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

Konoha 62

Fire Country Konoha Hokage Studio

Office of the Minister of Security

"What's going on with Yamashiro Aoba? I feel embarrassed and embarrassed to see people. I understand. But how long have you been hiding? Everyone is paying attention to the performance of the genin in the Chunin Exam. Who cares about him crying?" Nara Shikaku was a little worried. Crazy, he has been busy these days with things in Yuying Village. I sent letters and telegrams, but they all fell silent and no one responded.Originally, the nail there still carried the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God, but even Minato said he couldn't sense it anymore.If you send people to infiltrate again, I will be polite to you. If you don't come in, they will fight tooth and nail. If you don't want to start a war, Konoha really can't start a conflict casually.As for the dark side, go with the merchants who come frequently. Once the merchants and information ninjas went in, they never came out again. Now the entire Yu Ninja Village seems to have shrunk into a huge turtle shell. What happened? Who are the people outside? do not know either.

"Don't worry yet." Aburame Zhiwei was embarrassed by being blocked in the office by Shikaku, "But the Rain Ninja Village is really funny, I don't know what they are thinking."

"How about you go and persuade Yamashiro Aoba?" It is of course possible to ask other departments to cooperate with the Hokage Order, but it is really not as effective as communicating directly with the department leaders.Lu Jiu needs to use the nails in the hands of outside intelligence. He knows that there are many hidden informants around the world.The information about Orochimaru came from there first last time. He and Zhiwei had made a bet and lost miserably. "There are so many things waiting for Aoba to do."

Aburame Shiwei couldn't answer. According to common sense, Aoba was his former subordinate and his successor, but, "I don't know where Aoba is at all. Why don't you ask the fourth generation for help."

"He asked me to find you. He said that Tang Country is your old unit. You have only been back for half a year. You should still be able to command with the Hokage Order."

"Oh, you told me to ask for my help."

"Aburame Zhiwei, I'm talking to you about very important business, can you please stop being emotional?"

"You obviously came to me with your emotions."

""Nara Shikaku missed Uchiha Fugaku again. If time could go back again, I really wanted to have a drink with him.

"" Zhiwei knew that he should tide over the difficulties together with Lu Jiu, but he was not very confident about whether he could really command the people on the outside.Many people on the outside don't know that they are actually serving Konoha. As the person in charge, he leads the overall situation and sets the direction. The only people he really contacts are Aoba and Aoba's subordinates. "Hey, Ding Zao came just in time, eh. You can help ask Yondaime Aoba later, but we always get scolded back when we ask."

"" Akimichi Dingza, who was passing by, put down the snacks he brought for Zhiwei and silently went upstairs.He hated the double spiral staircase that connected several ministerial offices.The departments are no longer on the same floor, but it is actually easier to meet each other than in the old Hokage Building.As for Yamashiro Aoba, where is he in the dungeon now? In their ANBU dungeon.It's just that why Yamashiro Aoba was imprisoned by the fourth generation, why he was not interrogated or asked why after being imprisoned, he always felt that Minato deliberately ignored Aoba, and he, the dark minister, didn't know.As soon as he took office, he promised that he would be ignored by the two Uchiha below, and he had no interest in fighting for power with the children, but it was really uncomfortable to feel that everything should be known but was being concealed.especially

Hokage's office, lunch break

The atmosphere was very harmonious. The ANBU and the guards said that Naruto Uzumaki was still an eyesore, but they had to admit that since Master Naruto was born, in addition to the quarrels, sarcasm, and endless silence in meetings, there can also be normal laughter in the Hokage's office. .

But Akimichi Tingzao feels more and more redundant.Different from how he and Minato showed each other, it was not that they had no grudges. On April [-]st, after Minato had an emotional breakdown and argued with him and Zhiwei, there was still a layer of separation between them.Although Minato still trusted him and Zhiwei with his life, he could no longer touch them.

Yes, it was out of reach. He wanted to massage Captain Minato's shoulders and cervical vertebrae or apply plaster like before, but he was subconsciously avoided.

A ninja has been trained since he was a child. Even an ordinary genin has a very high body sensitivity.Coupled with year-round missions and even wars, when you are in an environment where enemies may appear anytime and anywhere for a long time, you will be even more sensitive.Many people after leaving the battlefield find it difficult to accept that someone is standing behind them.If you casually appear behind a ninja without saying hello, be prepared to be attacked.

So many times, ANBU who have just joined the Hokage Guards will be very uncomfortable and feel embarrassed and disgusting.Because in addition to being guards, they also have to do a lot of chores for the Hokage, such as helping to wash the dishes, make the bed, and even massage and blow dry the hair and wash the feet. In addition to Captain Minato, who really needs to be taken care of carefully in the past two years, there are two ninjas. It is a very convenient and quick way to cultivate mutual trust between levels.When Naruto becomes familiar with your presence and aura in all aspects of life, you can stand behind him and not be killed by the golden flash of light that is not awake, and Naruto can sleep peacefully surrounded by you.

And being subconsciously refused to get close, if time could be turned back, even if it was news of Naruto's death, Ding Zao would have to bite the bullet and tell Minato.They had known each other for more than 30 years, but they lost trust just because of one concealment. It was clear that their original intention was to make Minato feel more relaxed. "I originally bought two portions of your half-cooked cheese. When I went upstairs, I met Zhiwei and gave him one."

"Okay, thank you." Minato himself was very depressed.He swore that he trusted Zhiwei and Ding Zao. He knew that everyone was doing it for his own good, and he appreciated it. However, the subconscious mind of a ninja was so strange. When it came to deception, Kakashi couldn't even explain how well-intentioned people had deceived them. He had never had such a neurotic reaction no matter how many times he said it, "Cheese is indeed the power."

"Yes, yes." Ding Zuo was chatting awkwardly with Minato. He knew that Captain Minato now asked him to bring snacks three times a day and eat them all to show him 100% trust. A man who has experienced it countless times The assassination ninja is willing to eat your food without being verified by the guards, which is enough to show trust.But, given his relationship with Captain Minato, why did he feel so awkward.

"Yes, cheese is really delicious." Naruto liked his father's little change.Snacks may not make you healthy, but after all, you don’t just think about work and work every day.

"Let's try the salted peanuts made by my wife tomorrow." Akimichi Tingza looked at Uzumaki Naruto standing quietly in the corner wearing a mask.It feels like time is really fleeting. Not only is Captain Minato getting older, but so is he.In his mind, Naruto should be a noisy child who is always jumping up and down. Kakashi catches him and can't do anything to him. As a result, he can no longer look like the naughty child he used to be.

"Why do you keep looking at me?" Naruto couldn't bear the stare, "Yondaime-sama, I told you that wearing a Chuunin uniform and an Anbu mask is stupid."

"Intern, ANBU Akimichi Choza is your immediate boss."

"Sorry, Anbu-sama, intern 012607 sends you his regards."

Ding Zao returned the greeting, "Intern 012607, that's what ANBU interns are like."

Naruto's true colors were revealed instantly, "I'm lying, I've asked about it, but I've never been dressed like this before."

"It's been there since you." Minato dug into the cheesecake with a small spoon, turned around and uncovered Naruto's mask, and gave his son a big mouthful, "Dear Uzumaki Naruto Chuunin, congratulations on making history."

"What kind of history is this?" Naruto muttered as he ate the cake.

"Why, it's okay to finally get impatient. If you feel bored, just talk to your boss." Minato poked his son's belly, then smiled at Ding Zao, "Wait until Naruto stays in the office for a few more days, it will be fresh. It's over, Minister An, if you ask him to sweep the streets, he'll just do it.

Xingxing is gone, do you believe it?"

"I believe it." Ding Zao winked at Naruto.

Naruto couldn't do anything to his immediate boss, but he dared to glare at his father, "Hurry up and finish your cheese and close your eyes for five minutes. You don't have a lunch break today. There was a meeting, and you actually had a ten-minute meeting with four Kage. God will."

Dingzuo also advised, "You guys can't agree on the bottom line and leave it to the people below to waffle."

"If the four villages talk together, the bottom line will change at any time, okay." Naruto forgot who his immediate boss was, "And Uncle Dingzao, do you really think the deputies around these four Kage can be used to negotiate?" "

Dingzuo was speechless.

Minato sighed, he didn't like talking about politics with Naruto because he found that Naruto easily understood what he was saying.But Naruto showed a very keen interest in it, and would occasionally exchange his superficial observations with Asuma, who was a good player.

"That's right." Naruto clapped his fingers, "Forget about our Kakashi, there's Maki behind Gaara, Ao behind the Mizukage, and Darui behind the Raikage."

"Only one eye is exposed." Minato quickly interrupted. On the seventh day after appointing his son as a trainee assistant, he actually regretted it and wanted to hit the wall.He felt that his son seemed to have misunderstood something. He really just wanted to keep his son close to him for protection.If the Rain Ninja Village or Akatsuki dare to arrest his son, it proves that they need Naruto. I don't know what they are doing specifically, but after doing such a risky thing, they are definitely not willing to give up. "Yes, they are all disabled with one eye. .”

"Hey" Naruto was still very young and immediately pulled out the information of three people and said, "Really."

"Yeah, right, it's interesting." Minato looked at his watch. There were still 7 minutes until the meeting started, so don't sleep for those 5 minutes. "I'm going to wash my face, and Naruto will wake Kakashi up."

"Yes, Yondaime-sama." Naruto completely forgot about the negotiation, opened the small refrigerator, took out a cube of ice, put it in a glass and went to the lounge.The lounge became larger and only had one bed, so he temporarily slept with his father at night.However, this bed is now occupied by Kakashi, who has not taken off his shoes or changed his clothes and is dirty. "Get up, you useless guy. It's just a morning meeting. My father slept for 5 hours yesterday." Why don't you throw yourself on the bed when you come back like this?"

But Kakashi still couldn't open his eyes as he felt the sub-zero glass.

Listening to Naruto's roar and Kakashi's struggle, Ding Zao followed into the bathroom.

"busy"

Ding Zao handed the towel to Minato, feeling the Hokage stiffen for a moment, and suddenly wanted to cry, "Shikaku and Zhiwei asked me to help ask."

"You two are such adults, can't you solve anything by yourself?"

"What on earth did Qingye do? You always have to give him an explanation if you keep him locked up." Ding Zuo probed.

"Let me forget that name for now. I'll say it again. Don't mention him before the end of the negotiation and the end of the Chuunin exam." Minato put down the towel and clenched his fists tightly, "You saw Ding Zao. I'm not what I thought. Strong and tenacious, I also have a lot of things that I can't accept. Things have nothing to do with the overall situation, and I don't have to explain it to you. I just hope you can believe me, and don't remind me of him now, I need a clear mind for Konoha at the negotiating table Strive for benefits.”

Ding Zao watched Minato pinch the bleeding palm and took out a band-aid.

"Have you forgotten, I actually don't need this thing."

Ding Zao firmly attached it to Minato carefully. He didn't understand why Aoba, a good mountain city, was suddenly not allowed to mention it. But trust, okay trust.

So, on the tenth day, No. 11, and No. 12, in the ANBU prison, Aoba and Obito were still scratching and picking at the walls.

"Hey, I'm so bored. Obito, let's chat with me."

Obito walked around in circles in the small prison. It had been twelve days, and he still didn't know what was happening outside.Except for Qingye from the mountain city opposite, no one talked to him, no one asked him questions, and he came to deliver three meals a day but he didn't want to eat or was hungry.Even the guard who had dozed off at first had disappeared. The entire basement was dark, except for the light above his head, which was so dim that it was almost extinguished.The surroundings were too quiet, unlike Konoha.In Obito's memory, Konoha was noisy and would always be noisy.

"Don't hang around without chatting." Yamashiro Aoba took his time, because removing the guards, lowering the lights, blocking the sound, and ignoring people were the ANBU's interrogation techniques.Humans are social animals, whether they are good or bad, they have the desire to communicate with others when they are alive. If no one talks, they have to look at the stone and talk to themselves.Therefore, it is easy to ask questions when people are imprisoned until they are about to collapse.And put two people in two opposite cells, so that they can see each other

Of course Uchiha Obito also understands this truth. Shunshen Shisui asked him for two days but he didn't find out why. This is another trick.He has long been no longer afraid of being alone, and he can't help but talk to Qingye, because who knows where someone is observing him and Qingye.Well, he can hold on for another ten days and a half, no problem.

But Aoba had to think about himself.To be honest, Obito's body really doesn't have much time left.He also wants to rely on this body to do a few important things that will leave a name in history. If he has been locked underground for another three to five days, it will be fine. If it is really a month or two, who knows whether Obito's body will survive. Weaker.So if you don't speak or admit it, then don't blame him for being ruthless, "Yuanye Lin is a bitch."

"" Obito really didn't expect that Yamashiro Aoba would still be such a mean person after so many years.

"Harano Rin likes Kakashi, but she has been deliberately consuming you." Aoba felt that Obito would be very interesting to hear such words coming from his mouth, "Yes, Uchiha Obito, you are That girl kept her own spare tire."

Obito forced himself to pretend that he couldn't hear. He had to think about how Yamashiro Aoba escaped. Yamashiro Aoba shouldn't be able to escape from the base. He shouldn't.

"Why do I have to keep you as a spare tire?" Aoba couldn't bear it. Of course, it was not for Obito, but for Harano Lin.Lin was only 12 years old when she died. She mustered up great courage to sacrifice her life for Konoha. In any case, she was a hero who should be revered and remembered.He shouldn't have been arranged like this by his low character, even though the girl liked Kakashi, she didn't reject Obito at the same time.But she was just a very, very young girl at that time, and even love had just begun to develop.How could she really think so much?

Therefore, it is obviously Obito who is at fault. If the idiot Obito is willing to take his eyes away from Lin who treats everyone the same except Kakashi, and turns his head slightly, he will see several girls watching him silently. .It's just that those girls are not as good-looking as Lin, not as dazzling as Lin, not as popular as Lin, who can organize everyone to celebrate for Kakashi with just one call.Ordinary girls will only give you an ordinary look. Since you don't mean it, someone else is chasing you, "Because Lin knows that Kakashi is actually not interested in her at all, but boys are always a little inexplicable." Lin brought her own sense of competition to her door. It’s fine if Kakashi doesn’t want it, but you can’t take it from her. Do you understand, you are the little cannon fodder Lin specially brought here to chase Kakashi~”

"You..." Obito doesn't understand why Yamashiro Aoye can be so shameless. Well, Aoye has not liked Lin since he was a child. It's better not to like it than Aoye also likes Lin. But, why insult Lin like this, " Yamashiro Aoba, you are looking for death."

Seeking death does not mean dying in vain

Tomorrow is October 62, 4 in Konoha
