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

Konoha 61

New Hokage Studio, 08:30 am

Brand new Hokage office

"What happened to Yu Ninja this year? He was the closest and the last to come." Intelligence Minister Nara Shikaku said in a low voice, "It's suspicious."

"It's because other villages came early. In previous years, they didn't always arrive three or four days in advance. And if there is really a problem, the nails you put in the rain ninja will give you an early warning." Security Minister Aburame Zhiwei's voice was deeper than Shikaku's. “The Ministry of Intelligence spends a huge amount of its budget every year”

"Younv Zhiwei, I'm discussing the issue seriously, don't give me any weirdoes. You haven't made a good financial budget. If you think you don't have enough money, that's your own business. How much money did you and the fourth generation approve for me here? It doesn’t matter at all.”

"Nara Shikaku, don't be so weird. I'm just telling you a fact. Don't be so sensitive all the time."

"I am sensitive and responsible, but you are the one, tsk tsk. There are so many foreign ninjas in Konoha now, including genin, leading jounin, jinchūriki, and a bunch of people who are clearly chuunin and jounin. It's a genin. Please figure it out, how can your security department do its job without our intelligence department being stronger and more sensitive."

"Yes, thank you."

"Aburame Zhiwei"

", sting, sting, sting, sting." Konoha Chief of Staff Shiranui Genma, who never spoke when his seniors quarreled, suddenly let out a harsh electric sound.

"Genma, keep the microphone away from the speaker." Ancho Akimichi Tingza's voice was also lower than normal, "Yondaime, I think we should continue to have face-to-face meetings in your office for the time being. This video intercom system always There are all kinds of situations. Black screen, disconnection, sound delay, and especially, sound distortion."

"Sorry, we don't have enough experience. After all, this is the first time to do this. I need more time to debug it." Logistics Minister Hinata Hiashi quickly came out to take responsibility, but his voice was much higher than usual, which made his apology more like It was a provocation, "I'm sorry again, it's just a change in tone caused by voice distortion. I didn't mean to target anyone at all."

""But seeing your long black face on the screen, I always feel that the next sentence you are going to say is that everyone sitting here is trash.

"So it's better to try more to find the problem as early as possible, right?" Namikaze Minato was very troubled. He liked this convenient remote conference system and didn't want to go back to having all the high-level officials of Konoha standing in front of him every morning. days.Although others were standing and he was sitting, a group of subordinates were standing seriously, so he had to sit upright. There was indeed a small conference room, but for a simple meeting in the morning, perhaps one person could not say a few words. There is really no need to go to the conference room specifically for the meeting. "In short, I am still satisfied with your work, Hinata. And everyone, please remember that this system is not only for holding regular meetings, it also has more important function"

"Stab La La Zi."

"I'm sorry, Yondaime-sama." Genma was in a hurry on the screen. He didn't understand why there was still a sound of electricity even after holding the microphone so far away. "I think someone from the logistics department should help me look at the thorns. "

"Today's regular meeting will be here first. For those who think there is something wrong with Yu Ninja, you two can meet and argue later. Anyway, you are close." After saying that, Minato quickly turned off the communication monitor.He originally thought that the most unpleasant thing in the world was when the teacher from the Ninja School used chalk to scratch the blackboard in class. Now he knew that he was wrong. Scratching the blackboard would only give him a toothache for a moment, but listening to the sound for a second made his heart hurt.However, looking at the screen on the left, he liked it more and more.

However, Sarutobi Asuma, who came over with a pile of documents, just felt that there was one more thing to wipe before going to work every day.The layout of the new Hokage's office is almost the same as the old one. The circular structure is divided into two parts by cutting out the elevator in the middle.Facing the Hokage Rock is the lounge, and facing the Konoha gate is the office. The Hokage still has his back against the large floor-to-ceiling windows, but the area, the area of ​​the floor that needs to be wiped is doubled compared to the old one, and what's even more frightening is the glass that needs to be wiped. It is five to six times that of the previous one. Why does the new Hokage Tower have so much glass?

Minato loved the glass of the new Hokage Tower.Gaara hadn't observed carefully enough that day. The outer corridor of the Hokage Building was not completely visible from the bottom to the top. The circle outside his office was one-way. He could see the bottom, but he couldn't be seen from the bottom.And it's not a corridor, it's two semicircular enclosed glass balconies.The logistics helped him put a lot of green plants and sofas and tables inside, and the Hokage's office finally had a place to receive guests.

While entering from the office, I have a semi-private and semi-official tea with the visitor to discuss things. Many things will be much easier to talk about. Even if we can't reach an agreement, we can even break the outer glass and go out to beat it and continue talking. Although the glass is not cheap, it is broken. Replacing one piece with another is better than affecting the safety of the entire building if the outer wall of the old Hokage Building is cracked.

While entering from the lounge, it belongs to the Hokage's private territory. If you are in a bad mood and don't want to see anyone anymore, you can just close the door and be alone for a while. Upstairs is the ANBU's office, and downstairs is the lounge for the ANBU on duty. , he no longer has to be surrounded by ANBU and guards at all times, and he has to bear it until he breaks down emotionally to find an opportunity.

But glass, a whole circle of glass four generations. Do you know how troublesome it is to keep so much glass clean and tidy every day? Asuma looked at the loving eyes of the Hokage on the glass and he didn't dare to resign. The ruins of the capital and the guardian shinobi back then, He was not imprisoned in prison for reform through labor because the fourth generation did it for the sake of his third-generation father.Now the fourth generation finally gave him another chance. If he dared to resign because he was tired, he would be embarrassed.Fortunately, he is getting married soon. Once he gets married, he doesn't need to use contraception. It's best to get pregnant and have a baby in the second month of marriage.In this way, when Hong takes maternity leave, he can also take maternity leave with his wife.At that time, you can mention the transfer, transfer the job, and transfer to wherever you want.

"Hey, Asuma, why are you gnashing your teeth like this all of a sudden?" Minato glanced at the documents from various departments sent by Asuma. Some of them were casually read and quickly approved, and some were kept. "These, send them away."

"Yes, sir." Asma picked up the document and silently walked down. Outside the central elevator, there are two spiral staircases leading to each floor. One can only go up, and the other can only go down. It is specially designed for each department. The staff came and went, and I ran up and down hundreds of times a day. I felt dizzy and my legs were thin.

Of course Minato was also satisfied with those two stairs.The old Hokage Tower's security relies on secret passages, which are full of twists and turns and don't know where to go. Outsiders will get lost when they come in, but there are more safe blind spots where people can be hidden.And the structure is complicated. Whether it's wiring or sewer pipes, sometimes if something breaks, you don't know where it is, so you have to build another pipe outside the building.As for the new Hokage Building, each department was divided into one floor, and a leisure area was built on the floor that no one wanted. The staff walked in the inner circle, and the guests walked in the glass corridor. He couldn't believe that outsiders could come in and plot evil.The same goes for the water supply, sewage and air-conditioning electrical systems. The stairs around the elevator go straight up and down. He wanted to see if the toilet would be blocked. "Kakashi, did you forget to bring toilet paper for 20 minutes? You dropped it in the toilet." "?"

Just hearing the sound of running water, followed by the sound of washing hands, the sound of opening and closing the door, Kakashi opened the door and came out of the lounge.

Minato looked at the red forehead protector mark on the back of Kakashi's hand and sighed, "I sat on the toilet and fell asleep so early in the morning. Forget it, take back all the multiple shadow clones, and let's put aside the D-level missions for now. , we’ll talk about it after we’re busy with the Chuunin Exams.”

"Yeah." Kakashi finally breathed a sigh of relief.These days, he has begun to be assigned government affairs by his teacher. It is not just simple classification and running errands like when he was the captain of the guard. He is really trying to read a lot of documents and information, analyze and solve problems, or hold and participate in various meetings, and communicate with others. Various departments communicated, persuaded, and quarreled with each other, and then made a decision that he didn't even know was right or wrong, and waited for the result in anxiety.This puts a lot of pressure on Kakashi

big.If documents and meetings are not a very friendly job for the teacher, it is eternal torture for him. If they are like this, we will be like that, and if they are like that, we will be like this.In short, possibilities will extend to countless possibilities, and countless possibilities will have countless response plans, and each plan will have endless trivial details in an infinite loop.

But this is the fundamental reason why Konoha has been walking on thin ice every time in these years, as if it will fail and turn into ruins in the next second, but it has become the biggest winner again and again.Namikaze Minato didn't know whether Kakashi was enlightened, and he was still not sure whether Kakashi could become a qualified Hokage. Well, he didn't have extravagant expectations for a good Hokage, he just wanted to be qualified.After all, he always couldn't keep up with the changes in his plans. If he could find someone who could do it well, if it was too late, it would be worse than Kakashi. At least Kakashi could fight the Raikage head-on now, "If you can't hold on any longer, just say something." Kakashi, although the teacher is also very tired, and I often feel uncomfortable here and there recently, but if I can hold on for another six or five years, there should be no problem for another three years."

Kakashi knew that the teacher was provoking him, but he was motivated by this, even though he really had no confidence in becoming a qualified Hokage.

"Report."

"Enter."

"The Security Department said that the rain ninja people are approaching the gate of Konoha. Do you need to greet them?" Asuma came back holding the new document.

"Kakashi, go and take a closer look to see if there are any more abnormalities." Minato threw a piece of candy to Kakashi, "Since the intelligence side has concerns."

"Yes." Kakashi ate the candy casually and became completely energetic, "Teacher, this candy is poisonous."

"It's just the mustard mint with a little chili added." Minato watched Kakashi almost jump out of the door, and sighed again, "Asuma, move out the small writing desk in the lounge."

"What?" Asuma asked as he moved the table out.

"Put it over there."

Asuma followed the Hokage's instructions and placed the table five steps away from the elevator door.

"Facing me head on."

Asuma turned.

"Bring out the chairs too."

"Oh." Asuma felt excited. Could it be that the Hokage finally found out that he had been standing for more than ten hours a day and was going to prepare a seat for him. But it was too conspicuous in the office. According to the rules, the Hokage's office is There cannot be a seat for a second person.

"Yeah." Minato nodded. Although the Hokage's office represents the Hokage's majesty, it shouldn't be too much to choose a chair for the Hokage. After all, if you study documents carefully, you have to write, and you can't always stand while writing. "Now, go call the logistics. Set up a dedicated phone line for Kakashi and give him a separate number."

"Ah Kakashi, oh." Asuma immediately put his shoulders down and stepped heavily, "I know, I'll go right away."

Minato watched Asuma getting heavier and heavier and decided to let him go home early today.Kakashi's political sensitivity is not high, but Asuma is really good, so he can't use this person to death yet, but if Kakashi wants to use him, he should cultivate his comradeship first.

"Hey, I have to write it down quickly." Minato held up the photo of Kinai who was accidentally brought down by him, and then wrote quickly in his notebook. He never remembered all his thoughts in such detail before, but his memory is obviously better this year. It's not as good as before, "Qinai, age is really hard to say."

"Hehehe, age is really hard to say. You are actually 51 years old."

Fire Country Konoha, electronics store

The store owner has been very impressed by a white-haired Jounin of Konoha recently, and his affection has grown day by day, because this guy has bought back a lot of things every now and then for more than half a month.From the latest large color TVs to medium-sized microwaves and rice cookers, as well as small electric fans, baby warmers, etc., you will resist taking away whatever you like, only take the most expensive ones and never bargain, especially if you are single. , "No, you are at most 35. Look at me, I'm only 42."

"That's because the Konoha ninja uniform makes you look younger. If I were wearing casual clothes, I would look 50 years old." Jiraiya looked at the oily man. The big-bellied electrical appliance store owner was really embarrassed to say that my disciple worked so hard all day long, and there was a trace on his face. I have wrinkles but still look like I am 30 years old. This is not because I look old or not, but because of my appearance.

"Oh, what a pity. I have a daughter to be married to. She is as virtuous and beautiful as a flower. She is eighteen years old." The shop owner still didn't believe that Jiraiya was older than him, and he took out a photo of his daughter.

If it were before, Jiraiya really wouldn't mind getting to know a young and beautiful little sister. Even if he didn't develop further, it would still be good to date, go shopping, watch movies and talk.But now, he is really in no mood, "Eh"

"What’s wrong with you."

"I saw an acquaintance."

"Do you know Kakashi-sama? Legend has it that he will be the Fifth Generation." The shopkeeper's eyes lit up again and he quickly handed Jiraiya a photo of his daughter. "Kakashi-sama is not married either. We are all acquaintances. You Please help introduce me."

"Okay." Jiraiya took the photo and turned around. Those rain ninjas had just been sent to the guest house by Kakashi.

The rain ninja in the guest house also noticed Jiraiya's gaze and asked each other, "Did he recognize you?"

"There are millions of people who look alike, so just refuse to admit it. On the other hand, Uchiha Obito, whether he can do it or not."

"He said he could do it."

"Anyway, let's see if he can enter Konoha smoothly tomorrow."

"But take the Raikage and come with him. How can he come here in one night from Yu no Kuni to Konoha?"

Tetsuya Main Store

Raikage arrived on time at the appointed time, and then, guided by the beautiful waitress, he swaggered through the gorgeously decorated hall and the bustling crowds who came to take a bath and relax, and entered the elevator going down to the ground.As a Raikage who came out of the era of melee between several major national ninja villages, he could not imagine that one day he would walk into the stronghold of another ninja village so easily, and do so openly and without any cover-up.Of course, maybe the world really has undergone irreversible changes and is no longer the same as before, as Namikaze Minato said.After all, Konoha has been able to open bathhouses all over the five major countries in the world. The supply points are opened on the roadside and they charge tourists accommodation fees. "You Konoha are arrogant enough."

"Konoha Jonin Mountain Village Aoba is happy to serve you." Obito could only reply.

"Why are you so polite today?" After all, they are so close. This is not the first time that Raikage has dealt with a former guard with golden glitter. In his impression, it is clearly a man with an equally cold face standing behind the cold-faced oil girl. Brother, "Forget it, I won't argue with you, let's hurry up. Your Hokage said that it will take at least 6 hours for the Flying Thunder God to reach Konoha. I hope to have dinner in Konoha."

"Don't worry, I won't let you sleep on the street." Uchiha Obito picked up the big schoolbag on the ground and made seals very seriously, "Please hold on to me, by the way, don't you really plan to soak in the hot springs first? Konoha I approved your entertainment expenses."

"You are also strangely verbose today. Stop talking nonsense and fly quickly."

Fly, brave young man, go create miracles

Tomorrow is March 61, 3 in Konoha. It is an ordinary day.
