"Let's talk after we come in."
Kawasaki was the first to enter the room.
Naruto secretly peeked outside a few times as he closed the door.
This scene made Kawasaki laugh.
"Why are we being so cautious here?"
Naruto turned around, his face beaming with excitement and joy, and said:
"Kawasaki-senpai, how could you lie to me?"
Upon seeing Naruto's expression, Kawasaki, remembering that today was the day for assigning mentors, immediately realized that Naruto had recognized Minato and said:
"Oh dear, what a pity, I was planning to give you a surprise."
Kawasaki said with a smile:
"How about that? What was supposed to be a wait of several months has suddenly become a reality, hasn't it?"
"Surprised? Happy?"
Naruto hugged Kawasaki tightly and said, "Thank you, senpai."
"Thank you for taking care of me all these years, so that I am no longer living alone."
"They also tried their best to reunite me with my family."
"I...I'm just too..."
"Thank you, I'm really grateful..."
Naruto couldn't help but burst into tears.
Recalling my life before I was five years old, I often had one full meal and two hungry meals, and I only ate rice with sand in it and drank expired milk.
He had few friends and was isolated, ostracized, or even beaten up wherever he went.
Most of the time, he can only swing alone, because that's the only swing he knows how to do.
Until I met Kawasaki-senpai.
Chapter 236 Kurama, Naruto!
Kawasaki-senpai never looked down on him; he treated him to ramen and even had Sasuke accompany him shopping for clothes.
Help him in various ways.
Although he kept saying he wanted Sasuke to play with him, it was more like he wanted Sasuke to play with him.
He then arranged for his uncle, Fugaku, to teach him ninjutsu techniques, ensuring that he would diligently learn the new knowledge.
When he got older, they told him his true background.
He even went so far as to expend enormous resources to resurrect his father.
Naruto wasn't stupid; he knew exactly how much it would cost to bring someone back to life.
Kawasaki-senpai was really good to him.
If it weren't for Kawasaki-senpai, my life trajectory would definitely be completely different.
Naruto cried his eyes out in Kawasaki's arms.
Kawasaki chuckled and patted him on the back, saying, "Come on, it's all happy news, why are you crying?"
"Remember, your father's identity is highly confidential. You must never tell anyone, or he will be in great danger."
Naruto wiped away his tears forcefully and said, "I understand, Kawasaki-senpai!"
"I will definitely repay you in the future!"
Kawasaki gently pinched Naruto's red nose and said, "You brat, compared to the years of friendship between me and your parents, this little thing is nothing."
Naruto covered his nose and said, "Ouch, Kawasaki-senpai..."
Kawasaki released his hand and handed him a piece of paper, saying, "Wipe it off."
Naruto took the tissue, blew his nose, and stopped crying.
Instead, I asked out of curiosity:
"Did you and my parents know each other a long time ago?"
Kawasaki recalled how he was obsessed with the Naruto series when he was a child in his previous life.
He remarked with a sigh, "Hmm, it's been about several decades."
Naruto scratched his head and said: Kawasaki is only in his twenties, how could it be decades?
Suddenly, Kawasaki patted Naruto on the head:
"If you truly want to thank me, then don't go astray."
Naruto tilted his head in confusion: "What crooked path?"
Kawasaki felt he should give the kid a heads-up.
"You know you're a kind-hearted and good child."
Seeing that Naruto was listening attentively, he continued, "But you must remember, don't always assume that one person can solve everyone's problems."
Naruto replied blankly, "Isn't it good to help others?"
Kawasaki shook his head and said, "It's hard for people to truly understand each other's feelings."
Sometimes you think you're considering others' needs, but they don't appreciate it.
You shouldn't have imposed your goodwill on me then.
At this point, you need to let go of your obsession and respect the other person's choice!
Naruto was completely confused.
"Then how do I tell when it's not appropriate to help?"
Kawasaki patted his head again: "I'll teach you from now on."
It's dinner time. Don't practice tonight, go home!
"Why? It's not usually like this."
Naruto looked confused; he had never seen Kawasaki chase someone away before.
The senior smiled and said, "You'll understand when you get back to group 1060928735."
That evening, during dinner, Sasuke noticed that Naruto was behaving strangely.
Something felt even worse after the classes were divided.
He showed exceptional respect for his mentor, and even made a special trip back to see him after class.
Sasuke tried to find out the reason but couldn't, and Naruto just smiled foolishly.
Sasuke was too lazy to ask any more questions; he had a lot of troubles of his own.
Despite believing himself to be highly skilled in martial arts, he realized he was still far inferior after sparring with his brother.
Just as his mentor said, even without the Mangekyou Sharingan, his brother could still defeat him.
Recalling his older brother's exquisite moves, Sasuke almost thought he could easily win with his eyes closed.
While feeling lost, I also gained a clearer understanding of my future direction in spiritual practice.
Although the new mentor seems very capable, able to master both Rasengan and Chidori, two highly difficult skills.
But no matter how outstanding they are, they probably can't surpass their master...
Meanwhile, Naruto was preoccupied and hurriedly ran home after having dinner at Kawasaki's place.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he called out to the empty space, as usual, "I'm back!"
This is his habit, his habit of hoping for a response.
However, I have not received any response so far.
However, things changed unexpectedly today.
"Welcome home, Naruto."
Naruto looked up in disbelief upon hearing the familiar voice.
Sure enough, there stood Minato, wearing an apron, holding a spatula, and having removed his wig and contact lenses.
Although the face still retains the appearance of Jugo after his transformation, it is still clearly recognizable as the father's appearance.
"Dad!"
Naruto rushed over and hugged him tightly.
Minato raised the shovel with one hand and gently patted Naruto's back with the other.
Naruto barely suppressed his excitement and said:
"Dad, when exactly did you come back to life?"
"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's eat and chat."
"The secret agents will be coming to inspect soon, so I have to hurry."
·····Requesting flowers·········
Minato asked Naruto to sit down in a chair.
The table was already laden with various dishes.
Naruto just ate at Kawasaki's place, so he's not too hungry yet.
But don't worry about not being able to eat.
"Nine Lama, please help me!"
"Hmph, brat, don't do it again."
Nine-Tails glanced at the large TV on the wall and snorted.
The Nine-Tails' chakra began to flow, and Naruto felt his body slightly warm.
