After tidying up his appearance, Naruto slowed down his breathing, calmed his slightly agitated emotions, and walked towards the office.

dong dong dong-

There was a slow knock on the door.

Minato's gentle voice came from the office:
"Please come in!"

"Yes--" Naruto pushed open the door, then turned around and closed it, looking at Minato who was sitting behind the desk reviewing documents, his eyes fell on the other's golden hair that was the same as his.

"This is the document sent over by the mission team, Hokage!" Naruto respectfully placed the document on the desk. Minato suddenly looked up and glanced at Naruto, wanting to say something when there was another knock on the door.

dong dong dong-

Minato looked up at the door, "Come in!"

As the door opens.

Minato and Naruto discovered that the person who came was Kushina with a bulging belly. Except for the big belly, Kushina at this moment was no different from the future Kushina. She was equally beautiful and full of energy, with her long red hair being extremely eye-catching.

Behind Kushina, the young boy Kakashi followed her and upon learning that the master's wife was coming, Kakashi secretly escorted her to the office.

"You haven't come home so late today, you must not have eaten yet. Here, try the seafood sushi I made!"

Kushina stroked her belly with one hand and carried the food box with the other, walking slowly into the office.

Kakashi followed closely, fearing that anything might happen to his master's wife.

"Sorry, I'm too busy today." Minato hurriedly stood up, put down the scroll in his hand, walked towards Kushina, and helped her sit on the Hokage's seat.

Kakashi stared at Gang Zitie who was standing stiffly beside him while delivering documents, and his expression changed slightly.

The two are in the same class, but they seldom talk to each other in the ninja school. They get along better with Kakashi, Might Kai, Asuma, Hong and others, while they get along better with Gangzi, Tetsujin, Yue Kumochu, Shiranui, Genma, Yamashiro, Aoba and others.

Kakashi was almost on high alert at this point.

Kushina looked at everyone present, and smiled at the frozen Gang Zitie and the vigilant Kakashi, "Alright, alright, it's time to get off work at this time, everyone relax, come, I prepared a lot of sushi, Minato can't finish it all by himself, you can help him share some!"

Kakashi's cold expression suddenly disappeared due to Kushina's words.

Naruto's eyes suddenly turned red.

He probably knows.

On a quiet night like this, my mother would prepare a lot of food for my father, and even more for others.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Mother has a good reputation among the ninjas of the same period.

"Well, now that Lady Kushina has spoken, please give her a favor." Minato said happily, and as he spoke, he pushed all the scrolls on the desk aside and opened the lunch box. Immediately, the office was filled with the aroma of seafood and the fragrance of rice balls and seaweed.

"Hmm!" Naruto, who had transformed into Steel, laughed, "It smells so good!"

Kakashi nodded, and then skillfully took out three chairs from the side. It was obviously not the first time he had done this.

So, led by Minato, the three of them gathered around the desk and began to taste the sushi that was laid out.

Just a few people were eating.

I noticed that Gang Zitie's mouth corners were raised, his eyes were red, and there were two traces of tears. He was laughing and crying at the same time, which seemed particularly contradictory.

"Hmm, so delicious!" Naruto noticed that everyone was staring at him and praised with tears and laughter. After finishing eating, he picked up another piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

As if she was afraid that Minato and Kakashi would snatch it from him, Kushina looked confused, looked at Minato, and then looked at Gang Zitetsu who was crying from eating, "Minato, working under you, doesn't he usually have enough to eat?"

Minato didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How could that be?"

"I have to urge everyone to eat every day!" Kushina is very much like the head of the family, "You can only work after you are full!"

At this moment, Kakashi leaned over and said something in Minato's ear.

Hearing this, Minato's expression didn't change at all, and it was obvious that what he heard was not something important.

Minato glanced at his wife, Kakashi, and Tetsuo who was crying while eating sushi. He was surprised to find that Tetsuo, with a conflicted expression on his face, was also staring at him.

"Gulp..." Gang Zitie swallowed the sushi he was chewing, looked at Minato who was looking at him, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled: "It's really... delicious!"

Dimensional space.

Kakashi's expression froze, and he said with emotion: "Naruto has been exposed..."

Apparently it was the boy himself who informed on the matter.

After saying this.

He lamented.

If I were to replace Naruto, I might not do as well as Naruto!
Yinyue nodded and said, "He knows how to handle this situation, trust him!"

Kakashi nodded along, staring out into the world.

As Minato moved slightly, Naruto stood up on his own initiative and took a deep look at Kushina who was sitting in the Hokage's position, and Minato beside him.

Keng——

Kakashi's face showed a cold expression, and his right hand was already on the hilt of the White Fang Blade at his waist.

As long as the gangster beside him made any unusual movements, he was confident that he could kill the opponent instantly with his swordsmanship without his master's intervention.

Of course, they were also fearless because of the presence of their master, the Yellow Flash of Konoha.

In the entire ninja world, who could be faster than my master?
Young Kakashi's mind was in turmoil.

Naruto took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face, and reluctantly said: "Sorry, I really wanted to stay with you for a while longer, but the timing and time do not allow it. Sorry."

After saying that, he glanced at Nagato and Kakashi, his eyes instantly becoming solemn, without any hesitation, he released the transformation technique, supported himself on the desk with one hand, turned over and leaped towards Kushina.

The young Kakashi was stunned for a moment. Obviously, the speed that Naruto burst out was beyond his imagination.

fast!
too fast!
He was simply the fastest guy that young Kakashi had ever seen, except for his master.

Is this still steel?
Obviously not!

"..."

Minato's expression froze and he did not throw the Flying Thunder God Kunai. When Naruto passed by Kushina, he had already arrived in front of Kushina.

Apparently, he had already marked Kushina with the Flying Thunder God Mark, allowing her to teleport without the need for a kunai.

However, Minato thought that this young man with yellow hair and fox whiskers on his face would attack Kushina, but the other party just passed by him and Kushina.

As they passed each other, Minato could sense the reluctance and attachment in the other's eyes out of the corner of his eye.

"..."

Minato looked confused, but for some reason, he couldn't do anything to the young man.

Even if it means leaving him behind.

"..."

Kushina also read complex emotions from Naruto's blue eyes. For some reason, she suddenly felt pain in her heart, as if she was about to part with her closest person.

Naruto withdrew his gaze from his parents and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, regained his confidence, and crashed into the glass window at the back of the Hokage's office without any hesitation and at a speed as fast as an electric arc.

"Master!" Seeing that Minato did not make a move, Kakashi thought that the other party had controlled his master with special means. He immediately took a step forward and drew out the White Fang Blade worn at his waist.

But before Kakashi could make a move, Naruto had already jumped out through the gap in the window.

In order not to cause trouble to Yinyue and Minato, he didn't even break the window.

pat-

But Kakashi, who wanted to be quick, ignored all this and crashed directly into the glass window, soaring into the night sky, following Naruto's figure.

Under the moonlight, Naruto looked back in the air and saw the young teacher Kakashi chasing him through the window. The corners of his mouth curled up, "Kakashi, right? You are very famous in Konoha? What's the use of being famous? Let's compete to see who is faster!" The young Kakashi said after hearing this.

His expression was slightly tense, not that of being angry, but more determined to hold on to the other person's heart.

After a moment, Kakashi fell down and stopped steadily on the tree. He stepped on the branches and his figure passed through the woods like a shot kunai, chasing after Naruto's figure in front of him.

The two staged a game of speed and passion in the forest. Their figures drew two straight arcs under the moonlight, sometimes changing their shapes, sometimes turning sharply, the speed was so fast that it was jaw-dropping, but Kakashi tried his best and still couldn't catch up with Naruto.

In addition, Kakashi even had the feeling that the other party had been luring him, deliberately slowing down to give him the illusion that he could catch up with him.

...

In the Hokage's office.

Minato and Kushina looked at each other, looking at the movement in the forest outside the window, and fell into deep thought.

Kushina suddenly raised her hand to her heart, her face showing sadness, and whispered: "Minato, I suddenly feel so sad, my heart hurts so much!"

Minato came to Kushina, took her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, and our child is here too."

He thought Kushina might be suffering from prenatal depression and was thinking too much.

Kushina looked down at her pregnant belly and reached out to touch it gently, but her heart was still throbbing, uneasy, perturbed, and her thoughts were restless.

"Minato, who was that person just now?"

Kushina stared out the window.

"do not know."

"He... looks like you!"

"Yeah, a little bit."

"What happened?"

Kushina asked in confusion.

Minato sighed, "Before Kakashi arrived, he found Tetsuya himself sleeping in the hallway."

Kushina's eyes widened, "But when he came to the office, pretending to be Kojiro, he didn't attack me or you. He just kept eating sushi."

A nonsensical thought suddenly occurred to Minato, "Maybe the sushi you made... was so delicious that it moved him to tears."

Kushina rolled her eyes at Minato, "Do you think that's possible?"

Minato smiled awkwardly: "Of course..."

"Humph, Minato, you can tell lies now. It seems you have been led astray by teacher Jiraiya!"

"Haha, no way!" Minato said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Fortunately, the young Kakashi returned at this time. He was gasping for breath. Minato quickly handed Kakashi a glass of water.

Kakashi drank the water in one gulp, then panted and said, "He ran away, very fast, I can't catch up with him at all!"

Minato pondered, "Is the steel iron okay?"

Kakashi shook his head: "It's okay, I was just knocked unconscious by that guy, it's nothing serious."

"That's very strange." Minato was puzzled: "Why is he doing this?"

...

...

In the gate of space.

After running around Konoha at full speed for a few laps and taking a look at the young Kakashi, Naruto was exhausted.

Fortunately, Yin Yue's storage space had everything he needed. He grabbed a bottle of drink from the space and handed it to Naruto.

Naruto drank it all in one gulp, exhaled, looked up, and found that Kakashi was looking at him strangely behind Yin Yue.

Naruto felt a chill on his back and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Teacher Kakashi, why are you still here!"

He originally thought that his father should have sent Sensei Kakashi to the past world as well, so he wanted to tease the young Kakashi.

Unexpectedly, all his actions of provoking the young Kakashi were seen by Kakashi.

This is really embarrassing.

Kakashi looked at Yin Yue beside him, took a deep breath, and stared at Naruto: "Don't do this again next time, learn to give face to the teacher!"

"Ah, yes, yes!" Naruto scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"How is it?" Kakashi smiled, "Are you feeling better?"

Naruto nodded and said, "I don't know why, I was very sad at first, but after seeing them until now, I'm not that sad anymore."

"That's good!" Kakashi nodded.

Naruto looked at Yin Yue and said frankly: "I know that they lived so well before, as if they had been here forever. They also experienced their own lives. Although the ending was not good, there were many beautiful things left in the process."

"I'm glad you figured it out!" Yin Yue then looked at Kakashi, "Let's go, what about you? When do you plan to go?"

You have to know that Kakashi's parents are both dead, his master and relatives and friends have left him one by one, and some were even killed by him. These tragic pasts could even make him be voted the most miserable ninja in the ninja world.

In the original work, the young Sasuke could tell anyone that he didn't understand the pain of carrying hatred, but he couldn't tell Kakashi.

From another perspective.

The fact that Kakashi did not turn evil is a miracle for Konoha Village.

After listening to Yinyue’s question.

Kakashi was in a dilemma.

If he really had to go back to the past, Kakashi actually wanted to go back to the night his father committed suicide, and then do his best to modify that timeline.

But he knew that was certainly impossible.

Kakashi suddenly asked, "Master Yinyue, can you really change the timeline at will?"

He confirmed again.

Yinyue nodded and said, "Of course, but I will fix them after you change the timeline and we return to the real world."

Hearing this, Naruto sighed: "If I had known earlier, I would have gone to meet them!"

Yinyue shook her head and said, "When you showed up, the timeline had actually been modified, the only difference was a little bigger or a little smaller."

"Then... Sir, please take me to the night my father committed suicide!"

Kakashi took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and stared at the moon in front of him.

"Okay--" After Yinyue finished speaking, the scene in front of the three people had changed.

However, it was still Konoha outside, with a full moon hanging in the sky, but the timeline had changed.

The Hatake family.

quack--

Crows flew across the night sky.

In the cabin.

Hatake Sakumo knelt on the ground, his eyes as pale as the moonlight shining on the wooden board beside the bed. He numbly pulled out the short blade from behind and mechanically swung the blade at his abdomen, but suddenly his forearm got stuck and was blocked from behind. (End of this chapter)
