Chapter 557 Kakashi’s decision

After Shikaku left, Shizune walked in.

"What did Shikaku say to you just now?"

Shizune came in and saw Kakashi sitting in a chair with a thoughtful look on his face, his hands on the desk! She came over, put her hands on Kakashi's shoulders, and looked at him with concern.

Kakashi held Shizune's hand and smiled, "It's okay, you don't have to worry about this!"

Shizune pouted and said, "What's going on? Even I, the Hokage's assistant, can't know about it?"

Kakashi was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Shizune and said, "Shikaku just came in and talked to me about some things, reminding me of my status. Also, he made a guess, and this guess made me feel that what he said might be right!"

Seeing Kakashi speaking so seriously, Shizune asked, "What's your guess?" Kakashi: "Shikaku said that Naruto is so anxious to promote everyone's love now. Is it because he is worried that he will not be able to win in the future and wants to make up for the regrets of his previous life in advance!"

After hearing what Kakashi said, Shizune showed a worried look on her face. She knew that Kakashi had always been a very rational and calm person, but now his expression made people feel his inner uneasiness.

"Kakashi, do you also think Naruto is worried about the future?" Shizune asked softly.

Kakashi nodded and said, "Yeah, I feel the same way. Naruto's behavior has been a little abnormal recently. He seems to be deliberately pushing everyone's relationship process. Moreover, his expression makes me feel that he seems to be hiding something."

Shizune fell into deep thought. She also felt that Kakashi's guess was very likely correct. If Naruto was really worried about the future, then his behavior could be explained. However, she didn't know what to do to help Naruto.

"What should we do?" Shizune asked.

Kakashi held Shizune's hand tightly and said with a firm look: "Shikaku is right, Naruto can't bear everything alone, I have to grow up too!"

Shizune stared at Kakashi, worry written all over her face, and asked softly, "What are you going to do?"

Kakashi smiled slightly, and that smile was like the sunshine on a spring morning, warm and firm: "Now my strength is not as good as before, because I lost Obito's eyes, and the title of Copy Ninja is only in name. Now, my only advantage and specialty ninjutsu is Raikiri."

At this point, Kakashi took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and continued: "But I am the Hokage, I must stand up!"

Shizune looked at Kakashi, his resolute face gleaming in the sun, at this moment, she thought Kakashi was really handsome!

"No, I have to talk to Naruto!" Kakashi said, and stood up without any hesitation.

Shizune sighed, looked at Kakashi and asked, "Are you going now?"

Kakashi nodded and smiled, "Yeah, I'm going to go find Naruto. By the way, I won't go to your place tonight."

After saying that, Kakashi turned and left, his back firm and upright, as if announcing to the world that he was a warrior who would never give up.

The gentle countryside is indeed charming, but as a Hokage, he is well aware of the responsibilities he shoulders. He must stand up for the sake of Konoha Village and the beliefs in his heart. He must continue to grow and surpass himself!

Kakashi opened the door and stepped into the world outside without hesitation.

Shizune looked at Kakashi's receding back, her mind full of thoughts.

She knew that her ninjutsu could no longer be improved, but she could help Kakashi deal with the affairs of Konoha Village and free up time for him to concentrate on improving himself.

Thinking of this, Jingyin encouraged herself and hurried over to deal with the matter.

She was determined to support Kakashi in her own way and contribute to Konoha Village.

In Shizune's heart, Kakashi is a Hokage who is worthy of respect and trust. She is willing to silently support him and accompany him through every difficulty.

With this in mind, Jingyin hurried over to deal with the matter.

Here.

After Naruto finished arranging Jiraiya and Tsunade's wedding, he slept until eleven o'clock that day because he was really tired!

He felt that his busyness these past few days was comparable to the affairs he handled when he was the Hokage!

"Naruto, wake up, it's almost time for lunch!"

Hinata walked into the room and told Naruto to get up.

Naruto hummed and said coquettishly, "I want to lie down for a while!"

Hinata smiled slightly, sat on the bed and said: "Get up, the sun is shining on your butt. Also, what time is it now? Why don't you eat? Aren't you hungry?"

Naruto touched his stomach and found that he was indeed a little hungry!

"What are we going to eat later?"

Hinata looked at Naruto and said, "I'm here to ask you!"

Naruto rolled his eyes and smiled, "Let's go eat ramen! Uncle Ichiraku gave us lifetime free ramen coupons when we got married!"

When Naruto talks about ramen, his eyes light up!

Hinata also remembered that there was indeed such a gift.

"Okay then, get up and let's go eat ramen!"

Seeing Hinata agreed, Naruto got up immediately, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went out to eat ramen. After he finished packing, he just went out and met Kakashi!

"Hey! Kakashi-sensei!"

Kakashi laughed, "Ah, Naruto!"

Hinata also greeted with a smile, "Teacher Kakashi!"

Kakashi nodded, "Hinata!"

Naruto: "Kakashi, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Kakashi scratched his head and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Then, Kakashi looked at Naruto and Hinata and asked: "What are you doing......"

Naruto smiled and said, "Oh, it's almost noon. I just got up and Hinata asked me to eat, so I suggested going out for ramen!"

Hinata saw Naruto asked Kakashi what he was doing there, and Kakashi said he had something to talk to Naruto about, and looked at her. Hinata then understood that it would be better for her to avoid what Kakashi was talking to Naruto about.

"Naruto, I just remembered that I need to go back to the Hyuga household for something!"

Naruto: "What's the matter? Didn't you just tell me that we should go eat ramen together?"

Hinata smiled and said, "I just remembered. You talk to Kakashi-sensei. I'm going home!"

With that, Hinata turned and left.

Naruto stretched out his hand, exclaimed, and called Hinata, but Hinata just waved her hand and left with a smile.

Kakashi sighed, then looked at Naruto and smiled: "Naruto, I understand why you kissed Hinata forcibly after you were reborn. Hinata is really a good wife!"

Naruto looked at Hinata going away and smiled, "Ah, she is indeed. The greatest happiness in my life is marrying Hinata!"

"Oh, by the way, Kakashi-sensei, what do you want from me?"

Kakashi smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll go eat ramen with you first. It's just right, I also need to eat lunch!"

Kakashi and Naruto walked into Ichiraku Ramen. When the customers in the store saw Kakashi, they all smiled at him and greeted him. Kakashi and Naruto responded one by one.

Uncle Ichiraku came over with a smile on his face, greeted Kakashi familiarly, and arranged seats for them.

"Long time no see, Hokage-sama, Naruto." Uncle Ichiraku said, "Is it the same this time?"

"Well, a bowl of ramen with an egg." Kakashi said, "Naruto, what do you want?"

"I want a bowl of super deluxe ramen, with an egg, and lots and lots of char siu!" Naruto said excitedly.

Uncle Yile smiled and said, "Okay, wait a moment."

Kakashi looked at Naruto and couldn't help but recall the time when he used to eat ramen with him.

At that time, Naruto was just a kid, but now, Naruto has grown into an outstanding ninja.

Looking at Naruto's Rinnegan, Kakashi felt deeply moved.

Yes, Naruto can’t be the only one to make sacrifices. As the Hokage and Naruto’s teacher, I have to keep up too!

Seeing Kakashi in a daze, Naruto asked, "Kakashi-sensei, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, just remembered some things from the past." Kakashi said

“Do you remember the first time you came here to eat ramen?”

"Of course I remember!" Naruto said.

"At that time, I wasn't even a ninja yet. I was just a kid who loved ramen."

"Yeah, time flies." Kakashi said.

Naruto couldn't help but laugh and said, "Teacher Kakashi, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly expressing such emotion?"

Just as Kakashi was about to speak, Uncle Ichiraku came over with two bowls of ramen.

One bowl is for Kakashi and the other is for Naruto.

Naruto stared at his super deluxe ramen with his eyes wide open. He couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and start eating!

Seeing Naruto eating ramen with such big mouthfuls, Uncle Ichiraku said with a smile: "Slow down, Naruto, no one is going to snatch it from you. If it's not enough, tell me and I'll give you more!"

Naruto ate his ramen and nodded.

Kakashi smiled while holding his chopsticks: "He didn't have breakfast, so now he's hungry, that's why he eats so much!"

Uncle Yile said with an "oh" and suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

After saying a few more words to Kakashi, Uncle Ichiraku went to do his work. After all, there were many other customers in the store!

Here, Naruto is slurping and showing off wildly!

Gulp, gulp, Naruto finished the soup after a few mouthfuls.

"Uncle! Another bowl please!"

Uncle Yile fished out the noodles and said with a smile, "Here it comes!"

He made another bowl and brought it directly to Naruto.

Kakashi was only halfway through his meal when Naruto had already started his second bowl.
