Chapter 256: Father and Son reunion

Chapter 256: Father and Son reunion

Kamui is a public space.

No.

Kamui is Uchiha Obito's private space.

Hatake Kakashi, that idiot, has mastered the usage of Kamui's Mangekyou Sharingan and keeps throwing things into Kamui space, like a bomb today, a shuriken tomorrow...

Uchiha Obito realized the trouble of losing his Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan. If that idiot Hatake Kakashi throws things in there while he's fighting in the future...

"Should I take back the eye I gave to that idiot..."

Uchiha Obito didn't want to break his promise, mainly to avoid being laughed at for taking back something he had given away.

For a Uchiha, that would be too humiliating!

"Forget it."

Uchiha Obito thought of Nagato's Rinnegan, which he wanted more: "I should find a way to get the Rinnegan in the future. Only the Rinnegan can control the Ten Tails and release Infinite Tsukuyomi. I don't trust Madara..."

Compared to a mere Mangekyo Sharingan...

Uchiha Obito desired the Rinnegan to control the Ten Tails.

In Konoha Village.

Teams 7 and 3 successfully completed the mission to rescue the Kazekage and were returning to the village. Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura were curious about the Root ninja accompanying them.

"Go and train hard first..."

Hatake Kakashi refused to answer Uzumaki Naruto's questions, feeling that the gap in strength between Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke was too great. After returning to the village, Naruto needed to train hard.

Coincidentally.

Hatake Kakashi knew some secrets.

For instance, there were four Edo Tensei resurrected Hokage in the village.

This should have been a secret, but Hatake Kakashi, having rejoined the Anbu during a two to three year break, naturally learned this secret.

When reporting to Tsunade after returning to the village, Hatake Kakashi casually made his request: "I want Minato-sensei to teach Naruto..."

"Coincidentally, the four previous Hokage have just returned..."

Tsunade frowned but said, "I can bring this up at the village's Hokage meeting. The Fourth Hokage should agree to it... They are all in the Root division now."

"We need to act quickly."

Hatake Kakashi felt a sense of urgency and whispered, "The Akatsuki organization has started to act. Naruto's training results are still not enough..."

"Not enough?"

Tsunade felt that Naruto performed well in the last test: "I think the kid has made quite a lot of progress over the years..."

"..."

Hatake Kakashi sighed to himself.

Although Naruto's progress was significant, he was still far behind Uchiha Sasuke, and Naruto's strength was not enough to protect himself. The Akatsuki organization had captured the One-Tailed Jinchuuriki of Sand Village, and they would surely target Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki...

Fortunately.

Hatake Kakashi had a good relationship with Akihara Kagura.

Hatake Kakashi decided to meet Akihara Kagura, hoping to see the Fourth Hokage Minato and discuss Naruto's training.

Akihara Kagura had just received news about the retrieval of the One-Tail Shukaku and casually suggested: "Why not let Naruto apply to join the Root? His strength would surely improve quickly..."

"Lady Tsunade would never agree to that..."

Hatake Kakashi couldn't imagine Naruto joining the Root, shaking his head repeatedly: "Besides, if that guy joins the Root, wouldn't it be a headache for you as the Root leader?"

There were a few people in Konoha who were not suited for the Anbu and Root divisions, like Might Guy and Rock Lee, and Uzumaki Naruto. Their personalities were too sunny...

As an old friend of Akihara Kagura, Hatake Kakashi's small requests couldn't be refused. Akihara Kagura agreed to Kakashi's request directly.

Moreover,

Hatake Kakashi, feeling somewhat opportunistic, rubbed his hands together nervously: "By the way, I also heard you mastered the nature transformation of the Rasengan..."

Obviously.

Hatake Kakashi wanted Akihara Kagura's help. He felt that his two disciples, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, were quite suitable for training under Akihara Kagura. At least Uchiha Sasuke performed very well in this mission.

"Training Naruto?"

Uchiha Sasuke was interested and said: "If possible, I can help too. It's been a long time since I had a proper match with that guy..."

"Before that..."

Hatake Kakashi hesitated, unsure whether to do something: "Should we... tell Naruto about his lineage..."

Although it might not be the right time...

However, for a child who has never met their parents, there might never have been a notion of suitability or unsuitability; perhaps a bit of stability at this moment is more important.

Konoha's Third Training Ground.

"Naruto!"

Minato anxiously tried to give chase.

"Fourth Hokage."

Akihara Kagura stopped Minato's movement and suddenly gestured to a nearby Root ninja. "Sasuke, go have a good talk with Naruto. Don't let him do anything foolish, and you're permitted to reveal your identity."

"Understood..."

Uchiha Sasuke swiftly headed in the direction Uzumaki Naruto had gone.

In the past, he had been deeply consumed by the desire for revenge against Itachi and was utterly obsessed with gaining power. Uzumaki Naruto, that idiot, wanted to pull him out of the mire of vengeance, even risking his life to save him...

Now...

Is it his turn?

In Konoha Village.

On a park bench.

Uzumaki Naruto sat there silently, tears streaming down his face. He felt a mix of emotions and didn't know what to say or do.

Once, Uzumaki Naruto had admired the Fourth Hokage greatly; now, he despised him just as much!

That guy...

What right did he have to plant the Nine-Tails inside him?

All the suffering he'd endured since childhood was because of the Nine-Tails within him, and now that man, who claimed to be his father, told him it was all his doing!

That guy...

What right did he have to do that!

Is this something a father should do?

Did that man, who claimed to be his father, understand what kind of fate he was condemning his child to?

Sixteen years!

Sixteen whole years!

Uzumaki Naruto had almost forgotten how many misfortunes he'd endured because of his identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. No matter how hard he tried to live, he could never gain the recognition of others because of that identity!

"That idiot..."

The Root ninja wearing a cat-faced mask cursed softly and walked over to Naruto, handing him a cup of sweet pear juice he had bought.

"What are you doing here..."

Naruto's face still looked downcast.

"I'm here to tell you about the Fourth Hokage..."

The Root ninja extended the pear juice to him and spoke softly, "Many people know the hidden truth about this matter; perhaps you've heard some of it..."

"I don't want to hear it!"

Naruto swung his hand, intending to knock the pear juice away.

Naruto had initially had a good impression of this Root ninja who had protected them. Hearing him trying to speak for the man claiming to be his father now made him immediately resentful!

"Idiot!"

The Root ninja grabbed Naruto's wrist!

"You!"

Naruto retaliated, gripping the ninja's wrist and trying to fight back!

However, this Root ninja was extremely skilled. Seeing Naruto resisting, he pressed down on Naruto's wrist and kicked, knocking Naruto and the bench to the ground!

"Bastard!"

Naruto angrily fell backward to the ground!

A hint of disappointment appeared in the Root ninja's eyes, and he said coldly, "Uzumaki Naruto, since when did you start taking out your anger on innocent people..."

"Who are you really?"

Lying on the ground, Naruto glared at the Root ninja in fury, recalling something his former comrade Uchiha Sasuke had said: "You have no idea what I've been through, so what gives you the right to question me!"

"..."

The Root ninja was momentarily stunned.

Because he had said those very words to Naruto countless times in the past, never imagining that Naruto would one day use them against him...

"You idiot..."

The Root ninja sighed, shaking his head slowly. He extended his hand, removed his mask, revealing a face that seemed familiar to Naruto: "Shouldn't I know exactly what you've been through, you /Bleam
