Fire Country Konoha Hokage Studio

Naruto Office

Doorway

"As for you," asked the Hokage, "does it mean that every time Uchiha comes, you come with him every other day? Your ears are so big."

"Be on guard against the slightest change." The visitor replied.

The Hokage could only stop getting ready to get off work, sighed and sat back at his desk.

The person who came here released his hand from the door frame of the office, closed the door, walked to the desk, leaned back, turned and smiled at the Hokage.

The Hokage sighed again, opened his snack drawer and flipped through it.However, no matter what, he couldn't find a cigarette, so he had to throw a candy bar on the table.

"It seems that Kakashi hasn't released his control over you yet." The handsome man took out a lighter from his trouser pocket and lit it. "Anyway, you don't need to smoke to refresh yourself now, so don't smoke anymore. Good tobacco is not a good habit either.”

"Then why are you, a heavily addicted tobacco addict, hooking up with me here?" The Hokage looked at the man, whose eyes like LED energy-saving light bulbs shone white under the sunlight.

"It's not okay to play with fire. Are they allowed to fan the Uchiha family every day and fan the flames everywhere, and we are not allowed to use lighters from the Hyuga family?" The visitor is from the Hyuga family. Judging by his appearance, it is Hinata Hizashi, the Logistics Minister of Konoha. The style became that of Hyuga Hizashi, the head of the Hyuga branch clan.

"I just don't want to disappoint some people in your family." The Hokage bit his words, peeled off a candy for himself and threw it in his mouth. He rubbed the hard plastic candy wrapper, feeling a little unhappy, "And according to your Theory, you and I have secretly smoked together for so many years, and this time you come here on purpose. If you don’t smell like fireworks, someone else will start to think about other things."

"It doesn't matter, no matter what we do, the people who should be thinking are also thinking. So, sir, as long as you can chat with our Hyuga family members longer than with the Uchiha family members, then send our family out. I just need to be more enthusiastic than the one from the Uchiha family." Hinata Hizashi said, feeling a little embarrassed as he spoke, "The elders in our family heard what the old guys from the Uchiha family said yesterday. , you gave Fugaku precious tea leaves, and you went out arm-in-arm with him, that’s it.”

"Are you feeling unbalanced? He's here to cause trouble for me, okay?"

"But others don't know it."

"Okay, okay." Naruto bit into the fruit hard candy, saying that he preferred the soft toffee, "Fugaku's old injuries are quite annoying. He told me that he felt uncomfortable after being at the workstation for a long time, and I gave him some help. "

"Yes, yes, the sick should stay at home and not cause trouble to everyone." Hinata Hizashi also picked up the candy and tossed it up and down in his hand, "So, I came here after hearing that you had finished work. Yes, I will definitely try to cause you less trouble."

"Then I would rather you take up my working time like Fugaku." The Hokage looked at his watch. It was already past 5 o'clock. He and his son had just filled the refrigerator yesterday, and today was a good time to make a big meal.Therefore, his words began to sound a little ugly, "As for why your family is unbalanced, I thought this would only happen if a dog like Kakashi raised too many dogs and couldn't feed them enough. It's inexplicable."

"Only dogs that can wag their tails will be fed." But since the shameless Hizashi was sent to connect with the Hokage, he is definitely more suitable than his brother Hizashi, "Please control your anger too, it looks like It seems to have delayed your return home to have dinner with your son. I understand. I understand. Look at that damn boy Kai. He likes to take on field missions on the border all day long. My Neji finally has a vacation. In fact, Neji is also at home now. He's waiting for me, his good father, to eat, bathe and chat together. In contrast, Minato, you see your son several times every day."

"Then you are still wasting your time with me."

"Wag your tail, who makes the Yondaime Hokage always like to promote and reuse, well, people he trusts more."

"Just say that I like nepotism. What's wrong with me is nepotism. Don't make it sound like there's no one else like this." The Hokage looked at his watch again, chatted with Hizashi, and several dozen seconds passed.

"So it is a very important job to keep in touch with you." Hizashi caught the Hokage's words, "Although no one really thinks that whoever the Hokage is closer to, a personal relationship is better, but it is used to block Yunyu Public opinion is still very useful. So since we can solve this most troublesome problem in ancient and modern times by just chatting here, why don’t we do this?”

Naruto had no choice but to open the drawer and continue eating candy.

Now, the sad thing is that Hinata Hidashi is gone. He doesn't want to stand like this at all, but the last topic is over and the Hokage doesn't bring up the next topic. How can we talk today, "Ahem, um, Minato, sir."

Minato held his chin and continued chewing candy. This time he got a mint-flavored one, and now his mouth was filled with an unbearable coolness. He wanted to spit it out, but he was really a little embarrassed.

"Minato, are you really angry?" Hizashi saw that Minato ignored him and stopped telling him cold jokes. He finally realized that his tone today was a little harsh.It's really a mistake for a person who aims to please his boss to still resist and refute.

"I didn't." However, Minato didn't want Hizashi to misunderstand anything. He finally swallowed the disgusting mint candy, "You are here to stop the random thoughts of people with random thoughts, so please don't do it yourself. I'm lost in my thoughts. I just met several outsiders from the village in the afternoon who need to compete with each other, and I really don't want to talk now."

"Ah, thank you for your hard work." Then Hizashi became quiet. He understood that his friend Minato Namikaze really didn't want him to become the one who needed to keep talking and testing. Although he is that kind of friend.

But is it really good for two grown men to be in a daze together? Maybe, they can complain about the construction progress of the new Hokage Building in their eldest brother's logistics department, or simply talk about their respective sons, and maybe they can discuss the future daughter-in-law, which is more relaxed. topic of.Hizashi, who was lively by nature, couldn't help but secretly look at his friend. The sunset in mid-September has begun to come early. In the cloudless sky, the unobstructed setting sun is pouring in from the large floor-to-ceiling window of the Hokage's office, hitting Minato Namikaze's back, making that person's The figure seemed to be plated with gold.So Hinata Hizashi felt that the distance between them was getting farther and farther.

But immediately, the distance became closer again.Hinata Hizashi saw that Naruto Namikaze Minato had closed his eyes and even lowered his head to take a nap.

After that, Hizashi really stopped trying to find opportunities to speak, and closed his eyes together.He didn't want to judge whether Namikaze Minato was really sleepy or did it deliberately.He only knew that there was a time in their lives when they were younger than they were young.At that time, Konoha was not as big as it is now, but there were also a lot of people. Although everyone had their own ideas, their ideas were not very complicated, and they could stand up to anyone who was called a teammate. Go to sleep without any worries.

However, our young master Naruto will not understand this kind of mood.

Hatake old house

Small Restaurant

Uzumaki Naruto was staring at Hatake Kakashi again.

"It's already past 6 o'clock, why hasn't dad come back yet?" Naruto lay on the table, one hand covering his stomach and the other stretched out straight. I'm hungry. "

"I told you I'm meeting someone." Kakashi drank juice and flipped through the book. "If you're hungry, eat first."

"No, dad said we're going to have a big dinner tonight." Naruto stretched out one leg backwards, raised his toes, and opened the refrigerator door with a creak, "Look, there are so many golden ingredients, I want to eat them." Daddy’s great meal.”

"But today it seems that even if he has time to come back for dinner, he doesn't have time to come back to cook." Kakashi turned a page of the book, "How about you do it."

"I can't make these high-end ingredients, okay?" Master Naruto, who hates waste, has never shown off in the kitchen.

"Then continue to wait for your dad. If he is not too tired, let him cook a big meal. If he comes back late, we will all eat in the cafeteria."

"You are so patient."

"Then everyone will have fun." Kakashi, who was absorbed in reading, didn't want to talk nonsense with Naruto at all.

But Naruto really needed to divert his attention to avoid thinking about his shriveled belly, "Ichiraku is good, but I've been eating it for many days."

"Lie down." This was Kakashi's voice as he buckled down the book and looked at Naruto seriously.

Naruto was startled by Kakashi, "What?"

"what did you just say"

"I've been eating Ichiraku for several days in a row."

Kakashi decisively wiped his hands on his clothes, then put his hand on Naruto's forehead, "You don't have a fever, you kid actually said you were tired of eating."

"How can you get tired of the delicious Ichiraku?" Naruto threw Kakashi away, "You and Kabuto are both talking about it. Dad is a brain worker now. If the diet structure is unreasonable, it is easy to lose nutrition. If you suffer from hypoglycemia, your brain will often be deprived of oxygen due to low blood sugar, and you will develop Alzheimer’s disease as you get older.”

So Kakashi could only face Naruto with a slap in the face.

"Hello,

what do you mean. "Naruto intuitively felt that Kakashi didn't have anything good to say about him in his heart.

"It's nothing, he just saw that his father is back." It was Minato Namikaze who answered him. Minato's father had once again been freed from the mental damage caused by the words "Alzheimer's". He just didn't understand how his son could I can never forget those words.

Naruto sat down immediately. He was about to call daddy sweetly as usual, but his stomach had already said for him, "Gulu."

"Sorry, dad is late again." Minato looked at his son's watery eyes and quickly apologized.In the past, he was so generous that he allowed his son to eat in the canteen, but now he agrees to it even though he has time to cook, but he still eats fast food every day. Compared with the seriousness with which his son cooks for his father every time, he always feels that I am so inferior.

But Naruto wouldn't think like this. This young boy with straight brain cells only knows that he should eat when he is hungry, "Dad, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Minato's father sighed secretly, and he looked at Kakashi aside.

Kakashi also looked at Minato, and suddenly, his stomach growled unconvincingly.

Minato laughed instantly, "Kakashi, you won't be like Naruto, not eating enough at noon just for the big meal in the evening."

"It's normal for your stomach to growl when it's time to eat." Kakashi made a mark and closed the book, "Teacher, you're not hungry because you have a stomach problem."

"I just ate a few pieces of candy." Minato narrowed his eyes, "The store is so crowded now, Kakashi, go to Ichiraku and order some takeout."

Kakashi didn't say anything, just jumped through the window and flew away.

"Dad, do you think Kakashi will really bring Ichiraku back?" Naruto was deeply doubtful.

"If Kakashi dares to bring back food from the cafeteria." Minato's father raised his lips, "Naruto, you should eat some fruit first to appease your stomach. Dad will make a big meal for you right away, and let him eat in the cafeteria and watch. "

But before long, Kakashi came back with a large package that was obviously not a cafeteria style.He opened the furoshiki and found several exquisite carved wooden lunch boxes inside. He waited for Kakashi to place the lunch boxes one by one and open them.

Naruto was the first to exclaim, "Wow, wow, Kakashi, what a beautiful sushi set, it must be expensive, you are so generous today."

Then wait for Kakashi to take out a flat cylindrical paper box and open it.

Minato also frowned, "Isn't it your birthday yesterday?"

"Just buy a dime of cake. You are sure it will be enough for Naruto to eat sushi but not enough for your son." Kakashi sighed.

"How can I eat that well?" Naruto retorted weakly with the voice in his stomach.

Minato's father still couldn't help but laugh. He took chopsticks to Naruto, "Come on, we are poor Kakashi, and Gaara, I can't see him when eating lately."

"If you work overtime, you can eat in the cafeteria." Kakashi poured jealousy on the teacher.

"Oh." Minato's father moved the vinegar plate in front of Naruto who had already started stuffing sushi, "Then Kakashi, you seem to have nothing to do today."

"Yeah." Kakashi quickly joined in the sushi fight with Naruto.But soon he was not in the mood to eat and eat, because he heard the teacher say, let me see if you have regressed later.

"No need, teacher." Kakashi, who has been a little neglected in exercise recently, doesn't want to make the teacher angry. "I have work early tomorrow morning. It's rare that everyone is fine, so why not play cards?"

"What a decadent suggestion." The Hokage frowned after being silently warned by his old subordinate for two days in a row "Don't slack off."

"But in addition to eating, sleeping and working, people always need some entertainment to be physically and mentally healthy." Kakashi quickly pulled his comrades in, "Naruto, look at your dad, besides working, eating and sleeping, he doesn't even have any hobbies. This is not normal. "

"I read novels."Minato interjected.

"But the novel you read is not entertaining at all." Kakashi retorted.

"You really lack the self-discipline of a ninja." Minato frowned.

"Humans are not machines." Kakashi continued to retort, and then looked at Naruto who was still eating.

Naruto swallowed quickly and looked at his father and Kakashi.Although Dad really needs to relax, he can't say it to Kakashi, "Actually, many people don't have hobbies. Look at Sasuke, his brother, his dad, eating, sleeping, mission training, haven't they lived well for so many years? "

"" Kakashi was unable to refute. He wanted to tell Naruto that the Uchiha family couldn't use common sense to speculate.

and over there

Uchiha main house

It's past dinner time.

Itachi and Sasuke, who were haunted by Kakashi's strong resentment, sneezed and set off for training.After Mikoto finished washing the dishes, she went back to the security department to work overtime.Therefore, Fugaku was left alone in the huge Uchiha main house and sneezed loudly.

Uchiha Fugaku rubbed his nose, looked at the lights outside the window, and closed the window.Then he picked up the broom and started sweeping the floor.Even though his floors are really clean.But instead of sweeping the floor, what else can he do after retirement? He tried shogi, but after two days of playing alone, he no longer wanted to play.He tried writing, but the right-handed Fugaku really didn't want to see his left-hand handwriting look like a dog crawling.He also read, but he fell asleep even after looking at the intimate paradise.Not to mention what he told Miqin before that after retirement, he would help her wash and cook every day, and pull out flowers and plants in the garden to grow vegetables.At this time, Uchiha Fugaku had to admit that he had almost completely turned into a waste.

But trash also needs to live a trash life.

Fugaku sighed and put down the broom that he hadn't swept a few times.It's not that he can't even sweep the floor and wants to give up on himself, but that it's time for medicine to be applied to his old wounds.Now, Uchiha Fugaku needed to return to the bedroom as soon as possible and find the long white porcelain jar that was not essentially different from the urn.Then he took off his shirt, opened the jar, dug out a big lump with his left hand, and slapped it on his poor right shoulder.Then, he would rub as hard as possible on the shoulder covered with twisted scars until the cool ointment seeped into the skin, and the dry and hot scars began to become softer, until it became more and more painful. The pain was enough to cover up the itch that made him want to stab his shoulder with a knife.

Uchiha Fugaku, like all ninjas, is not afraid of pain, but it doesn't matter if he dies of itching.

So the more Fugaku thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He wiped the sweat on his back with his shirt and threw it into the corner as if to vent his anger.Then, he threw himself on the big bed by the window.

As a result, he became even more depressed.Because this large bed is the latest design, beautiful and comfortable, but Fugaku, who has been used to sleeping on tatami for half his life, just doesn't like this soft steel wire bed.He felt that the bed was really too soft and comfortable, and the comfort would consume one's will.But he could only endure it.Because a high bed would make it much more convenient and labor-saving for Miqin to help him apply medicine and massage.Moreover, even if no one is around, he can sit up with his lowered feet. As long as he sits up, he can stand and walk without bothering others.

So Fugaku didn't stay in bed for long before he got up again.He returned to the corner, picked up his clothes and put them on.He should go to bed early, but he didn't want to sleep alone at all.So he went to the kitchen to make himself a small pot of boiling water, then carried the pot back to the bedroom and sat on the small sofa next to the bed.Yes, just to make life more convenient, his futon has been thrown away long ago and is nowhere to be found.Of course, there is also his short bamboo coffee table, which has now been replaced by a tall one that matches the sofa.In short, this ancient master's bedroom has become completely incompatible with the old Uchiha house because of him.

But what can he do?

Uchiha Fugaku complained as he opened the tea he had robbed from Minato yesterday.Originally, taking something from Minato was just to show that his personal relationship with the Hokage was still strong.But since the doctor said that this tea is also good for his own body, why not drink it? Fugaku thought about Minato, who had obviously improved a lot in the past few months, sighed, and picked up a few discarded tea leaves from the top. Pour into the teacup and pour hot water.Then he poured the remaining ginseng tea into the clean tea jar that Mikoto had cleaned for him.

Fugaku held the hot tea and drank it.He remembered Minato saying that he didn't like the taste of the tea.Maybe this tea is really hard to drink.However, Fugaku, whose taste has become less sensitive with age and injuries, is glad that he can't taste it.He only felt that the tea was very warm. When he drank it, it flowed from his throat through his esophagus and into his stomach, making his entire chest and abdomen feel warm.Although it doesn't seem to have any effect on the old scar on his right shoulder, the effect on helping him sleep is still very obvious.

So Fugaku was really sleepy. He found that as he fell asleep, his body became heavier and heavier, even heavier than when an old injury relapsed on a rainy day.But it feels very comfortable.Make him want to go to bed right away.But Fugaku still wasn't ready to go to bed.Because the sofa is also very warm and comfortable, and more importantly, if he sleeps on the sofa, Mikoto will have to wake him up first when he comes home from the night shift.Fugaku believes that as a woman, knowing that someone is waiting for her to get off work should make her feel very happy.So this man, who was willing to make his woman happier, looked at the sky through the curtains with peace of mind and closed his eyes.He found that today's moon seemed a little bigger and rounder than yesterday's.

People with full moon are waiting for next year

Konoha 61

At 11:58 at night, Uchiha Mikoto came home from the night shift and found her husband, Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha family, stiff on the sofa, having stopped breathing forever.
