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

On the third day after Senju Tsunade left, Kato Shizune realized that her teacher did not go to stay at the teacher's teacher's house, but really left without saying goodbye.On that rainy day when the "alarm went off by mistake", I didn't take any luggage with me. I just wore old clogs with new strings, stuffed a wine bottle in my arms, and then picked up a random umbrella by the door, and I was so cool. Out the door.

So Shizune started from the dormitory every day more normally, went to Konoha Hospital to work overtime, went to the cafeteria to have lunch, dinner and supper. On her days off, she went to the logistics service club to have her changed uniforms washed. Occasionally, when she was not busy, she would work with Xin. I would go shopping with colleagues I met, eat snacks, or practice ninjutsu, and occasionally go out for a field trip not far away.

Konoha's single back-office ninja is so bored at three o'clock and one line.

Yes, it is boring.

Shizune knew she shouldn't think this way, especially since she had clearly seen what hunger and turmoil were, and what war and death were, since she was a child.But the outside of Konoha is also very attractive. Go to any city you want to go, stay wherever you want to stay, meet the people you want to meet, treat treatable diseases, save people who are worth saving, and... You can fight with someone you don't like at any time. If you can't fight, you can fight. If you can't fight, you can still run away.Anyway, there will be no mission failure if you run away, and no companions will die if you can't run away.

This is the life that her teacher, Tsunade Senju, longs for.It is also a life that Shizune in her teens fears and hates, that Shizune in her twenties has habits and cherishes, and that Shizune in her thirties may recall and cherish.There is no task, no responsibility, no obligation to be selfish.

Yes, selfish.

It's a pity that Jonin Kato Shizune has never been a selfish person. Like all the young and innocent ninjas in Konoha, she is quiet.

Hokage Building Hokage Office

The air conditioner is turned on very much

"Itachi, hand over the documents over there."

The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, was busy writing. He didn't raise his head or point his finger, so Itachi looked at the documents everywhere in the office and really didn't know where the Hokage wanted to go.

"012110" The Hokage was about to sign the pile of documents in front of him. He needed new work materials.

"Which side do you want?" Itachi asked anyway.

"Anywhere." Naruto finally stopped writing and looked up. He was a little dissatisfied with Itachi's distraction, "I've told you 800 times, as long as it's something I haven't read or signed yet, I'll hand it over at the right time. I haven't been doing a good job recently. Why did something happen again today?"

"But." Itachi felt that the Hokage's accusing gaze made him uncomfortable, "No more."

"Ha" Naruto stared slightly, a little incredulous.

Itachi could only sort out the work log while counting, and finally said in the same incredible way, "Yes, sir, today's work is all over."

The Hokage blinked, looked at the wall clock on the wall, then opened the drawer and looked at the calculator and timer. Yes, the three dials were showing him, the current time is 4:05 minutes and 5 seconds in the afternoon, " Itachi, let's see if there are any left."

"Yes, sir." Itachi counted again and reported, "There is nothing in the office that you need to deal with today, if nothing else is sent here."

"Of course there won't be any more sent over." The Hokage cracked his mouth, suddenly stood up and extended his palm to Itachi.

"Pa." Itachi's hand reflexively slapped Naruto's hand, which made the young ninja suddenly feel a little dazed, as if he had returned to the past, when he was still the most popular mission captain in the ANBU field service. Every time we finish our work, we give high fives to celebrate.

However, the Hokage didn't care about his subordinate's psychological activities. He drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, "Itachi, hurry up and notify someone to pick up the documents, then get off work and go home."

"Yes, sir." Itachi suddenly became excited when he heard the words "get off work and go home". He hurriedly went out and waved to the ANBU on duty to give instructions.Oh my god, the Hokage's office didn't work overtime and got off work early when Hokage was at home. Isn't it a flashback before the end of the world? 555, he can finally pick up the lovely Sasuke from get off work today, no, it's off duty.

However, the Hokage still would not let Itachi go so kindly. He patted his subordinate on the shoulder and smiled, "Then Itachi, please wait here for a while. As for me, I will get off work first."

"No" Itachi subconsciously grabbed Naruto.

"What's wrong?" Naruto said with a sudden thought, "Don't tell me that you suddenly remembered that there was a folder hidden somewhere."

"No." Itachi felt his face was burning.He didn't want to stay, and he also wanted to get off work early, but as a subordinate, he seemed to have no reason for his boss to stay in person, so the words he blurted out became, "Sir, please eat the walnuts on the table."

"No." Naruto frowned and shook his head.

"But Kakashi-sama said that the Yakushi Jōnin said that you must eat 5 walnuts every afternoon, and it is my task to watch you finish them."

"But it's your obligation to listen to me." Naruto found that he was in a bad mood again, "Itachi, do you think your boss, me, looks like a child?"

"No." Itachi denied that he had doubts in his heart.

"Then your Kakashi-senpai is a childish brat with no brains and no judgment."

"No." Itachi denied, feeling very doubtful.

"Then you are a stupid ninja who dare not disobey your superior's unreasonable orders."

"Of course not." Itachi agreed.

"Then if Kakashi uses those damn walnuts to embarrass you." The Hokage grabbed the plate with the walnuts and stuffed it into Itachi's hands, "You can tell him directly that the Hokage did not waste the food, and all the snacks have been eaten."

"But." Itachi stretched out his hand and tried to grab Naruto again, but this time he only caught air.He looked at the plate in his hand and sighed, then silently took off his mask, raised his head, and poured all the walnuts into his mouth.Walnuts are delicious if you eat them occasionally, but if you are like him and eat them almost every day, you will only feel greasy and astringent, like chewing wood.Ahhhh, next time I might as well take it home and feed it to Sasuke.

Konoha cafeteria

后橱

vegetable warehouse

no air conditioning

Child Sasuke is peeling potatoes, child Naruto is also peeling potatoes, and child Sakura is peeling potatoes.

"Why can Sakura go to Konoha Hospital to help, but we have to peel potatoes here?" Uzumaki Naruto certainly knew the answer, but when he saw that Sasuke was so uninterested that he didn't even bother to raise his face, why? To avoid embarrassment, he added, "Forget it, you don't have to answer. I just feel that Tudou is a little lonely."

But Sasuke still answered, "Because compared to the lack of people to peel potatoes, Konoha is more short of medical ninja and nursing staff."

Now it was Naruto's turn and he didn't know how to continue. He felt that he should say that we can't leave Konoha anyway, otherwise we should also switch careers to become medical nins. Maybe the work would be more fun.But after thinking about it, this still seemed like nonsense. If he and Sasuke had the talent to become medical ninjas, they wouldn't have to wait until after graduation. "Eh"

"What's wrong?" Sasuke raised his head and looked at Naruto who was suddenly stunned, "Don't be lazy and peel it quickly. It's time to cook soon. If there are not enough potatoes, the master will be angry. When the master is angry, we But I can’t go home on time for dinner.”

"Ah." Naruto quickly speeded up his hands, but still took the time to look at the corner a few more times. His intuition told him that there seemed to be something there. Could it be that the legendary canteen thief appeared again?

So Sasuke, who received the message from Naruto's toes, carefully observed the reflection of the steel knife in his hand. In the corner, there were only pumpkins and cabbages piled up. Even if he pricked up his ears and listened hard, he could not hear anything other than him and Naruto. Breathing and heartbeat.Finally, he also gave Naruto a tiptoe, "Maybe a fly just flew by."

"It's not a fly." Naruto's toes continued to convey doubts, "We can still hear a fly flapping its wings if we listen carefully."

"But flies don't fly forever, they always fall down." Sasuke continued to argue with his toes, otherwise you go over and move to see what will fly. "

"I don't want it. What if it's a ghost? You're better than me, so go ahead."

"But you are the one who is suspicious now. You can find evidence for your own suspicions by yourself. Don't drag me into the water. If there is nothing, and I suddenly pounce there, wouldn't I be a fool again?"

"Protecting the safety of Konoha is the family mission of the Uchiha family. Your brother has followed my father and cannot take care of the family. When you grow up, you may become the Minister of Security of Konoha, so this is your responsibility."

"It's not just mine, everyone has rules to keep Konoha safe."

"Hey, you're talking the same thing now." Naruto started to take action. He waved his sword and pointed it out, "You're not afraid, are you?"

"" Sasuke was very happy to find that he was almost immune to Naruto, "This is the back cupboard of Konoha's cafeteria. The food is cooked for Konoha's ninja apprentices to the Hokage. Do you think if you let bad guys sneak in easily? What will be the consequences?"

"Ahem. Sasuke is really clear-headed. But you are indeed afraid of ghosts." Naruto said enthusiastically, "Tsk, tsk, I still remember the two of us exploring the basement of the Hokage Tower when we were young, and you were so frightened that you were crying for your mother. .”

Any 3-and-a-half-year-old child would cry when Morino Ihiki deliberately pretends to be a ghost to scare her. Do you think anyone has such a big heart like you? Sasuke wanted to retort like this, but once he said it, he would definitely be pestered by Naruto again. , so what Sasuke blurted out was, "Okay, I am indeed afraid of ghosts, and I am most afraid of you causing trouble."

"What do you mean I'm being naughty?" Naruto, who had completely forgotten the strange feeling in the corner, gave up the trouble code and spoke directly.

"Prank." Sasuke answered simply.

"Don't be afraid of being bitten by a snake for ten years."

"But there is a story called The Wolf Who Cried Wolf. Your father must have told it to you."

"You, you." Naruto felt that he couldn't speak up to Sasuke, but he had been used to dominating Sasuke since he was a child, and suddenly he felt very uncomfortable.

"Why don't you just say it but do it? I'm not afraid of you in a fight." Sasuke gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes at Naruto, who felt a little relieved.

"Don't make it sound like you've really beaten me." Naruto hesitated but still didn't dare to do anything in the cafeteria. He quickly changed the subject, "Forget it, let's work hard first. I still want to go home early. I'm helping my dad cook. Speaking of which, it's really hard for my dad. He has to work and do housework. How smart are Ino's dad and your dad, especially your dad, who just got his pension early at home because he can't move his hands a little. Drink tea and play chess, and your mother will serve him three meals a day."

"Don't talk about my mother. In addition to housework, she also has the job of acting as the security minister." Sasuke's face suddenly became strange, "Besides, if my mother can't come home in time, my father will also have to cook."

"Your dad" Naruto almost fell into a pile of potatoes when he thought of the paralyzed Uchiha uncle wearing an apron in the kitchen.

"Yes, my dad, and all kinds of quick-frozen convenience foods." Sasuke sighed and lowered his head to peel potatoes.

Naruto patted Sasuke's shoulder in understanding, sighed, wiped his sweat, and squatted down to continue peeling potatoes.

After a few clicks, the only sound left in the warehouse was the sound of knives and potato peels flying.

And the strange corner over there that was forgotten by the two boys could only continue to be strange.Ahem, no, our wise and powerful Yondaime Hokage is not something strange.But if someone could break his invisibility, his current appearance is indeed quite strange, motionless with his back pressed against the wall, one hand against the pumpkin mountain on the left, and one foot kicking against the cabbage mountain on the right. There is also a head tilted against a small pumpkin.In short, if he dares to move, vegetables will roll down from the vegetable mountain.With a bang, the Hokage who didn't come home from get off work and secretly came to spy on his son would be embarrassed and humiliated. Minato's father didn't want his son to know that his father could actually spy on him.But what should I do now? If I wait until Naruto finishes peeling the potatoes, he won't have time to go home and cook.So this golden flash, who was almost discovered by his son's strong intuition, had a headache and pain, so he simply decided to go to eat Ichiraku for dinner.

Then, when Naruto finished peeling the potatoes and walked out of the cafeteria door, the Hokage, whose hands and feet were already sore, gave his son a small surprise, and also showed off the happy life of the Hokage family to the ninjas who were passing by.

And poor Sasuke

Uchiha main house

kitchen

According to Sasuke's habit, if his father was the only one there when he got home, he would run directly back to his house and wait for his brother or mother to come back.But today, he had no choice but to go into the kitchen, not only because his father was calling him, but also because his brother was in the kitchen.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly? Come and help." As soon as Sasuke showed up at the kitchen door, Uchiha Fugaku walked out with his hands behind his back, "Also, your mother and I will eat out tonight, you two can handle it on your own."

"Oh." Sasuke curled his lips and watched his father slowly walk out the door. He finally dared to take a closer look at his kitchen, which had been renovated again. The milky white carved tiles that had just been replaced last month had a lot of cracks, and they had just been replaced. The shiny stainless steel stove was now pitted and stained with black and gray grease, and even my mother’s favorite set of underglaze bone china tableware was reduced to pieces.There is also a tall cupboard, which is actually lying on the floor.Sasuke could completely imagine how frightened his mother would be after seeing such a terrifying scene, "Is this the end of the world?"

"No, there was just a little accident." Uchiha Itachi jumped down from the table, calmly handed Sasuke an apron and a rag, and pointed to the wall tiles.

Sasuke shook off the floral apron, put it on with a frown, and began to wipe it off. Only then did he realize that his brother was also wearing a floral apron.

"The only thing at home is mom's apron." Itachi remained calm and jumped on the table again. He was cleaning the stains on the ceiling.

Sasuke looked up and saw a piece of burnt black stuff stuck tightly to the shade of his mother's favorite ceiling lamp. He sighed, "You and dad couldn't have gotten into a fight in the kitchen."

"I didn't fight with dad." Itachi paused.

"That's it."

Itachi finally dug out the piece of charcoal and threw it into the trash can, "The fire was too big when frying the steak, and I also used too much chakra when putting out the fire."

Sasuke was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Mom is right, dad is indeed a killer in the kitchen, steak, hahaha, someone who can even cook dumplings into charcoal actually fry steak."

"Because you don't have to worry about whether the steak is cooked well or not." Itachi knelt down and started to collect the broken porcelain, "I saw the Hokage do it at the Hokage's house, and I think it's easy to get started."

"Wait a minute." Sasuke finally heard it.

"Ah." Itachi's voice continued to be calm, but there was a suspicious blush on his face, "I got off work early today, so I gave it a try."

So Sasuke laughed even louder. He was really angry when his brother didn't reply to him anyway.

"Okay, stop laughing." Itachi sighed, took off his gloves and tapped his brother's forehead, "Hurry up and help big brother clean up, and then think about what you want to eat at night, hey."

Sasuke could only smile while wiping, "Actually, it's not that difficult. For example, if you fry the steak, you just need to ensure the heat. If my brother wants to eat it, let me cook it next time. I think what I cook is at least edible. .”

"Sasuke can actually cook" Itachi was really a little surprised this time.

"What's so strange about this." Sasuke sighed, "Naruto and I helped peel potatoes for the Konoha cafeteria all day long."

"Uh-huh." Itachi was a little embarrassed. He knew that his younger brother had always been dissatisfied with his work, and he also felt that he should comfort his younger brother, but how could he comfort him in this kind of thing? No matter how funny peeling potatoes is, it is still a task. If you have a task, you must work hard to do it. And it's better than being trapped in the office, "Sasuke, just hold on a little longer and survive the genin period."

"Who knows how long my genin period is." Sasuke could only continue to sigh, "But brother, don't worry too much about me. The stupid genin life is not without fun. Although I always feel that I am getting less and less. He's like a ninja who can be compared to my brother."
