While Naruto listened to the villagers and heard about the 'Hatake Sakumo Incident', Li Yaoxiang also saw the picture he most wanted to see through the crystal ball!

...….

Hokage Residence. Hokage room.

A masked Anbu ninja was reporting to Sarutobi Hiruzen about Naruto. And this Anbu ninja was one of the people who monitored Naruto's every move for 24 hours.

"Lord-Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto is now on the street, asking about Kakashi. Before this, a very strange thing also happened. He cooked dishes that had never been in the village. We can't determine what is going on. Please personally decide."

Sarutobi Hiruzen brows tightly frowned. Before this, someone had already reported to him about the anomaly of Naruto. The old close friends of Shimura Danzo also reflected this to him from time to time.

Who taught these to Naruto? And who taught Naruto then the orthodox main body technique? It is impossible to learn by yourself!

Now, even more outrageous!

Perhaps it was possible to give a reason and justify it. Could it be Minato's leftover chakra or Naruto's extraordinary talent? The question is, is this really possible? Can Minato's chakra last for so long? Well, even if it can. What about these so-called new dishes today? How do you explain this? He is still a 7 years old child. Can it be done?

So, it's Kushina's turn to teach Naruto how to cook?

The more you think, the more you feel it's outrageous.

The more complex Sarutobi Hiruzen's mood became.

Recently, in this period of time, Uchiha Clan's 'coup-d'état' problem has made him very upset. But, of course, he didn't expect such a thing to happen with Naruto again... He couldn't make a decision immediately but sighed helplessly and then instructed: "Call Kakashi to come to me and say that I have something to see him."

"Sir!"

.... Not long after, Kakashi came to the Hokage room. Even with the Anbu mask, Sarutobi could feel his coldness as always.

When Kakashi saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, he didn't even say a word. He just continued to stand there, waiting for instructions. The atmosphere in the Hokage room was a bit cold. The two faced each other and looked straight at them for a while.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Kakashi, it's been so many years. Minato's son; you haven't seen him much, right?"

"Lord-Hokage, what's the matter? Please ask directly."

"..." There was a moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer circumscribed. "Naruto is now on the street, asking about something about you. I hope you will meet him; ask why he is suddenly interested in you and how does he know about you."

Kakashi didn't even answer 'yes'. He turned and left the Hokage room. Sarutobi Hiruzen gazed at Kakashi's leaving back. He remained silent for a long time. Another sigh, then turn around towards the Konoha scenery outside the window.

....

And through the crystal ball, Li Yaoxiang, who sees the whole process insight, smiled faintly. That's right. This is what he wants to see the most! At the same time, this was also the first step in Li Yaoxiang's Third Step plan!

The previous reason to meet Naruto in the consciousness space and every subsequent decision, including teaching Naruto's peculiar exercise methods, teaching Naruto's refined basic main body technique, 'self-cooking, and now inducing Naruto to seek the truth with great fanfare and so on.

The purpose is here!

This is all for making his own existence appear in everyone's field of vision step by step! But, of course, the "him" mentioned here is the identity of the big brother in Naruto's consciousness space, not his main body.

The purpose is to let the field of view of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others be locked back to Naruto! Only in this way, this group of very ruthless elders will one step further attack Naruto! Only in this way will Naruto really appreciate the nasty side of the village. Rather than just listening to 'the story of others' as it is now. It won't be just a little bit of trouble anymore!

Obviously, the first link has been successfully reached.

Li Yaoxiang's action just seemed a big mistake on the surface, but actually on purpose. This time, the identity of 'big brother' was deliberately exposed. In addition to the above reasons, this is also related to his subsequent layout!

If there is no accident, he can wait until the whole thing is over.

This is the beginning of his manipulation of the whole game! ...

Konoha Village, on a street.

Naruto shook the sleeve of a fish-selling uncle and said, "Eh~ Uncle Eagle, just tell me what happened?"

"Go go go, don't bother me with that. How can I remember such a long time?" As he said this, suddenly uncle Eagle looked like hell. He spoke towards behind Naruto: "K... Kaka... Kakashi-sama, hello! By the way, Naruto. Just ask Kakashi-sama directly. I'm still busy, so I'm leaving now!"

After finishing talking, Uncle Eagle pretended to be busy closing the stalls and stopped talking to Naruto.

And Naruto turned around. He looked at his father's former student, Hatake Kakashi!

At the moment, Kakashi was not wearing an Anbu mask. When he saw Naruto, his first reaction was... no response. His heart was very complicated, but he did not reveal his emotions on the surface.

The instant that both sides met, they stood there stunned, for a while, really did not know what to say. So the two kept a certain distance in this way and look directly at the other side for a long time.

In the end, Kakashi, who was an adult, broke the awkward atmosphere first: "Naruto, right? I used to be your father's student..."

"You don't need to say it. I understand this."

Kakashi: ...

Naruto: ...

"Sorry, I haven't come to visit these years ..."

"You don't have to. My father is close to you, not me. You're not obliged to take care of me, so you don't owe me anything."

Kakashi: ...

Naruto: ...

Even the ruthless Kakashi was so confused by Naruto that he didn't know how to deal with this situation.

Immediately, he expressed his expression. He winked, gesturing to the monitoring Anbu to left them alone. After this group of Anbu ninjas has left, he relaxed his expression. And when he looked towards Naruto again, it was replaced by a look towards the juniors.

Kakashi: "I heard that... you are asking about me? If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. I will be happy to tell you."
