The next day, at breakfast, Kakashi was silently eating a bite of his rice bowl. He was still a little dazed from the events of last night, thinking about what to make of it. He knew what would follow. Hiruzen could indeed serve as Hokage of Konoha for a few more years, no doubt, but with the upcoming Chūnin Exams, Kakashi knew that the Konoha Crush would happen. Hiruzen would be killed by Orochimaru. He had already decided that he would not change this event. If Hiruzen somehow survived, that would be his luck, but Kakashi would not help in the matter.
'If that happens, then my ascension to Fifth Hokage is definite,' Kakashi mused. 'Maybe only Danzō will oppose it, but those other two council members, who probably agreed with me becoming the successor, definitely did so thinking I'm naive and can be controlled.'
He continued his internal thoughts. 'Maybe it isn't so bad. With the Hokage's authority, I can take care of a few things, like Danzō and his Root organization, and even have the forces of Konoha to attack the Akatsuki base later in the future. Once these things are done, I can have someone else become Hokage.'
"Kakashi-sensei, what are you thinking about so deeply?" Naruto asked, his mouth full of rice.
"Huh! Nothing," Kakashi said, waving his hand.
Naruto nodded, then remembered something. "Um, Kakashi-sensei, will a team from Takigakure also participate in the Chūnin Exams?"
Kakashi simply nodded. "Yes, they will, along with Konoha and Sunagakure. Other small nations will also join— Amegakure, Kusagakure, and Tsukigakure, as well as Takigakure."
Kakashi then asked, "But why did you ask?"
Naruto replied, "Oh, actually, yesterday, while on the training ground, Fuu talked to me with that wave transmission Jutsu and told me she also requested that Shibuki let her join the Chūnin Exams as well."
"Oh! Is that so?" Kakashi was slightly surprised. "Does Fuu always bother you? She never talks to me. It looks like she's bothering you a lot then."
Hearing Kakashi, Naruto sighed heavily while nodding aggressively. "Yeah, she talks a lot and won't go silent once start, but she has actually helped me a lot too. Thanks to her and her Tailed-Beast, Chōmei, my conversations with my Nine-Tail's Fox are going well."
"Oh, really?" Kakashi was surprised again. "So, how far have you gotten? Did you become friends with that Fox?"
Naruto shook his head and admitted, "No, I'm not, but as I said before, that Fox no longer yells at me a lot. He still naps most of the time or asks me to open the cage seal sometimes. But with Fuu and Chōmei, he doesn't even talk about that anymore."
"Just that?" Kakashi was a little disappointed, but then he thought that it was still good progress, and with Naruto's continued persistence, Kurama would eventually give in and become Naruto's friend, and start to willingly give Naruto access to his chakra.
They continued eating in silence for a minute. Then, again, Naruto thought of something and said, "Um, Kakashi-sensei, can... can I skip the symbols learning for today?"
"Why? You just started yesterday! And you're already thinking about quitting!" Kakashi immediately responded and asked.
"I'm not quitting!" Naruto protested. "It's just that a few days ago, Konohamaru asked me to come and train him. I told him yesterday that I would come and train him and his team today."
Kakashi raised his brow, eyeing him suspiciously. "If he asked you a few days ago, why did you only agree to train him today?"
Naruto coughed lightly, took a glass of water, but didn't say anything to Kakashi. Kakashi then thought. 'Hmm, Konohamaru and his team, huh!'
"Konohamaru's team, you mean his two friends, Udon and Moegi, right?" Kakashi asked.
"Hmm, yeah, them. They're not an official team, but all three of them are together most of the time, and Konohamaru calls them Team Konohamaru," Naruto replied.
Kakashi nodded and thought, 'I don't remember much from the Boruto plot, aside from those Ōtsutsuki's and their powers, but I just remembered now that Moegi Kazamatsuri, Konohamaru's teammate, was somehow genetically possesses the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai without Hashirama's cell transplantation.'
Kakashi then said, "Hey, Naruto, just call Konohamaru and his friends to Training Ground Three."
"Really?" Naruto's expression brightened.
"Yeah, sure. You can train them for some time you want, then continue your training. I can't have you slacking off," Kakashi stated simply.
"Urgh," Naruto groaned, his shoulders slumping. He had planned to skip that boring practice today.
Kakashi thought for a bit and asked, "If you feel that bored, why don't you just make Shadow Clones and quickly learn all the symbols and marking formulas?"
"But I only have one scroll," Naruto responded. He had already thought of that yesterday, but with only one scroll, Shadow Clones wouldn't help, and his clones would be just as bored as him. He just have them train in Rasengan yesterday, which he finally fully mastered, with one hand to form.
"Then just write down all the symbols on another scrolls and have Shadow Clones learn them with you as well. This way, you can learn them quickly," Kakashi suggested.
Naruto contemplated Kakashi's suggestion for a moment, then grinned mischievously. "Yeah, that would work! Why didn't I think of that yesterday?"
Kakashi sighed. He already knew what Naruto was thinking— to have his Shadow Clones write down all the symbols from other scrolls and then have them learn and memorize those symbols. But he thought that would be better. This way, Naruto could start training in Fūinjutsu much earlier than planned.
________________________________
[A/N] Many of you has this miscommunication, but I tell you this fanfic of mine isn't a chinese translation, and my previous mistakes aren't because I didn't read or watch Naruto's manga and anime, but rather because I didn't recall few details, like Kakashi transform Sharingan back-and-forth from Three-Tomoe stage to Mangekyō Sharingan, plus Nagato having Rinnegan also makes be think that Kakashi might have same case, can't go back, as Sharingan isn't his own, like Nagato's Rinnegan actually is of Madara.
And from the time Kakashi use his Mangekyō first, after that most prominent arc's were Pain arc where he use MS, then followed by Forth Great Ninja War arc, where also he mostly use MS, otherwise cover his, and his small moments of him having it in Three-tomoe were forgotten by me, since it's been a year I watched Naruto anime, and only read Fanfic's myself as well.
And for those who are considering my story a chinese translation, it is not, but tell me, just because I make small mistakes makes it a CN? And these mistakes are only small, it's not that I changed whole world-building of Naruto canon. There are non CN on Naruto, which many of you also read and had alot of mistakes, most prominent example is that "Naruto: Wind Calamity" which I enjoyed reading myself, but that fanfic has whole Senju Clan present preety good and alive, aside from Tsunade, even when story is after Kyuubi Rebellion incident time. Is that a CN? No, right?
And there's also a CN that has pretty much low plot holes, which also many of you have read, "Reborn Into Naruto World With Tenseigan" which is a CN and has very low plot holes, and mistakes, but that's a CN not other way around. So those who are calling or asking if my this fanfic CN, then... answer is No, it isn't. And Thanks For Reading!!!
