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

On April 62, Konoha 4, the light rain turned sunny.

Fire Country Konoha, Konoha Hospital, 8 a.m.

Jiraiya was lying on an ordinary bed in the inpatient department thinking about the operation of the universe, the growth of all things and the meaning of life.His legs, hands, neck and mandible were all in plaster. Although he was not unable to run or move, he still had to be helped by a nurse to eat and go to the toilet. It was so miserable that it could be compared to the time he peeked at Tsunade taking a shower.The only thing that gave him some comfort was that the nurses at Konoha Hospital were getting more and more beautiful.

"Sandaime-sama, you are too cruel." The medical ninja who came to check the ward heard that Jiraiya was admitted to the hospital last night, but he didn't expect that what he saw with his own eyes was even more exaggerated than the legend.

"I'm sorry for causing trouble to the hospital." Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly apologized, "I have never spanked a child in my life. This is the first time. I'm a little unsure of the severity. I'll be fine with it after a few more spanks."

"Haha, give it a few times." Jiraiya wanted to say a few more times and I'll die next time, but the pain on his jaw stopped him from trying to beg for mercy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen rolled his eyes at Jiraiya and continued to explain to the medical ninja, "This Toad Sage Jiraiya is a best-selling author and very rich. He doesn't have to pay public expenses for his medical expenses. He will be treated as if he came from another village for medical treatment." , every penny of our Konoha finances should be spent in a meaningful way. There is no need to give him more medical ninjutsu, just make sure that the bones and muscles will not leave any sequelae in the future, and the rest will be slowly raised with splints on, medical ninjutsu It's quite tight. And the fat he has now, it's better not to feed him too much, it can be reduced by the way. Also, he likes to be rude to little girls and let the nurses come over. Stay away from him and hire some uncles and aunties to help support the family. He will pay three times the salary."

"Yes, Sandaime-sama." The medical ninjas were extremely sympathetic. They really couldn't imagine where Jiraiya had offended his teacher.

"" Jiraiya could only watch helplessly as the nurse walked away from him, feeling hopeless, "Ouch."

Sarutobi Hiruzen withdrew the fist that struck Jiraiya, watched the medical ninja close the door, and turned around.He used to like Jiraiya being funny in front of him, being Hokage, being tough as he was, he also needed to release stress frequently.But looking at Jiraiya now, he still has a big face of indifference despite his age. He hates why he was so naive when he was young. He always thinks that as a teacher, he has the obligation to teach children to become good people.Sunny, kind, loyal, brave, selfless, fair, upright and righteous, Jiraiya has indeed accomplished all of them. He has always been proud of him. But look, what did this unlucky guy do behind his back?

There is nothing wrong with saving the enemy's children, but there is nothing wrong with saving innocent children. There are so many enemy children in Konoha's orphanage that we, the fourth generation Hokage, can't even tell where they come from.It's actually not a big deal whether they are saved, taught or not brought back. Not all children have the talent to become ninjas, and Konoha doesn't accept everyone.But you made your own decision without even saying a word

In a ninja village, there are many ninjas, and all parties have interests, how to manage discipline, discipline, discipline, discipline? What I hate the most is making my own decisions. Was it wrong for White Fang to give up his mission to save his teammates when he was a Hokage candidate? Yes, he is a human and beast who does not even cherish his companions. Not as good as anything.But if we admit that White Fang is right and everyone follows suit, then the task cannot be completed and the war cannot be fought, so we might as well surrender.

This was Jiraiya's mistake.Do you think that the enemy's children are innocent and not enemies? Then are the enemy's genin who are only a few years old also innocent and chunin and not innocent? There are also jounin who are innocent. So if you think the children are innocent, you should take them back to Konoha. That's Konoha. Ye's people are naturally not enemies.If you don't bring it back, it will be saved. Who cares about your kindness?But you taught ninjutsu and raised a child to be a qualified ninja, and yet you still stay in another village without bringing him back without saying a word. What the hell is that?Are you waiting for the child to grow up to kill people in Konoha?

Yesterday, Sarutobi Hiruzen took the monkey demon and questioned Jiraiya like this.He originally thought that Jiraiya would apologize and tell him that he just meant well and didn't think much of it at the time.But look, how did his unlucky disciple explain it to him?

Not bringing them back to Konoha was because the children thought they were rain ninjas. They always had some misunderstandings about Konoha, which destroyed their homeland. They didn't plan to teach ninjutsu, but the three of them were all very talented.Yahiko has leadership qualities and courage, and his talent for the water element is unparalleled.Xiaonan is gentle, cute and smart, and can create her own ninjutsu as soon as she starts learning.There is also Nagato, a descendant of the Uzumaki family. He has a pair of very powerful eyes, even more powerful than the Sharingan. He feels like he has met the prophecy of Toad Sage. I always feel that one of these three people will bring peace to the world. savior.

Even though the front man knew that he was hostile to Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi could assume that Jiraiya was thinking of repaying Konoha's debt, so that he wouldn't be able to stop fighting.But the latter prophecy has long been heard from Jiraiya, the prophecy of the toad ancestors of Mt. Myoboku: "One of your disciples will either bring peace to the world or destroy it."For a while, Jiraiya often ran away under the pretense that he had sensed the son of prophecy.Sarutobi Hiruzen always thought that this was an excuse for his disciple who couldn't stay at home to explain his love of traveling and new things. Damn it, Jiraiya really didn't believe it.

That's right, isn't it always like this? The toad of Miaomu Mountain believed what Jiraiya said, and he did whatever Jiraiya was told to do without any doubts. It was more effective than what he, the Hokage and teacher, could say.By the way, Jiraiya rarely calls himself Konoha Jonin Jiraiya when he goes out. Instead, he often introduces himself as Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Toad Sage from Mt. Myoboku. I used to feel it was awkward, but I really didn’t pay much attention to this issue. Compared with others, Jiraiya's relationship with the psychic beast is really a bit abnormal.

Toad Hiro and Toma Ken and Nidai or Minato, Bankai and Orochimaru, Slug and Tsunade, at first glance, it is the relationship between humans and contracted ninja beasts. Humans call on the ninja beasts to help fight side by side. If the relationship is better, For example, his monkey demon or Kakashi's ninja dog simply brought a Konoha forehead protector and came to Jiraiya with his salary. It happened that Jiraiya took off the Konoha symbol and replaced it with a protector representing Mt. Myoboku. Forehead.

The scroll of Tsunade's psychic slug was found for her by the first teacher.Orochimaru's psychic snake king knows from the name that it is a family contract.As for Jiraiya's psychic beast, Toad, when he was teaching Jiraiya the psychic technique, Jiraiya was sucked there by operating it at will without signing any scrolls.I have never heard of anyone who has not signed a psychic scroll being actively sucked into the fairyland.

So, are Jiraiya’s psychic beasts the toads of Mount Myoboku, or are the psychic beasts of the toads of Mount Myoboku the human Jiraiya?

It really becomes more subtle the more I think about it.

It’s not that Sarutobi Hiruzen Hokage likes to rely on conspiracies and conspiracies in everything he has been doing for a long time. Looking back, I can see why Jiraiya is involved in everything, and many of Jiraiya’s life choices are also related to the Mt. Myoboku. related to prophecies.It was as if a thread had woven a net to trap Jiraiya, and then everything related to Jiraiya was also caught in it.

"Ah, it hurts. Teacher, don't pinch my leg. It's still broken." When the pain in the leg was stronger than the pain in the mouth, Jiraiya said clearly, "Teacher, what were you thinking just now? Why are you looking so solemn?"

"No, it's nothing." Hiruzen Sarutobi took out an apple from the fruit basket and started peeling it, "I'm just laughing at you, Toad Sage. The prophecies are inexplicable and can be both left and right. That's not a mistake." It’s accurate every time.”

"How could Toad Sage's prediction be wrong?" Jiraiya was very moved when he saw his teacher peeling apples for him, but he loved his teacher more than he loved the truth. "And there is indeed one of my disciples who has a single thought. A guy who has the time to bring the world to peace, but who also has the ability to simply destroy the world.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't understand. Was Jiraiya really brainwashed by the toad spirit? "Anyway, if Minato-chan wants to destroy the world one day, I won't be able to stop him. I was counting on you and him." Get close, after all, I dare to ask you to take care of my most important son, but now"

"I actually planned to apologize to Minato this morning." Jiraiya sighed, "If you hadn't beaten me in the hospital, I might have reconciled with my disciples by now.

. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen threw the long apple peel into the trash can, "Let me tell you something, Minato used to be surrounded by many young people, much more than now. Whenever he had a chance, he would call them together, everyone. Cooking pots, eating barbecue and drinking beer. At that time, Minato was quite energetic. Dinners and talking with children did not delay his work all night. Then, eight years ago, Namikaze Minato did two wrong things on impulse. He was Many of the kind and lovely children he taught were hard to understand and could not accept that their most respected Hokage suddenly turned into a big villain. Minato still organized regular dinners, but everyone gradually found various excuses not to come. , Minato changed the dinner to Naruto's birthday or New Year's Day, but there were still very few people who responded. After that, those young people grew up a few years ago, and began to understand Minato's reason and mood for what he did at that time, and wanted to be with him. He sat together to eat and chat, but Minato never invited anyone to his house for dinner again."

""

"Your teacher, I am 70 years old. I have seen many, many children grow up little by little. Some children are like this. They can't see a trivial matter, but they suddenly lose their temper with you. You think they are unreasonable, but you don't know. In the past 30 years, he kept a lot of unhappiness and complaints deep in his heart and never spoke out."

""

"I don't want Minato to be Hokage for too long, not only because of his physical condition, but also because of his sensitive nerves. He is much more fragile than me." Sarutobi Hiruzen touched his pipe and looked at the wall The no-smoking sign on the wall was clicking and chewing on the apple, "I cried when I got the acceptance notice, I cried when I confessed my love to Kinai, I cried after the proposal was successful, I still cried when I took the wedding oath, and I was inaugurated as Hokage. I only shed tears when I came to the stage with great energy. The Hokage is not a hostess, nor is he a Drawing comics and writing novels is a real thing."

""

"To be honest, over the years I have been worried that little Minato would one day lose his nerve and take revenge on society."

Jiraiya looked at the Sandaime teacher's skinny arms covered with age spots and the apple in his hand that was almost like a core. He said with determination, "My Minato will not take revenge on the world. You are overthinking it."

"Then you don't have a disciple who can both save the world and destroy it. The toad in Miaomu Mountain is still talking nonsense."

"" Jiraiya didn't dare to refute anymore. His teacher obviously had strong opinions on Myobokuyama now.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to chew on the apple, "Jiraiya, you are not allowed to take off the Konoha forehead protector from now on. You have to remind yourself who you are all the time. If you remember from beginning to end that you are a Konoha jounin, Laiye, Teacher believes that you will never make mistakes or miss many things."

""

Sarutobi Hiruzen spit out the apple core and pushed the door open to go home, "Just take care of yourself."

Jiraiya looked at the apple core on the table and listened to the slamming of the door. It took him a long time to dare to shout, "Medical Ninja, Medical Ninja, hey, give me some medical scrolls. The third generation said no Ninjutsu is allowed, but he didn't say no." Use a scroll.”

The door creaked open, and the medical scroll was thrown in. Jiraiya counted it, silently calculating whether it would be better to move the legs first, or to restore one leg and one hand first.Although he has great confidence in his disciple and his feelings, Sarutobi-sensei's story is really a bit cautious. After all, the ANBU refused to let him into the Hokage Tower yesterday. I really don't know if it was the ANBU's own initiative. What if it was Minato's personal order? , "Ahem, anyway, let's take Naruto to have a few good meals first."

And the new Hokage Building, Hokage Office

Uzumaki Naruto didn't know that he was lucky yet. He clucked his hind legs like a dreaming dog. He woke up in confusion and looked up to see that it was already 10:[-] in the morning.He quickly jumped up and realized that this was the new Hokage's father's lounge.The tables, chairs, benches, and sofas that he moved around yesterday have been rearranged. There is a big red arrow on the coffee table, pointing to the bar. The new lounge has one more place than the old one where you can directly boil water and heat meals.But Naruto didn't care about the arrow. He opened the door with the lock repaired first, without seeing his father, and then ran into the watery gate with a hiss. He looked at the huge Kyuubi grinning at him irritably. "Ah, Jiu Lama Jiu Lama, you are still here. Have you seen my father?"

"Tsk, ow" the Nine Lamas just wanted to puff out.

Naruto quickly ran out of the watery corridor in his heart. This time he followed the arrow and found the microwave oven hidden in the cupboard. On it was a note written by his father, "This is Naruto's breakfast."

Such a familiar routine, as always.Naruto touched it and it was still warm, so he took it out to eat.A pair of seaweed rice balls are filled with fish floss. The poached eggs are filled with sugar and sprinkled with pepper and salt. The green cauliflower is boiled and mixed with sliced ​​tomatoes and dried mango, and sprinkled with shredded cheese and hazelnuts. And a cup of hot chocolate milk.

Naruto could tell that this was his father's cooking.It’s been a long time since he had breakfast cooked by his father. Yesterday, he clearly wanted to give his embarrassed father a solid chest to rely on, but in the end, he hugged his father and refused to let go. “I don’t know what my father is now.” Not bad."

"He is better than you. He wakes up early in the morning, hums a tune and goes back to make breakfast for you. He eats everything with a smile on his face. He also helps you feed you Shishiwan and shovel your poop."

"Ah, Kakashi, you heartless villain" Naruto opened his mouth and was about to bite.

Kakashi raised his arm to hold Naruto's head, and took out a document bag, "I'm very busy, everyone is very busy, you can go through the procedures yourself, anyway, you have acquaintances in every department. Also, take some time to give Ding Senior Zuohe Zhiwei apologizes."

"No." Naruto bit Kakashi's wrist, "Where's my dad?"

"Negotiation." Kakashi had to shrink his hand, "You are not four years old, Naruto."

"Why don't you go to the meeting with dad."

"This is the shadow clone, please stop chewing cigarettes for me." Kakashi stuffed the bag directly into Naruto's arms, "First go to Yamato to apply for captain, then go to Genma to report, and then go to the logistics Get the equipment.”

"What?" Naruto heard his heart pounding suddenly. He opened the bag regardless of whether it could be opened or not. There was only a thin piece of paper with his photo on it and all his mission records written on it. This was his 's files.

Kakashi couldn't stand Naruto's inexperienced look, "After receiving the equipment from the logistics department, change into your new uniform and tactical vest. Then go to the second floor to find the ANBU internal service captain to receive the ANBU uniform and choose a mask."

"Wait a minute, even the ANBU mask has my share." There are rewards and punishments. Naruto knew that his mission qualifications were enough for promotion, and with yesterday's intelligence, his merits were enough, but Anbu, my father's ANBU, my father Why are you suddenly so open-minded?

"In short, the information you brought back is very useful." Kakashi even felt that he was even more useless in the shadow clone, "Besides, I have an idea of ​​what you did to your father yesterday, and I agreed that you would take care of him. , but in the end I didn’t do anything in the middle of the night, and I didn’t even get enough sleep to coax you. You’re such a big guy in your teens, and you’re still howling with snot and tears just like you were when you were a kid. The sound was so loud that the whole ANBU came to watch you.”

"What does the whole ANBU mean?" Naruto originally felt that after crying, he was filled with positive energy. He wished he could run around the world and shine.

"Shame on you."

"Not lost." Naruto decided to learn from his father. He almost broke off the friendship with Uncle Dingza at noon. When they met at night, it was as if nothing had happened. Uh-huh, whether it's embarrassing or not, being thick-skinned is useful. .

Useful and valuable
