Chapter 20 What on Earth Did Sensei’s Wife Give Birth To?

"This is so weird!"

"Why can't I find that uncle..."

Naruto sat on the Yondaime Hokage's face statue, confusion written all over his face.

He'd spent a whole week searching the village and still couldn't find Guy.

He clearly remembered bumping into that green bowl-cut guy right outside the Academy's gate before.

Swinging his legs and resting his chin in one hand, Naruto overlooked the entire Konoha Village.

In fact, the scenery of the village is really nice from up here.

He could hear kids laughing, vendors shouting out deals, smoke rising from chimneys in the distance… it was full of life.

He was starting to get used to living here.

After taking it all in for a moment, Naruto sighed and murmured, "What a peaceful scene..."

But he knew that the current peace was only temporary.

After all, in a few years, Konoha will welcome Nagato, the so-called God, and the entire Konoha will feel the pain together.

Later, Konoha will be built in the big crater.

Thinking back to what he remembered from the original plot, Naruto couldn't help but feel a growing sense of urgency.

Even though he is much stronger now than the original Naruto, he knew that Pain was only a small BOSS in the early stage.

Later, the Uchiha Group and the Otsutsuki bunnies appeared in the Shinobi World one after another.

If he doesn't have enough strength, he'd be crushed long before reaching the finish line.

"Where the hell did that uncle go?!"

Naruto gritted his teeth in frustration.

He was bored out of his mind, and since today's training was already done, he figured he might as well wander the village for a bit.

Whoosh…

With a forward lean, Naruto launched himself off the Hokage Rock, yelling as he fell: "Woohoo…"

Hiruzen, who stood in the Hokage Tower, looked out just in time to see Naruto dive off the Hokage Rock. He was so shocked that he almost pulled his beard off.

'That kid was only six years old!!'

'Although he could control Chakra now, he is still just a child.'

'And the Hokage Rock is at least a hundred meters above the ground!'

'Normal kids would be scared to death standing on it, but Naruto could actually jump off from it without any dismounting skills...'

'He can't just rely on his abnormal physique from being the Kyubi's Jinchuriki to do whatever he wants!'

'Even Kakashi wasn't this reckless when he graduated early!'

Hiruzen always felt that if Naruto continued like this, something bad would happen sooner or later.

Bang…

There was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground below the Hokage Rock, followed by a huge cloud of dust.

Naruto gritted his teeth, covered his butt with his right hand, and limped out of the dust.

"Hiss…"

"That hurts..."

He was so absorbed in sitting on the Hokage Rock just now that he forgot that he was not in the sealed space at all.

It wasn't until after he jumped that it hit him.

And the moment he landed, Naruto seemed to hear the sound of his bones breaking.

Fortunately, with the Uzumaki Clan's physique and the Kyubi's Chakra boost, no major accidents occurred.

The fact he could still walk said everything.

Kurama, who saw Naruto's pathetic display, didn't hold back his usual brutal commentary.

"You brat, you're way too weak!"

"If it weren't for me, you would have fallen to your death just now!"

If this dumb kid really died from falling...

Kurama felt that he would lose all his dignity.

The Jinchuriki of the most powerful Biju fell to his death...

That'd be a disgrace.

Naruto wasn't in the mood to talk to the big fox in his belly.

'I was already so miserable, and this freeloader still had the nerve to nag? No gratitude at all.'

'What would he do if I actually died?'

Naruto dragged his injured body and walked slowly on the streets of Konoha. After walking for a few minutes, he found that the pain in his body didn't seem to be that severe anymore.

'As expected of myself!'

'If this had happened in my previous life, a fall like that would've reduced me to roadkill.'

"Naruto?"

Kakashi, who had just walked out of the Konoha Bookstore, happened to see Naruto.

Seeing him limping, Kakashi thought for a moment and decided to come closer and show some concern.

"What happened?"

Kakashi kept his usual deadpan expression and walked up to Naruto.

"Oh hey, White-Hair Uncle..."

"No big deal... I just jumped off the Hokage Rock and landed wrong."

"I should be fine in a bit."

Kakashi: "???"

'Wait, what?'

'What did he just say?'

'He jumped off from the Hokage Rock!?'

Kakashi was completely shocked.

'How could a kid of his age survive a fall from that height?'

'Even a fully trained Shinobi would've needed to spend time in Konoha Hospital after a drop like that!'

Kakashi's deadpan expression almost couldn't be controlled anymore.

Then he thought about his teacher's wife...

And replayed what Naruto just said, "I should be fine in a bit."

'What the hell kind of monster did sensei's wife give birth to?!'

Kakashi was left completely speechless by a six-year-old kid.

At this time, Naruto found that his sprained ankle seemed to have recovered.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered, 'Didn't Kakashi also know the Eight Gates?'

'No matter what, my Dad is Kakashi's teacher. Surely he would be willing to give me a hand, right?'

Naruto thought it over, but ran into another problem.

'How was I supposed to ask Kakashi to demonstrate the Eight Gates?'

'The old man Sandaime was still monitoring me with his peeping ball, so it would be really problematic for me to ask directly.'

After thinking for a long time, Naruto looked up at the dazed white-haired man.

"Hey, White-Hair Uncle, can you teach me some Taijutsu?"

Kakashi squatted down in front of Naruto with a lecturing expression.

"Next time you ask someone for help, remember to be a little more polite."

Hiruzen had told them before not to let Naruto continue to develop Taijutsu, so Kakashi originally planned to turn him down.

But looking at Naruto now, he couldn't bear it...

'No matter what, Naruto is Sensei's son... I should at least fulfill my responsibilities as his student.'

'Besides, I am not Guy, so how could I lead Naruto astray?'

"But you haven't even told me your name."

Naruto scratched his head and said innocently.

At the same time, he silently praised himself for his self-control.

Every time he saw Kakashi, he almost couldn't resist shouting, "It's the fifty-fifty expert, Hatake." (T/N: In China, there's a meme where Kakashi would be able to take on anyone without losing, that's why he's called Fifty-Fifty.)

Kakashi's eyelid twitched, and a hint of awkwardness flashed across his face.

'Now that I thought about it, neither I nor Guy had ever properly introduced ourselves when we first met Naruto...'

"Kakashi. Hatake Kakashi."

"And stop calling me White-Hair Uncle."

"Also... are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?"

To be honest, Kakashi was really worried that something might happen to Naruto.

After all, what kind of child gets injured and immediately starts asking for training?

"Of course I'm fine, Uncle Kakashi!"

"Let's get started right now!"

After getting Kakashi's consent, Naruto jumped twice on the spot to prove he was fine, and then threw out a portal.

A purple light cocoon appeared out of thin air in front of Kakashi.

The sight instantly put Kakashi on high alert. He pushed up his forehead protector and began to observe the strange portal in front of him with his Sharingan.

And then he remembered the rumors about Naruto...

The son of the Yondaime Hokage.... possessor of a Space-Time Kekkei Genkai.

Even as shock coursed through him, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a wave of nostalgia.

Ever since his teacher's death, there hadn't been anyone in the village who could use Space-Time Ninjutsu.

"Uncle Kakashi, let's go."

Seeing Kakashi standing there in a daze, Naruto looked up and called out to him, then pulled his sleeve and walked into the portal.

Kakashi instinctively tried to stop himself, but was still pulled in by Naruto.

'How the hell is this kid so strong!?'
