Somewhere in the Land of Fire, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and the others have completed the Tsuchigumo Clan's mission.
During the period, they got to know the Rokubi's Jinchūriki, Utakata, as well as his student, Hotaru.
At this time, everyone is on their way back.
"The relationship between Utakata and Hotaru is really enviable," Sakura said.
"Yeah, I believe that Utakata and Hotaru's journey from now on will be very enjoyable. It is a good thing to have a teacher. I kind of miss Kakashi-sensei and Ero-Sennin." Naruto said with a smile.
A smile appeared on Sasuke's stern face.
Yes, the others have a teacher, and he also has a teacher.
And his teacher is even better.
"Hey, Sasuke, seeing your expression, do you have the same thoughts as me?" Naruto quickly discovered the strange expression on Sasuke's face, and immediately asked.
"Idiot, who would have the same thoughts as you?" Sasuke denied it on the spot.
"What? That kind of expression, it's just like me thinking of Kakashi-sensei. It must be because you don't want to admit it."
"I didn't think of that!"
"You didn't admit it!"
The two started their daily fight again.
Seeing this, Sakura can only sigh, 'These two guys are still the same as ever.'
Yamato smiled when he watched the two arguing, and felt a little envious in his heart.
He grew up in the Root and Anbu, so he didn't have such an experience.
'Kakashi-senpai's students are really enviable.' Yamato secretly thought in his heart.
"Yamato-taichou, don't mind it. The two of them are always ."
"It's fine. Young people should have this kind of energy. Well, let's hurry back to the village."
The group of four people then traveled back to Konoha.
Konoha, Hokage Tower.
Several people are inside the Hokage Office at this time.
Jiraiya is covered with blood and looked very weak. Fukasaku is sitting on the table, and Tsunade is healing Jiraiya.
Looking at the severed arm, Tsunade's eyes turned hot.
"Idiot, why are you so reckless!"
Jiraiya scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Hahaha, I was just too careless."
Tsunade punched the top of Jiraiya's head and tears slipped quietly from her eyes.
Jiraiya was taken aback, and said softly: "Tsunade..."
"Don't try to be cool next time," Tsunade said softly.
The green Chakra was covering Jiraiya's wounds.
Time seems to have entered a static state.
And on the ground, a person was lying and not moving.
With silver-white hair and a scar on his left eye, he looked very peaceful at this moment.
He was lying still on the ground!
It was at this time that the door of the Hokage Office was pushed open.
"Tsunade baa-chan! We have completed the S-rank mission. This time, you must make me a Chunin!"
Naruto exclaimed excitedly.
The one who came in is naturally Team 7.
"Ero-Sennin?" Naruto was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that Jiraiya would be here right now.
What surprised Naruto even more was that Jiraiya looked exhausted. He had never seen Jiraiya like that before.
"Naruto, you are back." Jiraiya muttered softly.
At this time, Sasuke's pupils shrank as his gaze fell on Kakashi who is lying on the ground.
Sasuke's voice caught Sakura and Naruto's attentions.
They also saw Kakashi who is lying on the ground at this time.
"Why did Kakashi-sensei lie on the ground? Is he asleep? Aren't his injuries still not healed yet? Hah, he's really making people worry." Sakura complained, and walked towards Kakashi and tried to pick him up.
But when Sakura touched Kakashi's body, she was shocked.
'That cold touch feeling...'
Sakura hastily retreat a few steps with a look of panic.
"Sakura, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly back away like that?" Naruto asked in confusion.
"Kakashi-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, he..."
"What happened to Kakashi-sensei? Is he too heavy? I'll help you."
Naruto said, and stepped forward to help pick Kakashi up.
At this time, Jiraiya said: "Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura. Kakashi... is dead."
Hearing this, it was like a bold of lightning fell into their hearts.
"Ero-Sennin! What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't Kakashi-sensei right here? You put him on the floor, that's why he is cold. Isn't that right, Sasuke? How come Kakashi-sensei die?"
Sasuke didn't answer Naruto's words, his eyes turned bloodshot, and at the same time, the scarlet Sharingan instantly emerged and his gaze landed on Kakashi's body.
'This is Kakashi-sensei's real body!'
'There is no heartbeat!'
Seeing Sasuke's appearance, Naruto had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Sasuke! Why did you suddenly look like that? Do you really believe that Kakashi-sensei is dead? That is impossible!"
Sasuke's eyes widened and said nothing, but the bloodshot eyes in his pupils grew more and more.
Seeing that Sasuke ignored him, Naruto turned to look at Jiraiya again.
"Ero-Sennin, you should stop playing around. Kakashi-sensei is not dead, right?"
Hearing this, Jiraiya revealed his severed left arm, and the blood stains all over his body.
Naruto was taken aback when he saw this, 'Those kind of injuries, did Ero-Sennin has just experienced a big battle?
"Naruto, I found the location of the Akatsuki's leader and went to investigate it. I had a fight with the Akatsuki's leader, Pain. However, I was defeated and my left arm was severed by him. At that time, Kakashi came to rescue me. The final result is that he saved me, but he himself..."
"No... how could it be. Kakashi-sensei is so powerful, so how can he die? This must be fake!"
Sasuke rushed forward and grabbed Jiraiya's collar and shouted angrily, "Where is that man! I'm going to kill him!"
His scarlet Sharingan was full of murderous intent at this time.
"Sasuke-kun, calm down."
Sakura quickly grabbed Sasuke, but Sasuke was unmoved.
"Sasuke, although you are pretty strong, you've still got a long way to go before you can fight Pain. You will just die if you fight him now."
Sasuke said again, but this time his voice was cold, as if it was from the ninth layer of Hell.
Jiraiya was stunned. At this moment, inside Sasuke's scarlet eyes, the three tomoe were spinning very fast, and soon formed a new pattern!
In an instant, blood and tears overflowed from Sasuke's eyes!
And then, Sasuke fainted directly.
Sakura was taken aback, and quickly hugged Sasuke.
After a series of changes, Naruto was immediately stunned.
The ice-cold body on the ground, fainting Sasuke, the seriously injured Jiraiya, and the tearing Tsunade.
It seems that all of this is telling Naruto.
All of this in front of him is real.
Kakashi is really dead...
Naruto slumped on the ground in despair and his tears fell silently.
