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

Konoha 62

It's still dark outside the window

Uzumaki Naruto was certain that he woke up after falling asleep.But how long has he slept? Is it 5 minutes or 10 minutes? Or is it almost early morning now?Naruto could reach out and touch the alarm clock on the bedside, but he didn't dare to reach out.Because he was afraid, he was afraid that if he moved or opened his eyes, he would wake up from his dream and lose everything.For example, mom.

Naruto remembered clearly that he held his mother's hand countless times before going to bed yesterday, last night, and last afternoon.Dad said that Mom is a ghost and has never left. It is just a coincidence that everyone can see her now. "Nine Lama, do you still remember whether yesterday was real or fake? Am I dreaming or awake now? On."

The Nine Lamas shook their tails and remained silent.

Naruto has also gotten used to it. Unless he is in danger of having to borrow his tail, it is good to be able to answer one of the nine questions on weekdays, even if it is like getting into the cage to tell him a joke when they first met. Kurama rarely quarreled with him anymore, "Forget it, I accept whether it's true or not. Uzumaki Naruto is a man and will never be sad over unrealistic things."

After Naruto finished speaking, he opened his eyes and looked at his watch. It was just 4 o'clock.He was not on the lotus leaf in Mt. Myouki, but indeed in his bedroom in Hatake's old house. In the summer, Naruto jumped up with a frog nightcap given by Jiraiya and rushed directly to his father's bedroom.

His father slept like a child, with one leg curled up and stretched out from the quilt, and both hands in a surrender position by his ears.

This is not very common.Naruto remembered that the Yondaime Hokage's special posture was either covered with a quilt or rolled up into a roll.What about mom?

Ghosts probably don't sleep, "Mom"

"I'm here." Uzumaki Kina lay next to Naruto's ear. She watched her son wake up in a daze from sleep, put on a pair of shorts and ran out barefoot. She understood that as a member of the Uzumaki clan, even if it is more than ten degrees below zero, Running barefoot in the snow would probably be fine, but she just couldn't bear to see her son not wearing shoes.

"mother"

"I'm here, I'm here." Once the dimensional wall is broken, nothing can stop it. Kinai discovered that since she caught Minato yesterday afternoon, she has not changed back into multiple people.The reason why Minato slept as wantonly as Shishimaru today was because she had been by Minato's side.So Naruto, your mother doesn't dare to speak loudly, it will wake up your father, "And you got up too early today."

"Mom." Naruto called for the third time, "Are you still there?"

"I'm here, I'm here, I'm really here." Kinai looked at Minato and then at Naruto. She couldn't stand it anymore. How could she watch Naruto's big eyes lose their luster and remain indifferent, even though Minato slept and ate Mom could talk to Naruto during breakfast, but there were still so many hours before breakfast, "Minato Minato, don't sleep, get up quickly."

Namikaze Minato scratched his face and turned over to continue sleeping.He vaguely seemed to hear Qinai's voice.

"Get up, I want to talk to my son." Kinai grabbed Minato's ear and gently pulled it, "Wake up."

Minato heard what Kinai said clearly now. Kinai had not disappeared since she held his hand yesterday afternoon until now. As a result, he had been listening to Kinai nagging in his ears all night.Talk about Naruto, talk about his son who was once so cute but ended up getting tougher as he grew older.He knew that once his wife saw his son, his status as husband and head of the family would plummet.Shikaku complained to him, Ding Zao complained to him, and Fugaku complained all day long. When he first got married, Mikoto-san asked him what he wanted to eat every day. When Itachi was born and Sasuke was born, the house was filled with all kinds of cream and sugar. Full.Itachi and Sasuke love sweet food, so even the steamed buns they brought back from the hot spring duo world with their wives were filled with red bean paste.

"Wave Wind Minato"

Yesterday, they forced him to take medicine and said he was a patient. This morning, they wanted to wake him up just to talk to his son.Minato just won't wake up, otherwise when he retires completely in the future, Naruto will be responsible for food, clothing, and housing, and he will have even less status in the family. Maybe Kinai will feed him first when it's time to eat. Shishimaru feeds him again.

Kinai looked at Minato, who was moaning and rubbing his pillow but not getting up. He had no choice but to continue twisting his ears.Twist, she was reluctant to exert her strength and wanted to tell Minato, if you don't obey me, I won't cook for you tonight.However, she can't cook for Minato now. Even if she is still alive, this will not threaten Minato. Minato can do it himself.She wanted to say, if you don't come to coax me, you can sleep on the sofa alone at night, but she still can't do anything now.

Qinai only lamented that human desires are really endless.When she was floating silently, she just hoped that Minato would know that she was still there. After Minato confirmed that she was still there, he expected Minato to talk to her. After talking, he wanted to see her. After seeing it, he still wanted to touch it. After touching it, he was still not satisfied. , "Forget it Minato, just go to sleep."

Kinai gave up, but Naruto burst into laughter, yes, yes, his mother was not fake, his mother was always there, and his father's ears were turning clockwise and counterclockwise.After Naruto finished laughing, he covered his father with the quilt.It is indeed summer now, but when the doctor came to deliver the medicine last night, he also said that his father still needs to be closely monitored, "Okay, mom, don't twist dad's ears anymore, I'm going to do morning exercises first."

"Practice this early in the morning." Kinai pointed Minato's ears and pointed at the wall clock, "It's not even five o'clock yet."

"It's a little early, but I won't be able to sleep for a few minutes if I go back to sleep." Naruto chuckled and held back his tears, "I am the head of the Namikaze family. Of course I have to train well, and I will protect my father in the future. And mom’s.”

"Yeah, yeah." Kinai really wanted to cook a delicious meal for Naruto. Her cooking was really delicious.

Minato was somewhere between happy and unhappy. It was still early for him to need his son's protection, but he couldn't help but Kinai nodded with his ears.

Naruto looked at his father's ears and his whole body was filled with power.If you were training hard before and wanted to learn advanced ninjutsu for the sake of your dream and the vanity of showing off to your friends, now Uzumaki Naruto, your responsibility is no longer to eat well, sleep well, grow up healthily, and make your father happy," I'll be back after breakfast."

"Yeah." Qinai waved his hand and couldn't help but follow.Naruto was different from Minato. Naruto wished he had been over-nourished since childhood and turned into a fat boy. With her bloodline, Naruto would not be in a situation where training would damage his body.But she still couldn't bear to see her son working so hard.Teenagers are the time to grow taller, so it's great to sleep in. They worked hard like Minato, but it didn't come cheap in the end. Konoha Kinai floated to the door and looked back at her thin husband, then came back and kissed the tip of his nose. Follow Naruto again.

Minato felt the kiss and opened his arms for a loving hug, then hugged himself.When I opened my eyes, I couldn't see where Qinai was. I listened carefully and found that Qinai had run to the window and was chattering, "Naruto, you have to eat first and then go to morning exercise. If you don't eat, eat a piece of chocolate first. Of course, my son is the strongest." , I’m not your pretty boy’s hapless dad who always suffers from low blood pressure and low blood sugar.

"Silly woman, your son can't see or hear." Minato also babbled and turned on the bedside lamp, "Who is that?"

The Genpa Anbu, who also has no future at all, really doesn't like his code name.But since he chooses to follow the retired Hokage, he has to endure the adult's humor that is always off track, the cold jokes that he doesn't tell anymore, and the bad taste that lasts the whole afternoon when he suddenly laughs, "Good morning, my lord."

Minato regretted choosing such a person.If it were Genma, he would help him up first, and Kakashi would pour him a glass of warm water. Yamato would directly ask him if he felt uncomfortable. Even Itachi would immediately tell him today's temperature, wind direction, and humidity, and then ask him what do you need.

But, that's it, Namikaze Minato's team has always collected problem children.Genma, who is always messing up, and Aoba, who loves to play tricks, are the same in every team.

The unwanted hedgehog Kakashi, the left-over medical ninja Rin Harano, the unlucky Uchiha Obito, and Yamato who is splinted between ANBU and Gen, now there is a person who can't cry or laugh. Minato no longer has any expectations about whether the root of his inability to integrate into normal society and interact with people can be reformed. Anyway, except for Genma, he has almost never succeeded.It was just to give this unlucky guy a background in the Hokage Guards so that he would not be underestimated by others when he went out. Shimura Danzo and these people all had a place to go.

"Yondaime, do you need anything?" After a long silence, this person will only operate according to the instructions of his superiors. Gen, who doesn't know what to do without orders from his superiors, finally thought of imitating his senior Tenzo, no, Yamato , "What can I do for you?"

"No, no." Minato finally tried to sit up. He was full of energy yesterday, so he didn't feel anything no matter whether he was walking to a meeting or Naruto was jumping around.Today's retribution came quickly. I had backache, leg cramps, dizziness, headache, and stomachache. I really couldn't get up if I didn't take a break. "By the way, you also saw objects or my ears moving randomly, right? Why aren’t you as green-faced as Yamato?”

The one blinked and said, "Then just move."

"Hatake's old house is haunted."

"Then let's make a fuss."

"" Minato was speechless, he missed Kinai, "Did Kakashi go home and sleep yesterday."

"No."

“What can I have for breakfast this morning?”

"Yamato-senpai is in charge of your breakfast."

Minato looked at the clock and it was 4:20. He couldn't sleep anymore and couldn't do anything. "Where's Shishimaru?"

"Master Naruto is taking him out."

"Where's the Uzumaki phosphorus?"

"Konoha Hospital said that you should be patient until they are sure there are no side effects."

Namikaze Minato nodded. He was patient and endured his retirement life. "Hey, who is that? You said you should call Kakashi now and ask him to come over for breakfast."

Who held out the phone?

Minato held the receiver and put it down again.The handover between the new Hokage and the old Hokage is really a troublesome thing.Namikaze Minato was successful, and everyone was saying that if the third generation hadn't always made trouble for the fourth generation, Konoha might have been well-off a few years earlier.But if Minato Namikaze fails, although there are not so many ifs in the world, who can really be sure that the fourth generation of the new Hokage is not causing trouble for the old Hokage? Minato was awakened by nightmares countless times, thinking of the nobles and nobles of the capital who were slaughtered by him. Konoha, a commoner of the River Country, may not end well if he continues to follow the Sandaime's train of thought.

As for Kakashi and him

three days later

Fire Country Konoha Hokage Studio

Naruto Office

"Lord Kakashi has become seriously ill due to severe pneumonia caused by swimming and drowning, and he can be declared dead at any time." Nara Shikaku reported very casually, and there was no disturbance in his heart.When he was a child, he followed his father and three generations of adults to visit the old king.The old king had a majestic voice and cunning eyes, sitting on a high chair.The ninjas of Konoha knelt down and listened to the instructions.The king cannot defeat a ninja, even a kid like him who is still in school can easily kill him.But at that time, Shikaku didn't dare to think like this. Even when he returned to Konoha, Dingza, Haiichi and his friends at school would still show envy and jealousy towards him, "Kakashi, do you think the country When is the right time for the Lord to die?”

Kakashi had no emotion at all, "Ding Zao-senpai, has the new little country leader been elected?"

"There are three that are more suitable." Choza Akimichi put the three pieces of paper on the corner of Kakashi's small desk, "That's almost enough. Let's go sit at Minato's desk. This small desk is very inconvenient for storing documents."

"Yeah." Kakashi didn't look at the three pieces of paper. He was holding Orochimaru's bill in his hand and making a final struggle.Everyone said that the reason why Konoha needs a Hokage is because you have your own reasons for many things in the world, and I have my own reasons. Each has its own pros and cons and needs someone with high prestige to make the decision.But Kakashi has come to understand these days. He is really not a very decisive Hokage like the teacher. So, what should he do in the best interests of Konoha?

Zabuza and everyone suggested that he ask the teacher, but Kakashi knew very well that he couldn't ask the teacher even if he asked the Sandaime.The opinions of the third generation are just opinions, and the opinions of the fourth generation can be equated to the final decision.In fact, he actually went to ask the third generation. The third generation had no objection to Konoha taking this opportunity to reconcile with Orochimaru.Orochimaru had originally intended to reconcile, and the timing was right, and it would not be harmful to Konoha.But Kakashi still felt uneasy.His intuition told him that there must be something happening here that Orochimaru has not yet thought of, so, "I have already made a decision about Orochimaru."

""

"Continue to ignore him. He wants to be the enemy of Konoha. Even if he cooperates with Nagato and becomes the enemy of Konoha, the worst he can do is fight. Konoha is not afraid of him. If he doesn't want to be the enemy of Konoha, he will naturally do the right thing. Choice. Yes, we won’t choose, let him choose by himself.”

""

"Seniors, why are you looking like this?" Kakashi was flustered before he said it, but he felt inexplicably at ease after he said it, "I am the Hokage, I have the final say, right?"

So another three days

Country of hot springs, hot spring cave

Orochimaru looked at the dying experimental subject Nagato and could only stop his experiment.He could conduct experiments for days and nights, and he could wait patiently for a lifetime for a result.However, even though Konoha's hints were so obvious, Konoha still didn't reply to him. What on earth was Konoha hesitating about, "Namikaze Minato, you deserve to die."

"It's not the Fourth Hokage. I found out clearly that the person in charge in Konoha now is Hatake Kakashi." A puddle of water on the ground stood up and expanded unscientific.Feather-white hair and a row of pointed teeth, "Namikaze Minato is indeed very ill and has stopped caring about the world. And if you want to ask Konoha, no one will care about him because he is crazy."

"" Orochimaru took a deep breath, "Kiden Suigetsu, you'd better think about it before you speak."

"Crazy is just crazy. He talks to himself all day long and makes love to his dead wife in front of the air."

""

"Karasu met Namikaze Minato in Konoha. She said that she had a good life in Konoha, so Orochimaru-sama, you don't have to worry." The sharp-toothed ghost Suigetsu said as he turned into a puddle again. water.Although Orochimaru-sama is reluctant to do anything with the phosphorus, he is not a big treasure that can revive people with full blood after just one bite.

Orochimaru really couldn't do anything with Xiang Phosphorus. He only felt a headache and frustration.He didn't understand why every time he planned something well, he couldn't execute it smoothly once he arrived in Konoha.

On the autopsy table, Nagato saw that Orochimaru was in a bad mood and he became cheerful. "That's what the so-called big country and the Ninja Village are like. They first stand on the moral high ground and tell you that you are a bad person. If you do bad things, you You are a bad person, and you are unpardonable."

Orochimaru didn't like the look in Nagato's eyes, so he fainted with a white handkerchief and pulled him down. But what to do next? Orochimaru was mentally prepared that Konoha would default on the debt, but his ultimate goal was not to pay, "No, I Go find Kakashi and ask him if all the straw growing in his head is straw."

"Go back to Konoha yourself"

"Konoha can't stop me," Orochimaru said deeply, "Also, I'm not going back, I'm going to Konoha."

Konoha is more than just a place name
