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

In short, when Kakashi led his team and suppressed his employer, he finally walked out of the Land of Fire, crossed the ocean and came to the Land of Water calmly, who would remember time?

"Grandpa Tatsuna." Naruto, who had become familiar with his employer along the way, asked on behalf of the team. They really didn't want to ask the teacher who didn't tell the truth anymore, "Why don't we just take a boat to the Land of Waves? We have to make a big detour from the Kingdom of Water.”

Engineer Mr. Dazuna is actually more curious about this question than Naruto, but now he can only make a small gesture to Naruto and ask him to ask "Mr. Study Well" who is at the end of the team.

Ever since he saw a certain young man's heroic feat of fighting against a horse that day, this pure intellectual has basically stopped refuting the reputation of Konoha ninjas no matter how good they are. He has been used to watching the unstoppable fighting on the mainland since he was a child. It is impossible for the old man to forget who slaughtered the village overnight without saying a word, not even leaving a baby behind.

"Check" Naruto, who didn't get any prompts, kicked the stones on the roadside in boredom and cursed to himself, okay, just take a detour. Since the employer didn't have any objections, then the ninja who sold himself as a tool would not have such leisure.Even though he had long noticed the increasingly serious face of this increasingly friendly old man.Naruto knew that this man had something on his mind, and he was quite anxious. He had seen too many expressions like this, those guys who came to see his father in a hurry, and the most typical one, his father would always maintain this virtue as long as he was alone.

Sasuke, who was on the side, looked at Naruto who was habitually distracted, and said that he was really a little unwilling to do the mission in a non-alliance area and dare to be so careless. The young master of the Hokage family is really just a young master, and he is not as promising as Sakura.Sasuke looked at Sakura, who had been serious, and his eyes indicated that Sakura could continue to be cautious.

His Uchiha instinct told him that Kakashi was definitely hiding something and there was definitely a conspiracy.Now think about it, there is no such good thing in the world. Even if Naruto is the young master of the Hokage family, he won't have such a wish come true. He just insisted not to do boring D-level tasks anymore. He can take it as soon as he walks in. When he got a suitable C-level mission, he didn't believe that he could let the new genin out of the village so easily by running to the mission hall and making trouble with the person in charge on duty.Moreover, we set off immediately, so time was so tight that we didn’t even see the child care adult come out to see his son off.

So Sasuke wanted to get more and more excited.From time to time, he secretly glanced at Kakashi at the end of the team, his shuriken always ready. He believed that he would encounter something interesting.

It's quite interesting.Occasionally, Qimu Kaka secretly enjoyed himself, slowly turning page by page of the interesting novel in his hand.But the interest is limited to novels.Apart from novels, he feels as if he has grown hair now.

He asked himself, there should be no serious flaws revealed along the way, but how could those three rookie brats be suspicious? This made him have to admit that his dear teacher was right. These batch of people were born after the war. A kid who has been carefully cared for and well-educated since birth is indeed much better in terms of IQ than the guys of his generation who only know how to obey orders and kill people randomly.

So children are the most annoying. Kakashi slandered: Hey, Sasuke-kun, your Sharingan is a serious one. Even if you don't open it, it's still a Sharingan.Sakura, please stop causing trouble. You don't know what you think I did to you.Especially Naruto, don't read it. You always have to peek at the novel during work time and find your father standing behind you. It's a very scary feeling.

So, don't look at me anymore

And the demon Zabuza is waiting for you all the way, so you don’t dare to come, right?

Of course, busy life can always make people forget time

The Kingdom of Fire, the Capital, the Lord's Mansion

bright sun

The young leader of the Country of Fire, who has never been very busy, finally verified this proposition personally.

He was still thinking about how he had just signed the newly concluded economic supplementary treaty between the three countries.But I was very embarrassed to find that I couldn't remember today's date.He wanted to ask whoever he was around him as usual.However, in order to show his majesty as the leader of a great country in the photos taken by reporters from various countries, everyone was removed, leaving him alone facing the various flashing lights that were almost reaching his mouth.

Why did you say it was the flash? Because there was only the flash, and he didn’t need to speak at all. His job was to keep his eyes wide open the moment the flash flashed, so as not to be dazzled.Well, the Hokage said, this is a very technical job, but...

"I'm still a puppet." The king always likes to think about some major issues in life in this kind of situation that has been rehearsed countless times before being shown to others.Unlike the ninjas and ministers who guarded him, he was not afraid of accidents at all.It is not easy to make mistakes through conditioned reflexes, and he is really curious: in the middle of a play, the director suddenly realizes that the leading actor is not what he wants. Will he grit his teeth and continue or start over with someone else?

"The lord."

The young king sighed. He actually didn't want to pay attention to the old guy behind him who was urging him to go back and sign the documents.But the education he received told him not to ignore the gray-haired person. It is really contradictory. Namikaze Minato, my Hokage, what kind of person do you want to educate me to be?

"Master, those documents need your signature as soon as possible. The Hokage said he will use them at the negotiation table."

"I'll hurry up."

But is time really as important as we think?

Country of Fire, Konoha, Memorial Monument

The night is as cool as water

"cough."

"Minato, don't put the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God on the Memorial Monument. You will scare the timid ones to death."

"I thought you didn't believe in ghosts and gods." Namikaze Minato Shiran turned around from behind the commemorative monument and looked at this man who dared to sit in front of the commemorative monument and drink in the middle of the night.

"It's hard to say about gods, but it's not like I've never seen ghosts before." The man hiding in the thick cloak filled the empty glass next to him with wine and handed it to the Hokage who had already arrived in front of him, "Would you like to join us?"

"Why is it so sudden in the middle of the night? Have you changed your mind and applied to return to Konoha?" Namikaze Minato smiled slightly and took the cup, "Come back, Orochimaru-senpai, you can do whatever you want."

"Just call me Orochimaru. Listening to you say honorifics always makes you feel like there's a gust of wind on your back."

Array. "Orochimaru saw that Minato took the cup but had no intention of drinking it, so he also laughed, "Why don't you drink it because you are afraid that I will poison you. "

"Oh, the most you can do is scare this junior, are you really willing to let me die now?" Namikaze Minato shrugged, and gently poured the wine in the glass in front of the commemorative monument like a memorial, but he immediately heard the sound of corroding grass. Hiss

Orochimaru narrowed his pupils, looked at the wine that had been fed to the grass, and then looked at Minato who had a troubled look on his face, still showing a pity expression, "That's good wine."

"Yes, good wine. Let's get down to business." Namikaze Minato said seriously.

Orochimaru, however, continued to pour the wine and said, "I heard that you have been soft on tax collection recently. Could you please consider returning all my money to me?"

"What do you mean your money? That's what you voluntarily put here with me." The Fourth Hokage, who was being called for debt, calmly said, "Besides, you are so shrewd, it's no good that you could just turn around and give me the money back then. Just run away, it’s like I’m just taking money and not doing anything.”

"Hey." Orochimaru was angry, "Putting the money down and running away means that the money is no longer mine. I can't talk to you, and I don't want to say it anymore. I just think that the gold bought you a life." This is it."

"My life is much more valuable than gold, but buying your life is still enough." Namikaze Minato scratched his head, "By the way, the new bounty on me in the underground exchange recently was not released by you, right?"

"I don't have that spare money." Orochimaru stood up with the bottle in his hand and stared directly at Namikaze Minato.

"Okay, let's get down to business." The horrified Hokage looked serious again, "What do you want from me? Tell me quickly. I'm trapped."

Orochimaru was silent for a few seconds. He looked at Minato's eyes. Minato's eyes were as gentle and sincere as ever. Then he looked at Minato's hands. Minato's hands were hanging naturally, very relaxed. He was so relaxed that he was ready to go. Orochimaru twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, "I was just passing by. In fact, you don't need to be too nervous at all. If you feel sleepy, just go back to sleep first without having to accompany me."

"I want to go back to sleep. Do you know the uncomfortable feeling of being woken up suddenly when you are sleeping comfortably, but the security department just said that they found an SS-level wanted criminal. It made me want to get angry. Can’t even send it out.”

Orochimaru looked at the suddenly angry Minato and was speechless for a while, "I am the leader of the sound ninja."

"Even if you are from an allied ninja village, entering Konoha without permission in the middle of the night is troublesome. You should say hello in advance." Minato glanced at the sake bottle in Orochimaru's hand, "And you failed to assassinate the Hokage."

"I told you, that's good wine."

"Okay, it's Haojiu-senpai."

"I told you that you don't need to be so nervous. It won't do any harm other than being woken up and feeling uncomfortable for a while. Just treat it like a military exercise. Why don't you keep complaining that the newcomers are not very responsive?" After saying that, Orochimaru stopped paying attention and wanted to say more. The Hokage was just minding his own business as he walked along the long commemorative monument until he reached the last one before speaking again,

"By the way, Minato, why haven't I found Danzo Shimura even after looking around?"

"Is there such a person in Konoha?" Minato sneered and followed quickly.

"Namikaze Minato" Orochimaru also turned around and sneered, "Are you sure your mental state is normal now?"

"I'm quite normal, it's you who is twisted, admittedly."

"I won't argue with you because you haven't woken up." Orochimaru continued to sneer, "I told you that you don't need to be so nervous. In fact, what I want to do is not without any benefit to you. You understand, and so do I. I never underestimate your ability to grasp timing, so you don’t have to underestimate yourself either.”

"That's not the case at all."

"What's going on? You don't have the right to interfere with my affairs. Jiraiya and Tsunade have never cared about it. Just take care of your people and don't cause trouble with your hot-headedness and good intentions."

"I see that you are just hot-headed and looking for trouble now. Stop making small moves and don't continue to provoke." Minato became really serious this time, "Go back to Konoha and I will reverse the case for you."

"What's your joke? I'm a traitorous ninja."

"That's just a matter of my words."

"It's not what you think at all."

"Don't make things too complicated. If I say you are not a traitor, you are not. Besides, I have evidence to prove that you have made an indelible contribution to the development of Konoha over the years."

"Haha." Orochimaru chuckled.

"What a ghost." Minato became more serious, "There is no irreconcilable conflict in the first place. If you feel embarrassed to return to Konoha, then continue to engage in your Sound Ninja. Konoha needs allies similar to Sound Ninja. It is undeniable that a small village like yours cannot develop without the support of Konoha. We can cooperate better in the future. Is it possible that you really want to start a war with Konoha now? Even with the Kazekage Suna Ninja, you have nothing The odds.”

"Really?" Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, looking up and down at the Hokage who was still ready to go, "But you know very well in your heart, Minato Namikaze, that I am a rebellious ninja."

"Then what are I, the Hokage, doing with you, a rebellious ninja, in the middle of the night?"

""

"Walk slowly without sending."

"Notify the security department not to lift the alarm yet." Namikaze Minato gave the order to the secret guard who had been following him silently, "Where is the third generation now?"

"Security Department." The ANBU quickly handed the cloak in his hand to the Hokage who forgot to wear his coat.

"I want to see him." The Hokage wrapped his cloak tightly around his body. He felt that the wind at the Memorial Monument was indeed colder than elsewhere.

There is truth beneath the lie, so what lies beneath the truth?

Konoha 60 years

end of january

People from the Land of Fire discovered that the snow on the plum blossoms seemed to have disappeared overnight.

It's as baffling as it came.
