of Haku's emotions turned into a shallow smile: "Zabuza-sensei, long time no see."

Zabuza-sensei seemed to have lost some weight, but the fierce aura on his face disappeared a lot, and his eyes became more energetic. He must have found his own fighting goal, which is really good.

Zabuza looked at the familiar figure in front of him, "Ah, long time no see."

Is it an illusion? Haku seems to have grown a little taller and stronger, and the smile on his face and the tone of his speech are more energetic than before. A village like Konoha is really suitable for him, which is really good.

The two looked at each other for a moment, saying nothing, but also seeming to say everything.

...

"Fourth Hokage... no, Minato, I'm really glad to know you. It would be great if we could be born in the same village." Yagura felt that Minato was the most outstanding ninja he had ever seen.

Whether it is the image, strength, ideals, or the personal charm exuded in his words, they all make people feel good about him unconsciously, and no matter from which point of view, he definitely does not want to be his enemy.

Minato smiled lightly. He also had a good impression of Yagura. He was a Kage who really cared about the village. It would be nice if they could be friends:

"Then let's work together to make the two villages as close as one family. At that time, there will be no difference between the two villages and one village. You are welcome to visit my house at any time, Yagura."

The two smiled at each other and shook each other's hands.

...

After seeing the Kirigakure group off, Kakashi followed Minato back, hesitant to speak.

Minato, in a long-unseen gesture, placed his hand on Kakashi's head and said softly, "Kakashi, teacher knows you have many questions. I will explain them to you properly."

"Yeah." In that instant, Kakashi seemed to return to the days when he was thirteen or fourteen, when he was having his picture taken with Minato-sensei patting his head. At that time, the teacher's other hand was on Obito's head, with Rin in the middle, worrying about the relationship between the two of them.

So many years have passed, and the warmth of the teacher's palm is still as reassuring as ever.

That night, Kakashi was pleasantly surprised to learn that his close friend, who had been dead for more than a decade, was actually still alive, and equally dismayed to learn that the guy's thinking was so paranoid that he almost wanted to destroy the world.

Kakashi didn't know what to do. On one side was his close friend who was willing to risk his life to save him and even gave him his eyes, and on the other side was the village, the teacher's family who had taken care of him for so many years...

It was destined to be a sleepless night. Kakashi tossed and turned, holding the photo in one hand and covering his eyes with the other. The three tomoe spun rapidly, eventually turning into a triangular shuriken shape:

"I should have thought of it when I discovered the special ability of this eye, Obito..."

I really need to bring him back as soon as possible, even if it means having mother-teacher hang him up and beat him every day, even if it means beating me along with him, even if it means accompanying him to apologize to everyone who has been hurt...

In short, he can't be allowed to continue messing around outside!

...

The next morning.

Sakura, who arrived at the Training Ground early, yawned and said listlessly, "Good morning, Naruto."

"Good morning, Sakura Bro. Is everything at the Hospital finished? You look tired."

Sakura rubbed her shoulders and said, "Of course I'm tired. I've been doing surgery non-stop. Fortunately, all the seriously injured have been rescued, and it doesn't matter if I don't go for the rest."

"You've worked hard." Naruto didn't know what to say. Medical staff are always very hard-working.

"It's nothing." Sakura waved her hand and asked the question she was more concerned about, "It's already this late, why hasn't Sasuke come yet? Is he sick?"

I see right through your sinister intentions to examine Sasuke!

Naruto consciously saw through Sakura Bro's sinister intentions, but he was also a little strange: "That shouldn't be. He was lively and kicking yesterday, just a little unhappy that he didn't get to fight. Could it be that he's throwing a tantrum because of that and doesn't want to come?"

It's not strange for Kakashi to be late, after all, it's a habit, and he received a lot of information yesterday. Sasuke is always very punctual.

However, the two of them waited until the sun was high in the sky, and in the end, they didn't wait for Sasuke, but instead waited for Minato, who opened his mouth with a Lightning Strike:

"Something happened to Sasuke."
