Killer B stretched out the Hachibi's tentacles, but Kakashi remained unmoved.
"Brat, let's do it. Bakayarō! Konoyarō!"
Kakashi smiled and said: "Sorry, but now is not the time to fight. If you are interested, I don't mind having a fight with you after the Fourth Shinobi World War."
"Hmph, what a boring guy! Bakayarō! Konoyarō!"
Killer B said, retracting the tentacles.
If Kakashi is not going to fight, then his provocation is meaningless.
"So, when are you going to start guiding Naruto?" Kakashi asked.
"The Kyūbi brat looks pretty good, but I need him to pass the Falls of Truth first before I can guide him to control his Bijū's strength. Bakayarō! Konoyarō!"
"Falls of Truth?" Kakashi frowned slightly when he heard this.
"You can just ask Motoi about it. Okay, I asked King-chan to a sumo match before, so I'll go first. Bakayarō! Konoyarō!"
After Killer B said that, he jumped out of the window and left quickly.
Kakashi shook his head helplessly when he saw this.
"Falls of Truth? It seems to be an interesting place. Let's go and take a look first."
Kakashi muttered to himself and immediately walked to Motoi's room.
"Kakashi-dono? Why are you here? Do you have any orders?" Motoi said in surprise.
"Killer B asked you to take us to the Falls of Truth to complete the first stage of the training."
"Falls of Truth? I understand, then please come with me, Kakashi-dono."
Hearing this, Motoi was not surprised. Apparently, Killer B had already told him about this.
Kakashi called Naruto and Yamato, and followed Motoi to leave the residence.
"Kakashi-sensei, where are we going?" Naruto asked in confusion.
"Go to complete the first stage of your training. After completing this stage, you will be able to see your parents."
Naruto's eyes lit up when he heard this, and exclaimed: "Really? That's great!"
"Don't be happy too early, this training is not that easy."
"Don't worry, Kakashi-sensei, I will definitely complete this training!"
Seeing that Naruto is full of fighting spirit, Kakashi was relieved.
'As long as Naruto stays in this state, there will be nothing in this world that can hold him up.'
'This may also one of Naruto's charms.'
After passing through a small forest, the four quickly reached a small waterfall.
Under the small waterfall is a pool, and in the middle of the water, there is a stone platform.
Motoi pointed to the waterfall and said: "Kakashi-dono, that is the Falls of Truth. As long as you sit cross-legged on the stone platform in the middle, you can see your true self."
"True self?" Kakashi frowned slightly when he heard this, 'That sounds rather fishy.'
Pulling up his forehead protector, his Sharingan spins slightly.
But there was nothing strange about this waterfall.
If there is anything to say, it is that there is a cave behind the waterfall.
His Sharingan spins again, and Kakashi found that there seemed to be a mysterious power in the cave.
'Perhaps it is this mysterious power that leads to the so-called true self.'
"Kakashi-dono, Naruto needs to pass this Falls of Truth to complete the first stage of the training."
"How do I pass it?" Naruto asked curiously.
"It's very simple. As long as you can defeat the true self and exit the true waterfall without any problems, you pass." Motoi explained.
Upon hearing this, Naruto showed an understanding look and said: "So it's like that. It's very simple, let me try."
After Naruto finished speaking, he walked to the stone platform.
Kakashi then said to Naruto: "Naruto, be careful. This training is not as simple as it seems on the surface."
"Don't worry, Kakashi-sensei. I will succeed."
Naruto said with a smile, and then immediately sat cross-legged on the stone platform.
Kakashi didn't stop him, and let him try it first.
This training is not life-threatening.
So even if he fails, he just needs to start all over again.
Kakashi and the others stepped back a little after seeing Naruto sat on the stone platform.
"Kakashi-senpai, is Naruto going to be okay?" Yamato asked worriedly.
After spending some time with Naruto, Yamato understood Naruto's character really well.
Although he is sometimes very reliable, he is also sometimes very unreliable.
"I believe in Naruto. He is not an ordinary person."
Kakashi said softly, looking at the waterfall with curiosity.
He feels that something seems to be calling himself.
Naruto didn't move and seemed to have entered the inner world.
"It seems that Naruto has successfully met his true self." Motoi said.
"Then, it's up to Naruto himself now." Kakashi looked at Naruto's back, looking forward to the result.
Naruto's true self may be hatred.
Although Naruto is like Sun, his tragic experience of childhood has left a shadow in his heart.
Even it can't be seen usually, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
No matter who is it, they will have some hatred if they are being rejected, beaten, or verbally abused by the people in the village since childhood.
And Naruto is no exception.
It's just that in the process of growing up, Naruto met people who led him to the light.
That's why he didn't get into the darkness.
But even if Naruto didn't fell into the darkness, there must be still hatred in his heart.
To completely control the Kyūbi's strength, it is necessary for him to eliminate this hatred.
Because the Kyūbi's strength was originally a collection of hatred, and only with a bright heart can it be perfectly controlled.
At this time, Naruto suddenly screamed, and then half-kneeled on the ground while panting heavily.
'Did he fail?'
Kakashi wasn't surprised at all. After all, it was difficult to succeed in just one try.
"Naruto, how do you feel?"
A sad expression appeared on Naruto's face, and then he said softly: "Kakashi-sensei, there is another me in the waterfall. He is full of hatred towards Konoha. Does my heart really have this hatred? His strength is very strong, and it is comparable to me. I can't beat him at all."
Naruto lowered his head, feeling a little lost. He originally thought that it was a very simple thing to do, but now, it seems that it is very difficult.
Seeing Naruto like this, Kakashi gently placed his wide right hand on top of his head.
Naruto's golden hair is as soft as ever.
Naruto was taken aback, and raised his head to meet Kakashi's eye.
That eye that seemed to be always smiling.
"Naruto, the darkness in your heart is not something terrifying. Everyone has something like that in their hearts. Believe in yourself and face it bravely."
"Kakashi-sensei..."
"Did you forget what I said before? Shinobi are people who use their strength to guard their beliefs."
Hearing this, Naruto was silent for a moment, and then nodded vigorously: "Yes! I understand!"
