The party became more enthusiastic due to the participation of Naruto and others.
After nearly three years of absence, the friendship between Naruto and the others did not become weird. They are still friends who can mess around together.
Outside, they are the respected Chunin and Jōnin, but here, they are just companions.
A group of fifteen and sixteen-year-old teenagers were eating and chatting, and the Kakashi's house, which has always been empty for a long time, was filled with the festivities.
Kakashi and the others old people are sitting in another part of the courtyard. Although they are not far apart, they still keep a little distance.
After all, they are elders, so if they are too close, these young people will inevitably feel a little restrained.
And if they're too far away, it would seem a little estranged. So this distance, which is not far or near, was just right.
Jiraiya looked at the frolicking teenagers in the courtyard and took a sip of sake with a smile on his face.
"Sure enough, Konoha feels like home the most. I haven't seen this scene for a long time."
"Yeah, it really makes me miss those times." Tsunade said with a reddish cheek.
Of course, the blushes on her cheeks are not because Tsunade is shy, but because she has already drunk ten bottles of sake.
Upon seeing this, Shizune who is on the side quickly persuaded: "Tsunade-sama, you shouldn't drink too much. You still have work tomorrow."
"Shizune, you should stop persuading me and just have fun." Tsunade said softly, so that Shizune cannot argue with her.
At this time, Tsunade seems to be extremely weak.
Perhaps under the gentle moonlight, she removed her strong appearance.
"Kakashi! Let's compete on drinking! Let's see who can drink the most!"
Guy proposed another youthful showdown, but Kakashi refused.
"Guy, today is not suitable for a competition. This sake has to be tasted slowly."
Kakashi said while pouring the sake from the glass directly into his throat.
The sake is very light and when it fell into Kakashi's mouth, it feels a little sweet.
Kakashi rarely drinks alcohol, because as a Shinobi, drinking alcohol tends to paralyze his perception.
Therefore, Kakashi almost never drunk.
It's just that on this occasion, if he didn't drink a little alcohol, he would feel that something is missing.
"Kakashi, this scene now reminds me of the time that when Minato was still alive. We often come to you to hold parties together. At that time, Kushina was like Naruto now, very noisy, and Mikoto was like Hinata now, taking care of others gently. Guy and you are like Lee and Neji now, one is passionate, the other loves to ignore. Kurenai and Asuma are just as shy as the current Jūgo and Tenten, talking shyly at each other. Haha, the reincarnation of fate is really wonderful."
Jiraiya pointed to the frolicking teenagers in the field and said the past one by one, as if seeing the past scene again.
Hearing this, Kakashi smiled as he also remembered the scene that Jiraiya just said.
At that time, Minato was like his current self. He was sitting on the side and quietly looked at everyone.
Kushina was always drunk, but Minato never stopped her, but in the end, he always silently carried Kushina back.
At that time, because of Obito and Rin's deaths, Kakashi was very depressed.
Therefore, Minato often hold a party in Kakashi's house.
One of the reasons is because Kakashi's house is big enough, and the other reason is to comfort Kakashi's lonely and self-blaming heart.
Kakashi is a genius, so he naturally knows why Minato are doing this.
It's just that those kinds of pain are not that easy to heal.
In the end, he failed to live up to Minato's kindness.
After drinking three glasses of sake, Kakashi seemed to see those familiar figures again.
"Jiraiya-sama." Kakashi suddenly whispered softly.
"Hmm?"
Jiraiya who was originally drinking stopped and looked at Kakashi.
"I will not let this warmth be destroyed by anyone, no one can."
Jiraiya was stunned when he heard this. He then lifted his glass and drank it and then said with a smile: "Hahaha, this is also what I protect."
Jiraiya then looked at Naruto who is in the field. In the past two years, Jiraiya has felt that Naruto has the strength that was different from ordinary people.
Not Chakra, nor the Kyūbi, but the heart that is enough to change the Shinobi World.
He is already convinced that Naruto is the person he is looking for.
The Child of the Prophecy.
Kakashi looked at the bright moon in the sky and it is unknown what he was thinking.
At this time, Naruto ran over and said: "Kakashi-sensei, Ero-Sennin, Tsunade baa-chan, it is too boring for you three to just drink here. Come and play with us!"
"Hmph, I don't want to play with you brats, it's boring." Tsunade said disdainfully and took another drink.
"Tsunade baa-chan is really boring." Naruto complainly said.
Tsunade didn't pay any attention to what Naruto said. After all, she finally could drink like this, so how could she give it up.
"Nee, Kakashi-sensei, Ero-Sennin, are you two interested?"
Naruto opened his aqua-blue eyes wide and looked at Kakashi and Jiraiya.
Almost at the same time, Kakashi and Jiraiya saw a familiar figure in those eyes.
'Minato/Minato-sensei...'
"Hahaha, Naruto, what do you want to do?" Jiraiya said while laughing loudly.
"Yeah, Naruto, what do you want to do." Kakashi also smiled.
"It's very simple! Since we're shinobi, of course it's a Shinobi game!"
After Naruto said that, he formed a hand seal with both hands hand, and created ten shadow clones.
Each shadow clones held a kunai engraved with the word 'Shinobi'.
"I will use the shadow clone to place these ten kunai in every corner of the village, and those who find it the most will win. And the one who didn't get any kunai must clean up the courtyard, what do you say?"
Hearing this, Kakashi smiled and said: "The idea is good, but there is a problem with the way of hiding the kunai."
"What is the problem?"
Naruto said, feeling a little cautious.
"If you're using your shadow clones to hide it, wouldn't you know the kunai is hidden? Naruto, I already taught you about the special effect of the Shadow Clone Technique, so how can I agree to that." Kakashi smiled maliciously.
"Really? The Shadow Clone Technique has such a function. Hahaha, I forgot." Naruto said and scratched his yellow hair while laughing awkwardly.
Everyone present then looked at Naruto with contempt.
"Well, if that is the case, then hiding the kunai will be done by me."
Kakashi said as he also created ten shadow clones, and then make them dispersed.
"Well, the rule will be like this. As long as you can find one, you don't need to clean this place."
Kakashi showed his own Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) kunai, indicating that this is what they need to find.
Everyone nodded when they saw this.
"There are a total of ten kunai and you are a total of fifteen people, so at least five people must stay to clean this place. After ten minutes, the game will start. The duration is one hour, and the game location is the Forest of Death! Let's go everyone."
"Okay!"
Everyone answered in unison.
