Chapter 20 Kakashi Again (Ch 20)

“Give me two grilled squids and one octopus meatball.”

In the snack street, Ino said to Naruto sheepishly: “I’m sorry, Naruto, I still need you to treat me to food. I will return the money to you next time I go to school.”

Naruto didn’t care at all after ordering the food.

“It’s okay. Dad hasn’t had time to spend with me lately. He gave me a lot of pocket money, but I can’t spend it all.”

“Ha ha.”

Naruto’s words resonated with Ino, and she said angrily, “My father is the same. He has been very busy lately and always comes home very late.”

“Here, little boy, your squid is ready, and your octopus balls.”

“Thanks, uncle.”

Naruto took the things, handed a string of squid to Ino, and started eating the octopus balls first.

“Oh, it’s so hot.”

As soon as he ate one, Naruto opened his mouth and fanned himself. Ino couldn’t help laughing and said, “Ha, Naruto, you don’t have a cat’s tongue, do you?”

Cat tongue refers to people who can’t eat hot food. Naruto thought about it and said seriously: “Maybe, for very hot food, I only accept ramen. However, this octopus ball is really hot.”

“I heard that men with cat tongues are especially reliable.”

Naruto scratched his head: “Why is this different from what I heard? The version I heard was that men with cat tongues are unreliable.”

“Hehe, but Naruto you are very powerful. You are like an adult, nothing can stop you.”

Ino’s words made Naruto very happy. He said happily: “Oh, keep a low profile.”

Next, Ino and Naruto each finished the squid skewers and shared the box of octopus balls. Naruto gave the squid skewers an 8, the skewers were big enough and the sauce was fragrant. There were no disadvantages except the price.

As for the octopus balls, Naruto can only give them a score of 5. The octopus inside was too small, it was like eating a flour ball, and it had no taste.

“Ah, they sell oden over there.”

“Hey, I must eat this.”

After a quick tour of the food court, Naruto sent Ino home. She had disappeared for the entire morning, so she had to go home and report the news.

“Goodbye, Naruto. It was fun being with you today. I’ll pay you back for those snacks.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Remember to tell Auntie for me. The meal she cooked last time was delicious.”

“Haha, I’ll tell mom.”

After Ino returned home, Naruto lifted his legs and jumped onto the roof of the building again. He found a cool place to lie down and prepare to take a nap to digest his food.

The breeze blew across Naruto’s cheeks, and Naruto, who felt itchy on his face, opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a silver hedgehog head, teasing him with a dogtail grass that he had pulled out from somewhere.

“Ah, it’s Uncle Kakashi.”

“Uncle?”

There was a hint of helplessness in Kakashi’s sleepy eyes.

“I’m not that old yet.”

Noticing the tone of his voice, Naruto quickly looked him up and down. His lazy temperament immediately confirmed that this was Kakashi from the normal world.

“It’s you again. How many times have you come here?”

Naruto’s words surprised Kakashi a little, and there was a probing look in his eyes.

“Naruto, you little brat, what on earth are you……”

But then he waved his hand and gave up on further investigation.

“Forget it. It’s rare for me to come here. I don’t want to think about anything too tiring.”

Then, he also leaned over and lay down lazily, taking up most of Naruto’s seat.

“Hey, hey, other Uncle Kakashi, it’s not polite of you to do this.”

“Call me brother, don’t you know how to call me brother?”

As he spoke, Kakashi raised his hand and rubbed Naruto’s head. Just as Naruto was about to get angry, Kakashi spoke up: “This is my second time in this village. The Konoha Village where I live is basically the same as yours, but there are also many differences.”

“That day, I had no idea what happened. I came and left inexplicably. It was the same today.”

“By the way, it’s so lively here today, is there some festival going on?”

Naruto nodded and replied, “Of course. Today is the opening ceremony of the festival. Next, there will be the Chunin Exams held with the Hidden Mist Village.”

Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly at Naruto’s words.

“And the Hidden Mist Village? As expected, the two villages are very different.”

What went wrong? Kakashi didn’t think too much, closed his eyes, and let the breeze blow through his hair. After an unknown amount of time, a clear child’s voice came.

“Hey, there’s someone here?”

Hearing the voice, Naruto looked up and saw Zabuza in casual clothes and a pretty child following him.

“Zabuza-sensei, I think I woke them up.”

“Then go up and apologize to them, Bai.”

As the two approached, Kakashi opened his eyes. Zabuza suddenly stopped. He could feel that the silver-haired man in front of him had a terrifying aura. He was very dangerous and murderous.

Naruto glanced at Kakashi, and Naruto could sense the strong murderous aura on him. Then, Kakashi seemed to realize something, and quickly put away his murderous intent, and smiled at Zabuza, “Sorry, sorry, I’m a little grumpy when I wake up.”

Looking at Kakashi’s narrowed eyes, Zabuza would not believe a word he said. But there was nothing he could do. This was someone else’s territory, someone else’s ninja village. Even if he was threatened by Kakashi nakedly, he had to bear it.

So, he said with a dark face: “It’s okay, we are the ones who should apologize.”

“I’m sorry for disturbing your sleep.”

The beautiful child bowed to Naruto, and Naruto’s face instantly showed interest.

“Wow, your skin is very white. What’s your name?”

“His name is Bai.”

Sure enough, Zabuza’s words confirmed Naruto’s guess. This child was Bai, who would be more beautiful than a woman when he grew up.

Bai noticed Naruto’s choice of words and knew that he thought of him as a boy, and he seemed very happy. Although he was still young, he had been mistaken for a girl many times.

“Hello, I’m Bai, can we be friends? Your blonde hair looks like the sun.”

“Sure, my name is Uzumaki Naruto.”

Naruto said, raising an eyebrow.

“Are you Zabuza’s disciple?”

“Well, I just became the teacher’s disciple not long ago.”

Bai’s words made Kakashi look at him with a higher opinion. He suddenly interrupted and said, “Zabuza Momochi is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist Village.”

Kakashi doesn’t have a good impression of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist Village. First of all, the Mist Village was once the target of Konoha’s war, and the two sides had a lot of blood feuds in the Ninja World War. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were the cause of Kai’s father’s death.

Gai’s father, Might Dai, was once a Genin of Konoha. During the Third Ninja World War, the first group of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village surrounded the young Might Gai, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu. At the critical moment, Dai arrived in time, and with the awareness of death, he opened the Death Gate of the “Eight Gates of Dunjia” and fought against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, allowing Gai and the other two to retreat.

However, Dai himself died due to the side effects of the Eight Gates. It can be said that Kakashi himself did not have a good face for this master from the Hidden Mist Village.

Zabuza was also staring at Kakashi. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable seeing this white-haired guy.

“Before calling someone else’s name, it’s basic courtesy to say your own name first, right?”

As the atmosphere between the two grew tense, Naruto quickly spoke up, “Hey, aren’t you two going to fight on a day like this?”

Bai was very excited.

“Okay, Mr. Zabuza, since I came to Konoha Village, I have not seen the ninjutsu of the Konoha ninja. The Mizukage once said that without fighting, there is no growth.”

Hearing his words, Naruto frowned. He realized that the Shiro in front of him was different from the one in the original world. Compared to the kind-hearted Shiro in the original world, the one in front of him was a belligerent Shiro.

Kakashi and Zabuza stared at each other for a while, and finally, they both took a step back in tacit understanding. Although they both disliked each other, ninjas would not engage in meaningless battles.

“That child hasn’t become a ninja yet.”

Zabuza narrowed his eyes and replied, “He has only just started learning ninjutsu, but he is very talented. If the Chunin Exams continue, he will come to Konoha to take part in them.”

Kakashi didn’t respond to Zabuza’s words. He turned around, shrugged, and said to Naruto: “Let’s go, Naruto. There’s nothing good to stay here.”

“oh.”

As the two left, Zabuza also said to Bai beside him: “Bai, what do you think of that yellow-haired kid just now?”

“Hmm~”

Bai hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

“I don’t feel that he has any bloodline limit. But there is something else about him that attracts me.”

Hearing Bai’s words, Zabuza looked deeply in the direction where the two left. Bai has a very strong Ice Release Bloodline Genkai. In addition, he has a special perception ability that can sense the existence of other people’s Bloodline Genkai. This ability has been confirmed by the Mizukage.

Therefore, Zabuza’s mission is to take Bai around Konoha Village to see what Konoha’s future talents are like. You know, although the current peace is hard-won, the Hidden Mist Village will never give up its vigilance against Konoha.

Besides, Kirigakure has spent countless resources for this Chunin Exam. If they don’t take some of it back from other places, the village will suffer a great loss. Konoha opened its doors to give you the opportunity to collect intelligence.

Anyway, I’ve let you in. How much you can collect depends entirely on your own ability.

“What confidence! This is Konoha.”

Konoha’s confidence is that no matter how much you investigate, you won’t find anything. There is no other way, who let Konoha Village now have the Uchiha clan? My brother is still the leader of the five major ninja villages!

“Sir Zabuza, with Mizukage-sama here, our village will be better off!”

“Um.”

Bai’s words were so firm in tone, just like what Zabuza was thinking.
