Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Hokage Tower.

Tsunade finally finished taking care of her today's official duties. She then stood up and stretched her body.

She felt really exhausted at this moment.

"It's finally done. Hokage's work is really exhausting. That Kakashi, is really smart to refuse this." Tsunade complainly said.

Hearing this, Shizune who was on the side hugging Tonton smiled and said: "Tsunade-sama, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

"Yeah, I know. Shizune, you are becoming more and more like a housekeeper now. If this continues, you won't get married."

Shizune's mouth couldn't help but twitch after hearing this.

"Tsunade-sama..." Shizune said bitterly.

Tsunade just laughed heartily when she saw this.

"Shizune, you are getting more and more cute."

"Tsunade-sama..." Shizune complained again.

"Okay, I will stop teasing you. By the way, didn't Kakashi and the others hold a celebration party at Kakashi's house? Let's go there and join in the fun."

"Is that okay? You are the Hokage, so how can you mess around with them." Shizune said hesitatedly.

"What's wrong with that! I have already decided, and my official duties are done for today, so you have no reason to stop me." Tsunade said with while glaring at Shizune.

"Okay, okay, but Tsunade-sama, I will say it, but you can't drink too much, let alone get drunk. Otherwise, you won't be able to work tomorrow." Shizune said.

"Okay, I know, you sure nag too much!" Tsunade said.

Hearing this, Shizune felt very aggrieved, 'I only said this so that you can do your job as Hokage.'

At this moment, the door of Hokage's office was knocked.

"Strange, it's already so late. Who could it be?" Tsunade wondered.

"Please come in."

With a creak sound, the door opened, and two figures, one large and one small, come in.

One is white-haired and the other is yellow-haired which was particularly eye-catching.

Tsunade and Shizune were surprised when they saw this.

"Jiraiya? Naruto?" Tsunade said in surprise.

"Yo, Tsunade, long time no see, your breasts are still looked amazing!"

Jiraiya said while showing a wretched smile.

Blue veins appeared on Tsunade's forehead when she heard this, and then she said, "Jiraiya, it seems that you want to taste my punch again, right?"

Hearing this, Jiraiya just laughed happily and said: "Tsunade, I'm just kidding, don't be like that."

"Ero-Sennin, I already told you to reduce your lewdness." Naruto complainly said, and then he look at Tsunade and Shizune and said: "Tsunade baa-chan, Shizune nee-chan, long time no see."

Shizune smiled and said: "Naruto, how's your training?"

Naruto gave a thumb up and confidently said: "Oh, it is very good. Right now, I am very powerful!"

Tsunade nodded and said: "It looks like you have indeed become stronger."

"Of course, after all, I passed the very difficult test from Ero-Sennin! Now, I am definitely better than Sasuke. By the way, where are Sasuke and Sakura-chan? Have they already gone home to sleep?" Naruto asked.

"Sasuke, Sakura, Neji, Jūgo and Karin have all become Jōnin today. To celebrate it, everyone held a celebration party at Kakashi-senpai's house. They should have just begun now." Shizune said

"What? Jōnin? How could it be so fast..."

Naruto instantly depressed after hearing this.

'Didn't Kakashi-sensei say that they haven't become Jōnin yet? How come they already are as soon as I came back?'

'Not only Sasuke and Sakura-chan, but even Neji, Jūgo and Karin have become Jōnin.'

"Wait, doesn't that mean I am the only Genin left in the same generation?" Naruto asked nervously.

Hearing Naruto's question, Shizune and Tsunade look at each other and then Shizune smiled and said: "Yes, that's right Naruto."

"Aaah! How could this happen!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto screamed while holding his head.

Seeing Naruto's reaction, Tsunade smiled and said: "Naruto's personality hasn't changed at all. Ok, stop screaming. Shizune and I are planning to go over there, and you two will come with us too to give them a surprise."

Hearing this, Jiraiya approached Tsunade and said, "I'll go wherever you go, Tsunade."

"You should stay away from me if you don't want to be beaten into the hospital as soon as you come back."

Jilaiya immediately stepped away when he heard that, after all, he didn't want to be beaten by Tsunade.

"Really, you are still as violent as before." Jiraiya complainly said.

"Okay, let's go!" Tsunade shouted.

But when the three of them turned their heads to look at Naruto, they saw that Naruto is squatting in the corner while drawing circles depressedly.

"Everyone is already Chunin or Jōnin. But I'm still just a Genin, it's too embarrassing, I won't go there."

Naruto said while drawing circles.

Seeing this, Jilai grabbed Naruto by the collar and lifted Naruto up.

"Aaah! Ero-Sennin! What are you doing?"

"Naruto, stop being depressed like that. Don't you want to see everyone?"

"Of course I want to, but..."

"Well, in that case, let's go." Jiraiya said with a smile.

In desperation, Naruto had no choice but to follow Jiraiya, Tsunade and Shizune to Kakashi's house.

However, Naruto's heart is full of excitement about the upcoming reunion.

'Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke, Sakura-chan, Jūgo, Karin, and everyone, I wonder what they looks like now.'

...

Kakashi's house.

Chōji showed his superb barbecue skills, and he managed the barbecue for more than a dozen people all by himself.

Of course, most of the grilled meats are eaten by himself.

"Everyone is so happy, it's good." Hinata looked at everyone in the courtyard were having a great time, so she couldn't help but showing a happy smile.

'This feeling is really good.'

Hinata looked at Sakura and Sasuke, and secretly thought: "I wonder when Naruto-kun will come back."

At this time, Kakashi suddenly looked at the door and saw four people walked in.

"Hello everyone, see who I brought here!" Tsunade exclaimed with her hands on her hips.

In an instant, all the people present looked at the door.

In addition to Tsunade and Shizune, they also saw the familiar figure.

"Naruto?" Sasuke called out first.

"Yo everyone! Uzumaki Naruto is back!" Naruto said with a big smile involuntarily spreading on his face.

'Friends, long time no see, I miss you all so much!'

"Naruto!"

Everyone rushed and gathered around Naruto.

"Naruto, I didn't expect you would grow taller. Now, you're even taller than me," Sakura said.

"Yo, lowest ranking, has your strength improved? If you are too weak, you will be beaten like a pig by me!" Sasuke said proudly.

"Naruto-kun, welcome... welcome back." Hinata said shyly while spinning two fingers back and forth.

Hearing everyone was talking happily, Naruto's heart was completely filled with warmth.

Naruto understand that this is probably the feeling of having a home.

They are all the ones that Naruto would always cherish with his life.

Kakashi looked at Naruto as the corners of his mouth also curled up and then said: "Naruto, welcome back."
