I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

Konoha Gate, early morning,

"Good morning, Naruto-sensei."

Kakashi yawned and looked a little listless. He stayed up late reading novels again last night.

"Kakashi-sensei, are there only a few of us on this mission? Where's Sakura?"

Naruto looked around and saw that there was no one there except Minato and Kakashi.

Kakashi, "This is a secret mission. We are heading to the Hidden Cloud Village. The fewer people who know about it, the better. Let's talk about it on the way."

"Kakashi, I think you should find someone who can care about you. I always feel that the way you are doing is not good."

Minato said as he glanced at the dark circles under Kakashi's eyes.

"Hmm? I'm used to living alone, Sensei."

Minato shook his head and said, "Take care of yourself, Kakashi."

Kakashi scratched his white fur, feeling that Minato had misunderstood something.

"What exactly is the mission, Kakashi-sensei?"

Naruto is still confused about what he is doing in Kumogakure.

"Naruto, you have finished your training in Senjutsu. Logically, you should be almost as strong as before, but it's still not enough."

Kakashi withdrew his thoughts and explained to Naruto.

"You have the Nine-Tails sealed by the teacher in your body. The power of the Nine-Tails is very strong, but you have never been able to use it. We are now going to Kumogakure to ask for advice on how to use the power of the tailed beasts."

"What are you doing? It turns out you are still practicing."

Naruto felt a little unmotivated. Logically, now should be the time for him to show his skills, but in the end he still had to practice hard.

"Naruto, you have seen the power of Akatsuki. If nothing else, do you think you can defeat Sasuke now?"

Kakashi's face turned serious. "Sasuke's strength has increased. He defeated Gaara head-on a while ago. You can barely handle Sasuke now, let alone the entire Akatsuki organization."

Naruto fell silent when Sasuke was mentioned.

"What's more, the Nine-Tailed Beast is the only one left in your body. You have become their final target. No one knows what they will do once all the tailed beasts are gathered."

Kakashi must let Naruto know the seriousness of the matter. No one knows what kind of power the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuriki can exert, but it is certain that it is a power that surpasses the Kage.

Minato comforted Naruto, "Naruto, I sealed the Nine-Tails in your body because I believed you could use this power. If you want to save your companions from the abyss, you need a stronger power."

"Is the situation so dangerous now?"

Naruto felt Kakashi's urgency and the innocence faded from his face.

Kakashi sighed and said, "That's right, Iwagakure has been defeated, all the territory of the Land of Earth has been occupied by the Land of Rain, and the Land of Sand has also completely surrendered to the Land of Rain."

"Where's Gaara!"

Naruto had been training and hadn't expected so many things to happen in these days.

Kakashi, "Gaara has stepped down as the Kazekage. I heard that he will become the first Speaker of the Wind Country Council and help govern the Rain Country."

?

Naruto was confused, why could he understand every word, but he had no idea what Kakashi meant when they put them together, and what the hell was a Speaker?

"Anyway, he's not a big deal, but he has become our enemy."

Kakashi felt that if he had to explain this to Naruto, there would be no need to say anything else along the way.

"Gaara has become an enemy too?"

They were allies of the Sunagakure before, and he also participated in the operation to rescue Gaara, but in the blink of an eye, they became enemies. Naruto couldn't accept it.

Minato said as he patted Naruto's shoulder.

"Naruto, a qualified Kage will not damage the interests of the village because of personal feelings. Gaara has his own reasons for doing this."

"As long as we complete the training of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and then defeat the Akatsuki people, right?"

Naruto doesn't understand all these complicated things. He knows that all this is caused by Akatsuki, so let him just deal with Akatsuki.

"You can understand this, Naruto, but even if you have completed the training of Jinchūriki, you can't be careless. The opponent's strength is beyond the ability of the Hokage to deal with it."

All we can say is that there is hope, but no one knows what the final outcome will be.

"Then leave it to me. I said I would become a Hokage who surpasses all the previous Hokage!"

Naruto is not afraid of challenges. Perhaps all this is arranged by fate.

"Hokage..."

Kakashi covered his forehead with his hands. He remembered what Tsunade had said before. Although it was a joke, he really didn't want to sit in that position.

...

After a long journey, Kakashi and his companions finally arrived at the Hidden Cloud Village.

Then they were arranged to go to the reception desk to wait for the Fifth Raikage, Killer Bee.

Killer Bee said that he would meet Naruto before deciding to tell him where the Jinchuriki was training.

"Hey, everyone from Konoha has been waiting for a long time!"

Kirabi rushed back as soon as he finished his work, and after becoming the Raikage, he had free time and said goodbye to him forever.

As soon as he entered the room, Kirabi's attention was drawn to Minato, whose appearance had not changed at all over the years.

"Yondaime Hokage, you're here too."

Kirabi had heard about Minato's "resurrection" from his subordinates, but seeing his old enemy again inevitably made him feel a little shaken.

"Yeah, long time no see."

Minato looked at B, who was once the AB combination and was also the perfect Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails. It turned out that he was the one who inherited the position of Raikage after the death of the Fourth Raikage.

"I didn't expect you to come. At first I thought the intelligence department of Kumogakure was playing a joke on me. But Tsunade showed a lot of sincerity by sending you here."

Kirabi ordered all of Kumogakure's men to retreat, leaving only him behind.

"No, Naruto is my son. I would have come even if Lady Tsunade hadn't mentioned it."

Minato looked at Naruto with soft eyes. This was their last hope.

"It's actually your son. You are so cruel to seal the tailed beast in your own child."

Killer Bee knows how the Jinchūriki was treated when he was a child.

"Let's not waste any more time on small talk, Lord Raikage, let's get down to business."

Kakashi interrupted the conversation between the two parties. There was no time to waste.

After hearing this, Killer Bee looked at Naruto and said.

"Naruto is your name right? Tell me, boy, what will you do if you get the power?"

Naruto clenched his fists and looked at this strange old man.

"I want to pull my friends back and stop watching them fall into depravity."

"friend..."

Killer Bee murmured these two words repeatedly, "It seems that you value friendship very much. All of you guys in Konoha are like this."

Minato and Kakashi smiled at each other, this is Naruto.

Killer Bee leaned down slightly and came in front of Naruto, "To be honest, this answer is not very good, but I barely consider you qualified. Just don't be too naive about some things, kid."

"The training place for the perfect Jinchūriki is on a turtle island. This island is actually a giant turtle. It moves on the sea at any time. If there is no special person to lead the way, it will be impossible to find it. I will arrange someone to take you there."

Finally, Killer Bee looked at Naruto again and said, "Don't let me down, boy."
