"Hehe."
Looking at Watergate's eyes, Sandaime-sama chuckled.
He was also very happy and pleased with the decision he made more than ten years ago.
That was to let Watergate become Jiraiya's disciple.
However, with this little guy's talent, even if Sandaime-sama didn't favor him when he was still a Ninja Academy student, he would still stand out in the future ninja trials and wars.
He was able to develop an S-class Ninjutsu at the age of eleven.
Jiraiya once said to Sandaime-sama that Watergate was the most talented person in history.
Sandaime-sama agreed with this statement.
Watergate's growth was beyond everyone's expectations again and again.
Sandaime-sama deliberately trained Watergate, and when he was a teenager, he accepted the task of Fujiwara Takuji, the vice president of the Fire Chamber of Commerce. This was to pave the way.
Because Watergate's talent as a ninja is needless to say, but his background is ordinary, and if he wants to be Naruto, a certain amount of political resources is necessary.
However, Sandaime-sama only wanted to make Watergate one of his successors.
Among his disciples, there was one who was also very outstanding. Before Watergate appeared, Sandaime-sama thought that he was the most talented genius.
However, even such a genius can only be compared with Watergate.
After the third ninja world war, Watergate even surpassed him, Sandaime-sama Naruto.
Whether it was fame, strength, or prestige.
Now, no one in Wood Leaf can compete with Watergate for the position of Naruto.
...
"So, are you willing to bear the name of Naruto, inherit the will of your ancestors, and protect the Wood Leaf Ninja Village?"
Sandaime-sama looked at Watergate with a serious face.
"Of course."
Watergate calmed his mood, and then solemnly said: "I will do anything!"
"Good, very good!"
After getting the exact answer from Watergate, Sandaime-sama Naruto couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
At this time, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at the photos of the two men hanging on the roof.
"Sandaime-sama, Sandaime-sama, I finally lived up to your expectations …"
"I found a new successor, and whether it is strength or will, he is better than me!"
Sandaime-sama succeeded Naruto during the first ninja world war. Sandaime-sama Naruto sacrificed his life to protect them and gave him the Wood Leaf Ninja Village.
Over the past few decades, the Sandaime has given his all for Konoha.
And the result of his efforts was the result of today's Wood Leaf Ninja.
Sama Ninja Sama, Uchiha Uchiha, Uchiha Uchiha, Sho …
As Naruto, Sandaime-sama cultivated these ninjas who now have a great reputation in the ninja world.
Although such achievements still can't be compared with the Sandaime-sama who established the Wood Leaf Ninja Village in the troubled times, they are definitely worthy of Naruto's name.
Sandaime-sama collected his thoughts and continued, "Then tomorrow, I will gather the elites of the village to discuss the matter of electing you as Naruto's successor."
Although he is Naruto, Naruto's succession is not decided by him alone.
First, it must be approved by the elites of the village, and then reported to the Daimyo.
Part of the decision-making power is in the hands of the Daimyo and the politicians of the Land of Fire.
However, with Watergate's current strength, achievements, and prestige, it is not a problem to pass this kind of election.
"Yes!"
Watergate responded, and then bowed deeply to Sandaime-sama.
"Naruto -sama, thank you for your hard work over the years!"
This is not a promise, but Watergate's voice from the bottom of his heart.
"Oh, it is indeed very hard, little guy, you have to be mentally prepared."
Sandaime-sama and Watergate looked at each other, and both of them smiled.
...
After coming out of Naruto's office, Watergate slightly sensed and found Kakashi's current location.
With a thought, Watergate's figure directly disappeared from the door of Naruto's office and appeared in Wood Leaf's seventh training ground.
At this time, in the training ground, Kakashi was practicing taijutsu.
It's just that his movements were slow, obviously, he was forced to train.
"Stop. You'll only damage your body if you continue like this …"
Watergate said aloud. Hearing his voice, Kakashi stopped his movements.
"Watergate -sensei."
Kakashi looked at Minato. At this time, his eyes were low and dark, without any spirit.
Looking at Kakashi, Watergate took a deep breath and said, "Even if you force yourself like this, I think Lin won't be happy even if she knows."
"Lin …"
Hearing Lin's name, Kakashi's face couldn't help but tremble.
"I know you are apologetic about what happened to Lin, so there are some things I think I need to tell you …"
Watergate continued, "Even now, I still don't know the specifics, but I can tell you that what happened to you and Lin was not a coincidence. We were both set up by someone …"
Soon after, Watergate told Kakashi his deductions and some secrets.
After hearing this, Kakashi's eyes flickered violently, and his breathing became very rapid. He said, "You're saying that someone deliberately led you to the place where Xiaolin and I were? How is that possible?!"
Watergate nodded seriously, then said, "So I need you to tell me, how did you and Lin escape from the Mist's watch?"
Kakashi immediately replied, "It was a Mist Shadow called Empress Shōmei who saved us."
"Empress Shōmei?"
Hearing this name, Watergate slightly raised his eyebrows, then chuckled, "She has already joined the Shadow Department …"
Calculating the time, the little girl he saved in the Hidden Fog was only fourteen years old now.
Becoming a member of Naruto's Shadow Department at the age of fourteen, it's not easy.
However, thinking of Empress Shōmei's Bloodline Limit and her talent, Watergate wasn't surprised.
Seeing his Sensei's reaction, Kakashi was able to confirm that Empress Shōmei didn't lie to him and Lin at that time.
Watergate -sensei really knew her …
But at this time, Watergate's face suddenly changed.
Kakashi and Lin were able to escape from the Mist's watch because of Empress Shōmei's help …
In other words, letting Empress Shōmei watch over Kakashi and Lin was probably part of that guy's plan.
When he sneaked into the Mist Village, that guy wanted to kill him. If it wasn't for Empress Shōmei's help at the last moment, he would've died.
Watergate's face gradually became dignified, then he looked at Kakashi in front of him, at this time, the latter's eyes were filled with surprise.
"You already noticed it …"
Kakashi suddenly raised his eyes, stared at Watergate, and said in surprise, "Letting Empress Shōmei watch over me and Lin was deliberately planned by someone!"
