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

It's still the beginning of the month

Hatake old house

5:[-] am

The sky is slightly bright

Kakashi slipped two black garbage bags and pushed open the door.I saw him throwing one hand into the public trash can in the corner from a distance, listening to two "bang bang" sounds, clapping his hands, and sitting in the middle of the threshold.Then he lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and pretended to be a god.

"Smoking is not something that should be encouraged."

When Kakashi turned around, he saw Gaara carrying a big gourd on his back.Gaara seemed to have just finished washing up, put on face wash, and combed his red hair energetically, "Why did you go out so early today? Naruto is cooking breakfast, why don't you wait for him."

"Naruto said there is only bread and jam left in the refrigerator." Gaara raised his feet, "So, I'm going to go to the cafeteria and then go straight to work."

"Oh, why don't you leave quickly? Breakfast will be gone quickly." Kakashi took a breath of cigarette.

"If you don't mind me stepping over your head." Gaara waved away the white smoke and really raised his legs, "I need to work all day, so I think I need to eat well in the morning."

At this time, Kakashi finally knew to sit aside and said, "You are really positive. You like working in the office so much."

"Not really." Gaara walked out the door, "But when I think about the expressions on the faces of those people who I meet every day who are obviously afraid of me to death, but who still have to warmly hold the hand I hold out, I feel inexplicably weird. It’s great.”

"You are really a little pervert."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Kakashi sighed, watching Gaara, who was becoming more and more normal, or more and more strange, invisible around the corner, put out his cigarette, stuffed the cigarette butt into the corner of the drainage pipe, patted his butt and headed to the kitchen.

As a result, there was indeed the leftover toast and jam left by Naruto on the cupboard.But Naruto still stood in front of the stove.

"Go to the refrigerator and get two oranges and squeeze them." Naruto ordered.

"Okay." Kakashi held the toast in his mouth, opened the refrigerator, took out their last two oranges from the empty refrigerator, washed them, cut them in half, and pressed the juicer, "It's not just bread and jam. What are you cooking?"

"Actually, there's still half a pound of noodles and half a cabbage, and I'll crack an egg just enough for dad to eat." Naruto expertly knocked the egg on the edge of the pot, "I'm going to work early today, and my dad, who was sleeping in, got up later. You are responsible for watching him eat it all."

"Okay." Kakashi nodded again, put down the squeezed juice, threw away the peel, then took out a few walnuts from the cabinet, hesitated for a moment, and continued to smash them.

"Aren't you cracking walnuts again?" Naruto suddenly shook his hand, "To be honest, I feel sick. I have carefully read the recipes required by the hospital in the past few days. There are so many kinds of nuts in the world. We Just stop tossing the walnuts, okay? The author has always been as patient as a tortoise shell and almost vomited while writing."

"The problem is that I don't know what your dad eats now without stomachache. It's rare that he can eat it often." Kakashi is okay. Anyway, the teacher's anger from the last physical examination has not gone away, and he just keeps taking walnuts to disgust people. It can't get any worse.

"I mean, we can't try anything else." Naruto turned off the fire and took out the noodles, "Kabuto told me that he was not allowed to eat randomly in the past few months because he was nourishing his stomach, but now he seems to be fine. Come on, when you have time, ask him if you can eat something else, such as almonds, pili nuts, pistachios, etc. Eat less. If it hurts, don't eat it."

"Almonds can be considered, but pili nuts and pistachios, what the hell are they?"

"Overseas food. Specialty products from the small island of the Kingdom of Water. It has recently been launched in the capital market, and my classmates who are working in the field have brought it back."

"Well, there have indeed been a lot of strange things coming to the Land of Fire recently." Kakashi took a piece of paper and jotted down his name. He was going to see who among the guards had recently gone on a business trip to the capital.

Seeing that Kakashi had already remembered it, Naruto ignored him and took off his apron, washed his hands, and prepared to go out, "Kakashi, don't forget to wash the pot later."

"Okay." Kakashi decided to wash it now, but when he saw the thick paste of noodles stuck to the bottom of the pot and the hardened dry vegetables on the side of the pot, he couldn't help but look sad, "Ming I'm a genin, so you can go in peace."

Naruto looked at Kakashi's weird face, looked at his watch, and silently thought that I am a mature man who wants to become a great ninja, and pranks are not suitable for me, not suitable.It wasn't until three times that he could finally wave goodbye to Kakashi smoothly, "Don't forget to ask Kabuto."

Kakashi, who had no idea that he had escaped by chance, had no choice but to put on an apron, roll up his sleeves and work hard to wash the pot. He really should consult the medical ninja about the Hokage's new recipe, but compared to Yakushi Kabuto, He still felt that Shizune was more reliable.

I just don’t know if Kato Shizune has time to receive Kakashi.

Konoha Hospital, it's far from 8 o'clock in the morning.

Kato Shizune still works the morning shift today.And she has received many patients.For example, those who get muscle cramps after not exercising in the morning, couples who get into fights at night, and those unlucky ones who get drunk.It's almost busier than the first aid class on field duty, but this is not a first aid class after all.Kato Shizune took a sip of hot oatmeal and milk, looked up at the red printed word "outpatient" on the office door curtain, and sighed secretly.

"Dang Dang Dang Silent Jounin"

"Come in." As soon as she finished speaking, Shizune saw her colleague turning out from behind the curtain, "Thank you for your hard work."

"No, no, you're the one who worked hard. It's always troublesome for seniors to work the morning shift." Yes, this polite young medical ninja is Minazuki who has successfully passed the Konoha examination period and was awarded the special jounin forehead protector. Shiro, a former subordinate of Zabuza, the traitorous ninja demon of the Land of Water, and the current cohabitant of the patrol squadron leader of the Internal Security Section.

However, Shizune, who had just returned to Konoha, didn't seem to understand the gender of this person, so she naturally made a unique invitation among female colleagues, "I want to go shopping in the afternoon, and I heard that there is another person in the shopping street. We have opened several boutiques specializing in foreign goods, do you want to come?"

"Of course, your bargaining skills are simply admirable." Bai Bai, who was completely unaware that he had been mistaken for the wrong gender, responded without any violation, "But maybe not today, tomorrow, I need it in the afternoon. I helped a colleague in the inpatient area work overtime, and a very troublesome patient came there."

"Ah, what a pity." Shizune changed out of her white coat and began to fold it neatly. However, regardless of a woman's natural tendency to gossip or her addiction to studying professional skills over the years, she couldn't help but want to be curious about being hospitalized. Department, because except for the last Hokage physical examination, she has never been able to step into it.More importantly, you won't be able to attract the disciplinary department if you ask casually, "Well, does this troublesome patient have some incurable disease that I haven't seen before?"

"Of course not, difficult and complicated diseases will be sent to the Yakushi Jonin's research institute." Bai Ya took off his coat and put on a white coat. This obvious latecomer actually introduced the situation in a senior tone, "That newcomer The patient is an ordinary old man's disease. Originally, according to the rules of Konoha Hospital, we should not accept such patients who collapsed simply because of old age. Konoha's finances will not allow precious public medical resources to be occupied for a long time by meaningless treatment. . But the patient was sent by the Third Generation himself. So, you know, this kind of arrangement is not usually made, and the manpower is correspondingly insufficient. "

"That's it." Shizune frowned, "It's really troublesome. But I think if you are reasonable, the Third Generation wouldn't embarrass the hospital too much."

"But." Bai said with some heartache, "Although the rules are the rules, the principle is also the same. But the third generation seems to have a deep relationship with the patient. If you feel the same way, in short, I suggest giving up the treatment, at least I say no. Exports."

"So, Yakushi Kabuto didn't raise any objections." Although Shizune knew that Kabuto's naughty guy would definitely not easily offend the Third Generation, she still wanted to ask.

"Well." Bai sighed, "Although this is unfair to those patients and their families who have reluctantly given up. But after all, we are the third generation of adults. Other seniors

They all said that it was rare for that adult to need us.Besides, thanks to the Yondaime-sama, Konoha Hospital is now at least not short of money and supplies. In terms of manpower, there is nothing wrong with working overtime. "

"It sounds like Kabuto is not afraid of making exceptions after making exceptions."

"How can I not be afraid? This is how the previous medical director resigned." Bai suddenly shouted softly, "I seem to have said a lot of things that I shouldn't have said. I'm sorry, although there is nothing I can't say to others, but I still ask you not to spread the disease to the hospital. Ministry matters. Medicine Master has already worked very hard."

"Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense." Shizune, who had already changed her clothes, smiled, waved and walked out of the door.In fact, after satisfying her curiosity, she no longer had any interest in this matter.Although, she did have a moment where she wanted to see the jokes of some young people who pretended to be "innocent and kind" all day long.

But young people are not the only ones in Konoha.

Fire Country Konoha

Naruto

Just fool me and it’s afternoon again

The Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi had just come out of Konoha Hospital and walked straight to his former office as if he hadn't been there for a long time.Then knock on the door.Yes, he knocked on the door today, and he went in after hearing the Yondaime Hokage say please come in.Moreover, he saw that Minato, who was writing with his head down and ignoring him, did not slap the table as usual.Because, he really wanted to ask for something today, and he was arrogant and unreasonable.

The current owner of the "What's the matter?" office seems to be really busy.

"Minato, thank you for your hard work." But the former Hokage still hoped to get a greeting.

"It's okay." The current Hokage insisted on getting straight to the point, "Thirdai-sama, please tell me what you have to say."

"Ah." Hiruzen, who was not ready for a direct conversation, was quickly organizing words in his head.For example, his steward, just as his disciple said, he accidentally fell down one dewy morning and could not open his eyes again.Fortunately, he is still alive, so, as the Sandaime Hokage, he hopes that this once meritorious ninja can get well as soon as possible with the efforts of Konoha Hospital.But Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that his willful request was really unreasonable.Hope without meaning means no treatment.This has nothing to do with people's contribution.Moreover, Sarutobi will not forget that even if he is a meritorious ninja of Konoha, he has never had to commit suicide for the future of Konoha. War is so cruel.But Sarutobi also knew very well that whether in wartime or in relatively affluent peacetime, if the Hokage at the pinnacle of power wanted to do something unreasonable, it was actually very simple, as long as he said it differently, it would be enough.

"But, what do you want to say?" The current Hokage couldn't wait for his predecessor's words, and he was a little impatient. "Please tell me if you have something to say. If it is really difficult to say, you can choose to give me a reasonable report, or it is better not to say it."

The Sandaime sighed, but still expressed his thoughts, "I just came to ask, Danzo, he developed a drug at that time. The hospital said that you ordered it to be sealed."

"Oh. There are many medicines with the same effect. There is no need to invest precious manpower and material resources for a failed experiment." Minato looked at the old man in front of him. Red-brown age spots and deep wrinkles were piled on his dry cheeks. On the skin, but those still energetic eyes and upright stance also told Minato, "You don't seem to need to use that yet."

"Someone else needs it."

"Any fruit knife can have the same effect." The Fourth Hokage tapped the tip of his pen on the table. "If you are afraid of pain, there are plenty of sleeping pills and analgesics."

"No, it's not the medicine that Danzo gave him to die more comfortably." The Sandaime sighed, gritted his teeth and said it out, "It's the medicine that made him live for several more months."

"I don't remember Danzo having that kind of thing." The Yondaime also sighed, "Forget it, with your level of confidentiality in Konoha, there is actually nothing that cannot be found out, but it seems that the source of your information is not So accurate, in fact, they’re a medicine.”

""

Minato looked at the frowning Sandaime, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "Yeah, it's just a medicine, it's just a matter of dosage."

"That's it."

"Furthermore, even Danzo only knows how much dosage can kill people. I don't think Danzo-senpai has any interest in studying other medicines than saving lives."

"But that kind of kept him alive for months."

"But Danzo is still dead."

"I understand." The Sandaime continued to sigh, "But don't you realize that since so much manpower and material resources have been spent on development, it is rare to have some good results, and there is so much waste of bad antibiotics and cell replication technology. Aren't they all discovered accidentally? Medical Ninjutsu has never been a panacea. If you have a cold or fever and lower your blood pressure, you have to take medicine."

"Konoha Hospital is finally on the right track again. I hope those young people can blossom and bear fruit, instead of being kicked out of Konoha because of human experimentation and becoming rebellious ninja."

"Drug clinical trials and criminal human experiments are never the same thing." The Sandaime took out his cigarette rod and smoked it without lighting it. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have kept Orochimaru's experimental data and handed it over. Kabuto also has a laboratory, right?"

Minato hesitated for a few seconds, "Konoha's medical system does have procedures for drug clinical trials, but this requires you to apply to me in person."

"He can't come. But my butler, the servant of the Sarutobi family, I, the head of the family, still have the final say."

"Oh, then you come and sign." Minato looked at the former Hokage who lowered his head and said nothing, sighed, took out a small scroll from the drawer, then opened it and spread it flat on the table, "Just write Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen What's the name of the house servant, that old gentleman who is the housekeeper? In short, that's what it means."

"There is no ninja number or name. He is a dead soldier of the Sarutobi family." The third generation stepped forward, read the agreement at the front, then grabbed a pen and wrote "Sarutobi" at the end of the name array at the back. "Flying Sun Slash" and walked out.He felt that when he turned out of the dark corridor, the secret guards were just as they had been when he came, returning to their original positions like the wind. They were indeed much cleaner than his guards back then. .

And in the Hokage's office

The alert captain of the secret guard, Uchiha Itachi, once again transformed into a top spinning in the files.The Yondaime Hokage, who was turning his pen and drinking water, glanced at the wooden face of his subordinate, gave up the idea of ​​disturbing the kid's work, sighed, took another drink of water, picked up the phone and called Yakushi Kabuto, "Kabuto, the Third Generation is here as expected. I accepted it, and I asked him to sign it, so you can do whatever you want."

"Okay, my lord."

"Then that's it." Naruto hung up the phone and continued to write and drink water.He suddenly realized that he should prepare a gift in advance for the old man whom he had no impression of at all.Although the Hokage had no reason to attend the memorial service of other retainers.But after all, he is the butler of the former Hokage. After death, it is okay to give him a gift. "But how much should I give? Bai Shi is really annoying, isn't it, Itachi."

But according to the mysterious Kakashi regulations of ANBU, the Hokage's strange words were ignored, and Itachi continued to do his own thing.

Our self-inflicted Hokage had no choice but to continue drinking water, but after finishing a glass, his required rest time had not passed.So, I had to pour another glass of water, stand up, and look out the window.

At this time, the sun was shining outside the window, and almost the entire Konoha was within the sight range of his Kage-level ninja.Business travelers coming and going, housewives going out to buy groceries, ANBU on patrol, and genin doing all kinds of boring jobs.You can also see children attending classes on the playground of Konoha School, as well as several ruins that have been fenced off for demolition.And of course there was the new Hokage Tower that stood proudly in the center of Konoha.

Really feel good.

Minato put down the cup and turned around to sit down and continue working. He signed every sign while blessing. He wished that the loyal servant of the Sarutobi family would survive at least until the 15th of this month.

I wish that stuff should be given to people who believe in it

September 61 in Konoha, cloudless
