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

Konoha 62 January [-]rd

Forest outside the capital of the Land of Fire

outside the valley

Konoha's ANBU sentries are densely covered. Although it didn't say why people coming here to work overtime during the Chinese New Year, since it has S-level security standards, there must be some big shot in the capital.This is the disadvantage of peaceful times. After working hard to break out of the siege and join the Anbu, except for wearing black skin and having multiple code names, most of the time he is no different from ordinary ninjas. It is just that when he goes out to work as a security guard, most people cannot afford it.

However, if you are disappointed, you have to behave seriously, because the Hokage Guard only selects people from the Hokage's ANBU.Rather than standing guard for the annoying nobles, it might be more meaningful to help the fourth generation sweep the floor and wash the dishes and take care of the young master. "Head, there is a situation."

The squadron leader who came to check the sentry really didn't want to talk to the eager young ANBU, "It's just a crow."

"It was the crow that stepped on the head of the Chuanxun Eagle"

"It's a crow that hitched a ride on the Communication Eagle. Don't get excited. Those who didn't trigger the alarm are all friendly forces." The squadron leader was pulled by his sleeves and had to stop, watching the big crow with Konoha forehead protector flying on the Communication Eagle. Entering the valley, I had some thoughts, "A group of crows flew over, I'm afraid there are dead bodies on the ground. A crow flew over, but it was a proof that everything was calm and everything was peaceful. Because when they are full or do not need to eat urgently, creatures like crows, Still extremely fun”

"Such as plucking the hawk's tail feathers, robbing the hawk's high-end feed, and seizing the hawk's dormitory?" The young ANBU watched as the crow flew out of the valley on the eagle's head, and started to act openly in the temporary eagle's nest. Wei Zuofu is the ANBU internal staff. Well, they are internal staff. "Raising and training falcons is one of our daily tasks. How can the captain watch his little cutie being bullied by an ugly bird?"

"It's not an ugly bird, it's a psychic beast."

"I know it's a psychic beast."

"That's Yamashiro Aoba-senpai's psychic beast."

"Konohamaru Yamashiro doesn't bully people like this either."

The squadron leader sighed and adjusted the dog mask on his face. He could fully imagine how the people on the nearby sentry posts were laughing.But what can he do? The ANBU always strives for loyalty and force when recruiting new recruits. It’s really not mandatory to have a good brain. "Hey, people have classes, and so do beasts. If you are not convinced, you can think more about Kaka." That Shar Pei in the west is as ugly as Mr. Parker."

"Parker is a pug." The young ANBU was even more unconvinced, but he had no chance to fight back. He was punched down by the team leader who came over.

"Someone drag him away. He tried to leave his post without permission while on duty and contradicted his superiors. He sent him back to the reserve team and asked him to practice again." The captain of the back-office team knew that this was not good, but he still couldn't help complaining to his boss, "What the hell is this kid doing?" Who hired you? Don’t send this kind of second-hand stuff to me anymore."

"Kakashi likes kids like this." The squadron leader rolled his eyes at his subordinates.

The team leader did not continue, "Boss, you too, just tell that silly boy who Yamashiro-senpai is. Yamashiro-senpai has indeed not shown up for a long time, and it is normal for the new people to be unfamiliar."

The squadron leader rolled his eyes again, "Do you think that a high-level ninja with the ultimate goal of joining the Hokage Guards would not know who Yamashiro Aoba is? This is all public information."

""Faced with the facts, the squad leader was speechless.

"Huh, thinking that showing his ignorance will make everyone think that he is a straight-brained person who only knows how to kill people, so that I can be kind and send him to the field. It's childish and stupid."

But I think that kid is more likely to want to skip work.The big intelligence exercise. After capturing Yamato, there was a signed photo of the fourth generation. What if it was the kind of signed photo where they had a meal together and then took a group photo together? The squad leader who adhered to his duties felt a pity in his heart, silently returned to the sentry post, and silently sympathized with Chuanxun. Eagle a hundred times.

The squadron leader continued to patrol, but not long after, he still held the eagle's tail feathers and entered the valley.The AN Minister Akimichi Choza ordered them to cooperate with the people from Yamashiro Aoba. People must cooperate, and birds cannot cause trouble. However, the squadron leader failed to find the owner of the crow. Instead, he saw Mingming as soon as he entered the valley. The person who shouldn't be here is Konoha's first internal service captain, Uchiha Shisui.

While standing guard, Zhisui had to deal with official documents. He couldn't hide his fatigue. "Something happened."

"It's okay." The squadron leader quickly retreated out of the valley and raised the alert level to the highest level.

People outside Konoha think Konoha is very mysterious, and people outside Anbu think Anbu is very mysterious. In fact, it just doesn't break the window paper.Just like Shunshen Shisui, when mentioning him, everyone in the Uchiha family would lament his untimely death, including the late Uchiha Fugaku, as well as the ANBU field captain and the new head of the Uchiha family, the genius Itachi.But who among them is really ignorant and who is really pretending to be stupid?

Don’t tell what you know and don’t ask what you don’t know. Isn’t the greatest significance of Konoha’s gag order just to cover up secrets that are inappropriate to be exposed?

No, the point is that although Uchiha Shisui has a new position, the captain of the Hokage Guard has never resigned.Shiranui Genma, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Itachi, Yamato, in addition to guarding the Hokage on the surface, the previous guard captains had to be sent to do other things from time to time, and in the dark this

"Sure enough, how could the Yondaime-sama's exercises be as simple as Genma said." This veteran ANBU, who was actually three years older than Kakashi, was confused, "Hey, that guy Yamato wouldn't be in the valley. Inside."

In a forest valley, there is a house, with mountains behind and water facing north, facing south, cross-shaped, with a steeple, and one floor. There is a lawn at the door and a mailbox beside the lawn. The mailbox is painted with black characters on a white background and reads "Coordinates kbs, ipo, 007" ".

The ANBU codenamed "Yamato" was not in the house.But he couldn't bear the fact that people in the house were talking about him too.

"So in the end you left Yamato behind and came back first." Aburame Zhiwei, who was sitting in the living room, finished asking, capped her pen, closed the small notebook in her hand, sighed, and took a sip of tea.

Opposite him, Yamashiro Aoba was still restless.Qingye has been calming down for a long time, but still has lingering fears.He first received a message from the Ministry of Intelligence that the fourth generation was going to conduct an exercise. Then, before he could decide whether to participate, he was embarrassed to death by a flare exploding in the sky.As a former member of the Hokage Guards, he certainly knew the subtle differences between the flares produced by the Guards and ordinary flares. He could also distinguish the owner of the signal and the map coordinates when the fireworks were in the air.Yes, the Yamato kid turned himself in near his territory.Of course Qingye won't catch him unless he catches him, and the trap must be removed. Who could let it be a distress signal.

However, a flying thunder god arrived in the forest, entered the tree hole, and saw Namikaze Minato who was curled up in such a miserable state.

Yamashiro Aoba could not describe his devastated mood at that time.With years of tacit understanding with Genma, he drove the idiot Yamato out to attract firepower, but the idiot Shisui was not so easy to deal with.To be honest, if he hadn't brought Shisui with him, he and the Fourth would have been back at least 4 hours earlier.For a frail patient with persistent high fever, wasting time is tantamount to murder.

"No, I have to watch." Qingye stood up abruptly and went to the back room.

Zhiwei stopped him, "Being nervous and regretting won't help. Come and smash the walnuts."

Facing his former boss who had been with him for 8 years and had always taken good care of him, Aoba had no choice but to grit his teeth, sit down and pinch walnuts one by one.

"Don't worry, Akimichi Ding is here." Zhiwei picked up a knife and peeled the apple, "Don't worry."

Qingye carefully picked out the white flesh from the hard walnut skin, without any trace of optimism in his heart, "Master Zhiwei, that medical ninja must be trustworthy."

"It's not like you don't know Kato Shizune." Aburame Zhiwei took off her sunglasses from the bridge of her nose to the wings of her nose, and looked at Yamashiro Aoba's sunglasses, "You have a relationship with her."

"It's not."

"Oh" Zhiwei pushed back the small sunglasses, "He is a disciple of Tsunade Senju. It is said that he has learned all the skills of the old woman."

"It's because the disciples who have been taught carefully by Tsunade-hime can't feel at ease."

"" He twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and began to cut the shaved

Cut the apple into pieces, "Anyway, she doesn't belong to the medical ninja sect of Shiranui Genma, and Kakashi also trusts her, and after all, she was the one who the Yondaime personally obtained from Tsunade Hime. You should continue to be suspicious. , but on the surface I still have a little more respect.”

"You really love telling the truth." Qingye picked up an apple core, chewed it twice and then threw it away.

"I have always been a down-to-earth person." Zhiwei gnawed another apple core and began to peel pears, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, I returned to Konoha suddenly, there is no trouble in Yuno Country. "

"Since you are already in the Security Department, please stop meddling in my affairs. I am only responsible for the Hokage here." Qingye twitched the corner of his mouth, "You told me this yourself."

"I'm just trying you." Zhiwei looked at Yamashiro Aoba carefully, "Remember what you just said, you are only responsible for the Hokage, the Yondaime, and Namikaze Minato."

"I'm like the kind of person who doesn't stick to principles for the sake of his own good, my own good, and everyone's good." Yamashiro Aoba said this confidently, and he became more and more alert in his heart.

"What are you thinking? Nothing really went wrong." Zhiwei was suspicious.

"By the way, this house is quite peculiar." Qingye started the topic casually.

"It's nothing strange. It's just that the Uchiha family has a little more crest." Zhiwei cooperated.

"Isn't this amazing? The secret base on the Hokage's secret map is actually the Chiha family's house. Our Hokage and Uchiha don't have a good relationship."

"Well, it was really not that good in the past. But you have to have a good relationship to use their house, so it can't be a trophy." Aburame finally felt that she was bored.

Yamashiro Aoba wanted to make a more boring joke, but suddenly he turned around and saw the door at the end of the long corridor finally opened.

"Is Yondaime okay?" Aburame rushed over to Weisan in two steps.

"Uh, it's okay, the fever has gone down." Kato Shizune was forced into a corner, "It's really just acute flatulitis caused by a bad cold. Let's cut it off after the inflammation and swelling have gone down, and we'll never have future troubles."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"What about the breathing problem?" Yamashiro Aoba then looked at Kato Shizune.He wanted to emphasize that who doesn’t know that colds and fevers are caused by upper respiratory tract infections? The key point is that many medicines are beginning to lose effectiveness now.But the fourth generation has been in a daze, and he has not received any information from the person he is loyal to, as to whether this seemingly confident woman is one of his own.

"Ahem, your flat body is swollen like a walnut and you can't breathe." Shizune didn't like Yamashiro Aoba's eyes even more. "In short, the Yondaime needs to rest. I have told Akimichi-sama what I need to pay attention to. Something happened. Call me and I’ll be next door.”

"Okay." Aburame pushed Aoba aside slightly and nodded. She watched Kato Shizune carrying the medical kit and walking back to her room through the other corridor. She suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart.

"As expected, he is Tsunade-hime's disciple. How dare you be so negligent." Aoba simply gritted his teeth.

"Forget it, Kakashi believes him." Aburame Zhiwei put the fruit and walnut kernels into the juicer to make juice. She filtered it once, twice, three or four times, but she still poured a pot of water into Aoba's hand. "Wait until Kakashi comes."

Aoba held the pot, walked through the long corridor first, and opened the door gently.Inside the door is the master bedroom of this house, with a window, a bed, a chair, a cabinet, several sofas and a coffee table, all with a small round fan engraved on the conspicuous place, which is simply declaring sovereignty frantically, "Lord Dingzuo."

The mountain-like Akimichi Choza left the bed and turned around, and our Hokage came into view.Qingye pushed up his small sunglasses, put down the pot and walked over, then poked at a white quilt roll with a golden glitter core. As usual, the quilt roll had a small round fan on it. No, the point was, "Why did he sleep rolled up like this."

"Is it cold in the room?" Zhiwei, the oil girl who followed, couldn't help but laugh, "I just know that Captain Minato has a habit of covering his head while sleeping in recent years, why did he change it now hahaha."

"Stop giggling and come help."

Zhiwei quickly went to help his old teammates and gently pulled out their old captain.

"Fortunately, the needle didn't move, so we didn't need to prick it again." Akimichi Dingzao gave Aburame Zhiwei a look, "I just bent three needles before inserting them in."

"The muscles are so tense." Zhiwei quickly understood and passed his eyes to Yamashiro Aoba.

Aoba's entire body became alert, the Fourth Generation was actually so alert.

He patted Yamashiro Aoba on the shoulder with a slight headache, "I want you to pay more attention, I don't want you to look like you are going to duel with someone."

Ding Zao patted the other shoulder, "If you have rested well, Flying Thunder God will go back to Konoha. Talk to the boss of Ichiraku Ramen about clear soup noodles. Minato will probably be able to eat that stuff in the next few days."

"Go back to Konoha." Yamashiro Aoye suddenly felt bitterness in his heart.

Ding Zuo pinched Qingye's Jianjing point hard, "It's true that you haven't been back for a long time."

"Oh."

Zhiwei helped Qingye adjust his collar, "Aren't you just going back to Konoha? Look, what are you afraid of? Don't tell me that you are scared."

"What am I afraid of? I'm just worried." I'm worried that just like Yamato's medical ninjutsu, Kato Shizune's methods are too much. Before long, his poor Hokage will have a swollen throat and can't breathe again, and he will have a fever that makes him say lies.

Ding Zao slapped him with another basin-sized slap, "I'm still waiting for your Ichiraku Ramen. Stop by my house and help me get a lunch box."

"Two." Zhiwei added.

Qingye rubbed his shoulders, and finally the seal flew away.

Zhiwei and Dingzuo raised their mustaches, cracked the corners of their mouths, and exchanged fists with each other.Then one person found a sofa and sat down.

Aburame Zhiwei looked at the drops of medicine in the infusion bottle for a while, then took out the folder and started writing and drawing.He is no longer the Hokage's spy, but the head of Konoha's security department.

Although the Security Department has been reforming and has left all the most troublesome internal inspection rights to ANBU, his predecessor Uchiha Fugaku only died in October, and his death was sudden.There was no handover of unfamiliar subordinates. As a former field worker, he was actually under a lot of pressure.In particular, he was supposed to be sitting in an office in Konoha and cooperating with the intelligence department's exercises. Although it would be okay to have the ANBU people watch him for a while, it seemed that he still had to return to Konoha as soon as Kakashi came over. go.

But Akimichi Teiza didn't have so many thoughts.

As the new ANBU, apart from guarding the Hokage, there was nothing he needed to do personally.First, he was not familiar with ANBU at all and couldn't point fingers as soon as he went there.Secondly, the Anbu were all acquaintances, so there was really no need for him to compete with the children for power and establish prestige.Thirdly, although Uchiha Shisui is not as quick-witted as Genma, but having him, who is familiar with the situation, take direct charge of the entire back office, it is a perfect stroke of genius.

Captain Minato's wisdom is indeed

Akimichi Tingza thought for a long time but couldn't think of what words to use.So he stood up and pressed the corner of the quilt against Minato Namikaze who wanted to turn over and roll up the quilt again.Then he moved the sofa and sat directly in front of the bed to wipe his sweat and give him some water. He pressed and pressed but it didn't smooth Minato's frown, "Hey, time flies so fast."

"Yeah." Zhiwei agreed, "It's been 16 years. Captain Minato has been Hokage for 16 years."

16 years is enough time for a lot of things to happen.Akimichi Tingza knows that he is a broad-minded guy and he doesn't care about good or bad things.But he also knew that the person lying on the bed was exactly the opposite of him. He was smart, agile, thoughtful, and had a good memory. "At the very least, sometimes it's hard to imagine that Captain Minato has reached the point where he needs care and protection from others. .”

It just looks like it changes over time.

This is the third day of Konoha's 62nd year
