Konoha 61

9:21 p.m.

Fire Country Konoha Hokage Studio

Hokage office lounge

Shiranui Genma looked at Namikaze Minato who was still restless and a little confused about what to do, "Sir, Yondaime-sama, please stop spinning around and go take a shower first. Maybe you will feel much better after taking a hot shower. "

Minato also felt that his current state of mind was wrong. He could only nod, put down the communicator that couldn't be dialed, and got into the bathroom. "Notify me as soon as there is news."

"Hey, hey." Genma closed the door to the Hokage briskly, "Please call me if you need a back rub."

But all he heard in response was the sound of running water.Genma sighed, looked at the innocent-looking Yamato, and clapped his hands to Uchiha Shisui who was writing furiously in front of the coffee table, "Are you really that busy?"

The red-eyed Uchiha Shisui nodded and shook his head.

"What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?" Genjian also became a little irritated, "Same goes for Metkai, why haven't you replied yet? Logically speaking, it should be here by now."

"Maybe it's because the weather is cold and the messenger eagle can't fly fast."

"If you can't fly as fast as an eagle in an hour, how could you not fly fast?" Genma bit the kunai in his mouth and leaned close to Shisui and whispered, "Originally, I wasn't in a hurry, but now If I keep waiting like this, I will become anxious."

Shisui had no choice but to put down the documents in his hands. He listened to the running water in the bathroom and opened his mouth, "I feel like, instead of worrying about that, I'd better ask Kabuto to check the electrocardiogram, sir."

After Xuanjian finished decoding, he raised his head sharply and said, "Speak clearly."

Shisui also blinked, "Compared to a heart-to-heart relationship between father and son or some bad premonition, I feel that if a person is always flustered, it is more likely that there is something wrong with his heart."

"" Xuanjian was really panicked this time. He walked to the bathroom in a few steps and knocked on the door. "Sir, do you need to wipe your back?"

The still irritable voice of the Hokage came from inside, "No, I'll be fine soon."

"Oh." Xuanjian took a few steps back, "I just had a physical examination last week. He only has some vision loss and a tooth decay. Don't scare me."

Shisui sighed again, "A useless ninja like you can control your heartbeat, how do you think, sir?"

"" Xuanjian gritted his teeth, "This is not like before. He has no reason to resist now if he feels uncomfortable."

"I'm afraid he hasn't even thought about it."

Genjian scratched his head, and just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw a pair of shining eyes rushing towards him.

Yamato opened the window, Shisui stretched out his hand, and the messenger eagle with Konoha's forehead protector landed on it.

Genjian took off the iron ring on the eagle's foot, took out the small note inside, and frowned.

"What?" Shisui moved his ears but didn't dare to say anything.

"Nothing." Genjian handed over the note.

Shisui took a look, "The pigs raised at the station were stolen this afternoon. Jiraiya took Naruto and his team to catch the thief. Everything went well. I don't know about the problem with the communicator. The head of the Konoha border station, Matt Kai.”

"Is this considered something happened or nothing happened?"

"You should say what the hell is this."

Shisui also felt the corner of his mouth twitching a little, "I've always felt that it would be a disaster for someone like Metkai to take a leadership position."

"But at least it proves that you don't have to call Kabuto." Genma sighed slightly and knocked on the toilet door, "Sir, the letter has arrived."

The sound of running water suddenly stopped.

"It's nothing, don't worry."

"Yeah." Minato responded, but opened the door a few seconds later.

Genma pulled Hokage, who was wearing a bathrobe, to the small sofa, and then took the hair dryer from Shisui, "You still have foam on your head."

"Speak the truth."

Genma organized his words, "Well, Master Jiraiya and Naruto are on a mission and are not at the station."

Minato frowned, "Give me the original information."

Genjian handed over the note.

Minato unfolded it and looked at it. The one-centimetre-wide piece of paper was densely written with numbers and symbols. Minato knew that it was a commonly used code, but he couldn't see clearly.

Shisui handed over a small ruler with a magnifying glass.

Minato looked at them for a long time before sighing, "It seems like nothing happened."

"Yes, sir." Xuanjian agreed while blowing his hair, "I guess more specific news will be sent tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow." Minato was still frowning.

"You're not in the mood to work today anyway, so go to bed early."

"Okay, I just want to go for a couple of runs tomorrow morning."

Genma turned up the heat and soon Minato's hair was completely dry.

Minato yawned slightly and got under the covers, "See you in the morning."

The three of them silently exited the lounge.Shisui motioned for Yamato to go back to bed quickly.Then he sat at the door and flipped through documents as usual.Genma saw Yamato out and finally sat with Shisui.

"Why don't you go back to sleep?" Shisui asked.

"It's only 10 o'clock and I'm not sleepy yet." Genma looked blankly and sighed slightly. Judging from his experience, Kai's stupid report can't deceive their wise Hokage at all. No matter how relaxed the tone of the note is, it can't stop a father. Discovered the fact that his son could no longer be contacted.

Sure enough, within 10 minutes, the Hokage's voice came slowly, "I thought about it, although you may think I am a bit unreasonable, but I still want to go to the border."

Genma and Shisui looked at each other and did not immediately say anything to stop them. After all, it was already a big improvement if they didn't suddenly disappear.

"When I close my eyes now, I have many, many bad thoughts." Minato said

""

"It just so happens that I still have something to explain to Kai in person. I originally thought about asking him to come back during the New Year, but now it seems that it's okay for me to go." Minato's voice became smaller and smaller.

""

"If everything goes well." Minato opened the door. He had already put on his clothes and held a thick sandstorm cloak in his hand, "I can come back tomorrow morning."

Genma really wanted to say to Minato, otherwise we should accompany you, but he thought that his chakra was not enough to support such a distance, and Shisui's ability to calculate coordinates could not reach Konoha at all. In theory, Yamato would be fine. But the child had never had such long-distance experience in a hurry, so it was unclear whether it would help or hinder him.

"Well Genma" Minato saw that the two subordinates were silent, and it seemed that he felt guilty first, "I know what I did is wrong, and it will also cause a lot of unnecessary trouble to everyone. As for Naruto, it is more likely that he will not do anything bad. It happened, I just went to catch a thief, Jiraiya-sama is also worthy of trust, maybe they will all be back when I arrive at the border and are sleeping soundly. But when I think that I can't contact him now, I feel uncomfortable. Naruto is Ninja, this can't be changed. He will always go on missions, I understand."

""

"But you know, since Naruto was born, he has rarely been separated from me. I once thought I could overcome it, but I endured it during the Chunin Exam.

I endured it during the national mission. I really didn't even read the report about Naruto.But this time, probably because I haven't been so busy recently, I really can't control it.I trembled with fear at the thought that I might lose Naruto one day.I"

"Sir." Shisui couldn't bear it at first, and he quickly stood up, "It's not like I didn't tell you not to go. It's just that you don't have to come back in such a hurry. At least you can sleep at the station. Although Flying Thunder God is not too expendable, Ninjutsu, it’s enough to find the coordinates and jump over them continuously.”

Xuanjian also stood up and took over, "Have you brought chocolates and everything? Don't rush forward if you're tired on the road."

"Yeah, yeah. I also brought the communicator with me." Seeing that he had convinced his two subordinates, Minato patted his small backpack gently, "But it was prepared according to the mission - Konoha, please, goodbye "

A ray of golden light just dissipated.

Xuanjian suddenly felt something was wrong, "The two of us just let him run away like this."

Zhisui was also at a loss, "Didn't you see that he looked like he was about to cry just now?"

"Then why did his bye at the end end with a happy ending?"

"Perhaps, the Hokage's speech should not have been listened to from the beginning." Shisui raised his head and sighed, "But the question is, what to do now."

Genjian quickly tore off a small note, wrote a piece of paper, then opened the window and whistled.A majestic messenger eagle flew in.

"What's the use of flying an eagle?" Zhisui frowned, "The golden flash must arrive faster than the eagle."

"Then you have to inform Kai." Genma rolled his eyes at Shisui, "This is polite."

Shisui ignored Genma and picked up his communicator, "Yamato, are you asleep?"

"No."

"Come to the Hokage's office."

"Yes, my lord."

Genma let the eagle go, "Yamato Flying Thunder God runs slower than the eagle."

"Then he has to follow, it's his obligation."

So, after a sleepless night, Yamato finally stopped holding the hand seal out of breath.It's not like he didn't use the Flying Thunder God to rush across the road. After calculating the coordinate points, he could catch up with others who ran a distance of several hours with just a few jumps.But Yamato had only gone as far as the border of the Kingdom of Wind. He walked through the forest from Konoha, and it would have taken him one night to run quickly.But to get to the Water Country, it would take 15 days and nights to run.

What's more, he was not very familiar with the coordinates left by the Hokage.

The Flying Thunder God is actually very simple when used in combat. Throw a kunai and you can run around the battlefield. The only drawback is that people can't fly where the kunai can't fly.When turning on the rush mode, Yamato turned on the flashlight facing the morning star on the horizon, carefully observed a map filled with various numbers, and then used a small wooden stick to draw under his feet from time to time.Until he gets a set of numbers, and then uses the map to find the coordinate point he wants to go to.Taking a breath, he formed the seal again and disappeared silently. He felt that he would definitely be able to reach the station before lunch.

At this time, Namikaze Minato was already sitting in Metkai's office.After all, the coordinates in the Land of Fire were all arranged by him one by one during the war. Therefore, he only needed a thought to find the chakra he had sealed in various places, and choose a distance that was not far or near. Just drag it over yourself.Although, it is really tiring to dance like this dozens of times in a row.

But Metkai, who was sitting opposite Minato, didn't know that Naruto was just tired, so he was too lazy to talk to him.Rather, it feels more like facing an active volcano that is about to erupt, making people want to turn around and leave.

However, Hyuga Neji who was standing guard outside the door was really not that afraid of his Uncle Hokage.How should I put it, when your father has a good personal relationship with the Hokage, when you have been lucky enough to jump up and down the Hokage's house since you were a child, even peed on the Hokage, and was held down and spanked, your only fear of this elder is, You've grown so big, so don't spank me anymore, okay, "Yondaime-sama, Teacher Kai, would you like some water?"

Kai was startled by Neji who suddenly knocked on the door and came in. He showed his 16 teeth and said, "No need."

Neji silently rolled his eyes at Kai. He found that the single old bachelor living alone did not understand many things. For example, the Hokage's lips were obviously dry, "Fourth Generation Master"

"Ah, Neji." Minato saw the Byakugan genin holding the water bottle and seemed to suddenly wake up, "Thank you for your hard work."

Neji took out the Konoha-style white porcelain cup, filled the Hokage with hot water, then silently closed the door and exited, remembering to give the ANBU around him a "safe and sound" look.But he still felt faintly worried in his heart.The chance that something would really happen to Naruto and the others was actually low, but he didn't know if Naruto hadn't come back by daybreak, or he wouldn't have come back for several days.

As a child raised by a single father, Hyuga Neji can actually understand Uncle Hokage.If, if he were to run away like this one day, his father Hinata Hizashi would probably be no better than Uncle Hokage.But it was better to be no better than that. Neji felt that he had to have at least been seriously injured during the mission to see such a devastated Hizashi.

So, maybe those gossipy tidbits have a lot of truth to them.For example, Namikaze Minato's spirit is indeed a little abnormal sometimes.

"Ningji, Ningji."

"Yes, sir." Hinata Neji heard someone calling him fiercely, and stood at attention as a reflex reflex. Then he realized that someone was calling him in the office, and he quickly opened the door, "May I have any orders?"

"Ah, don't be so serious, little Neji." Minato looked at Hizashi's son, who was growing more and more like Hizashi, and suddenly felt better, "Give me another glass of water."

Neji poured water.

"Then arrange a room for me. I'm a little sleepy." Minato patted Neji's shoulder and finally twitched his lips.

"Yes, Yondaime-sama." Neji secretly glanced at Metkai, who was still installing the sculpture, and stretched out his hand to lead the Hokage out of the office, "Sir, would you like to eat something before going to bed?"

"Forget it, I'm not hungry yet." Minato said as he yawned and walked into a nearby lounge.This is Metkai's bedroom. Minato sniffed and could smell the "smell of hot-blooded beasts". However, it seemed a bit unhokage to pick these.

"Um." Neci actually smelled the smell of Teacher Kai's stinky feet, but he felt that the Hokage probably had no interest in the dormitory building 800 meters away. "Anyway, I'll call you when Naruto comes back."

"Okay." Minato waved his hand and drove Neji away, and slept under Kai's smelly quilt and clothes.He counted over and over again, trying hard to fall asleep. He just hoped that his son Naruto would have a good time even if he ran out to play.

"Of course I have to be happy, otherwise it will be in vain."

There was a faint light on the calm sea, and Naruto knew that the sun was about to come out. He stood on the bow of the boat, blowing the wind, and the little guilt and regret that had sneaked out seemed to be blown away. He suddenly I thought of a famous quote I had read and wanted to shout at the top of my lungs, but in the end I just silently said in my heart, "I will ride the wind and waves to become the king of the world."

At the same time, another search boat was also riding the wind and waves.However, contrary to Naruto, standing on the bow of the boat was the female Mizukage, Terumi Akira.

Although the offshore area is the territory of the Land of Fire and the jurisdiction of Konoha, the real advantage is not Konoha, which is closer to the inland.Therefore, when Minato Namikaze set foot at the border station 20 minutes later, she got vague news and boarded the ship 10 minutes later.Although she still didn't know why Naruto came to the border, she felt that this time she still had a chance to meet the legendary golden flash.
