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

The sun shone through the clean glass window on the bedside table, making the new white porcelain vase that had just been put down even more ugly.Yamanaka Kai sighed, looked at the vase, then looked at Nara Shikaku who came to visit him, and sighed again.He didn't understand that he and Nara Shikaku were born together, grew up together, trained together, fought back to back, and even married wives and had children together.Why are the aesthetics so different?

"Oh!" Nara Shikaku knew when he saw Haiichi's eyes that he had probably bought another item that did not suit the artistic middle-aged mind. "Giving you a bottle as a gift is just a symbol of peace and security. Please don't be pretentious." OK?"

Of course Haiyi knew that a friend's good intentions should not be judged rashly, "But look at the shape for yourself, it's a lump, a lump."

"Isn't it just a piece of shit?" Lu Jiu said the word that was difficult to say for Haiyi, "I said it has a meaning, and that thing symbolizes luck. You must have been so unlucky recently because of your luck, come on. Press it down. And I didn’t choose the brown one, so I’m taking care of your feelings.”

But.Haiyi quickly reached out his hand, but still couldn't stop this guy who was so stubborn that he couldn't change except for his wife, and he wasn't embarrassed if he put on the wrong underwear.Shikaku's big furry hand easily reached into the beautiful little flower basket, broke a bright red rose, and then inserted the flower into the small hole of the poop bottle.

"Look, the classic color scheme you gave me with red flowers, white porcelain and green walls is quite interesting."

"Oh, no." Haiichi covered his head in annoyance. He really didn't know how to explain when Ino came back, why the flower basket she had been putting out all morning was dead in less than a few hours.Her daughter Ino is really good at everything, she is beautiful, sensible and generous, self-respecting, confident and self-reliant, but her personality is a bit impulsive.

"You should be more honest when you are sick." Lu Jiu once again proved that intelligence often cannot be brought into life. He still did not find out his mistake from his friend's sigh. Instead, he saw Haiyi suddenly cover his head, a little... Worried, "Didn't you say you don't have a headache? How are you now? Do you want me to call a doctor for you?"

"I've said it hundreds of times, my head really doesn't hurt." Haiyi quickly put down his hand, "I think there's nothing wrong with me."

"It's okay. You're in the hospital. I've seen your brain CT scan. Also, the hospital asked you to rest, so you should be more restrained. Don't get too excited. If your head blows up, you'll have to trouble me when you collect the body. I'll sew it for you, but will you let me eat?"

"It won't explode suddenly." Haiyi gritted his teeth. He felt that Shikaku's brain cells were really worried recently, "The pharmacist jounin said, it's not a big problem, it's just overuse of the brain. It can go away after taking medicine." It’s slow, but the results can be seen in as soon as three months. The most important thing is that it can preserve my useful body and IQ to the maximum extent.”

"Medical ninjas are different from ninjas. You can't believe what a 20-year-old kid says."

"Anyway, the number of people dying in Konoha Hospital due to recurrence of old injuries has indeed decreased by 60 in the past few years."

"Statistics can be deceiving. That number is obviously because those who were serious enough to die would die before they grew up." However, Shikaku didn't want to continue this topic. He quickly peeled an apple. "Come, I'll serve you some fruit. Ino specifically asked me when she went out."

Haiyi was gagged by Shikaku's words and the apple, so he could only gnaw on it first.

"So I think, although surgery has risks, conservative treatment may not be safe, right? Nothing is absolute. Think about it, you have a routine physical examination once a month, but nothing was found last month, why would you check it this month? It only lasts 30 days after one month. Even if it is because the size was too small before and the accuracy of the machine caused errors, this is enough to prove that the things in your mind still grow very fast. Then three months only 90 days, who knows three What will it look like in a month? It’s better to drag it here and there than to cut it off as soon as possible.”

"I want to finish it as soon as possible. It's so boring in the hospital. And I'm worried about whether you, my general staff, are doing a good job. Ordinary people can't do the job of Konoha's humanoid calculator." Haiyi gnawed on an apple. , "But Kabuto said that the location is inconvenient. It would be better if he died on the spot. If he wakes up and finds that there is something that cannot be moved, Ino will be dragged down."

"So, it's rare that I take the time to come here today to inform you. I couldn't be sure whether she would come a few days ago, but just this morning, Tsunade-hime has already entered the border of the Land of Fire. With the efficiency of her actions, it is estimated that We can return to Konoha in three to five days."

"That troublesome crazy woman." Haiyi pinched the apple core and frowned, "But it's good to have her back, haha. Fortunately, Tsunade has a good relationship with our Hokage-sama."

"Yeah." Shikaku really wanted to tell Haiichi that Princess Tsunade, who had run away from home, and Namikaze Minato were indeed as closely connected as expected.But he was also able to confirm another rumor.Senju Tsunade did leave home based on her own heart, rather than being sent out by the flow of the tide like Jiraiya.Moreover, the reason for running away from home was indeed because he had trouble with Konoha.

"Thank you Minato for me. Considering that scary woman's character, it's really embarrassing for him." Haiyi sighed, "Hey, if Tsunade's judgment is the same as last time, it will be fine if she cuts it off. I guess My physical condition is that I can only rest for half a month. Although I have been doing miscellaneous things every day since the establishment of this position, if this position suddenly disappears now, Minato will not feel good. I still remember, our fourth generation When I first took office, I was tortured to the point of tears by a report called "What to do if a ninja dog always urinates everywhere in the training ground". Hahaha, that guy Minato is born to do big things, he can't bear to deal with this every day. It’s so trivial.”

"Yes." Shikaku also smiled easily, but doubts arose in his heart. Is Tsunade-hime who can so unscrupulously cursed all generations of Hokages really worthy of Konoha's trust? The more she knows, the more trouble she will have. .The Minister of Intelligence regretted it. If only he had not suspected Minato that day, how could he suspect that Minato would ignore Haiichi because he was unwilling to contact Tsunade? Now, not only did he offend the Fourth Hokage, Haiichi also Still not reassuring.

"What's wrong with you?" Hai waved the core.

Shikaku handed over the trash can tacitly, "I just suddenly thought that Minato always trusts us so much, but we always let him down time and time again."

"Why do you think so suddenly?"

"It's nothing. It's just that there are fewer people to work and more worries."

"But I think I'm more upset." Ino held the lunch box and opened the door, and saw the bunch of flowers and cow dung.

"Ino, you're back so quickly." Haiichi's father winked at Shikaku, but Shikaku, who couldn't fly Thunder God, seemed unable to escape.

"Ino, I did my best to feed your father apples." Shikaku raised his hands, "Look, the apple core."

"Thank you, uncle." Ino pushed aside the trash can in front of her and pointed at the flower basket and vase, "But I would like you to help me explain that and this."

"Oh." Shikaku finally understood Haiichi's strange sigh just now, "Uncle, my hands are quick, my hands are quick, my hands are faster than my brain due to an old injury recently. Don't be angry, Ino, it's my uncle's fault, I thought the flower basket was from the hospital. It’s standard equipment, I obviously had something similar when I was hospitalized last time.”

"Because that was a gift from me." Ino's eyes were unkind.

"I'm just saying how could a staid Konoha doctor insert such a beautiful flower? That green-bearded fairy's high-end pastry volume 8943 year." Shikaku felt that his wit had been used. To the extreme.

"I knew Uncle Shikaku was the best to me." The sweet tooth instantly had an effect on the girl.

Therefore, Lu Jiu could only touch a few small steel plates in his trouser pockets. He felt that he had to think of a good reason to get some money out of his wife's hands this time, otherwise he would most likely spend the next year with him. The tavern is insulated, and even for late-night snacks during overtime, the only option is cafeteria bread.

Thanks to the Yondaime-sama, at least there is a cafeteria.

Hokage Building, Hokage Office

"Uh-huh."

"Are you comfortable, sir?"

"Much better." The Hokage moved his neck and made a clicking sound, "Thank you, Genma. Although I still feel that you should become more dignified, when it comes to massage, your skills are still the best."

"I have been pressing it for you for a long time, and I know where you usually feel pain." Xuanjian was still modest, "But Sir, I suspect that since I went to the General Staff, you have no good habits anymore, Itachi, please remember, at most one Hours, let the adults get up and move around.”

"Yes, senior." Itachi replied reluctantly, and then continued his actions.Staple and stuff the documents into the cabinet.Thank goodness for that old, hard-to-use outfit in the break room.

Booking a table was finally abandoned.Itachi looked at the light binding device in his hand and couldn't understand why he didn't replace it earlier since he already had such a more convenient and simpler thing.

"Okay, that's it." The Hokage here rejected Genma's suggestion to help massage his wrist. He looked at Itachi who was still moving slowly, "Itachi, speed up, don't forget to go to the cafeteria together today. Your senior Genjian stood on stage for a moment, it’s meaningless after dinner time. Xuanjian, help him.”

Then Naruto continued to stretch his muscles and walked into the lounge. He wanted to wake up Kakashi, the night shift animal who had been sleeping all morning.

"Wake up." Minato pushed the black flatfish on the bed.

"Ah."

"time to eat."

"Ah."

"It's really a bit forced." Minato scratched his head.Haiyi was suddenly hospitalized, so he and Shikaku had to take over Haiyi's work first.So if the Hokage's office is divided by him, as long as Genma's authority is sufficient, he can lead people to do things neatly.The intelligence work that was separated by Shikaku had to be done by Kakashi, who was also in charge of the ANBU intelligence system.But Kakashi.Minato was still angry with Kakashi and still upset when he saw him, but he couldn't help but rub Kakashi's head.The stiff silver hair is a little greasy, probably because I haven't washed my hair after being busy for several days.Yes, even he has been too busy these days and hasn't been back much, let alone Kakashi.I just don’t know if Naruto is living well by himself these days, if he eats on time, if he kicks the quilt when he goes to bed, and if he still enjoys getting along with his friends.

But it should be soon.Minato smiled, now it's just because the re-division of responsibilities has just begun and everyone is not yet proficient. In a day or two, they will be able to go to and from get off work on time. I hope Kakashi can get used to it faster.

"Wake up." Minato finally let go of Kakashi's hair. He rubbed the oil on his hands with Kakashi's mask, then picked up Kakashi's collar and pulled him to sit up.

"Teacher" Kakashi's eyes finally leaked out of his eyes.

"Wake up, stand up for Xuanjian today, and go to the cafeteria. His personal prestige is really annoying. You should try your best to find opportunities to give him some blessings in the future, and don't always yell at him. Imagine, Wan Yihaiyi really has an emergency, and we can push all the troubles to Xuanjian, how wonderful. So you'd better show me a little love for Xuanjian today. "

"Hoohoo."

Minato could only continue to sigh, "Kakashi, say silently to me, I'm not sleepy, I'm not sleepy, I'm really not sleepy."

"I really can't open my eyes." Kakashi finally muttered with his head hanging down, but he didn't seem to wake up.

"You really can't bear to be a little tired." Minato touched Kakashi's head. Well, he didn't have a fever.Then he took off Kakashi's blindfold and looked at his blood-red eyes carefully. The pupils in his eyes trembled slightly, indicating that the child was really dreaming.Fortunately, there were no signs of relapse.But Minato felt a little distressed after all.Although I always hope that Kakashi will achieve something, sometimes I worry that he doesn't live up to his expectations, but it doesn't mean that such a good young man needs to endure such hardship. It belongs to the future and should be left to the future.However, "Kakashi, you have to eat."

"call."

"I'm really tired." Minato gently put Kakashi down, helped him untie his forehead protector, took off his shoes, covered him with the quilt, and then walked out of the lounge.As for Genma, anyway, the most important thing is to let everyone see that the relationship between Hokage and his former avant-garde captain is still good. As for Anbu Minister Kakashi, they have been close friends since childhood. They have been talking to each other because they are familiar with each other.

"What's wrong, sir?" The two people outside have finished their morning work.

"Kakashi, forget it for today." The Hokage waved his hand, "I'm too sleepy to get up. He hasn't slept for how many days. Genma, do you think I've put too much pressure on him recently?"

"I can't say, sir." Genjian has already picked up his signature thousand books and is ready to go.

"Forget it." The Hokage sighed again, "Itachi, let me show you the Konoha cafeteria today. I heard that you don't eat in the cafeteria very often. It's a pity. I will go more in the future. That place is for Konoha teenagers. Important social platform.”

"Yes." Itachi suddenly felt a little nervous for no reason. Although he and his brother had actually been there many times, it was really the first time for him to go with the Hokage.

But soon, he knew what he was nervous about.

Konoha cafeteria

Lunch time

Single ninjas in Konoha gather here like a tide almost three times a day.

"Good afternoon, Yondaime-sama."

When Namikaze Minato walked into the cafeteria door with Shiranui Genma and Uchiha Itachi, all the ninjas in the cafeteria stood at attention, neatly and uniformly, as if they had rehearsed.

Our Hokage waved his hand easily and greeted the ninjas, "Good afternoon."

"Yes, sir." The voice was still uniform until they looked at Li and saw the Hokage leading the two lucky guys into the feeding area for senior cadres.

"Huh." Minato listened to the momentary silence in the large dining room outside turn into a moment of noise, and blinked at Itachi, "How are you, how do you feel?"

"The echo is so loud." Itachi told the truth. He was still hearing the deafening echo from the hall. Moreover, this guy who always went to the cafeteria with his brother because there were not many people, really didn't expect that the real Konoha cafeteria actually had so many meals. people

"ferret"

"Ah, I'm sorry, sir." Itachi, who had not yet recovered from the sonic attack, stood up quickly.

"Okay, sit down. Now, it's real time to eat." The Hokage pulled out the chair, sat down, yawned slightly, and closed his eyes.

Genjian looked at Itachi who was sitting a little dazed, sighed, and decided to go to the kitchen to order.

There is no difference at all between the high-end restaurant in Konoha Shokudo and the menu outside.But fortunately, I can also make some home-cooked dishes. Of course, I still can’t ask for better taste.Genjian looked at the Hokage who was already leaning on the back of the chair. He didn't know if he was closing his eyes to rest or seizing the time to take a nap.His Hokage had never had a bite of food from the Konoha cafeteria since the last time he was sent to the hospital for terrible stomach bleeding.Sometimes he cooks it himself, sometimes Naruto cooks it, and most of the time it is the customized nutritious meal sent by Konoha Hospital. Of course, it is also produced by Konoha cafeteria. Regardless of the unique cafeteria taste, it is still very delicious. Perfect for that battered stomach.But the trouble is, the ordering counter for nutritious meals is in the inpatient department of the hospital.

"I'm talking about Xiaogenma, what do you want to eat today, Hokage-sama?" The 2-meter-tall cafeteria master stepped on his prosthetic feet, "Speaking of which, it's been a long time since Hokage-sama came to the cafeteria to eat in person. ”

"I've been very busy, even today." Genma smiled politely and slightly affectionately. He didn't want to and couldn't leave a bad impression on this meritorious old ninja who was the same generation of the three ninjas. "Can you please help us three, Master?" Let’s cook some noodles, with more vegetables, don’t add chili pepper, and try to keep it as light as possible.”

"No problem. Soon. I guess the fourth generation still loves noodles as always." The master grinned and walked into the closet.

So, a few minutes later, Genma brought back the three basins with a stiff expression amidst the kindness of the old ninja.Yes, three basins of finger-width noodles are entangled in a small stainless steel basin, with carrots, cucumbers and shredded kelp carefully placed on them. On top of the pile of vegetables is poured a fragrant and fragrant large-grain beef sauce, and is placed next to it. Half a salted duck egg with oil left on it doesn't taste so good in the canteen.Xuanjian felt that even someone like him, who had never had any requirements for taste, had a big appetite, but the quantity was really too big.

"Jajiang noodles." The Hokage's voice was full of surprise.

"I'm sorry, sir, I forgot to ask for the portion size." Genma glanced at the "Shameful waste" written by the Hokage on the wall, and looked at the Hokage who was already eating with a little worry.

"Ha, it's useless for you to ask. Those old guys over there are always like this, worrying that everyone won't have enough to eat." The Hokage was very satisfied with the lunch.

"Then, sir, please chew carefully and slowly." Genma finally gave Itachi half of the noodles in the Hokage's bowl under Naruto's somewhat unhappy gaze, "Itachi, it's okay for children to eat more."

Problem, problem, what a problem

In June of Konoha 61, Uchiha Itachi accompanied the Hokage to the cafeteria for the first time, and he was as full as ever.
