Chapter 128 Kakashi: I'm watching those two kids moving upwards, what are you looking at?
"I bought the young master his favorite beef noodles today.
I'm sure he'll love them and won't stop eating them."
Ebisu was carrying a package of ramen with a picture of Ichiraku Ramen on it, clearly indicating that he bought it from Ichiraku Ramen.
Incidentally, Konohamaru went to Ichiraku Ramen with Naruto.
"I don't know what's so great about that blond guy that makes the young master so infatuated."
Ebisu sighed and covered his head, imagining his young master constantly going outside the school to play with Naruto.
Judging by the time, it's about time for Konohamaru to go to the Ninja Academy.
Perhaps it's time to give him some theoretical lessons.
I hope he doesn't skip class...
As Ebisu pondered this, he walked back to the Hokage Building, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
Hmm, good, no sign of the young master.
? ? ?
No, what about my young master who's so old?
Ebisu's mouth fell to the ground, and his glasses wobbled.
He hurriedly turned around and walked around, trying to find his young master's location.
"Stop looking, Konohamaru went with Naruto to find the Third Hokage."
A slightly slacking voice came down from upstairs, and a white-haired man carrying a masterpiece by the legendary Toad Sage, one of the Three Sannin, slowly walked down.
"It's that blond guy again!"
Ebisu sighed helplessly, then thanked the white-haired man.
"Thanks, Kakashi. By the way, it's been several years since you left the Anbu."
Kakashi's eyelashes fluttered, then he closed the copy of "I Love Paradise" in his hand, his voice slightly languid.
"Hmm~ It's been about three or four years."
He stretched, squinted at the sunlight outside, and approached Ebisu.
"Honestly, you're such a young man, how come you retired when you were already holding the position of captain of the Dark Guard?"
Honestly, Kakashi is still young, just a bit down.
Three or four years ago, Kakashi was famous far and wide.
People from other ninja villages knew the name of Kakashi, the captain of Konoha's Anbu.
"Well, I just feel a little tired."
Kakashi shrugged.
Although the Anbu may seem impressive to outsiders, their work is actually very tough.
Various espionage missions, counter-espionage, assassinations, escort missions...
Kakashi had wanted to leave the company for a long time, but he was struggling to find a successor.
But now that Itachi and Tenzo have both grown up, there's no need to continue.
As time went by, Kakashi watched Tenzo, Itachi, and Izumi carry out their missions, feeling a mix of relief and a touch of sadness.
Perhaps, if Obito hadn't died back then, and Rin hadn't been sealed away with the Three-Tails, I might be in the same situation as them now.
Heh, never mind. With Obito's personality, there's no way he wouldn't join the Anbu.
And Rin is most likely going to the hospital.
A bitter smile played on Kakashi's lips, but it was well hidden by his mask.
"Oh, I see. Well, it's good to rest when you're tired."
Ebisu, being in the same grade as Guy, also knew about Kakashi's situation.
Therefore, when he saw the faint sadness in Kakashi's eyes, he naturally thought of the reason why Kakashi was tired.
"But aren't you going to be leading a new class of genin next?"
Putting aside the topic that had created a bad atmosphere, Ebisu brought up another topic.
White Fang nodded, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
"Last year, the third generation asked Guy and me to be teachers, but the students in my class did not gain my approval."
As his thoughts drifted back to this time about a year ago, a hint of regret flashed in Kakashi's eyes.
If those three kids were more united, I might have taken them under my wing for a year.
In this peaceful era, graduating genin will follow a jonin for a year to learn experience and transition before going on missions independently.
However, some Jonin choose to lead a class for a long time, basically intending to raise the kids as disciples and teach them real skills.
For example, Guy.
"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of Blood Eye White Fang, the requirements for accepting disciples are really high."
Ebisu made a joke, then asked Kakashi what was going on in his life today.
"Why are you at the Hokage Building today?
Shouldn't you usually run into Kuroneko on the street at this time?"
Kakashi smiled at Ebisu's teasing and then said.
"They are graduating students from this year's class.
The third generation called me over to discuss arranging a class for me."
Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Ebisu subtly raised an eyebrow, and the image of the blond-haired man reappeared in his mind.
"Naruto?"
"Yes, it's him."
Indeed, besides Naruto, who else would the Third Hokage specifically seek out Kakashi?
Even if the Third Hokage didn't approach Kakashi, Kakashi would probably approach the Third Hokage anyway, given that he has blond hair, the Rasengan, and the Uzumaki surname.
If Naruto isn't the Fourth Hokage's son, then who could be?
"By the way, haven't you gone to see Naruto at all in so long?"
Ebisu didn't say why, but both of them understood.
"Well... it's not that I haven't seen him before, but I always just glanced at him from afar before his sister spotted me."
Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes in exasperation.
That's why he said, kids are the most annoying thing.
(Karin: Look, that's a lone wolf!)
"Pfft...cough cough, sorry."
Ebisu knew who Naruto's sister was, after all, the news that Konoha had gained a red-haired girl was quite widespread.
Previously, the Grass Ninja Village had sent people to inquire about the situation, but Sarutobi had already taken care of everything perfectly.
Nonsense, even the Mito ancestors have spoken, so even if my back is bent, I must straighten it now.
"Go ahead and laugh."
Kakashi said helplessly, "To be honest, it's really embarrassing for a dignified captain of the Anbu to be discovered by a little girl from the Ninja Academy."
But after all, they are pure-blooded members of the Uzumaki clan, and their sensory abilities are incredibly strong.
Kakashi didn't try to hide his aura, so naturally, he was detected.
"By the way, how long has it been up there, young master?"
Ebisu steered the conversation to the main topic, explaining that he had been able to chat with Kakashi earlier because Konohamaru had gone to find the Third Hokage with Naruto, and he assumed nothing would happen to them.
"Hmm, maybe, perhaps they just went up there?"
Kakashi tilted his head, counted on his fingers, and then said.
? ? ?
Ebisu asked a question, then looked up, still confused.
No, the young master isn't on the stairs either!
Then, following Kakashi's gaze, Ebisu saw a tree with a long history outside the window.
A blond-haired creature and a ball of fluff are climbing up.
"Young Master!!!"
Ebisu hurriedly tried to save Konohamaru, but it was too late.
With the sound of shattering glass, Naruto, along with Konohamaru, stormed into the Hokage's office.
