Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Chapter 88 Entrustment

After a short break, Kakashi and Naruto walked out of the cabin.

"Naruto, remember the Shadow Clone Technique that I taught you before?"

"Of course I remember! I have been practicing this by myself for a long time, and now I am skilled in using it!"

"Oh? Is that the case? Then show me your progress."

"Okay!"

Naruto starts to form hand seals and he then loudly shouted: "Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Puff!", another identical Naruto appeared next to Naruto.

"Hey Shiro Nii-chan, look, it is good right?"

Kakashi nodded, and then he said with a smile: "Yes, it looks like you are not lazy and train hard even when I'm not here."

"Of course, I am Uzumaki Naruto, the one who will become the Hokage."

Naruto said as he raises his thumb and reveals his white teeth. He doesn't know why, but when Kakashi saw this scene, he suddenly remembered Guy.

"Then let me see your Taijutsu. Attack me you're your full power Naruto."

"Okay Shiro Nii-chan, but you need to be careful!"

Naruto said, and then his little fist rushed up trying to punch towards Kakashi.

Compared to Naruto's big move, Kakashi put both of his hands in his trouser pocket.

The weather is really cold right now so he tries to get warm by putting his hands in his trouser pocket.

"Your move is too slow!"

"Your swing is too wide!"

"Your fist is not powerful enough!"

"The angle of the attack is wrong."

Kakashi evaded Naruto's attack as he casually pointed out Naruto's shortcomings.

Although Naruto is kind of stupid, his battle instinct is still really good. Under the guidance of Kakashi, he has slowly corrected some of his problems.

A child's Stamina is not strong, so it didn't take long for Naruto to starts panting.

"Can you still continue Naruto?"

Kakashi asked as he looks at Naruto who is putting his hands at his knees.

"Of course I can!"

Sweat dripped down from Naruto's face, but his firm eyes never changed.

Kakashi smiled and said, "Then let's continue."

"Okay!"

He doesn't know how long he had moved, Naruto fell to the ground and couldn't stand anymore as he is out of stamina.

Looking at Naruto who is soaked all over his body, Kakashi knows that Naruto is at his limit and then he said.

"Naruto, you should take a break for now. After a while, we will continue again."

"Wait Shiro Nii-chan, I can still…"

Naruto struggled to get up, but he was pushed down by Kakashi.

"You should stop for now, after all, training is about balancing between work and rest, so it is better if you don't push yourself too hard."

"Okay, I understand Shiro Nii-chan."

After hearing this, Naruto stop struggling to get up and sit on the ground.

"Naruto, how have you been recently?"

"Well, it's good. I don't know what's going on, but recently there will be some money in the window every day, enough for my food expense. It's much better than before."

"Okay, that's good then. If you have money, you should eat well. You shouldn't eat less cup ramen or other instant food. Also, although ramen is delicious, you can't eat it all the time. Don't be a picky eater. Buy some milk for yourself and drink some every morning, which is good for your body's development. Also, take a shower every day, so that your body is clean. And…"

Kakashi said as he thought of something, and his smile gradually widens.

Seeing this, Naruto's eyes become a little wet.

'This kind of feeling of being cared for is really good, it feels so warm.'

"Naruto? Are you listening to me?"

Seeing that Naruto is lost in thought, Kakashi shouts.

"Yeah, I am listening."

"You need to listen to it well. You have to remember what I just said. After all, it is a message from a very important person for you, so you must remember it."

"Who is that very important person?"

Naruto asks with tones is full of confusion, he obviously didn't understand who Kakashi is talking about.

"Ah, that very important person is your mother."

Kakashi said with crescent eye.

"Mother…"

Naruto hearing this is stunned, and his eyes are full of cravings.

"Shiro Nii-chan! You know who my parents are, right? Can you tell me about them?"

Naruto jumped up from the ground and pulled Kakashi's arm directly as his eyes is looking straight at Kakashi.

The eager eyes made Kakashi feels a little mellowed for a while.

But he knows that he can't tell Naruto who his parents are. After all, there may be some problem.

"Naruto, I can't tell you about it."

"Why why! I want to know, why can't you tell me? They are my parents!"

Naruto's eyes burst into tears, and the grievances from the past few years broke out at this moment.

'Yes, why do others have parents, but I don't?

Why do people have someone to take care of them?

Why do others hate me?'

These questions had been lingering in Naruto's mind all this time, but he has never been able to find the answer.

"Naruto, your parents died to protect you, so it can be said that you are the most important thing for them."

"To protect me?"

Naruto stunned and his tears stopped.

It's just that he seems to be dumbfounded after hearing that.

"That's right Naruto. When you become a shinobi that I recognize, I will tell you their names. So will wait until then?"

Kakashi said that as he pats Naruto's blond hair, and once again remembered his teacher who also had blond hair.

Naruto quickly wiped away his tears and made a firm look.

"Yes! I will definitely become a good shinobi and I will become a person recognized by everyone! By that time, you will tell me who my parents are Shiro Nii-chan!"

"Of course I will tell you when that happens, so for now, you have to work hard."

"Okay! Nii-chan, I have enough rest, so let's continue."

"You're really energetic, let's continue then."

The fists and the palms intersected, and the two men start their training again.

But this time is different, Naruto now has a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

'Tou-chan, Kaa-chan, I won't let you down.'

Seeing the changes in Naruto, Kakashi feels that some of the burden in his heart is gone.

The reason why he told Naruto is because he hopes that Naruto will know the love of his parents earlier.

He is not a child that no one wants. His birth brings the hope of two people.

At the last moment of their life, Minato and Kushina poured their hope and dream into Naruto.

Kakashi hopes that Naruto can take up this responsibility and grow up faster.

Then it will be the time when he achieves his dream, and Minato and Kushina will be smiling for him from the heaven.

Looking at Naruto who is working hard, Kakashi smiled.

'Sensei, I will do my best to help Naruto.'
