Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

Page 158

Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped his pipe, stared intently at Kakashi, and asked in a deep voice, "Kakashi, what's going on?"

Faced with Hiruzen Sarutobi's questioning,

Kakashi was speechless for a moment.

He fell silent, opening his mouth but not knowing how to answer.

Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's white brows furrowed involuntarily.

He knew Kakashi's personality well; the Konoha elite Jonin in front of him was calm and collected, and would never be so hesitant and indecisive.

The more silent Kakashi remained, the more uneasy he felt: Could it be that Kakashi had been subjected to some kind of control jutsu?

The mastermind behind it all manipulated Kakashi, but then deliberately let him come back?

Otherwise, how can we explain this unusual situation—the information just sent back by Naruto and the others said that Kakashi was trapped in an alternate dimension and couldn't escape, but in the blink of an eye, he ran back on his own and seemed to be completely unharmed.

This is absolutely unreasonable!

The thought that this mysterious enemy could even manipulate the Nine-Tails made me wonder if they had secretly controlled Kakashi...

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression suddenly turned cold; he had already quietly prepared for the worst.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, Kakashi took a deep breath and suddenly looked up, breaking the silence: "Hokage-sama, I have important information to report!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback by what he heard, then waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Go ahead and speak, I'm listening."

After receiving approval, Kakashi did not hesitate any longer and immediately reported everything he had experienced in the past two days, without reservation.

When Kakashi's voice fell, the office fell into a deathly silence.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Kakashi kneeling on the ground, speechless for a long time.

He slowly removed the pipe from his mouth, his aged fingers trembling slightly: "You...you mean—Obito Uchiha was the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' rampage?!"

……

On the other side, in Konoha Village, now Naruto's home.

Tsunade followed Jiraiya all the way to the front of the house. When she looked up at the small but cozy residence, she was slightly taken aback: "Isn't this... the Fourth Hokage's house?"

Her tone was tinged with surprise, and a complex expression flashed in her amber eyes.

Jiraiya stood beside her, gazing at the familiar little house before him, his expression filled with melancholy.

He nodded slightly and sighed, “That’s right. This is Minato’s house. And the child you need to see on this trip lives here—he is Minato and Kushina’s son.”

"what?!"

Tsunade was taken aback by what she heard and turned to stare at Jiraiya, almost doubting that she had misheard.

Chapter 152 Karin doesn't seem to be awake yet! Let's go check on Sasuke first!

The door opened, and Naruto peeked out. Seeing two figures standing outside, he immediately exclaimed joyfully, "Perverted Sage! You're back!"

His gaze then fell on the blonde woman beside Jiraiya, and he couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity, "Who is this...?"

Jiraiya laughed heartily and waved his hand enthusiastically, introducing, "Naruto, this is Tsunade, one of the famous legendary Sannin!"

At this point, he lowered his voice and added, "She is also a master of medical ninjutsu who can heal any injury."

"W-What?!" Naruto's eyes widened in shock as he looked the beautiful woman in front of him up and down. "Is this the female ninja who can heal any injury?!"

Tsunade nearly rolled her eyes at Naruto's use of the term "big sister," her pretty face hardening as she crossed her arms in an annoyed tone: "Hey, kid, who are you calling 'big sister'!"

"Ah, sorry!" Naruto belatedly scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "I just got excited and couldn't help it..."

Looking at the blond, blue-eyed boy in front of her, Tsunade was slightly startled: Is this cheerful and sunny brat the son of Minato and Kushina?

He really looks like Minato...

A complex look flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her previous arrogance.

Seeing Naruto's sheepish smile and apologetic expression, Tsunade's expression softened slightly, and she gave a "humph" in response.

Jiraiya nodded in satisfaction, and was about to bring up Karin's apprenticeship: "By the way, Naruto, quickly call Karin—"

However, before he could finish speaking, Naruto suddenly slapped his forehead, interrupting Jiraiya and excitedly shouting, "That's right! Sasuke's leg can be saved!! With Tsunade-sama here, Sasuke's injury will definitely be healed soon!"

He looked at Tsunade with an urgent expression, "Lady Tsunade, please come to the hospital with me right away! Sasuke's leg injury can't be delayed any longer!"

Caught off guard, Tsunade stumbled a step when Naruto pulled her along, her big eyes widening in surprise: "Hey! What hospital? I didn't say I had to work when I got back!"

She is Tsunade, the dignified Senju, not some lowly doctor who can be ordered around by anyone!

Seeing this, Jiraiya quickly stepped forward, grabbed Tsunade's shoulder, pulled her aside, and whispered, "Please, Tsunade! If you want to enter that dream, you have to get on good terms with Naruto first! Saving someone is just a piece of cake for you, isn't it?"

Tsunade's eyebrows furrowed, and she was about to refute him, but then she thought about it again and realized that Jiraiya's words also made sense.

Her main purpose in coming back was to experience the so-called magical dream of "seeing old friends".

If we don't make a good impression on this kid, it probably won't be so easy for him to get involved.

Moreover, treating her injuries was really nothing to her.

Thinking of this, Tsunade grunted and reluctantly nodded: "Hmph... alright!"

Overjoyed to receive Tsunade's permission, Naruto immediately grabbed her and rushed to the hospital. Jiraiya had no choice but to follow behind. The three of them hurried towards Konoha Hospital.

Naruto was filled with anticipation.

When Naruto visited Sasuke in the hospital over the past few days, although Sasuke seemed indifferent on the surface, Naruto could still sense that Sasuke was actually very concerned about whether he could make it to the Chunin Exams soon.

With the exam date fast approaching, he didn't want Sasuke to miss the opportunity because of his injury!

On the way, Jiraiya stroked his chin in confusion and couldn't help but ask, "Where's Karin? I haven't seen her with us."

Naruto, who was hurrying along, scratched his head upon hearing this and replied nonchalantly, "Karin doesn't seem to be up yet! Never mind her, healing Sasuke is the priority!"

Jiraiya rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

"Hey, Naruto,"

He stood with his hands on his hips, glaring at his impatient disciple, and said, half-teasingly and half-reproachfully, "Aren't you a little too concerned about Sasuke? You've completely forgotten about some important matters, haven't you?"

"Huh?" Naruto was taken aback, his steps slowing slightly as he turned to Jiraiya with a blank expression. "What important matter is it?"

Jiraiya sighed with feigned helplessness and clicked his tongue: "I thought someone had brought back such a remarkable medical ninja to introduce him to someone as a master... but now he only has eyes for Sasuke and has completely forgotten about that."

Naruto opened his mouth, then retorted confidently, "Sasuke was injured after all! Although he's a bit clumsy and likes to pretend, he's still a comrade!"

Naruto looked completely at ease at that moment.

Jiraiya was speechless for a moment when he saw Naruto's expression.

He looked his apprentice up and down, his expression a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Tsunade, who was walking ahead, had long been impatient with the two of them dawdling. She ignored their bickering and turned back to urge them, "What are you two dawdling for? Hurry up and catch up. I don't have time to walk with you!"

"Coming, coming!" Naruto quickly responded and quickened his pace to catch up.

Jiraiya shook his head, glanced at Naruto who still had nothing but Sasuke on his mind, and decided not to say anything more, quickly following after him.

After a rapid journey, the group arrived at Konoha Hospital in no time.

Naruto ran up to the second floor of the inpatient ward, pushed open the ward door and shouted, "Sasuke! Great! Your leg can be saved!"

Naruto's loud voice echoed in the hospital corridor, causing patients and their families in other wards to frown and look at him sideways.

The nurse on duty in the room ran over upon hearing the noise and scolded Naruto angrily, "Hey! This is a hospital, no loud noises allowed!"

Naruto shrank back, quickly waving his hands with an embarrassed smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Sasuke Uchiha, who was resting on the bed, was also woken up by Naruto.

Seeing Naruto standing panting at the door and the unfamiliar blonde woman beside him, Sasuke was slightly taken aback: "Naruto?"

"I don't need your introduction, I'll explain myself." Tsunade strode into the ward and looked Sasuke up and down.

Although Sasuke's face was somewhat pale, he was in good spirits. His left leg was wrapped in a thick plaster cast and lay flat on the bed.

Tsunade frowned and stepped forward, gently pressing on the area of ​​her leg outside the cast to assess the injury.

Upon examining the wound, she was speechless: "Just this minor injury? Was it really necessary to make such a fuss and call me over here?"

Hearing her say that, Sasuke looked away somewhat embarrassed.

Naruto, however, disregarded all that and pleaded shamelessly, "Lady Tsunade, please don't look down on his minor injury! Even the smallest injury is serious for Sasuke! After all, the Chunin Exams are starting in a few days, and if he recovers slowly, he definitely won't be able to make it to the exams... So please, you must help him! Please!"

Tsunade was getting impatient and was about to explode when she suddenly remembered Jiraiya's earlier instructions—

If you want to participate in the dream, you have to get along well with this little devil.

She suppressed her displeasure, walked to the bedside, and said in a deep voice, "Fine, let's get treatment done, so you won't keep making a fuss!"

After saying that, she bent down and placed her palm on Sasuke's left leg, which was in a cast. A soft, emerald-green chakra quickly gathered in her palm.

Sasuke felt a warm energy seep through the plaster into his flesh and bones, and a strange tingling sensation came from the broken bone that had been aching slightly, and the pain quickly subsided.

Before long, Tsunade withdrew her hand, not even a drop of sweat on her forehead, clearly indicating that this treatment was effortless for her.

She turned to Sasuke and said calmly, "Alright. You can walk tomorrow, and in two or three days at most, your leg injury will be completely healed."

Sasuke was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Although the cast has not been removed and he cannot confirm it with his own eyes, he truly felt the tingling and warm sensation during the treatment.

He bowed deeply to Tsunade with great emotion and said solemnly, "Thank you very much, Lady Tsunade!"

Tsunade waved her hand dismissively, "Hmph, nothing to worry about."

"Great!! Sasuke, did you hear that?!" Naruto jumped up, excitedly waving his arms and punching Sasuke's headboard. "You can get out of bed and move around tomorrow! We can take the Chunin Exams together!"

……

Soon, the day passed.

There weren't any particularly interesting dreams to dream about that night, and the system collected very few emotion points.

However, tomorrow night will be different.

Shi Yu glanced at her system panel.

The dashboard displayed: "The cooldown of the 'Dream Experience Ticket' has ended, and the cooldown of the 'Secondary Dungeon' has also been reset."

Shi Yu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Heh, finally I can start playing something interesting again..."
