"It's not impossible to say it that way." Naruto explained the cause of the matter to Kakashi, the surveillance mission, well, it could indeed be regarded as coming to see him on purpose.
"So you're saying you were hiding there for nearly half an hour, but I couldn't find you?" Kakashi felt that even if he wasn't that vigilant in the village, he shouldn't have been unable to find him for so long. Naruto had indeed grown up?
Naruto said with great regret, "Yeah, it's a pity that it fell short in the end. Why did you have to practice that move when you had no stamina left?"
"Haha, sorry." Because he ruined Naruto's test, Kakashi smiled apologetically and said, "I wanted to try to break through the limit."
Naruto carried Kakashi slowly down the mountain, jostling him up a bit and said, "That's too reckless, running out of Chakra can kill people."
Kakashi squinted his eyes and retorted, "You're the only one in all of Konoha who's not qualified to say that, a person who uses hundreds of Shadow Clones to cultivate every day."
Naruto was not convinced: "Why am I not qualified? I may be reckless, but I've never run out of Chakra!"
"..." That hit the spot. Although this kid had lost consciousness due to cultivation, it was basically because he was bombarded by a large amount of cultivation experience, memories, and fatigue from the clones.
He had never really fallen to the ground because of insufficient Chakra. Besides, he wasn't a normal ninja to begin with.
Seeing that Kakashi didn't speak, Naruto also realized that what he said might be a bit annoying, so he took the initiative to 'think of a way' for Kakashi:
"Why don't you take on a C-Rank Mission again someday, and we'll try to snatch Samehada? That thing can be used as a power bank. You can store some Chakra in it usually, and you can take it out at any time during battle. It's perfect for you."
"Stop playing with the C-Rank Mission meme, I'm too lazy to complain." Kakashi said helplessly, "Besides, our whole class are Jonin, it's against the rules to take on C-Rank Missions."
...It seems that's true. Special Jonin also get Jonin treatment. The three Naruto, Sa, and Sakura brothers can basically become full members as long as they accumulate enough experience.
An elite squad composed of four Jonin would be a waste to take on B-Rank Missions, no wonder they have been doing mostly A-Rank Missions for the past six months.
Naruto sighed like the Third Hokage when he mentioned Konohamaru: "Sigh, they really don't let people worry."
Kakashi seemed to have snatched Tenten's script, and retorted weakly: "Hey, hey, I'm the teacher, what's with you looking like you're worried about your juniors?"
Naruto complained: "You still know you're a teacher? Next time, you carry me home, the mountain road is difficult to walk, okay?"
"Yes, yes~" Kakashi perfunctorily replied, he was very good at perfunctory replies - he learned it from Guy.
Because he hadn't chatted and argued with Kakashi alone for a long time, Naruto wasn't in a hurry to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to hurry on his way, but carried him back step by step.
Along the way, Naruto suddenly felt that he didn't have to use the Flying Thunder God to hurry on his way at the slightest thing, as if he was afraid of wasting any second.
It would be nice to go out with Old Dad in the morning like today, and walk slowly through the streets and alleys of Konoha together.
It would be nice to go home with Kakashi like this now, and walk slowly through the mountain roads and forests near Konoha together.
Did Jiraiya not let me use the Flying Thunder God to hurry on my way at the earliest time, also considering this aspect?
My life shouldn't only be about cultivation and dating, there should also be many people who care about me, and people I care about.
I've been so busy recently, it seems like I've been neglecting them?
The atmosphere at home this morning, Old Dad was actually a little angry, right?
It's a good thing he could adjust so quickly, and he even tried to enlighten me...
"Naruto..."
"Naruto?" Kakashi called out again and again.
"Ah? What's wrong, Kakashi Sensei?" Naruto finally heard Kakashi's voice and turned to look at him.
"It's not what's wrong with me, it's what's wrong with you." Kakashi said helplessly, "While you were spacing out and giggling, my face got hit by branches seven times."
"Oh, oh, sorry!" Naruto thought for a moment, then asked as if to confirm, "How many times did you say just now?"
"Seven times." Kakashi had a bad feeling.
"Oh." Naruto spotted a branch at a suitable height and walked over with a mischievous grin.
Pa!
Kakashi was hit again, collapsing as he said, "What do you want now?"
"I was thinking, since you're going to raise eight dogs, you might like the number eight more." Naruto chuckled at first, then asked with a bit of disappointment, "Where did you buy this mask? The quality is so good? It didn't even get scratched after eight times."
"..." Kakashi struggled to lift his head and looked in the direction of the Hokage Building, Teacher, your disciple is unfilial, I want to send your son a Kamui.
...
Kakashi ultimately couldn't bring himself to take Naruto down with him, and Naruto didn't know he had missed a Kamui Dimension entry ticket.
At this moment, he was standing at a crossroads, facing the question of looking left, right, and forward, representing Kakashi's house, Naruto's house, and the Hospital, respectively.
Ignoring Kakashi's suggestion to go back to his own house to lie down, he decided to send him to the Hospital. He wasn't an Uzumaki, so he probably couldn't just sleep it off.
Naruto casually advised, "Better safe than sorry, you're Konoha's unshakeable pillar, the sea-supporting golden beam, we can't afford for anything to happen to you."
Kakashi rolled his eyes: "Why didn't you say that when you were messing with me just now?"
"Don't worry about the details, at least I caught you quickly enough." Naruto didn't see Kakashi's eye roll, and wouldn't have cared even if he had, afraid that his future days would be numbered if he offended the Byakugan.
At the Hospital entrance, Naruto sensed around first. Tsunade's location was probably near the Izakaya, it seemed she had gone back to drown her sorrows after being lectured.
Then there was no need to worry about getting beaten up for the time being. Naruto carried Kakashi straight to the director's office, where Shizune and Sakura were both present.
"Kakashi?"
"Naruto? Kakashi Sensei?"
"Puyou?"
Naruto walked closer: "You're all here? Quickly help Kakashi Sensei take a look, his Chakra is over-depleted, don't let it leave any lasting damage."
In fact, without Naruto saying anything, Shizune was already helping Kakashi with the examination.
The green light on her hands scanned Kakashi up and down, and Shizune finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked seriously, "Do you feel any decline in your Sharingan's vision?"
"Yes, it's a side effect of the special ability." Actually, after Sakura examined Itachi during their last mission together, Kakashi was mentally prepared.
He had also paid special attention to this aspect after using Kamui, and the only solution he could think of was to avoid using Kamui unless absolutely necessary in the future.
Shizune nodded, seeing Kakashi's appearance, this was probably unavoidable normal damage: "Come with me, I'll arrange a ward for you."
Kakashi weakly said, "Actually, I think I can just rest at home, there's no need to go to so much trouble..."
"I'm the medical ninja, listen to me." On this issue, Shizune was unexpectedly firm.
Kakashi looked at Sakura for help.
Sakura stuck out her tongue: "I think Shizune Onee-san is right."
"I think Sakura Bro is right," Naruto chimed in.
Kakashi, feeling 'abandoned by all,' had no choice but to accept his fate.
Thanks to the fact that the Hospital wasn't too crowded and Kakashi had enough clout, plus Shizune had high enough permissions, they directly arranged a private room.
Watching Shizune meticulously arrange the bedding and busying herself, Naruto couldn't help but feel she was being overly enthusiastic. There was something fishy about these two.
Hmm, since I've got nothing better to do, I'll find a way to test them out later.
