In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"No! No!" Kakashi waved his hands quickly, his voice trembling with fear, afraid that Nohara Lin would misunderstand. "It's not a trouble, it's definitely not a trouble."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

"It's getting late now. I'll have someone prepare some information for you early tomorrow morning. Lin, you may need to go to Konoha Hospital for a comprehensive examination."

"I don't mean anything else, really, it's great that you're still alive!"

Kakashi's voice trembled as he spoke. Nohara Lin smiled sympathetically and stood on the edge of the chair, perhaps remembering something.

She took two steps forward, approaching Kakashi with a warm smile on her face. The distance between them was only half an arm's length, and she took a light step forward, giving Kakashi a virtual hug.

The voice was soft, as if to comfort him.

"Kakashi, I'm not dead. I just took a nap. You don't have to blame yourself too much. It was my own choice at that time, and it was also the duty of every Konoha ninja."

"I never regretted doing it. It was all for the village, my friends, and my family. I never resented you, Kakashi. You have always been my trusted companion."

"Neither I nor Obito have ever blamed you. Being assigned to the same team with you is the luckiest thing that has happened to me. After all these years, that's enough."

She placed her hands on Kakashi's shoulders and whispered soothing words.

"That's enough. Stop blaming yourself. Just think of it as a nightmare. Kakashi."

Chapter 482 Kakashi: I suspect you have an affair, but I have no evidence

Kakashi was completely stunned. His mind exploded, and the long-held wall of his heart shattered, plunging him into the warm bath.

His body trembled slightly, he uttered a syllable, and didn't know what to say.

"Just...a nightmare?"

"Yeah." Nohara Lin let go of him, put her hands behind her back, and her big brown eyes curved into crescents.

Those who knew Kakashi saw him as a moderate and peaceful person. Karin knew Kakashi had not always been a calm person, and his father's death had driven him to extremes, even harboring resentment.

This dissatisfaction and resentment caused Kakashi to become cold and paranoid. But as a companion, Lin knew better than anyone that Kakashi just couldn't get over it.

His coldness was directed both outward and inward.

When Naruto vaguely mentioned Kakashi's recent situation to her, Nohara Rin realized that she might have caused a huge psychological trauma to Kakashi.

When she saw Kakashi, his appearance made Nohara Lin even more convinced... Paranoid people don't let go so easily. Even though time has blurred the past, he has not let go of her.

Seeing the familiar and warm smile on Nohara Lin's face, the gray corner of Kakashi's heart seemed to have a glimmer of life, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist.

"Ahem." He sniffed and suppressed all his emotions.

The emotions he should have felt had been wiped out over the long twenty years. Even if he could recall the emotions he felt at that time, they were like the heart-wrenching despair of a sledgehammer chiseling a plaster wall.

Now he was left with a calm demeanor, though his hands were still a little trembling. While he was pleasantly surprised, a lingering fear remained in his heart, fearing that this was just an illusion that had lasted a long time.

When I woke up the next morning, Nohara Lin had disappeared like a bubble.

"It's too late now, and it's hard to arrange accommodation. Lin, why don't you rest here for a while? There's a special lounge in the office, and the bathroom is over there..."

"...Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

"Clothes... Oh, I don't have any change of clothes. I'll ask someone to buy you some new ones. What kind of clothes will you wear... You should eat first. Are you hungry?"

It’s not that there is no place to arrange accommodation. Although Konoha is called a village, its prosperity is no different from that of a market town. It is just inferior to the capital of the Land of Fire.

Kakashi wanted to stay with Nohara Lin and make sure she was safe before he could truly feel at ease.

Nohara Lin just smiled and didn't think too much about it. Seeing Kakashi busying around, looking at a loss, her heart gradually calmed down.

.......

After washing up, Naruto lay in the empty bedroom, staring blankly at the ceiling. He didn't think about Kakashi.

To be honest, he didn't care much about Kakashi's personal affairs. Even after Nohara Rin was resurrected, he only wanted to get rid of the hot potato in a reasonable way.

It wasn't his karma, so he didn't want to get involved at all. He just wanted to take revenge on Obito, and with Kakashi in the middle, he just took this opportunity to fool around.

The problems before him were much fewer now, and he had thought about them long ago. These troubles were not like work, which was never-ending.

On the contrary, every time he completes one task, there is one less problem. When he finishes all the tasks, there will be less chaos in the ninja world.

As long as he destroyed the Otsutsuki, the rest would be easy. By then, he would have the strength to compete with the Otsutsuki, and naturally he could walk sideways in the ninja world.

Directly warn the five major countries one by one, no fighting, no fighting, everyone caught will be killed.

Thinking of this, Naruto laughed.

The Mizukage, Tsuchikage, and Raikage all stayed put. As long as the world didn't explode, they'd just lie back and eat everything they'd never tasted before, in new and different ways.

Really----retirement life.

How about just going into seclusion? Anyway, with the Yellow Spring Gate, I can go wherever I want and hide somewhere unknown. There are also Ino and Hinata.

That's not right. He hasn't resolved the issue between Ino and Hinata yet, he's just postponing the conflict.

In the darkness, he sighed softly. Being able to deal with the five great nations didn't mean he could keep Ino and Hinata under control. Ultimately, these were two different things.

No matter how powerful he was outside, he had to be cautious when he saw them. It wasn't that he was being humble, but he just didn't want to make things difficult for them.

He also knew that he was a bad person and had a lot of romantic debts. The more time went by, the more he owed, like a bottomless hole he didn't know how to fill.

But he couldn't stop now. There was no point calling it a day in the middle of a performance. What he was doing now, well... he couldn't tell anyone else.

Things have to be done, and he can't just ignore it.

In general, he wasn't a good person. He was just an extraordinary person who did extraordinary things. He didn't have any extraordinary abilities. If he were a good person with a clear conscience, the grass around his grave would be three feet tall by now.

Saving the world isn't like making a movie; he's reluctant but forced to do it. This is the great terror between life and death, and there's no way there's no pressure, so he desperately drags others into it.

Since the Otsutsuki incident couldn't be discussed, and it was useless to discuss it, he decided to use another excuse to drag more people into it. He didn't want to handle it alone, that would be too stupid.

The further you go, the greater the pressure becomes.

He tossed and turned for half the night, unable to fall asleep. Dealing with Obito only made him more anxious. But Obito had already threatened someone he cared about, so he must die.

Next, he had to find a way to deal with the Otsutsuki. He came up with a Fallen Angel Plan, which was basically to use genetic technology to contaminate the Otsutsuki bloodline.

If ninjas are mixed-bloods, then Ōtsutsuki are pure-bloods. To contaminate a pure-blooded race is like dragging a godlike opponent down to their level.

The reason why the Otsutsuki are so powerful is because of the pure blood in their bodies. Instead of thinking about using the Otsutsuki, becoming the Otsutsuki, or surpassing the Otsutsuki, it is better to lower the purity of the other party.

The reason why the ninja world is in chaos is precisely because of the confusion of power and the emergence of hybrids with higher bloodlines. In addition, the chakra of the two sons of the Six Paths Sage is constantly reincarnated to maintain balance.

Ultimately, humans cannot control this power. Without a deep understanding of it, blindly pursuing it will only lead to the collapse of the world.

What Naruto has to do is to slow down the process, which is equivalent to a buffer zone. Instead of getting the power of the Otsutsuki to deal with the Otsutsuki, he pollutes them.

Even if humans still study Otsutsuki in the end, it has nothing to do with him. As long as he is alive, no one can get the power of Otsutsuki at will.

Research is one thing, but savage devouring is another.

As a time traveler, there was only so much he could do. The world was in chaos, and someone had to take up the sword, but Naruto wanted a less stressful way.

He doesn't want to be a sword bearer, he just wants to find a sword bearer.

Thinking about these troubles, he finally fell asleep in the middle of the night. When he woke up, he felt refreshed, leaving all his troubles behind yesterday.

Although he was under great pressure, he was not doing badly at all. Even if he was on the edge of a knife, he had a lot of money and a network of connections that he could flatter.

He has a lot of debts to pay, but none of them can hold him back. In the final analysis, he is straightforward in his actions, and he gives everything he should give if it is consensual.

Except for the sincerity, I have nothing missing.

While eating breakfast, Naruto took a moment to think about his thoughts and set his sights on the Kingdom of Wind. The Evil God's followers were almost done with their mission, with only three vacancies remaining.

He planned to go to the Kingdom of Wind to try his luck and meet Gaara, the Calabash Brothers. He was short of three supplies and didn't know where to find them in the world.

Although he was short of supplies, he wasn't so reckless as to resort to reckless tactics. He would usually target people who were useful to him but had no connection with him, and he wouldn't target anyone close to him.

.......

"Kakashi, that... person yesterday." She wanted to say the yellow-haired man, but held back, "His name is Uzumaki Naruto. Is he your disciple?"

The two were walking side by side on the streets of Konoha. There were relatively few people around early in the morning.

When he woke up early in the morning, the old man Kakashi leaned over the crack of the door and took a few glances. Seeing that the person was still there and it was not an illusion, he felt relieved and pretended to be calm.

I plan to take Nohara Rin to Konoha Hospital for a comprehensive checkup. This is her first time being resurrected, and I don't have much experience. If there's something missing inside her body, it will be troublesome to follow up.

After the inspection, there was an intelligence review to prevent spies and the like. As it involved the safety of the village, these were unavoidable, and Kakashi had explained this to Nohara Rin.

Although Kakashi knew better than anyone that the Nohara Rin in front of him was genuine, the matter was indeed bizarre, and even if he wanted to guarantee her, he would be opposed by the higher-ups.

Nohara Rin, a Konoha ninja, understood this. Although she was a little nervous because she had never experienced this before, Kakashi also promised to accompany her throughout the whole process.

How could the Sixth Hokage have so much time? What about work? Naturally, he pushed it to Shikamaru. Shikamaru, who had just arrived at work, could see the surprises on the two tables as soon as he opened the door.

He was thinking about how to facilitate the upload of Nohara Linxing's file, when he suddenly heard Nohara Lin say this. He couldn't help but look up and was stunned.

"Naruto? Yeah, yes."

After saying that, he asked curiously.

"Did he tell you that?"

"No." Nohara Lin shook her head. "Yesterday, all three of them called you teacher, but the last one's attitude was obviously different, um..."

"He...indeed, alas." Kakashi sighed, too embarrassed to mention his student.

One had defected from the village and was wandering the world, while the other had no sense of belonging to the village and was lucky not to turn against it. As for Sakura, she was close to Naruto.

Forget it, forget it. I've already failed as a teacher. Besides, my students have grown up, and it's their own choice as to how they choose to go in the future.

"He will be given a full body check-up later. You...don't have to worry too much. That person is my student." Kakashi scratched his face and added.

"Female student and disciple of Tsunade-sama."

"Tsunade-sama?" Nohara Rin looked surprised and turned to look at Kakashi. "Tsunade-sama will also accept disciples? Before... there was no chance at all."

"What happened in recent years, Lady Tsunade returned to the village and took over the position of Hokage..." Kakashi slowly recounted what had happened in the past twenty years.

Nohara Lin was fascinated by what she heard, and couldn't help but sigh. Time is truly a magical thing. Um...resurrection is also magical, and it can be terrifying if it's not handled properly.

"It's truly amazing to be Tsunade-sama's disciple," she sighed.

Kakashi glanced at her and thought to himself that after twenty years of sleep, Nohara Rin was still the same Nohara Rin. Thoughtful, kind, and sincere, just like always.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably say that they were very lucky to be Tsunade-sama's disciple.

It's not a big deal to single her out, after all, Tsunade-sama's strength and status are there. So many young geniuses have wanted to become her apprentice, but they've been unable to find one. It's no exaggeration to say she's lucky.

But Nohara Lin was talking about Sakura's strength, not her luck, and that was very comforting to hear. What was even more precious was that this wasn't some art of speaking, but her nature.

Kakashi remembered that the person she admired most was Tsunade, but there was war at that time.

"Yeah, that's pretty impressive," he agreed, coming back to his senses.

The two chatted intermittently, and soon they arrived at Konoha Hospital. It was already daylight. Nohara Lin looked up at Konoha Hospital and felt that it was a little strange.

"The previous one was demolished and moved here." Kakashi mentioned it and looked around. "This way, follow me in. No need to wait at the door."

Kakashi followed the nurse's advice and knocked on Haruno Sakura's office door. There was a response from inside, but unexpectedly, a yellow-haired man appeared.

Looking at the smiling face that appeared from the crack of the door, Kakashi's eyelids twitched several times.

"Naruto, why are you here?"

He had always thought that the two students had a strange relationship, and now they were blocking Naruto early in the morning. Kakashi was furious, thinking to himself, this guy is really...

"I guessed you were coming, so I came early." Naruto didn't tell the truth and opened the door.

Sakura stood inside the door, dressed neatly, smiling brightly as she greeted him.

"Good morning, Kakashi-sensei."

Then Haruno Sakura shifted her gaze to Nohara Lin and smiled even sweeter, the intimacy almost overflowing.

"This is Sister Lin, right?"

The girl was shy, and after all, she blushed when Sakura called her "sister" so sweetly. She nodded slightly in response. She looked up at the others, then lowered her head again in embarrassment.

Kakashi felt somewhat helpless. He had been calling his teacher as if he were an old man, and now he was calling Nohara Lin "Sister." Wasn't this a deliberate prank on him?

He was almost certain that Sakura had learned this trick from Naruto. This man was so evil, he only thought about these tricks without thinking about anything else.

"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense." Kakashi interrupted them, "I'm here for something, Sakura, give Lin a comprehensive checkup."

"Okay, Kakashi-sensei," Sakura agreed with a smile.

She had already heard the general course of events from Naruto, and his version was even more detailed than Kakashi's. Except for Obito's identity, he knew everything else.
