Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

These days, in their dreams, they follow Sakumo Hatake.

Not only did Hakuga treat them kindly and gently, but he also taught Yahiko everything he knew.

He spared no effort in teaching knife skills.

Even considering that he and Konan were not well-suited to learning swordsmanship, Hatake Sakumo specially invited other Konoha ninjas to instruct the three of them.

Sakumo-senpai is a respectable elder, and just yesterday, when they were in trouble, it was Kakashi who was the first to stand up for them and help them out of the predicament.

Thinking about this, Nagato's gaze towards Kakashi softened involuntarily.

The red-haired youth nodded slightly in greeting, relaxed a bit, and introduced himself: "Hello, I am Nagato, and this is Konan. We are from Amegakure."

He was polite and humble, a stark contrast to his cold and aloof demeanor just moments before.

Upon hearing this, Kakashi raised an eyebrow and lowered his guard slightly.

He keenly sensed a hint of kindness in Nagato's eyes.

This surprised Kakashi.

Why would someone named Nagato take the initiative to show him goodwill?

Kakashi couldn't figure it out for a moment.

He blinked, his gaze shifting back and forth between Nagato and Konan.

Filled with questions, Kakashi turned his head slightly to look at Jiraiya beside him.

Perhaps Jiraiya-senpai knew these two people?

"Senior Jiraiya..."

Kakashi called out in a low voice, wanting to ask about the origins of this duo.

However, Jiraiya did not answer immediately.

He simply stared intently at Nagato and Konan, his expression complex and guilty, as if lost in thought for a moment.

Kakashi was taken aback when he saw this.

This was the first time he had ever seen Jiraiya, who was usually cheerful and carefree, show such an expression.

Guilt, regret, and a touch of sadness mingled together.

Following Jiraiya's gaze, Kakashi noticed that he was staring at Nagato, his gaze seemingly looking through the red-haired youth before him and seeing events from many years ago.

Jiraiya was indeed lost in thought.

At this moment, however, what echoed in his mind were the words Danzo had said to him during the day.

Danzo's high-sounding explanation was absurd.

But undeniably, one point struck at his sore spot.

Back then, if he hadn't chosen to leave Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan in the war-torn Amegakure, but instead brought them back to Konoha like Sakumo Hatake did, then those later misfortunes...

Does that mean it won't happen?

Thinking of this, Jiraiya felt a mix of emotions.

A deep sense of regret and guilt welled up in Jiraiya's heart, and he couldn't help but lower his head, his fists clenching tightly in his sleeves.

[Ding! Jiraiya's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!!]

……

At this moment, on the screen...

Konoha Frontline Camp.

As dawn broke, several figures gathered at the entrance of the camp.

Leading the group was a blond young ninja with a gentle smile; he was none other than Minato Namikaze, known as the "Yellow Flash."

Two squads of ninjas stood beside him.

One team consists of Obito, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara.

The other team consisted of three young ninjas who looked slightly nervous.

The leader was an orange-haired boy with handsome features, but he was biting his lower lip slightly, and his eyes showed a hint of unease; to his left and right stood a red-haired boy and a blue-haired girl.

It was Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan.

Under Sakumo Hatake's arrangement, they were temporarily assigned to Minato Namikaze's squad and went out on missions together.

……

in the audience.

Kakashi stared at the orange-haired boy on the screen for two seconds, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed to Jiraiya beside him, "J-Jiraiya-sama! That orange-haired boy who appeared at the Konoha camp... isn't that Pain who invaded Konoha in the dream?!"

[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!!]

Jiraiya also turned his gaze to the screen.

He sighed and nodded, "That's right. That child was one of the three students I took in back in Amegakure."

Jiraiya stared intently at the youthful-looking Yahiko on the screen, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Kakashi gasped in shock, then looked at the screen in disbelief: "He's... your student, Jiraiya-sensei?!"

"Yes." Jiraiya nodded. "His real name is Yahiko."

Kakashi snapped out of his daze and couldn't help but ask, "But... why was he at Konoha's camp, and even... why was he on a mission with me in the dream?"

Jiraiya shrugged and said, "Because your father brought them back to Konoha. Now, they are your father's subordinates and disciples."

"Varied--?!"

Kakashi was taken aback by what he heard, and his gaze immediately returned to the screen, fixed on the three people standing next to Minato Namikaze: Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan.

He hadn't entered this dream world for only a few days, yet the dream world had undergone such a drastic change!

This unreal sense of displacement shocked him, but it also made him realize that the dream was unfolding in a completely unexpected direction.

Kakashi instantly understood why Nagato had shown him a hint of kindness earlier.

It's probably because of his father.

……

on the screen.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze faced the children gathered before him, smiling as he explained the day's mission: "Everyone is here."

"Our mission is to go and investigate a canyon west of the Heaven and Earth Bridge."

"Yesterday evening, Konoha's sensory unit detected some unusual activity in that area, suspecting possible activity by enemy ninja. Therefore, our team must immediately go and investigate."

Minato Namikaze's gentle voice echoed at the camp entrance. Kakashi, Obito, and Rin, the three disciples, remained calm and nodded without any sign of tension.

After all, although the three of them had only graduated for a little over half a year, they had already carried out many missions with Minato Namikaze during this time, experiencing both large and small ones, and were already used to going on missions.

He must make a good impression on Lin this time.

In contrast, the other three figures standing to the side appeared much more inexperienced.

This was their first official mission as ninjas.

At this moment, all three of them looked somewhat nervous and uneasy.

Yahiko took several deep breaths, seemingly trying to calm himself down, but he still couldn't hide the excitement and unease in his eyes.

Nagato's expression was solemn, and his thin lips were tightly pressed together, revealing his inner tension.

Xiao Nan stood silently beside the two, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers, her purple eyes filled with both anticipation and trepidation.

Minato Namikaze keenly sensed the tension in Yahiko and the other two.

He squinted and gave an encouraging smile, reassuringly saying, "Is this your first mission? Don't be nervous."

"Don't worry, this is just a simple reconnaissance mission, there won't be much risk. I assure you, I will do everything in my power to protect the safety of every one of my comrades!"

Minato Namikaze's warm and confident words immediately eased the anxiety in Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan's hearts.

Yahiko took a deep breath and nodded vigorously to Minato: "Yes! We understand!"

Nagato's tense expression relaxed, and Konan even let out a soft breath, her tightly clenched hands loosening considerably.

The tension on their faces gradually faded, and they straightened their backs and stood up straight, regaining their composure.

Seeing that the three newcomers had adjusted their state, Minato Namikaze nodded in satisfaction.

He turned around, took out a map from his ninja tool bag, spread it out in his palm, and began to study the marching route carefully.

Bathed in the morning light, his expression was focused and serious, his brow furrowed in thought as he fully immersed himself in preparing for the mission.

This scene, witnessed by the two girls beside him, evoked a heartfelt sense of emotion.

Looking at Minato Namikaze's serious profile, Konan whispered in admiration, "Minato-sensei seems really reliable..."

An admiring smile appeared on her slightly nervous face.

Lin nodded in agreement, a similarly infectious smile on her lips, and whispered, "Yes, Minato-sensei is incredibly skilled and reliable. With him leading the team, we're not afraid of any danger!"

The two girls' hushed conversation did not escape Obito's ears.

Obito perked up and quickly jumped to Rin's side, patting his chest and flashing a sunny, confident smile: "Rin! Don't worry!"

"No matter what danger we encounter later, I will definitely protect you! You can rest assured!"

Rin was slightly taken aback by Obito's enthusiastic performance today. A gentle smile appeared on her lips as she softly said, "Thank you, Obito. You were really energetic today!"

She winked and added playfully, "With you and Kakashi around, of course I'm at ease."

"Hehe..." Obito's face immediately lit up with a smile after being praised by his sweetheart. He scratched the back of his head and chuckled, as if he had put all his energy into nodding.

Lin is praising him as "reliable"!

Hey.

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

Obito was overjoyed and felt full of energy.

However, just as Obito was feeling smug, the blue-haired girl next to him suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled.
