"Mr Goku, this will be your home from now on. Whether you decide to leave Konoha in the future or not, it will belong to you."
In front of a detached house, Kakashi gestured towards it and introduced it to Goku.
This residence was decided upon after a discussion between him and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
It was originally a property of the Sarutobi clan, but after he presented a small portion of Goku's money, it was transferred to Goku's name.
Not long after Goku and the others had left Ichiraku Ramen, Kakashi had found them and brought them here.
"Wow, this house looks pretty nice!" Naruto exclaimed from the side.
"Hey, isn't that your house over there, Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked, looking around.
She had suddenly spotted a familiar-looking house nearby. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Kakashi-sensei's home.
"Ah, that's right," Kakashi explained.
"Mr Goku is new here, after all, and might run into some things he doesn't understand. If we live close to each other, it'll be convenient for him to find me."
There was another point he didn't mention. Although Hiruzen had allowed Goku to live in the village, he wasn't completely at ease.
Arranging for him to live nearby was also a measure to ensure that if Goku ever acted against Konoha's interests, Kakashi could arrive in time to stop him.
While Kakashi had agreed to this, he didn't really think much of it.
He was confident Goku would never do such a thing, and besides... whether he could even win a fight against Goku was highly questionable.
The Hokage was really overestimating him.
Meanwhile, in a dark, underground chamber somewhere in Konoha. Danzo sat on a chair, looking down at the several Root ninja kneeling before him.
"Find out where that man is staying tonight, and bring him to me. Alive!" he commanded coldly.
"Yes, Lord Danzo!"
Soon, evening arrived.
"Goku, I'll be counting on you for training again tomorrow!" Naruto said with a wide grin, rubbing his head in front of Goku's house.
After Goku had seen his new home, Naruto and the others had continued to show him around Konoha and were only now preparing to part ways.
"Goku-sensei, me too! I'll be in your care tomorrow!" Sakura said, glancing at Sasuke and clasping her hands together.
In truth, she wasn't particularly interested in ki training at the moment, but since Sasuke was joining, she decided to join as well.
"Me too," Sasuke said concisely after the other two had spoken.
"Haha, no problem," Goku replied with a simple-minded laugh, rubbing his head.
He was also curious to see how far Naruto and the others could progress in their training. He would be very happy if they could one day find a good match for him.
"I happen to be free tomorrow, so I'll come and watch as well," Kakashi, who had been watching them with a smile, chimed in.
As their teacher, it was only natural for him to be concerned about his students' training. It definitely wasn't because he was curious about how one trains in ki!
After saying goodbye to everyone, Goku entered his new home and smiled as he looked at the various daily necessities and food on the table and floor.
"Well, the people in this world are pretty friendly."
These items had all been purchased with the help of Naruto and the others during their walk today.
They had insisted that Goku should feel at home here. Goku, of course, accepted everything, and so the house was now fully stocked.
He casually picked up an apple and, in just a few bites, devoured it down to the core. He tossed the core into the trash can, then stuffed the rest of the food into the refrigerator.
Next, he grabbed a towel, toothbrush, and other toiletries from the pile of supplies and headed for the bathroom.
In all the days he had been in this world, he hadn't had a proper bath yet.
Splash!!
"Ah! This feels great~" he moaned in comfort as he slipped into the tub filled with hot water.
He had only been soaking for a moment when his eyes suddenly hardened, his gaze piercing through the wall to the outside of the house.
At that moment, four uninvited guests wearing animal masks had arrived outside his residence.
The one in the lead spoke to the other three. "This is the place. When we capture him, try to be as quiet as possible. We can't let Kakashi find out, or things will get complicated."
"Yes, sir!"
With that, the four of them moved, leaping through an open window into Goku's house.
"The bathroom."
After searching the house, the four of them finally set their sights on the tightly closed bathroom door.
Click.
One of them easily turned the handle, and the four of them filed in. However, upon entering the bathroom, they found it empty, with no one in sight.
"Hey, are you guys looking for me?"
Just then, a spiky head poked in through the doorway, looking at them with a clueless expression.
"Get him!" The leader's eye twitched. He was the first to react, drawing a kunai and lunging at Goku. Lord Danzo had only ordered them to bring the target back alive.
As long as he wasn't dead, a missing arm or leg wouldn't be a major issue. Besides, he could already tell this target might be tricky.
If they hadn't used their weapons, they might not have been able to take him down.
Just as he was contemplating which of Goku's arms to remove first, he saw a fist rapidly growing larger in his vision.
POW!!
His mask shattered as a spray of tears and blood erupted from his face, blurring his vision.
In the next moment, he couldn't see anything at all because he had lost consciousness and entered a peaceful, baby-like slumber.
Thud!
His body flew backwards, crashing into a teammate who couldn't dodge in time. The teammate's vision also went black as he, too, fell into a deep sleep.
The remaining two were startled but did not retreat. They charged at Goku from the left and right.
As members of Root, they had long since abandoned their emotions, coldly and resolutely carrying out every order given by Danzo.
Even if it meant certain death, they would charge forward without hesitation. They had sworn to follow Danzo to the death, ready to offer up their very lives for him!
But at this moment, their resolve was clearly futile.
Goku's figure suddenly flickered. Before they could even perceive his movement, he had passed between them and appeared at their backs.
He then swung his hands backwards, and two swift karate chops landed gently on the napes of their necks.
The two of them had no time to react. They fell face-first onto the floor with a solid thud and lay there, motionless.
"So, who are these guys?" Having finished, Goku scratched his head, looking a little troubled.
"Ah, whatever. Didn't Kakashi say I could find him if I had a problem? I'll go find him now."
After only a second, he gave up on trying to figure it out. He then tucked two of the men under his arms and picked up the other two by their collars.
"Hmm~ Flying over would be a bit of a hassle. I'll use Instant Transmission. Kakashi's ki... ah, found it!"
After locking onto Kakashi's ki, his eyes lit up, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot, along with the four unconscious bodies he was carrying.
Inside Kakashi's house.
At that moment, Kakashi was happily engrossed in reading "Icha Icha Paradise."
"Hiss~~ This description! Lord Jiraiya's writing skills have improved again."
For some reason, his face suddenly turned beet red, and a little steam even started to rise from his head.
In the next second.
"Yo, Kakashi! Whatcha reading?"
CRASH!!
CLANG, BANG, CLATTER
THUD!!
