Free Web NovelChapter 621: Chapter 481 Naruto and Kakashi
"Wow, Teacher, are you going to marry your fiancé?" Naruto leaned on the table, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Lafra, who was teaching him magic.
"Yeah, your master proposed to me, and we’re getting ready for the wedding in a few days." Lafra smiled happily, glancing at the ring on her finger, her smile sweeter than ever.
"That’s great, I don’t even know who my parents are, the people in the village call me the Demon Fox." Naruto’s mood dipped slightly, even though his carefree nature meant he didn’t usually care too much about what others said.
However, every time he returned to his shabby little house and lay in bed, Naruto had wondered what kind of people his parents were. If they were still alive, would he have a better life? This thought had often made Naruto very upset.
But...
Looking at Lafra patiently explaining the principles of magic, Naruto’s face broke into a happy smile; everything was alright now.
"..." Kakashi stood silently to the side, watching all this. He knew the truth about the situation and who Naruto’s parents were; after all, he and the Fourth Hokage were master and student, so technically Naruto could be considered his teacher’s child.
But even if Kakashi knew, he couldn’t reveal this for now. Naruto’s identity had to be kept secret, and considering how Minato Namikaze was known as the Yellow Flash throughout the Shinobi World for so many years, he must have made numerous enemies. There was always the chance that someone bearing a grudge might want to take their past humiliation out on Naruto after the Fourth’s death, and it was hard to predict such matters.
Therefore, in Konoha, only a handful of people knew Naruto’s true identity.
"Naruto, here’s your curry pork bone ramen; give it a try." Chen Ze yawned as he came out and placed a bowl of ramen in front of Naruto.
"Thanks, Master!" Naruto smiled happily. Whenever he came to this restaurant, any exhaustion and grievances would vanish in an instant. Only here could he experience a sense of unconventional family warmth.
Chen Ze watched the contented Naruto and smiled too. He had gone to bed after 4 a.m. today. Actually, he had planned to go to sleep as soon as possible after proposing yesterday, but he had spent some time dawdling with Lafra, resulting in opening the restaurant only after 2 p.m. today.
When he opened the restaurant, Chen Ze saw that Joichiro Yukihira’s face was dark with annoyance. However, after Chen Ze explained, Joichiro happily gave him a gift, saying it was a wedding present.
"But this thing is quite useful, at least for a chef like me." Chen Ze shrugged his shoulders. Joichiro had given him the recipe book he had promised as a graduation gift, and now Chen Ze felt he could try making many dishes again.
Chen Ze glanced at Kakashi, who was looking at him with a profound gaze. Chen Ze might have thought he had done something weird if he didn’t know better, but he didn’t mind; he knew it must be because of that previous matter.
"Manager, I’m a bit curious, how did you come to know?" Kakashi came over and asked in a low voice.
"Probably because I am a seer?" Chen Ze stroked his chin, knowing that it wouldn’t be appropriate to say he had watched Naruto. Plus, that would be equivalent to just spoiling the story.
"A seer?" Kakashi looked incredulous, but something inside him wavered a bit.
As a member of the Anbu, Kakashi was well aware that one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, the great Toad Sage Jiraiya, had once said that the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myoboku possessed the ability to see through the future. Plus, with the things he had secretly verified before, it was really hard to say whether Chen Ze’s identity was real or fake.
"Yeah, just like I know that Uchiha Obito isn’t dead," Chen Ze glanced at Kakashi, and the current Uchiha Obito had, in a sense, completed his coup, achieving his goal of killing his master.
Chen Ze felt that in the world of Naruto, being a teacher was a very high-risk job. Just look at the Third Hokage, killed by his own pupil, Orochimaru. Although it could be said to have fulfilled the Third Hokage’s wish to die in battle, he was still killed by his pupil after all.
Then there was the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who was sent to his death by his corrupted pupil, Uchiha Obito. Not to mention one of the Legendary Sannin, Jiraiya, and other tragic figures.
That’s why Chen Ze believed that if he were to transmigrate to the world of Naruto, he definitely must not take on disciples. Who knows when his disciple might decide to overthrow him?
However, Naruto didn’t inherit this ’excellent’ tradition, so Chen Ze was quite relieved about that.
"What else do you know that you can tell me?" Kakashi was a bit anxious. He originally thought his friend was dead, but now it seemed like he was still alive? The news was truly astonishing.
The day Kakashi confirmed it, he was all agitated inside. He felt joy, yet also panic, afraid that all of this was an illusion.
"..." Chen Ze was silent for a while, as he pondered whether telling Kakashi about this would bring some strange changes to the subsequent development of the Naruto storyline. But considering that Naruto was now learning magic and was progressing faster and faster, Chen Ze thought that the world of Naruto had probably already collapsed. Speaking of which, telling Kakashi wouldn’t count as interfering with the plot.
"The day the Fourth Hokage died, the Nine-Tails was controlled by Uchiha Obito. So, your teacher died at the hands of your comrade," Chen Ze thought for a while, then decided to tell Kakashi this piece of information.
"..." Kakashi didn’t speak, but his eyes were filled with shock, no longer the lifeless gaze they once had.
Everyone knew that the Fourth Hokage had died, but why the Nine-Tails had caused trouble was always a mystery. So it was Uchiha Obito...
"Uncle, the ramen you make is getting more and more delicious," Naruto said with satisfaction, rubbing his belly. He felt that he was the happiest person in the world right now.
"Haha, as long as you’re happy, Naruto. Want another bowl?" Chen Ze looked at Naruto and asked.
"No need, I’m full. I have to keep learning with my teacher!" Naruto scratched his head, and Chen Ze watched this scene somewhat speechlessly, always feeling that Naruto had picked it up from him. frёewebηovel.cѳm
After all, this gesture and movement of scratching the head were exactly like his own from the past.
"Thank you, Boss. If it weren’t for you, I might never have known about this," Kakashi politely bowed to Chen Ze.
Chen Ze looked at Kakashi, feeling that this guy seemed to have changed into a different person all of a sudden.
