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

Konoha late October 61

Fire Country Konoha

Not long after Kato Suzune went to work, she received an "urgent mission" scroll from the Hokage's office wearing a black cat mask. The scroll said, please finish the work at hand within 20 minutes, wear a jounin uniform, and go to the torture unit. It is prohibited to carry any weapons and equipment when reporting to the station.

What the hell is this mission? It has a specified time and a specified place. The next step is to explain the regulations, right?

Shizune thought of the whispers in the nooks and crannies of Konoha's ANBU in the past few days and the sudden increase in "urgent missions", and she became a little scared.Teacher Tsunade-hime solemnly warned her many times when she left her in Konoha:

Although the Hokage personally sent the message to keep you, you are also a native of Konoha, but which Hokage is not suspicious, and which family of renegade Ninja is not a native of Konoha.Besides, since you were young, you have traveled all over the country like me, a guy who never says goodbye and doesn't obey orders. No one can guarantee who you have met and what kind of influence you have been under during the more than ten years you have been outside. .For Konoha, the unknown is dangerous.So if you want to stay in Konoha, you have to be prepared to be ignored or suspected without reason - don't ask why. Moreover, even if you really suffer any unfair treatment, even if you are unjustly executed, your teacher, I , and it’s impossible to do anything to help you.

First, there is no fairness in this world.Konoha still gives me face now just because the third generation teacher is still alive, and Konoha is still useful to me.Second, after all, I left on my own initiative back then. I really can’t guarantee whether I can pass the “loyalty test”.Three, even if I return to Konoha for you, as long as Konoha bites you to death and you are a traitor, what can I do for you?

Yes, then can you not stay?

When a prestigious current Hokage tells you, who is unknown, that Konoha needs you now and please stay, what is the difference between your not staying and being "disloyal".

So Kato Shizune stayed.As a medical ninja who had just returned from his apprenticeship with his teacher.She did not rush into an important field emergency unit or research institute, but was temporarily assigned to the general outpatient clinic of Konoha Hospital.Of course, in addition to dealing with bruises and headaches and fever every day, she also had ANBU missions.Yes, Kato Shizune became a glorious Hokage ANBU.The main task is to monitor colleagues in the same department. He was once a subordinate of Zabuza, the rebel ninja of the Kirin, and now Haku Kamanazuki.The secondary mission is, "If you can get close to Yakushi Kabuto, take the opportunity to see if that kid has done anything outrageous."

Shizune once thought that since she received the task of monitoring others, she had safely passed the routine "inspection period", but now that she thought about it, she was still too naive and might not have predicted that the tasks of her surveillance targets, Shiro Yin-nin or Yakushi Kabuto, were still surveillance. As for her.

"It's really annoying." Kato Shizune had already returned to the dormitory and changed into her uniform. She took off all the weapons on her body, even the scalpel that was close to her body. Then she looked at her watch and the scroll on the table. She really felt like she might as well just run away. The urge to go to the teacher, anyway, the teacher had secretly told her about the loopholes in Konoha's security system.

But being impulsive is impulsive. Could it be that they really went to be rebels because they felt a little wronged? Shizune had seen many such pitiful rebels outside the village. Maybe they didn't really want to rebel, they were just young people with hot blood, or they didn't want to rebel for a while. When you are angry, you do something wrong, or when you speak up and speak out, you say the wrong thing.But this time the Hokage left the village, leaving behind almost all the ANBU, and also left behind Shimi Aburame, a field senior in Konoha who rarely appeared.This is clearly a traitor's rhythm - I hope someone didn't frame her deliberately when she was called to the torture department.Well, there are quite a few people who have been framed by true traitors and become traitorous ninjas.

Kato Shizune covered the little pink lazy pig lying on the bed and snored with a small floral quilt, closed the window and door, and started walking to the designated place.She found that she was under strict surveillance.This made her even more nervous.Although with her status, she should not be really tortured.But in fact, she was more afraid of a simple lie detector test than torture, because she couldn't guarantee what she would say.

Ground floor of the Fire Country Hokage Building

Anbu headquarters

trial room

"Name."

"Shizune Kato."

"gender"

"Female."

"Would you do anything detrimental to Konoha?"

"I do not know."

"Would you do anything detrimental to the Yondaime-sama?"

"I do not know."

"Oh, okay, you can leave after signing."

Kato Shizune, who was at the moment when the confessional potion was at its strongest, looked up dizzy and glanced at the cat-faced Anbu in front of her, thinking that she had heard wrong - it was child's play to ask just three sentences without asking more than a few times. , is this a loyalty test, is it a good way to detect traitors or spies?If a genjutsu ninja doesn't arrange some experiments for her on whether the mission is more important or life is more important, it's enough to at least put on a show and see how she performs. Sure enough, the Yondaime-sama didn't lie, Konoha really needs her. At least it can raise the average IQ of ANBU people.

"Come and sign." But the cat-faced ANBU didn't realize that he had a low IQ. He handed the piece of paper with only two lines written on it to Shizune.

Kato Shizune decisively signed her name with a pen, then got a large glass of honey water with a lot of ice, and was kicked out of the interrogation room.

Standing outside the interrogation room was the legendary Morino Hiki, with brown skin, a wide chin, and big ugly scars on his face.

"Drink. If you don't drink it, it will take a long time for the confession to be metabolized by itself." Ibiki Mori knew Kato Shizune. When he was a student at the ninja school, this senior had already become a genin and followed Tsunade-senpai to the battlefield. She went to rescue the wounded, and he even handed her gauze at that time.

But Shizune Kato had little impression of what others called a sadist. As a medical ninja, she certainly knew the consequences of drinking this cup of honey water - abdominal cramps, then diarrhea, "Sorry, It’s not convenient for me to drink something cold today.”

Mori Nai Yibixi sniffed the unusual smell of blood in the air, "Is this the letter from Laiyue?"

"Yes." Shizune, whose confessional agent was still in effect, couldn't help but answer.Forget it, she is a medical ninja, and even her genitals are just organs to her, so just trust her.But it was really embarrassing for the obviously mentally disturbed torture captain to continue, "If you have anything else you want to ask, just ask. If you don't want to ask me, I'll go back to the dormitory. Don't delay me in feeding my piglets. My piglets are the worst." I can eat and roll around."

"It turns out that Shizune-senpai is so interesting at heart." Ibiki began to speak after listening to Shizune's sudden silence.

Shizune, who couldn't help but express her girl's heart, blushed and couldn't control her fists. "You must know that I am a disciple of Senju Tsunade-sama."

Ibiki nodded seriously. When he was a child, he was really lucky enough to see how Tsunade-sama beat Jiraiya-sama.Therefore, Kato Shizune quickly got a glass of warm boiled water.

So, with the sound of her "嘤嘤嘤" auxiliary still echoing in her ears, she quickly poured water down her throat. She decided that she would never speak again until the effect of the medicine wore off, but the confessional agent was the kind that made people endure it. He couldn't help showing his truest side, "Thank you, Morino-senpai."

"You're welcome." Ibiki poured another glass of warm water, and then politely sent Kato Shizune out. He wanted to tell Shizune, please don't call him senior, and that the test started from the moment she received the scroll. And there were two Hokage guard captains waiting for her outside.But he couldn't and wouldn't say, "Anko Mitarashi, have you finished sorting out the report?"

"Why are you so anxious?" A cat-faced ANBU appeared in the interrogation room and took a picture of a folder. "It's rare to see you be so kind to others. Why, you just have a crush on this woman. She was the one you kids were like when you were still in school. The object of discussion among boys. She wouldn’t be afraid if she could be bandaged for serious injuries, right? Zizi.”

Ibixi flipped through the information and ignored Anko.

But Hongdou was a little reluctant, "Oh, back then, for Orochimaru, you not only gave me a confessional but also hypnotized me. You asked me in one sentence for several years and you still thought there was something wrong with me. As a result, she lost contact like this."

You asked me to ask you these few questions about an old woman who is many years old. She is a medical nin, and she should be very good at resisting a little confessional agent. "

"But she didn't." Yibixi closed the folder, sealed it and signed it.

"Humph."

"Humph."

capital of fire country

King's Mansion

Hokage villa

"Hum hum."

"huh huh huh huh."

This moan, which was getting longer than the previous one, came from Uzumaki Naruto and Rock Lee.The morning is not the time for these two to be on guard duty.So after sweeping the floor and washing the dishes, the two of them grew bored in the sun.

The courtyard of the Hokage's villa is actually not too small. There is a small pond with rare varieties of water lilies floating on it. The flowers and grass pots on the edge of the pond don't look cheap.So it's really small for a ninja.Although the Hokage said several times not to care about it, several genin were still unwilling. Yes, Neji and Sasuke said it was called "wasting natural resources".

So Rock Lee, who loved playing side kicks the most, and Naruto, who loved treading water, could only compete in push-ups, but they managed to do them all in one morning.

"Do you two have to keep humming like this?" This was when Sakura finally couldn't bear the howling of the boy who was in the stage of changing his voice, and covered her ears.It was her rest time now, but she still couldn't relax mentally.Originally, she felt relaxed when she found out that the thick chef was a retired jounin from the cafeteria.But a few days later, when the uncle cook discovered a piece of poisonous rock candy disguised as rock candy, it was not brought by Konoha but bought by the Hokage himself on the street. Our Hokage had actually been assassinated once.More importantly, the cook uncle said that since that incident, it was normal for Hokage to be assassinated in the capital. In the early days, ANBU could catch several waves a day.

What was that? Sakura didn't dare to ask, but she finally figured out why the Hokage took them fishing to eat when their team came to Japan to celebrate the New Year that year, and kept saying, "Do you remember the poison identification class?"

As the rumors say, the Yondaime-sama never does anything meaningless.

However, the young master of the Hokage family.

Sakura looked at Naruto who was crawling on the ground with Rock Lee, sighed deeply, and finally stepped on him one by one on the back.

"It hurts."

"Ah, the skirt of youth."

"Naruto, the ghost under the skirt, you are not allowed to show Little Lee the kiss in the paradise. Although it is also a book written by Jiraiya-sama, you only need to read the Den of Perseverance, okay, okay," Sakura emphasized. Naruto was crushed behind him, then he retracted his foot and reluctantly turned into the kitchen.It seemed that when she wasn't resting with Sasuke, it would be better for her to spend more time with her seniors in the Konoha cafeteria.Although the senior is very verbose, it is better to listen to the stories of the past than to listen to the wails and strange words.

Naruto and Locke Lee, who were still there, saw that Sakura was really angry and were in no mood to make trouble anymore.Rock Lee really couldn't understand. It was clear that Kissing in Heaven was so youthful and exciting, but girls didn't really like it. So he decided to do another 20000 sit-ups. He felt that every time he finished reading that This book is extremely powerful.

Naruto, on the other hand, continued to lie on the ground and pretended to be dead.

The stone floor was already very cold in late October, but Naruto didn't feel that cold.Unlike Kakashi who always gets cold all year round, or his father who easily gets cold hands and feet when the weather gets cold, Uzumaki Naruto always seems to be warm, as if there is a big boiler with a lot of briquettes burning in his belly.He wasn't tired either.Unlike Kakashi who always takes a break and his father who takes a nap whenever he has free time, Uzumaki Naruto rarely feels tired.He is always energetic.

Gaara said that it was because he was a Jinchuuriki, a Kyuubi.Although his father seemed to just want to put the Kyuubi inside his son's body to seal it like a pickle, without thinking about how to use it.But pickles also have an impact on pickle jars.

It should be a good influence.

Naruto had been studying this issue ever since he found out he was a jinchuriki.The conclusion is that nothing bad happens.But why does the father always look sorry for his son? Naruto thought about it, the most likely reason is because he has been complaining about the ugly beards around his mouth since he was a child.So it really has been a long time since Naruto complained about his beard.Naruto didn't even mention it anymore, just like he never asked his father why he chose him to be the jinchuriki.

In short, we looked so bored, as if the young Master Naruto had been tempted to do whatever he thought of, and he just jumped up and walked to his father's bedroom - he felt that he seemed to miss his father a little, and his Dad seemed to be even busier in Kokuto than in Konoha. He had been busy for several days and didn't see many people.But the next second, he stopped.This is not his home, but a mission station. He is a genin, not the young master of the Hokage family. "Besides, dad is not here now."

However, in the jounin dormitory separated by only one wall, we originally did not intend for the genin to see Namikaze Minato, who was in such a distressed state as the ANBU. He did call Naruto just now. In fact, he called everyone in the courtyard.But the soundproof array he drew by himself worked so well that no one heard the Hokage's call except for his good son who was heart to heart.But it doesn't matter. Facts have proved that even if he is alone, he can deal with Kakashi, it just takes a little more effort.

Namikaze Minato wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, looked at Kakashi who was tied up into a white snake again, and clapped his hands.

He had eaten well and continued to catch up on his sleep, but he didn't expect that Kakashi would suddenly have another attack, even though the medicine had not worn off yet.

At that time, Minato felt that something was wrong. This time, Kakashi's problem might not be what Kakashi said himself. He had exercised too much all of a sudden.In the past, Kakashi often overtrained when he used exercise methods to increase physical strength, and his Sharingan also had violent attacks, but Minato had never seen it continue to attack during rest.

Finally, Minato couldn't help but took out the Flying Thunder God communicator. He began to worry a little, "Tsunade-sama, call Tsunade-sama."

"No time." There were only these two words on the communicator and the call was hung up.

Minato had no choice but to call again, get hung up on again, and then call again.

"Minato Namikaze, I shouldn't have used this crappy communicator you gave me back then."

Minato listened to Senju Tsunade's still energetic scolding, but felt inexplicably at ease.In fact, in terms of ability, Kabuto Yakushi, who has been studying, is already better than Tsunade, who has barely improved in 20 years.In terms of experience, there is no shortage of Shizune who has been treating difficult and complicated diseases for rebel ninjas.But when something happened, Minato found that he still wanted to hear this senior's opinion.

"You're just talking. Don't think that just because you're Hokage means you're a big deal."

Minato listened to the voice over there. It was not a casino, so he told her about Kakashi's situation without any courtesy.

"But what's the use of telling me this." Tsunade said in sign language.

Minato held the communicator and didn't know what to say, "Maybe it's because you always have a way, Tsunade-senpai."

"I have warned you long ago that there are limits to human efforts."

""

"I already told you that it's not his. No matter how much you take care of it, it's not his. Peach trees can be grafted onto plum trees because they are the same species, but you can't graft a rabbit onto a peach tree."

Tsunade hung up again, but Minato didn't call back this time.

He put away the communicator, changed Kakashi's gauze, and gave him an injection just like he did in the morning.Then he looked at the eyes in Kakashi's eyes that belonged to another of his disciples, Uchiha Obito.The round eyes were just like when they appeared on Obito's face.

"It's actually not a difficult choice, right Kakashi." Minato touched Kakashi's forehead, trying to smooth his disciple's brows twisted in pain.

The choice is not difficult, but the result is often difficult

It will be November soon.
