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

Konoha 62 years

In the night, under the moonlight

Snow, a thin layer of crystal clear

At the border station, the Hokage's office silently re-hung the name tag of the station manager.

Jiraiya didn't pay attention to the change of name tags at all, he just thought that in the first half of the night, the resident ninjas had such a lively meal, and Minato didn't come out to have fun with the people, looking for his son, he was afraid that he was really seriously ill.However, "he went back without saying a word in the middle of the night."

"Not silent." Kai really said goodbye to the Hokage, "By the way, before the Yondaime left, he said that Master Naruto will return to Konoha with the ANBU who have changed their defenses after the expiration of the border garrison. The Yondaime please stay for a few more days. God, then you can take care of yourself.”

"what does he mean"

Kai was a little embarrassed, Uchiha Itachi returned to the field, Yamato became the guard captain, and Naruto and his team no longer had a jounin instructor.So as we all know, Jiraiya rushed to the border during the New Year just to replace Yamato, but as a result, before the New Year was over, the Hokage regretted it.

"Oh, you don't need to be ashamed of him. He has been used to being the Hokage over the years and no one dares to care about him. It's not like he's the first to think about it every time. He burns bridges across rivers and forgets his mother after marrying a wife. I think he can still be useful to Naruto. Pick someone to be your mentor?" Jiraiya thought to himself, raised his legs, and jumped down several floors of the building back to the ground.

Kai had no choice but to jump down. He swore that the two masters and apprentices were really like masters and apprentices when they were crazy. "Jiraiya-sama"

Jiraiya patted Kai on the shoulder, "Kai, you have always been the most agreeable to me. Why are you so angry all of a sudden? Don't worry, I won't be irresponsible and leave suddenly like someone else."

Kai was really flattered, "Well, if you don't have any other instructions,"

“Is there any wine?”

"If you don't mind, I'll be the back cook in the cafeteria." After Kai said that, he quickly climbed up the wall, climbed several floors like a gecko, and climbed through the window into his office.

Jiraiya looked at Metkai who was running for his life. He didn't curse anything when he opened his mouth and just walked to the cafeteria silently.He knew that the wine in the Konoha cafeteria was tasteless and had a pitiful low alcohol content, but it was still wine, wasn't it?Jiraiya loves wine, but he's not picky when he doesn't have it. He's approachable, he's gentle and kind, and he's not as difficult to maintain as that little bastard named Namikaze Minato.

So Jiraiya, standing in front of the cafeteria door, wanted to smash the wine gourd again.

"Jiraiya-sama, you are hungry."

"So, can you open the cafeteria door for me?" Jiraiya smiled like Metkai at the ANBU guarding the cafeteria.

"The barbecue grill in front hasn't been removed yet."

"You let me eat the leftovers"

The ANBU trembled all over and quickly opened the door to follow.

This made Jiraiya want to smash the wine gourd even more, "Why do you always follow me?"

The ANBU looked at Jiraiya who was rummaging around in the kitchen, and wanted to try the skills of this famous old man. "The kitchen is an important place. Protect it carefully. If someone sneaks in and poisons it, everyone will die."

Jiraiya gritted his teeth, turned around and grabbed Anbu's collar, "I look so unreliable."

"This is the system." After the ANBU said it, a group of shady dog-faced masks surrounded Jiraiya.

Jiraiya gritted his teeth again, but still didn't really dare to fight. He was just Jiraiya who loved freedom, not a rebellious ninja who attacked ANBU on duty.He understood that at this time, he should have the same gate as when he came back from catching a thief in the Kingdom of Water. He should follow the rules honestly. It would be better to apologize to the gang on duty and say that he drank a little too much during the Chinese New Year, but he wanted to save face. Yes, it's still too ugly.

Fortunately, someone came to help him out immediately, "Jiraiya-sama, how much have you drunk?"

Jiraiya stepped down and said, "Not much. I haven't drunk enough five or six kilograms of good wine. Metkai asked me to come to the cafeteria to find some vinegar."

Then the ANBU dispersed.

Jiraiya turned around sharply, "Uchiha Itachi, why didn't you follow Minato back? He only had Yamato next to him."

"Konoha has sent someone out." Itachi was also worried about Naruto's condition, but he was still reassured by the seniors in the night department of the Guard, "And I can't fly Thunder God yet."

"" Jiraiya gritted his teeth, opened the door of the wine cellar, and jumped in first.

Itachi also jumped down. It was impossible for Jiraiya to poison the resident object, but he could still do it by spitting and sprinkling some croton.

However, Jiraiya quickly found a jar of wine that was pleasing to the eye, opened the seal and took a sip. It was okay, and then poured it into the wine gourd.After pouring the wine, he patted Itachi on the shoulder and said, "Would you like to take a few sips together."

"Thank you, no." The ANBU brothers formed groups to go to the port in batches. As those who stayed behind, they had to be more vigilant.

"It's so boring, just like your father." Jiraiya glanced at Itachi and crawled out of the cellar.

Itachi followed out and motioned to the guarding ANBU to check again.

Jiraiya pretended not to see it, drank wine, and blinked, "Itachi boy, do you want me to take you to the port to see something?"

"I have been working in the Anbu field for a long time and have visited many places." Itachi refused very simply when faced with the increasingly amiable Jiraiya.

"Don't talk too much. I guess your father will never teach you how to enjoy the night." Jiraiya blinked hard again, "Young man, do you know what is the most interesting thing to do at night?"

Itachi said seriously, "Jiraiya-sama, I have been to Flower Street several times. There is not much to see."

"That's because you don't have an interesting senior like me to guide you." Jiraiya hooked Itachi's shoulders and put his arm around Itachi's back.

Itachi sighed again, this time a little red behind his ears, "My problem is that there are too many girls in Konoha who like me. If you don't mind, you can teach me how to reject them gently and clearly."

"" Jiraiya choked for a while before pushing Itachi away, "You deserve to be played by others while you are on duty."

But someone has to be on duty so that other people can play.Itachi silently continued his patrol route around the station.Then it turns out, nothing happens.

Itachi hated that nothing was happening.Maybe it’s because he’s seen too much of the Hokage family’s fatherly and filial piety, or maybe it’s because he misses his family so much during the holidays, but Itachi will fall into trouble whenever he’s not doing anything.

Seeing it snowing reminds me of the time when Sasuke was 2 years old, their family was enjoying the snow in the backyard, and his father dropped Sasuke into a snowdrift, and his mother threw her over her shoulder while he was eating rock candy balls.When I saw the steaming water, I thought of the time when Sasuke was 4 years old, when his family went to a hot spring. His father held his mother's hand, carrying Sasuke who was sleeping in front of him, and they went home together under the stars, singing ugly songs. thing.Seeing the lunch box reminds me of the time when Sasuke was 6 years old. His younger brother forgot to bring his lunch box during a school outing. His mother asked his father to deliver it. His father was busy at work and forgot about it, so he took the blame.

They were all very interesting little things, but they made Itachi very uncomfortable.

You can think about things that have passed away occasionally, but you should not look back frequently.His father's father educated his father in this way, his father educated him in this way since he was a child, and he also planned to educate his children in this way.Otherwise, according to the fate of most ninjas, no one will be able to live a good life.

Itachi is 20 years old. He graduated from ninja school at the age of 7, was promoted to chuunin at the age of 10, and became the squad leader of the ANBU at the age of 13. Now, theoretically, the entire ANBU field teams are under his command.In short, let me just say that, except for the internship period and the two years with the Hokage, he has been working for 10 years. In these ten years, he has disabled more than 20 colleagues, killed more than 60 colleagues, disappeared 3, and was They also killed 5 of them themselves.On average, nearly ten people a year receive bad news every thirty or forty days.

It’s hard to throw away a pair of shoes that still fit your feet after being worn for a long time, let alone a person.So Itachi learned a long time ago never to be tired of things that have passed.

Tired of it.He is the ANBU of the Hokage, Konoha's special assassination force, field service, and his job is always about human lives. Extreme battles between life and death without any distractions, and distractions are due to many unnecessary emotions, those unnecessary Emotions often lead to mission failure, and mission failure usually means death.

So if you want to live, as long as you are still on duty in the ANBU for a day, you must learn not to think too much.At least he himself, his father, and his mother all did the same. The experienced ninja family would not let their children who were out in the field have any unnecessary burdens. Uchiha Itachi had worked in the field for ten years, and he never had to do anything for his family. Even if she received the news of her father's death a few months ago, even if her mother, who had just lost her husband, was spending the New Year alone at home.

Therefore, now that elites from various families are increasingly rare in important positions in Konoha, he is still a genius and a dazzling banner for the Uchiha family that cannot be ignored.This is the expectation of his family, and it is also the life he loves. He knows that he will become stronger and stronger through tempering, and it will not be considered a mission failure until the enemy hears his name and runs away in fear.

So, how could he allow himself to feel guilty easily just because of mere memories? He didn't allow it.

"brother"

"Yeah." Itachi stopped holding the rag in his hand and turned around.

Black Gulong Donnin Dormitory Building

The morning light hasn't shined in yet

"Brother, what are you doing?" Sasuke was startled by Itachi's appearance. His brother was wearing a pink lace apron, rubber gloves, and a large paper hat on his head.Then he stood on the window sill of his younger brother's dormitory, like a ghostly shadow, saying, "Clean the windows."

"Year-end cleaning." Itachi nodded seriously.

"But it's already the first day of the new year." Sasuke looked at his watch. It was 04:30 in the morning and he almost put his hands on his forehead.

"That's New Year's cleaning." Itachi was still wiping seriously, "Cleaning is all about New Year."

"That's right." Sasuke's mouth twitched. He didn't want to clean up a house that couldn't last two days, but he couldn't let his brother do it alone.In particular, his brother "snapped."

""

"It's okay, brother, you wipe off other things first, and the tape will stick after a while." Especially his brother, like his father, was a disaster at home.

Itachi silently jumped down from the window sill, "The quality of the border glass is really poor. I've wiped the windows of the Hokage's office countless times and never seen any cracks."

"Because the glass of that floor-to-ceiling window is probably the strongest in the world. If you don't believe it, go back to Konoha, brother, and burn it with fire escape to make sure not even a mark is left." Sasuke opened the drawer and took some tape to find his head, "Naruto said He was kicked countless times when he was a child and it was fine."

Itachi watched Sasuke glue the glass, and felt as if he was being laughed at by his younger brother. He wanted to change the subject, "By the way, Sasuke, do you have any plans these days?"

"No, it will be fine after cleaning the pig house and feeding the pigs twice a day." Sasuke felt that his brother was particularly strange today, "Brother, do you have something to tell me?"

"It's okay, I just don't want you to buy some souvenirs every time you come out. I have time these two days."

"No need to stand guard for the fourth generation."

"My secondment has ended and I am now taking a relaxing break."

"Oh."

"Want to go shopping?"

"I'm fine" Sasuke hesitated.

"Don't hesitate."

"I want to invite Sakura to go with me." Sasuke's eyes wandered and his voice was small.

"Oh, that pink-haired teammate of yours." Itachi looked at Sasuke, whose ears were a little red, and suddenly felt a sense of realization that my cabbage could actually eat a pig.

After Sasuke finished speaking, he was not shy at all. He said with a cold face and a serious look, "Mom said that there are so few kunoichi in Konoha, so it's better to attack first and then suffer disaster. Besides, she likes me and she's not ugly, so why refuse?" . But for you, brother, what do you like? Do you want to marry a girl of the same race like your father?"

"I want you to take care of it. Get to work quickly. After cleaning your dormitory and mine." Itachi poked Sasuke's forehead vigorously, but after thinking about it carefully, it was time to consider the issue of the wife of the new Uchiha clan leader. The clan leader is single and gossiping. too much.

So, two hours later, it was dawn.

Or the genin dormitory building?

After taking a walk after breakfast, Uzumaki Naruto was first asked by Sakura to help her feed the pigs today.He agreed.After that, he went upstairs to the door of the dormitory, and Sasuke next to him asked him to help feed the pigs.Naruto also agreed.Anyway, depending on what his father wants, their little idea of ​​going out for a stroll will be delayed sooner or later.And earlier, after Sasuke and Sakura accompanied him to cross the sea in the middle of the night, he had promised himself to heaven and earth that since he was born to cheat his teammates, he had to take more care of his teammates.

However, holding a pot of crab legs leftover from yesterday's meal, Naruto sat on the bed in the dormitory, shaking his legs and thinking, Hey, something is a little wrong.

First of all, genin, those who are doing D-level missions can't get out of the gate of the station. If the two of them don't do anything for a day, this is because the genin has guaranteed to take them out to play. Well, the person sitting in Sasuke's room just now should be Brother Itachi. He was infallible.Secondly, wait a minute, Brother Itachi took Sasuke out to play and called Sakura instead of him. What kind of rhythm is this?

Are the two of them, Sasuke and Sakura, having a sweet date under the eyes of the man's parents?

Naruto felt the corners of his mouth tighten.He only knew that Sakura had always been obsessed with Sasuke, and he also watched Sasuke's attitude towards Sakura change from being cold-faced to thinking that this girl was okay, to occasionally being a little ambiguous.

But it’s really nice that my brother asked me to go with him. This is completely different from two people going into the woods privately to look at the stars and the moon and talk about life and ideals, okay?

Congratulations to Sasuke for opening his mind, congratulations to Sakura for keeping the clouds clear and seeing the moonlight, congratulations to Uzumaki Naruto, your secret little first love is completely over.

Uzumaki Naruto had long expected that this day would definitely come. After all, he only said "I like you" to Sakura a few times when everyone was encouraging him when he was in school. After becoming teammates, he did not particularly do anything to women except cheating teammates and causing trouble. What did the child do?

In short, Naruto's reason told him that he did not have to rely on Sakura, but compared to his childhood sweetheart Hinata who blushed and was speechless when she saw him, he felt that it was rare for a girl around him to have a girl like Sakura from birth to From his strength to his appearance, he is so average, but no matter who he faces, he is still confident and adorable.

But his soft little heart seemed not to understand rational words.His little heart told him that he had really received a critical hit, a bolt from the blue, and his health tank was almost empty.

"Naruto Uzumaki, you deserve it. Two years ago, when Sasuke's hair didn't grow evenly and he was so frightened that he opened his eyes when he saw all the techniques, you didn't seize the time, and you didn't pay attention to the two of them even though they were already showing signs. Now you're just a frog here. Legs." Naruto chewed on the crab legs, the crab meat was delicious.

However, no matter how I eat, I still want to cry, "Mom."

Naruto threw away the food bowl, took out his mother's photo frame from his luggage, and watched his beautiful young mother thinking happily to the camera.Why are women in love always so stupid? Naruto wiped the photo with his sleeve vigorously until there was nothing left to wipe, then stuffed it into his arms and pushed it against the bed board.I just stood there, listening to the roaring waves outside the window and the chilling night sea breeze, and felt even more chilly and lonely.

So Naruto got up, closed the door, and quietly slipped into the office building.

He doesn't care. He doesn't care. He doesn't care. He doesn't care whether his father is busy or not, whether he is doing something big or not, or whether he is meeting anyone important.He needs his dear daddy now, he wants him more than ever, needs him

Need is an irreplaceable dependency
