He actually... appeared in this dream too?
And... in the capacity of Naruto's father?!
Not only Kushina-senpai... but even Minato-sensei...
What...what is this...?!
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +1000!!]
This time, it wasn't just Kakashi.
Even Sakura and Sasuke, who were standing nearby, widened their eyes and showed expressions of disbelief when they saw the face of the man who walked in.
"Th-that is..." Sakura's voice trembled.
"The Fourth Hokage... Lord Hokage?!" Sasuke exclaimed in a low voice.
As top students at the Konoha Ninja Academy, they were naturally very familiar with the village's history, especially the images of the Hokage throughout the ages.
The statue on Hokage Rock.
The portrait in the textbook.
Heroic legends circulating in the village.
The blond man who walked into Naruto's "home" was clearly the legendary hero who single-handedly ended the Third Shinobi World War and ultimately sacrificed himself to protect the village.
The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!
"W-Why... why is Naruto's father in his dream... the Fourth Hokage?!"
Sakura felt her brain completely overwhelmed, "Could it be...could it be Naruto...?"
An extremely absurd yet seemingly explainable thought rose uncontrollably in her mind.
[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Kakashi remained silent, his expression extremely grave.
Of course he knows why.
But this secret... is related to Naruto's life.
It is a top secret that concerns the stability of the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
These two children must never find out here!
but……
This dream...
What exactly is it trying to do?!

in the screen.
In his dream, Naruto looked at his "father," who had the same hair and eye color as him, with a look of surprise and familiarity.
Huh? Who is this uncle? He looks...familiar. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before.
Naruto was, after all, a loser, and he never looked at his textbooks.
As for the Hokage Rock... asking him to memorize the statue's appearance and then match it to the real person is simply asking too much of him. He usually remembers his classmates' appearances by giving them nicknames.
Looking at the living Minato, he felt an unusual sense of familiarity and warmth, but he couldn't connect him with the legendary hero at all.
He just stared blankly as Shuimen walked over, washed his hands, and then sat down with a smile between him and "Mom".
"Okay, let's eat."
Kushina picked up her chopsticks and enthusiastically placed a large, glistening piece of pork simmered pork on Naruto's plate. "Naruto, eat more. You're so thin. Today is your big day as a genin, so make sure you eat your fill."
Minato smiled and placed a golden-brown fried chicken leg on Naruto's plate, saying gently, "That's right, becoming a ninja is hard work, and you need to replenish your nutrition."
"Hmm! Hmm!" Naruto looked at the mountain of food piled up in his bowl, and then at his "Dad" and "Mom" with their gentle smiles beside him, feeling as if he were in heaven.
He nodded vigorously, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat heartily.
Although he knew it might be a dream, but...
The food that Mom and Dad put on my plate...it was so delicious!
The feeling of being cared for, loved, and having a family meal together... it's real.
Naruto thoroughly enjoyed and was extremely satisfied with the meal.
He felt it was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten in his life.
It's even... a hundred times better than Ichiraku Ramen.
His face was adorned with a silly smile the whole time, as if he were melting with happiness.
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +2000!!]
[Ding! Naruto's deep-seated obsession/dream, "Having dinner with his parents," has been successfully fulfilled in the dream instance!]
[Congratulations, host! You have triggered a special reward and received 10000 emotion points!]
……
in the audience.
Kakashi looked at the heartwarming scene of a family of three having a happy meal on the screen, his expression extremely complicated.
If only Minato-sensei and Kushina-senpai hadn't sacrificed themselves that night twelve years ago.
That must be Naruto's daily life...
He will grow up like an ordinary child, lovingly cared for by his parents, able to be spoiled, to complain, and to enjoy everything that should belong to him...
An indescribable bitterness and regret welled up in his heart once again.
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
……
In the dream, the cozy dinner time quickly came to an end.
Naruto patted his round belly, sat on the stool grinning foolishly, feeling so happy he was about to faint.
Minato stood up and began skillfully clearing the dishes from the table. He smiled and said to Naruto, "Naruto, you can't just sit there after you've eaten. Come on, you're a man now, let's go wash the dishes."
"Huh? Wash the dishes?" Naruto didn't react for a moment.
Minato winked and gave a mischievous smile: "Of course! We can't let Mom work so hard all by herself, can we? We have to help Mom with the housework."
"Oh, okay, okay!" Naruto finally realized what was going on, jumped off the stool, and excitedly replied, "I'll help Mom wash the dishes!"
So the father and son went to the kitchen sink together.
Minato was in charge of scrubbing the pots, while Naruto was in charge of washing the dishes covered in grease.
Naruto had eaten instant noodles or Ichiraku Ramen since he was a child and had almost never cooked for himself, let alone washed dishes. His movements were a bit clumsy, and he would either knock over the plates or get himself covered in foam.
But he didn't find it annoying at all; on the contrary, he enjoyed it.
It feels so good to do housework with "Dad".
Just as Naruto was humming a little tune and clumsily struggling with the greasy dishes, Mizuto, who was washing a pot next to him, suddenly spoke mysteriously:
"Oh, right, Naruto."
"Hmm? What is it, Dad?"
Minato stopped what he was doing, turned around, and smiled at Naruto: "To celebrate your official becoming a genin today, Daddy has decided... to teach you a super powerful ninjutsu!"
"Huh? That's an amazing ninjutsu?" Naruto's eyes lit up, but then he became a little confused.
Can you learn ninjutsu in your dreams?
Minato smiled mysteriously and kept everyone in suspense: "After you finish washing the dishes, we'll go to the backyard."
He added proudly, "This ninjutsu took me three years to create. It's incredibly powerful, and the name is really cool."
Naruto became even more curious, but he still felt a little strange.
In my dream... I learned the powerful ninjutsu my father created?
No matter how I think about it... it seems a bit unreliable.
……
in the audience.
"A self-created ninjutsu?" Sakura became interested upon hearing this and asked curiously, "Fourth Hokage... did you create any powerful ninjutsu?"
She looked at Sasuke and Kakashi beside her.
Sasuke shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
The history textbooks at the Ninja Academy mostly focus on the Fourth Hokage's speed, known as the "Yellow Flash," and his heroic deeds in sealing the Nine-Tails. They don't describe much about the specific ninjutsu he was skilled in or created.
Sakura pouted and muttered, "In the end, this is probably just something that idiot Naruto imagined. How could he possibly be the Fourth Hokage's son? If he were the Fourth Hokage's son, how could he have had such a miserable childhood? The Fourth Hokage was a hero who sacrificed himself to save the village. Naruto... must just be dreaming, dreaming that he is the son of a hero."
Kakashi listened to Sakura's reasoned analysis and sighed helplessly once again.
However, the background of Naruto and the arrangements made for him by the Third Hokage were complicated by too many reasons and helplessness.
Kakashi himself wasn't entirely sure either.
But at this moment, he was increasingly less convinced that all of this was just Naruto's "dream"!
Minato-sensei... created... an extremely powerful ninjutsu...
Kakashi's heart skipped a beat.
As Minato's most prized disciple, how could he not know his master's trump card?!
He not only knew exactly what it was! He could even... use it himself! Although... he didn't use it perfectly.
Therefore, he referenced this ninjutsu and invented a ninjutsu more suitable for himself.
Is it...
