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

In the end, Metkai didn't say much to Jiraiya.He has long passed the age where he can say stupid things anytime and anywhere, and no matter how stupid he says, he can only get a slap in the face to be considered responsible.And even if the Hokage talks, his subordinates run away and break their legs, and Konoha lends money in real money, he must discuss the details and handover with the Mist ninja, otherwise he will be robbed by a bandit, rebel ninja or something in the middle, and it will not be fun. So big.

As for Jiraiya, he chased Kai and teased him for a while without further entanglement. Instead, he turned a corner and headed towards Minato.It is true that the longer he lives, the more he looks like an old bastard, but old bastards just eat more salt and walk more than little bastards. If someone sticks his butt in a nasty way, he will know that he is going to shit.

"Minato Namikaze, open the door for me. Open the door. You have the ability to throw a cup but not the ability to open the door."

Konoha 62

8:[-] am Konoha Border Station

"The fourth generation said that he didn't sleep well last night and wanted to sleep again."

Jiraiya nodded at the dog-faced mask that suddenly appeared in front of him, and continued to knock on the door.

Unfortunately, he was immediately stopped by the little gangster, "The fourth generation has not seen any visitors."

"Again, I'm not a guest." Jiraiya was a little offended.

"You can't come in anyway."

"I have to go in."

"Trespassing to the Hokage's station will be shot without mercy."

Jiraiya clenched his fist and then let it go.As for breaking in, he really didn't dare to force his way in.Once again, the old bastard is just a freedom-loving libertine, not a traitor. "Then please go to the fourth generation and pass it on."

"The Fourth Generation is asleep."

Jiraiya gritted his teeth, "You can do it, Itachi. I have nothing to say to this little brat like you. The one named Yamato is there."

Itachi's eyes flashed and he adjusted the mask on his face, "While the Anbu is on duty, all Konoha ninjas should abide by the rules of confidentiality. You should not call me by my first name."

Jiraiya took a sip of wine and said, "Who knows what your fucking code name is? If you don't talk to a little brat like you, let Yamato come out."

"It's my duty now."

Jiraiya finally put on a fierce face, "You did it on purpose, kid, be careful that your father and I will accuse you."

Itachi tilted his head.

"When I was drinking flower wine, I saw you."

Itachi rolled his eyes at Jiraiya, "My father will only be happy when he hears this, so I don't mind at all, senior, if you go down below and have a drink with my father."

"Down below" Jiraiya saw Itachi's downward pointing fingers.

"Ah."

Jiraiya took a sip of wine to calm down his shock, "Don't tell me, boy Fugaku is dead."

Itachi frowned, "He passed away in the autumn. There have been so many personnel changes recently. Don't you even read the briefings?"

Jiraiya was so embarrassed, the death of an acquaintance whom he hadn't interacted with for many years was nothing.But his next step was to use Sasuke to threaten him to open the door. Now he was able to bully orphans and widowed mothers with confidence, "Well, Itachi, my condolences, he is gone."

Itachi nodded, "Thank you for your concern, but my mother said that it is a good outcome for a ninja to die in his own home. Besides, no one else is to blame for my father's death. He has to stop drinking due to old injuries, but he always drinks too much secretly."

"Uh, drink too much." Jiraiya couldn't help but put down the bottle of wine. Uchiha Fugaku was not a good person, but he was a model in terms of self-control.Therefore, for a guy who has been sitting for more than ten hours without shaking his neck and drinking to death, Jiraiya could hold back the slight disobedience in his heart and scanned Itachi's clear eyes, maybe he should still have something to do with Konoha. Let's break the gap.Minato had said many times that Konoha was no longer the same as before.Yes, it’s different. The prodigal son who doesn’t come home very often is now a guest.

Jiraiya thought like this and suddenly felt a little lonely. He had to go in and take a closer look at Minato and his thoughts faded away.His disciple Minato Namikaze did look ugly today, maybe he was ill, but did the Yondaime Hokage really need him to be a troublemaker who didn't care about anything? Other disciples didn't care and instead caused trouble.

So Jiraiya shouted a few more words, but still didn't hear Minato's answer, so he drank another drink and left silently.It's just that he drank and drank, from the time the sun rose to the time the sun set, he still didn't get drunk.Jiraiya wants to get drunk. When he's drunk, he doesn't have to worry. When he's drunk, he doesn't have to think too much. When he's drunk, he just wants to get drunk.

Yes, Jiraiya is lonely. On the occasion of the New Year when the family is reunited, in the deserted border station where the sea wind and waves are cleared of nothing, the free Jiraiya should not be here.

He should be caressing his tender white legs in the warm spring water of the Kingdom of Yu, spend money like water in the prosperous commercial port of the Kingdom of Water, or write his novel in some quiet place instead of digging into Jiraiya's trouser pockets. He took out the Fei Lei Shen communicator, which was sticking to his thigh, and swung his arms several times towards the sea, then silently checked the battery and put it back in his trouser pocket, "I'm doing it for Naruto's sake, I'm doing it for Naruto's sake." "

not far

In the warehouse behind the station canteen

Naruto Uzumaki was not in a good mood after being talked about.No one would be happy if his father just promised to take his son to play, but then sends his subordinates every day to tell him that he is very busy at work and plans have changed.But Naruto now has no more complaints besides worrying that his father won't be able to eat and sleep well because of work.

I didn’t know what my father was busy with a few days ago, but these days, the entire border station is busy forming an alliance with the Mist Ninja.And why did the Mist ninja rush to form an alliance with Konoha at the end of the year? Isn't it because the Hokage just arrived at the border? Why did the Hokage suddenly come to the border? Who asked his lovely son to go out and kill two traitorous ninjas? He refreshed the mission record and the whole team remained silent. He ran out.

Ah, Uzumaki Naruto, you are the only biological son of the Fourth Hokage who has many enemies. If your father can't be touched, he will naturally make trouble for you. So, is your father worried about you and coming to you? Is it wrong? Of course, Naruto didn't. Wrong, it would only be the black Uzumaki Naruto who was wrong.

Yes, Hei Liu Liu, it literally means "Why do I still have to make briquettes here in the dark after serving Piggy all day?"

"Because cooking, water, heating and lighting all boil down to coal." Sakura turned off the increasingly dimmer light bulbs, turned on the emergency lights, and continued mixing the coal, "Is it possible that you have the ability to burn coal on a bare mountain cliff? firewood"

"Isn't there a water power and wind power generation system?" Of course Naruto knew that relying on the sky was unreliable, otherwise the light bulb above his head would not turn on and off, but he just wanted to talk.

Sure enough, Sasuke's eye roll came immediately, "Idiot."

"Who are you scolding?" Naruto threw a handful of soot at Sasuke.

"Childish." Sasuke let the coal dust wipe the corner of his clothes to the ground, and then continued to use the hammer to break the coal.

Naruto looked at Sakura with a flat mouth.

Sakura felt that Naruto half-crouched in the coal pile was like a stupid milk dog that begged to be played with and groomed, and people couldn't help but stroke his head.But Naruto was really not as cute as a puppy, so Sakura just shrugged.

Naruto almost suffocated himself to death, but he didn't die. He still had to work. This is a genin, a genin of Konoha. In peacetime, genin are only qualified to run errands and do odd jobs.

"Notice that your team will have to work overtime tonight."

Any little cannon fodder who can order them to do this or that.

"Why are you so arrogant?" Naruto blurted out the truth when he saw that the person coming was an acquaintance.But Sasuke and Sakura still grabbed Naruto and stood at attention, saluted and accepted the mission.After all, no matter how familiar they are, they can just manage them.

On the contrary, Hinata Neji, who was wearing a brand-new Chuunin uniform, was embarrassed. He was still not too embarrassed to give the order and turned away, "I don't want to make everyone work overtime, but the raw coal near the station is of this quality. It cannot be made into briquettes." The combustion efficiency is really low, and all the briquettes in stock are used to support the Mist ninjas through the winter. Although the country of water is very rich, the Mist ninjas are indeed quite poor. Ninjas cannot freeze to death, but there are also many civilians in the Mist ninjas. Anyway, you only need to do With enough usage tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, high-quality raw coal will be shipped in large quantities the day after tomorrow."

But Neji's kindness did not stop the genin's jealousy.At least Sasuke still stepped on the coal after Neji left, "He's the second one."

"It's just good luck." Naruto was also angry, "Listen Kakashi

He said that during the last chuunin exam, my dad actually didn’t want to promote any chuunin, as if he wanted to press some age limit.But there was a shortage of civil servants in the Hokage Building. The genius Shikamaru always had to go in and out of the office, which was inconvenient for genin.As for Ningji, Jiraiya said, this is the first time for Uncle Thick Eyebrows to be in charge of a party. He always has to have his own direct line to do things well. After all, Neji is one year older than us. No one objects to Kai promoting a disciple. "

"But isn't Xiao Li the Kaijounin's favorite disciple?" Sakura wondered.

Sasuke snorted coldly, "It's okay for the Lancang beasts to have a fight. It's a task to manage so many people in the station eating, drinking and sleeping."

"Brother Neji, this is a family background." Naruto scratched his head and scratched a head of soot, "They just complement each other."

"So when I graduated, my mother told me that jounin and genin are not only teachers and students, but also leaders and subordinates. Unless you are like my brother who skipped a level since childhood and no one cares about it, it is very important to follow the right people. My dad also said that he is stuck. Cassie is fine." Sasuke said, suddenly patting his head, "Ah"

Sakura reacted quickly, "Ah"

"Have you been bitten by a dog?" Naruto was startled.

Sakura's eyes flashed, "Kakashi was the captain of the Hokage Guard, and later became the AN Minister."

Naruto sighed, "Then we were handed over to Jiraiya, and within a few days we were transferred to Yamato."

Sasuke pumped his fist excitedly, "My brother has returned to the field, and the current guard captain is Mr. Yamato."

"Then we were transferred to Jiraiya again." Naruto continued to sigh, "After a while, Jiraiya will become impatient, who knows?"

"Shut up." Sakura interrupted Naruto, "Our two jounin instructors were both your father's guard captains."

"Jiraiya agreed to be the temporary leader." Sasuke smiled in confusion.

"We are subordinates of two Hokage Guard Captains"

"Even if the teacher changes again, he should be the next guard captain."

"So" Naruto hesitated, "You think we are part of the Hokage Guards"

"No, not yet, it's just preparation." Sasuke was the first to calm down.

"But the chance is not low." Sakura was still excited. She took out a handkerchief and wiped Naruto's face. "Don't forget that there is one of us among you who can contribute to Konoha even if you don't go out less."

""Naruto was speechless.

"And Sakura has been training at Konoha Hospital but is not affiliated with the medical ninja." Sasuke struggled to break the coal.

"Sasuke's Sharingan is the most suitable guard." Sakura tried her best to reconcile.

"As for me, am I a mascot used to make my dad happy?" Naruto still felt that there was something wrong with Sakura and Sasuke's logic, but looking at his friends who seemed to be running on the road, he wisely did not pour cold water on them.But he couldn't help but think more as he stepped on the boring coal press. Well, there are guards, there are personal medical nins, maybe, he is the cook that Kakashi has been looking for for many years but has not been able to equip his father.

Working all night and thinking half the night

The regular smoke from the Konoha resident cafeteria thanked the genin for the briquettes.

Konoha 61

Morning, it’s sunrise again

Border Station, Hokage Lounge

A Yamato nodded at the door holding a lunch box, and entered after seeing Uchiha Itachi's red eyes dissipated in the darkness.Then he handed the lunch box to his own body, obtained the body's permission, and finally turned into a wisp of smoke.

After accepting Wan Ying's journey, Yamato finally felt relieved.The cafeteria really didn't put any seafood in the Hokage's breakfast today, not even using local sea salt.So, this time it’s time for my adults to eat.But before eating, Yamato nodded to the Hokage on the sofa.

Naruto Namikaze Minato also nodded to the serious-looking guard captain, obediently spit out the thermometer from his mouth, looked at the light, "Look, everything is really fine."

Yamato took it and frowned, "36 degrees 9."

"The blanket is too thick." Minato folded the blanket a few times and put it aside, then stretched his spine and shook his head.Although I still feel a little stuffy all over my body, it is much better than the previous two days when I wanted to stab myself to wake up.

Yamato saw that the Hokage was indeed in good spirits, so he thanked God in his mouth, but he still didn't dare to relax in his heart. After all, the Hokage's face was not much better than yesterday.

But our Hokage is already excited. Coming to the border is an accident, having a big business deal with the Mist Ninja is also an accident, and having a useless disease here is even more unexpected.But after all the accidents were resolved, didn't he just take advantage of the end of the year to worry about his son while taking a family vacation?Although I don’t have time for vacation now, I can’t even go out for a walk together. “Then I’ll wash my hair.”

"Yondaime, just because you don't have a fever doesn't mean your cold is cured." Yamato put on the thermometer and hurried to the bathroom.

"But you really can't meet people if you don't wash your hair." Minato looked at himself in the mirror with disgust. He had already washed himself when he got up, but his hair was greasy and ugly.Moreover, Minato grabbed the collar of the pajamas he had worn for several days and smelled it, "I actually want to take a shower."

Yamato touched the almost frozen solar hot water pipe, calculated the fuel reserves for logistics, and sighed, "Please be patient for now, your current physical condition is not suitable for cold showers."

"" Minato glared at Yamato.

"But if you want to wash your hair, there is hot water in the pot."

"Thank you." Minato happily took the hot water bottle away and closed the door.

"Do you need help, sir?" Yamato still felt uneasy listening to the sound of pouring water.

"I just have a cold, not a disability." If it were Kakashi or Genma, Minato really wouldn't mind lying on a chair and getting a one-stop cleaning and massage service. Anyway, those two were under his care.But Yamato always feels that there is still a little distance.

"How about having breakfast first and then washing up?" Yamato opened the door a crack.

"The water will be cold."

"The rice won't taste good the second time it's hot." Seeing that the Hokage was not going to pay attention to him, Yamato secretly handed him a piece of toffee.

Minato really wanted to slap the toffee away, but he was the one prone to hypoglycemia and bad temper.Again, Kakashi and Genma hit and scolded each other, but Yamato had better sit down and eat obediently to avoid causing trouble.

But Yamato was still worried when facing the docile Hokage, "Why do you eat so little if you still don't like it? Otherwise, let Master Naruto make some for you."

"Forget it, don't get too involved." Minato hesitated for a few seconds, then picked up a mouthful of white rice and chewed silently.

"At least let's have another meal."

Minato poked a piece of white tofu and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's a sore throat"

Minato eats a large wild mushroom.

"Well, if you really have no appetite, don't insist on eating. Drink more porridge."

Minato put down his chopsticks but didn't pick up the spoon.

"Why don't you eat again?" Yamato was even more worried, "Sure enough, I have an upset stomach."

"It's okay." Minato said, taking out a tissue and covering his mouth.

"Do you want to vomit?" Yamato asked cautiously.

Minato took out many more paper towels, quickly left the dining table, locked himself in the bathroom, and pressed the toilet flush switch.

However, the roaring sound of running water could not make the captain of the guard pretend that he did not hear it. Yamato waited for the continuous sound of water to stop and silently handed the whole pack of tissues along the crack of the door, "Yondaime-sama, why do you have to go back as planned on January 28st?" Konoha, today is the [-]th, not less than two days."

Minato sighed, rinsed his mouth and wiped his hands on the toilet, "It's just two days away."

Two days are enough for a lot to happen

There are 62 hours until Konoha's 66nd year
