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

Science is not curiosity, science is not the desire to know, science is the desire to survive.And, I'm not afraid of ghosts, I'm just afraid of the unknown.The unknown means uncertainty. The unknown means we have today and we don’t know what we will do tomorrow. The unknown means we plant seeds in the spring and don’t know what we will harvest in the autumn. The unknown means we are precarious.

I've experienced a precarious life, even though I'm only in my twenties.Actually, I don’t know exactly how old I am in my twenties. In short, I am a few years older than Itachi Uchiha, a few years younger than Kakashi Hatake, and like Kabuto Yakushi, I was born in the most intense and anxious period of the Third Ninja War. In those years, that is, when the fields all over the world were barren, there was a lack of medical treatment, and there was not even enough food to eat.I don't even know how I came to Konoha. I only vaguely remember being put into the bathroom with a roomful of children to wash, and then being played around by several adults in white clothes.

I had no idea what they were doing, I was just focused on the food and the food.But then I learned that it was called a physical examination.Either those who have blood inheritance limits, or who are healthy and disease-free, or those who are smart and beautiful will be picked up and raised by Konoha first, while the remaining children with more or less problems can be brought up with a large family. I packed food and left Konoha. Even though the child was just a baby, I have no way of verifying why I was eliminated. But Yakushi Kabuto should have been eliminated because of his eyesight. His natural short-sightedness is not suitable for becoming a ninja, right?

But Yakushi Kabuto was lucky. He met Yakushi Nonou. The female ninja lost her husband, children, and all relatives in the war, so she took the family's inheritance and opened a small orphanage outside Konoha to take in those who were abandoned. Pick the rest.

And I was also very lucky. In fact, many people in Konoha were adopting orphans outside at that time.The more famous ones are Orochimaru and Shimura Danzo.

Master Orochimaru said that he needs someone to help him with the experiment. He will die, but as long as he is not dead, he will be responsible for keeping everyone fed, and if he succeeds, he may become a super powerful ninja.When I was young, I didn't care whether a ninja or not would die. I only knew that I would die if I didn't get to eat my next meal.So I became Subject No. 60 in Orochimaru-sama’s experiment.

The so-called experiment is to implant the cells of a person named Senju Hashirama into the body.Maybe this way we can get the abilities of the ninja god, the first Hokage of Konoha.It's a pity that 60 of the 59 children who did the experiment with me died. In fact, I probably died too.Because when I woke up again, it was already placed in the freezer with a bunch of corpses.So I knocked and knocked, Orochimaru

The adults just rushed out and took me out with their eyes flashing, and kept me entertained with food and drinks. However, I was not able to use the wooden escape. Instead, I was still dying, and was finally left in the corner to fend for myself.

If Danzo-sama who came to visit me hadn't been very interested in me, I probably would have really died.Anyway, I was picked up by Danzo-sama and put together with other children adopted by him.

Danzo-sama seems to be much richer than Orochimaru. He lives in a better place than the laboratory, has better food and clothing, and is taught taijutsu and ninjutsu.And he promised us that as long as I pass the training and assessment, I can join the training department of Konoha ANBU and become a root, a true Konoha ninja.

In troubled times, children become sensible very early and know what it means to become a ninja.It means being able to protect yourself, and it means being able to protect others.As for Gendanzo-sama, the roots of Konoha have no names, no past, no future and no feelings.

Oh, no, no, no.I don’t have a name to begin with, I don’t have a past, who knows about things that are so far away in the future, and things that no one knows about in the first place, there is a difference between having it and not having it.

As for feelings

Later, under the careful cultivation of Danzo-sama, I got the ninjutsu book from the first generation of masters. Under the devilish training, a small bud finally appeared on the tip of my finger.Lord Orochimaru scoffed, saying this was nothing like Wood Release.Lord Danzo educated Lord Orochimaru. He said, let us nameless guys also remember that no one can succeed casually, and no one’s success does not require paying a price. Even the first generation himself started from scratch. He couldn't even throw his sword, and he slowly grew into the god of ninjutsu little by little.Sora has a good bloodline, even if he is the best bloodline in the world, he will still be eliminated if he doesn't work hard.

This really doesn't sound like it was said by a bad person.But is Danzo-sama the big bad guy?

Gen trains innocent children into killing machines, and they will kill each other due to competition within Gen. Gen goes on dangerous missions with no return. Many people die every year, but if you calculate carefully, the children who were picked up by Konoha back then In fact, even fewer survived.

But is Danzo-sama really a good person?

He also warned us that there is a price to pay for living. He did not raise us in vain. Every grain of rice we eat from him must be repaid.Why do ninjas earn rations for themselves by doing tasks and completing every task assigned by their superiors?So regardless of whether you are a friend or a good friend, just kill him if it interferes with your ability to complete the task. As long as you can complete the task, you should do whatever it takes.

But is Danzo-sama really a bad person?

Is Danzo Shimura a good guy or a bad guy? Should I thank him or resent him?

Until after the Kyuubi Incident, when I was sent by Danzo-sama to assassinate the Yondaime-sama, I was forced into an endless loop by this problem.Just as confused as when he first learned that Lord Orochimaru had defected.

Then the Yondaime, who was learning to change Master Naruto's diaper, asked me if Orochimaru wanted to use you for an experiment, was he forcing you? After explaining the stakes clearly, I chose it myself.Who are you, Shimura Danzo, why should you provide you with free food, clothing, housing, education, and medical care? Shimura Danzo is not anyone of mine, let alone my parents. He doesn’t owe me anything.

But I still felt very uncomfortable. Yes, I chose everything myself, but there was always only one option.

The fourth generation said, don't make it sound like no one has a choice, I don't have a choice either. If you have to choose, what do you want?

No matter how you call other people's ninja numbers, they are just a series of numbers. For you guys, the ranking in group fights every year determines who is called A, B, C, and D.You are called A now, and I will call you whatever you want in the future if you lose.

Well, then I was called Yamato, and my code name is still Yamato until now.To be precise, I am called Yamato in ANBU and Tenzo in the root. No, now the root and ANBU have merged. No, I was originally a part of ANBU. I don’t know why Danzo-sama calls me Tenzo. , I don’t know why the Fourth Generation called me Yamato, but both Yamato and Tenzo are my codenames, just codenames, not names.Roots, no names, no past, no future, no feelings.

If the Yondaime-sama hadn't insisted on giving me a last name a few days ago.This surname is Senju, Senju of the Senju of the Forest, Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, Senju of the Senju Tsunade.

Danzo-sama is dead and the roots have been disbanded. I don't mind having a name from now on. Maybe I can try to get a ninja number in the future.But my surname is Senju. It would be really embarrassing if Tsunade-sama returns to Konoha and doesn't recognize me as Senju at all.If I had to have a surname, I might as well be Shimura.

In fact, I have always felt that Danzo-sama wanted those of us who were trained by him to have the surname Shimura.Just like Medicine Master Noonoyu and other small families where only one or two people are dead, the family must have an heir.In particular, I dare not think about it in detail. The Uchiha, Sarutobi, and Hyuga families were all big families who joined Konoha when the village was founded. The other families were prosperous and full of people. Only the Shimura and Senju families could not see anyone.Asked the fourth generation, the fourth generation said do you believe me?

I said yes.

The fourth generation said, that's fine, I can still harm you.

Yes, yes, the fourth generation is the most considerate of his subordinates. The Senju mansion is still there, and the Senju industry is still there.As for Shimura, although I am not sure whether the Shimura family is really gone, I can be sure that the house that the Shimura family should have been in is gone, and the industry that should have been there is also gone. Maybe it is really the same as the Yakushi family. Probably because all the money was spent on adopting orphans.After all, the roots are all left over from being picked out in the past, and they can't survive just by giving them food.

I once heard the Sandaime-sama and Danzo-sama arguing.Mandaime said that Gen was so inhumane.Lord Danzo hummed, so what if it was inhumane.

Yes, what is inhumane.We train children who are weak, have genetic diseases, have no talent, are stupid, and even have disabilities to become ninjas. These ninjas are just ordinary people, and none of them have any boundaries of blood inheritance.

But why do these children who are not suitable to be ninjas have to work hard to become ninjas? Why can't they become farmers, craftsmen, driver, or cooks, teachers, novelists, musicians, poets, or painters?

Danzo-sama said that it was because the Sarutobi family and the Shimura family were both big families, with money, land and resources.But the Shimura family was willing to spend their lifetime wealth to help the poor and crazy Konoha cultivate roots, while the Sarutobi family did nothing and allowed the orphans to die.They say that Danzo is not a human being and that Danzo abuses children, but they just don't pay for it themselves. As long as they drive the children they don't want out of Konoha and don't let them see them, they are good people.

I have to say that Danzo-sama's eloquence is still very good. At that time, I and other children really felt that we were so miserable. We had to kill each other. It was the third generation who caused us to be abandoned without even having a name.It would be great if Danzo-sama were Hokage. If Danzo-sama became Hokage, everyone would definitely live a good life.The result was that a group of people secretly joined together to assassinate the third generation for Danzo-sama.

I didn't go because of course I would fail.Sandai said, think about it carefully. Is it really a matter of striving to train you to become ninjas even though you are obviously not suitable for it? During the war, what was the mortality rate of civilians and ninjas? Sandai came up with a lot of data. It is true. It was the ninjas who died more, but also the lucky civilians.

In fact, the Third Generation's rebuttal made no sense, but while the Third Generation punished those who went there according to Konoha's discipline, he actually spent money to treat our wounds, and he was sincere and sincere to every child.In the end, those children did not come back, and they did live a normal life for a long time before becoming genin and chunin before dying on the battlefield.

But that's not important. What's important is that because of those betrayers who were instigated by the Third Generation, Lord Danzo has become even more harsh on us.

Or maybe, it would be cool for me to be named Namikaze.The Yondaime's son's surname is Uzumaki, and the Yondaime's grandson will also be named Uzumaki. Even if Namikaze Minato is a more casual name than Yamato Tenzo, this is also the Yondaime's name.Kakashi has been following the Yondaime for 20 years and he has become like an adopted son. I have followed Naruto since the year he was born and have followed him to become an emperor and a courtier. There is definitely no future for me to follow the retired Hokage. Then why not just let me become a retainer of the Namikaze family? I told the fourth generation that the old butler of the Sarutobi family was named after the third generation, Sarutobi.

The fourth generation ignored me, but called Kakashi-senpai over. Kakashi said, Itachi is still trapped in the land of rain. If I am willing to go over and take his place, Itachi will welcome me to build if he can raise his feet above his head. Starting a new life in a new station, he might even introduce me to a beautiful girl from Yu Nin. It’s not necessarily that he gave me the money for the wedding ceremony and the baby’s full month in advance. Anyway, the Uchiha family is rich.

In the end, I chose to let Kakashi-senpai solemnly write the four characters "Senju Yamato" in the name column of my file.

So, I finally had a name, and my roots became the past. I had a past, and I also had a future. The future I chose, the future where I stayed with the fourth generation and was entangled with the Senju family.

As for feelings

The temperature in the summer afternoon was a bit hot, but the air conditioner in the Hokage's office was turned off. A thin line of sweat broke out on the tip of Yamato's nose, causing his fox mask to slide down a bit. He pushed the mask gently and started to boil water. He would go to give it to him later. Change warm water to all upper floors of small conference rooms for meetings.In this kind of weather, indoors without air conditioning, of course, a glass of iced watermelon juice per person, or snow-top coffee is more delicious, but who made the fourth generation of his family only drink warm water now.
