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

Konoha 59 years

Fire Country Konoha

12 April

2:28pm

When Minato Namikaze walked into the small conference room, Yamanaka Kaiichi and Uchiha Fugaku were arguing enthusiastically, completely ignoring the two coughs of the fourth generation Hokage who presided over the meeting to announce the meeting.As a result, Minato and the other department heads present at the meeting could only watch as their two old comrades continued to bicker.

"Haiichi Yamanaka, this is the budget meeting. Do you know what a budget meeting is? Everyone is so busy, so don't waste time on irrelevant things."

"Why is this so irrelevant? If dormitory No. [-] is retained and not demolished, the reconstruction plan will need to be revised, and of course the budget will also need to be recalculated."

"You also know that you have to recalculate. You have to do it. Don't drag our humanoid calculator No. [-]." Uchiha Fugaku stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand on the table, "What time is it now? It's New Year's Day soon. Honey, I have no interest in working overtime during family reunions."

"You, you, how could you say such irresponsible words?" Yamanaka Hai was furious. He squeezed out of his chair and stood up, slapping his hands on the table. "Back then, your security department plan was handed in half a month late. , I didn’t have time to solicit residents’ opinions in advance when I was doing the comprehensive planning here.”

"We need to ask for their opinion" Fugaku sneered and lit another cigarette.

"Why don't we need to demolish ordinary houses, but dormitories owned by our own people? Why can't we discuss it?"

"Please, please, demolition of private houses is something that needs to be carefully discussed with others. Okay, we are ninjas, we are ninjas. Please, Konoha is a military fortress. What does it mean to have a mountain of military orders? What does it mean to obey the superiors and obey the subordinates? It's okay if the superiors have made a decision and they obey it honestly." Just because of their reckless behavior this time, Dormitory No. [-] cannot be kept even if it really has value. Use your cerebellum and think about it. If we change the plan as soon as they protest, what do you think? What do those young people who are not afraid of anything think? Please, don’t give them the bad impression that they can easily achieve all their wishes by just blocking the door of the office."

"Anyway, it's not you Uchiha who is blocked. Look carefully at the application form. They are not unreasonable and make sense." Only then did Yamanaka Haiichi finally remember to ask his Hokage for help, "Fourth Generation Sir, the eldest son of the Uchiha family. The young master has never lived in a dormitory and he doesn’t understand, but you”

"One commemorative monument is enough." Namikaze Minato finally interrupted Haiichi who wanted to continue, "Tear it down."

"Yes, sir." Yamanaka Haiichi sat back in his seat with a sigh of relief.

"Then, let's get down to business. It's 2:37 in the afternoon, and I still have a lot of work backlogged there, so I hope to end the meeting before 3 o'clock." Namikaze Minato nodded at the heads of departments who had instantly entered work mode. The head said, "I have read all your budget reports. Just to confirm, the conflicts in financial allocation are mainly concentrated in the intelligence department and the security department, right?"

"Yes, sir." Uchiha Fugaku and Nara Shikaku stood up.

"I thought about it and first agreed to the budget plan of the intelligence department. Therefore, there is no objection to the intelligence department's request to increase funding to 20 points. Now let's start the vote by show of hands, who is in favor and who is against." Minato raised his right hand first.

"Okay, passed 6 to [-]." Minato signed the document in front of him, indicating that Fugaku, the only one who didn't raise his hand, could speak, "Next, from the Security Department, convince me."

Uchiha Fugaku stood up, "I know that the village is not very well off now, but according to the economic agreement just signed, the General Staff predicts that next year the commercial exchanges between the two countries will be more than seven times more than in previous years. Then through business, other exchanges will only increase. Less. More people means more things. I agree with increasing the money for the Intelligence Department, but it cannot be as high as 7 points. Even if they really need 20 points, they cannot reduce the security funding of our department. Although My security mission here is to provide internal services only to the inside but not to the outside world. Any changes in the outside world will not have much impact on us. But everyone, please don’t forget that the world is not yet stable enough for businessmen to travel around the world without using force to protect them. So, that is to say, the mission hall next year will definitely be more full than now, and there will definitely be more non-Konoha armed forces in Konoha. Do you want to see Konoha in chaos? If you don't want to, please guarantee the cost of maintaining order, okay? The budget of 20 points is really not enough. Also”

"Yeah." Minato stopped Fugaku who had a tendency to talk at length. He almost forgot that Uchiha's little fan liked to fan the fire the most, "I can use the money here tightly, and the Hokage's office will allocate one to you. Click, it’s almost done.”

"Thank you, but 7 points are not enough." Fugaku pretended not to see Minato who kept looking at his watch, "There is also the Chunin Exam in March. Although the Chunin Exam is nothing special, the Intelligence Department is not doubting Orochi. Are Maru-senpai and Suna Ninja going to take advantage of this opportunity to do something? Since we can intercept the information, other ninjas will smell something no matter how useless they are. Who knows what other cats and dogs will want to take the opportunity to gamble and invite so many people? Isn't it just to show off Konoha's strength that people come to watch a few genin fight? If there is trouble, shouldn't I add 4 more reserve funds just in case?"

"The Hokage's office will dial another spot for you." Minato frowned and interrupted Fugaku again, "The most is the most. You can't move the others, you know."

"But 8 points are not enough, as you know." Fugaku also wrinkled his face, "What if something happens?"

"It's not just in case, don't worry. If you encounter difficulties, you can still ask other departments for help." Minato sighed, "If you keep at it, the financial crisis will be solved soon."

"But really" Fugaku still wanted to fight for it again.

"There is nothing we can do about security breaches, Uchiha Fugaku. You have to learn to interact more with other departments." Minato felt a headache, "Hey, forget it, that's it, the Presbyterian Council and the Council will each have one How about giving it to you?”

"Of course" Fugaku finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his "ok" was interrupted before he could say it.

"Oppose the General Staff and oppose the Fourth Generation." Yamanaka Haiichi stood up suddenly, "The Hokage's office is fine, but there are no representatives from the Presbyterian Council and the Council. Such a casual decision will be very troublesome if someone makes a fuss in the future."

"Does this have anything to do with us? The meeting notice was sent out yesterday." Minato Namikaze replied calmly with his chin on his hand, "Besides, any trouble is my trouble, I will solve it, it's 2:50 now. We still have 10 minutes. Let’s start discussing the next topic. We will go to the capital to see the king during the New Year. The guard and I will leave on the 30th and return on the 3rd as in previous years. You don’t have any objections to who should be on duty?”

"No objection, no objection. Isn't this settled a long time ago?" The satisfied Fugaku quickly answered, and the others nodded naturally.

"That's good." Minato smiled as if he suddenly remembered, "By the way, I plan to take Naruto with me this year."

The whole room was silent.

Suddenly everyone stopped moving and looked at their boss.

"Sir, isn't this good?"

"Please think again."

& nb

sp;"I've thought about it carefully." Minato replied.

"But the fourth generation"

"Ah, you've heard it all. I lost the bet yesterday and promised Naruto any wish." Minato continued to smile, "I've already agreed, so you can't keep your promise."

"But"

"My Naruto told me that he is already 12 years old and has not left Konoha yet."

"Watergate."

"His classmates, well, that is, your sons and daughters, sometimes they can go out with you or your elders. But you also know that there are only two people in our family. I myself have only been in Konoha Kingdom for many years. .”

""

"Well, Yondaime-sama, Master Naruto will always receive missions from all over the world." Hinata Hiashi looked at the other silent people and spoke for the first time today.

"I told him the same thing."

""

"But he said," Namikaze Minato pointed a finger at himself, "I can't go on a mission with him."

"But my lord, the council and the elders will not agree." Yamanaka Haiichi was worried, "Although we are not afraid of anything, we are busy this year, why do you need to ask for trouble."

Minato blinked and said to himself, "Hey, although ninjas don't have the habit of deliberately getting together during the New Year and the holidays, but speaking of it, I really haven't spent the New Year with Naruto."

""

"It's the Chinese New Year after all."

""

"Hey, don't worry, that's it. Anyway, this matter is settled. Okay, okay. Let's break up the meeting now." A golden light flashed in the silence, and Namikaze Minato had returned to his own office, leaving only A few dumbfounded fools fell down.

Fool No. [-] said, "I'll just say that he seems to be in a bad mood today. After all, it's the Chinese New Year. Let's go and have fun."

The fools all covered their faces, "The Security Department just brought Naruto with them. Meeting the Lord of the Kingdom is not an outing."

Fool No. [-] Uchiha sighed, "You don't need to remind me."

Then he opened the door and left, walking through the corridor where the lights were never turned on.Like everyone else, he also felt that it was almost impossible for Minato to change his mind now. He had better quickly renegotiate the issue of accompanying guards with his Hokage-sama.Moreover, if you dare to make casual decisions and cause trouble to others, you will always be scolded.

So 10 minutes later

"Are you feeling better?" Uchiha Fugaku asked softly, looking at the Fourth Hokage who was bending over to read the documents.

"I didn't behave that badly today." Minato picked up the coffee cup, which was empty, "012110."

"Yes, sir." Itachi refilled his glass.Looking at the empty coffee pot again, he turned around and went out.

"Minato, you are really careless this time." Fugaku advised Minato after seeing Itachi had left.

"I promised Naruto. Besides, we will always spend the next year together." Minato drank another cup of coffee.He rummaged through the drawer, took out the instant coffee and opened the can and continued, "But don't worry, I know what I am doing every time I go to the country, and I will not delay the follow-up tasks."

"I thought you didn't know how complicated the situation in the capital is now." Fugaku said softly, "Besides, it wouldn't be good to expose Naruto to broad daylight."

"I know"

"You know what the devil" Uchiha Fugaku grabbed Minato's coffee, "Go and rest when you are tired. Don't drink this kind of stuff all the time. It's bad for your health. Don't think about it again."

"I promised Naruto. My son said he wanted to spend New Year's Eve with me."

"That"

Minato suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Uchiha Fugaku's words, his face stiffened, "Clear the place."

Clearance

As soon as Itachi pushed the door open and closed it, the hand holding the coffee pot paused. He looked at his father, who looked as expressionless as his boss.

Fugaku grabbed his overwhelmed son and was about to pull him out.Just hearing a "bang", the door of the Hokage's office was pushed open again.

"I heard that you are taking Naruto to the capital."

It was the first time Itachi saw the third generation push open the door and come in so angry.

"Yes." Itachi heard the fourth generation's affirmative answer. He was just thinking about pouring a cup of coffee for the third generation when his father pushed him out of the door.

The door closed quickly.

Itachi stared blankly at his father who left quickly, and suddenly realized that he didn't know what else to do except stand there stupidly.Is there going to be another conflict between the third and fourth generations? Although I have clearly learned from my father that the two leaders have conflicts, but

Suddenly, Itachi noticed a person appearing on his back, holding his shoulder.

He turned around and breathed a sigh of relief. They were secret guards, seven of them.It seems that all the secret guards on duty nearby are already standing in the corridor, "Senior"

keep quiet.

Itachi got these four words from the silent lips of the person who took off the mask.At this time, he began to notice the sounds in the office.

"Who allowed you to take the Jinchuuriki out of the village?"

""

"Do you know how easy it is for an untrained Jinchuuriki to go berserk?"

""

"Do you know how many people would die if the Jinchuuriki went on a rampage in a place like the capital?"

""

"Have you forgotten how Sunagakure's one-tailed man destroyed almost half of their village and made them even more depressed?"

""

"you"

"I just want to take my son to visit the capital. He has been wanting to go there for a long time."

"Wave Wind Minato"

"Sandaime-sama, Uzumaki Naruto is my son, biological, and only one. Sunagakure's child has a name. His name is Gaara."

How can you deceive a child?

Konoha, December 59, 12, there are two days left until the New Year.

On this day, Uchiha Itachi heard for the first time that the legendary Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki of Konoha was named Uzumaki Naruto, while Sunagakure's One-Tailed Jinchuriki was originally named Gaara.

On this day, Uzumaki Naruto talked to his grandson about his grandfather's father after his hair turned gray. He would often use this day to prove that a man will do what he promises.
