Chapter 95 Something was stolen?

"Okay, kids, let's stop here for today's training." Kakashi said, looking down at Puck who was lying on his head. The latter was boredly watching the three little guys practicing ninjutsu in the treetops not far away. The fire, water and wind blades they released reflected dazzling light in the sun. "What do you think of their performance during this period?"

"It's too early to tell," Parker admitted. "They don't work well together yet, but that's understandable considering they've only recently started practicing summoning. Their summons are well matched to their own abilities, and they're getting along better and better, which is a good start."

"I agree with you. It is indeed difficult to master the Sage Mode summoned beasts, but it is not completely impossible, especially when they treat the summoned beasts as partners and friends. It seems that I worry too much."

"Boss."

"Ok?"

"Is it normal for them to have such powerful strength at such a young age?" Puck asked as he watched Sasuke's Peng Bird and Sakura's Teng Snake fighting each other, while Naruto's two fox summons were wrestling on the ground.

"This is not without precedent." Kakashi said lightly. He himself was a genius ninja. Although his three students were also gifted, he always felt that things were not that simple.

"Are you sure? I'm not sure." Parker muttered, and then as if he suddenly thought of something, he reminded loudly: "Don't play around! Get ready to practice the next formation, hurry up!"

Hearing its command, the three little ghosts stopped reluctantly, but soon started a new round of training.

"You're worried about more than just their strength and talent, right?" Kakashi guessed.

Parker snorted.

"That's just one aspect," it admitted. "Normally, ninjas with great power often have to pay a mental and emotional price, such as being withdrawn, having psychological problems, or even being arrogant. But with the exception of that stubborn kid, the mental states of all of them are very healthy, which is incredible."

"That's wonderful," Kakashi said sincerely, considering the childhood experiences of the three of them, he could understand why they would find strength in each other and the unshakable bond between them.

If the price of this stability was that they became too dependent on each other, Kakashi didn't think it was a big deal. He believed that with a little guidance, they could overcome this problem. Even if they couldn't, there were worse disadvantages than this.

"Stop fighting! Kuran! Little Prince!"

Kakashi and Puck's conversation was interrupted by a quarrel. Following the sound, they saw Naruto trying to separate two little foxes fighting each other. If he remembered correctly, their names should be Kuran and Little Prince.

"They're fighting again," Puck muttered, and Kakashi couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, kids, take a break and have lunch," Kakashi called out.

"Can we go take a shower first?" Sasuke complained. He landed on a branch next to Kakashi and looked down at the blue venom on his clothes with disgust. "Lavia's venom is sprayed everywhere."

"That's because I didn't spray you in the eyes!" Lavia retorted, leaning her head over Sakura's shoulder.

"Okay, then we'll meet at Ichiraku Ramen in an hour," said Kakashi.

"Stop it, you two," Naruto muttered as he separated the two little foxes.

"It was it that started it!" the little prince screamed and hid in Naruto's arms aggrievedly.

After a few hours of getting along, the little fox finally recognized Naruto and quickly established a deep relationship with him. It seemed to like acting coquettishly with Naruto very much, often crawling into his clothes or curling up in his arms.

The black-fur Kuran then jumped onto his favorite spot - Naruto's shoulder.

"Lie!" it retorted, but it immediately quieted down when Naruto gently scratched the fur behind its ears.

"Okay, okay, let's take a break." Naruto coaxed softly, and the two little foxes calmed down, each found a comfortable position and closed their eyes.

"This is so much fun," Chickli said excitedly. "I love playing with them."

Kakashi looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but smile with relief under his mask. As they crossed the street and walked out of the training ground, Kakashi noticed that several Chunins deliberately slowed down their pace and looked at the three children and the summoned beasts beside them curiously.

On the way home, Kakashi made a detour to the memorial stone. He stood in front of Obito's tombstone and chatted with his old friend about the children's recent situation.

"When did you become so fussy?" Kakashi seemed to hear Obito's voice. "Where is the cold-blooded guy I knew?"

"When you died, he died with you," Kakashi thought sadly. "I won't make the same mistake again. I won't take the things I hold dear for granted."

He really wanted to know, if Obito was still alive and saw him as he is now, and saw him become a jonin teacher, leading a new generation of ninjas on the path of ninja just like he did back then, what would he think?

He believed that Obito would be proud of him, and Rin would smile and ruffle his hair like she used to.

He also wanted to know, would Obito and Rin forgive him? Forgive him for not having the courage to face Naruto for so long?

He wasn't sure, but he hadn't forgiven himself yet.

Just as he was about to reach the door of his house, he suddenly felt hurried footsteps coming from the roof behind him. He turned around and found Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura running towards him. They were all wearing the clothes they wore when they went out in the morning and looked very disheveled.

"What's wrong? What happened?" he asked, as the three children landed in front of him, panting.

"All our stuff is gone!" Sakura said angrily.

"Our house, our house was robbed!" Naruto added, his voice tearing up. "Everything in our apartment was emptied, but my coin purse, my coin purse was still in my bag!"

"What?!" Kakashi asked in disbelief. He wondered in his mind who was so stupid as to dare to target his student. Then, an ominous premonition came to his mind. He immediately turned around and ran towards his home. He deactivated the chakra alarm on the door and pushed the door open.

As expected, Kakashi's belongings were also missing.

His ninja bag, weapon rack, dressing table, and even the turtle doll on the windowsill were gone, and Parker was dismissed by him half an hour ago. He immediately understood what was going on.

"Damn it Iruka," he said through gritted teeth.

"Teacher? What's wrong?" Sakura asked in confusion. She poked her head into the room. "Did a thief break in?"

Ordinary thieves don't know the traps and secret codes in my room, Kakashi thought.

"Not a thief." He said as he closed the door weakly, his tone full of helplessness. "Come with me, kids, I know where your things are."
