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

"Beep beep."

"Whose communicator, the fourth generation is still asleep."

"Beep beep."

"It seems to be from the fourth generation."

"Beep beep."

"It's so early in the morning."

"Beep beep."

"Hurry up and get the fourth generation up. If you can hit him directly, I'm afraid it won't be a trivial matter."

"Dudu."

", Fourth Generation, Fourth Generation, wake up, your Flying Thunder God communicator has emergency communication."

"beep."

"Received, this is Konoha, please report number 002302." Namikaze Minato sat up from the bed suddenly, grabbed the communicator and pressed the answer button, "Hey, speak, Senju Tsunade."

"Minato Namikaze, tell me honestly, what nonsense did you and Shizune talk about yesterday? Shizune was so scared."

"Shizune, wait for me to take a breath first." No one wants to overthrow Konoha, no one wants to attack the country of Yu by taking advantage of the opportunity, and no one wants to destroy Kakashi's inauguration ceremony. Panasonic's tense Minato took a few breaths, bang He leaned against the bedside with a sound, and then he felt as uncomfortable as if his whole body and fingertips were being piled on top of each other by several Akimichi Dingzai.

"Hey, Minato, don't pretend the signal is bad."

"No." Minato listened to the sound of Tsunade-hime tapping the receiver in the machine and pointed to the small medicine bottle on the bedside.

The black hand on the side quickly unscrewed the bottle and poured out the pills.

Minato chewed the medicine and held it under his tongue. The bitter, spicy and cold taste instantly spread down his throat, and the heaviness in his body gradually improved.

"Pah, pah, where's the person?"

"I'm here, I'm here." Minato continued to take a deep breath, looked at the sky and his watch, "First of all, my communicator is only for emergency contact, it's not a home phone. Second, even if it's a home phone, it's not even five in the morning. Oh, it's still dark. Third, sister, did Shizune Medical Ninja ever tell you that I have a heart attack and you scared me so much by calling an emergency call so early in the morning, I thought the world was going to be in chaos again."

"" The communicator was silent for a few seconds, "Isn't it basically recovered? At this point, most people in Konoha have already gotten up for morning exercises."

"" Namikaze Minato was also silent for a few seconds, "There have been a lot of things these past two days, and I slept late last night."

"mute"

"Are you sure you won't come back today?" Minato finished his words first, "Sister Tsunade, it's actually not too late for you to change your mind now. The ceremony will be at [-] o'clock at noon. There is a Flying Thunder God team on standby in Yuno Country. We can catch up as soon as possible. catch up."

"Your Flying Thunder God is going to be flooded, why are you muteing?"

"If it's just used as a communication signal tower, I don't have to spend huge sums of money to build a new Hokage Tower." Minato laughed dryly, "Whatever you want to send to Konoha in the future, it can be carried by a teleportation eagle."

"My Shizune appears to be soft, gentle, and quiet on the surface, but that's just because she has a humble personality, low-key, and considerate. She doesn't really mind anything. She still hasn't made it with Kakashi after so long."

"Apart from Jiraiya-sensei, Orochimaru is also in Konoha now." Minato said vaguely, "Don't you want to meet him and reminisce about old times? He has asked about you."

"In the future, please stop stalking and trying to sell your Kakashi, okay? It's like the fifth generation Hokage jumped off the building and sold it at a high price and no one wanted it. Of course, it's normal that no one wants Kakashi, but let my family It would be bad if Shizune’s other suitors misunderstood.”

"Does Shizune have someone she likes?" Minato also knocked on the communicator, "By the way, Orochimaru has recently come up with some new things, and I can't say for sure. I haven't let the children get in touch with them. Do you want to come?"

"No one in your Kakashi family chases my Shizune, but there are a lot of suitors for my Shizune. If you hadn't deliberately made things unclear about Kakashi and Shizune, my Shizune would have had a real boyfriend long ago."

Minato took the receiver away and said, "Orochimaru"

"Minato Namikaze has the ability, don't worry about him, you know, I promised, I will take good care of Shizune."

"Obviously little Shizune Kato has been taking care of your unlucky aunt for his uncle." Minato muttered softly.

"Don't give me any nonsense to warn you. If you bully us Shizune again, you will bear the consequences."

"I do not"

"Anyway, Kakashi's Shizune will find an opportunity to speak clearly. You put away your evil thoughts, you dare to swear to the sky that you will match Shizune and Kakashi life or death, it's really because they two see each other. It matches well”

"Yes, beep." Minato heard the hang-up sound in his ears, put down the communicator and closed his eyes.

"Do I need to call a doctor?"

Watergate shook his head.

But the black-handed guard still took out the intercom, "I am Yamato, the captain of the Hokage guard, Hatake's old house. The fourth generation was a little uncomfortable just now. Well, he has already taken medicine, yes, but after checking, everyone can rest assured. Okay. , I won’t let him move around.”

Minato sighed and crossed his arms and looked at Yamato.

Yamato lowered his head and squinted at Minato secretly.

"Well, although the ceremony is at noon, theoretically I will be the former Hokage as soon as midnight." Minato kicked off the quilt and couldn't help but laugh.

"Four generations"

"Suddenly I remembered the day I announced my inauguration. Although I respected the third generation very much, and I was determined to do everything I could to do as well as I could, but within a few minutes of the ceremony, I couldn't wait to remove the small no-smoking sign from all the way. The corridor conference room is attached to the Hokage's office."

"What"

"I'm the Hokage, but at that time, office conference rooms and the like were mostly used by the third generation."

""

"Haha, I only learned how to smoke after a long time, when logistics developed unflavored cigarettes. As a ninja, if you have to go on a mission, you can't leave any loopholes for the enemy to track, so at that time, except for the third generation, there was almost no one in Konoha. People smoke.”

"Then, what happens next?" This was the first time Yamato heard this.

"Then I said I didn't need to call the medical nin, but you still informed the hospital." Minato tried to move his body, making sure that he was just uncomfortable for a moment and would not delay today's established process, and finally looked around with peace of mind to put on his shoes. When I got up, sure enough, his Qinai Brand Vitality Girl was not there again.Yes, if Qinai was here, he would have grabbed his ears and scolded him, "Naruto and Karin have already gone out."

"They are responsible for the security of the guests in the capital all day today." Seeing that Minato was no longer sleepy, Yamato turned on the fluorescent lamp.

Minato yawned and started to wash up, "Wait, no, Yamato, why are you here again? Your mission should be to monitor Orochimaru."

"Ahem." Yamato smiled sarcastically, "Itachi came back with his field team last night, and Kai-senpai also came back."

Minato rolled his eyes at Yamato, "You will be stationed in the Land of Rain in the future. This is non-negotiable."

"But in the past few days, the manpower has been able to be diverted. At least now Orochimaru is not missing him."

Our Hokage spit out the toothpaste and looked at Kakashi who suddenly appeared in the mirror with a straight face, "Stand up straight."

"at home."

Minato washed his face and felt a little unhappy. He found that he seemed to be no longer able to kick Kakashi's butt and whip him with White Fang's belt like before.

Yamato opened the door to let in the medical ninja sent by the hospital, and then frowned.

"Where's Jōnin Kato?" Kakashi frowned.

The young medical ninja with several pimples on his face knew who he was dealing with

After checking his body, he also knew that Hatake's old house was the fifth generation's home, but he was still nervous, "Follow me, according to the medical ninja mission regulations four, four generations."

\"Okay, it's just an electrocardiogram.\" Fortunately it wasn't Shizune who came.Minato lay down obediently. Yesterday when Shizune helped Kakashi treat his sunken eye socket, he did play a trick.For example, by repeating Tsunade's previous angry words in a different tone, it turns out that Tsunade supports Shizune and Kakashi's romance.Even if Kakashi doesn't listen to what he says, he has to think carefully, and Tsunade's opinions also carry a lot of weight to Shizune.Anyway, when it comes to things like falling in love, you are not afraid that two people will quarrel as soon as they meet, or you are afraid that no one will say anything, or you are not afraid that two people will look down on each other, but you are afraid that they will not even think about it.

However, Minato really didn't expect that Shizune, who had not been good at rejecting other people's kindness since childhood, would choose to complain to Tsunade.Although as Hokage, his face has long been trained to be thicker than the city wall. It doesn't matter if he is scolded, but Shizune wants to make it clear to Kakashi.

Kakashi's attention was only on the young chuunin whose hands were shaking after applying iodine and applying a few electrodes.

First, medical ninjas will never take the initiative to go to the front line of the battlefield;

Second, medical ninjas can only die after everyone else;

Third, Konoha ninjas are strictly prohibited from fighting beyond their level unless they have to, and the same is true for medical ninjas.

The Medical Ninja Regulations, which were written as an annex to Konoha's welfare system nine years ago, deleted the first article of Tsunade's version, "Never give up treatment before teammates' health is exhausted", and added "Do not leapfrog".

As the teacher once said, Konoha has the most medical ninja, the best hospital, and the most advanced technology in the world, but it is still not enough, far from enough. Konoha must use every ounce of strength to the extreme.So from very early on, long before the Nine-Tails incident, when Tsunade proposed the three principles of medical ninja, Konoha has not followed her three principles.The medical team will not save people who know that there is no point in rescuing them.

Not to leapfrog is a common sense engraved in the bones of Konoha ninjas.The mission hall will never assign tasks to genin C-level or above. On the contrary, Konoha Hospital will not let senior medical nins spend chakra to deal with small fractures that anyone can deal with.What if someone was stabbed in the heart by a knife and was poisoned and would die if not saved within 3 minutes, and a senior medical nin happened to be in the operating room to help the person reattach the thigh bone, and the difference was just a little bit of chakra and time.

Konoha's battle damage rate has been getting lower and lower over the years. Even if it fights an opponent like Pain, it can't be broken because of these two things.

but

"First-line ninjas are in the first rank, retired old guys are in the second rank; children and young people are in the first rank, and retired old guys are in the second rank. This is a policy that was set many years ago." Send away the trembling medical ninja, Kakashi felt a little sad, "This is discipline. So many people have followed it before, and you will not make an exception."

"Yes, retired old guys don't compete with frontline combatants or children for resources, especially medical resources." Minato buttoned up his pajamas and looked at Kakashi's clenched fists. He didn't know whether to feel relieved or guilty, but he I am convinced that Kakashi must have misunderstood something, "The Hokage leads Konoha. The Hokage is very important. The trouble caused by the sudden death of the first and second generations proves that the Hokage is more important than anyone in Konoha. But from today on, I am no longer Hokage, I will not be as important as before, and the contribution I can make to Konoha is quite limited. There is really no need to let Kabuto and Shizune run away for a trivial matter. There are only a few high-level medical ninjas in Konoha. ."

"But it's not wartime now, so there's no need to be so strict."

There is really no need to be so strict during non-war times, but Shizune didn't come in person. It's more likely that I really made Shizune anxious yesterday. That girl got angry and didn't want to see me for the time being.Minato couldn't change his words in the face of Kakashi's serious face, "I just remembered something else to tell you. Sarutobi Hiruzen has done many wrong things in his life, but it is slander to say that the old man messed up things on purpose. ”

"" Kakashi waved Yamato out. The fifth and fourth generations have completed the handover of functions, but the fourth generation still has a lot of fragmentary information that ordinary jounin should not know.

"Remember the smoking ban in the Hokage Building office area?" Minato also waved his hand to the angry ghost who was half-body stuck on the wall.

"Your first Hokage order." Kakashi thought the teacher was so boring at the time, but now that he thinks about it, the Yondaime back then was really childish and ridiculous.

"I really just wanted to help the Sandaime quit smoking." Minato laughed at himself, "Now I know that the main reason why I came to power in a hurry was that the Sandaime was impeached in the country. He had to take responsibility for the war losses, which was regarded as resigning. But at the time, I really thought that The third generation was simply physically overwhelmed. He was indeed in poor health during that time, and three of his disciples defected, and one ran away from home."

"However, the real point is that if the third generation doesn't let you become the fourth generation, the fourth generation is Shimura Danzo. I don't believe that the third generation's predicament is not helped by Danzo." Kakashi wanted to help the teacher who stood up.

"As a Jonin captain who is responsible for slaying generals and capturing the flag on the front lines." Minato pushed Kakashi away, "As a young man in my early twenties, I actually have no idea about becoming Hokage. I know very well that my mission is first and foremost. Study. But I made a mistake on the first day. I received the message that Sandai would die if he didn't quit smoking, so I got a no-smoking sticker from the medical class, and then I thought I was doing a good deed. Jiraiya-sensei is a disciple of Sandai, and I am Jiraiya As a disciple of the teacher, I have the obligation to take care of the health of my elders."

"" Kakashi remembers clearly that the third generation was indeed very close to the teacher in his earliest days.

"No elder would be really angry if a junior forced his elder to quit smoking. At that time, the Third Generation just complained to me very kindly." Minato took a deep breath again, "But it was much later, and it was only until Danzo was dying that I was really sure that the Third Generation at that time I was so angry that I gritted my teeth. After all, I just said a lot of my own vision for the future of Konoha at the inauguration ceremony."

"Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes." Kakashi wanted to laugh a little, "I remember that every time the third generation asked you for your opinion, you were so stupid that you always said something."

"No one told me not to say it." Minato really laughed, "The third generation acted as if he wanted to train me to be a unique Hokage. Of course I have to work hard to be a responsible and good Hokage. He has to make it clear early on that he is just a Hokage. Of course I will have objections to having a puppet as a puppet, but if we have objections, we will not be alienated by Danzo. Including the subsequent events of Kinai, Kyuubi and Naruto. So Kakashi"

Kakashi felt the weight of his teacher's hands on his shoulders.

"Don't be suspicious of your partners, don't test your partners, the fifth generation of Konoha, put your thoughts out in the open and tell everyone clearly. People have conflicts of interest and contradictions, but this is the internal affairs of Konoha Contradiction. Some people may want their family to prosper forever, and some may not like some of Konoha's policies, but no one wants to destroy Konoha. When someone wants to destroy Konoha, he will no longer be a partner. , but the enemy."

Kakashi nodded.

"Okay, don't worry about me, go back to the office quickly." Minato pushed Kakashi out of the door and pretended to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"You fooled him away." Uzumaki Kinai grabbed her man's ear but did not hesitate to twist it hard, "You just called the doctor."

"Well, I'll be standing there from 12 o'clock until the afternoon. Kakashi is worried and will bring someone to confirm my condition in advance."

Uzumaki Kinai held Minato's head and looked into those bright blue eyes, "You really don't have a word of truth in your mouth."

Kakashi felt something was wrong when he went out, but he couldn't figure it out even after sitting in the office for a long time after breakfast.But he was soon dragged away by Genma, and before leaving, Sarutobi Asuma stuffed a hand with documents.No matter how important the inauguration is, daily work cannot be delayed.

"Light, don't make the top light so bright, it will make Godaime's face pale. Yes, add a color temperature."

"Speaker, check the wiring and microphone again. The sound of the fifth-generation in-ear monitor is a bit loud."

"Subtitles team, subtitles team, combine the script with the sound and lighting, why was it just one second slower than the music?"

"At the cutting scene, I asked you yesterday to change the flowers on the rostrum into small pots. Why didn't you change it? The camera panned to the third generation's face. If you ask me what I mean, I said, the third generation's face is blocked by the flower pot."

Blocking and masking active and passive

January 63, Konoha [-]

There are still 59 minutes and 1 second before Hatake Kakashi officially puts on the Hokage jersey.
