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

So soon it was daybreak.

Nothing major happened in Konoha, where the birds were singing and the flowers were blooming.

The old house of Konoha Hatake in the Land of Fire

"Why didn't Kakashi come out to eat today?" Our fourth generation Hokage finished his millet and wolfberry porridge and looked at the untouched breakfast on the table, half a basket of croissants and a small pot of saury. Salad, and a bowl of thick black sesame paste.

"Oh, I came back just after three o'clock last night, and Kakashi took over the guard duty for me." Uchiha Shisui, who was sitting next to him, quickly stuffed the big meat buns stuffed with three delicacies into his throat, "Sir, I'll go Call him."

"Forget it, let him sleep. He will starve to death and save food."

"Yes." Zhishui heard the Hokage's dissatisfaction with his disciple, but what does that have to do with him?

As a result, the Hokage frowned without hearing any more suggestions. He stretched out his hand to grab the bread and the salad specially prepared for Kakashi.

Naruto stopped eating when he saw this, "Dad, don't eat cold things like sashimi early in the morning."

"The salad will be stale by the time Kakashi wakes up. It's not good to waste it." Minato's father gave the sliced ​​transparent saury to Naruto.

"That's true." Naruto didn't like eating this stuff at all, so he picked up his fork, and the cold and slippery food went into the mouth of Gaara, who was not afraid of being cold. "But Dad, you seem to have a good appetite today."

"It's very good." Our Hokage bit into the vegetables and occasionally took a piece of crispy croissant. He felt that the whole world became brighter. 555, the stomach disease patients who finally no longer have to eat food are really happy.

"And daddy." Naruto helped his dad eat salad, "Today's breakfast seems to be very special. Is there anything to celebrate?"

Of course, Minato's father would not say this to his son to celebrate that I no longer have to eat hospital meals. He chewed the bread and asked, "Are you satisfied with today's breakfast, Naruto?"

"It's delicious. I really want to eat it like this every day." Naruto scooped up a large piece of caramel pudding and didn't want to stop talking. 555 is not the same boxed milk omelette, bacon, floss, ham sandwich and nutritious meal in the cafeteria. , but fried golden dumplings, large white buns, bread pudding desserts from the pastry shop, crispy appetizers and millet porridge, "How can our family afford the food expenses if we just eat like this every day?"

"Um, I'm afraid not, wait." Minato's father took the fork in his hand and calculated his current salary, bonus and dividends. He found that since Konoha started to issue full salary last month, he can do whatever he wants. If he wants to increase his breakfast budget without going bankrupt, then why does he still have to eat in the cafeteria every day? He could just ask a small restaurant in Konoha to make another one for his family just like today. Sure enough, if the country is rich, Konoha will be rich. Now, if Konoha is rich, it won't be in arrears with the Hokage's salary. If the Hokage is rich, he will have the motivation to work hard and live a good life.

"So Dad." Naruto looked at his father who seemed a little excited and asked excitedly, "Your expression seems to be saying that our family can eat these delicious things every day like Sasuke and his family. Is it done?”

"It seems so." Minato's father looked at Naruto, Gaara and Shisui who were looking forward to it, and nodded fiercely.

But Naruto looked at the empty chairs of Gaara Shisui and Kakashi, and asked without giving face to his father, "Dad, don't show off for the sake of face, or you will be embarrassed if you don't have money to pay the bills at the end of the month. You Don’t forget that we are not the only two eating at home.”

"Son, what are you thinking about? When you finish the task in the evening, go check your salary card for your father. Didn't I already give you my card?" The excited Hokage was a little embarrassed by his son's question, "Naruto. People, there are objective reasons why our family used to be thrifty. Konoha has been very poor in the past few years, and my father, as the Hokage, needs to take the lead. Now that we are rich, I can't think of changing my living habits for a while, it's just a habit. That's all - it's not like the Hokage can't even afford to raise a son."

"Really."

"real"

So looking at the Hokage and his son who were hugging each other and almost bursting into tears, Gaara, the "proton" who had never really paid for food, was even more embarrassed, but he didn't eat less food at all.Our guard captain who also kept eating and drinking for free was not only embarrassed, at least he really couldn't eat.As the captain of the Hokage's guard, he certainly knows how much the Hokage family hates dining in the cafeteria, but at the same time, he, a well-paid single Konoha ninja, still has no choice but to have a drink and a luxurious meal every week - all from me The incompetence of this generation drags down the Hokage like this. I really want to commit seppuku. What should I do? I am waiting online. It is quite urgent.

But no matter what, breakfast must come to an end.Naruto and Gaara packed up the meat dumplings that Kakashi didn't come to eat and the shrimp fried dumplings that Shisui didn't finish, and skipped off to work.And our Shisui-sama is washing the dishes obediently.

"You should go and take a rest." The Hokage wiped the table, "He will clean it when Kakashi wakes up."

"That's right." The captain of the guard, who still felt a little uncomfortable, washed the dishes more seriously, "Sir, don't get involved, leave the garbage to me."

Our somewhat inexplicable Hokage looked at his subordinate who clearly disliked doing housework the most and shrugged, "Okay then, I'll change my clothes and go straight to work."

"Yes." The captain of the red-eyed guard watched the Hokage leave, and then looked at the plate that accidentally broke in half in his hand. He could only sigh with emotion. Fortunately, this was not brought from the Namikaze mansion, otherwise he would have committed seppuku.But what about the bowl of sesame paste that no one drank just now?

Of course in the hands of the Hokage.

Our Hokage looked at his watch and saw that there were still about 10 minutes left before going to work. He really needed to see Kakashi - in fact, Kakashi never stopped coming for breakfast without saying anything.

"Dang, Dang, Dang." Two long, one short, and then short, this is the secret code that Namikaze Minato and Kakashi have agreed on for a long time and have not changed.

"Clang, clang, clang." There was no reply from the room, which made the Hokage even more suspicious. It is impossible for a ninja like Kakashi to hear the sounds from the outside without any reaction, "Kakashi, I'm coming in. "

Minato held the sesame paste and opened the locked door, "You're not really having a temper, are you?"

"No." Kakashi's voice came from under the quilt.

Minato put down the bowl, put his hand under the quilt and touched Kakashi's head, "You're not going to be sick."

"No." Kakashi still said in an angry tone, "I'm not you."

Minato lifted the quilt and touched Kakashi's neck and armpits, "It's true that you don't have a fever, but your voice sounds like you have a cold."

"No, no, I'm fine." Kakashi covered himself with the quilt and turned towards the wall, "Teacher, I'm just a little tired and I want to sleep. You go to work quickly and leave me alone for a while."

"What's wrong?" Minato finally started to get really worried, "You're not sick, and you're not getting into any trouble, so you're like a cat in the broad daylight, huddled under the quilt and talking like that. Eat your breakfast and then go to sleep."

Kakashi had no choice but to get up, hold the quilt and pick up the bowl.

"I know you have some opinions in your heart now." Minato breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Kakashi was willing to get up, "But think about it for yourself, what accident happened to the ANBU last month? All actions are confidential. I don’t need to punish you openly, but if I don’t deal with you at all when you make a mistake, what do you think those people who know about it will think, it would be enough for Uchiha Mikoto alone.”

"Sorry, teacher."

"I don't need an apology, Kakashi." Minato twirled his hands behind his back, "You are the AN Minister appointed by me. You did something wrong, and I did something wrong. But again, no matter if I hit you I will actually demote you. You deserve it. You should understand."

"Sorry, sensei." Kakashi's voice became much softer.

When Minato turned around, he saw his disciple unconsciously putting sesame paste into his mouth, forgetting that he even wore a mask, and became even more angry, "Kakashi, you have to know what on earth you are thinking about. With the accident this time in ANBU, if It's not you. I killed ANBU and no one said anything. But you see, I've spoiled you now. I just reduced your authority and you are no longer ANBU. You are no longer the only disciple of the Yondaime Hokage. How old do you think you are?”

"Sorry, teacher."

Minato slapped the spoon out of Kakashi's hand, "Don't eat it yet. Look at me and tell me, what's going on with you, if you don't explain it clearly, neither of us will be in this class today." ”

Kakashi hurriedly bent down and tried to pick up the spoon, but his hand slipped and a crisper sound of the spoon falling to the ground made him shiver.

Minato retracted his foot, "There are still 7 minutes."

& nbs

p;Kakashi swallowed.

Minato straightened his face and faced Kakashi, "Tell me, except for Naruto, I am willing to listen to you about anything, even if you tell me you just had a nightmare yesterday and was in a bad mood."

"I just don't know what to say." Kakashi raised his sleeve and wiped the sesame paste on his mask as if he had woken up, "I saw him yesterday."

"Who?" Naruto frowned.

"Hatake White Fang." Kakashi suddenly looked up at the teacher, "I saw him, it was him, Hatake Shigesaku, in the same bedroom where he committed suicide."

"Ah, that's it." Minato touched his chin and looked at Kakashi, whose eyes were bloodshot, and sighed, "You really put that set of intimate paradise that Jiraiya gave you there."

"Teacher, I saw Hatake White Teeth. My father who committed suicide out of fear of crime in his early years was exactly the same as the day he died. There was a knife in his stomach and blood all over the floor. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Hold me. "

"No, the point is that the making-out paradise is indeed there. Is the latest series about making-out violence also there? I said I can't find it." Minato sat next to Kakashi and put his arm around his shoulders. , opened his blindfold, "Also, are you saying that you saw a ghost and were so frightened that you went crazy trying to break the illusion?"

"I'm not scared," Kakashi retorted, "it's just not normal."

"Sure enough, the Sharingan was overused." Minato took out his cigarette case from Kaka's arms, "Does it hurt? Do you want to smoke?"

"It doesn't hurt very much."

"Actually, your special cigarettes have some effect." Minato took out the amount of pain relief, 5 cigarettes, and stuffed them into Kakashi's mouth.

Kakashi lit a cigarette and puffed out his eyes at the Sharingan, "Teacher, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"

"Ghosts are much scarier than humans." Minato patted his disciple on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid of ghosts. I've told you many times. Teacher, I've seen Death with my own eyes. He's not that scary."

"I wasn't scared." Kakashi emphasized again, "I just overused the Sharingan."

"Okay, you weren't scared." Minato said noncommittally, "By the way, White Fang hasn't talked to you yet."

"No."

"Oh, you should try to talk to him next time. Souls that cannot be reincarnated are very lonely."

"teacher."

"Didn't I tell you before? I see him often. He always says that our Kakashi is already 30 years old. Why is he not married yet and he can't wait to have grandchildren?"

"teacher"

"I can only tell him that it's really hard to find kunoichi now, and Kakashi is the one."

"Teacher, stop talking." Kakashi sighed, "I'm not you. I need to hold the photo and talk every day to relieve stress."

"It's not about reducing stress. Your sister Qinai is in the photo."

"Can you please be serious? If the White Fang I saw is not a ghost, then what is it? That is the important point."

"I knew you didn't believe it." Minato rubbed Kakashi's head, "Well, if I had known that this was the case, I would have gone to work earlier. But if you are still afraid at night, I can go watch it with you look."

"No need. Everyone said I overused the Sharingan," Kakashi emphasized for the third time.

"I won't confiscate your last set of lovemaking heaven." Minato laughed twice, ignoring Kakashi who wanted to explain something else, and went to the office with Raijin. He looked at his watch and saw that he was just 59 seconds away from starting work. , "Good morning, 016110."

Hokage Building, Hokage Office

sunny

"Good morning, sir." Itachi brought hot water.

"Did you give the answers to your old ghosts yesterday?"

"No, sir." Itachi said truthfully, "But I have already decided."

"Oh, really." The Hokage looked up and saw a young subordinate with a determined look on his face. He smiled, "He is the head of the ANBU field service."

"Yes, sir." Itachi took a deep breath and stood at attention, "Thank you for your love, sir."

"You were the ANBU squad leader before you became the guard captain. This position is actually more suitable." Minato took out a scroll, signed his name and handed it to Itachi, "Okay, now go report to the ANBU, there are people waiting for you over there. .”

"I will never live up to your expectations." Itachi saluted, but suddenly hesitated again, "But sir, I'm going to go to the office now."

"Don't worry, you are not the only guard captain I have."

"Yes, I'll go then." Itachi walked out of the door and half turned around.

"Go ahead, go ahead, I'll teach you how to fly Thunder God when I have time later." Minato waved his hand.

"Yes, sir." Itachi was not too excited.

"This time it's the truth."

Itachi actually still didn't quite believe it.

Minato looked at Itachi who was running away, drank some water, sighed, and picked up the phone, "Kabuto, get up and go to Hatake's old house to see Kakashi. He has an old injury."

Then he dialed another number, "No, Lu Jiu, I'm sorry, I'm not looking for you, Lu Jiu, I got the call. Ah, it's okay, it's okay, you're busy with your business."

Minato quickly hung up the phone, picked up the receiver again, and thought apologetically for a long time before remembering the phone code that he had not contacted for a long time, "005408, you are in Konoha now, right? Why don't you use the Flying Thunder God communicator and forget it. Anyway. , come to my office now, okay, five minutes."

5 minute later.

A slender middle-aged man wrapped in a large windbreaker appeared, "Sir Yondaime, it's rare that you asked me to come over if you have something to do."

"Don't talk nonsense." Minato wanted to shave off his friend's mustache every time he saw him under his sunglasses, "Why didn't you go there on the day of Fugaku's funeral?"

"I'm not familiar with him." The visitor's voice was indifferent.

But Minato could still rely on a familiar tacit understanding to see the expression on the man's face - stop talking nonsense and get down to business, but, "I'm not talking nonsense. By the way, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"

"Why, Uchiha's evil spirit is causing trouble."

"No, it's Hatake Shigesaku. Kakashi said he saw him last night." The Hokage raised the corner of his mouth.

"Forehead."

"The point is, I've seen it too." The Hokage was serious.

""

"I know you don't believe it. There are souls in this world, otherwise there would be no need to invent the forbidden technique of reincarnation. But ghosts are rare after all. If there were ghosts, I don't know how many people like us would have been killed. I haven't seen it a long time ago." Minato said while observing the person in front of him, but that person was always calm and calm, "Okay, okay, I won't hide it from you, everyone said that since Qinai's death, My mental state is not very good sometimes. I admit this, I sometimes receive some medication, and it is normal to see some hallucinations. If you insist that I am wrong, I will admit it, but Kakashi is not right .”

""

"Kakashi got very healthy scores in the evaluation test conducted by the psychotherapy team."

The man was silent for a while and then uttered a few words, "The point is, what do you want me to do?"

Minato smiled, "Please go to the place where Kakashi saw White Fang and investigate. Kakashi has sealed it, and it only contains the coordinates of his own Flying Thunder God."

"Okay." The man with a mustache and black sunglasses nodded.

"That's more." Minato agreed, a little apologetically, "Because it's a private commission, the task fee is charged."

"Invite me to dinner later."

"I thought you would ask me to help you take care of your children and even your family."

"The son of our Aburame family does not need any special care."

Special things like this are never rare

Konoha 61

It seems to be getting darker and earlier
