"Suck, suck, suck."

""

"Suck, suck, suck."

"Sir, give it."

Namikaze Minato put down the information in his hand, rolled his eyes at Shiranui Genma, raised his hips from the small sofa, took the toilet paper handed over by his subordinate, then covered his nose and sneezed hard.

Genma handed over the trash can again, but our Hokage still threw the nose tissue away from the bucket next to the desk.

It's just a pity that the paper seems to be too light, and it was not properly assembled into a shape and was not thrown in.

Genma sighed secretly, put the small trash can at Minato's feet, ran out to pick up the white snot paper, and frowned, "Sir, you seem to have a cold."

"Aqiu doesn't have a cold. My throat will hurt for two days before I catch a cold. Besides sneezing and runny nose, I don't have any discomfort like a cold. Besides, we just flew all the way to Thunder God and jumped back to the office. I wore a sand cloak. , and there was no wind at all.”

Then you are sniffing here, is it a pollen allergy? It will not be surprising for the first snow to fall in the next few days. After finishing his rant, Shiranui Genma poured a glass of water for the Hokage, wiped his hands with a towel, and touched his boss's neck.

Minato, who was blowing his nose, was startled by Genma, "I don't have a fever, and please take your dirty hands away from where you just picked up the snot paper."

But sir, that's your own snot, right?Genma saw that Naruto was still very energetic and felt relaxed.But in the end, he picked up the Flying Thunder God intercom and connected to Yakushi Kabuto, "Yakushi Jōnin, I am Shiranui Genma, Chief of Staff. Please come to the Hokage's office immediately."

The Hokage was very pleased to see that Genjian had the aura of a high-level leader when he spoke, but, "Why did you ask him to come over? He said he didn't have a cold. I think there are just more people scolding me recently, Aqiu."

"Yes, yes, you are very hateful." Genma sighed, and picked up the snot paper that Minato had not thrown into the trash can, then he held hot water in his left hand and an empty cup in his right hand, pouring it back and forth, " But the one you have offended the most recently is our little friend Naruto, would Naruto curse his father like this?"

"I must have cursed him in my heart. Think about it, I just left him in the capital without even saying hello." Minato took out another tissue and wiped the crystal liquid under his nose.

"However, you just saw the news from Yamato. The child was stunned for only a few seconds before jumping three feet high. After breakfast with his friends, he happily picked up his luggage and set off on the journey. He worked as a genin for two years before he could finally go out in the field normally. It seems more possible to hold his father and give him a kiss." Genma estimated that the water in his hand was enough to drink, and quickly brought it to Minato, "Here, let's drink some heat first. Water never hurts.”

Minato drank the water in one gulp, and his nose felt much better as expected. He pointed to the drawer to Genma, "It's better to take some medicine just in case. You can't talk with a snot in your nose during a meeting."

But Xuanjian, who was always obedient, did not move and continued to pour boiling water from his left hand to his right hand.

"Hmph." Minato could only sigh. Even Kogenma didn't listen to him anymore. He stood up and rummaged through the drawer by himself, "Hey, there's cold medicine in my drawer."

"Acting Guard Captain Aburame-senpai said that commonly used medicines should not be kept in offices where many people can come in." Genma handed another glass of water, "Sir, wait for Kabuto to come."

Minato drank another gulp and suddenly felt warm all over, "My nose doesn't seem to be flowing anymore, Qiu."

Genjian consciously handed over the tissue again, "In your hand."

Minato wiped the hand he had just covered his nose with and rolled his eyes at Genma.

Xuanjian knew that the name of that look was talkative.All right.He was an obedient boy from the Hokage family, he didn't talk much, he only took action. So he quickly went out to the outside, opened the door of the office, and let in the pharmacist Kabuto.

Kabuto smiled and pushed up his reflective glasses, squatted in front of the sucker on the sofa, then opened his mouth and yawned loudly, "Sir, let me see your throat."

Minato finished opening his mouth and quickly wiped his nose, "You worked overtime again last night."

"Yeah." Kabuto Yakushi held down the Hokage's wrist and pinched his watch.The time now is damn 7:5 in the morning, and he just finished the experiment at 6:7 today, and he just took a shower and went to bed at [-] o'clock. But why did he dare to be cold-faced to the golden flash, so he could only He continued to smile and said, "Sir, are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?"

"No, it may be an allergy somewhere." Minato sniffed and wiped it.

"Oh." Kabuto Yakushi immediately turned to look at Genma.

Genma nodded, "I just came back to Konoha. The symptoms are not the same in Kokuto. I am sneezing, runny nose, no fever for the time being, and the lymph nodes are a bit swollen. I probably haven't been affected by the wind. There is a special condition, according to the report of the accompanying Jonin in Kokuto : First, I used a lot of chakra to help Master Naruto repair the seal last night, and I lost about 40% of my blood, so I have used nutrients and blood supplements; second, I didn’t get enough rest during the business trip to the capital, and I got up too early today; third, breakfast I finished eating Ichiraku Ramen, but I don’t seem to have any appetite.”

So the Hokage, who was just about to say that it was too silly to ask other people without asking the patient when seeing a doctor, silently burrowed into the sofa and stopped.

Yakushi Kabuto gave a slight thumbs up to his more efficient strategy and continued to say to Genma, "My throat is a little swollen."

"It really doesn't hurt." Naruto raised his hand.

"It is recommended to take a break in the morning."

"I have a meeting later." Naruto protested.

Kabuto frowned, looked at the Hokage, and then at Genma, "What time can it be finished?"

Xuanjian replied, "As fast as 5 minutes, I don't know if it's slow."

"Then we'll have a rest after the meeting." Kabuto didn't think that the Hokage would encounter any reaction other than approval during the meeting in Konoha. "Then mix two parts of hot water and one part of fruit and vegetable juice and drink it first. The hot water should be hotter, and the fruit and vegetable juice should be mixed with it." Just the one from the cafeteria.”

"Okay." Xuanjian nodded.

"Also, check your temperature every half hour. If you have a fever or start coughing, call me." After saying this, Yakushi Kabuto took out a pair of tweezers, picked up the snot paper in the Hokage's hand before he could throw it away, and stuffed it into a plastic bag and sealed it. shut up.

Minato looked at the bag in Kabuto's hand. The more he looked at it, the more it looked like the evidence bag used in the autopsy room. "Hey, what are you doing with my snot paper?"

"Testing." Kabuto smiled slightly, "By the way, sir, the one on duty at the door today should let him have a day off."

Minato thought for a while, oh, the ANBU on duty at the door today is Moonlight Hayate. That kid has not been in good health since he was a child. Could it be that he keeps working just to save for his wedding vacation and relapses? Really, I remember yesterday was Hayate's birthday, "011671 ,Come in."

"Yes, my lord."

"Why don't you know how to take care of your body? Why don't you treat your wife well when you go back to the wedding night? It won't be good for your children if you hit her with one blow."

"" Moonlight Hayate under the cat-faced mask secretly looked at the stunned Genma, and then at the smiling Yakushi Kabuto. He didn't know how to reply to the super cold joke that Hokage-sama hadn't made in a long time. Anyway, I must apologize first. That's right, "Sorry, sir."

"You have a cold." Our Hokage narrowed his eyes.

"Ah" Yue Guangfeng blinked, "It's almost better, but it's still a little bit sticky."

"Okay, you should go back and wait for Hao Lisuo to come back to work." The Hokage sighed, hugged the cup of hot water that Genma poured him, and waved.

"No, sir, it won't delay your work."

"But it bothers me to hear you snorting." The Hokage's voice was cold.

After hearing this, Moonlight Hayate ran away. According to Kakashi's code, when the Hokage is in a bad mood and asks you to go away, don't go away.

"Okay, I seem to have caught a cold from him." Minato swallowed the water in his mouth and suddenly felt his throat starting to hurt a little, "Give me some cold medicine to stop my runny nose first, or I won't feel sleepy. "

"Waiting for you

I'll send it to you after the meeting. " Dou shook the evidence bag in his hand, "We need to confirm first whether you were really attacked by the cold virus or whether you caught the cold due to the fatigue of the trip. "

"It's really troublesome."

"It's better than you taking the wrong medicine."

As a result, our Hokage has to go to the meeting wearing a mask and sniffling, no matter how unhappy he is.

Hokage building small conference room

8 o'clock in the morning

The top management of Konoha has been holding regular morning meetings from time to time.

"Aqiu."

Minato felt that his nose had soaked the 13 layers of gauze on the mask, but when he secretly looked at everyone, no one seemed to have any change in expression, so he felt relieved.

However, the fact is that everyone endures it very hard.Regardless of whether it was the elder Mito Kabuto sitting opposite the Hokage, Shikaku, Genma on the left, or Hinata on the right, they all saw the two wet nostrils on the Hokage's mask.Well, if you need to wear a mask if you catch a cold in the future, you must not wear one that was sterilized by Konoha Hospital with potassium permanganate solution. The diluted light pink one has two more nostrils. A girl with a pig nose like this is called cute. There are a few Men, let's forget it.

"Okay, let's start the meeting." Our Hokage felt that his throat was getting more and more sore, "First of all, I announced the resignation of two personnel. Jonin Metkai was promoted to field captain, and Jonin Yamato was transferred back to the Hokage Guard and promoted to my Guard Captain, it’s useless for you to have any opinions. However, the gap of the Security Minister still needs to be discussed. We couldn’t continue the discussion last time, and today I think it is necessary to draw a conclusion.”

"Master Yondaime, if you have a cold, go and rest first." Nara Shikamaru was the first to speak, "Genma, don't stop me."

Genma's muscles tensed up in an instant. He was used to being a high-ranking member of Konoha. He no longer felt shabby when his juniors knelt down and saluted from time to time every day. However, in front of his elders, he just couldn't put up the airs of a leadership class.

But our Hokage likes to help his own children out of trouble the most. He glanced at Shikaku, "Why are you afraid that I will infect you?"

"How is that possible?" Lu Jiu shut up obediently.

Minato continued to bring the meeting to the main topic, "Let's talk about today's topic. Don't ask me to name names one by one this time."

"Since you asked Yamato Jonin to be your guard captain, isn't Mr. Aburame, the current acting guard captain, the new person in charge of the security department that you have prepared?" Hinata Hinashi saw the Hokage's eyes crossing his face and stood up quickly. , "My lord, your idea is actually very good. Since Aburame was able to command your unruly Anbu elites when you were not in Konoha, commanding the security department will not be a problem either. Moreover, Aburame Jia's insect control technique is originally a detection technique, which is enough to prove that he will not have any problems with technology and concepts."

"Then you are recommending Zhiwei to me." Minato twirled his pen.

"I just admire and obey your ideas, sir."

"Oh." Minato said noncommittally, "Where are you Genma?"

"Uh" Genjian stood up, "Master Rizu is quite right."

Minato sighed and asked Genma to sit down.

Genjian saw the slightly disappointed look in Naruto's eyes - I shouldn't have asked you, idiot - he didn't know why.

At this point, Mito Katoyan could no longer look at the table in a daze.After listening to Hiashi's words, he actually felt that Minato's own decision was much better than what he had initially imagined.And, "Ah, when the third generation saw the joint announcement of the Fire and Water a few days ago, they said that you young people are doing very well now, much better than us old men."

"Hey, Sandaime-sama, did you really say that? It's great that he finally understands what we have been doing for so many years." Nara Shikaku quickly continued, "By the way, Sandaime-sama, how is your health recently?"

"Ah, the old boy has nothing wrong except for the physical examination showing that his blood vessels are a little hard, his blood pressure is high, his bones are deficient in calcium," Elder Menyan also answered happily, and then turned to the fourth generation, "Minato, you have to pay more attention."

But Minato was still annoyed by the two people who interrupted him, "We are now having a meeting Nara Shikaku, tell me who you think is the most suitable candidate for the security department."

Shikaku, who failed to interrupt, had to stand up.Hinata and Genma had both stood up to speak before. He was not a senior like Mito Monobu, nor was he as thick-skinned as Uchiha Fugaku, "I'm sorry, sir."

"You've been saying sorry a lot lately."

""

"Forget it, let's talk about it when Ding Zao comes back." Minato sighed again. Maybe he shouldn't have organized this meeting, but just wrote the announcement to accept his fate. Anyway, Uchiha Fugaku, who had objections to him all day long, had already After death, the Uchiha family, which has handed over all the real power of Konoha's defense system, is no longer a big threat to Konoha. "Do you still have any objections to this?"

"" Shikaku was quite embarrassed.

"Then there's nothing to do at this meeting. Let's break up the meeting." Our Hokage pulled off his mask, took the tissue handed to him by Genma and blew his nose hard, "I have a cold, I want to take a vacation, you can watch it yourself at work. Deal with it.”

Then, the golden light disappeared in a flash.

Xuanjian quickly caught up with him.

The few people who stayed in the conference room looked at each other.

"Minato seems to be angry." Elder Mito Kaden seemed a little confused, "It's because we laughed at him for having a pig's nose."

"Only you laughed, I didn't." Minister of Intelligence Nara Shikaku glanced at the white-haired elder who pretended to be confused, but he also pretended to be confused.

However, Hinata and Hinata always had something to say. He stood up and left, not knowing who he was scolding, "Confused."

Seeing that Shikaku's expression suddenly changed after hearing such a sentence, Mito Kadoyan quickly ran away.

But Nara Shikaku suddenly gave him a big mouth.

Interrupted by the meeting, in fact, it was Uchiha Fugaku who did the most in the past.On the surface, everyone was laughing and chatting about serious business. It was like a sweet spring in the midst of heavy work, which could relax everyone's tense nerves.But in fact, just like his performance today, it was just that Fugaku was inconvenient to express his position, or he encountered something suspicious and didn't want to fall out with Minato on the spot.In this way, by setting aside the dispute, the two people will still have the opportunity to reach an agreement in private.

It's just that Shikaku seemed to have made a mistake. He was not Uchiha Fugaku after all.

Fugaku is the talker of the political forces in Konoha headed by the Uchiha family.They and the Hokage line are basically two different mountains. If you move closer to the Hokage, it's cooperation. It's completely normal to have objections and conflicts of interest.The Hyuga family has always remained neutral, taking Konoha's interests as the standard. They will support whoever can make Konoha good, as long as they don't uproot their family and harm their own interests.Elder Menyan and the three generations have advanced and retreated together. Those who withdraw from the stage of history can of course do so according to their temper.As for Genjian, he is just a child.

And he, Nara Shikaku Ino Shikacho, is originally from the fourth generation Hokage line.He and the Fourth Hokage were both prosperous.In other words, in today's entire meeting, no one had any conflict of interest with each other.So, in this simple political meeting, he who is simply showing off his own interests

Even Hinata, that stereotypical idiot, could see what Minato wanted to do with Aburame. With an IQ of over 200, why couldn't he see that Aburame was indeed more suitable for the Security Department than Ding Zai?But the captain of the guard actually promoted Akimichi Choza, who lost his position in Yamato. What should I do if the brother who grew up with him and the elite jounin who is rarely in good health will retire like this? Moreover, Haiyi retired, he himself has old injuries. You may not be able to work for a few years, but the children are still growing.Although Konoha is much safer now, the higher-ups always need someone to take care of them.

Well, this is all Nara Shikaku's selfishness.

But Shikaku never believed that people can't have selfish motives. On the contrary, people who don't have selfish motives are not human at all.So in the struggle between the third generation and the fourth generation, he turned to Namikaze Minato who had more selfish thoughts.So, would Minato Namikaze be someone who would sacrifice anything for Konoha? Of course not, Minato was the best to his own people.So, from whether Haiichi should ask for Tsunade when he got sick, to Fugaku's death, and now what exactly is he worried about.

Doubt is never the same as suspicion
