Chapter 610: Bringing Kakashi and Yamato Back Together
[Yamato: Moderate Bullying Value. As someone who inherited the First Hokage's Wood Release kekkei genkai, Yamato not only failed to inherit the First Hokage's Will of Bonds, but instead inherited the Uchiha clan's Furry Will.
Yamato was not satisfied with inheriting Wood Release. He even wanted to use the name of inheriting Uzumaki Mito's legacy as an excuse to obtain the Nine-Tails he loved.
However, Yamato accidentally discovered that Uzumaki Mito was enjoying Konoha's specialty snacks. While following her afterward, intending to eliminate his rival, he discovered that the person in question was actually Kakashi.
In order to get Yamato to keep the secret, Kakashi said he was willing to give Yamato one. Yamato refused.
However, by refusing, Yamato inadvertently exposed the fact that he was not a Bond Ninja and had not inherited the First Hokage's Will. Kakashi then turned around and threatened him.
If Kakashi told Danzō about this, Danzō would definitely send four astonishingly muscular men to straighten out Yamato's twisted Will.
Yamato had no choice but to establish a mutual restraint with Kakashi. They held each other's secrets and became two people bound together by a tangled fate.
But Yamato had only learned the Uchiha's love of furries without learning the Uchiha's kindness. He had indeed inherited the First Hokage's Will, but what he inherited was the part about doing whatever it took.
Yamato secretly leaked the information that Kakashi had once worked as a toy boy, forcing Kakashi to return to his old profession. In order to keep the secret, Kakashi was forced to provide services for other old ladies.
Then Yamato revealed this matter to Uzumaki Mito. After learning about it, Uzumaki Mito assumed that Kakashi's nature had not changed and cut ties with him.
But that was not the end of it. In order to completely destroy Kakashi, Yamato secretly guided the villagers into bullying his father, the White Fang of Konoha, eventually driving him to suicide.
Yamato planned to use this opportunity to take advantage of Kakashi's vulnerability, get close to him, and then guide Kakashi toward the abyss of depravity.
But by sheer coincidence, Danzō ordered him to assassinate the Third Hokage at exactly this time.
If Yamato refused to go, Danzō would have reason to question his loyalty. But if he went, his peaceful life would be shattered, and he would no longer be able to get close to Kakashi.
Yamato had no choice but to agree.
However, the naturally evil Yamato pretended to be moved during the assassination attempt and defected at lightning speed.
Afterward, he transferred from the darkness of Root to the Third Hokage's service. After becoming Kakashi's colleague, Yamato could only suppress his true nature and work hard at being a normal person.
He could only watch helplessly as Uzumaki Mito passed the Jinchūriki down to the next generation.
Today, Yamato received a report from the villagers saying that the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, Uzumaki Naruto, had gone berserk.
This news finally made Yamato unable to hold himself back.
This was the perfect opportunity. He absolutely had to use it to obtain the Nine-Tails!
Recommended Punishment: Enter Sage Mode and permanently smash Yamato's testicles.]
"I've got to say, that's a lot of information."
Naruto had not expected that Bai Mo's interface had been so brief earlier, only for it to suddenly provide such detailed information when it came to Yamato.
But then again, his ability seemed pretty incredible.
He no longer needed to run to the archives.
Besides, the information in the archives was not necessarily true, while anything provided by this system interface had to be reliable and accurate.
"Captain Yamato, I never expected you and Kakashi-sensei to have this kind of relationship in this world…"
Naruto's mind began working.
The mission wanted him to use Sage Mode to break free from the Four-Pillar Prison. There had to be a reason for that.
He could obviously break free with Nine-Tails Mode as well.
Wood Release did indeed suppress the power of the Tailed Beasts, but the stats of a perfect Jinchūriki were simply too high.
Uh…
He was not a perfect Jinchūriki. He was the Tailed Beast itself.
Anyway, his stats were so high that Yamato's Wood Release simply could not suppress him.
Then why did he have to use Sage Mode?
The reason was simple—he was afraid Yamato would enjoy it too much.
Yamato was already obsessed with the Nine-Tails. He had endured humiliation and played the role of a good person for so many years just for the sake of the Nine-Tails.
If Naruto used the Nine-Tails' power, wouldn't that be exactly what Yamato wanted?
That might be true, but Naruto refused to listen to the mission system.
Naruto had always believed that people should be changed through love and understanding.
How could he use such a method?
If he transformed into the Nine-Tails and won Captain Yamato's affection, wouldn't that bring the two of them closer and allow Captain Yamato to understand him and turn back from evil?
Besides, he also had to make the Yamato of this world reconcile with Kakashi-sensei.
Naruto remembered what Kakashi had told him before he entered the Engraved Tsukuyomi World.
Engraved Tsukuyomi was not merely a genjutsu world for him to experience and enjoy. It could also train his ability to handle situations, allow him to accumulate plenty of experience, and lay the foundation for him to become Hokage in the future.
Wasn't helping Kakashi and Yamato reconcile exactly an example of handling a situation?
Naruto felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
After taking a deep breath, golden Nine-Tails chakra appeared, and Naruto transformed into a fox-demon femboy.
Yamato was startled when he saw this. His body trembled, and even the hands maintaining the Four-Pillar Prison's seals shook, causing the entire prison to wobble.
Naruto seized that opening and smashed through the Four-Pillar Prison with a single claw. His golden fox claw then grabbed Yamato.
"Is this the power of the Nine-Tails? Ah—"
Yamato closed his eyes and simply began enjoying himself.
Naruto said nothing. He just grabbed Yamato and headed straight for Kakashi's residence.
After recently dealing with Neji's threats and schemes against Naruto, being threatened by Orochimaru into assisting with the plan, and investigating the rebellion in an attempt to redeem himself, Kakashi was now physically and mentally exhausted. He had no energy left for another free-for-all.
He also temporarily did not dare to start another free-for-all and challenge the authority of Kushina.
But without the emotional outlet provided by the free-for-alls, Kakashi had become somewhat depressed.
How he longed for the Sage of Six Paths to descend from the heavens and bestow a muscular man upon him.
"Kakashi-sensei, open the door! I've brought you a present!"
"?"
Kakashi opened the door and saw Naruto in his fox-demon pretty-boy form, holding Yamato by the scruff.
"What is this?"
"Captain Yamato was drowning his sorrows in alcohol and opened up to me. He told me that he has actually been in love with Kakashi-sensei all these years, but he never dared to confess."
"He also didn't dare betray the wish he once made. He didn't want to betray his feelings for the Nine-Tails, so he kept suppressing these feelings."
Naruto had seen far too many bizarre stories by now, so he could make things up on the spot without even blinking.
"Then what is this?"
Kakashi swallowed nervously and asked.
"No, he's talking nonsense! Kakashi, order Naruto to let me go immediately! No, don't let me go. What I mean is…"
Yamato struggled to argue, but the moment the words left his mouth, he once again felt the warmth of the Nine-Tails chakra that he had never experienced before. He could not help but become intoxicated by it.
"Looks like Yamato really is drunk. He's even started talking nonsense."
Kakashi nodded, now convinced that Yamato was drunk.
"Kakashi-sensei, I'm leaving Captain Yamato with you. And then…"
Naruto patted Kakashi on the shoulder, and a mass of crimson Nine-Tails chakra immediately surged over Kakashi's body.
Yamato's expression changed drastically when he saw this.
Could it be that Naruto was planning to…
