Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

Page 170

……

Night falls in the southwestern region of Konoha.

The dark forest was silent. A crescent moon hung in the sky, its light dappled and fragmented by the dense foliage, scattering across the ground.

At the top of a tall, lush ancient tree, its verdant canopy casts a deep shadow.

At that moment, Kakashi was hidden in the shadows of the tree canopy, his ninja attire blending into the night, making him almost one with his surroundings.

He crouched on one knee on a tree branch, his single eye peering through the Sharingan beneath his forehead guard at the area he was responsible for. His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, constantly on alert, never daring to relax for a moment.

A night breeze rustled the leaves, bringing a touch of coolness.

Kakashi took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and kept himself in a state of peak alertness.

"Hoo..." Kakashi let out a soft breath.

Scenes from his previous dream flashed through his mind: Minato had easily defeated Pain, who called himself "God".

In the dream battle, Minato's moves were swift and decisive, and he didn't seem to encounter much trouble, suggesting that Pain was not invincible.

however--

That's only because the one who dealt with Pain was Minato-sensei!

As the leader of the Akatsuki organization, Pain was able to recruit a group of S-rank rogue ninjas to serve him. Even someone as arrogant as Orochimaru was willing to be driven by him, which shows that his strength was extraordinary.

If it were anyone else, how could it be so easy?

But the current Konoha doesn't have a second Minato Namikaze.

If Pain really brings those S-rank rogue ninja to Konoha, it will be a huge disaster!

Tonight, Kakashi is prepared to stay up all night.

Perhaps even Kakashi himself didn't realize that he subconsciously overlooked the possibility of Obito attacking Konoha.

In the silent night, a soft "whoosh" was heard, and a dark shadow suddenly landed on the branch in front of Kakashi!

Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted, and almost reflexively, all the muscles in his body tensed up, his hand instinctively reaching for the kunai at his waist.

"Kakashi-senpai! It's me!" the newcomer reminded him in a low voice.

The silvery moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto his shoulder, revealing a dark face wearing a cat-head mask.

Upon recognizing the newcomer's attire, Kakashi's tense nerves relaxed slightly. He let out a soft sigh and lowered his hand. "What happened?"

The ANBU member quickly reported, "The Hokage has sent me to relieve you. I will be in charge of this area from now on. You've had a long day, please go back and rest immediately."

"...Shift change?" Kakashi was taken aback, momentarily speechless. "I can still handle it, there's no need for a shift change, right?"

Staying up all night to keep watch is commonplace for him; this level of intensity is nothing to him.

"Kakashi-senpai, this is the Hokage's order."

The operative slowly relayed, "He said, 'Tell me to tell you—your first priority is to sleep!'"

Kakashi was taken aback for a moment, then he understood what the Third Hokage meant.

Hokage-sama, this is telling me to go to sleep, so I can see if I can get any information from my dreams tonight?

Having figured things out, Kakashi stopped insisting and waved to the Anbu, "Alright, I'll leave this to you! Please be careful!"

"Understood! Kakashi-senpai, please go and rest!"

Kakashi nodded, and without further delay, he leaped down from the treetop and landed steadily.

Kakashi returned home in no time.

Kakashi didn't dawdle; he rinsed his face with cool water and did a quick wash.

He went into the bedroom and collapsed onto the familiar single bed.

"Sigh, anyway, I should go to sleep first."

Kakashi reached up and pressed his temples, forcing himself to clear his mind.

Indeed, although dreams and reality don't always correspond, the situations in the two worlds diverged due to the life and death of the Fourth Hokage.

But instead of waiting idly, it's better to see if you can get any concrete clues from the dream.

Chapter 160 How to evaluate Tsunade's proposal back then

Kakashi felt a blur before his eyes, and when he came to his senses, he found himself back in the hospital's examination room.

The familiar smell of disinfectant filled the air, and a cool sensation reached my nose.

He looked down and saw that he was sitting upright at the examination table, in the exact same position as when he last entered the dream.

Before her, Tsunade sat upright, flipping through the medical record folder in her hands.

Behind her stood Sakura and Karin, both dressed in white medical gowns, quietly awaiting orders.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting long, thin shadows of them.

Tsunade leaned closer and carefully examined Kakashi's left eye.

After a moment, Tsunade nodded in satisfaction and exclaimed, "Hmm, there was no rejection reaction. The Sharingan is truly amazing; even with a new eye, there are no signs of rejection."

She straightened up and slammed the folder shut. "There's basically no problem. Even if I fight with this eye right now, I'll be fine."

"Yeah……"

Kakashi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and subconsciously raised his hand to lightly touch his left eye.

The Sharingan that Minato-sensei gave him was now firmly embedded in his eye socket.

Compared to Obito's eye, this new Sharingan significantly reduced his chakra requirements, no longer making him feel heavy and tired as before.

This unprecedented feeling of lightness left Kakashi momentarily dazed.

Kakashi nodded solemnly to Tsunade in gratitude: "Thank you, Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade waved her hand, a half-smile playing on her lips: "No need for thanks. To be honest, Karin could handle this kind of minor surgery by herself now. But the Fourth Hokage insisted that I take a look at it for you personally."

She deliberately drew out her words, her almond-shaped eyes sweeping over Kakashi, giving him a once-over, meaningful look. "As expected of the Hokage's prized student~"

"This..." Kakashi didn't react for a moment.

He clearly remembered that when he transplanted Obito's eyes back then, he only had Rin treat the wound simply, and that's how he's used them ever since.

Minato-sensei was so considerate, specially asking Tsunade-sama to examine him?

He was both surprised and moved, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that the usually calm and collected "Copy Ninja" Kakashi was now showing some unease, Sakura couldn't help but cover her mouth and secretly smile.

Seeing Kakashi standing there in a daze, Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Alright, alright, the examination is over. You can go now. I still have to teach them, I don't have time to chat with you!"

"Yes, I apologize for disturbing you, Lady Tsunade."

Kakashi quickly composed himself, stood up, bowed, said goodbye, and turned to walk towards the door.

As he turned around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a row of young female ninjas standing on the other side of the room.

He stopped in surprise, looked up, and saw several girls in white coats standing neatly by the wall not far away.

There were quite a few people, and he knew many of them.

Ino, Tenten, and even Hinata are there...

Kakashi slightly widened his one eye. These children are all female genin from various squads, right? Why are they all gathered here?

……

Inside the VIP audience box.

Obito lay sprawled on the large sofa, utterly listless.

He sank into the soft cushion, his head drooping back, as languid as a soulless puppet.

The bright light from the wide screen shone on his face, but he didn't even bother to glance at it, just staring blankly at the ceiling with utter boredom.

"The good news is, I've finally entered the dream world."

After a long pause, Obito uttered a sentence, muttering to himself in a muffled voice.

"The bad news is that I can only be a spectator again."

Damn it, I entered the dream with Kakashi last time, so why am I thrown back here again this time!

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +500!]

Obito harbored a deep resentment.

To make matters worse, Lin couldn't even see this dream.

He glanced at the screen, chuckled, and said with barely concealed disappointment, "Tch, what a boring dream!"

...

Meanwhile, the regular audience seats were also bustling with activity today.

In front of the huge screen, three familiar figures sat side by side.

Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, compared to Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi's composure, Tsunade, who was entering the audience for the first time, seemed particularly enthusiastic.

"Is this the dream you were talking about?"

Tsunade looked around with great interest, her slender fingers gently stroking the armrest of the seat beneath her.

The seat is made of an unknown black material that feels cool to the touch and has a realistic texture, with even the finest wear marks clearly visible.

"Tsk tsk, they really didn't lie to me!" she exclaimed, raising an eyebrow and her golden eyes filled with surprise. "It really feels so real, just like I was there in person."

[Ding! Tsunade's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]

Jiraiya laughed heartily upon hearing this, then clicked his tongue with a displeased look and said, "Hey Tsunade, how long have you known Naruto? How come you're already in here?"

"You know, I spent a long time with that kid before I was lucky enough to be chosen by the dream and sit in this audience!"

"Oh?" Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya meaningfully, a smirk playing on her lips. "So, does that mean I have a good chance of personally entering the dream world and experiencing it?"

Jiraiya was taken aback by these words.
