Naruto: Sasuke and Naruto Hot Heaven

"What do you want to do?" Xuanjian asked with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"I know you heard it clearly, Xuanjian, and I don't want to say it a second time." Kakashi said in a firm tone, with no intention of backing down.

Xuanjian looked Kakashi up and down to make sure that he didn't have any problems like concussion.

However, Kakashi has always been unpredictable, and his current behavior is indeed a bit abnormal, at least by the standards of a former elite ANBU Jonin.

"But why?" Xuanjian asked.

Kakashi avoided his gaze and said vaguely:

"My ninja dogs need more room to move around."

"Stop talking nonsense! You have to go on at least two missions every day. Even if the villagers don't complain, you can't renovate the ancestral home just for something like this." Xuanjian paused for a moment, carefully pondering Kakashi's tone, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, "Unless, the 'dog' you mentioned refers to something else..."

Kakashi was obviously stunned for a moment, and his cheeks behind the mask seemed to turn slightly red.

I was right!

"You haven't told Iruka yet?" Xuanjian asked tentatively.

"I don't want to hear you say 'I told you so' right now."

"It's been four months! Did they take up residence in your heart so quickly?"

"Have you seen them?" Kakashi asked, raising an eyebrow.

Xuanjian shrugged.

"I only saw the blond boy for maybe thirty minutes."

"So, your answer is 'no'."

Xuanjian waved his hand, ignoring Kakashi's teasing, and said to himself:

"But I really didn't expect you to consider this kind of thing. After all, you've been through so much..."

The corner of Kakashi's eye that was exposed outside the mask twitched slightly. It was a scar that would never heal completely.

"I've been avoiding it for too long. It's time to face the past."

Xuanjian snorted softly.

"Well, Kakashi, you didn't think I would refuse you, did you? That's your ancestral home, you can do whatever you want. I have to find where those documents are. I thought I would never use those things again in my life, but now it seems that those things will be yours sooner or later."

Kakashi's shoulders visibly relaxed, and he whispered:

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me yet." Xuanjian smiled and patted Kakashi's shoulder, "The house is yours, but you have to go and talk to Iruka in person, right? You'll have to talk to him sooner or later."

Kakashi smiled bitterly and scratched his chin.

"I really don't know how to start."

Xuanjian shrugged.

"My advice is that it's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. The longer you wait, the more trouble you'll have to deal with. If you really want to clean up that place, there's a lot you need to do, so the sooner the better."

Kakashi nodded in agreement.

"you're right."

"Then don't waste time!" Xuanjian patted Kakashi's shoulder vigorously and said with a smile, "I have to go to a rest stop to retrieve all the documents from the Land of Lightning. I will deliver the documents to Iruka tonight, so you'd better get your business done quickly!"

"Why are you rushing me..." Kakashi complained, but still obediently did what Xuanjian said.

He took a big step, jumped down from the third floor of the Hokage Building, and left without looking back.

"Those kids really had a big influence on him..." Xuanjian muttered to himself as he looked at Kakashi's figure, then turned and walked towards the rest stop.

The three students from Class 7, plus Inuzuka Kiba and Nara Shikamaru, were lazily lying on the grass, enjoying the afternoon sun.

They spent most of the time napping, huddled together, covered by the only blanket.

Naruto didn't care about it, he was used to sharing everything with his companions, sometimes he even felt that they were like one person, especially when they were exhausted, they would instinctively get close to each other, seeking warmth and security.

"Nine-tailed demon fox? Is this true?" Shikamaru muttered to himself, resting his chin on his folded hands, "No wonder..."

Naruto's eyes snapped open, thinking he had heard wrongly.

"You... aren't you scared?"

Shikamaru looked at him blankly.

"Why should I be afraid?"

"Naruto, everyone who knows you knows what kind of person you are." Sasuke said lazily with his eyes closed.

"Of course I know." Inuzuka Kiba said, "But why didn't you tell us before? It's so cool that you became friends with a tailed beast!"

Sakura smiled and said:

"See? Even Ya knows that this kind of thing is no big deal."

"Speaking of secrets..." Shikamaru suddenly interrupted them, "The reason I called you here is because I discovered something."

Naruto realized that the situation might be serious and quickly pushed Sasuke.

"Hey, Sasuke, wake up, there's something important going on!"

Sasuke slowly opened his eyes, his black eyes full of confusion.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

"Do you remember I told you before that I went through the ANBU files to see if there was any way I could help the Kyuubi?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke nodded.

"Remember, it was before you went to the Land of Whirlpools."

"Well, I did find some things, but I'm not sure about the authenticity of the information, so I didn't tell you to avoid worrying you for nothing. I asked Shikamaru to help me confirm it."

Sasuke suddenly lost all his sleepiness and sat up straight.

"What is it? Is it related to my family?"

Naruto shook his head.

"It's about your brother."

To Naruto's surprise, Sasuke didn't show much reaction. He just took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"What about him?"

Before Naruto could speak, Sakura said:

"If it's something confidential, Ya and I should stay away for now."

Sasuke shook his head and said:

"No need, you are Class 7, my business is your business. Besides, I believe Ya's mouth is still very tight."

Inuzuka Kiba raised his hands and said seriously:

"Hey, I'm pretty good at keeping secrets, and my brothers and sisters are much more noisy than you. Besides, Itachi is a dangerous man, and I don't want to get in trouble."

Shikamaru sneered.

"I bet it'll be an open secret sooner or later."

He pulled out a stack of documents from his jacket pocket, which was much thicker than the one Naruto had given him before, and it was obvious that he had added some new content. He quickly flipped through the documents, then pulled out a folder and handed it to Sasuke.

"This is a copy of the document Naruto gave me. I only took a glance at the cover and found many suspicious points."

"What's the doubt?" Sasuke asked as he took the folder.
