"Perhaps they have been burned long ago. Didn't you say that you have burned many old things because you don't want to remember them." Our Hokage wore a three-layer mask and held up a flashlight to accompany the search.But in his opinion, something written in black and white is not as good as two people saying "I believe in you" face to face.

So Minato told Ding Zao like this.

"But what's the use of trusting me." Ding Zao couldn't be as calm as Minato, "Old wounds, those are old wounds, such serious old wounds, you have to be more serious about life-threatening things, okay?"

"But I really feel fine." Minato comforted Ding Zao who was anxious in the spider web.

"I'm just afraid that you feel good, can this kind of thing count?" The more Ding thought about it, the more frightened he became, "No, this matter must be clarified, otherwise you won't pay attention to Namikaze Minato, Captain Minato, do you understand? , do you understand clearly that we don’t want you to die?”

"It's so easy to die there, calm down. At least I'm fine now. Don't worry, I will take it seriously, I will take it seriously." Of course Minato takes it seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have returned to Konoha without going to the office first and running to Akimichi's house.It's just that compared to the old wounds that he couldn't feel at all, he paid more attention to the conspiracy that this incident showed him.What exactly, and for what reason, caused the detailed differences in his and Ding's memories? For some ninjas, it's not that difficult to change the memories of others, isn't it?

Of course, there might be no conspiracy at all.Because forgetting is not a new word for ninjas.It is also common for a person to have a hit on the head or experience something unacceptable, and the brain will delete something to protect the person's fragile mind.

Namikaze Minato couldn't be sure whether he had suffered any head injuries, but it was certain that more than one person had said to him, "You had a mental breakdown because of Naruto's mother's death. You made many mistakes. So we It is necessary to tell you the real fact: because you were dissatisfied with Konoha's decision to make your soon-to-be-born son a new Jinchuuriki, you knocked out the person who delivered the baby, and then robbed your son and fled with his wife. Otherwise, the guards and midwives would Why are all the people unconscious? So, Namikaze Minato, remember, you are a traitor. You just didn't expect that the Kyuubi who was separated from the jinchuriki did not take the opportunity to escape and pursue freedom, but rushed into Konoha like crazy to seek revenge. So, Konoha The disaster on October 48, 10 was originally caused by you, Minato Namikaze. Everything happened because of you, and it was all your fault, so don’t blame everyone for not saving you or Kinai. You were the one who caused his death. Everyone, you killed yourself and your wife. But considering that you left Konoha with a new Jinchuuriki, and you are still the father of the Jinchuuriki, Konoha also needs golden flash, and it is even more serious for a Hokage to defect with his whole family. It was a huge scandal, so you survived. We also concealed these bad things about you, and made you a great hero who saved Konoha. So, remember, it is not Konoha who is sorry for you, it is you who are sorry. Konoha, you have to repay your debts as long as you survive, do you know how to be the Fourth Hokage and repay your debts?"

The above is the explanation given to him by the Sandaime Hokage, Danzo Shimura, Koharu and Mito Kaden after he woke up.

He didn't believe a word of it.

But he really couldn't prove that there was once a black-robed one-eyed man wearing a Uzumaki mask in the world, who controlled the Kyuubi, snatched Naruto away, and used his speed to be faster than him, delaying his ability to return to Konoha in time. And it caused huge losses. Wei Wei helped him search for more than ten years. Teacher Shikaku and Jiraiya actually paid attention to it, but they didn't have any clues.

Moreover, his disciple, Uchiha Obito's dead disciple, suddenly appeared in front of him like that, and after saying so many unbelievable words, he died again.

"Watergate"

"Yeah." Minato became more and more confused as he thought about it. He felt like a naughty kitten tangled up in a messy ball of yarn.

Ding Zuo looked at the rapid change in Minato's expression and couldn't help but put his arms around his shoulders, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Minato sighed, "Don't be itchy if you have too many lice, don't worry if you have too many debts. Let's put this aside for a while. We haven't figured out Uchiha Fugaku's death yet."

"Watergate."

"Sometimes I have to admit, Senju Tsunade is right, Konoha is really scary."

"Minato" Ding Zao clearly felt that his Hokage was getting tired, "Otherwise, it's better to rest for a few more days."

"I really don't want to work anymore if I take a rest, and I've already given the notice." Minato looked at his watch and patted his face to make himself appear more energetic, "You can tidy up at home and then go find me. You're all home. By the way. Help me apologize to your wife. He kissed her husband and finally returned to Konoha, but he still spent the New Year outside."

"Okay." Dinzuo hesitated for a moment, but watched Minato fly away as the God of Thunder.

Namikaze Minato squatted on Hokage's big head and ate an entire apple and two bananas before he regained his composure.He looked at the watch again, calculated the time, and sat back down at his desk.

Naruto Office

Eight o'clock in the morning

A new working day has begun

The floor-to-ceiling windows are shiny, there is no dust on the table, the floor is clean, the water in the thermos is hot, the documents have been arranged neatly according to his work habits, and there is ink in the pen, but the walnut kernels in the snack dish at hand are an eyesore.

"Shisui, you're lucky."

Two dots of red light flashed in the shadows.

"Why are you so silent today?"

The red light in the shadow flickered again, "I worked overtime all night last night."

Minato waved his hand, "Then go to sleep."

"You can't have no one around you."

"I'll call you if necessary."

"You can't live without people by your side."

"Ding Zuo just went home to rest and will be back soon."

"You can't live without people by your side."

""

"People are bound to make mistakes. Once you have written the test and been punished, there is no need to worry about it anymore." Our experienced Hokage sighed, walked into the shadows, grabbed the little rabbit with its head bit by bit, and dragged it into the lounge.The lounge has been unused for almost a month, but it is still clean and dry.Minato skillfully put the trapped subordinate on the bed, took off his shoes, and covered him with a quilt, "Comrade Shin Ancho Akimichi Choza has a family. From now on, he will be on duty at my place during the day, and Yamato will be transferred to night. Again, you will only Just focus on ANBU matters."

"Hey, Yamato" Uchiha Shisui suddenly patted his thigh.

Minato was also embarrassed, he finally remembered the things that he couldn't remember these days, things that he had forgotten.His guard captain, the unlucky Yamato Jonin, was still stationed at the border. "Then Aoba, Aoba went to help me get medicine from Konoha Hospital. He will be back in a while. Let him take his place first."

"Yamashiro Aoba can still run errands. To be honest, I have reservations about his strength." Uchiha Shisui opened his eyes.

"Okay, let's put it another way, do you think the probability of me needing you is higher when I'm awake during the day or at night when I'm asleep?" Naruto held down Shisui who was about to turn over, "Before Yamato comes back, there will be more trouble at night. You, if you don’t get enough sleep now, will you keep me or will I keep you at night?”

Shisui thought for a moment, then quickly closed his eyes and began to rest.He always thought that he was capable of both civil and military skills. Isn't it so easy to handle ANBU affairs and help Genma take on part of the Hokage's official duties at the same time?But give him the truth, he's had enough

Minato could only pat Shisui on the shoulder and give him some encouragement.After all, this is work. If the Hokage is not tired, he will naturally be tired of his subordinates.

Minato, who just returned to the pile of documents and started to add signatures, straightened up and waved his hands, sitting awkwardly.Although he was mentally prepared for everything, his body, which had been lazy for more than half a month, still needed a few days to adapt.

"Dong dong dong."

"Please come in." Minato tugged at the corner of his mouth. He felt that he was so useless. He regretted that his first reaction when he heard the knock on the door was that Aoba had brought him snacks.If it takes 21 days to develop a good habit, it takes 15 days for the bad habit to become ingrained.

especially

But when he saw Nara Shikaku, Aburame Jiwei, Shiranui Genma, and Hyuga Hizuka coming together, he didn't even realize that these people were here to hold a regular meeting.

The Hokage's morning meeting is actually a bit in name only, but the meeting on the first day after returning from vacation still needs more people. "Suddenly realized, Hizu, I haven't seen you for months."

Hinata Hinata saluted, "Please bear in mind, that's because my affairs can be done without having to discuss them together with everyone."

"Yes, as long as there are no financial problems, logistics is really easy." Minato smiled, "By the way, how is Hizashi doing lately? I don't see him coming to chat with me anymore."

"You were really busy last year." Hizashi said no more nonsense. He looked at the already covered desktop, hesitated for a moment, and put the documents in his hand at Minato's feet. "The top ones are some financial reports. Although the Chief of General Staff has If the instructions are issued, but a large amount of money is involved, it is best to add your signature when you have time; the lower part is the latest interior decoration drawing of the new Hokage Building, although it is almost completed, there is still room for changes."

"Okay, I understand." Minato always felt that he smelled a sour smell from Hinata and Hiashi, but compared to Hiashi, Hizashi was indeed cuter.

"The subordinate resigned." Hinata and Hizu rolled his eyes as if he was greeting the others.

"He really left easily. He knew you were coming back from sick, Minato, but he didn't know how to care about you." Nara Shikaku closed the door and muttered.

But the second person the Hokage asked was Aburame Zhiwei.

"Everything in the security department is running normally, so there's nothing to worry about." Aburame Zhiwei replied, "I don't have anything here that I need the Hokage to solve for me."

"Yeah." Minato nodded and winked at Zhiwei, who simply left.

"Can that Aburame guy really take on the security mission of Konoha Minato?" Nara Shikaku continued to think casually as he saw Zhiwei walking away.

Minato still ignored him, "Genma, go to the lounge and wait for me. I'll ask you something later."

"Ah, okay." Genma originally had a lot to say, but feeling the strange atmosphere between the Hokage and the Minister of Intelligence, he obediently opened the door and closed the door, and hid in the lounge.

Finally, Nara Shikaku was the only one in front of Minato.

"Minato, how was your rest this time." Shikaku observed Naruto carefully.I have gained a little weight, I am not as haggard as I was a few years ago, and I feel a little more at ease.

"I'm fine. How are you? Although there hasn't been a sudden cold this year, it still has an impact on the injury on your forehead." Minato didn't like the way Shikaku looked at him now, as if he wouldn't be reconciled until he found some holes and patches. He said, "How about you take some time off? I guess this year won't be too busy."

"Let's see the opportunity." Shikaku didn't say anything. Hinata just did her own thing, Genma was only loyal to Minato, Aburame Zhiwei had a bad relationship with him, and Dingza was unreliable.And he, Uchiha Fugaku, was still there, so Minato had to count on him to contain Fugaku. Now that Fugaku was dead, he was the one who needed to be contained.Originally, he thought it would be better to work for a few more years for the sake of his family and children.But looking at Minato's attitude today, maybe it's not a bad thing to retire from the army and invest in Haiyi's flower shop. "There is nothing to worry about here in the Intelligence Department. Even if you are on vacation, you will not give up reading intelligence every day."

"Of course." Naruto tapped on the table, "By the way, I'm going to give Shikamaru a special promotion."

Shikaku frowned, "Three generations"

Minato had to say that it was convenient to talk to smart people.

"If you have a jounin in the team, you don't need a jounin mentor. What are you going to do with Sarutobi Asuma?" Shikaku touched the old scar on his head.

"Kakashi is going to practice, and I need someone by my side."

"But if you keep Asuma by your side, the Sandaime will still be able to do whatever he is supposed to do." Shikaku seemed to really feel the pain of his old scar again, "Besides, the Sandaime can't do anything to you now, right? .”

Minato stretched out his slender fingers and flicked the document in front of him, "That's not what the report you wrote to me said. It's placed at the top of the Intelligence Department's documents today. I don't even think I can see it."

"Such an unexpected incident happened during your vacation." Shikaku sighed, "You still want to see a cockroach report in the Konoha cafeteria."

"Ha, it proves that I can really take it easy this year."

"It's better to take it easy." Lu Jiu was almost speechless.

Minato had nothing to say.

Shikaku excuses himself.

Minato sighed, "Genma, Genma."

After several calls, Xuanjian still did not come out of the lounge. Instead, two thin snores in the lounge became more regular.Minato shrugged, eating walnuts and reading the papers.It took a while before I remembered to pour myself a glass of water and stretch my arms.As soon as he moved, he saw little Kakashi standing underneath the large floor-to-ceiling window.Minato waved to Kakashi, and Kakashi waved to him before carrying a small bundle and walking out of the village.

Minato frowned, but his mood felt better somehow.

And when Minato is in a good mood, someone is in a bad mood.

Hokage Building, Office of the Minister of Intelligence

As soon as Nara Shikaku came back, he was blocked at the door by the elder Mito Kaden. He looked at his house number in an exaggerated manner, "What are you doing blocking the door? I thought I went to the General Staff by mistake."

"No, you made the right move." Mito Katoyan has never liked Nara Shikaku, or in other words, he doesn't like anyone who does intelligence.But now in the center of Konoha, besides Hinata and Hinashi, Shikaku is already the one who is most familiar with and has the best relationship with him.

"Oh, then you're on the wrong track." Lu Jiu also doesn't like Men Yan. He would rather fight with smart people than talk to fools. Who would like people who are straightforward and don't like themselves.

But Men Yan was extra circuitous today, "I've always heard everyone say that your Shikamaru may have done something."

"Thank you for the compliment." Lu Jiu smiled, "You are asking for my son to help Xuanjian at the General Staff. If you want to recruit him, just talk to Xuanjian directly."

"Okay." Men Yan regretted going around in circles. He couldn't beat Lu Jiu in going around in circles, but who allowed him to take the title of an elder, "Xiao Lu Jiu."

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Shikaku thought for a while, but still let Mito Kadoyan in, moving a chair and pouring water without showing any courtesy.

The inflammation of the door became normal again, "I'm here for little Minato. First, I care about his body and ask about his health. Second, I know that the quarrel between the third generation and me can't be hidden from you, so I ask about Minato's attitude."

Shikaku also answered directly, "One, Minato rested well. Two, he has no attitude towards the Third Generation. That's it."

"Shikaku." Of course Men Yan heard Shikaku's perfunctory and refusal, he persuaded, "I will express my position on this matter, I stand with Minato, I"

"You can go and talk to him directly." Shikaku interrupted Mito Menyan.

"Okay." Men Yan gritted his teeth, "I'm here for the third generation."

Shikaku finally sat up straighter, "Hey, I'm all ears."

"Can Minato evacuate all the ANBU outside Sarutobi's house?" Kado Yan risked his life, "The fourth generation surrounded the third generation's house as soon as he came back. What a big deal, the third generation's mouth is indeed damaged, but it's not That’s all.”

"How often does the third generation point at the fourth generation and scold him? You see when Minato has ever been angry." Shikaku pressed the old scar, "It's not about this at all."

Mito Kadoyan shook his hands.

"The third generation buried a nail at the General Staff." Shikaku's head hurt. "You can bury it if you want, but the current Hokage's whereabouts are so easy to spy on. Ask the third generation, if he is in office, Minato will secretly monitor him. Dong Xiang, what kind of crime is this?”

"It amounts to an intention to rebel."

"Do you still want to persuade me?"

Persuasion is always harder than understanding
