Chapter 57 New Kakashi Class
Chapter 57 New Kakashi Class
A pair of warm hands patted Gaara's shoulders. The remaining consciousness of Naruto as a child overlapped with the person in front of him. Gaara turned around and looked at him in a daze.
"Gaara" Naruto looked at Gaara with trembling eyes, as if he had countless words to say
"Naruto... this is..." Gaara just stared at Naruto blankly. There were people all around them. Gaara couldn't tell what he felt.
"Are you okay, Gaara-sama?" That was Gaara's first student. Gaara didn't come to his senses and just nodded stupidly.
"Great!" Everyone around cheered.
The people who were worried about Gaara and the people who cried with joy were deeply engraved in Gaara's mind at this moment. It was a kind of warmth from the bottom of his heart.
"It makes me worry so much." Naruto smiled reluctantly. This moment touched Naruto's heart. He was sincerely happy for Gaara. At this moment, Gaara was recognized by others. Naruto was really happy.
"That's right, my brother who always makes me worry." Kankuro walked forward with concern in his eyes.
"What are you doing? You are so arrogant. Gaara is the Kazekage. Don't be so arrogant. You Genin..." Temari started bickering and pushed Naruto away the next moment, but looked at Gaara with concern. "Gaara, how do you feel?"
"Thank you Naruto" Kankuro said beside Naruto
"No, it's not me you should thank, but your mother-in-law. She used a powerful ninjutsu to save Gaara, and now she's asleep. When we get to the village..." Naruto was interrupted by Kanjiro.
"No... Grandma Chiyo actually used that ninjutsu" Kankuro was silent
Naruto looked at most of the people around him and Kakashi, who still had a sad face, and asked, "What ninjutsu?"
"That's not a ninjutsu, it's a reincarnation ninjutsu. Grandma Chiyo is dead." Kankuro said, with sadness in his eyes, "It's a ninjutsu that can revive the dead with his own life."
Naruto's eyes widened in shock, is this... the price Xiaorou mentioned?
"The Sand Ninjas once wanted to develop a ninjutsu that could give puppets life. Chiyo was in charge. The technique had been developed in theory, but the risk was too great. Before human experiments were conducted, it was designated as a forbidden technique and sealed."
Naruto stood up blankly, thinking back to what his grandmother said to him. That was her last wish.
"As expected, Naruto, you have the power to change others. Granny Chiyo always said that the future of the village didn't matter to her. She wasn't someone who would make such a sacrifice for Gaara." Temari said, looking into Naruto's eyes
"Granny Chiyo entrusted the future to Gaara and you." Kakashi added, "As a ninja, it was an outstanding end to your life."
"I can understand grandma's feelings now." Naruto said, looking in the direction of grandma Chiyo.
Gaara refused his help and tried to stand up. A warm hand rested on his arm. It was Naruto. Gaara looked at Naruto, stood up with Naruto's help and agreed to look at Granny Chiyo. "Everyone, please pray for Granny Chiyo."
Everyone closed their eyes and mourned for Chiyo
…………
Everyone finally returned to the Sand Village, and almost everyone came out to welcome Gaara's return.
"It's really spectacular," Xiaorou exclaimed while supporting Kakashi
"As expected of the Kazekage," Ningci sighed as he watched the scene.
After a day of rest, it was time to say goodbye. Xiaorou placed the flowers she had prepared in front of the grave. That was the grave of Grandma Chiyo. Everyone prayed for Grandma Chiyo again.
"Naruto Sakura, it's time to go," Li called out to the two people still in front of the tomb, and Naruto agreed and followed.
Sakura gently stroked the tombstone and just as promised, she paused in front of the tomb with her little finger, a smile on her face.
Thank you, Chiyo
"Summoning Technique" Xiaorou summoned Xiao again, this time they were going to return to Konoha quickly
As everyone left, Naruto faced Gaara and the two looked at each other.
"Generally speaking, we should shake hands or something when we say goodbye." Naruto lowered his head a little embarrassed, stretched out his hand and scratched his cheek, "Well, I'm not used to this, so let's do this..."
Naruto paused, and Gaara had already extended his hand. Gaara looked at Naruto, and if it weren't for him, he would still be wandering in confusion. The breeze blew their hair, and the sand rolled around Naruto's hand, as if telling him something.
Naruto looked at Gaara in surprise. This was undoubtedly Gaara's recognition of himself. Naruto raised his hand along with the sand and held Gaara's hand.
Xiaorou quietly filmed the scene. Everyone jumped onto Xiao's back. Xiaorou was about to leave when a pair of hands grabbed the corner of her clothes.
"Hey, photos..." Gaara hesitated.
"I'll deliver it to you when it's done." Xiaorou smiled and waved to Gaara, "Goodbye."
……
"Here again" Kakashi woke up in the hospital bed
"Awake!" Kakashi first saw Xiaorou eating an apple next to him. Xiaorou mumbled, "It's okay now, Master, you're going to lie here for a long time."
"Thank you for your hard work, Kakashi." The door was pushed open and Tsunade walked in.
"Master," Sakura said quickly.
"Tsunade-sama" Kakashi tried to get up, but severe pain spread throughout his body, preventing him from getting up and moving.
"Master, don't force it," Xiaorou said, and met Naruto's sneaky gaze. The two of them hit it off and tried to look at Kakashi's face sneakily, and at the same time met Sakura's angry gaze. Naruto scratched the back of his head awkwardly. Xiaorou took another bite of the apple guiltily, and didn't listen to what Tsunade said at all. Sakura caught up with Tsunade and left.
Xiaorou picked up an apple and threw it to Naruto. The two of them ate the apple and amused Kakashi.
"That's my consolation gift..." Kakashi said weakly, and the two of them just grinned with success.
"Kakashi-sensei can't eat it anyway," Xiaorou stuck out her tongue and smiled.
"I can't do anything about you guys." Kakashi also smiled with his eyes curved
Then the two of them walked out of the ward holding the apple.
"Here" Xiaorou pointed in a direction, and the two of them stood on the roof secretly and listened to the conversation between Tsunade and Shizune below.
"Why not send another team to check out the situation? As a second best option, we can also let Sakura go with them. But Naruto must be excluded." Shizune said.
"Shizune, Sakura is just like you. She is one of the few I can trust. This mission must be assigned to Kakashi's team that Sakura is in. Sakura, Naruto, and Rou are desperately searching for their former ally Sasuke." Tsunade looked up. "They want to rescue Sasuke more than anyone else. That desire will lead the mission to success. So you are different from Sakura."
"What would Naruto say after hearing our conversation?"
Shizune looked up at Tsunade's gaze.
"Let's go find new members right away." Naruto stood on the rooftop and looked at the people below.
"Yo" Xiaorou squatted on the railing and greeted with an apple
The two jumped off the rooftop and Naruto brushed past a few people "Then I'll go first."
"Really, that impatient guy." Tsunade said, looking at Xiaorou, "You have to keep an eye on Naruto."
"But why do we need teammates? We can just find a teacher to lead the team," Xiaorou asked curiously.
"Ah, this... Actually it was arranged by the higher-ups." One was chosen by the Anbu, and one was sent from the Root. There had to be two of them. There was no other way. However, they had always been a five-man team. Tsunade recalled the request from the higher-ups and felt a little headache.
"…Is that so?" Xiaorou nodded. As expected, the plot cannot be violated.
"Go to the master. There's no need for you here, right?" Hinata's voice echoed in his mind.
"Soon," Xiaorou thought of Hinata's intermittent memories over the past two years, and some of them were still confused.
'Yeah' Hinata's personality has changed a lot, he talks less and becomes more awkward
"Then I'll go first," Xiaorou said to Tsunade and left first
Xiaorou returned home. Her parents took her to check if she was injured. After showing her tender concern, Jingjing and Hinata sorted out their memories. Orochimaru didn't teach her much, but each of them could be said to have powerful ninjutsu or forbidden techniques.
"It will take a long time to master it." Xiaorou couldn't help but sigh. Orochimaru is also a real person. It seems that he really regards himself as his disciple.
"Baby, I'm asking you to gather." Xiaorou's mother knocked on the door.
"Mom, can you comb my hair for me?" Xiaorou hugged her mother's waist and acted coquettishly, "Otherwise I will have to go on another mission, okay?"
"Okay, okay, I can't do anything about you." Hinata Yuko helplessly picked up the comb and rubbed Xiaorou's head to comb Xiaorou's hair and tied her hair beautifully.
"Mom, where's Dad?" Xiaorou looked into her mother's eyes and asked, "I'll go talk to Dad."
"Study" Hinata Yuko stood there blankly, spitting out two words with a dull look in her eyes
The moment Xiaorou closed the door, a magic circle rose up under her feet. Hinata Yuko stood there with dull eyes, like a doll.
Xiaorou knocked on the study door. Hinata Nitta smiled when she saw her baby daughter. Xiaorou hugged her father and felt a little reluctant. The next moment, the magic circle was activated and Hinata Nitta was frozen and unable to move.
"Can't bear to leave?" Hinata walked out from the corner and made a seal with his hands, "Don't let them get involved."
"Yeah." Xiaorou nodded and left her father's arms. Looking at her father, the formation under her feet was constantly shrinking.
"...protect...yourself" Xiaorou heard her father's admonition as she stepped out of the house. He seemed to know what would happen next, but he still admonished his baby.
Until I saw Xiaorou's tearful smile and the words "I love you", my eyes began to glaze over.
"No, all your traces have been erased." Hinata threw a scroll to Xiaorou, which contained traces of their life at home since they were young. "I thought you had no feelings for them."
Xiaorou did not answer. She slowly packed her things, looked back at home, and then walked towards the gathering point.
"We are going to be partners now, so stop quarreling all the time." When Xiaorou arrived, Sakura stopped Naruto and said
"But I also think you're weird." Sakura looked at the fake-smiling boy in front of her, "You'll be disliked by others if you do this."
"Is that so? I quite like ugly girls like you who are sensitive." Sai said with a smile, which made Sakura furious.
"What did you say?" Sakura was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Yamato.
"What did you just say to Naruto? Do you remember?" Yamato grabbed Sakura. This team looks difficult to deal with.
"Teacher?" Xiaorou leaned lazily against the tree. "The captain this time is actually a teacher?"
"Ah, Xiaorou" Yamato looked at the girl who had been training with him for a long time. She was indeed from Kakashi's class.
"Do you know each other?" Sakura asked curiously.
"Yeah, I've trained under Master Tian... for a long time." Xiaorou saw Yamato staring at her strangely and quickly shut up. Since he was leading the team, he must have a code name. She remembered that she should call him Captain Yamato now.
"Anyway, the five of us will start the mission right away. I really want to say this, but what's wrong with you? You don't even have time to get acquainted." Yamato looked at the four people in front of him. Xiaorou and Kakashi had a lazy and unmotivated temperament. Naruto and Sakura were still arguing about what happened just now. Sai was excluded. "Okay, introduce yourselves."
"Tsk, Uzumaki Naruto"
"Haruno Sakura"
The two looked at Sai unhappily.
"I am Sai" Sai still had a smile on his face as if nothing had happened
