Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

She walked forward step by step, looking lost and dejected, tears streaming down her face.

Nawaki disregarded everything else and quickly approached Tsunade.

Even though the two were still a few steps apart, Tsunade's trembling hand had already involuntarily reached out, her expression one of overwhelming excitement.

She wanted to touch her brother's face to confirm that this was not an illusion, but she was also afraid that the person in front of her was just a remnant of a dream that would disappear once she touched him.

Her hand froze in mid-air, hesitant to move forward, her fingertips trembling.

"Big sister." Nawaki looked at Tsunade, who was weeping uncontrollably, and was both surprised and suspicious.

"You... how did you become like this? Jiraiya-senpai has aged so much..."

He muttered to himself, unsure of what to say next.

Hearing her younger brother's familiar name and voice, Tsunade could no longer suppress the surging emotions within her.

With a sob, she took a step forward and hugged Rope Tree tightly!

The force was so great that even Rope Tree let out a muffled groan.

Tsunade, however, remained oblivious, focusing solely on tightening her arms as if only in this way could she be certain that her younger brother truly existed.

Tsunade was already sobbing uncontrollably.

"Nawaki...it really is you! It really is you!"

The siblings, who had been separated for so long, embraced and wept in front of everyone.

The surrounding ANBU members looked at each other, none daring to step forward and disturb them. For a moment, only Tsunade's suppressed sobs and Nawaki's low words of comfort echoed in the air.

Kakashi stood not far away, witnessing the Hokage's outburst as he embraced a strange young man, and his heart was filled with emotion.

Although he had never met Nawaki in person, he speculated about it based on previous discussions and Tsunade's reaction.

The identity of the young man in front of them was not hard to guess—

[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]

Kakashi gasped, finding the situation utterly unbelievable.

"The characters from my dream... have actually come to the real world?"

His thoughts were in disarray, and he quickly rubbed his temples to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

Meanwhile, over there, after a hug...

Tsunade also calmed down a bit.

She slowly loosened her arms from tightly hugging the rope tree, and held her younger brother's shoulders with both hands, her eyes red as she carefully examined him.

He had grown much taller than I remembered, and his once youthful and immature face had matured, revealing a hint of fortitude and maturity.

When Rope Tree saw her tearful appearance, he was surprised, delighted, and worried at the same time, and a flood of questions arose in his mind.

"Big sister, Jiraiya-senpai—"

He looked around, then at Tsunade, and said incredulously, "What happened to you all? The village is so strange! I remember there used to be an orphanage here, but it's gone now. And those Anbu, none of them recognized me, and they attacked me right away... What happened?!"

In just a few words, Rope Tree poured out all the questions that had popped into his head.

Tsunade opened her mouth, but didn't know where to begin.

Jiraiya stepped forward, patted the two siblings on the shoulder, and said with a warm smile, "Nawaki, let's talk about this in the Hokage's office. This isn't the place to talk."

Tsunade then came to her senses, nodded, and choked out, "Yes, yes... it's not convenient here."

She reached out and grasped Rope Tree's slightly cold hand, as if afraid that he would disappear again if she let go, and gently tugged at it.

"Come with me, let's go back to the Hokage Building first."

Feeling the warmth and pressure from the palm of his hand, Rope Tree felt a little more at ease.

His sister's hands were still as warm and strong as he remembered, and he nodded obediently, "Mmm."

Although he was eager to have his questions answered, he also realized that there were too many people and too much talk in the area, and the recent conflict had caused quite a commotion, so it was indeed not appropriate to have a serious discussion in the street.

So Nawaki let Tsunade pull him along, and the three of them turned around and quickly headed towards the Hokage Building.

Before leaving, Jiraiya gave Kakashi a meaningful look.

Their eyes met, and Jiraiya nodded slightly, his eyes conveying a request for Jiraiya to clean up the mess.

Kakashi understood and nodded vigorously: "Understood."

He strode forward and ordered the bewildered members of the secret service, "All alert! Everyone disperse immediately and return to your posts. Do not let anyone know what happened this morning, understand?"

"Yes!" The members of the secret service exchanged glances and accepted the order.

The leader of the ANBU squad still hesitated, and whispered to Kakashi, "Kakashi-senpai, this young man suddenly appeared near our post this morning. Although he was wearing Konoha protective gear and a Konoha headband, when we checked his identification number, we found... that number belongs to a ninja who was registered as dead more than twenty years ago!"

The commander of the secret service had a complicated expression.

"We thought we had encountered an enemy infiltrator, so we—"

Kakashi patted him on the shoulder and said confidently, "You handled it correctly. The Hokage won't blame you for this. Staying vigilant is a good thing."

His gaze swept over the crowd, then he sternly commanded:

"But remember, nothing that happened this morning must be revealed! Keep your mouths shut, understand?"

"Understood!" the secret service members replied in unison.

Even without Kakashi saying anything, they could guess that this matter was no small thing.

Lady Tsunade's reaction just now says it all.

This mysterious young man who appeared out of nowhere has a close relationship with the Hokage and is definitely not an ordinary person.

The wise thing to do is to keep quiet.

In a short while, all the secret agents had dispersed.

After the dark forces dispersed.

Kakashi checked the battlefield again, and thankfully it was still early and no one had come to the vicinity.

Kakashi finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to return to the Hokage Building to report the situation to Tsunade.

But just as he turned around, a hurried shout came from afar: "Kakashi-sensei—! What happened?!"

A familiar, energetic voice rang out from the other end of the street.

Kakashi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura running towards him from the street corner.

Soon, they ran up to Kakashi.

Naruto looked around with concern: "Kakashi-sensei, is the battle over? I saw a huge commotion from afar and rushed over! Too bad, I wanted to help! Did an enemy invade Konoha?"

Sasuke stood beside Naruto without saying a word, but his eyes also held a hint of worry that he couldn't hide.

Sakura, holding her knees, took a few breaths and then looked at Kakashi after Naruto's question.

When Kakashi saw the three students rushing over, his features softened instantly. He smiled reassuringly and shook his head, saying, "No enemy has invaded, don't be nervous."

"It was just a misunderstanding, and it has been resolved now."

"Huh?" Naruto scratched his head.

Only then did they notice Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the unfamiliar young man beside them, who were heading towards the Hokage Building not far away.

He stared wide-eyed with curiosity.

"Grandma Tsunade and the perverted sage are both here! Who is that young man they're with?"

As he spoke, Naruto pointed in the direction where Tsunade and the others had left, his face full of curiosity and confusion.

Sasuke and Sakura also cast inquiring glances their way.

Clearly, the three brats also saw Tsunade and Nawaki leaving.

Kakashi hesitated for a moment, then decided not to hide it from the three little ones.

After all, Naruto and Sasuke have a close relationship with that dream, so it's good to tell them sooner rather than later so they can be mentally prepared.

"The young man you're talking about..." His expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "He is not an enemy, but Lady Tsunade's younger brother—Nawaki."

"He came from that dream world into reality."

"Wha-what?!"

Naruto and Sasuke exclaimed in unison.

Even the usually calm Sakura's eyes widened.

"Tsunade-sama's younger brother? From the dream world?! How is that possible—"

[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +800!]

[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +600!]

"Shh! Don't make a sound! This is an S-class secret."

Kakashi planned to intimidate the three little ones first.

Sasuke's eyes flashed.

If something like this can actually happen, then could the Nissan in the dream also...?

At the thought, Sasuke's breathing quickened, and he eagerly said, "Kakashi-sensei! Take us with you to see it!"

……

On the other side, Tsunade held Nawaki's hand and walked briskly through the streets of Konoha without stopping.

Jiraiya followed closely beside the two, glancing around warily from time to time.

Tsunade didn't say a word the whole way, only tears uncontrollably streaming down her cheeks.

She gripped Nawaki's broad, strong hand tightly, the warm, firm touch of his palm reminding her again and again—this was not a dream, Nawaki had really returned!

Rope Tree was slightly out of breath, but his head kept looking left and right.

He looked around and felt that although the buildings on both sides of the street still had some familiar outlines, many of them were obviously old and dilapidated, and some had even disappeared, leaving only the ruins of their foundations.

A once bustling commercial street is now deserted and desolate, as if it had been transformed into another place.
