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

Yes, it did get faster, and it was May 5th without doing anything.

Fire Country Konoha, Hokage Tower

Hokage's office, in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows

Uzumaki Naruto was given a jounin uniform.

"Wait a minute, Kakashi, I'm a jounin." Naruto looked at the gray-green and black fishnet vest in his hand, the shoes with leaky toes on his top and pants, and his father's dark green tactical vest, and he went crazy. "It's too fast. Bar"

Kakashi also felt that it was so fast. Like the teacher, he always thought that Naruto was a child, but the rest of the ANBU didn't seem to think so.To be promoted from genin to chunin in Konoha, you have to pass the qualifications and have merit, or you may be spotted by a department boss and want to use you, otherwise you have to take the chunin exam.The process of rising from chunin to jounin is much simpler, just two words: strength and charisma.Specifically, in the process of fighting side by side with the Jonin, you were recognized by them. They want you to become a member of the Konoha Jonin and enjoy the same status and treatment as them.

That's what happened to Naruto. After Pain's battle, the Shadow Bunshin Jutsu combined with the Rasengan and Jinchūriki boosted the ANBU to save him, but Naruto also saved many ANBU who were almost killed by Pain. "You can refuse if it's too soon, but you can't explain it to your dad."

"No, no, no, I don't dislike being fast, I mean." Naruto held on to his uniform tightly and didn't let go, his face flushed, "Actually, it would be nice to be a special, hahaha, it's a bit stressful to jump directly to a jounin, hahaha .”

"Especially if a Jonin is employed by the Hokage or a high-level official in Konoha, he or she is usually bound to certain positions, such as me." Genjian patted Naruto on the shoulder, "And a Jonin is someone who is selected among the Jonin and then taken. Report to the Hokage for approval, just like that Asuma over there. He can take the initiative to take on tasks himself, and the Hokage may not assign them to him."

Naruto felt a little more at ease after being photographed, "So, being a jounin seems to give you more freedom in time. I also have to take care of my father."

"It's not to make it easier for you to take care of your father, but it's because you are recognized by other jounin in Konoha." Akimichi Dingza is no longer the ANBU, but now Shisui is.Shisui took office and took away the original work of the ANBU head, and the ANBU internal support finally changed back to the logistics team responsible for paying wages and benefits, coordinating equipment and supplies, and stationed at the Hokage Tower.Ding Zao's current position is the head of ANBU logistics, "Naruto, be more confident."

"Oh oh oh, okay." Naruto was so frightened by the blink of Ding Zao's huge head that his throat surged. He had to be confident. Yes, he had to be confident. He was recognized by the Jounin of Konoha. But, daddy's little black Don't the black people really look at him differently because he is his father's son?

"Don't worry, the son of the Hokage doesn't have such a big friendship bonus. It's good that the jonins of Konoha are too high-minded and won't bully you." Asuma understood Naruto particularly, "Look at me, the unlucky Uncle Asuma. "

"Hey, Asuma, encourage Naruto to encourage you and don't take advantage of everyone." Shisui took off his mask without putting it on, "Naruto has always called me Anbu big brother."

"You guy, why did you become so lively all of a sudden? And I was right, I called you Brother Jiraiya."

"But I'm two years ahead of you, two and a half years older. When I fought three times, Kakashi was still a chuunin." Shisui knew that he shouldn't quarrel with Asuma. A boring young man having fun, but he couldn't help it.Ever since he jumped into the fast river and became a dead man, it had been a long time since Shisui still liked himself, "Well, you haven't even been on the battlefield."

"Who says I don't have one?" Asuma is not a boring person to quarrel, but standing in the Hokage's office, it feels so empty if he doesn't keep talking, as if he and his group are a few thieves who slipped in and picked the lock while the master was away. of.When the Yondaime just fell ill, he and Kakashi were the only ones in the office all day long. "Okay, okay, the promotion ceremony is over. If you want to talk, go elsewhere. What's the point of standing here."

"Why, I'm thinking about Kakashi's desk." Ding Zuo watched Asuma caressing Kakashi's desk in an exaggerated manner, and he cooperated with her by teasing him.Minato was still alive, and the hospital said that as long as he stopped chewing himself to death, he wouldn't be able to die even if he wanted to with Konoha's medical conditions.But lost is still lost. A towering tree that can be relied on to shelter from wind and rain has suddenly turned into a protective plant that needs to be surrounded by iron railings and a roof and can only be seen. Those who once climbed and played on the tree It's normal for a child to feel empty in his heart, "Give up, Asuma, you just want to be a candidate for Hokage. You are too old. The next Hokage will be chosen from Naruto's generation."

"Yes Asuma, give up. Even if I sit at the teacher's table from now on, I won't give you this small table." Kakashi stood up from his small workstation with a smile and saw off the guests, but He felt that he must be smiling ugly.

That day, when he threw the forehead protector on the Sandaime's face, he was actually ready to follow his teacher and never return to Konoha.The teacher didn't bring the Flying Thunder God communicator, and he also turned off the Flying Thunder God communicator. The teacher didn't take anything with him, but Kakashi brought enough cash.Their Yondaime Hokage, in Konoha, there were people who brought tea and ran errands, and people who made food, beds, and boiled water for bathing. Except for underwear, his clothes were all sent to the logistics department and no one took care of him.

The most important thing is that at that time, the Intelligence Department mobilized all its manpower to find people but could not find Payne.So not only Yamanaka Haiichi and the others, Kakashi also felt that he and the teacher would have to search outside for a while. After all, it was a kidnapping and not a murder on the spot.And didn't Payne say that he was in pain and he wanted the teacher to feel the pain.

In short, Kakashi went crazy and flew Thunder God's jump coordinates all over the world.He also thought that when he found Naruto, Naruto might have been given amnesia potion and became a rebellious ninja, burning, killing, looting and doing all kinds of evil, and his hands were already covered with the blood of Konoha ninjas.Isn’t that what is written in novels? There is nothing more painful in this world than a father and son killing each other.

Kakashi even thought that if he couldn't find a teacher, he would return to Konoha in despair and become the Fifth Hokage for several years. Another terrible enemy appeared in Konoha, and the enemy was a teacher or Naru who sought revenge on Konoha. people.Is there anything more painful in this world than master and disciple turning against each other and killing each other?

As a result, just a few hours later, before he could find the teacher, the matter was over.Kakashi, the always late king, missed the opportunity to rush to the battle as soon as possible because he turned off the Flying Thunder God communicator.By the time he really slipped back to Konoha in despair, the teacher and Naruto were already lying in Konoha Hospital, fast asleep.

As for him, he could only quickly go to the abandoned laboratory to find the forehead protector he had thrown away.His forehead protector was placed on the teacher's neatly folded cloak.

In the end, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen covered half of Lao Gao's swollen face and silently helped him re-tie his forehead protector and teacher's cloak.Without saying anything, he turned to change the dressing.Kakashi has not liked the Sandaime since he was a child, because he was not very good to his father and his teacher.But this time, Kakashi was really sorry.Dr. Ninja, who was also once all-powerful, is actually an old man who has to install dentures if he is touched by a young man.Unlike the teacher who was struck down by illness, this time Kakashi truly experienced aging.

There was also Akimichi Choza who brought him a bowl of hot rice.Kakashi finished his meal and went to return the lunch box. He saw Choci and his mother coming to deliver food to the big eater and help change the dressing.In order to protect the two ANBU, Ding Zao-senpai was hit in the back by the detonating talisman.

And Aburame Zhiwei also had to stay in the hospital for one night.Originally he just lost a lot of bugs and was fine, but then he might have been too excited and sprained his foot.His son Shino applied a foot massage to his father with a look of disgust on his face.

There are many other dark parts.No matter how much Genma and Shisui called on single people to rescue people, there would always be people with their families sneaking in.

There were many more others, and that night, Kakashi patrolled the entire Konoha Hospital with the uninjured Anbu.Children are born, old people die, young people get drunk, and cooks cut their fingers.

Kakashi suddenly understood many things that were different from before.For example, why did the teacher leave alone, and why did the third generation not stop or chase the person? These are not statistics.

"Kakashi"

Kakashi looked up at the security chief, who was still expressionless in small sunglasses and a trench coat. It was hard to imagine that such a person could sprain his feet. "Are your feet feeling better?"

 "Ahem." Zhiwei refused the topic. He opened the folder and put it on Kakashi's desk, "Genma just held a meeting with various departments, and they all said that there are more and more financial matters and they are overwhelmed. , it is necessary to establish a new department.”

"Ministry of Finance"

"First, each department should set up a team responsible for accounts. When there are more people, we can form departments."

"I have no objection." Kakashi silently said I can do it, I can do it, and signed.

Aburame Zhiwei blew dry the ink, "How is your teacher today?"

"Better every day."

"What about you?"

"Keep throwing a tantrum." Kakashi actually smiled.It takes countless lies to hide something, but it only takes a few words to make something clear.Now that it was confirmed that the teacher was going to retire, no one was helping to hide the scrolls or the psychotropic drugs given by Tsunade.Kabuto Yakushi took away the teacher's medicine bottle, and he sealed the teacher's chakra. Without the teacher's clear consent, "And I think he may lose his temper today. Naruto has been promoted to Jonin."

"If you are really worried, go take a look. Take a look for us too." Aburame Shi sighed slightly, "Your teacher will understand."

"Understand that you also have to curse."

"Anyway, he can't jerk you now." Zhiwei wanted to help, but he couldn't solve the problem. "You also understand your teacher. He wishes Naruto would quit being a ninja and open a ramen restaurant."

"Naruto has grown up and we can't help him." Kakashi was already prepared to be scolded at the dinner table today. "Besides, it is a happy thing for his son to be recognized by everyone. The teacher knows that he can't do anything and will only complain. What I’m worried about is the teacher, he still can’t adapt to the current life.”

Aburame sighed slightly, "You have to know that retirement is not a problem for him, but it is difficult to accept such retirement. Not being Hokage does not mean that he can accept that he can do almost nothing."

"But treating a disease is not like cutting off dead branches and leaves. It always takes time to recover." Kakashi sighed, "I really don't understand why he is always so anxious to recover. When he gets better, he wants to do things and study ninjutsu. No one can stop him from doing anything he wants to do.”

"Maybe" Zhiwei wanted to tell Kakashi about his guess, but he didn't know where to start, "Kakashi, your teacher is actually a very insecure person."

"what"

"How should I put it? I told you that you might not understand. Your teacher is an orphan."

"I know."

"No, your teacher came from an orphanage and is a bit special."

"Genma, Aoba, and the same people are all the same, and the light and dark department are just a bunch of people who came out of the orphanage."

"No, no, no, it's different. It's not an orphanage." Aburame pushed up her sunglasses slightly, "If I want to make an analogy, your teacher is actually similar to Kabuto Yakushi. He is not an orphan from Konoha, but from outside the village."

Kakashi really didn't understand.

"When we were young, Konoha could barely afford to raise orphans in our own village, and it simply couldn't afford to raise so many children from outside the village. But there were always parents from outside who couldn't support them anymore and left their children in Konoha. If the village couldn't raise them, it wouldn't be enough. "

""

"So at that time, due to funding and resource issues, children from outside the village could continue to live in Konoha only if they became ninjas in Konoha. Konoha raised them until they were 6 years old. If they could not pass the Konoha Ninja School, Konoha would not be able to live in Konoha. Don’t worry about it anymore. You know what it’s like for a 6-year-old child to survive alone during the war.”

""

"Kakashi, your teacher is so popular. Has he ever told you about his friends? He only met us after going to school. He has not even told you about the people who were admitted to the ninja school with him."

""

"Because of his group of orphans from outside the village, even if they become Konoha ninjas, they are treated differently. They do the most dangerous things, do things that no one else does, and get a meager income. Medicines and ninja tools are also paid from the mission fee. Even if he becomes a jonin."

""

"So, the mortality rate is very high. All of Minato's friends have died. The number of people lost in battle, the lack of medicine and treatment, and the number of people practicing ninjutsu. Are you particularly surprised that Naruto obviously has such good physical fitness and talent? Why Minato forced him to grow up is because, in order to make himself useful to Konoha, Minato and his friends, who had no family inheritance, took risks to practice many lost ninjutsu."

""

"Why was Minato the only one who knew how to fly the God of Thunder? Because he was the only one who survived." Aburame Shiwei's voice began to tremble, "Even the so-called complete version of the Flying God of Thunder that you learned was after your teacher modified the difficulty and risk Yes, the map version is even more safe and harmless. Do you know what people who fail to practice Flying Thunder God look like? Only half-body bodies left in pieces are not a joke to you."

""

"This is just a Flying Thunder God. There is really a reason why the Sealed Book is a Sealed Book and not allowed to be read by others."

""

"Don't believe it, Kakashi. Otherwise, why do you think the Third Generation allowed Danzo to form a root? It's cruel, and it's better than starving to death. You are almost the Hokage now, and there is no need to hide Orochimaru's matter from you. Mu. Ye tacitly agreed to Orochimaru's laboratory at that time. Those who were injured and could not be cured gave Orochimaru a glimmer of hope, otherwise none of them would survive."

""

"So, the reason why your teacher is getting angry now and even left a note before leaving is because he believes in his heart that useless people deserve to be abandoned and die. He has never abandoned anyone in a battle. Including me, who is useless, but Konoha has abandoned him who is useless many times. Moreover, he did nothing wrong. Minato is the Hokage, and he knows that Konoha did nothing wrong."

""

"Kakashi, try to make Konoha continue to be prosperous. Your teacher feels that Konoha is not strong enough now."

"Kakashi"

Kakashi looked up silently and found that the person in front of him had been replaced by Uchiha Shisui.Sure enough, people who are used to covering their faces can no longer show their faces. Everything is written on their faces, which is too ugly.

Shisui also discovered his problem and quickly stopped smiling, "Itachi just gave me the Thunder God communication, and that Xiaonan did it."

"It's a bit of progress."

"Why are you not happy at all about this great event?"

"Happy, exactly."

"Uh, Itachi is writing."

""

Shisui decided to take his dog-faced mask out of the cabinet and put it on again. Compared with having a clear mind and breathing, a clear mind might be more suitable for him. "Forget it, I'll go directly."

"That's just right." Kakashi opened the drawer and took out a black mask, as black as the door of Hatake's old house, without reflection; he took out another one that looked like a bunch of leaves; then he took out another one that was as white as snow, and another one that looked like a bunch of leaves. Huang Rutu, "The new equipment of the Logistics Department should be given to the field staff to try out first. The field staff always complain that the animal faces are difficult to use and a bit old-fashioned."

Zhisui silently accepted it and silently put on the pure black mask.

It’s really hard to take off the mask after wearing it for a long time

Konoha 62

It’s not always the little people who determine the direction of history.
