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

Early October 60 in Konoha

Fire Country Konoha

11 am

Mitarashi Anko finally stepped through the door of Konoha's "Internal Investigation Section". She yawned and followed the people in front of her 1212, unconsciously replaying the three miserable days of her "investigated" life in her mind. .Well, she should actually be grateful, at least it's not the torture department, right?

But denying sleep is not an idea that a good person would come up with.Anyway, Anko was really sleepy in the end, so she signed the voluntary consent form to be hypnotized and finally confirmed again that she still had no evidence to prove that she had recently been in contact with the rebellious ninja teacher who had rebelled against the village and the country.Of course, there is still no evidence to prove that she has not been in contact with the legendary Orochimaru.

Hate.

Although Hongdou understands very well that "being investigated" is indeed the same as mental training on the premise that there is no threat to his life.but

But it doesn't matter, she's used to it anyway.From the age of 12 until she finally became a Jonin a few years ago, she would almost, definitely be treated like this at least once a year.But is it necessary? I kept asking, "Where is Orochimaru? Did Orochimaru come back to see you? Did Orochimaru give you anything?"

Yep, people who haven't seen each other for more than ten years still know what he looks like.And she really didn't remember she had ever had such a cool teacher.She was sure that the first time she heard the strange name "Orochimaru" was in the ANBU interrogation room.

How cruel. A 12-year-old girl was hung up and beaten for information that was actually useless. She really thought she was dead at the time.But as a result, she is still alive and well until now.

Well, Anko had to admit that her being alive and well had nothing to do with whether being "regularly questioned" was necessary.She was just lucky enough to be noticed by the current Hokage.Well, but that person was not a high-ranking person at that time, so even if he dared to secretly release the Thor coordinates in the ANBU dungeon, what would be the point?

She deserves to go home and kneel down with her on Sister Qinai’s plan.

Fortunately, that guy secretly lied to her that "interrogation" was "normal special training." Otherwise, she might have been beaten into submission.When the time comes, hehe, the Hokage candidate who has a good relationship with the rebellious ninja disciples

Mitarashi Anko secretly smiled, and with a "get down" sound, she stepped on the heel of the person in front of her.

"Kakashi, why are you putting your feet under my feet?"

Hearing Anko's unreasonable remarks, Kakashi Kakashi, the former Hokage Guard Captain and current acting AN Minister, once again felt the urge to strangle the woman behind him.Why on earth did he have to put down all the work he was doing to stand up for such a top-notch woman? "Don't make excuses after we've known her for so many years."

Anko pursed her lips in grievance upon hearing this, "Kakashi, have you ever thought about a question?"

"Say." Kakashi continued walking slowly.

"If what they say is true, my teacher is Orochimaru. Then, as Orochimaru's classmate's disciple's disciple, Kakashi, I am who you are, I am an elder~"

Is it so funny? Kakashi listened to the silly girl behind him giggling sillyly.Once again, I understood why his teacher always said that "torture" is actually the same thing as "mental training", "I was so desperate just now, so who can show me how energetic I am now?"

"Ah, Kakashi, why are you so serious? I haven't played an interrogation game for several years, so I'm a little excited." Anko grinned.

Kakashi looked at the row of little white teeth shining in the sun, and his heart began to feel cold, "Don't imitate Kai, okay? Also, don't blame the teacher, this time, he..."

"I know, I know." Anko replied, "That Orochimaru did something to me. There must be a reason why the Fourth Generation decided to do this. You senior leaders have been undercurrents all day long. Besides, he He is the Hokage, and he must give everyone an explanation. I understand that he is doing it for my own good, and I am a Jonin after all. When I am so sensitive, it is better to have a little conclusion than to start being doubted all day again. "

"You." Kakashi looked at Anko, who was eagerly looking for a reason, and knew what he should say at this time, but he found that he had nothing to say.

"Okay Kakashi, I haven't eaten in three days. Please treat me to some meatballs. Don't be busy."

"Fortunately, let's go to the market. The teacher just said that he wants to eat hot pot in the evening before the weather warms up. I can meet Kai in the afternoon and I will inform him. Don't be late."

"I won't go. I'm losing weight." Hongdou yawned, "And I'm sleepy even if I haven't slept for three days."

It’s better not to mention the past again

in the afternoon

Ministry of Information

"Hurry up, it's rare that I don't have to work overtime today." Minato Namikaze sat on the chair of the intelligence minister, playing with the pigeon skeleton, urging his minister to speak quickly.

"It's not proven yet that Hongdou has no problem." The person standing across the table patiently tried to persuade the guy who robbed his office.

"But you can't prove that there's something wrong with her."

"The Yondaime Hokage, please don't be emotional."

"I left it to you to investigate what you mean by being an emotional person, but nothing was found."

"I have reservations. I know you want to take advantage of the Chunin Exam to promote Anko. But this person is too risky, and the General Staff also means the same thing."

"Risk means opportunity. Even when you fall in love, you still pick the wrong person. Anyway, no matter what Orochimaru does this time, nothing will be good for Konoha in the end. You also know that the guy Kazekage is unwilling to give up now. He is not enough in the first place. For the sake of worry, the Kingdom of Wind has chosen Konoha between Suna Ninja and Konoha. Let alone the fact that he can't win, he has no money even if he wants to fight. But Orochimaru is poor and only has money. So he still does it Be prepared for a fight."

"This has nothing to do with Anko."

"It doesn't matter. Why do I have to take Anko out during the Chinese New Year? Why did the Council of Elders agree with me taking Anko out? Haven't you thought clearly?" Minato Namikaze looked down on the Minister of Intelligence, "My analytical skills have deteriorated."

"I am only responsible for providing information, not analysis." Nara Shikaku was a little irritated. He found that as long as he was involved with Orochimaru, everything would be in a fog. Not only was there not one person playing chess, but Not even a game of chess is hard to say.

"So your opinion is meaningless." He said this, but our Hokage still felt that it was necessary to unify his thoughts with his right-hand man. "The attitude of the Elders Council is that since it cannot be confirmed where Orochimaru will start,

It's better to use red beans to leave him a loophole.The Chunin Exam was a good opportunity for Orochimaru to cause trouble.besides"

Seeing the Hokage's tendency to speak at length, the intelligence chief, whose patience has become increasingly erratic recently, directly interrupted his boss, "Don't you just want to wipe out Anko before you start fighting Orochimaru?"

"Do I have it?"

Seeing the look in his boss's eyes that showed no guilt at all, Shikaku felt helpless, "I know that Anko has been with you since Orochimaru ran away. After raising her for more than ten years, you can't let go of her now. But you can't leave her alone."

"According to what you say, I, the Hokage, who just drinks and chats with Orochimaru when I have nothing to do, can't make more sense."

"It's not the same thing. Who doesn't know that Anko was left by Orochimaru in Konoha."

"I don't care, this is settled. I will start to reuse her in the Chuunin exams. Even the Council of Elders has no objection."

"Yes." Seeing the Hokage starting to act rogue, the Minister of Intelligence hated the other colleagues who asked him to dissuade him. But just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Come in." Namikaze Minato answered for his minister first.

The senior employee of the intelligence department who opened the door thinking he had entered the wrong office was sweating under the inexplicable gaze of the Hokage, so he could only bite the bullet and report, "The Mizukage is calling."

Shikaku stretched out his hand to take the telegraph message and waved his subordinates away. He realized that he began to hate this Mizukage, always interrupting at critical moments, "There is a girl from Namikaze Minato writing you a letter. Do you want to read it yourself or should I help you?" read."

"Bring it here," Minato said angrily.

"What did that woman say?" Looking at Minato who was leaning closer to the note, he looked at it seriously. The fire of gossip of the senior intelligence minister who was suffering from occupational diseases was still burning brightly.

Minato returned the note to Shikaku, "You better read it. The writing is thinner than a mosquito's legs. It's very laborious."

"How can intelligence be written in such big letters?" Shikaku took out his folding glasses from his coat pocket and opened the note, looking at Minato who was still rubbing his eyes vigorously, "You should also get some glasses sometime."

"Stop talking nonsense, Nian."

"Ahem," Lu Jiu coughed lightly and started reading:

Namikaze Minato, the Country of Waves is a vassal state of the Country of Water just by its name. What right do you have to interfere in the internal affairs of the Country of Waves?Even if you want the Kingdom of Waves, we have no problem with it, and it doesn't matter if you kill legitimate businessmen, but it doesn't matter if you blame us Mist Ninja. As a potential ally, I think you need to give me a reasonable explanation for this matter.Also, I hope to receive an invitation to visit the Chunin Examination.I heard that Konoha is prosperous, and as a Mizukage who is also one of the Five Kages, I feel that I am still qualified to ask the Hokage to accompany me personally.Terumi Mei.

Shikaku suppressed a smile, "Minato, let's go on a date. She wants to date you."

Naruto rolled his eyes at Shikaku, "If she doesn't want to be eaten up by the Kingdom of Thunder and the Cloud Ninja, she can only come to the Kingdom of Fire and Konoha to record:

Since the end of World War III, the Country of Waves has separated from the Country of Water and become an independent country with complete sovereignty.In fact, it was the Kirin rebellious ninja Kijin Momochi Zabuza who killed Kado. As a potential ally, it was his duty to help eliminate the rebellious ninja.It was also verified that Cardo violated the laws of the Kingdom of Waves in many places.Given that the Country of Waves now has a de facto employment relationship with Konoha, Konoha will not give up any means to protect the territorial integrity and economic security of the Country of Waves.The Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

"Give her an invitation?"

"She doesn't dare to leave her nest easily now. Let's wait until her military observers arrive at the gate of Konoha. Okay, I'm going back, there are still things over there."

The intelligence minister, who had not achieved any goal, could only sigh silently at his missing boss and call on his subordinates to send a reply.

At this time, the Hokage's office

Asuma, Kakashi, Kurenai and Kai, the jounin instructors who were called over by the Hokage for a meeting, have been waiting for the Hokage for a short time.Kakashi, who had just gotten rid of Gai's unreasonable entanglement, was thinking about whether he should interrupt Asuma's urge to light a cigarette, which had failed to pester Sunset Red, when the owner of the office came back.

"Asuma." The Hokage, who was already sitting behind the desk, raised his finger at his addicted subordinate.

Asuma immediately put out his cigarette with a smile.

"Take them all out and confiscate them." Minato looked at Asuma seriously.

Reluctantly, Asuma took out a cigarette case and placed it on the table, and then took out another cigarette case under the red jounin's sharp eyes.

The Hokage then nodded to Kakashi, "How are things going?"

"Ah, the first one is OK, but the latter one is not OK." Kakashi answered casually. He saw the teacher who looked a little gloomy because he heard that Anko was not going to come to have dinner with him in the evening, so he immediately added, " But I’ve bought the things.”

Namikaze Minato nodded again, then faced the others and started talking about business,

"I called you here specifically to ask who of your students you think is not suitable to take part in the Chunin Examination in March."

""

"If you have any questions, please tell me Kai"

"Sir, I am a second-year genin who has been at the border for three months." Gai looked at Kakashi provocatively.

Naruto ignored Kai's usual absence and looked at the other people, "Asuma, Kurenai"

"No problem." The two jounin replied confidently in unison.

Namikaze Minato was surprised, "Then why didn't everyone give a positive reply when I sent the notice? I thought there would be some problem."

"It's better to check again before you feel at ease." Asuma Sarutobi stood at attention, saluted, and smiled.

"But please rest assured, sir, the results after inspection are pretty good." Xiyang Hong also stood at attention and saluted, "I have confidence in my students."

"Ah, there's more." Gai hugged Kakashi's neck from behind and replied after Kakashi knocked him down with his backhand, "Kakashi said last month that he would treat us when he got back from the mission, so we can come together today. "

"Really?" Minato interrupted Kakashi who was about to say something to Kai, and looked at the disciple who was being heckled with a smile, "Kakashi, you have enough money."

Kakashi was a little hesitant, but Minato didn't give Kakashi time to object, "Hey, you go back to playing red, watch them get drunk and don't make trouble."

It was early February 60 in Konoha. Spring was warm and the flowers had not yet bloomed.

After sleeping until dinner time, Mitarashi Anko was finally ready to eat hot pot together, but unfortunately, the lights in Namikaze House were always dark.
