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

"I knew Orochimaru was not a bad person, he really is not a bad person."

Fire Country Konoha, Sarutobi House

another day passed

After sobering up, Jiraiya trotted along plucking holly trees, and when he got in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he put the leaves to his mouth and blew them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was making tea in the sunset. He used to wonder why Koharu was always by the stove, but now he felt that there was nothing better to kill time than boiling water.

"" Jiraiya looked disappointed at the indifferent Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Well, I know that Orochimaru didn't make it up by using his companions for human experiments. He also said many times that he wanted to slice my brain."

Sarutobi Hiruzen made tea.After losing Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Konohamaru's father, he could not help but be tolerant when facing the only remaining Jiraiya.However, his tolerance now seems to have failed to have a better impact on Jiraiya.

"Well, I also know that the spies sent to the Akatsuki organization are bullshit. I'm just too lazy to think about it and I'm not stupid. Minato just sees that Orochimaru is still useful and just finds an excuse to get him back to work." Jiraiya squatted down. The long corridor reminds me of sitting here with Tsunade and Orochimaru eating watermelon when I was a child.Tsunade gnawed the watermelon and spit out the seeds as usual. After eating the watermelon, he squirted out the seeds in his mouth like a thousand sticks. Orochimaru used a toothpick to pick the seeds one by one on the plate. After eating, there was no sticky juice on his face and hands. , "Teacher, I have known that Orochimaru is a pervert since I was a child. But he is really not a bad person."

Sarutobi Hiruzen still said nothing.What could he say.Someone must listen to Orochimaru if he objects to Konoha being able to clear his name so easily and if he objects to letting the evil rebellious nin return to Konoha.

"Orochimaru could be considered a good person."

Sarutobi Hiruzen drank tea. He felt that the warm tea was really comforting.The king died, and everyone said that Minato Namikaze killed him.No problem, if a puppet is good for the Fire Nation and Konoha, then let the king be the spiritual leader. If the death of the king is good for everyone, then let the king die.As the leader of the country, he should sacrifice for the sake of the country and the people. However, the new leader was replaced by a child who has no blood relationship with the leader of the country.

"Orochi is not a medical ninja. Later, he became a part-time medical ninja because there were not enough medical ninjas."

The Sarutobi family has been serving the Lord to protect the Land of Fire since ancient times, whether it is a ninja melee or the Senju and Uchiha suddenly shaking hands and announcing the founding of Konoha.

"The reason why Orochimaru studied forbidden arts and human experiments was because he found that he could not save people even though he had mastered medical ninjutsu."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know whether the future Minato Namikaze chose for the world was better or worse, but he could no longer choose again.

"They say Orochimaru is selfish and cruel, but Orochimaru is much better than Tsunade. Once Tsunade found out that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't save her loved ones, she wouldn't even save others. Orochimaru was gone after Tsunade left. At least it lasted for two years." Jiraiya chewed the bitter holly leaves, "But no matter how selfish Tsunade is, she is better than me. At least she knows that she can't help and won't cause trouble."

"" Sarutobi Hiruzen finally raised his head and glanced at Jiraiya.Wearing a uniform, a tactical vest, and a forehead protector, the 50-year-old jounin had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and nasolabial folds next to his nose. He was as fat as Minato's stupid lion.

"Teacher, why are you looking at me silently and eating salty dinner? At such an age, eating less salt is good for your heart." Jiraiya spat out the broken green leaves, showing his green-stained teeth, and wanted to insert them. Ji Dake smiled heartlessly, turning down the corner of his mouth when he was halfway ridiculous.He is the free, optimistic and heroic ninja Jiraiya. He really wants to do something for Konoha and is willing to die.However, after all, Konoha no longer lacks him to die.

Sarutobi Hiruzen drank the last sip of the slightly cold tea. The bitter and sweet taste calmed him, "I heard that Naruto and Hinata had a date yesterday."

"Teacher, why are you such a gossip?" Jiraiya took an exaggerated step across the floor and stamped his feet. The crisp sound of clogs did not appear. "That's right. The Sandaime Hokage was once a young man who needed his disciples to take him with him to collect information. That's right. Teacher, can you teach me the crystal ball technique now?"

"Don't you think you stink a bit?" Sarutobi Hiruzen kicked away Jiraiya who was approaching him.

"Hahaha, actually I haven't taken a shower for a long time." Jiraiya got closer, "But I have to change clothes. Hahaha, Konoha is so convenient now, single men only need to leave their clothes at the service club , I picked it up the next day and it was clean. Hahaha, in the past, jounin would accept many genin just so that more people could help wash clothes and wash dishes. Hahaha, it hurts so much, teacher, why did you hit me again? "

Sarutobi Hiruzen kicked Jiraiya over and dragged him into the bathroom.

Jiraiya took a shower silently, "The teacher used to be afraid that I would do bad things with the crystal ball, but now I'm so old."

"No matter how old you are, you should still use it to peek into the women's bathroom."

"Hey, others don't know, but I know that the teacher invented the crystal ball technique after he and I were chased and beaten while collecting materials."

"I'm here to monitor Konoha." The only ninjutsu that Dr. Ninja invented independently in his life was actually banned from use many years ago. The duty rooms of the Security Department and ANBU will beep as if they are used. It's like someone really uses a crystal ball to peek into the women's bathroom.Sarutobi Hiruzen expressionlessly took out the dusty crystal ball from under the cabinet and threw it into the bathroom. "Wash it by the way. If you don't learn hand seals, I guess you can do it."

Jiraiya's eyes dazzled when he received it, "Give it to me."

"Bring it to Naruto." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.When Konohamaru's parents were still alive, Naruto liked to come and play with the old butler. No child could refuse the old butler of the Sarutobi Mansion, and Orochimaru was the same.Later, when the relationship between him and Minato deteriorated day by day, and finally almost broke each other, Naruto rarely came to visit.Calling Konohamaru out was also done from outside.After graduation, he rarely played with Konohamaru.Konohamaru actually didn't complain at all about the young masters of the Hokage family. They were very sensitive to such trivial matters all day long. "Supply Naruto's birthday present. He looks like he wants it every time he sees it."

"But compared to the crystal ball, I think the birthday gift I gave him last year is more practical." Jiraiya washed the ball, "Well, I will go to the supermarket later and buy another pack for him."

"What did you give me?"

"The one our teacher gave us when Orochimaru and I were 16 years old." Jiraiya blinked.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's hamstring tightened, "Minato-chan will scold you to death if he sees it."

"Minato doesn't know that. He couldn't wait to use up the pack I gave him on his birthday."

"You will be beaten to death by Kinai."

"If Qinai were alive, she would definitely chase me and fight her, but she is already dead."

Capital of the Fire Nation, outer suburbs

A place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and hot springs

Yamato really used his house-building skills to build a small wooden house

The ghost Uzumaki Kinai, who has been dead for many years, has no interest in her husband's body in the hot spring pool that has lost its mermaid thread. She is really worried about her son, "I don't know if Naruto really likes Hinata or it's just impulsive. That Miss Hinata He is not an ordinary person. After falling in love and then breaking up, Naruto will probably not end well."

"So Naruto didn't dare to respond at all before." Minato looked at his waist that had a little more flesh and didn't know whether to be happy or sad, "The ANBU didn't report your son, but he was holding the glass jar Hinata gave him. I sat in the living room until almost dawn before going to bed. It was time to think carefully before going on a date. I don’t know how long it took for the big vat of stars to be folded. I felt that if Naruto found out and refused again, Hinata might give up on him and move on. I fell in love with someone else. Then I suddenly panicked."

"Bah, only boys who can't catch up with girls will turn around and chase after girls. Girls won't give up after they find it difficult to catch up halfway." Qinai resented, "Hey, I should have been more careful then. Just hold on.

"what"

Qinai floated up and down, "I feel like you haven't chased me very much, so I just asked if I wanted to be your girlfriend and I agreed. The same goes for getting married. You told me that everyone is preparing for a collective wedding. Do we want to By the way

Sign up.The collective wedding was indeed very lively, but there was no wedding dress, no ring, nothing. Now when I recall the pomp and ceremony when Mikoto married Fugaku, I feel a little jealous for no reason. "

"Sorry." Minato was also very sorry. He didn't realize at the time what a precious memory a wedding between just two people was.

"That's better than Orochimaru." Kinai hated seeing Minato unhappy, "Remember when we pranked Orochimaru?"

"Remember, I sent love letters to girls everywhere in his name." Minato laughed, "I even drew a snake on the envelope but you thought it was ugly."

Kinai also laughed, "But there was once a kunoichi sister who asked me to help chase Orochimaru."

"Which kunoichi is so courageous?"

"I promised to knit a scarf and prepare a confession letter when I get back from the mission."

"" Minato floated on the water.

"If that sister is as brave as Hinata and likes to speak out as early as possible, maybe it can be done." Qinai floated in the sky, "If she falls in love with the Sannin, the task will be easier."

"Yeah." Minato wiped off the water and put on his clothes, "Yamato, help me squeeze the meat."

Uchiha Itachi opened the door and came in.

"Where's Yamato?"

"You think I'm not heating the rice properly." Itachi ignored the Hokage and saluted in the air. You don't have to believe it if you see it with your own eyes, but Orochimaru certified it. "Sister Kinai, help tell the Fourth Generation, my Massage technology is not what it used to be.”

"" Minato roared in his heart. He said eight hundred times that I'm not crazy. I'm not crazy. Even if he turned into a ghost behind me, no one believed him. Orochimaru made everyone believe it with a few words. This is unscientific.

""Itachi laid out the small blanket and continued to ignore Namikaze Minato's eyes.All impressions of golden glitter were shattered into pieces as early as the day he became captain of the guard.In short, Kakashi said it well, just think of today's fourth generation as willful old men.Well, as of this year, the age of death of the fathers who participated in the three world wars is really very few over 50 years old. The four generations who passed the age of 40 can indeed be regarded as old men, "Sister Qinai"

"Hahahaha." Kinai likes the name Kinai-san. She is much smarter than those guys who call her Kinai-san just because they call her Minato-san. "Minato, come over and lie down."

Minato thought about the pain of being pinched by Kinai and being pinched by Itachi, and chose to lie down.

Yes, it's that simple to handle a retired Hokage well.Itachi was enjoying himself while massaging.

Minato regretted being beaten by Itachi.

Itachi couldn't help it, "Who told Kakashi to let you go to the Tetsuyu House, so you have to come here."

"Because Tetsuyuya is still under inspection. There are so many stores, and it always takes time." After Qinai explained to Itachi, he realized that Itachi still couldn't hear it.

However, Minato repeated Kinai's words.

Kinai turned his head away as he listened to the sound of Minato's machinery.The conversation between Orochimaru and Minato was interrupted by Kakashi, and Kakashi did not involve Minato too much in the subsequent negotiations. But now that Kakashi has cleared Orochimaru, this in itself means that many things will happen even if Minato does not I can’t ask again if I ask clearly.

Just like since he fell ill, Minato has never said a word to the top management of Konoha except Shiwei Dingza.The third generation of Kai, Ichikakuzu, Mito Kato and Koharu, both of whom can hide from Minato and avoid Minato, were once political enemies or enemies of each other, and they always had to use some means to defeat each other.

But the current situation is that enemies have long been turned into friends.

Hatake White Fang killed the only son of an important elder of Sunagakure Village.The fifty elite Iwa-nins that Minato killed were the families of the fifty Iwa-nins.Raikakure killed Lin and almost kidnapped Hinata.The seven most powerful members of the Kiri Ninja were kicked to disbandment by Kai's father.Going even further, Sarutobi and Shimura, both lords and retainers of the country, had a lot of trouble with each other. Uchiha and Senju have been fighting for generations. Your father killed my brother. Brother killed your brother Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara shook hands and made peace, it was indeed an unprecedented event.

But, hatred, can you really let it go so easily? If you can let it go, Senju Tobirama will not look down on Uchiha everywhere, and Uchiha Madara will not rebel against Konoha again.

Yes, hatred.Qinai raised the corners of his mouth, and the blue light around him surged.

Itachi suddenly felt a pain in his head that was like a needle prick, but he quickly calmed down because the already sleeping Hokage quickly opened his eyes and explained to him.

"Kinai, you thought of something again. Don't lose your temper. You are using invisible spiritual transformation techniques to kill people." Minato was really startled.

"I think I might have to marry that guy Hinata Hizu in the future." Kinai stuck out her tongue and hugged Minato's neck, "I'm super unhappy."

Minato was also very unhappy, and he even thought maliciously that it would be best for Hinata and Hinata to die on their own before Naruto and Hinata talk about marriage.But Hinata and Hinata are in great shape, and they really don’t even have any old injuries.

But there are always other solutions.

Konoha, the Country of Fire, Hinata's Ancestral House

The secret room of the head of the family that every family has

Hinata and Hinata sit opposite each other.

"Hinata and Naruto have confirmed their relationship." Hyuga Hinata blew into her cup of tea, "The young master of the Hokage family must not be able to marry. Hanabi is still too young to see whether she has the talent to lead the family. And now It's not like before, ninjas can live well in Konoha without a surname, and it's no big deal to give yourself a surname."

"" Hinata Hizashi also drank tea and refused to put it down even if his mouth was burned.

Hiashi looked at the surging water in his brother's tea cup and nodded solemnly, "So, let Neji be the heir to the clan leader."

"Okay." Hinata almost didn't dare to be polite.

"Besides, from now on I will be the one to divide the family, and you can be the main family." Hinata Hizashi still held the cup steadily and took his time.

"" Hinata was all wet with Hizashi.Ningji's rise to power was expected by the public. It doesn't mean that girls can't be the head of the house. The female heads of Hyuga's previous generations have been fine. However, Hinata and Sparks' personalities have followed their mother's. It would be too cruel to let gentle and kind-hearted children be the head of the house.For example, if there is really a branch family crying and begging to be free of the caged bird, can Hinata and Hanabi really seal it without changing their expressions? But what does the brother say, let him also take off the caged bird and become a clan member from now on?

"Brother, I just feel that it is a pity to be suppressed based on Neji's qualifications." Hizashi was a little frightened. "The reason for my contact inside and outside the family is to want Neji to live well. I have no other intentions."

"I don't have any other intentions." Hidashi sighed and took off Hizashi's forehead protector. "Everyone said that the reason for dividing clans and families is to prevent the lower ones from defeating the upper ones. But in fact, Namikaze Minato teased you, and you also He joked with me, but I tell you now, he is right, the advantage of dividing the clan into clans is that you can bet on two sides, or even three sides and four sides, in the internal struggle."

""

"I am the head of the family and follow the powerful third generation, and you continue to stay close to the fourth generation. If the third generation and the first line win, I will guarantee Hinata's future. But now the winner is the fourth generation, of course it is you who will guarantee Hinata's future. "

""

"Father once told you and me that political struggle is a battle of lines and a fight for the great cause. Those who think they have great cause must do whatever they can." Hinata and Hinashi lit up chakra on his brother's forehead. He poked at it, "If it's the third generation, I believe that the head of the Sarutobi family knows that the dispute over the route is not a personal feud. In order to achieve the goal, you don't have any hatred in your heart even if you kill his son, the third generation. But Namikaze Minato, you killed his son Let’s see how he can give up and let go so easily.”

Letting go really means you care

It will soon be November in Konoha's 62nd year.
