Chapter 381: Some Bad Future

"Naruto, what happened?" Yamato asked, looking at Naruto Uzumaki approaching him after extinguishing the flames.

He was also confused about the current situation; just moments ago he was fighting enemies in the ruins, and the next instant he appeared in a bustling town.

Naruto Uzumaki grinned, then pointed at Kakashi and said, "Captain Yamato, look who I ran into—Kakashi-sensei actually has a kid, and he's almost as old as Konohamaru."

"How could that be? Kakashi-senpai would never..." Yamato instinctively wanted to deny Naruto's words.

He had known Kakashi for so long—of course he knew Kakashi had always been single. But when he got a clear look at the boy Naruto was pointing at, he was instantly stunned.

There were too many of Naruto's shadow clones on the scene, plus the sea of fire and waves of water had seriously obstructed Yamato's vision. After looking carefully, Yamato realized that the boy Naruto was pointing at really did look just like Hatake Kakashi.

The same silver hair, the same black mask covering half his face, except there was no scar on his eye, and he didn't look like a dead fish—his eyes were lively. He was practically a younger version of Kakashi.

"And his surname is also Hatake," Naruto said with a grin.

In his mind, there was no need to think twice—this silver-haired boy was definitely Kakashi's son. He looked so much like him, and even shared his surname. What else could he be if not his son?

Yamato was momentarily speechless with surprise. If his surname was Hatake, then he was undoubtedly Kakashi's son; Hatake wasn't a common surname like Watanabe or Tanaka.

Clenched, clenched—Kakashi's fist was getting clenched.

Kakashi glared at Yamato and Naruto Uzumaki. For the first time, he had such a strong urge to punch someone. If he didn't think he couldn't win, he would have rushed over and given each of them a punch.

There was no need to mention Naruto Uzumaki's strength—he had just experienced it firsthand. His chakra was unfathomable, his body was strong, and he even had a powerful seal-less jutsu.

And Yamato had just released a water style technique like a tidal wave without forming hand seals—clearly he was also a formidable water style ninja.

As angry as Kakashi was, Obito now wanted to laugh just as much. It was way too amusing—first a student of Kakashi pops up, and now a junior of Kakashi.

But since they were in a fight, Obito was trying hard to hold back his laughter, only letting out a laugh when he couldn't help it.

"If he's Kakashi-senpai's son, then why were you fighting?" Yamato asked Naruto, puzzled.

"It's not like I wanted to pick on him—he started it," Naruto explained.

"I even showed him my ninja registration, but he insisted I wasn't a Konoha ninja, and then we fought."

Even if Hatake Kakashi found out later, Naruto believed he was in the right.

"Well..." Yamato's expression grew even more puzzled. He suspected Naruto had omitted some important details—how could they fight over something like that?

As for not recognizing Naruto Uzumaki, Yamato didn't think much of it. Although Naruto was fairly well-known in Konoha, not everyone knew him.

For example, he had known Kakashi for over ten years and didn't know Kakashi had a son.

"Naruto might not be the best at explaining things, so let me handle the communication. I'm Yamato, a jonin of Konoha. This is my ninja registration," Yamato said, taking his ID from his ninja tool pouch and showing it to Kakashi.

"What do you mean I'm not good at talking?" Naruto complained, annoyed. It wasn't his fault just now.

Yamato temporarily ignored Naruto's complaints and carefully observed Obito and the other two, watching their reactions.

Hearing Yamato's words, Kakashi's gaze sharpened as he looked at the ID Yamato was holding.

The first thing he looked at was the ninja registration number—as expected, it was still absurd.

This self-proclaimed Konoha jonin Yamato had a ninja registration number starting with 0. If he was a Konoha ninja with that number, he would have to have graduated in the same year as Obito.

Less than a year after graduation, jumping straight from genin to jonin—even brainless ninja novels wouldn't write that. If he weren't outmatched and needed to stall for time until Muyue arrived, Kakashi would have already started mocking him.

"What do we do now?" Since Yamato and Naruto weren't attacking, Obito deactivated the Flame Breathing chakra mode, walked over to Kakashi, and asked quietly.

He wasn't actually stupid—given the situation, they probably couldn't win.

Rin Nohara also walked over and looked at Kakashi.

Although there was no clearly designated leader in the team, Kakashi usually made the decisions in situations like this.

"Don't say too much; adapt based on what I say," Kakashi said calmly, exhaling.

Fighting again was out of the question. What Kakashi needed to do now was wait for Muyue.

"Yeah, no problem. Hello, Jonin Yamato. The earlier incident was a misunderstanding," Kakashi said, tossing Naruto's ninja registration back to him.

Since the other side wanted to pretend to be Konoha ninja, Kakashi would play along and lead them to meet Muyue.

Kakashi didn't believe that these two ninja could be stronger than the A-B combo of Kumogakure.

"What gives? Captain Yamato's works, but mine doesn't?" Naruto said, looking back and forth between his own ninja registration and Yamato's, not seeing any difference.

Yamato smiled and nodded, putting the ID away.

"You two are chasing a ninja named Hundred Legs, right? Coincidentally, I heard our captain mention that name before. How about I take you to meet our captain, as compensation for the earlier misunderstanding." Kakashi said with a sincere look, then put on the Konoha headband from his ninja tool pouch.

"Teacher Muyue, when..." Obito was about to ask why he hadn't heard of this, then noticed Kakashi's look and immediately shut up.

He somewhat admired Kakashi; he lied without blinking an eye, making it look completely real.

"That would be great then." Yamato smiled and nodded.

He had initially thought about checking Obito's ID as well, but the white-haired boy looked and dressed like Kakashi, and also had a Konoha headband; the Fire Release ninjutsu Obito used was also a well-known powerful Fire Release of Konoha, so their identities were definitely fine.

It wasn't like the era of the previous ninja world war; the villages wouldn't have nothing better to do than carry out that many espionage activities.

"By the way, what's your name?" Yamato couldn't control the curiosity rising in his heart.

If he didn't think it was presumptuous, he would have directly asked who Kakashi's mother was.

"Hatake Obito." Kakashi said without changing his expression.

Since the other side was using his name to mock him, he would just go along with it; after all, the ultimate goal was to stall for time.

Hearing Kakashi's words, Obito was dumbfounded, staring at Kakashi in confusion. Kakashi called himself Obito, so what was he supposed to be called? Uchiha Kakashi?

Well, whatever; he had become a substitute.

"So his name is Obito. Kakashi-senpai really kept it well hidden." Yamato said with emotion.

He was really curious about the story behind it. He couldn't imagine that Kakashi-senpai already had such a big son, given how he usually acted...

Kakashi's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help clenching his fists. The feeling of being teased and unable to fight back was too unpleasant.

Obito also looked displeased, because he realized he was at a disadvantage; from that perspective, wasn't it saying Obito was Kakashi's son?

"Damn Kakashi, was this also part of your calculations?" Obito cursed inwardly.

Yamato's gaze towards Kakashi grew more and more kind.

"By the way, who is your captain?" Yamato asked casually.

"Hanyū Muyue, but unlike you, Yamato-jōnin, Captain Muyue is a tokubetsu jōnin." Kakashi answered quickly.

Muyue was different from Minato. If it were Minato here, Kakashi would have directly given a false name, because Minato had made a name for himself in the ninja world war.

However, to avoid alerting the other side, Kakashi lied about Muyue's ninja rank, saying Muyue was just a tokubetsu jōnin; he didn't even say Muyue was their teacher, just that he was their captain.

Yamato smiled and indicated without speaking, because he didn't recognize the tokubetsu jōnin Kakashi mentioned.

Because he had previously been either in Root or in Anbu, Yamato's social circle was relatively small, and he didn't know many ninja.

Seeing that the two sides had already communicated to this extent, the hidden Shadow Clone of Muyue notified the original, then had the original come to handle it.

If he didn't come soon, it would seem a bit too late.

Swish!

Upon receiving the notification, Muyue's original immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport beside Kakashi and the others.

A person suddenly appearing beside him made Yamato instinctively step back two paces. Only after noticing the Konoha ninja uniform on the other did he not take further action.

"Teacher Muyue, these two are unknown individuals disguised as Konoha ninja." Seeing Muyue arrive, Kakashi quickly explained the situation to Muyue.

"The anti-counterfeiting technology of our Konoha ninja IDs may have been leaked. Although the content of their IDs has obvious errors, other aspects are consistent with normal IDs."

Obito and Nohara Rin also stood beside Muyue, looking warily at Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato.

"What's going on here?" Naruto scratched his head, a bit confused about what was happening.

"Obito, what are you doing?" Yamato looked at Kakashi with a puzzled expression.

How could his Anbu captain's ninja ID be fake? How did they become unknown individuals disguised as Konoha ninja?

And weren't they talking about information on Hundred Legs? How did it suddenly become like this?

Yamato felt that Kakashi's son was as unpredictable as Kakashi himself.

"I understand. Step back, I'll deal with them." Muyue nodded and told his students to retreat to a safe position.

Although Muyue was very clear about the cause and effect, from his students' perspective he didn't know, so he had to act a little.

"At a time like this, you're still pretending? I am Kakashi Hatake." Kakashi said coldly.

The constant teasing along the way had made Kakashi very angry. He was genuinely furious now.

However, Kakashi's plain statement was astonishing to Yamato and Naruto Uzumaki. It gave them the déjà vu of a friend's son solemnly reciting his father's name and claiming to be him.

"If you're Kakashi-sensei, then I'm the Sixth Hokage," Naruto Uzumaki retorted.

No matter how blurry his vision was, he wouldn't mistake a white-haired teenager for his thirty-year-old teacher.

At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki glanced at Muyue beside Kakashi and suddenly felt that Muyue looked somewhat familiar.

"That ninja with the dumb look wearing an orange tracksuit has a lot of chakra; he can create hundreds of Shadow Clones in one go. The other one, who looks a bit slow, is good at Water Release and should be much stronger than an average jonin." Kakashi quickly listed the known intel on Yamato and Naruto Uzumaki.

He had confidence in Muyue's strength, but since he had information, he might as well share it to make Muyue's victory easier—that counted as doing his part.

"Dumb look? Bastard, even if you're Kakashi-sensei's son, I'll beat you crying!" Naruto, feeling deeply insulted, rolled up his sleeves and said through gritted teeth.

"Looks slow?" Yamato felt a bit hurt. Did he really look slow?

Kakashi remained expressionless. He definitely wasn't getting back at Naruto and Yamato for what they had done earlier—he was just stating facts.

"Is there some misunderstanding?" Yamato said, holding Naruto back.

He wasn't afraid of a fight, but he didn't want to fight a fellow Konoha ninja over a trivial matter. No matter who got hurt, it wouldn't be good for Konoha.

"If you really don't believe us, you can contact the Fifth Hokage. Our mission was personally assigned by the Fifth Hokage." Yamato said.

Now even Rin Nohara couldn't hold back. What the hell was the Fifth Hokage? Had this man lost his mind? Konoha's Hokage had only reached the Third Hokage so far.

Instead, a thoughtful look appeared on Kakashi's face. If earlier remarks were meant to provoke him, what did "Fifth Hokage" mean now? A curse for Konoha's Hokage to die young?

"Sorry, but your words make you seem even stranger. Konoha's Hokage has only been passed down to the Third Hokage." Muyue reminded tactfully.

Hearing Muyue's words, both Yamato and Naruto Uzumaki stood frozen in place.

"But Lord Hokage was at the Chunin Exams..." Naruto looked at Muyue in confusion.

And Yamato connected Kakashi's and Muyue's words with the drastic changes in the surrounding environment, and a terrifying conjecture emerged in his mind—they had traveled through time and space.

The reason that white-haired teenager looked so much like Kakashi was not because he was Kakashi's son, but because he was Kakashi as a child!

And the reason Kakashi thought their ninja ID cards were fake was probably due to the ninja registration numbers. More than ten years ago, Konoha's current ninja numbering might not have even reached the numbers on their cards.

After figuring this out, Yamato finally understood why Kakashi was angry. If one day someone inexplicably claimed to be his own son, Yamato wouldn't be happy either.

"Could he be the future Fourth Hokage? No, the Fourth Hokage's name is Minato Namikaze, and he didn't wear glasses." Yamato almost mistook Muyue for the Fourth Hokage from a memorial photo.

But after thinking carefully, Yamato felt they just looked alike. Kakashi had mentioned Muyue's name before.

Yamato wanted to say something, but then Muyue rushed at him, forcing Yamato to give up explaining.

"Traveling through time and space is indeed incredible. I'll explain properly after I defeat him," Yamato thought.

This matter was simply too bizarre. Yamato felt that even if he directly told them, the Konoha ninja opposite wouldn't believe it.

"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"

As chakra erupted from Yamato's body, multiple wooden vine branches extended from his arm and surged toward Muyue.

"Wood Release?!" Kakashi stared in shock at the thick branches extending from Yamato's arm.

Although Konoha had no Wood Release users after Hashirama Senju's death, every Konoha ninja knew Wood Release. The First Hokage may have died, but he still lived on in textbooks, and many who knew the feats of the God of Shinobi were still alive.

In the hearts of Konoha people, Wood Release was the strongest Kekkei Genkai. Nothing—not the Sharingan, Byakugan, Ice Release, or Magnet Release—could compare to Wood Release. Wood Release was invincible.

"So this is Wood Release? Doesn't look that strong," Obito said, stroking his chin.

He had imagined Wood Release to be more spectacular—using one jutsu to create a small forest or something.

Obito thought it would be very convenient if one of them mastered Wood Release. Then they wouldn't have to keep relocating to train in the Forest of Death; they could just create new trees after destroying them.

"Could they really be Konoha ninja?" Rin Nohara couldn't help but think.

With Wood Release appearing, the fake IDs became irrelevant.

Facing the oncoming thick branches, Muyue didn't retreat. Instead, he concentrated power into the palm of his right hand, then burst forth chakra in a chopping motion, slashing at the incoming branches.

Bang!

Under Mu Yue's powerful force, the four branches that came attacking all shattered and fell to the ground.

"Such strong power." Yamato looked at Mu Yue in surprise.

The wood created by Wood Style is different from ordinary trees; it is not only harder but also has the special effect of absorbing chakra. Mu Yue was actually able to easily break Wood Style ninjutsu, which shows how strong his power is.

"Captain Yamato, leave this to me." Naruto burst forth chakra and quickly formed hand seals.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, several dozen more Shadow Clones of Naruto appeared on the field.

"Leaf Dragon God!"

Before Naruto's Shadow Clones could begin their attack, Mu Yue directly gathered power and performed the Leaf Dragon God. To avoid drawing too much attention, Mu Yue deliberately controlled the size of the Leaf Dragon God.

Under the powerful onslaught of the Leaf Dragon God, all of Naruto's Shadow Clones were instantly dispersed, and even Naruto's original body was sent flying.

After clearing the Shadow Clones, Mu Yue canceled the Leaf Dragon God. This taijutsu is very convenient for clearing out minor enemies, but if he really tried to use force, the commotion would be huge.

Yamato helplessly rubbed his forehead, then his expression became more serious as he began forming hand seals again.

He had been worried about hurting Mu Yue earlier, so he hadn't used his full strength. Given Mu Yue's performance now, he really had to go all out.

"Wood Style: Thorn Kill Technique!"

As Yamato completed his hand seals, thick vines and wooden strips emerged from underground, reaching out to grab Mu Yue.

Mu Yue did not dodge; instead, he threw three Flying Thunder God Kunai towards Yamato and Naruto.

When throwing the kunai, Mu Yue used no special technique or ninjutsu—he simply threw them normally, so they were easily dodged by Naruto and Yamato as they sidestepped.

At this moment, Yamato's Wood Style vines and strips entangled Mu Yue's body, about to bind him.

"We won." Yamato thought the battle was over.

Swoosh!

In the next instant, Yamato suddenly found Mu Yue disappearing before his eyes, and a tremendous force struck from behind.

"Captain Yamato, watch your back!" Naruto shouted.

But by the time Naruto shouted, it was already too late. Before Naruto and Yamato could react, Mu Yue had already made his move.

Bang!

A dull impact sound rang out as Yamato's body forcefully made intimate contact with the ground.

"Could it be that Kakashi-senpai lied to me again? Maybe the name he told me was also fake." Yamato thought gloomily.

Anyone who knows a little about the Fourth Hokage knows that his best ninjutsu is the Flying Thunder God Technique.

He looks so much like the Hokage Rock face, and his Flying Thunder God is this strong—if this isn't the Fourth Hokage, then who could it be?

Thinking this way, Yamato felt much better. Losing to the future Fourth Hokage wasn't a big deal; this was the future Hokage.

"Damn it!" Seeing Yamato knocked down, Naruto's blood surged instantly. The massive chakra inside his body exploded, he formed a Rasengan, and rushed straight at Mu Yue at top speed.

Watching the approaching Naruto, Mu Yue didn't make many moves; he simply took out a kunai marked with the Flying Thunder God seal.

The moment Naruto got close to Mu Yue, Mu Yue threw the Flying Thunder God Kunai and immediately performed the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport.

Swoosh!

Naruto suddenly saw stars, and was shocked to find that no one was in front of him. His Rasengan had completely hit empty air.

"How did he do that? He was that fast?" The speed Mu Yue displayed was beyond Naruto's understanding.

This wasn't even a question of seeing clearly or not—he hadn't even seen how Mu Yue moved.

Bang!

The next moment, a terrifying force came, and Naruto lay down beside Yamato.

Kakashi looked at Mu Yue in surprise. He wasn't surprised that Mu Yue could defeat Naruto and Yamato—that was within his expectations. Kakashi was surprised at the Flying Thunder God that Mu Yue had displayed.

According to Mu Yue, he had learned it from Minato Namikaze not long ago, but Kakashi felt that Mu Yue's proficiency with the Flying Thunder God was nothing like a beginner's; it seemed almost as good as Minato's.

Kakashi gained a new understanding of Mu Yue's terrifying ninja talent.

Actually, in Kakashi's heart, Mu Yue was the most talented ninja, capable of developing incredible secret techniques like the Breathing Method and Armament Haki before the age of twenty.

Combined with the completeness of the Breathing Method, Kakashi had reason to believe that Mu Yue had developed it before he was sixteen.

If Mu Yue continued like this, Kakashi felt that Mu Yue's achievements in ninjutsu would surely surpass those of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

"As expected of Mu Yue-sensei, such a powerful Flying Thunder God Technique!" Watching Mu Yue effortlessly defeat a ninja they couldn't overcome with Flying Thunder God, Obito showed an extremely excited expression.

Because Mu Yue had said before that he would later teach him the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Obito had already started fantasizing about pulling off similar cool moves with Flying Thunder God in the future.

"Ptooey, ptooey." The tenacious Uzumaki Naruto spat out the dirt in his mouth and quickly stood up, ready to continue fighting.

"Naruto, don't attack anymore." Yamato also sat up quickly and pulled Naruto back.

"We've time-traveled to the past, and he's likely the Fourth Hokage. There's no need to fight him over this misunderstanding." Yamato said in an extremely low voice.

He felt there was really no point in continuing the fight; no matter who got injured, it would be a loss for Konoha.

"I knew he looked familiar—he's the Fourth Hokage on the Hokage Rock," Naruto said with a look of sudden realization.

"Big bro, could you take off your glasses?" Naruto said in a familiar, easygoing manner, as if he had forgotten they were in the middle of a battle.

Mu Yue did not activate his Byakugan, so he granted Naruto's wish, took off his glasses, and put them into his ninja tool pouch.

Naruto's eyes immediately lit up, and he slapped his fist into his palm. "That's exactly how he looks! So you're the Fourth Hokage, big bro."

Yamato covered his face. He had spoken quietly precisely to avoid revealing future events, but Naruto had just blurted it out loudly, making his earlier effort to control his volume seem completely useless.

Revealing future events could affect history, and besides, saying something like that when the office only went as far as the Third Hokage really sounded like a provocation.

"They're not patients who escaped from some mental hospital, are they?" Obito couldn't help saying.

Naruto's words had already made Obito start to suspect whether he had a mental illness.

Obito had no doubt that Mu Yue was capable of becoming Hokage — after all, he was the all-powerful Sage Mu Yue — but Konoha didn't even have a Fourth Hokage yet.

"Could you two be ninjas who traveled through time from the future?" Kakashi connected Yamato's and Uzumaki Naruto's words, actions, and battle style, then asked in surprise.

At first, he had thought Yamato and Uzumaki Naruto were messing with him, but now that he thought about it carefully, neither of them had ever shown any killing intent, and they had held back throughout the fight. They never seemed very eager to fight, acting nothing like enemies.

But if Yamato and Uzumaki Naruto were ninjas from the future, all their oddities could be explained — whether it was their ninja registration numbers or their words and actions.

The reason they thought he was their father was because they knew a future version of Kakashi. In their era, the Third Hokage had already died, and the title of Hokage had passed to the Fifth Hokage.

Although this conclusion was bizarre, there were only two possibilities: either Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato were insane, or they were ninjas who had traveled from the future to the past.

Because Yamato could use Wood Release, Kakashi leaned toward the latter.

"As expected of Kakashi-senpai," Yamato couldn't help praising.

Although Kakashi liked to bully people, Yamato had to admit that Kakashi was highly capable.

Kakashi's expression twisted a little. A ninja in his twenties calling him — a ninja less than ten years old — 'senpai' felt incredibly strange, with way too strong a sarcastic tone.

"Kakashi, is your brain broken too?" Obito looked at Kakashi with concern. He had never heard of mental illness being contagious.

Although time travel was a common plot in novels, how could it be possible in reality? Wouldn't the world have long been in chaos?

"Mu Yue-sensei, it's like this..." Kakashi temporarily ignored Obito and explained his conjecture to Mu Yue.

"Could you please show me your ninja identification?" Mu Yue said to Uzumaki Naruto and Yamato with a gentle smile.

Yamato and Uzumaki Naruto both handed over their identification without hesitation.

"It's completely genuine, except for the information on it," Mu Yue said with a nod.

"I once served as an Anbu captain. If you're still not convinced, we can cross-check with Konoha's classified information," Yamato then said to Mu Yue.

Yamato's words made Kakashi look at him differently. A captain was a high-ranking member of the Anbu; only three people were above a captain: the Commander, the Deputy Commander, and the current Hokage.

Mu Yue didn't refuse. He stepped aside and chatted briefly with Yamato, then announced the final conclusion.

"They are indeed Konoha ninja, but Konoha ninja from the future."

Then Mu Yue apologized with a look of regret for having attacked them just now.

"It's fine. After all, from your perspective, we really did seem suspicious," Yamato said understandingly.

"Naruto, have you ever heard of a powerful ninja named Obito?" Obito asked Uzumaki Naruto excitedly.

The future Anbu captain actually had to call Kakashi his senior? With Kakashi being so unambitious, if even he was like that, then wouldn't he become Hokage? Could it be that the Fifth Hokage was him?

"Obito? No impression." Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head and said.

"How could you not have heard of him? Think carefully, full name Uchiha Obito, uses Sharingan, great Fire Release, and might even know Flying Thunder God." Obito was a bit anxious. How could he be so much worse off than Kakashi that even his name hadn't been heard?

Hearing Obito's words, Naruto fell silent for a moment.

At that time, the Uchiha clan had been wiped out, leaving only Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke.

"Then what about Might Guy?" Obito asked unwillingly.

"Super bushy eyebrows teacher! His taijutsu is amazing." Uzumaki Naruto answered honestly.

"That nickname really fits Guy, but why don't you know me?" Obito was very unwilling.

Yamato looked at Obito's expression and wanted to say something. He was thinking whether to tell Obito the cruel truth, and whether this would change history.

"What about Rin Nohara?" Kakashi, who was watching, suddenly asked.

He originally didn't want to ask about the future. In Kakashi's view, if the future was known in advance, life would lose some of its fun.

But Yamato's expression and Uzumaki Naruto's answer made Kakashi guess a bad possibility.

"No." Uzumaki Naruto shook his head and replied.

Kakashi's heart sank. He knew him and Might Guy, but didn't know Obito and Rin Nohara. Setting aside the possibility that the three of them had broken ties, given Obito and Rin's current behavior, they would definitely become excellent jōnin in the future. So that could only be...

Kakashi dared not think further.

"Maybe in the future I'll be a doctor in the hospital. It's normal to have no fame." Rin Nohara said softly, but her smile was not as natural as usual.

She didn't have Kakashi's exceptional intelligence, but she was quite sensitive. Naruto's words revealed too much information.

"Then what about Asuma?" Obito prepared to ask about each of his close friends one by one.

After Obito said the name Asuma, both Naruto and Yamato's faces darkened.

To them, Asuma's funeral was still a recent memory.

For Uzumaki Naruto, Asuma was the teacher who taught him Wind Release nature transformation. For Yamato, Asuma was a senior with whom he could drink and confide. So both of them felt bad.

Seeing Naruto and Yamato show such expressions, even Obito sensed something was wrong.
