The young man was not shaken by the man's words, but his eyes became more determined. "I want to protect the person I cherish!" he said, and the figure of that transparent person emerged in his heart. Thinking of her, the corners of his lips turned

It rose slightly for the first time, outlining a gentle arc. This reason was enough for him, enough for him to work hard regardless of everything. "Isn't that why, teacher?" he asked rhetorically.

There is a bit of certainty in it.

At this moment, the door of the living room was slowly opened. A handsome young man walked in. There was a faint scar on the bridge of his nose, which added a bit of vicissitudes to his life. The young man seemed to be feeling a little unwell and was unable to walk.

His posture seemed a bit strange. However, this did not affect his handsomeness and temperament.

When the man saw the young man, a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face. The smile was full of pampering and care, as if he was looking at his most precious treasure. "Why don't you sleep a little longer?" he asked softly, with a tone of voice.

Revealing endless tenderness, he helped the young man sit down slowly, his movements gentle and careful.

The young man glanced at the calm young man with some embarrassment, and two blushes quietly appeared on his cheeks. He lowered his head, and his voice trembled slightly: "No...it's okay."

As the young man witnessed all this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of envy in his heart. He imagined that one day, the person he cherished would be able to lean against him so gently. However, he quickly calmed down, and now he didn't want to

At this time, he looked at the man and said firmly: "Teacher, what are your thoughts?"

The man then turned his gaze back to the young man, his eyes full of farewell messages. However, under the young man's firm gaze, he finally relaxed: "Okay! Since you insist so much," he said,

There was a hint of helplessness and doting in his voice, "I hope you can remember what you said and don't let me down."

After getting the answer he wanted, the young man felt an indescribable joy in his heart. He nodded to the young man, then turned around and opened the door. He did not want to continue to disturb the seemingly loving master and apprentice here.

When the young man's figure gradually moved away and disappeared from sight, the man gently hugged the young man beside him, his movements were extremely gentle. The young man seemed lighter than before, which made the man frown slightly, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

emotions.

"Why do you want me to help him?" the man asked in a low voice. His eyes were deep, as if he could penetrate all appearances and see people's innermost thoughts.

The young man leaned on the man's shoulder, feeling the warmth of his embrace, and said softly: "Don't you think he is very similar to you at that time? At that time, you also begged the teacher like that, hoping to get help and guidance."

The two of them fell into memories, and the scenes from their youth were vivid in their minds, as if they happened yesterday. At that time, they also had dreams, and were also confused and hesitant.

"Oh! Is that what Kakashi-sensei said?" From a distance, Naruto looked at Sakura curiously, his eyes shining with longing and expectation for the future.

Sakura smiled quietly and replied: "Yes, Kakashi-sensei did say that. Naruto, what are you going to do? Do you want to practice with Kakashi-sensei, or let Kakashi-sensei help?"

Do you want to find a spiritual teacher?"

Naruto was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about this issue seriously. He looked up at the sky, and then said slowly: "Where is Sasuke? What did he plan?"

"Sasuke, he is training with Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura replied.

After hearing this, Naruto nodded thoughtfully, "That's right! Then I want to practice on my own!" His tone was firm and decisive, and he seemed to have made his decision.

Sakura looked at Naruto in surprise, "Do you really want to practice alone? It will be very hard."

Naruto nodded, "Well, I've already decided. Sakura, can you help me tell Kakashi-sensei?"

Sakura nodded helplessly, "Okay, now that you have decided, I will help you tell Kakashi-sensei."

Elsewhere, Temari called Gaara with a trembling voice. Kankuro looked at Temari in surprise. It was hard for him to imagine that Temari would take the initiative to talk to Gaara when it was not necessary. Normally, she would always

Avoid contact with Gaara, as if he is afraid of him.

Gaara didn't speak, just looked at Temari quietly. There was no expression on his face, but his deep eyes revealed an indescribable emotion.

Temari took a deep breath and tried to calm down her excitement. She knew that she had to speak her mind now, otherwise she might never have the courage to bring up this topic again in the future. She looked into Gaara's eyes and asked seriously:
