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

However, Sakura, who was responsible for food safety, would never let Naruto use the kitchen, so several days passed, and Naruto failed to show off his cooking skills.

Hokage villa

Dinner

"You really want to eat braised short ribs and let the chef cook them for you." Sasuke held the rice bowl and sat on the bench next to the wall in the corridor outside the kitchen.

"Hehe, we Naruto don't want to eat it ourselves, others are preparing it." Sakura sat on the right side of Sasuke, also holding a bowl, "Yeah."

"What are you talking about?" Naruto wanted to blurt out and turned left in the constipation toilet, but he looked at Xiao Li, Neji and Tenten on the opposite noodle bench who were also holding bowls and eating.Xiao Li has not been particular about it since he was a child, and Tian Tian has always been cheerful and good-tempered, but Neji is hard to judge.If he were in the Konoha cafeteria, he could take the opportunity to test that guy's current temperament, but after all, he was on someone else's territory now.

But Naruto never knew how to hide his thoughts. Of course Neji could also feel the gaze of the young Hokage master, "If you have something to say, don't stare at me like that."

"Oh oh oh, I'm sorry." Naruto's polite words were very smooth. He looked at Neji's long hair casually hanging behind his back and really wanted to pull it, but, "Ningji, there's a particle under your eye. rice."

"Oh." Although Sasuke and Naruto were inseparable little ones, Neji thought that he had watched Naruto go from kindergarten to ninja school. Who knew that his Miss Hinata and that one were classmates, and they were classmates. I have a bit of a crush.

"Just let the rice grains grow on your face." Naruto looked at Neji's actually smooth face, feeling a little depressed.Life in the capital is so boring.Dad didn't take these two teams of genin out to work.Therefore, he could only sweep the floor in the yard and watch others stand guard during the day, and sleep in the house at night listening to Xiao Li's snoring.He hadn't left this courtyard, which was not much bigger than Namikaze's house, for several days.

"Well, it will fall by itself sooner or later." Neji is actually very boring, but having some fun doesn't mean playing more boring, childish, prank games with Naruto, but he still looks like he wants to do something Naruto, thinking about his observations over the years, decisively decided to divert the disaster to the east.But when someone was led to see Sakura, the girl kept looking at Sasuke and Tenten, who seemed to be shaking her head.Well, his dad told him since he was a kid to be nicer to girls.Then only Sasuke and Xiao Li were left eating. Xiao Li is a teammate. His father has always emphasized that teammates are like brothers, so no matter how stupid he is, he can't sell it. "Sasuke, I just saw that there seems to be an extra chicken in your bowl." wing."

"Ehehehehe." Naruto's attention was diverted as expected.

But Sasuke really didn't want to play with Naruto, "Neji-senpai, you are wrong."

"I don't. Our Hinata family have good eyesight." Neji didn't want to let Sasuke go.They are both young masters from the big Konoha family. Although he is a young master from a separate family, his treatment cannot be so different.Of course, this is not a matter of eating less meat, but, girls, girls.He just saw Sakura giving Sasuke an extra chicken wing when serving rice. There weren't many Konoha kunoichi in the first place. What's so good about Sasuke? How come there are girls looking at him wherever he goes?

"No, you're wrong." Sasuke could only emphasize again. Anyway, the chicken wings had already entered his stomach. "And isn't it our Uchiha family that really has good eyesight? Otherwise, you Hinata wouldn't all go to the logistics department." department."

So Hinata Neji, who originally just wanted to make a joke, felt even more uncomfortable. His uncle, father, and uncle were all logistics personnel, but what the logistics did was to build a new Hokage Building, help the combat troops arrange food, clothing, housing, transportation, and provide medicine. This job obviously means being trusted by all of Konoha, isn't it? Does it have to be like the Uchiha family, where the head of the family died just after his father died, "I won't care about you."

Sasuke felt uncomfortable when he heard it. He did say something wrong just now.But good guys, everyone is the same genin. You are two years older and you are called senpai and you are still gasping for breath. It is obvious that you are the first to cause trouble.But after all, Sasuke is no longer a child. His eldest brother is not married yet and has children, so he is the first heir of the Uchiha family. It is better for him to cause less trouble for the family.So Sasuke simply glared at the culprit and said, "Naruto, eat your food well."

"Yes, you are not allowed to talk while eating. It's disgusting if the rice particles are sprayed out." Sakura agreed.

"Naruto, if you want to chat, you can go back to the dormitory to rest after dinner and then chat." Tiantian smiled, "We don't have to be on duty at night."

"youth"

"You should also eat your food well." This was the genin interrupting Locke Lee in unison.

"Oh." Xiao Li blinked under a circle of gazes and continued to eat.

Naruto had no choice but to put his thoughts away.And his instinct told him that he should try not to play pranks and joke with everyone in the future.Otherwise the consequences could be serious.This made Naruto very disappointed.Obviously just a while ago, everyone was still chasing each other, fighting, laughing and noisy, but why can't they even quarrel now? Growing up is really boring.

And within a wall

master bedroom living room

Only Kakashi and Metkai

Kakashi was also eating with a bowl, which was exactly the same as Naruto's bowl, rice, chicken legs, vegetables, typical cafeteria taste, "Why do retired ninjas in Konoha like to work as cooks in the cafeteria so much."

Kai, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, didn't answer, but filled up another bowl of rice, a big one.

"You still have a good appetite." Kakashi sighed and put the extra chicken wings at the bottom of the bowl into Kai's bowl, "I'll give you extra food."

"Youth is appetite." Kai nibbled on Kakashi's chicken wings unceremoniously. He knew that Kakashi was always the object of pampering wherever he went, from childhood to adulthood.In the battlefield, the uncles and eldest sisters in the logistics department would secretly give him rice balls with meat fillings.Now that there is peace, the cafeteria chefs should give him more chicken wings. Uncle Shigesaku Hatake has really left a good legacy for his son. There are people everywhere in Konoha who have been cared for by Konoha White Fang or who respect him, including Metkai. , and his father, "Okay, I'm full, Kakashi, you continue."

"Why are you going?" Kakashi was still eating half-deadly.

"Run two laps and then go to bed." Kai revealed his big white teeth and the vegetable leaves on his teeth. "Didn't we agree that I will be on duty in the middle of the night today?"

"Let me stay the rest of the night, I think I will fall asleep in the first half of the night." Kakashi discussed, "I ran from the capital to Konoha and back to the capital today, but the teacher didn't let me use the Flying Thunder God. My feet were weak from sending documents back and forth.”

"You deserve it." Kai took out a thousand books and picked his teeth. "If I had taken out your broken eyes earlier, nothing would have happened. It's not like I didn't go back and forth to Konoha, the capital of the country, all day long. I ran back and forth during the day and night. Not as decadent as you."

"Don't think about competing with me at this time." Kakashi really felt that the hands holding the chopsticks were a little soft, "To be honest, it is not suitable to run at high speed while holding documents. There’s so much wind behind me when I’m running.”

"The question is why are you holding him?" Kai felt that Kakashi's head was broken due to the rejection of the Sharingan.

"I'm not as stupid as you." Kakashi looked at Kai and knew what he was thinking, "The encrypted files can't be put into the storage scroll at all. Don't ask me why, that's how the teacher encrypted the files."

"" Kai blinked, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Kakashi again. So what if he is the proud man of heaven?Kai, what you said is so weird.

"Anyway, I can't be on duty in the first half of the night. I need to rest." Kakashi had already started to act rogue.

"Are you afraid that the Yondaime-sama will see you in this rough state?" Kai decided to have some heartfelt words with his friend before the Hokage came back, "Kakashi, let him go by the past, no matter what Obito is still Rin. Obito gave you his eyes, and Rin performed surgery on you. They were all doing it so that you could live a better life, not to make you live and suffer."

"In a word, change or not." Kakashi had no interest in discussing history with Gai.

But Kai's eyes became sharper and sharper, and he stared at Kakashi, "Your facial expression tells me that your eyes are hurting now, and your head is hurting too. It hurts more than usual, and it hurts even through the mask." Can’t cover it up.”

"It's not that painful." Kakashi said this, but the fact was that he felt that he could no longer bear it. With the Sharingan as the center, the pain hit him like a wave after wave. His skull reached to his brain.Kakashi felt that he could no longer think, so he no longer tried to hide it, took out his cigarette case, put all the cigarettes into his mouth and chewed them.In an instant, his entire mouth, throat, and skull were numb.

"How long have you been like this?" Kai quickly sat down next to Kakashi.

"Don't you always feel pain when you are tired?" Kakashi, whose whole head was in a state of numbness, had to move his tongue vigorously to pronounce the words.

"No, I mean, the pain is so severe that you can't bear it." Kai frowned, and he was even a little scared. He found that Kakashi's nails on his thigh were bruised and he was sweating all over his body.

"I don't know. Isn't it always painful?" Kakashi felt that the numbness in his mouth had spread to his neck and shoulders, and his head became heavier and heavier.But Kakashi's sanity is still there after all, "Kai, listen to me, I have taken analgesics, please let me go back to the room to be alone for a while, I will be fine in a while."

"I can take you back to your room." Kai helped Kakashi up, arming himself with him like they usually do, "but I must report to the Yondaime-sama that he doesn't seem to know your true situation."

"Don't tell him." Kakashi felt that he was about to pass out. With Kai's support, he quickly took two more steps and vaguely saw his bed. "I'll be fine in a minute."

Gai helped Kakashi lie down and covered him with a quilt, and said no more.

"I said don't tell him yet, did you hear me?" Kakashi seemed to feel better after lying down, and he became serious, "Kai"

"I heard it." Metkai poured a glass of water for Kakashi and put it on the bedside table, then observed Kakashi carefully.The cold sweat on my forehead has stopped flowing, and my hands are no longer shaking. It is indeed getting better, so there shouldn't be any fatalities, right?

"Kay"

"Okay, you're the patient and you have the final say." Kai sighed, closed the door to the dormitory, returned to the small living room, and started to pack up the dishes and take them back to the kitchen to wash.After washing, I wiped the table and floor, washed my hands, and went to the back room to help the Hokage sort out new documents and information.Then from time to time, he would take a look at Kakashi, who was already sleeping soundly.

Until the Huhuhuoshaoyun disappeared and the sky was covered with stars.

9:45 p.m.

Naruto finally returned to his desk, "It's Gai, where's Kakashi."

"I switched shifts with him." Metkai did not dare to lie in front of the Hokage, and he could not lie, otherwise he would not find the Hokage's dinner uncomfortable, "Well, Kakashi is asleep."

"Haha, that kid must be very tired today." Our Hokage looked at the documents he just got back from Konoha on the desk and nodded happily, "Being tired proves that you have exercised well. Wait until Kakashi comes back. Now that I’m not tired anymore, my physical fitness will probably improve to the next level.”

"Yeah." Kai didn't know how to answer Naruto's words other than this word.

But Minato has never been a quiet little prince, "Has Kakashi eaten?"

"Eat." Kai said that half a bowl of rice can be considered eaten.

"That's good." Minato changed out of the formal clothes he had just attended the welcome meeting for the delegation from the Land of Water and put on a comfortable yukata, "It seems that Kakashi will have to eat extra food tomorrow to keep up with the nutrition."

"Yeah." Kai still had nothing to say, but he couldn't really say nothing, "Where's Yamato."

"He's eating leftovers in the kitchen." Minato stretched out and pulled out a stool and sat down, "I told him not to care about the land of water or the land of fire. If you have food, just eat it. That stupid boy is still Not even a bite of the banquet meal.”

"As a guard, that's discipline." Seeing that the Hokage was about to start working, Kai imitated Kakashi and helped the Hokage pour a cup of hot tea as usual, "Sir, do you want to work overtime today?"

"Uh-huh." Minato looked at the serious Metkai, always not used to it.Finally, he couldn't help but stood up and stretched out his hand, rubbing Kai's shiny watermelon head, "Why, are you still having trouble with me? Didn't I already explain it to you? I didn't mean to miss you, it's just that I'm really a little Busy, you have seen that I am really working overtime every day these days. I am not deliberately suppressing your promotion. I really haven’t decided who will be responsible for protecting the system. If the top doesn’t move, what will others do if you are touched.”

Yes, you are the Hokage, don't you care? Sir, why did you call me back alone so long in advance? Kai almost didn't hold his tongue and said so directly.But fortunately, the Hokage's hand made him pay more attention to his inner nervousness.He does not agree with many of the current Hokage's ideas and views, and does not like the golden flash of calculations, but Kai still remembers many beautiful and innocent past times.

"You are such an awkward child. Sometimes I think you are more difficult to deal with than Kakashi." Minato felt Gai's resistance with some regret and put down his hand with some disappointment.

"Sorry, my lord."

"You have become so fond of saying such things to me." Minato sighed deeply, "Our blue beast of Konoha is obviously a big boy who is sunny, cheerful and courageous."

Kai couldn't even say "um" this time.But our Hokage didn't say anything more, and really started working hard.Although this negotiation with the Kingdom of Water actually no longer requires him to keep an eye on it like he did with the Kingdom of Wind. Genma and the General Staff can handle most of Konoha's general daily work, but the Hokage needs to handle it personally. There seems to be less trouble.

and

"Sir, drink this."

Minato looked at the bowl of slimy and black medicinal soup in Kai's hand and felt a twinge of pain in his stomach.

"Kakashi told me that if you have to stay up late to work overtime, let me bring this over."

"Kai, I think I can go to sleep before midnight today." Minato tried to fool him.

But Kai's nature is stubborn. He poked the hot medicine under Minato's nose, "Kakashi said if you don't drink it, let me call Naruto."

"&a;#8943;&a;#8943;"

"&a;#8943;&a;#8943;"

Minato stewed it in one gulp.

There is actually no big difference between heart eyes and lotus root slices

At the end of October 61 in Konoha, the sky started to get cloudy.
