Chapter 134 When will you be willing to come see me, Nai Luo? (Ch 134)

Bai Zetsu asked curiously: “Aren’t you also an Uchiha?”

“Yeah,” Naraku nodded as a matter of course, “So ‘I’ am also an idiot.”

White Zetsu, who was not very smart to begin with, was a little confused, but after being slapped on the head by Naraku, his eyes immediately became clear again, and he decisively ignored the things he didn’t understand.

“What is Hatake Kakashi doing lately?”

“Jin, do you care about him?”

These words were full of gloating, and Naraku glanced at Bai Zetsu expressionlessly, and the latter swallowed his laughter obediently.

Although Bai Zetsu didn’t feel any pain, it was quite boring to have his limbs broken off bit by bit and then roasted over fire.

“That guy is absent-minded all day long. He seems to be dying of overwork. If you want to kill him, you’d better act quickly.”

“So he would also feel sad about the death of ‘Idiot’?” Naraku’s eyes hidden in the shadows revealed a complex expression, but he sneered coldly: “How unexpected.”

Alas, these are all debts.

He scratched his head helplessly in his heart, thinking that he had to find an opportunity to release “Naraku” as soon as possible.

…

From the day he received the news of Naraku’s death, Kakashi completely broke free from control.

When he sobered up, he immediately realized how ridiculous and full of loopholes the rumors about his father’s “suicide” were. However, he was affected by the illusion as soon as he returned to the village, and believed them without thinking.

The moment he secretly found the medical records in the hospital and confirmed that his father’s injuries were entirely caused by others, regret and despair tore at his heart day and night, almost turning him into a puppet.

When Kakashi thought about what he had said and done to Naraku after his father was murdered, he wished he could dig out his heart and pierce it with a kunai.

But every time he was about to do so, hatred would maintain the last bit of his rationality, not allowing him to die so miserably, telling him that he must become stronger, forcing him to survive, to live for Naraku, and to live for his father.

Until the day when the mastermind behind all this is found and Naraku and his father are avenged.

Before that, he had no right to die.

Minato was worried about Kakashi, so he came to talk to him and found that the previous abnormalities seemed to have disappeared.

Kakashi would feel pain when he thought of Naraku, but he would no longer avoid him or deliberately distance himself from him. He would admit with tears that Naraku was his best friend and mutter to himself through gritted teeth: One day, one day…!

Minato realized something was wrong and asked what had happened before and why Kakashi behaved strangely during that time, but he learned a truth from him that made him feel horrified.

Kakashi was once controlled by an illusion.

Minato believed that Kakashi would never lie, and that was why he felt confused and horrified.

Kushina had tried so many times before, but hadn’t been able to sense any clues from Kakashi. Until now, the illusion hadn’t left any trace, which showed how terrifying the caster was.

It is unknown who did it, and what his purpose was is also unclear.

The sun was shining outside, but Minato felt a chill, as if something was lurking in Konoha, hiding in a corner invisible to everyone, exuding malice towards the world.

Suppressing these feelings temporarily, Minato looked into Kakashi’s red eyes and finally understood what his teacher had said.

[People can lose opportunities again and again, but they cannot just pass by or miss them. ]

Kakashi, who was caught in an illusion, was destined to miss Naraku.

From then on, Kakashi became more taciturn and kept to himself. Even Minato and Kushina could not win his heart.

When asked how he was doing, his answer was always “fine” and a tired but polite smile.

Just like Naraku used to be.

Minato saw that this was not a solution, and he was also afraid that the recent rumors among the upper echelons about the cause of Uchiha Naraku’s death would reach Kakashi’s ears, causing him to do something irreversible, so he thought about it day and night and finally came up with a solution.

He ran to Jiraiya and asked his teacher to take Kakashi out of the village to train for a while.

Jiraiya thought about it for a moment and agreed. After all, he traveled around the Land of Fire all year round to collect materials, and had plenty of free time to take care of his old friend’s son.

Moreover, Uchiha Fugaku had made multiple accusations at high-level meetings, and even though Jiraiya had not attended, he had heard about it. He was planning to go out and look for the whereabouts of that “Shicun Tan” in the next few days and get to the bottom of the matter.

Now that Toad Immortal knows about this, those who harmed their companions should forget about it and get away with it. It’s impossible!

However, the purpose of leaving the village was to track down the murderer. After some discussion, the master and disciple reached a consensus that they had to keep it a secret from Kakashi for the time being and wait until Zhicun was found.

Otherwise, Kakashi might be blinded by the flames of hatred. If he becomes irrational and attracts the attention of certain people, no one will be able to save him.

Jiraiya, one of the three great ninjas, wanted to take Kakashi out of the village for training. Kakashi, who was eager to become stronger, had no reason to refuse, so he simply packed up and set off.

An old man and a young man, with different thoughts in their minds, set out on the same journey together.

During the journey, Kakashi was very worry-free in terms of personality. He was sensible, independent, and even often took care of the nervous Jiraiya. He was as precocious as Minato.

But when it comes to training, he is really too hardworking, no less than the legendary Might father and son. Jiraiya is even afraid that he will train himself to death someday.

Every time I tried to persuade Kakashi not to push himself like this, he would show a stubborn expression, but then he would lower his head and adjust his leggings over and over again as if to escape.

Jiraiya knew that the child was suffering too much and could only feel better through self-abuse training.

He had no other choice, so he went to Myoboku Mountain and asked Gama Sage for some medicated oil, and asked Kakashi to apply it on him every night before going to bed.

Every time when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Kakashi would still feel a dull pain in his body even after applying the medicated oil, and he would have trouble falling asleep.

At this time, he would look at the moon in the sky, or look at the stars, and pray that Naraku would come to his dream tonight so that he could feel some remaining warmth from the extinguished fire.

…

In a jungle in the northern part of the Fire Country.

Kakashi once again woke up from his chaotic dream and sighed in disappointment.

I didn’t dream about Naraku again.

–When will you come to see me, Naraku?

–Are you unwilling to forgive me?

…
