[Hokage] Secrets of the Fathers [Fourth Generation Center]

So another week passed in the blink of an eye

sunrise and sunset

It's around 8pm and it's getting dark.Looking up from a distance, the stars in the sky seem to be mist thrown out from the waves of the sea of ​​trees.If it were before, it would be really beautiful.But now, at a glance, there is not only a vast and bright place, but also a tall, thin, gray, white thorn thing blocking the view. It is the new Hokage Tower who has been officially nicknamed a Flammulina enoki mushroom.The New Hokage Studio seems to particularly like to work at night. The pale light source reflects the shadowy workers, making it look like a nest of some unknown existence.All in all, this is a strange building.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the always eccentric ANBU Kakashi has fallen in love with this place.He is now sitting on the edge of the umbrella-shaped part of the Flammulina enoki mushroom, puffing away smoke and subconsciously hiding in the shadows.He likes the emptiness here, which is conducive to thinking.Kakashi needed to think now, and he was thinking.

Sudden.

"Bang bang." The wall of the future Anshi Minister's office was knocked loudly.

"Come in." Minister An's answer was also very clear.

"You're talking." Kakashi looked back at the young cat-faced ANBU standing in front of him with an unhappy expression, and he had the urge to turn his back on the spot.

However, this little ANBU with beast-like intuition instantly gave up the ANBU's traditional eye contact method and spoke in time, "The acting captain of the T-Team of the ANBU's Intelligence Section reports to His Excellency the ANBU Minister."

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, "Nonsense, I know who you are, I'm asking you why you are here."

"I don't know." The little ANBU stood at attention, also very confused, "Didn't you ask me to report to you immediately after I changed my shift?"

"Oh." Kakashi responded, and then he began to regret that he had forgotten to go back to his basement in time, but now that it was over, he could only stand up and open the folder that was already hot on his pussy.Then he saw what he needed, the Promotion Order, No. 07.Kakashi decisively picked up the pen and drew a line on it to indicate completion.Then he threw out the thin, still warm paper.

The little ANBU quickly stretched out his hand to hold him back, but the confusion on his face became even worse.

"You can't see if you have long eyes." Kakashi sighed, "I'll give you a promotion, brat, get rid of the acting role, and make you the 14-year-old ANBU captain."

"Compared to Sir and Itachi-senpai, the humble position is far inferior." The little ANBU did not jump up with joy as Kakashi imagined, but still calmly saluted, then stood up straight and stared at his boss's face with more confidence. "Sir, since I am qualified to become the captain of the ANBU, please accept my application. I volunteer to join the Yondaime Hokage's guard and fight for the great cause of protecting world peace throughout my life."

"&a;#8943;&a;#8943;"

"If you don't speak, you are acquiescing." The little ANBU's voice started to sound a little excited.

The only answers he received were his own echo and the hammer and chainsaw at the construction site downstairs.

"Sir, Kakashi-sama." The little ANBU will not be discouraged. He will pursue the victory. "Although my strength is not as good as that of several captains, I am making rapid progress. I also know that according to the usual practice, you will not approve it frequently. I applied for an S-level mission from an underage ANBU. Since there is no shortage of me for big missions in the field, it is a good decision to make the best use of my resources, Kakashi-sama, by letting me shine beside the Yondaime-sama."

"Hey, you know you're underage." Kakashi rolled his eyes.

"But Shiranui Genma-senpai was my age when he became the Hokage's secret guard." The young ANBU was unconvinced, "And his strength is so poor."

"He's very good at pleasing people."

"I can tell jokes."

"&a;#8943;&a;#8943;"

"I'm really good at telling jokes."

&a;#8943;&a;#8943;

Finally, Kakashi decided to end this unquestionable argument as soon as possible, "Then are you good at cooking?"

"I learn things quickly."

"&a;#8943;&a;#8943;"

"I learn things really fast."

After hearing this, Kakashi suddenly felt weak and wanted to pull his hair, "Okay, I know you are good enough, so you became the ANBU of Hokage."

"Can&a;#8943;&a;#8943;"

"No but, get your promotion order and do whatever you need to do."

"Yes." The little Anbu had no choice but to take a quick two steps and jump out of the window. His instinct told him that the offended Kakashi was very dangerous.

Kakashi looked at the young subordinate who jumped off the building, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.He felt that now he should throw something to vent his anger.But looking around, apart from the folder in his hand, there was only the wall.So Kakashi could only take a deep breath, continue to sit down, and sighed with a grimace. Since he was discovered by those brats, it turns out that the seniors who were born in the Hokage Guards are just like that, and his team is not easy to lead.Especially the useless Shiranui Genma, who dares to hold a high position but cannot convince the public with his strength. He is as useless as ever. If only he could gain some more energy... ;#8943;

"Puff." Suddenly there was another knock on the wall.

"Come in." Kakashi turned around.

"&a;#8943;&a;#8943;"

"Speak." Kakashi looked at another one wearing a smiling dog mask who was black from head to toe.

"Sir, you asked me to come here." The voice was a little hesitant, as if he was still not used to his boss's new sitting posture.

"Oh." Kakashi opened the folder and threw out another piece of paper, "Your transfer order."

"Yes, sir." The voice no longer hesitated and sounded richer.

"What else do you want?" Kakashi sighed, looking at the subordinate who poked in front of him without saying a word.

"Since it's a transfer, I would like to join the Hokage Guards."

"&a;#8943;&a;#8943;"

"I would like to apply to join the Hokage Guards."

"Before I regret it, open your order and read it silently with your blind eyes. Then take this piece of paper and go to Hatake's old house, my home, to find the captain of the night shift of the Hokage Guards, the red-eyed rabbit who died of the disease." Cassie suppressed his roar, thinking that he would give some more instructions after his breathing became smoother, but the target of his roar disappeared in a burst of red light without even looking at it.

"Asshole." Kakashi almost couldn't breathe, so he unconsciously grabbed the hair on his head and pulled it, thinking and thinking in his mind, but he just couldn't figure it out. Almost all the younger elites in Konoha were in ANBU. , but no matter how hard I try, I can’t pick out a few serious people.

So the moon set and the sun rose, the AN Minister, who had never been serious, fell asleep with his folder on his pillow, well, in his rough new office.

Until the next day, 7 o'clock in the morning

After finishing his morning exercise, Naruto stood in the kitchen preparing hot breakfast when he found two notes:

1. I ate the pie in the refrigerator and didn’t go home at noon.Dad, 6:45.

2. Yamato has something to do temporarily, and your class’s cleaning task at the Hokage Building today has been cancelled.And I won't go home at noon.Kakashi, 6:55.

"Who cares whether you come back or not, idiot Kakashi." Naruto sighed, took off two pieces of paper and stuffed them into his pocket.Then open the refrigerator, take out a few eggs and fry them in a pan.

"Didn't you eat pie in the morning?" A voice came closer and closer along with the scent of oil.

"Dad left early today and ate it." Naruto could already ignore Gaara who got up when he smelled the food, "You toast the bread."

"Your dad has an unexpectedly good appetite today." Gaara opened the refrigerator and frowned at the plate with not even a single crumb of cake left.

"Kakashi also came back for dinner this morning." Naruto turned around to look at Gaara, whose face was full of disappointment, and comforted him, "I know you are no longer interested in bread with eggs, but now there are only this."

"Didn't Kakashi say yesterday that he wouldn't come back to eat in the morning?"

"But he's back," Naruto urged, "Toast bread and squeeze juice."

Gaara acted obediently.

A few minutes later, the Namikaze family's traditional breakfast was placed on the table.

"Why are you baking so many rusks?" Naruto's throat felt a little depressed.

"Eating it and not eating it are two different things." Gaara picked up a piece of bread with eggs, ham, meat floss, and lettuce. He poured a thick layer of ketchup and started stuffing it into his mouth. "Your dad is right. Eat to be full.”

Naruto was unable to reply, but he immediately became energetic again.I saw him deliberately looking left and right, as if to make sure that no one else would suddenly appear, then he took out a book from his arms, followed Kakashi's example, eating and reading, and swaying with his feet up.

"Bakuli Paradise" Gaara glanced at the cover of Ryo Blind Eyes, "Kakashi is really not afraid of death."

"He's afraid." Naruto licked his oily fingers and turned the pages of the book lightly, "What a young man. Are you old enough to be interested in the adult world?"

Gaara sighed softly, looking at Naruto's pretense, and lowered his head silently, he was afraid that he couldn't help but slap the young master of the Hokage family.

But how could Naruto silence Gaara, "Let me tell you, the book in my hand has not even been read by Kakashi, it was just taken off the printing press.

"Oh."

"You really don't want to be curious, sir?

world. "

"I am not in a hurry."

"That, that, that." Naruto finally grinned and flashed his eight teeth at Gaara, "Then aren't you curious about how I got the book?"

"Spontaneously."

"Then aren't you curious about how he deceived my father's strict defense?" Naruto was a little anxious.

Your father is too lazy to care about you.But seeing the look on Naruto's face that he wouldn't let him have a good meal unless he was satisfied, Gaara still pretended to be a fool and said, "Yeah."

"Thump thump thump thump." Naruto turned his hand, and a red little sperm appeared with its tongue sticking out.

The corner of Gaara's mouth twitched&a;#8943;&a;#8943; He was deeply impressed by this thing called Ji. The last time Naruto called this thing out, he called him the wrong father and almost collapsed. Namikaze House, "Don't practice summoning in the house, your father clearly told you"

"You're a brat from the Land of Wind. This is Kakashi's cheapskate's house, not Minato-sama's." Little Ji glanced at Gaara, jumped up on the table, and waved his flippers at Naruto, "Juice."

"Yes, yes, there is a lot of juice, there is not enough for Gaara to squeeze." Naruto quickly poured a big cup for his new friend, and inserted a root canal thoughtfully, very attentively, "Haha, what else do you want to eat? ,just saying."

"Haha." Ji Mo wiped his mouth, "You have something to ask me for."

"How can things between friends be considered begging?" Naruto suddenly jumped on the chair and stretched out his arms to hug Xiao, "But... last time I heard you tell me about your father and Grandpa Jiraiya and my father were invincible on the battlefield, and now I suddenly yearn for that era."

He raised his eyes and yawned, "What's so exciting about fighting?"

"Grandpa Jiraiya said, a man must aspire to make achievements."

"What he said is true, but hearing it once is not enough. I have grown up listening to my dad reminiscing about the glorious past, and my ears have become numb."

"But you only talked about Konoha 42 years last time, and my father never told me about the past."

"But that's not what you said when you called me here today." Ji took out the note from Kakashi from Naruto's pocket with some displeasure, "You said you can only take me with you when you go on a mission. Go visit the Hokage Tower."

"But I didn't say I couldn't take you there without a mission...hahaha." Naruto Shunma stared at the bread in Gaara's hand, still scratching his teeth, frustrated. He started, "It's a great building with such a history. It's a pity that it will be demolished when the replacement is completed. If you don't take the time to take a look, you won't have a chance in the future. Don't you think so, Gaara-san?"

&a;#8943;&a;#8943;

"If you have nothing to do today, you can come and sit in my office." Gaara's back was hairy when Naruto and the latter reacted, and finally he could only sigh and send out the invitation.

"Your office, I'm a little genin. Isn't it a bit bad?" Naruto took advantage of him and acted obediently. He winked and arched Gaara with his shoulders.

Gaara shook Naruto off and continued to sigh, "My office is a diplomatic office. Technically, even if your father wants to find me, he has to knock on the door first."

"Ah, Gaara, aren't you taking advantage of a loophole in the regulations? If you are found out, you won't be implicated." Naruto looked at the sky and rolled his eyes.

"So as an accomplice, I will not ask for trouble to betray you." Gaara gritted his teeth. As a kid who had just learned how to bow to reality, he could not stop the Hokage master's impulsive determination and determination. capable.Anyway, isn't it the responsibility of Anbu-sama to guard the Hokage Tower?

So, until the afternoon, the old Hokage Studio did not sound the alarm.

Old Hokage Building, Hokage Office

The Hokage went to a meeting early in the morning and has not returned yet.As for Itachi, he stayed in the office this morning as usual, sorting out the various official documents that were flying in like snow. Two hours had passed since his lunch time, and he still hadn't finished eating.But so what? He couldn't walk away.Because the owner of the office could come back at any time, it would be easy if the Hokage chose to take a rest, but if he sat down and continued working, he would have to follow Itachi without saying a word. He already began to miss the time when he just joined the job, simply serving tea, pouring water, sweeping the floor and running errands. Classifying documents at most is boring, but the best part is that it is easy. Unlike now, he not only classifies documents, but also determines the priorities and summarizes the contents of each document.What does this mean? It means that he has to read those documents before Hokage reads them. Sometimes they are at the height of his waist, sometimes they are twice his height. Every day, and the most important thing is&a;#8943; &a;#8943;He didn't do well.

So Itachi was now leaning on the Hokage's big table with both hands, and his usually straight back was a little slumped.He was about to expire. If it weren't for the fact that there weren't a lot of documents today, he felt like he was actually dying.However, Itachi looked at the small mountain of documents on the table and the last pile of unread items in his hand, evaluated his perseverance, and judged that he should still be able to finish reading it before dying... If he didn't show up today For new files.

Ok.

I don’t know if some personnel arrangement memos from ANBU this month are important or not.

The protest letter from the elder group against the bulldozing of the old Hokage Building should be considered important.

Is it important for young Konoha ninjas to apply for marriage this year?

The incomprehensible report of domestic damage after last month's heavy rain should be important.

The thank-you letters written by the king and his new wife to the Hokage were important or not.

&a;#8943;&a;#8943;

&a;#8943;&a;#8943;

&a;#8943;&a;#8943;

Finally, Itachi slowly moved his stiff shoulders and neck, and leaned on the only chair in the office, unable to stand.If this wasn't the Hokage's chair, Itachi knew that he would definitely sit down and never remember why the Hokage hadn't talked to him about his new job until now. He had written such a scolding resignation letter and at least wanted to punish him. Give me a scolding.Besides, if the Hokage doesn't get angry or scold him, how can he pretend to be seriously hurt and run away with a low self-esteem?

So Itachi glanced at the drawer where the snacks were placed again.Just pull it open.The number of candies and cookies is decreasing day by day, but his resignation letter is still there.Maybe it was too inconspicuous. Maybe he should take out the envelope and put it in again.

But he didn't succeed, because in a flash of golden light, the Hokage, who would come back at any time, appeared in front of him, face to face with him.

Itachi was a little embarrassed, his hand was still in the drawer. Should he take the opportunity to just print out his resignation letter and say he was resigning?

But Itachi still didn't have to worry about it. The Hokage had already spoken, "You're shy again, Itachi. I told you that when you're hungry, you should come and get the cookies yourself without being polite. Although your father has strictly prohibited you from eating randomly since you were a child, but now I’m not someone else.”

"I, I'm not." Itachi blushed and wanted to retort, but after hearing what the Hokage said without any logic, he didn't know how to respond.

Our Hokage didn't care what his subordinates wanted to say, he just grabbed a handful of biscuits and stuffed them directly into Itachi's hand, "I'm really busy today, so I'd like to excuse you to nibble on the biscuits for a cushion, and then you can have a good meal when you get home in the evening. "

"Me." Itachi grabbed the biscuit and was completely unresponsive.

"I don't want to be a drag on the meeting." Minato couldn't help but laugh when he saw Itachi standing there. This kid is really interesting, "You can have your mother's warm set meal tonight. Your mother asked you to go home for dinner at night."

"Eh"

"Your mother has successfully completed the mission of protecting the king's honeymoon cruise. Remember to congratulate her." Minato lowered his head and remained calm while flipping through Itachi's work results.

"Ah." Itachi glanced at the Hokage checking, nervously put the biscuits into his trouser pocket, closed the drawer, and then poured water out of habit.

"Yeah." Minato took a sip from the cup and continued to check, "Also, your mother said that your family hasn't been able to sit down and have a good meal together since the Chinese New Year. She asked for a few days off for you. From get off work today to The day after tomorrow at noon.”

"Yes." Itachi's eyes were still stuck on that drawer. Although he was happy that his mother was home and on vacation, what he wanted was to resign. Resign.

"Okay, 012110, hurry up." Minato suddenly became serious. He tapped the cup, sat back in his seat, closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, "Start with the document you think is the least important."

"Yes, sir." Itachi picked up the thermos and poured water for the Hokage, and began to recite the document feebly.

"Speak louder, you haven't eaten yet." The Hokage knocked on the table again.

"No, sir." Itachi straightened up and stood at attention, "I received 16 letters of protest today, the first one..."

"Forget it. You'd better eat the biscuits first, Itachi." Minato listened to his subordinate's still weak tone, sighed, and decisively took out another bag of biscuits, tore open the package and stuffed it into Itachi's hand.

"I'm not hungry sir."

"Stop talking nonsense. Eat your food." Minato rummaged through the drawer again, found a can of coffee with milk, opened it and handed it to Itachi, "Be smarter from now on. If you can't leave, ask the ANBU on duty at the door to give you a canteen. You're so young. Even if your stomach is full and hungry, you can't bear it. If you end up like me in the future, you will suffer the same."

"Yes, sir." Under the serious eyes of the Hokage, Itachi could only eat cookies and drink coffee.He stared intently, a little afraid to look at the drawer again, and he found that something strange was slowly rising in his heart.

Change is called progress when it has meaning

&a;#8943;&a;#8943;&a;#8943;&a;#8943;&a;#8943;&a;#8943;&a;#8943;&a;#8943;&a;#8943;&a;#8943;&a;#8943;

In late May of 61 in Konoha, everyone was busy
