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

Konoha lacked a chief of staff, at least in the eyes of outsiders, there was no difference.

"Huh, huh."

Fire Country Konoha, Hokage's Office

The sun was shining brightly outside, but he was still sleeping.

Ever since he went to work, Itachi heard the very indecent sleeping sound in the Hokage's lounge.Of course not Naruto.The Hokage has recently been spending a whole morning in the small conference room with the Minister of Intelligence every day, just to barely replace Konoha's Humanoid Calculator No. [-], which was once running at high speed.Therefore, the Hokage Lounge became a good sleeping place for a lazy guy who often worked in the middle of the night.Anyway, as long as the Hokage allows it, this is certainly not a problem, but that annoying voice makes Itachi unable to concentrate.If you can't concentrate, you will make mistakes when dividing files. If you make a mistake, you will be criticized by another annoying person, Shiranui Genma.

To be honest, Shiranui Genma is not a particularly harsh senior. Even when he criticizes, he mainly makes sense inside and outside of his words.But Itachi felt even more unhappy, so unhappy that he even wanted to look for reasons to fight like he was in the field.But when Xuanjian makes a mistake, maybe he should vent his anger and snore on Convenience.So many times, Itachi wanted to find an opportunity to kick him into the lounge and then spit fire.

So in order to protect the Hokage's bedroll, which was supposed to be Itachi's job to bind the documents, Genma is now in charge.

Hokage's lounge

"Click." Shiranui Genma opened the mechanism of the antique binding table.

Then someone opened his eyes. It wasn't the one who was snoring, but the one who was snoring seemed to have moved and stopped making any sound.

"I'm sorry, Shisui, for waking you up." Genma opened his mouth, "Next time I will remember to oil the machine before changing the nails."

"No, I think you can make a noise earlier next time." The red-eyed secret guard over there still maintained his sleeping position, folding his arms and leaning straight against the wall, looking back silently.Then he glanced at the other person in black clothes who was lying on the Hokage's bed, making the noise that kept him awake. He opened his mouth and said, "It's really ugly. His saliva even touched the Yondaime-sama's pillow towel."

"I don't think you will dislike him." Genjian, who had already replaced the nails, continued to work. He looked up and answered the man over there who was dipping the brush in ink.

Zhisui's eyes were red, he held a pen, walked up cautiously, and then decisively drew a mouth, thick lips, and two incisors on the mask that was already wet, "How about"

"I remember he didn't look like this before." Genma leaned over and took a look, "But it's not unusual for a high-level field ninja to be disfigured."

"Interesting idea." Shisui, whose interest was still undiminished, took up some more ink. The guy burying the body next to Kakashi was Kakashi, with a line drawn on his face, "Have you ever felt that our AN Minister has been a mess since he took office? Sort of."

"Slouch" Xuanjian stuffed the bound documents into the filing cabinet one by one.

"No, it's useless. As a ninja leader walking in ANBU, he is actually sleeping so soundly."

"It proves that he at least trusts us. Let him sleep. Although he is much stronger than Itachi, documents like that are still too consuming for him." Genma finished nailing the documents and couldn't help but watch them. It looked neat and tidy, but immediately, he picked up the rag again and started wiping the table.

"You are really diligent." Shisui finally put ink on Kakashi's nose, which was the fat pear-shaped hole. He was carefully painting it black, "But, isn't it time to wake him up? At that point It’s time to return to the ANBU assignment mission statement.”

"Let him sleep. I'll go run for him later. Anyway, it's part of the mission statement issued by the General Staff to the Anbu, and it's also within my scope of authority." Genma finally put down the rag, "Besides, I don't think he's awake. It would be even more troublesome. Don’t forget, who was the one who assigned the D-level task to the male jounin team to purchase special sanitary products for women last time?"

"For him, that was not a mistake." Shisui also put down his pen, "In other words, it's a miracle that he has survived this long without being shot by his subordinates."

"Anyway, I wanted to do that when I was a kid." Genma washed his hands again and winked at Shisui, "Okay, I'll go out and teach the little cubs first, and you can continue to rest. Ah, don't forget to let Ka Cassie changed the mask before going out, it doesn't matter to us, but we still want to show some face to the Konoha technicians in front of the juniors, Itachi has enough troubles already."

Shisui nodded, looked at Kakashi crawling there again, sighed, continued to lean against the wall, closed his eyes, and applauded his training, but he immediately opened his eyes again, "Ah , Genjian, by the way, send a message to Naruto, his father probably won't be able to come back tonight."

So, he has to be alone tomorrow.

Uzumaki Naruto got up alone. His father worked overtime yesterday and slept in the office. He ate alone. Kakashi didn't seem to come back. He went to the gathering alone. Gaara and him were completely different. He did the task alone. Today's task is to move things. From point A to point B, the task items are a large flowerpot and the holly tree planted inside.Although the big one is as strong as Choji's father, it doesn't take three people at all.So Naruto, who lost the guessing game, could only admit defeat and stand against the tree, slowly tiptoeing behind his two teammates who were wandering around the street.

"I asked, did you two take a detour?" The things were not heavy, but Naruto still felt a little tired.Well, he just couldn't stand Sasuke and Sakura sucking popsicles there.

"No, no." Sasuke and Sakura turned around at the same time and licked the popsicles. They felt that looking at the funny snail Naruto was particularly refreshing.

If the Jinchuuriki who is dragging down his team with his energy can make his teammates happy by carrying a tree on his back, feel free to be embarrassed. Anyway, the most important thing is, as long as you don't leave him alone.Being alone is so boring.So Naruto decisively continued to bark randomly, hoping to attract the attention of his friends, "Ah ah ah, I don't understand. Since we know that the flower pot will explode when the tree grows, why don't we just plant it directly on the ground? Sasuke, we Go to the mission hall to protest later. This kind of mission lowers your IQ."

"The employer paid me, so you have a better service attitude." Sasuke answered so quickly that he had once again forgotten his vow not to answer Naruto's words, but he accidentally looked back at Naruto. That pitiful little look that begged for a chat, he finally took two soft-hearted steps back, parallel to Naruto. His hair was really like a dead star who can't speak. "Why do you, a ninja, have so many people? Why do little genin just obey orders honestly?" Isn’t it good?”

"Why are you starting again? Your father has been talking a lot lately."

"Aren't all retired old men like this?"

"Your mother has been complaining a lot lately."

"My dad also said this."

"Ha" Naruto realized that he could hardly chat with Sasuke anymore, but, "My intuition tells me, Sasuke, your dad is definitely hiding something from you. Is he finally going to tell you who your biological father is?" "

"Naruto Uzumaki is so bad." Sasuke regretted that his intestines were turning green. He looked at the fragile flower pots and flammable branches, held back the fire in his mouth, took out a kunai, and walked around to Naruto. From the back, "Naruto Uzumaki, you think it's really unnecessary to run two steps to reach your destination."

Naruto felt that white hairs of sweat had stood up on his back, and he slowly turned around, "That Sasuke, Sasuke, you are a bad example. You are running around with Choji and his father on your back, just in case you bump into flowers and plants." It will be misunderstood as a prank, it doesn’t matter if I go to your father’s place.”

"My dad is used to me having accidents with you."

"Haha, Sasuke, you are really bad at learning."

"Apologize"

"I'm sorry, I won't joke around anymore. Please forgive me for being rude." Naruto bent ninety degrees, very naked.

But Sasuke became even more wary.

"Really, I didn't hide any tricks this time."

Sasuke continued to be suspicious.

"I sincerely apologize." Naruto was also a little annoyed, "I'm going to keep hiding my tricks and I won't be able to eat Ichiraku Ramen for the rest of my life. I don't believe Sakura's testimony, Sakura."

Sakura had already walked far away. She heard Naruto's yelling, but she didn't look back, because she really had no interest in playing games with two naive little boys today. Anyway, without her, those two people were destined to be good. lifetime.On the contrary, it was Ino, her female friend, who deserved more worry.

Haruno Sakura felt that Yamanaka Ino was a friend to Haruno Sakura.Although they would start fighting as soon as they met.But the fight was just because of the aesthetics of the two of them, eh, they were too tacit.Sakura looked back at Sasuke who was still bickering with Naruto.The second young master of the Uchiha family is still very handsome, with black hair and bright eyes. He is cool on the training field. He is also silly and cute when traveling at home. He is a good source of friendship among besties.

Well, that's not the point.The point is, they are already grown girls and can no longer be as childish as before.Sakura felt that since she knew Sasuke's true face, her face had never turned red because of him, and she felt that it was time to reconcile with Ino.Although the spoiled little princess who wants to save face will most likely force herself to make a bad face for her.But Sakura knew that Ino really needed her at this time.As the opponent who knows her best and a qualified medical ninja, at least, she will not give out those meaningless cheap comfort brain surgeries. How can she guarantee that there will be no problem?

"That's it, I can't give you a 100% guarantee."

Hokage Building, small conference room

"The brain is a special organ after all." Kabuto Yakushi put away the wall chart used to explain to the Hokage and the Minister of Intelligence. "In short, since it is not immediately life-threatening, I still support conservative treatment. And, although Mr. Haiyi does claim to have no adverse reactions , but just in case, it’s better to avoid work first.”

"So, what's Ino's opinion?" Naruto only said

What a sigh.

"Ms. Ino also agrees with my treatment plan."

"Then let Haiyi recuperate in the hospital for a while. He has worked hard these years. How about it, Shikaku?"

However, the intelligence minister, who was in a visibly depressed mood, did not answer.

Minato had no choice but to wave his hand and ask Kabuto to retreat.

A moment of silence.

"Hey. The two of us should hold concurrent posts for the General Staff first. Shikaku, now we have to bite the bullet and promote Genma." The Hokage scratched his head, "We were originally thinking of separating the Ministry of Finance from the General Staff after moving to a new office. , but it’s better to wait, it’s not a bad idea to do finance when your son is older.”

Shikaku still didn't speak.

"Cheer up." Minato wanted to pat Shikaku's shoulder but Shikaku suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Shikaku"

"Conservative treatment is of no use."

"Kabuto Yakushi is already the best medical ninja in Konoha right now."

"He's only 20 years old."

"This has nothing to do with age, don't be too nervous."

"But that Yakushi Kabuto, Hokage-sama, do you dare to swear that you really trust him 100%?"

"We still have to call Tsunade back." The intelligence minister concluded.

"You can cause trouble." Minato broke away from Shikaku's hand, "Since the last surgery, she has been gambling for 8 years. Apart from that, she has done nothing. Forget it, seeing how persistent you are, I will try it tonight Try contacting her."

"No, Minato, now, right here. I know Tsunade has a new Flying Thunder God communicator over there too."

Minato was silent this time. First of all, he gave Tsunade the communicator and did not go through the intelligence department. Secondly, he didn't like the way Shikaku looked at him at all. There was long-lost suspicion in it.But in the end, Minato took a deep breath, and under Shikaku's already unfamiliar gaze, he took out his Flying Thunder God communicator.

"Then, you must keep quiet and, you know, that's Tsunade from the Senju family."

"it is good."

Finally, Minato broadcast Tsunade's ninja number and quickly put it aside without waiting for the connection.

"Ha-Feng-Shui-mon, you little bastard, you know that you made me make the wrong bet, do you know that?" Amidst the noisy dice sounds, the unique angry voice of the Konoha kunoichi came.

"Then you must have won a lot this time." Minato rubbed his forehead and tried his best to smile, "I have something to ask you."

"Oh oh oh, Xiaoxiaoxiao, win, win, Shizune, collect the money and have a big dinner tonight." But that was all that came from the other side.

"Tsunade-ji Senju, Tsunade-san, Tsunade-san" Minato could only call each other, but in the end, under Shikaku's gaze, he cleared his throat and shouted, "Tsunade-san"

"Don't speak in long tones. I don't know Jiraiya's whereabouts. I don't know the whereabouts of the masked man. I haven't received any news that anyone wants to do harm to Konoha. I don't have money to lend you and I won't ask you to borrow money. I won't go back to Konoha." .”

"Tsunade-sister." Minato felt his palms sweating as he listened to that clean paragraph, "How have you been lately? There's really nothing I need to do for you."

"Thanks to you, I just won a big sum. I'm really not short of money."

"Then you can take the money and give it another try now."

"Haha." Tsunade finally laughed, "While I'm in a good mood, Konoha's fourth generation Hokage, you really have a big stomach for little Mizukage and want to ask me to help with it."

"Ms. Mizukage is single and not pregnant. Terumi Mei and I have not had a relationship for even a second. Finally, please don't doubt my loyalty to Kinai, and please don't always focus on strange messages and rumors, okay?" Naruto pressed down. anger.

"As an intelligence officer, gossip is a professional ethic." That person was still frivolous.

"Then have you ever seen people who only get paid and don't work?"

"That's Pension Namikaze Minato. He acts like he's begging for help when he asks for help."

Minato could only take a deep breath under Shikaku's increasingly doubtful gaze, "Okay, Tsunade-san, I was wrong. People in the casino are too talkative. Can you find a quiet place?"

Tsunade didn't answer, there was only the sound of gold coins falling into the bag.

"Sister Tsunade"

"Shut up, it's already out. Also, don't talk with the last word in your mouth. I'm giving you goosebumps. You're in pain this time."

"It's not me, it's Haiichi. Haiichi from the Yamanaka family. Konoha's most important chief of staff, the one you performed surgery on before."

"Oh, I remembered."

"The thing in his head is growing again."

"Oh."

"Can you come back for a while?"

"Do not."

"Stop it, Tsunade-nee."

"Do not."

"Are you angry, Tsunade-san?"

"Stop Minato Namikaze, as an uncle who is nearly 40 years old, please be more conscious and stop talking to me in the same tone you used more than 20 years ago."

"It's okay, Tsunade-sama, it's communication anyway, you can just reminisce about me as a teenager."

"Minato Namikaze, would you like to have some face?"

"Did I say Konoha Jounin Tsunade-hime? As the Fourth Hokage, I order you to return to Konoha without stopping and report to me. Then you will come back obediently."

"I bother"

"In short, I even hope that you will not leave when you come back this time. Nowadays, all the teenagers in Konoha have great potential, but it is really unreasonable to ask young medical ninjas to be comprehensive and experienced. Therefore, whether it is Konoha Hospital or We really need you."

""

"Really. You also know that in Konoha, old and young, and our group of strange middle-aged people have also died of illness, there are not many people left. As for Haiyi, although he is not as brilliant as you were back then. , but Konoha's current good momentum is really thanks to him. There are many things that I can't tell you in detail, but it is really not easy to bring a riddled Konoha to where it is today. Especially when there are I'm such an irritable Hokage who always wants to solve all problems as soon as possible. If Haiyi and everyone hadn't been as conscientious as ever, you might have been homeless long ago."

"It's no big deal for a shinobi to be homeless, Minato Namikaze."

"I know you have feelings for Konoha, Sister Tsunade, I can't say it without conscience, everything is a misunderstanding. But"

"What you said is quite interesting." Tsunade interrupted Minato, "Say a few more words like this."

"Anyway, it's time to come back and take a look. Teacher Jiraiya has just left, and he also feels that Konoha has changed a lot. It's really big, different." Minato emphasized, "Tsunade-sister"

"Hmph, you've made great progress in your mouth dodge." Tsunade said noncommittally, "But you're still not sincere enough."

"You can mention whatever you want." The Hokage was very generous.

"Anyway, let's start with a dog barking."

"Wang Wang Wang."

"Okay, just pretend to be dead again."

"Ah, pay for me, eh."

"Hahaha, let me hear a few more wishes and dissatisfactions for my sister."

""

"come."

"Hmm."

"You won't draw long sounds this time."

"ummmmm"

"Hokage really trains people." Tsunade was silent for a moment, "Get the money ready. I know that the most important thing you need now is money."

"That's your order. I know you are the best, Sister Tsunade. So on what date will you come back? I will go to the Lord of the Kingdom to get you some good wine to catch the wind."

"Leave it to that old bastard Jiraiya."

"Eventually"

"Haha, Namikaze Minato, don't pretend to be stupid. What did you bet with me last time when you asked me to go back to Konoha to perform surgery on the Yamanaka family?"

""

"You said that was the last time. If you cause me any more trouble, you will die a good death. You heard me clearly, all the Hokages of Konoha will die a good death. The first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth generations will be waiting for me when I return to Konoha. Why don't you be so damn good?"

When Minato Namikaze heard that the line was hanging up, he let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at the dumbfounded man next to him with some embarrassment, "Haha, Shikaku, Tsunade-senpai is actually very easy to coax, haha."

That kind of thing about face, hey.

Konoha June 61, summer is coming again
