Trees Chapter 317 Backstabbed By Thin Ice Bro

After Kakashi was beaten up, Naruto was considerate enough to treat him.

However, the white-haired slacker remained completely silent, not even bothering to say a single word of thanks.

Kushina couldn’t stand it any longer.

"Kakashi, why aren’t you saying thank you?"

She grabbed the back of Kakashi’s neck and dragged him toward Naruto.

"Uh... thanks... Naruto."

Seeing that he was about to get beaten again, Kakashi reluctantly muttered the words.

He was absolutely fuming inside.

But this beating wasn’t entirely without its benefits, at least Kakashi realized that the dreams he’d been having were actually trips to the Pure Land.

Recalling all the things that had happened over the years...

Kakashi didn’t know what to say.

‘Damn it!’

‘It turns out those colorful steaks could actually kill people!!’

‘No wonder this brat always looked at me weirdly whenever I asked about them.’

Whoosh…

Just as they arrived at Orochimaru’s hideout, a sharp whistling sound suddenly reached their ears.

Kakashi’s mind was still hazy when he turned his head to look, only to find his vision blurring before he was sent flying.

"Kakashi!!"

"Tell me what these things are!?"

Sakumo's figure appeared at some point, and judging from the Shinigami robe he’s wearing, he had also become a Shinigami.

However, what really caught Naruto’s attention was the stack of photos clutched in Sakumo’s hand.

Out of curiosity, Naruto took a few steps closer, and immediately recognized Kakashi’s cross-dressing collection.

‘What the hell!?’

‘How did the photos secretly taken by Sasuke end up in Sakumo’s possession?!’

Naruto obviously knew where those photos came from, after all, he’d contributed to quite a few of them himself.

When Minato saw Kakashi being kicked away, he initially thought about stepping in to help, but when he saw that the other party was Sakumo, he immediately gave up on the idea.

"Father?"

Kakashi rubbed his head and looked up at Sakumo, expecting a warm reunion.

But the moment he saw the photos in his father’s hand, his face instantly stiffened, and sweats started dripping from his chin.

"Wait!"

"Father, please listen to my explanation first!"

When Sakumo heard this, his expression darkened even further. Earlier, when he’d come to the living world to find Fugaku, he’d coincidentally run into the Uchiha couple disciplining their youngest son.

Thinking he wasn’t in a hurry, he’d stood there, sighing about how troublesome it was to raise Uchiha children… while smugly thinking how much easier Kakashi was in comparison.

But as the beating went on, Fugaku’s youngest son, who had been screaming like he was dying, suddenly locked eyes with Sakumo, and a strange glint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

For a moment, Sakumo wondered if this Uchiha Sasuke had some kind of... unusual preferences.

Then, after about ten minutes, the kid suddenly rushed toward him… while scattering photos all over the ground.

At first, Sakumo didn’t pay attention, but then he accidentally caught a glimpse of one of them.......

Sakumo’s soul nearly left his body when he saw his son wearing a purple, high-slit dress.

"Kakashi!"

"Tell me…"

"What on earth have you been doing all these years!?"

"You have brought disgrace upon the Hatake Clan!!"

Kakashi knew exactly what was coming next. Sensing that Kamui Dimension had reconnected, he didn’t say another word… his body twisted, and he vanished on the spot.

"Ka! Ka! Shi!"

Seeing his son had the audacity to run, Sakumo roared his name syllable by syllable, his suppressed rage like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

Naruto couldn’t stand seeing elders upset, so he ran up to Sakumo and poked his shoulder.

"Uncle, don't be angry."

"I know where Kakashi-sensei went."

Remembering that Uzumaki Stark had once entered Kamui Dimension, Naruto immediately opened a portal in front of Sakumo.

He pointed at the portal and winked at Sakumo again.

Sakumo understood what Naruto meant and turned to glance at the Minato and Kushina beside him.

He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart...

‘Look at Minato’s son, how worry-free he is!’

"Thank you."

Sakumo thanked him with a smile, raised the Zanpakuto at his waist, and stepped through the portal without hesitation.

Minato’s eye twitched the entire time, while Kushina grew even more determined to teach Jiraiya a lesson.

‘Damn it!’

‘Just look at what Jiraiya had done!?’

‘He actually turned Kakashi into a pervert who likes to wear women's clothes!’

As a woman, even Kushina found them embarrassing, l let alone a grown man wearing them man!

‘No way!’

‘I absolutely couldn’t let Naruto hang around Jiraiya in the future!’

Kushina was very worried that her son would end up like Kakashi or Jiraiya in the future.

"Let’s go!"

"We’re going to find Jiraiya-sensei!"

Seeing her mother’s expression darken even further, Naruto couldn’t help but feel concerned for the white-haired old man.

"Uh…"

"Wait a second, I’ll go back and grab one more person."

After Naruto said this, he entered the portal again and returned to Konoha.

"Auntie!"

"Bad news! Jiraiya-sensei snuck into Orochimaru’s hideout to film a movie!"

Tsunade: “???”

"You little brat!"

"Uzumaki Naruto!"

"What kind of trouble have you gotten into this time!?"

Tsunade, who had been drinking at the bar, immediately yelled at the yellow-haired brat the moment he ran up to her.

She even pointed outside the bar at the ongoing reconstruction of Konoha.

Naruto's mind went blank when he saw this scene.

"It wasn't me!"

"It was all Shinno’s fault! All I did was eat hot pot with Sasuke!"

While Naruto had no idea what had happened to the village to turn it into ruins again...

Still, following procedure, it was always right to pin the blame on the villain first.

Bang…

Tsunade slammed her hands on the table and stood up, about to ask why these two brats hadn’t answered her calls.

But then she remembered she wasn’t the Hokage anymore and didn’t need to worry so much.

So she instantly decided to drop the matter...

"Wait…?"

"What did you just say?"

"Jiraiya went to film a movie?"

Tsunade suddenly remembered Jiraiya's proposal to make Icha-Icha Paradise into a TV series...

‘Damn it!!’

‘I don't agree to film the TV series...’

‘So you went and made a movie instead, huh?’

"Yeah... Kakashi told me."

Hearing Kakashi’s name, Tsunade’s eyes widened even further.

‘Good, good…’

‘So you’re in on this too, Kakashi?’

Tsunade rolled up her sleeves, smashed her bottle on the table, and coldly spat out three words, "Lead the way!"

As soon as she spoke, Naruto grabbed Tsunade and headed straight to the entrance of Orochimaru’s hideout.

Then, Naruto swiped Sasuke’s ID card to open the door, easily bringing everyone inside Orochimaru’s base.

"Ouch! I'm sweeping the floor at 3A, and I'm starting with quicklime powder at 0 frames!"

"Bro, you’re done for!"

Mitsuki had his feet propped up on the couch, his fingers nimbly working the screen as he spouted sarcastic remarks.

"Ayy, bro, why aren’t you saying anything?"

"You even picked Hashirama Senju... 32 losses in a row, do you even know how to play?"

Just as Naruto was about to rudely interrupt Mitsuki’s gaming session, a familiar voice suddenly came from the other side of the screen.

"Give me your address if you’ve got guts."

Mitsuki immediately perked up when he heard this.

"Yo, yo, yo! I'm the grandson of the Sandaime Hokage… Sarutobi Konohamaru!"

"Come at me if you dare!"
