"A-Are you speaking the truth, Kakashi-sensei? Can I really live at your place!"
Naruto's voice was slightly breaking, Kakashi understood that even Naruto wasn't very happy with his current lifestyle.
"Yes, you can, more like you will be from now, until you have enough money for yourself to live in a good place. Your current one is not something where you should be living."
Kakashi nodded, assuring Naruto that he no longer had to live in his compact, lonely apartment. Tears welled in Naruto's eyes, he was clearly glad to hear such words from Kakashi.
Not that he was getting sentimental, but that lone small apartment room of his, wasn't something he liked to live in.
It's just that he can't go anywhere else, that was all Hiruzen, as Sandaime Hokage could provide to Naruto, or more like wants to provide Naruto.
If Hiruzen really cared about Naruto's well-being, then he at least could have provided him a proper place if not luxury.
'How strange? I actually never thought about it before today.' Kakashi thought, he really has never considered such a thing.
Hiruzen's excuse for not letting those rumors on Naruto, about him being Nine-Tail's reincarnation dead down, is to protect him from Minato's enemies.
That itself sounds quite stupid to Kakashi now, but even if he were to believe in that, then why didn't he give Naruto a proper place to live, and enough allowance for him to eat to his heart's content.
This thing, Kakashi has already considered before, that Naruto's stunted growth is the direct fault of Hiruzen, even Minato and Kushina's wealth is enough for Naruto to live comfortably.
But the Village has confiscated it, and then let Naruto live like a normal war orphan of the Konoha.
It's not that Hiruzen has to give Naruto, a royal treatment, which obviously makes others suspicious, but the current one is very poor treatment which Naruto didn't deserve.
He can provide him better facilities, which wouldn't make it suspicious, plus rumours about Nine-Tail's, already makes it obvious to other villages actually, that Naruto is Jinchūriki of Kyūbi.
'Now I can clearly see the things, which I wasn't before.' Kakashi chuckled dryly to himself.
Naruto washed his tears of joy, and asked, "Then, when can I come to your place, Kakashi-sensei?"
Kakashi looked at him, a little surprised and asked, "You agreed, just like that? I thought you were going to ask a lot of stuff on why, and such."
Naruto shook his head, "It's better to live with someone, and you are even my Sensei, it's better than living alone, in a distant area of the village's apartment."
Kakashi raised his brow, frowned slightly as well, he can clearly feel joy in Naruto's voice now.
'Looks like he has bottled up all the hurt feeling of loneliness till now.' Kakashi noted, and said, "If you want, you can shift today as well."
Naruto's eyes sparkled, jumped up to hug Kakashi. "Thanks, Kakashi-sensei."
Kakashi smiled, but suddenly felt an intense stare of Sasuke at him. He asked, "Sasuke, why are you staring at me like that? Do you want something from me?"
Sasuke, who was unknowingly staring at Kakashi, got out of it, and shook his head. "No, nothing, I didn't need anything." He said.
Sasuke then looked to the side, declined his head and muttered something, he also wasn't sure why suddenly when Naruto hugged Kakashi, he just started to stare at Kakashi.
Kakashi then pushed back Naruto, who was clinging on him, and said, "Alright now go back to train, and Naruto, you go and buy a few more water balloons."
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei."
Saying that Sasuke got up and started practicing Chidori, while Naruto, after taking money from Kakashi, sent one of his Shadow Clone to buy water balloons.

Later in the night, Naruto took a small suitcase, which mostly includes his clothes, an orange jumpsuit and some others with his small savings in Gama-chan, his green toad-looking purse.
He walked behind Kakashi, a wide smile was plastered on his face, and both reached Kakashi's place. Kakashi opened the door, and put his shoes in his shoe-case, Naruto also followed him, doing the same.
"WOW!!"
Upon entering the house, Naruto looked around, like seeing something unique, though Kakashi's house isn't big, but a medium-sized, two-floored wooden house, in a distinct Japanese structure.
However for Naruto, this alone felt like heaven, a huge mansion. Seeing Naruto this happy, Kakashi shook his head and thought, 'I should have done this much earlier.'
He then looked at Naruto, pointing at the room on the left side on the first floor. "Naruto, you can take that room, and mine is directly in front of yours. And if you want, you can even take the room at the above floor."
Naruto said aloud, saluting Kakashi, "Yes, Kakashi-sensei!"
Kakashi chuckled and said, "Alright, go, settle your things down, and sleep for now."
With that, Naruto took his small suitcase in the room that Kakashi told him to, and Kakashi also went to his room after also show Naruto where's the Kitchen and Bathroom and other things are.

Three Days Later...
[Congratulations, Host!]
[For reaching Peak-Kage Level Chakra. System upgradation started...]
It was mid-night time, and suddenly Kakashi heard the System's voice first time after a longtime, from when the system has activated.
"What actually is going on?!"
Kakashi muttered, now completely awake, no longer felt sleepy, his eyes widened in surprise, because the system was speaking once again.
