Chapter 513

"No, I have to find a way to leave Konoha. I heard Yamato is already hospitalized; I can't go and keep him company!"

Thinking of this, Kakashi immediately looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was acting as Hokage, with a firm gaze and said:

"Lord Third Hokage, I would like to apply for an 'S'-rank mission to leave the village and cultivate for a while!"

"Denied!!"

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could speak, Tsunade immediately interrupted him:

"The village is in a state of panic right now. Kakashi, as the Sixth Hokage, how can you leave at a time like this?"

Tsunade knew Kakashi's goal very well.

But at the same time, she also knew that if Kakashi left now, she would have to bear all of this alone when Minato returned.

As the saying goes, 'better a friend dies than I,' so no matter what, she had to keep this culprit here to take primary responsibility.

Perhaps out of fear that Kakashi would find a chance to run away, the usually lazy Tsunade actually did something unprecedented and said to the Third Hokage:

"Teacher Sarutobi, you aren't young anymore, and the work of the Hokage is so heavy; why don't you leave it to me for the time being!"

"No, don't, please don't!!"

Seeing that Tsunade wasn't giving him any way out, Kakashi panicked!

He desperately tried to signal Sarutobi Hiruzen with his eyes!

"Very well, then I'll trouble you with it."

But the other party acted as if he hadn't seen it at all, and after very happily handing the work over to Tsunade, he left!

"......"

Kakashi watched with longing eyes as the Third Hokage left the office.

At this moment, he felt as wilted as a frost-bitten eggplant!

"As expected of Kushina-nee, that temper is still as explosive as ever!"

In this world where Naruto was, Hatake Kakashi was embedded entirely into the ceiling!

Yet, strangely, his mood felt much lighter at this moment.

"Are you dead yet? If not, hurry up and get down!"

Seeing that Hatake Kakashi hadn't moved for a long time, Kushina couldn't help but say.

"Oh my, oh my, it's been a long time since I've been hit like this; my body really couldn't react in time."

Hatake Kakashi jumped down from the ceiling, then rubbed the back of his head with his right hand and said!

"Get lost, fix the broken parts by tomorrow, otherwise, you know the consequences!"

After punching Hatake Kakashi, Kushina's mood had clearly improved quite a bit.

"Yes, understood! But I hope I can have someone help me!"

Hatake Kakashi said with a smile:

"That person is good at repairing houses, and he was even planning to lock Naruto up back then."

"Fine!"

Kushina nodded without hesitation!

Ever since he met Minato, Kushina, and Obito, Hatake Kakashi's heart had actually been very conflicted!

He didn't know if these people were the same ones he was familiar with in his mind.

But after officially interacting with them, those worries of Hatake Kakashi had gradually disappeared.

And at this moment, Yamato, who was just at Naruto's house, suddenly felt an inexplicable malice!

Perhaps he never imagined that his senior would sell him out like this.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you all should head back first! We'll meet again tomorrow at the Valley of the End!"

Seeing that the time was about right, Minato started shooing people away!

Everyone was very sensible and left one after another!

"Alright, there are too many of us, and we can't all fit here, so let's go to my previous home first. Obito!"

After everyone left, Minato went with them to his former home.

Then they each took their own rooms and went to sleep!

The night passed just like that.

The next day, at noon, near the Valley of the End, almost all the ninjas had gathered here!

Onoki, Ai, Terumi Mei, Gaara, Tsunade, Hatake Kakashi, and other high-ranking officials of the Five Great Nations were basically all there!

Besides them, the Shrine Maiden Shion of the Land of Demons, Princess Fuka Koyuki of the Land of Snow, Princess Haruna of the Vegetable Country, Nadeshiko Shizuka of Nadeshiko Village, and others from other countries were also present!

Even the Masked Man of Akatsuki, Yakushi Kabuto, and Uchiha Sasuke were hiding somewhere, watching quietly!

"Yo, Naruto, you're here!"

As soon as they saw Uzumaki Naruto appear, Haruno Sakura and the others immediately went to greet him!

"Uh, uh, why are there so many people here?"

Looking at the Valley of the End packed with people, Uzumaki Naruto was a bit stunned.

"We all came to watch you; you are my strongest knight, you can't lose, okay!"

Fuka Koyuki walked over and said with a smile!

"Hmph, Naruto won't lose!"

Shion walked over, quietly separated Naruto from the others, and then smiled at Naruto:

"Long time no see, Naruto!"

"Long time no see, Shion! You came too?"

Uzumaki Naruto revealed a brilliant smile and responded!

"Not just her, I'm here too!"

Princess Haruna forced her way through the crowd, walked up to Naruto, and said:

"I never thought Konoha would treat you like this! Don't worry, after this great battle, you'll come back to the Vegetable Country with me. I guarantee that no one there will be able to hurt you!"

"Hmph, Naruto should be coming to our Nadeshiko Village instead!"

Nadeshiko Shizuka suddenly appeared in front of Naruto!
