Trees Chapter 265 Naruto Seems to Have Discovered the Secret Behind Kakashi’s Laziness

No one knew what was going on with Sasuke, but during the fight, he even formed a ball of purple Heavenly Flame in his hand. Naruto was so angry that he kicked him away on the spot.

"I just wanted to test his power..."

Sasuke mumbled quietly, clearly feeling a little guilty about his actions.

When he was a child, he heard that Kakashi was Konoha’s genius, so he thought that he should be able to take on one of his Heavenly Flames, right?

While Jiraiya once said that a Shinobi was someone who could endure anything, what Sasuke did was something that Naruto really couldn't endure!

He immediately smacked Sasuke upside the head a few times, cursing at him angrily.

"Do you know how weak he is? Use your damn brain!"

Sasuke fell silent upon hearing this, and his mind began to flash back to the scene of him and the white-haired scum teaming up to fight Itachi for the first time.

Kakashi, who already possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, was instantly defeated by Itachi's one-shot Tsukuyomi...

‘Tsk, trash.’

While the two were arguing, Kakashi, who was still pinned to the ground, struggled to push himself up.

‘Damn it!’

‘How come these two guys are so strong!?’

Kakashi stole a glance at the two enemies, who now seemed to be fighting amongst themselves, and couldn’t help but smirk internally.

‘How ridiculous...’

‘As teammates, they actually had internal conflicts during the battle.’

‘That’s a fatal mistake for any Shinobi during missions!’

Kakashi originally felt that there was a high probability that he would die here, but when he saw that the enemy didn't pay any attention to him, he began carefully inching away.

After successfully moving two steps, Kakashi lay on the ground, secretly forming hand seals, intending to escape by using Earth Release.

"Even if you wanted to stop me, can't you just talk properly!?"

"Why do you always have to resort to violence!?"

Sasuke cursed, glancing at the white-haired teen on the ground, and kicked him to interrupt his hand seals.

Kakashi was forming hand seals and was only one seal away from using Ninjutsu to escape, but the next second, he felt a pain in his stomach and the Chakra that had just been condensed in his body dissipated instantly.

"Gh… Ah!”

He collapsed face-first, clutching his abdomen with a low groan.

‘Damn it!’

‘How could I fall here!!’

Kakashi roared in his heart, and endured the pain and began to secretly form hand seals again.

"It’s my fault now?!"

"You’re the one who almost incinerated him?"

Naruto retorted to Sasuke, and noticed Kakashi’s sneaky movements out of the corner of his eye, so he picked up the black stick and hit him with it.

"AGHHH!!”

The black stick, which is a specialty of Mount Myoboku, is simply a magical weapon for beating people. One hit with the stick will not cause any external injuries, but it can make people experience a pain that is more painful than childbirth.

It can be said to be a must-have tool for disciplining unruly brats.

Kakashi, who had been looking for an opportunity to escape, was now trembling in pain, sweating profusely, and looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.

He was in so much pain that he couldn’t even think straight.

The two argued for a while longer before suddenly stopping. They looked at each other, and then started punching and kicking the white-haired teen on the ground.

Ten minutes later...

A bruised and battered Kakashi lay next to Sara like a half-dead dog. Seeing his pitiful state, Naruto quickly pulled out a healing potion and forced it down his throat.

Kakashi, who was barely conscious, recovered soon after. He sat on the ground and no longer had the arrogance he had before, and his eyes had became dull.

‘What is even the point of life...?’

Naruto scratched his head, and his heart skipped a beat.

‘Oh no...’

‘Could it be that the reason why the white-haired slacker became lazy in the future was because our beating?!’

"Hey."

"Kakashi, where are all your teammates?"

Naruto crouched in front of Kakashi, who was now thinking about his life, and began to inquire about his father.

Kakashi leaned back, pretending to be indifferent.

He opened his mouth and didn’t say a word, but Naruto and Sasuke, who knew him well, knew that this guy was actually saying: ‘If you have the guts, just kill me. You won't be able to get any information from me.’

As for how they knew his name, Kakashi was not very surprised.

After all, he is the son of Konoha’s White Fang and a genius of Konoha. It wasn’t strange for enemies to recognize him.

When Kakashi refused to respond, Naruto turned to Sara instead.

"Take us to Sakura... your Minister Haruno Sakura."

He untied the naive queen as he spoke.

Sara rubbed her wrists, her little face full of confusion. She looked at the yellow-haired man in front of her for a full three minutes before asking uncertainly, "You…"

"Are you really Minister Haruno Sakura's teammates?"

Sara felt very sad when she thought that her ministers were still fighting on the front line.

But when she thought of the strength of the two people displayed just now, her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

"Didn't I already show you the photo?"

Naruto muttered, then took out a Konoha’s forehead protector from his pocket and put it on himself. He even pointed at Kakashi as if to say, ‘See? We’re legit.’

Seeing this, Sasuke immediately took out his forehead protector and put it on.

However, when Kakashi saw the Konoha’s forehead protectors of the two men, he spoke very calmly, "I've never seen either of you in Konoha."

"Don’t think such a cheap trick will work on me."

Naruto raised his hand and began to rub the white-haired teen’s hair in exasperation.

"Hey."

"It seems like you're not easy to fool."

Kakashi tried to struggle, but Naruto kept him pinned effortlessly.

Meanwhile, Sara, who had figured it out, was about to ask the yellow-haired man for help.

"Listen..."

"You two are really strong, right?"

"Then could you please..."

Sara was hoping they would go to the front lines to assist Minister Haruno Sakura. After all, they had mentioned they were here to find someone, so they would definitely agree, right?

When Naruto heard the naive queen start talking about the plot, he interrupted her without waiting for her to finish.

"Sure! No problem at all!"

"I understand the crisis of Roran."

Naruto had already been mentally piecing together the situation in the Lost Tower.

‘Now that Sakura-Bro has joined, the situation is definitely a little different from what I expected, but no matter how much the scenario changed, I doubted it could be that bad.’

‘At worst, that naturally evil villain, Mukade, had gotten some kind of power-up and was now trying to steal the Ryumyaku to conquer the world.’

‘It doesn’t matter, Uzumaki Naruto will handle it.’

When Kakashi heard the naive queen's words, he could no longer endure it and quickly spoke up to stop her, "Sara! Don't take them back!"

He felt that since these two guys suddenly appeared here and knew his information, they might also know about his teacher...

‘I see now!’

‘They must be Shinobi sent by other villages to target our team!’

‘Damn it!’

‘This bastard even dyed his hair the same color as Minato-sensei to confuse me!?

"Who asked you?!"

"Sasuke! Beat him up again!"

The moment Naruto gave the order, both he and Sasuke lunged forward, pinning Kakashi to the ground, then punched and kicked him again.

Neither of them used any Chakra or Taijutsu, so their fight looked more like a street fight.

"Chidori!"

The furious Kakashi finally found an opportunity to create a Chidori in his hands, intending to pierce the two of them.

"Chidori my ass."

Snap…

Naruto swung his black stick, instantly dispersing Kakashi's newly condensed Chakra, and then he knocked him to the ground again.

Kakashi's Ninjutsu was suddenly interrupted. He had no choice but to protect his vital parts with both hands.

At the same time, he began to doubt his life again.

‘What... is even happening...?’

‘Why... is this my life...?’
