UK:GSW Chapter 314: White Fang Lifts His Blade—Giving His Good Son the Childhood He Missed
Kakashi hid his emotions very well; nothing showed on the surface. And since he was wearing a mask, it was even harder to see anything.
However, this was completely useless against Minato Namikaze standing in front of Kakashi. The golden flash could clearly feel Kakashi's emotional reaction, and this was a skill he had developed after reaching a partnership with the Nine‑Tails and acquiring the Nine‑Tails Chakra Mode.
Originally this was an ability attached to the golden form, but Minato didn't want to only have it while in that form, so he used the sensory experience of the golden form to develop it in his normal state.
Thus he gained an emotional and malice perception skill. Although it wasn't as strong as when in Nine‑Tails Chakra Mode—where he could detect even a hidden White Zetsu—at this close distance it was no problem sensing a normal human.
For example, now, Minato could clearly sense the anger directed at him from Kakashi. This surprised him; he didn't expect Kakashi to be so angry.
But on reflection Minato understood: for this grown‑up Kakashi, Minato Namikaze had long since died. Now that he appeared, Kakashi would naturally think he was an impostor.
Suddenly, Minato felt a little helpless and amused. But there was no helping it—for a traditional shinobi like Kakashi, things like parallel worlds were too high‑level. They were unimaginable, because the shinobi world had near zero theory on it. Only a few people had ever thought about or researched it, a tiny minority far beyond Kakashi's knowledge.
So, without waiting for Kakashi to speak, Minato smiled and said, "Kakashi, if I told you now, you wouldn't believe me. So, let's go! Once you see some things, then I'll explain and you'll immediately understand everything."
Saying this, Minato looked back at the other person who came in with him—his good friend Uchiha Kei. "Kei, I'll take this grown‑up Kakashi to Konoha. He has great distrust of me, and words alone will barely convince him."
Uchiha Kei's clone, who came out of curiosity, nodded with a smile. "Of course. I was just curious to see the grown‑up Kakashi. Now that I've seen him, I should get back to my work."
Minato smiled and nodded, then stepped forward and grabbed Kakashi's shoulder. When Kakashi instinctively tried to resist, the golden mode activated instantly. Then, to Kakashi's shock, he used the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and took Kakashi away.
Uchiha Kei watched and silently sent a message to Sakumo Hatake: "Sakumo‑senpai, the Kakashi from the parallel world is here. Minato brought him back to Konoha. Also, Orochimaru‑senpai says Kakashi, like the Third Hokage and Jiraiya‑senpai, has been exposed to too much lecherous stuff, so he's kidney‑deficient. And he's 31 and still single."
"If nothing goes wrong, this parallel world Kakashi might be single for life, and the Hatake family in that world may end up with no heir."
After sending it, Sakumo soon replied, simply: "I know, thank you, Lord Kei."
However, knowing Sakumo's character, Uchiha Kei was sure Sakumo was now brewing anger, and both the parallel world Kakashi and the main world Kakashi were in for it.
Hee‑hee, I want to see rivers of blood.jpg.
Of course, the fun could only be watched by the main body. This clone had other things to do, so he went to find Orochimaru and the others.
On the other side, Minato had already brought Kakashi to Konoha and was standing atop a newly built landmark building—a thirty-two‑floor tower in Konoha's new district, the tallest building in the shinobi world.
More tall buildings would surely appear in the future shinobi world, and this twenty‑four‑floor tower would be nothing. But in this era it was revolutionary, representing progress in construction technology and productivity.
Of course, at present these technologies and productivity could only be achieved in Konoha. Other places couldn't be said to be unable to build such buildings, but they would be wonders, not something casually built.
For Konoha, the significance of this building was mostly symbolic. The manpower and material it consumed were nothing to Konoha. In fact, it could be a big profit.
After all, they built it to sell it. So far many businesses had moved into it, and most of the apartment area had been sold. The cost of construction had long been recovered, and now it was making a big profit.
Of course, none of this economic stuff mattered to Minato and Kakashi now. For Kakashi, the first feeling on being brought here was that the sun was bright, the wind was strong, and then came shock.
Because, looking out from this height, Konoha's situation was clear, and the iconic Hokage Rock was directly visible.
That familiar yet unfamiliar aerial view of Konoha made Kakashi's pupil shake. His face showed disbelief. "How is this possible? This place… what exactly is…"
Minato smiled and stood beside Kakashi. "To you, Kakashi, this is the Leaf of another shinobi world. And I am the Minato Namikaze of that 'other shinobi world'."
Hearing this, Kakashi's body trembled. The mouth under his mask pursed before he felt his throat dry and asked, "Can… you tell me what's going on? …Teacher."
Minato nodded. "Of course, Kakashi. Though in this world, I'm not the Fourth Hokage and can't be, in every world I'm still your teacher."
Minato then explained about the parallel worlds and time travel. With his mindset adjusted, Kakashi quickly understood everything without rejecting Minato's words.
After all, Kakashi was a true top genius. Even though he had wasted his talent for various reasons and had kidney deficiency, his mind was still top-class.
Purely in terms of brains, this guy was described in the setting as stronger than Uchiha Itachi, who kept being patched by Kishimoto.
After understanding, Kakashi could only feel incredulous. But the facts were before him. He even secretly used his Sharingan to check if he was under a genjutsu.
After confirming everything was real, Kakashi could only accept that what he saw was indeed real.
"It's really unbelievable—there's actually such a thing in this world…"
Kakashi couldn't hide his amazement. He felt like he was in a dream or under a genjutsu, but everything he perceived was so real—far beyond the realism of Itachi's Tsukuyomi.
Having experienced Tsukuyomi, Kakashi could clearly say that although Tsukuyomi's sensations were very realistic, his Sharingan could feel the falsity in it.
Then, suddenly thinking of something, Kakashi hesitated and then asked, suppressing his nervousness, "Sensei… may I ask, in this world, besides me, who else are your students?"
Minato Namikaze: "Hm? You care about that? I don't know if it's the same as in your world. Naruto and the others didn't say. If you want to know, it's fine. I've only got three students: you, and the other two are Rin Nohara and Obito Uchiha. I don't know if that's the same as your side."
Kakashi's body trembled. He wanted to say something, but the flood of thoughts and memories hit him, making him unable to respond.
In the end he could only nod.
Seeing Kakashi's reaction, Minato immediately understood. His smile faded and he softly asked, "So in the other world, not only did your sensei and sensei's wife pass away—Rin and Obito were sacrificed too?"
Kakashi painfully closed his eyes and answered in a hoarse whisper, "The Third Shinobi World War… Rin and Obito both died…"
Minato: "I see… the Shinobi World War again…"
He sighed and looked at Kakashi with a trace of pity and helplessness. "So, Kakashi, is that why you chose to be dissolute?"
Kakashi's body trembled. He looked down, ashamed. "Sorry, sensei. I disappointed you…"
Minato shook his head. "No, I'm not blaming you. Besides, there's someone else even more disappointed in you than me. Kakashi, you're going to have to face his anger next."
He said this with a helpless tone, giving Kakashi a feeling of "I can't help you."
Kakashi froze, not understanding whose anger he had to face. He thought it might be Kushina Uzumaki, since she, as a mother, would have reason to be angry at how lonely Naruto's childhood was. After all, if Kakashi had bothered to look after Naruto when he was young, Naruto wouldn't have been so lonely. And with the Third Hokage's character, he wouldn't have refused to let Kakashi approach Naruto. Instead, Kakashi chose "self‑imposed exile," joining ANBU to take high‑risk missions, looking self‑destructive.
By the time Might Guy pulled Kakashi out of that self‑destructive state, Naruto had already passed his youngest years, entered the academy, had Iruka to care and accompany him, and met Shikamaru and other classmates and friends who didn't discriminate against him.
One could say that although Kakashi had his reasons, they weren't an excuse for not looking after Naruto as a child. Kushina would have every reason to be mad.
Thinking of this made Kakashi even more ashamed and sad. He steeled himself to face Kushina's anger.
But suddenly a cold voice full of anger broke Kakashi's assumption.
"Kakashi, I'm very disappointed in you."
Kakashi's body froze. His eyes widened, showing disbelief. Then he stiffly turned his head.
He froze again. The voice was exactly like his father's, but the appearance was that of another weathered man, completely different from his father.
However, although the appearance was different, the cold, stern eyes and the sharp aura like a blade were both familiar and unfamiliar to Kakashi.
Especially when he met those angry, disappointed eyes, Kakashi instinctively felt shame, and he looked away, not daring to meet them. "Who… who are you?"
The visitor didn't answer. He took a deep breath, forcing down his anger at Kakashi's failure to live up to expectations, and turned to Minato. "Minato‑kun, can you take him and me to the furthest training ground? I want to 'properly' talk to him and see how his Hatake sword technique is."
Minato nodded, indicating that was fine. After all, it was a father disciplining his son. He shouldn't interfere.
Besides, Minato was rather happy to see it. After learning about Naruto's childhood and knowing the parallel world Kakashi was still alive, how could he not feel resentment and displeasure toward Kakashi?
But although he could not say much because Kakashi was also pitiful, not being able to confront him didn't mean he wouldn't be happy to see Kakashi get a lesson.
Since Sakumo Hatake wanted to discipline his unfilial son, Minato was naturally happy to oblige.
Thus, in Kakashi's confusion and astonishment, Minato took the unrecognized father and son to Konoha's most distant training ground. No one else was using it today, so Minato simply put up a notice that the training ground was in use and activated its barrier, ensuring no one else would come. He left father and son plenty of private time to "make up for" the lack of companionship.
All very considerate.
At this moment, Kakashi was more and more bewildered and more and more flustered—so nervous that his palms were sweating. He felt a kind of fear he couldn't describe. This was something that even facing Orochimaru or Uchiha Itachi hadn't given him.
Kakashi had no idea what this feeling was. He only had the urge either to run away or obediently take a beating.
Mm. If a man who had experienced a complete childhood knew Kakashi's state, he would pat him on the shoulder with a laugh and say, "Don't be nervous. This is something most naughty kids go through—the iron‑fist love of a father."
Then Kakashi watched as the mysterious man took out a sealing scroll and summoned a weapon rack, on which were various types of swords.
The man then spoke. "Now, pick the weapon you think suits you, then use the Hatake sword style to fight me. Remember, fight with the resolve to kill me. Otherwise, get ready to lie in bed for a while afterward!"
