Lunch break

"You can't eat when you're in a hurry." The person who stopped mid-sentence was Aburame Zhiwei, who was still hungry.He finished delivering the results of the morning's work to the Hokage, and was just about to put down the receipt and go to the cafeteria to eat fried noodles when he was stopped by the Hokage. The Captain of the Hokage's day shift guard is really not a human being. Not only does he run like a delivery dog, but he also has to work all day long, including overtime. Time Naruto was sitting and he was standing, Naruto was eating and he was watching

"So as you can see, my bad habit of not being able to eat when I'm in a hurry has been corrected." Our Hokage put down the spoon and went straight to the bowl to drink the soup. The soup was cabbage ball soup. "There is still one meatball left. You Would you like to try my son's craftsmanship? He is really becoming more and more like his mother."

"No, thank you." Aburame Shi slightly smelled the aroma of hot rice and dishes and felt even hungrier, but he could only stand at attention, blessing in his heart that he had trained his son's cooking skills so well. Hum, wait for Naruto Don't cry when you cry and shout that you want to get married.

But our Hokage couldn't hear it. He chewed the last meatball and rested his chin on his hand. "I've finished eating. Let's talk about what new discoveries you made today."

"No." Zhiwei shook his head and complained in his heart with a cold face, Boss, boss, Boss Minato, are you bothered by having three meals a day?

"But it's been a week, Zhiwei."

"It's only been less than 7 days."

"But the last time you checked Orochimaru's lairs far away from home, it only took a month. When the old king was critically ill, you drew me a map of the relationship between the major forces in the capital and used it. Three days, and the last time I asked you to check on Danzo, you sold him out in one night." Minato knocked on the bowl, "Seven days were just to check the people around me, there are not many people. Bar."

"Not enough." Zhiwei said firmly, never showing the slightest hesitation in the face of his questioning boss.

"Then tell me how much longer you need."

"You can't rush this kind of thing. If you rush, it's easy to get unjust, false, and wrongly convicted." As soon as Zhiwei said the words, he felt a cold sweat on his back. He was locked by Namikaze Minato's murderous intent, "Minato, control your anger. Yes, I said something that made you unhappy. You can be angry if you want, but you should also be a little self-aware when you are angry. Okay, move your qi and nourish your body. Don't always complain that everyone is becoming less and less communicative with you. You have already done it. You have been Hokage for 16 years, no matter how approachable you are, you still keep saying that you are Hokage. Think about that time when we went to meet the Third Generation, even the White Fang and the Sannin bowed on one knee honestly. You don't want your brothers to kneel down to you, but the Third Generation didn't do that back then. I didn’t tell everyone to kneel down.”

""

Zhiwei looked at the silent Minato, feeling the temperature on his back rise and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Calm down, you almost killed me just now."

"It's just a little bit of murderous intent." Minato turned around and pinched his face while looking at the window glass, "It's true that the older you get, the less courageous you become."

That’s why I have lived so long so that I can go out without any old wounds or enemies.Zhiwei sighed secretly, "Shuimen, the people outside killed 3000 by mistake and succeeded without letting any of them escape. But the boys around you are all good boys. Besides, no news is good news. No one seems to be the same after checking. , doesn’t it prove that it’s probably not an insider, but an outsider? After all, Konoha’s security system”

"I hope." Minato sat up straight and narrowed his eyes, "Anyway, hurry up. If Fugaku is killed this time, it might be me next time."

"No, no matter he is an internal thief or an external thief, he is always a coward." Zhiwei was really worried about Minato's personal safety, "Otherwise, if I hugged you to the death and stabbed you, grass would have grown on your grave long ago."

"It's like I can't avoid it."

"You look like you are sleepy after working overtime all day long." Zhiwei raised his mustache, "There have been times when you were slow to react."

"I volunteered my life to lure the snake out of its hole." Minato packed the lunch box, "I have caught assassins a lot in the past few years. Do you think I hit the assassins too hard at that time, so that they lost confidence in using physical methods to kill me? , I have seen these little secret tricks over the years."

"This little trick has made you miserable." When Zhiwei heard Minato's harsh words, he knew that this was what he was thinking, so he refused decisively, "Don't think about using your body as bait to lure the snake out of its hole again, it's impossible."

"Then what do you do? The enemy is hidden and we are clear. If I let you be my guard captain for one year, the whole world will know that I asked you to spy on my own people." Minato sighed, "What will happen then? Should I resign myself or kill you? Everyone vents their anger”

"You can refuse to admit it, or I can commit suicide." Zhiwei got closer to Minato and became more serious.

"You don't care if you commit suicide and become the second Kakashi, I don't want my son to become the second Kai." Minato sighed again, "Give you another week, otherwise I will be a target every day I live."

"Minato" Aburame Shiwei felt Minato Namikaze's emotional fluctuations at close range again, and suddenly realized that his friend's nerves that had been tense for many years might be more fragile than he showed.

"Go and eat and then continue working." Minato put away his lunch box, poured himself a glass of water and sat back at his desk, "Go back quickly, my goal is to get off work on time tonight. In the evening, Naruto said he wanted to try making green onion pancakes. That one just now It tastes best right out of the pan.”

“So you must have fresh onions”

The time is 4:[-] pm

Konoha vegetable market

Uzumaki Naruto danced and gestured to the vegetable seller, "All your onions are dry."

"Why are you talking like a kid?" The auntie who bought vegetables was rude to the young master from the Hokage family who always came to the market. "You don't even look at the time. It's already afternoon now. If I leave you here to bask in the sun from morning to night, you won't be able to do it." Want to wilt.”

"I won't let it wilt." Naruto continued to pick and pick, "The recipe says that stale green onions taste like firewood."

"Oh, the young man actually read the recipe." There were not many people in the vegetable market before work, so the aunt was willing to say a few more words, "I believe in your aunt's cooking skills. All onions are equally important in scallion pancakes. It's not the onions, it's the noodles." ah."

"No, it's green onions." Naruto quickly took out the old pink cookbook in his arms, opened it and showed it to his aunt.

Now not only the aunt was happy, but also the other vegetable vendors, fishmongers and butchers nearby.Because they could clearly see the words "A must-have for brides to cook" with red hearts on the pink cover.

"Hahaha, hahaha."

"Hey, what's so funny?"

"Hahaha, hahaha."

"I said stop laughing," Naruto knew that it was weird for a grown man to cook with the bride's cookbook every day. Naruto also wanted to say loudly to them that my mother learned to cook little by little by reading this cookbook. , she was not my father’s bride at that time.But in the end, Naruto didn't say anything. He didn't like being laughed at, and he didn't like being looked at with "that" look.

However, Sasuke, who had been waiting for Naruto to buy green onions, didn't want his teammates to be laughed at all the time. He turned coldly and said, "Are you still selling green onions?"

Cold field.

Sasuke was in a daze when he saw Naruto holding a pink menu and being told by his aunt, "Do you still want to buy onions?"

"Ah ah ah, if you want to buy something, it's better to have green onions." Naruto quickly opened the frog wallet and took the green onions in one hand and paid the money in the other.

"Can you go to the mission hall to hand in the mission now?" Sasuke turned and left.

"Okay." Naruto carried a plastic bag full of various vegetables and quickly caught up, "Um, thank you, Sasuke. Aunts are really too enthusiastic sometimes."

"Humph."

"Hey, shouldn't you say you're welcome?"

"What does it have to do with you?

So easy to say. "Sasuke was actually very apologetic. He didn't mean to be rude, but he didn't know why the voice came out of his nostrils just now. "But do you really have to go to the mission hall to queue up with so many dishes? It's too ugly. "

"I would like to send it back first, but I don't know how to fly Thunder God, and the mission hall and Hatake Residence are not convenient." Ming scratched his head, "But after handing in the mission, there will only be leftovers to buy groceries, and the green onions will become even more wilted. Right."

The point is not the green onion, right? Thinking about the green onion pancake with your cerebellum, the focus is all on the pancake. Sasuke really wanted to complain and be funny as usual, but he found that he just couldn't open his mouth to tell jokes.

"Why aren't you talking?" Naruto, who was waiting for Sasuke to laugh at him as usual, suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Sasuke looked around calmly, "To give you a constructive suggestion, you can ask others to send it back for you first."

"Did you say call Kakashi to come to the rescue?" Naruto rolled his eyes and found that it was indeed a good idea. Anyway, he was running around Konoha every day.

"No, I mean, the ANBU following you."

""Naruto wanted to tell Sasuke that he didn't have any ANBU, but thanks to the pets that often ran away from home, he was much smarter now than when he was a child. He could no longer cover his ears, "But how to call them out? Shout loudly on the road?"

Maybe it would be more convenient for me to just kick the sole of my shoe in your face.Sasuke controlled his feet that were about to move, remembering when he and Naruto were young.Sometimes we would get into a fight on the way home from school for no apparent reason. No matter who started the fight in the end, the fight would end up in the ground.At this time, those black strange masks will jump out from all directions and pull them away.Naruto would be sent to the Hokage's office, and the always good-tempered Uncle Hokage would comfort his son with delicious food and drinks; while he would be sent home, waiting for his cold-faced father to slap him.

"Why don't you speak again?"

Sasuke looked at Naruto, who looked even more stupid after dragging a plastic bag, and sighed. He didn't know what kind of father that boy would become when he grew up. He was probably the doting type of Uncle Hokage.

"Sasuke, what are you thinking about?" Naruto kicked away the stones at his feet, "I can see from your eyes that you are thinking of bad ideas."

"You're overthinking." Sasuke saw the Hokage Tower from a distance, "I ran over and wondered if I could get a little closer to the front."

"Then run over and take a look." Naruto knocked on his shoes and then disappeared.

Sasuke was embarrassed and hurried to follow, but, "Why didn't Mr. Yamato wait here today?"

"You ask me who I'm asking." Naruto looked at his watch with an unhappy expression, "If it's too late, I won't have time to go home and cook."

"Then let's eat in the cafeteria." Sasuke crossed his hands and leaned against the wall.

"But my dad said he would go home for dinner tonight." Naruto's face became even more disappointed, "Sasuke, I want to eat green onion pancakes with my dad."

"Don't even think about it, I still want to go home on time for dinner." Sasuke knew what Naruto wanted to do as soon as he saw his face.

"But." Naruto pouted, "Tomorrow is the day of silence. It's not too lively to celebrate birthdays on the day of silence."

Sasuke didn't answer.

"If you don't object, you agree." Naruto dug into his pocket, quickly stuffed a handful of something into Sasuke, and then disappeared.

Sasuke sighed deeply, "I really owe you in my previous life."

The sun sets and the moon rises, time flies by

Uchiha main house

Small Restaurant

"Da da da." The clock finally pointed to 8 o'clock in the evening.

Uchiha Mikoto opened the hollow embroidered white curtains, turned on all the lights in the restaurant, and continued to sit at the dining table knitting a sweater.As her hands moved, the ball of wool in the basket at her feet also moved.

"Maybe we should get some cats." Mikoto took a sip of the hot Earl Gray tea and looked up at the extremely quiet restaurant.The polished stainless steel stove in the restaurant shines with cold light, and the cold light is reflected on many brand-new porcelains, like icicles under the window sill in winter, beautiful and dangerous.

Mikoto stood up and turned on the radio again, and the sound of storytelling came from the old-fashioned wooden box.It's a boring story about a wandering ninja saving the world - you can guess the beginning and ending even from half of the story. "Maybe I should go see a newly released movie tomorrow."

"Mom, what are you talking to yourself?"

Miqin turned around and smiled. The person who opened the door was his youngest son. There were black fingerprints on his face and his hands were covered with grease. "I was unlucky enough to receive a sewer mission today."

"No, it didn't rain yesterday." Sasuke squeezed out the dishwashing liquid and rubbed his hands vigorously. "Sorry, Mom, I came back late. Because Mr. Yamato was late, I waited in the mission hall for a long time, and then I met him on the way back. The chain of a tricycle carrying goods broke, so I helped the owner repair it."

"Hey, Sasuke actually has some talent for repairing. I remember that when you were a child, you loved to take apart clocks and play with them." Mikoto helped her son turn on the water heater, "My son is awesome."

"Mom, how many times have I told you that Naruto was the one who framed me?"

"You also need to clean under your fingernails." Mikoto handed her son a pot cloth, "But Sasuke can restore the watch to its original state every time, so we Sasuke are still the best."

"Mom" Sasuke always gets defeated by his mother's incomprehensible compliments.

"Have you had dinner?" Miqin smiled and dipped some hot water into her mouth, and wiped her son's slightly red face clean.

"I'm sorry, Mom, because the car broke down in the middle of the road, so moving the car was delayed." Sasuke really apologized, "I was really hungry, so I ate outside, and Naruto gave me a treat of Ichiraku Ramen. Guarantee, I will definitely come back to have dinner with my mother tomorrow."

"There's nothing to apologize for. Of course you have to eat quickly when you're hungry." Mikoto laughed and patted Sasuke's shoulder, which was already at the same level as him. "But remember to ask someone to come back next time to tell you."

"Well." Sasuke washed his hands and took the towel from his mother, "Brother, didn't you come back for dinner today?"

"No, tomorrow isn't a day of silence." Mikoto shrugged, "Many people have come back. It's rare for your brother and his friends to be together, and he just took office, so he went to a party. But the party came from your elder brother's mouth Speaking of which, it is indeed different to be a leader. He actually learned how to socialize without any teacher. Really, when my mother thought about him calling back and saying that he wanted to go out to socialize with his subordinates, she almost laughed like crazy just thinking about it. Okay. Sasuke, think about it, your eldest brother is holding a microphone and eating popcorn at KTV. I really want to take pictures and burn them for your father to see."

Sasuke glanced at the portrait of his father tied with black gauze on the cupboard. He understood his mother's bad taste very well, and he was filial and supportive, "Mom, don't worry, I will go with my brother next time when I have a chance to take the photo."

Mikoto blinked, hugged Sasuke tightly, and quickly kissed him on the face, "What a good son, go and take a bath. Mom has boiled the water for you."

"Yes." Sasuke looked at his mother who was sitting back in the chair. After thinking about it, he only replied with four words, "Thank you, mother."

"You're so polite to mom." Mikoto waved her back to her son, "Just call me when you rub your back."

But Sasuke's reply to Mikoto this time was a silent rejection.

"Okay, it's normal for children to be shy when taking a bath with their mother when they are older." Mikoto smiled and continued knitting.Although it was still early in the winter, her two ninja sons didn't seem to need to wear sweaters, but she still had an eldest son waiting for her. And Mikoto had a hunch that she might wait for Itachi like this more often in the future. Just like the dead husband who was waiting for him back then.Really boring.But this is the life of Uchiha Mikoto, and it is the same as the wives of all ninjas in Konoha. "Perhaps it would be good to have two beautiful daughters-in-law by my side in the future."
