At night, Kakashi walked slowly to Minato's house.
Each time he raised his hand to knock on the door, he would hesitate and put it down again.
After repeating this several times, he let out a heavy sigh.
Suddenly, the door swung open, and Naruto's face appeared in Kakashi's line of sight.
Naruto looked at him with dissatisfaction and complained,
"Kakashi-sensei! You're late again! Everyone's been waiting for you forever!"
After saying that, Naruto stepped aside, signaling Kakashi to hurry inside.
Kakashi froze for a moment, then asked suspiciously,
"Naruto, who else is at your house tonight?"
"Of course it's Kaito-senpai!"
"Nani!?"
The moment Kakashi heard Kaito's name, he immediately turned to run.
But a powerful suction came from behind him, yanking him straight into Minato's house. He landed hard on the living room floor.
When he lifted his head, what he saw was Kaito sitting casually on the sofa.
Kaito gave him a half-smile, half-smirk, and said,
"Kakashi, being late is one thing, but what's with trying to run away the moment you arrive?"
Kakashi swallowed nervously, his brain working at full speed. After a long struggle, he forced out,
"Hokage Kaito, I just suddenly remembered I left something at home… I was going back to get it…"
"Oh? You mean this?"
Kaito's gaze flicked to Kakashi's chest, and suddenly a small orange book appeared in his hand—on the back was a large red circle with a diagonal slash through it.
When Kakashi saw the book in Kaito's hand, his exposed eye went wide. He frantically patted himself down, but no matter how much he searched, the book was gone.
Just then Naruto entered the living room. He spotted the book in Kaito's hand and shouted in surprise,
"Eh? Isn't that Kakashi-sensei's favorite—Make-Out Paradise!?"
"…"
Kakashi had been about to bluff his way out, but Naruto's words instantly sealed his fate.
He drooped his head, utterly defeated.
Without paying him any mind, Kaito opened the so-called "masterpiece" under Kakashi's horrified gaze.
Naruto couldn't resist sneaking up behind Kaito to peek as well.
After a while, Naruto's face grew redder and redder.
Kaito, on the other hand, looked unimpressed, occasionally tossing out comments like,
"That's it?"
Kakashi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. This was nothing short of public execution!
Thankfully, Minato's voice rang out just in time,
"Is that Kakashi who's here?"
Kakashi saw his salvation. He leapt to his feet from the floor and shouted,
"Sensei! It's me!"
"You again? Late as usual!"
As Minato spoke, he walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron.
But to Kakashi's despair, Minato walked right up behind Kaito, glanced curiously at the book in his hands, and said,
"Eh? Isn't that Jiraiya-sensei's book? Which volume is this one?"
"…"
Kakashi was on the verge of tears. He regretted bringing the book with him more than anything.
Kaito quickly lost interest as well. Compared to what he'd seen on Earth, the so-called "special content" of this book wasn't worth mentioning.
He tossed the book back toward Kakashi, who clutched it to his chest like a priceless treasure.
Naruto, however, seemed a little disappointed.
"Kaito-senpai, why'd you stop reading? I was just getting to the good part!"
"What's so good about it? If you really want to read it, just get it from Kakashi."
"Oh! Then, Kakashi-sensei—"
"No way!"
Kakashi rejected him instantly and threw a pleading look at Minato.
Minato gave a helpless smile and said to Kaito,
"Kaito, Jiraiya-sensei's books aren't bad, but some of the content really isn't suitable for Naruto right now. He's still a kid."
Kaito rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, yeah. But do you know, your precious son actually created his own jutsu? Even Jiraiya himself once fell victim to it!"
"Nani? Naruto created his own jutsu?"
Minato's expression brightened with pride. His heart swelled, and he couldn't resist boasting a little,
"As expected of my son—it must run in the family!"
With that thought, Minato looked at Naruto with eager eyes and asked,
"Naruto, what's the jutsu you created? Can you show Dad?"
Naruto froze.
He knew exactly which jutsu Kaito was talking about. And to be honest, he was proud of it.
But… showing it to his father? Was that really okay?
If his dad got caught in it, wouldn't that be letting Mom down??
Seeing Naruto hesitate, Minato asked curiously,
"What's wrong, Naruto? Is the jutsu too destructive to demonstrate?"
"…No, that's not it."
Seeing the anticipation in his father's eyes, Naruto didn't want to disappoint him.
He gritted his teeth, formed a hand seal, and shouted,
"Dad, watch closely! This is my original jutsu—Sexy Jutsu!"
"Hm! Hm?! Sexy Jutsu!?"
Poof!
A cloud of smoke burst forth.
In Naruto's place now stood a stunning blonde girl with twin pigtails, completely **bare.
Kakashi, prepared in advance, already had his hand covering his eye.
Minato, however, was bleeding furiously from the nose. He wiped at the blood under his nose and muttered,
"That really is… quite a powerful jutsu!"
...
In a forest,
Itachi and Kisame walked side by side. Itachi's expression was solemn, tinged with a faint trace of expectation.
Kisame tilted his head, glanced at him, and asked,
"Itachi-san, the leader said not to provoke Konoha for now. Are we really okay doing this?"
Itachi narrowed his eyes slightly and replied coolly,
"Kisame, you don't have to follow me. If you want to leave, you can do it now."
"Haha! No way. We're partners, aren't we?"
Itachi said nothing more, only quickened his pace.
He had already heard the news of Kaito's return—and that he'd even become Hokage.
He'd convinced Kisame that he was heading to Konoha to gather intel.
Kaito's existence had always weighed heavily on him.
On the night of the Uchiha massacre, he had wondered more than once:
"If Kaito-senpai were still here… what would he have done?"
Recalling that night, pain flickered across Itachi's eyes.
Kisame noticed and quickly asked,
"Itachi-san, are you alright?"
Itachi shook his head.
"I'm fine. Kisame, when we reach Konoha, don't go in. Our presence together draws too much attention. I'll go alone—it's safer that way."
"But the leader said Uchiha Kaito is extremely dangerous. Are you sure you can handle it alone?"
"Don't worry. Just wait outside to back me up if needed."
"Alright… then be careful."
