The Ten Shadow Sorcerers of the Nara Clan

What Kakashi said made him want to try it.

"Aren't you afraid that I might do the same to you?"

Naruto twitched his eyebrows upwards.

"...Sure, I have no objection."

Kakashi stared at him for about ten seconds, then raised his head and smiled at him.

Then he silently quickened the pace of eating noodles.

"I'll make a note of it, and you can't regret it. By the way, speaking of this, do you know how I should chat with Kyuubi?"

Naruto clapped his hands happily as if he had discovered something interesting.

Kakashi said that Kyuubi also played role-playing games with him, like Dragon Quest or Super Mario...

The Demon King is someone else, the Nine-Tailed Fox is the evil dragon, and that self is the hero.

And Kakashi is a princess.

Because in the end the hero followed the demon king to have dinner, and the princess was the only human left to enjoy the breeze on the high tower created by the earth escape technique.

In the end, the princess and the dragon lived happily together.

What a beautiful story.

"Well... I don't know either. Sorry, maybe he can find a way, but I think if you want, it should be possible."

Kakashi thought about it seriously, but unfortunately, he couldn't come up with any solution.

After all, Naruto was sealed passively, and he himself is not a Jinchūriki.

The person who knew all the effects of the seal... is no longer here.

Can make the Nine-Tails come out by itself without killing the container

That person was just thinking about how to exploit the loophole in the seal.

"Ok."

Naruto picked up his chopsticks and smoothed out Kakashi's noodles, which were almost clumped together. "Why are you eating slower than me? Finish eating quickly. I want to drink soy milk."

Kakashi uttered an "oh" and increased his eating speed again.

Naruto managed to get the sweetened soy milk he wanted within half an hour after breakfast.

After drinking, he strolled around Konoha with Kakashi.

On the way, Naruto saw some stalls selling interesting but useless things, so he pulled Kakashi's finger and asked him to buy a lot of things for him.

Then all the useless things were put into the bag and hung on Kakashi's wrist.

"Third, there is still some time before noon. Let's go back and get these things. Then you can come out and play with me. I have something I want to do."

Naruto took a piece of fruity candy from Kakashi's pocket, tore open the wrapper and ate it.

"Ah."

Kakashi took the candy wrapper from Naruto and disposed of it in his usual way.

Naruto asked Kakashi to carry a few buckets of water and took him to the art supply store.

[Spray paint doesn’t fade even in the rain, which is good, but…

Not easy to clean.

He asked Kakashi to buy some ordinary paint.

"By the way, before you started your mission at the Loulan ruins, you asked Sai to draw a portrait of your teacher for you. It seemed like you accompanied him to the rooftop opposite Shadow Rock to draw it... It really looked like him. Later, that portrait was even hung in your living room."

After Kakashi saw the paint, he recalled some things.

...It was because of that portrait that he was injured at home.

Lady Tsunade refused to treat him, so he just stayed in a plaster cast for several months.

Naruto saw a very indescribable expression on Kakashi's face. "As expected of me, but what I want to do may be different from him."

Naruto spread his hands and asked Kakashi to buy a lot of white paint.

Check out and leave.

This time it was Naruto who led the way.

"Where do you want to go?"

Kakashi asked confused.

The direction Naruto was heading was a road that he had never taken before.

He was sure that Naruto had no memory of his past life.

"Can we go up there?"

Naruto pointed to a practice field far to the right of Shadow Rock.

"Well, there is a path over there that leads to the top of the cliff."

Kakashi hung both buckets of water and paint on one hand, carrying those things with difficulty, and used his free hand to hold Naruto's hand.

——"But the road over there is a bit complicated. I'll take you there."

Kakashi led him through the streets and forests, along the sandy mountain path, and to the open space above Shadow Rock.

It's very open here and there are stone pillars, which is very suitable for practice.

He once trained here with Jiraiya, accompanying Naruto and Sasuke.

Before the third exam.

But Naruto didn't practice the Rasengan.

“Want to paint here?”

Kakashi looked out at the endless sandy land.

Simply level the ground and you can start painting.

"Do not."

Naruto dragged Kakashi to the top of Shadow Rock on the edge of the cliff.

——"We are going to draw Shadow Rock.

I...I'll leave my father's rock statue to you. I'm sure you will have a deeper impression of him than I do."

He pointed at the Yondaime below him and winked.

“Wait, this isn’t good…!”

Kakashi took several steps back.

"I want to draw him whether it's good or not. I want to see what he looks like. He doesn't look like a good-looking guy even with his eyes looking white. So, please."

Naruto picked some lemon yellow and white from the bag in Kakashi's hand, and after thinking about it, he picked out bright red and sky blue and let Kakashi mix the colors himself.

"I'm going to paint the others now. Come on! Remember to use white as the base color first!"

Naruto grabbed the remaining paint and one of the buckets and ran to the edge of the cliff.

Kakashi refused in his heart, but he didn't want to bear the consequences of rejection.

I could only walk towards the edge of the cliff slowly, taking two steps at a time, with mixed feelings.

A minute later, before Kakashi walked over, Naruto came running over carrying those things.

"I can't get down, please help me, the one by Master Hashirama is easy to paint, I want to paint that one first."

Naruto confidently opened his arms to Kakashi.

“…After you’ve finished painting, just wash it off when you’ve had enough.”

Kakashi accepted it, picked up Naruto and jumped onto the head of the first Hokage's rock statue.

Just as he loosened his grip and was about to go to his teacher's 'head', Naruto suddenly hugged and embraced his thighs again.

"Don't you want to paint anymore? Then let's go back to---"

Before Kakashi could finish his words, he was pinched hard on the knee.

He quickly gathered chakra at the soles of his feet to prevent himself from slipping and falling with Naruto.

"..."

Naruto looked up timidly and stretched out a trembling hand towards his face.

Kakashi squatted down upon seeing this and was hugged by Naruto around the neck.

The bucket hit my back and it hurt a lot.

"……What's wrong?"

Kakashi frowned and asked worriedly.

This was the first time he saw Naruto looking so weak.

"...I...it's too high. I can't stand steadily..."

Naruto glanced down.

Kakashi felt Naruto's arms shaking even more.

"Then let's not paint anymore and go back——"

"Do not……!"

Kakashi wanted to ask Naruto to give up this activity, but was interrupted by this kid again.

"I want to draw, you...you use your shadow clone to draw my dad, and you stay here and hold me so I don't fall!"

Naruto said with a determined look on his face.

"……OK."

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Kakashi had no choice but to follow Naruto's idea.

The two shadow clones took his buckets and paint and went to work over there. Kakashi held Naruto in his arms and walked around the rock statue of Hashirama, painting his face white.
