Uzumaki Naruto got up on time again.

He felt that ninjas had the responsibility to maintain their combat effectiveness at all times, so sleeping in would be a killer for destroying their combat effectiveness, so he was determined to keep a distance from a certain ninja who was always proud of being late.In fact, he has always done so.But no one seemed to pay special attention to his thoughts and actions.Of course, Naruto never specifically mentioned his efforts to anyone, not even to his father.

In fact, Naruto still hopes to get praise and recognition from his father in this regard, but he really doesn't want to say these trivial things to his father who wants to fall on the bed as soon as he gets home.For example, he was getting dressed now. Oh my god, when he thought about this damn bright orange color, he didn't want to wear it. He really didn't want to wear it.But his father always thought that not objecting meant he liked it, so he had to face the embarrassing situation of wanting to close his eyes every day when he opened the closet door.Well, he guessed that was one of the reasons why he didn't like turning on the lights.

In short, Uzumaki Naruto just doesn't have the habit of turning on the light.Legend has it that when I was a child, I was afraid of the dark, and my father asked me not to turn on the lights as an exercise. As a result, I cried and stumbled all over my body, and I just remembered the pain. Who cared whether it was dark or not.Later, if a ninja still needs to use his eyes to see in his own home so as not to fall, then he is too weak. Naruto Uzumaki is not Kakashi.

Naruto sighed and stood in front of the mirror, touching his face and washing his face.Now when he thinks about the fact that his leading teacher is really that white-haired bastard who likes to eat, drink, and sleep in other people's homes, he feels that his future and life are really hopeless. For as long as he can remember, Kakashi, who has no face to see people, has been I kept dangling in front of him until I became a genin at the age of 12 and still couldn't get rid of him.

"I hope to grow up like my father." Naruto wiped his face, touched his face and brushed his teeth. He really remembered correctly. Rock Lee really didn't look like what he does now when he was in school. He was a pretty handsome kid. , but since I followed Senior Kai, my eyebrows have become thick and green.In the same way, if Naruto Uzumaki follows this unlucky Kakashi, will he look more and more like a white-haired bastard, covering his face with a book every day and laughing as stupidly as possible.Really, compared to this, he would rather have thick eyebrows and green eyebrows

Anyway, Uzumaki Naruto was thinking wildly, and before he knew it, he was standing outside his father's room where our Hokage-sama was sleeping soundly.

"Master Naruto, do you need to prepare breakfast?" The secret guard guarding the door revealed a vague silhouette.

"I'll eat it when I get back from my morning exercise."

After Naruto finished speaking, he ran out. He shivered involuntarily against the wind. He didn't know whether it was because he thought of dressing up as Kakashi again or because he suddenly couldn't adapt to the temperature.

But immediately he ran back, instead of changing his mind and asking his father to get up and accompany him for morning exercises, he went to do morning exercises as a ninja. If he forgot to bring protective gear and carry weight, he would be laughed at by his companions to death. Although Uzumaki Naruto didn't care about these false claims, he did morning exercises. The chance of meeting Sasuke was really astonishing, and he didn't want to be caught by that kid.Absolutely not

So youth, Uzumaki Naruto, who flies away with the birds every day, still has no chance to talk to his father.

2 hours later

country of fire, leaves

When Uzumaki Naruto excitedly opened the door with a stinking sweat, all that was left in the house were the prepared breakfast and the canteen card for one person. "He obviously just came back yesterday, and the ninjas obviously have to take a day off the next day after returning from field missions." Yes, disgusting."

Unfortunately, Minato Namikaze was already in the office.Indeed, our Hokage is planning to rest all morning today, but emergency information never cares whether the person in charge is asleep or not.Well, Minato really went to bed before nine o'clock yesterday, but 10 hours later, he was still yawning repeatedly, and he was not as hungry as the secret guard had expected.So, he held the special breakfast in his hand, the canteen card, for one person, without any intention of eating it.Especially when there is a damn pigeon skeleton in front of you.

A very complete skeleton specimen of Konoha's specialty military pigeon.Minato sighed and took another evil look at the breakfast in his hand.He just took a bite, but he really couldn't tell what magical thing was added to this damn bread. The taste was really indescribable.

However, the groggy Hokage was still a little more energetic due to the stimulation of his taste buds, but he still felt that what he really needed now was a cup of pure coffee.

"Sir, please hurry up and eat." The secret guard looked at Naruto in a daze with a shy fox smile.

"You asked me to chew slowly." Minato obeyed and chewed faster.

The secret guard on duty looked at the Hokage who was obviously out of shape, "Sir, do you need me to inform the Nara Intelligence Minister to come back later?"

"Forget it, I have to rush to do something else after he's done with it." Minato had already swallowed the strange bread, and he was now looking at the green liquid mixed with unknown red residue in the transparent glass in front of him. ,"What's this"

"Fruit and vegetable juice." The secret guard looked at his adult's blank eyes and explained, "Supplement vitamins to increase immunity."

Minato continued to sigh and swallowed the special drink in one go, "Never let me know its specific ingredients, okay?"

"Okay, my lord."

"Sir, you must also eat the boiled eggs."

""

In short, when Nara Shikaku reported and was allowed to enter, the large desk was already clean, except for his Hokage's two crossed hands and the pigeon skeleton directly in front of his hands.As the first person among Konoha's top brass to see this skeleton, Nara Shikaku couldn't help laughing.

"Shikaku, since you are smiling so happily, you must have a good way to deal with this object, right?" Namikaze Minato raised an eyebrow.

Looking at the Minister of Intelligence who was still chuffing with joy.

"This, we resolutely obey the orders of our superiors." Lu Jiu imitated his son and rolled his eyes.

"It seems that I am the only superior you have, but I really don't know how to deal with it. What should you do?" The Hokage rolled his eyes when he saw that his subordinate was not serious, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose.

"That" the intelligence minister suddenly realized that his boss was not in the right mood today and was suddenly at a loss.

"Don't give me this or that." The Hokage slammed his hand on the table, shaking the bones of pigeons, "Speak properly."

"No matter what, we must reply to the official documents as soon as possible." Lujiu instantly entered work mode.

"Isn't that enough? I need to go to Yamanaka to draft the document, and I need to return the gift to Hinata." The Hokage put his chin in his hands and lowered his eyes, "So, do you think that you are completely fine and don't need to put this damn skeleton away?" On my desk isn’t it.”

"Yes, my lord," the intelligence minister replied simply.

"Also, I will have a meeting with the Jonin captains in the afternoon to plan the work arrangements for next year. I want to know if there are any plans for the Land of Waves." Minato tried to steady his breathing.

"Yes, what we discussed with the Country of Waves is to find an excuse to kill Cardo openly, and then guide other forces within the Country of Waves to carve up the Cardo Group. And we only need to secretly control a few of the larger business groups. ." The Minister of Intelligence paused and continued to report when the Hokage remained silent. "The main goal is to control trade routes, factories, and gold reserves. My nails have been nailed down, and some middle-level and several high-level officials within the Cardo Group have also done so. Under control. The specific details are being planned and will be discussed at a meeting in the afternoon."

"Well, that's it." The Hokage confirmed this idea, "I have a suggestion. I want all the middle managers of Cardo. Please keep them intact, okay?"

"Yes, sir." The intelligence minister stood at attention.

"Then I'm fine here." Minato said, winking at the corner, and a secret guard came out, hugged the pigeon bones on the table, and gave a slight salute to the Minister of Intelligence.

"Yes, sir, I resign from my post." The intelligence minister, who wanted to say something more, had to lead the secret guard out, close the door, and move lightly.

Minato Namikaze let out a long sigh of relief as soon as his intelligence chief exited.He forced himself to take out the routine report that he had not finished yesterday from the drawer and flipped through the pages. After a while, he felt even sleepier.Unconsciously, he was lying on the table with his arms pillowed on his head.Bad luck.The moment he lay down, he actually wanted to change his position because the forehead protector was very cold, which made his arms numb, and the forehead protector was also very cold, which made his head hurt.But he thought again, it’s just 3 minutes anyway, it doesn’t matter.

Silently.

Three minutes later, two ANBU walked out of the shadows. One carefully put a thin blanket on their Hokage, and the other closed the large French window that was slightly open. At the same time, he opened the curtains that were closed to deal with the reflection when reading documents, so that All the sunlight in winter can shine on the sleeping man.

And our poor cannon fodder Nara Shikaku was escorted back to his office by the secret guards in depression. Looking at the pigeon skeleton that was placed on his desk again, he resolutely decided to leave it like this from now on and treat it as a corpse. It is very useful to set up a monument to the former unknown animal intelligence hero Ye who was born as a member of the Intelligence Department and who died as a dead member of the Intelligence Department to scare newcomers.

He nodded, feeling that his idea was very wise, so he picked up the channel and connected to the General Staff, "Hai Yi."

"What did the fourth generation say about that pigeon?" There was noise from the other end of the channel.

Shikaku heard that it was Uchiha Fugaku who was visiting the office again, and secretly cursed that he looked more like someone from the Intelligence Department than him, "I'm angry."

The "En" channel was instantly hung up. A few seconds later, Yamanaka Haiichi opened the door of the Intelligence Minister's office, followed by Uchiha Fugaku.

"What's going on?" Hai Yi asked curiously, looking at the pigeon bones that were brought back.

"It's not a pigeon." Lu Jiu was a little embarrassed, "You're angry at me."

"How is it possible?" Fugaku wanted to laugh but couldn't, "With such an interesting pigeon skeleton, that guy Minato wouldn't be angry even if he has no sense of humor."

"How is it impossible?" Shikaku took off his jounin tactical vest, letting his old friends see the cold sweat on his back. "I was scared to death just now. Quickly look through the schedule and find a more tidy time to arrange his vacation. .”

"It's so serious," Haiyi estimated as he took out the work manual he carried with him.

"Is there any?" Shikaku said eagerly.

"He will be on leave starting this afternoon." Haiyi coughed lightly and confirmed, "Uchiha, is the hot spring you and your wife went to far away?"

"It's a two-hour drive south, and the environment is good for Uchiha's industry." Fugaku also thought it was good, "I'll inform Kakashi in a moment to pack it up and take it away, directly."

"No way, you two." Lu Jiu felt cold sweat on his back again, and quickly put on his tactical vest. He sighed, "It's somewhat feasible, okay."

"Didn't you say you wanted to relieve Minato's nervous system? In the afternoon, it was rare for the Third Generation to represent the Council of Elders in a meeting in the past few years. It was completely hopeless to expect Danzo. Jiraiya-senpai was still fighting you in the Land of Waves, so the fight started on the spot. The probability is not low." Fugaku scratched his head.

"It won't be a fight." Nara Shikaku began to be able to understand the emotion at the moment when his Hokage slapped the table for him, "But Fugaku, all the jounin captains who can come are here, and even the elders will be present. This is an important first year. How could Minato Namikaze be absent from the important first work meeting to go on vacation? The Hokage is not here, so what kind of meeting are you holding?"

It's better to just pretend that you don't know. That's how many things are solved anyway.
