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

It’s still that night with the big moon.

Shiranui Genma handed over the Hokage to Uchiha Shisui who was on duty and walked out of the Hokage Tower.It was already late at night, but it could still be considered the first half of the night in Konoha.There were not many pedestrians on Konoha Road in the middle of the night. It was a bit quiet and scary for ordinary people, but for ninjas it was quite lively.After working all day long, the male and female ninjas could finally meet each other quietly in the nooks and crannies like wild cats.

Xuanjian sighed and tried his best to ignore the pair of ears and temples rubbing together in the corner over there, while the two on the roof here were kissing each other.Even if the fire was burning in his heart, he would never climb into the dog hole, leave Konoha, and go to the flower street.

"Calm down. You can go to Flower Street and other places at any time, so why do you have to be busy non-stop? Now you have worked all day, and you have to work with the wheels tomorrow. So if you don't go home at night, are you worthy of everyone? Is it easy to give you some rest time?" Xuanjian muttered to himself and pinched his thigh hard to stop the wild thoughts in his head.But the body is always more honest than the mind. This strong young man in his twenties, healthy and energetic, is really not sleepy anymore.

Maybe he could go back to work. Xuanjian stopped, felt his physical condition carefully, and made a rational judgment.Processing files does not consume much physical energy of a ninja, and the energy consumed cannot only be restored by a good sleep.For example, just now, he just thought about the things that the people would like to see and suddenly concealed the truth.

In short, Shiranui Genma immediately returned to the Hokage's office.

The Hokage's office was dark and miserable, but there was a small white light leaking from the lounge.

"Why are you back?" The red-eyed secret guard in front of the small coffee table gave the guy who had left and returned a look, then lowered his head and continued writing furiously under the light of the desk lamp.

"I just walked a few steps and I'm not sleepy anymore." Genma opened his mouth, walked forward, and looked at the sleeping Hokage on the bed.Naruto frowned and rolled up the thin blanket, Genma blinked, "Turn up the air conditioner temperature."

The red-eyed secret guard nodded and pressed the remote control.

Xuanjian opened the door a crack, allowing the relatively fresh air from outside to enter this small windowless area.

"Help me see what Kakashi wrote." The red-eyed secret guard waved to Genma.

Xuanjian gently moved a small mat and sat on the other side of the coffee table. He leaned over to take a look and shook his head.

The secret guard sighed and continued to lower his head.

Xuanjian also picked up a report, pulled out a piece of draft paper and began to calculate.

The tip of the pen rustles.

"Help me see what word Kakashi wrote for dog paw." The red-eyed secret guard resisted the urge to drop the pencil this time and handed a piece of paper to Genma to point to.

Genma looked around, and finally looked to the opposite side, and shook his head. It seemed that Anbu was really going to be unable to do anything except Kakashi from now on. "Let's ask him tomorrow."

"Okay." The red-eyed secret guard gritted his teeth, his expression a little cracked.He suddenly realized that when the Hokage assigned him to temporarily replace Kakashi for a few days yesterday, he had agreed too early.Yes, Anbu's work is indeed like drinking water and eating for him, but the premise is that it's not half of those ghost things that bastard Kakashi did.

Looking at the miserable look on the face of the person opposite, Xuanjian couldn't help but wave his hands and cover his mouth to prevent himself from laughing.To be honest, although he and Uchiha Shisui are not familiar with each other, they have known each other for a long time.From school to the battlefield, from a living person to a nameless dead person, I have never seen this senior who is only one or two years older than him. I thought that the Uchiha family would have no other expression except calmness. It’s over.Ah, when he thought about it, he was really looking forward to seeing Shunshen Shisui and the Konoha technicians fighting each other. That was considered a good overtime benefit.

"Laugh if you want." Shisui frowned, "I can tell you have some bad ideas hidden in your heart just by looking at your expression. Can't you be more generous?"

"I didn't mean to offend anyone."

"It's not other people. Konoha ninjas are a whole. We are all people who will give our backs on the battlefield. You can't guarantee that you will never have friction with everyone, and I can't guarantee that I won't be indignant at anything you say or do. But as long as there is no malice in your heart and you can sincerely express your apology later, I think everyone can still forgive."

"Er" Xuanjian was stunned by Zhishui.He suddenly felt that he always worked the night shift and watched the Hokage sleep. This long period of time when no one talked to him might have had a major impact on Shisui's way of thinking.However, maybe this person just wants to be funny, or maybe he is impatient with reading the document and wants to find trouble to chat with.

"You are really not frank." Shisui sighed softly and closed all the documents that passed through Kakashi's hands. He decided to jump over to deal with the new problem, "Well, it was the Fourth Generation who asked me to take the time to remind you a little bit. a little."

Genma glanced at the still sleeping Hokage and frowned again.

Shisui tapped on the document gently, "Do you know why you are always not recognized by those little monsters holding votes? The Hokage's original words are that you always think too much. But I actually have nothing to do with you. I know you very well, so I will tell you the truth. I think it is more appropriate to describe you as having too many intestines. You are indeed very smart and capable. But no one can satisfy everyone. A team of 3 people will still have If you have different opinions, it is even more impossible to manage a village. Think about it carefully, what is the reason for Golden Flash that makes you and I willing to die for him, and why can’t Danzo Tomura, who also cares about Konoha, not Danzo? Sir, it’s not like you haven’t cooperated before, can you really say that he doesn’t have the ability to bring a better future to Konoha against his will?”

Genjian was silent, picked up the report and continued to calculate.The same goes for Shisui.

I don't know how long it took, but the Hokage who was supposed to be sleeping suddenly stood up and flew away.

Shisui put down his pen and followed immediately, not forgetting to take the tactical vest and Hokage cloak handed over by Genma.

Konoha gate, outside

1:01 AM

"You think I'm willing to enter this door? Damn you."

The wind blew through the tops of large trees, making a whistling sound. In this sound that represented silence, a woman's angry roar finally triggered the emergency assembly order of Konoha's security system.Within a few seconds, the small animal masks that appeared in twos and threes automatically formed a circle of three. At the same time, white weapons of various colors were also lying in front of them.

The war is about to start.

But how could our peace-loving Yondaime Hokage allow such illegal armed fighting to happen casually at the gate of Konoha? Especially, the most taboo fight in Konoha.

"Sister Tsunade, I thought you would sleep in a nearby town for one night before returning to Konoha. Why are you making trouble here in the middle of the night?" The disheveled Yondaime Hokage held the woman's fist tightly against the door of Konoha with one hand. , trying to straighten the wrinkled collar of his sleeping clothes with one hand.

"You are so self-righteous forever." Tsunade continued to press hard.

"Then you have to let me figure out what's going on first." The Hokage continued to tighten, and at the same time got the message from the eyes of the people around him, "I was stopped, sorry, sorry, Konoha does have a stricter access control system now, and these Children may not know you very well. You have to know that at their age, they will not remember much when you left Konoha. Of course, as Princess Tsunade of Konoha, you can come back whenever you want. About This is because I failed to predict your whims of coming and going in the middle of the night. Thinking about it this way, you are right to be angry. But if we want to stretch our muscles, can we go a little further away and don't worry about a few children here. "

Tsunade snorted, broke free, glared, and punched again.

The Hokage could only try his best to intercept, "Don't be angry, it's just a small misunderstanding. In fact, you are not really angry at all. Otherwise, how could I have blocked you so easily? And the little devils over there, if you really face It’s impossible for them to punch each other with all their beards and tails.”

"Injuring them is not a waste of my chakra."

"Yes, Sister Tsunade has excellent medical skills and loves the juniors the most, but it will be troublesome to repair the door if it is broken."

"That's your trouble, not my trouble. You don't need money to repair the door now."

"But it would be embarrassing."

"Don't embarrass me."

"It doesn't matter if it makes Konoha lose face."

"Just throw it away, there are enough jokes in Konoha anyway."

"Are you talking about yourself?"

"I'm obviously talking about you."

"Okay, okay, it's me, it's me." Our sleepy Hokage finally smelled the alcohol on Tsunade's body. He felt that he was indeed a joke, and he actually talked sense to a female drunk.

"Forget it, you'd better fight and see." Naruto endured the headache and retracted his hand, then took the vest and cloak handed to him by the red-eyed secret guard and put them on.In the moonlight, the five big red characters on the cloak read "Fourth Generation Hokage".

"Then I'm not welcome." The drunk woman clapped her fingers.

"Please." The Hokage opened the door, and then said leisurely into the darkness, "Trespassing into Konoha and trying to attack Konoha's defense system is a matter of life and death. Your master is just drunk and crazy, so you should follow She drank Kato Shizune Jounin together.”

The wind is blowing.

As expected, Tsunade stopped moving at this time. It wasn't the female drunkard who gave in, but Kato Shizune, who was sweating coldly, finally realized what stupid thing her family was doing. She gave the female Blast Dragon a Valium needle, "Jounin Kato Shizune said to the four The Hokage-sama reported that my Lady Tsunade has not been back for a long time, and she was timid in going to the countryside, so she drank a few more drinks. Please understand that she definitely did not mean it."

But Tsunade didn't appreciate it, and the needle had no obvious effect on her, "I didn't drink, I did it on purpose, Minato Namikaze, if you want to do whatever you want to do to me, I won't care whether I live or die. If you have the ability, we won't care about my life or death."

"Ah, Namikaze-sama, Tsunade-sama is joking. Yes, she just likes to joke when she is drunk." Shizune immediately took another injection. She suddenly felt a little scared. She looked at Konoha, which was already exuding invisible murderous aura. The ANBU looked at Naruto, who was neither sad nor happy, and reiterated, "This is Princess Tsunade of the Senju family, the granddaughter of the first and second generation adults. There is no need for her to be drunk and joking."

"Okay, then I'm joking this time." The Hokage finally smiled, turned around, and glanced from left to right, "You guys, see clearly, the young girl who just talked to me is Kakashi. One of the rumored girlfriends in the past, Kato Shizune Jounin, has superb medical skills and a strong sense of responsibility, and is single. If you are interested in taking Kakashi's corner, you can give it a try."

Thus, the Hokage's cold joke once again produced the desired effect. After a few seconds of silence, silence returned to Konoha's gate.

"I'm very, very sorry." Shizune felt even more frightened, "Also, Yondaime-sama, long time no see."

"Well, long time no see." The Hokage blinked and soothed the frightened woman with his voice, "But where do you plan to sleep today? I suggest Konoha Hospital. After all, you will have more acquaintances there. Of course, going back to Senju's house is also a good idea. It’s just that they are probably as unprepared as I am. Why don’t you go back to Hatake’s old house with me first? Kakashi’s house actually has quite a few rooms.”

"No, no need to trouble, my lord."

"Don't be so outspoken. Now that you're back, by the way, Shizune's dormitory is still the same as when you left. Kakashi will ask someone to clean it for you regularly. If you want to eat," the Hokage pointed to the distant place. The tall building with white light, "That's the new Hokage building, it's still under construction. There is a canteen next to it, open 24 hours a day. Although there are temporary meal cards for guests, I think you should go to the General Staff Headquarters tomorrow to get one." My own is better, it contains monthly food subsidy. There are also salary cards and medical guarantee cards. In addition to task fees, some basic wages and subsidies are now included in these two cards. You haven’t used them yet, so do the math. After all, it’s quite a bit of income. There’s also the latest version of Konoha’s safety regulations, which you need to memorize. I know Tsunade won’t read them carefully, so I can only rely on you. Okay, I’m done. , you guys should quickly find a place to rest. I have to go back to sleep too, it’s so late at night.”

"Yes, sir." Shizune listened to the Hokage's nagging and complaining, and suddenly realized that she was really not that scared anymore. Instead, she found a familiar feeling of being a Konoha ninja that she had not seen for a long time.This feels so good, "Then I will take Lady Tsunade back to my dormitory first."

"Well, go back. If you need anything, just grab an ANBU on the street and ask."

"Yes, my lord."

"Phew." The Hokage watched Shizune and Tsunade leave and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He waved to his guard captain, "You go back to the office to do your work first. It seems I'm not done yet."

"Yes, sir." Shisui glanced at the third-generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had already shown half of his body, and signaled the other members of the Hokage Guard to move further away and continue to stand by, and then the Flying Thunder God flashed past.

"Minato, it's Tsunade who's back." The old Hokage walked out with his hands behind his back, "That kid is drunk."

"It's very ugly when she's drunk." The young Hokage rubbed his eyes, but his eyes felt even drier. "But the good news is, apart from Jiraiya-sensei, no other man will fall in love with her."

"This is good news." The old Hokage suddenly realized that his junior was actually willing to joke with him today.

"Of course, it proves that she is still loved."

"Ugh." The old Hokage felt choked by this junior's words again.

"But, Thirdai-sama, what do you want?" The young Hokage seemed to be choked even more, "I thought you would always have something serious to say to me."

"Ha." The old Hokage felt a little angry, "Don't you have something you want to report to me?"

"Everything is obvious." The young Hokage immediately wanted to leave, "You have to blow the cold wind at the gate of Konoha by yourself."

"Why are you kid becoming more and more impatient?" The old Hokage frowned. He felt that he could hardly connect the blond young man in front of him with the previous one, just like his disciple, Senju Tsunade. .

"Then you should say so." The troubled young Hokage's eyelids struggled hard.

The old Hokage paused and said, "Tsunade, has she been doing well these years?"

"If you ask me, who should I ask? If you really want to know, just ask her directly tomorrow, or ask Shizune. If that doesn't work, ask Shikaku for historical information and analyze it yourself." The young Hokage also became a little angry.

"Tsunade is back to perform surgery on Haiyi." The old Hokage calmed down.

"Nonsense." The young Hokage felt that he was getting more and more irritated because he wanted to sleep. "Otherwise, no one would think of her."

"Please help me keep her," the old Hokage automatically filtered out the elements that he didn't like to hear in the current words. His voice was serious, "Keep her, Konoha does need her now."

The current Hokage then became more serious, "Personally, I admire Shizune Jōnin more, and I will definitely keep her this time. But Tsunade said that Tsunade-hime is a medical master, and I admit it. But look at what she has done over the years. She was almost a prostitute after getting drunk and gambling for money. No, she was a prostitute. She hugged the girl for several days and did nothing. Don't tell me that you don't know what a girl in that kind of place is made of. A breadwinner has to eat. By the way, the scariest thing is that she often runs away due to debts. It doesn't matter if she runs away, why do you think her creditors can't come to her home, Konoha? Debt collectors like to eat and drink. It doesn't matter, as an elder who has made meritorious contributions to Konoha, I am grateful to give her more pension to make her life more pleasant. But she still lost the bet and ran away. Do you know how big her bet was in the Senju family? If she no longer cares about her, it is even less likely that Konoha will have the spare money to pay off her gambling debts, even now there is no money."

"She can cure diseases, save people, and do tasks."

"Then you go check the information. She has saved only a handful of people over the years, and Shizune is still the surgeon, including Haiichi's surgery 8 years ago." The current Hokage smiled, "Besides, whether it's medical skills or medical ninja, , the young people in Konoha will all grow up, and in the days without her, Konoha Hospital has provided them with enough cases that can make them mature quickly."

"About this." The old Hokage also had to admit that if there had been a Tsunade in Konoha Hospital all these years, perhaps Konoha wouldn't be so helpless. "I'm really sorry."

"You don't have to apologize for her. This is not the responsibility that the teacher should bear. It is she who has lost her forehead protection and dignity. There is no other excuse." The young Hokage suddenly felt more tired, "That's it, I really Must go back to sleep.”

"Yeah." The old Hokage had never felt powerless before, even more powerless than the moment he saw Orochimaru die in front of him.

It's a bit sad when powerlessness is not an excuse

木叶61年6月16日，凌晨1点30分，风大

This was the first time Minato Namikaze made a mistake after completing the development of the Flying Thunder Technique. He clearly wanted to go to the Hokage Tower's lounge, but he fell directly on Naruto's sheets.Fortunately, our Naruto is very skilled and rolled over to make room for his father. "Dad, you scared me to death. Are you practicing a sneak attack?"

But our Hokage didn't answer. He looked at someone else's son, rubbed his hands against the sheets, and found a good position to sleep.

Naruto had no choice but to take off his father's shoes, cover him with a quilt, and prepared to find another place to sleep. However, he showed that he could sleep next to his father, so he got in.
