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

Fire Country Konoha

It's early morning again

It's still snowing

"Godai, Godai, wake up, don't sleep."

It was the fourth day that Hatake Kakashi officially became Hokage. He used to drag his teacher out of bed in the middle of the night, but now he was dragged by others, "Mochi Zaizhi, you are the best."

"The scar-faced old man who raises deer has urgent information."

Kakashi got up and resisted the urge to throw the pillow out. He really began to understand the teacher's anger when he got up, "Where is the person?"

"outside."

Kakashi washed his face and walked out.

"Mask."

Kakashi covered his face and glared at Zabuza, "Two glasses of boiled water."

Zabuza pouted and went to pour the water. As the horse bone that the daughter of Konoha bought, did he really want to serve tea and pour the water until he retired?

"Add ice." Kakashi also didn't expect that he would be able to use it like this in the future. "Good evening, Mr. Minister of Intelligence."

Nara Shikaku stood straight in front of the big desk, still not used to Kakashi who always sat at an angle.

"Please report."

Shikaku looked behind Kakashi.

Kakashi glanced at Zabuza and asked, "Is level two alert enough?"

"First class."

Kakashi drank water and waved, and there were only two people left in the Hokage's office.

"Uchiha Mikoto showed up." Shikaku spoke slowly after confirming that no one was eavesdropping.

"Are you dead?"

"Alive." Shikaku felt that it was very difficult to talk to Kakashi, "Yu No Kuni, disguised as a businessman fighting for family property, posted an S-level mission at the bounty house, searching for something that was not but capable of suffocating people to death. Drug."

"Oh."

"What do you mean?"

"Have you noticed that Itachi went to Yuno Country after dinner yesterday?"

""

"It's true that the lady hasn't been out of work for a long time. It's hard to find her without covering her face. She's so tightly wrapped and sneaky that she was targeted by ANBU as soon as she arrived in the Kingdom of Yu. She even dared to go to the bounty house. When she came out of it, Shisui Received the letter." Kakashi played with the Flying Thunder God communicator in his hand, and warned himself from the bottom of his heart, he must learn to fight for the right to speak, and don't let others lead you at your own pace. Yes, you are the Fifth Hokage, you can do it , "Also, I forgot to tell my seniors that the business of rebellious ninjas is getting harder and harder to do. After a while, except for the lurking own people, probably the entire bounty house will defect to Konoha. The previous arrangements of the teacher and Aburame-senpai, Now it’s blossoming.”

"The Fourth Hokage never does meaningless things." Shikaku took a deep breath. He could help the Third Generation cover up the details and truth of the Nine-Tails Incident in front of Minato, and Minato would naturally be able to make another attempt to evade him. There are soup houses and roadside inns that are full of people from the Land of Fire. OK, I can retire peacefully tomorrow."

Kakashi glanced at the large photos of past Hokages on the wall, and stopped at the teacher's serious face. He continued to repeat in his heart that you can do it, you can definitely do it, why don't you just speak slower and think about it before you speak, \\\" I hand all this over to the Intelligence Department, Shikaku-senpai, can you build a new intelligence system for Konoha before officially retiring? The internal friction between the two teams is really serious."

""

"Teacher, you are growing stronger with outside intelligence. Find someone to replace your mind. But I am me, I am not my teacher." Kakashi remembered the teacher's words and used imperative sentences in public to pressure others, and questions in private. , in short, I can only let the other party answer yes or no, "No matter whether senior has doubts about me becoming Hokage, at least, I believe that senior will definitely not betray Konoha, right."

"Yes."

"You once had objections to what the Yondaime Hokage wanted to do." Yes, that's it. No matter how nervous you are, you have to hold on to your face. Don't make any small movements. Don't hesitate in your eyes. Drink water if you need to stop and think. When pressing the head, keep a close eye on the other person's eyes.Kakashi looked directly at Nara Shikaku, silently saying that he must be firm and firm, "But now there should be nothing for senior to object to what the Fifth Hokage wants to do, right?"

"Yes, sir." Nara Shikaku was stared at by Kakashi, and suddenly felt inexplicable fear.It wasn't that he was afraid of Kakashi, who he had watched grow up, but it was as if he had broken into an unfamiliar place, very strange.

"Okay, you are not young anymore. Go to bed early and get up early." Kakashi stood up to leave, but was held back by Nara Shikaku.

"It's not finished yet." But regardless of whether he is a stranger or Kakashi has grown up, even the old fox Minato Namikaze cannot do it if he wants to scare the intelligence minister with an IQ of 200. "Then, Lord Godaime, how are you going to solve this problem?" , Uchiha Mikoto."

"She is not an active ninja and has no position inside or outside the Hokage Tower. She is an important family member of a high-level Konoha official." Kakashi chewed the ice cubes loudly. "It's not like she was kidnapped when she ran out. Whose family member is that?" Let’s deal with it.”

"She was investigating the source of the drug that caused Fugaku's death." Nara Shikaku took another deep breath.

Kakashi swallowed the broken ice and said, "Then let her check."

"But what if it turns out to be your teacher's fault?"

Kakashi was silent for a second and sat back in his chair, "It's ridiculous for a Hokage to kill his own security minister, his long-time friend and supporter. Don't be suspicious. Why would the teacher tick you when he was sick?"

"Didi." Shikaku hesitated for a second and picked up the cup, "Godai, since you believe me, then I have to say it straight. I don't care whether you are really smart or pretending to be stupid. Now is not the time to pretend to be stupid."

"Oh," Kakashi drawled.

"The Uchiha family is a very troublesome group of people for Konoha, they"

Kakashi interrupted Nara Shikaku, "There's something I can't figure out. Why do you always stare at Uchiha? What did they do wrong because of the so-called Sharingan curse?"

"No, that's just for outsiders to listen to." Nara Shikaku put the cup to his mouth, "Uchiha attaches too much importance to the family, and Konoha just talks about yourself, you have trained hard and worked hard since you were a child, what are you doing for that?"

"Konoha, protect everyone in Konoha."

"Then think about it again, what did that bastard Fugaku or your former teammate Uchiha Obito yell about all day long?"

Kakashi recalled it carefully, and finally extracted a sentence that would not fall to the Uchiha's reputation, "Haha, for this kind of thing."

"That's enough. Uchiha is different from other ninjas in Konoha." Shikaku said word by word, "Excluding dissidents. To put it another way, it means that people are different and do not want to work together. To put it another way, they don't want to think about each other at the critical moment. Being held back by betrayal."

Kakashi also said word by word, "Yes, even if what you said is right, what did the Uchiha on the memorial tablet do wrong? Or did Itachi do something wrong? What did Sasuke do wrong? Those Uchiha who have been fighting for Konoha through life and death. What did Bo do wrong again?”

"Then why do you think Itachi was assigned to ANBU at such a young age? What does Sandai do when he stays in the ninja school every day and becomes an honorary principal? Your teacher has turned the special assassination unit directly under the Hokage into a training base for sunshine youth with five lectures and four beauties. What are you doing again?" Nara Shikaku sighed, "Think about it again, what is the average age of the current Uchiha, except for Shisui, who is a weirdo, Itachi is considered a senior."

"No." Kakashi wanted to retort, but didn't know where to start.

"Young Uchiha received the same education as other children in Konoha. But before, the ninja school only had taijutsu and ninjutsu, and the rest relied on family inheritance." Shikaku sneered, "Uchiha Fugaku, he is indeed very supportive. Your teacher’s education of love has allowed him to marry foreigners. But you have to understand that this is just because if he doesn’t obey the fourth generation’s instructions, the third generation will order Itachi to destroy his entire clan.”

""

"How willing is a person who is forced to bow his head? At least Fugaku has never been willing to do so. Huh, Uchiha who loses his temper at the critical moment, do you think he is just a careless Uchiha who doesn't bend his back all day long? Doing things will be sloppy”

"But" Kakashi still wanted to refute, but couldn't form the words.

Shikaku rubbed the old scar on his head and stared at Kakashi, "Yes, Minato and Fugaku are indeed good friends, but outside of their personal relationship, they are still the Hokage and Saru who maintain the unity of Konoha. Once they are completely integrated into Konoha , the head of the Uchiha family who will disappear in the long history of Konoha. From the first to the fourth generation of Konoha,

The four Hokages have been together for more than 60 years, some want to get there in one step, and some want to take it slow, but the original intention has never changed. After all, Konoha wants to become a whole, no longer an alliance of several big families; and Uchiha wants to For Konoha, it is best to be vassalized by other small families led by Uchiha. "

""

"Not all families can be as courageous as the Senju, and they will not hesitate to directly disband non-direct clan members, but at least everyone is willing to work hard towards the goal step by step. But the Uchiha who value the family will not be able to integrate in a few hundred years. Of Konoha. This is the irreconcilable conflict between Uchiha and Konoha. So, if, I mean if, before Itachi and Sasuke really grow up, Minato Namikaze, the only one who can make all parties worship him, passes away, and in these years Fugaku, who gained great fame following Minato, is still alive."

"Then why not let him be Hokage?"

Shikaku looked at Kakashi like he was a fool, "Then let the leader of the country continue to be the leader of the country, and Konoha will continue to submit to the capital. Why not?"

Kakashi lowered his head to drink water.

"Godai, do you still remember your teacher? At that time, you were walking with a wave of hair, and your makeup couldn't cover up your pale face, but you insisted on saying that there was nothing wrong with your body. The big-headed ghost Fugaku died on September 60th. He died on November 60th. Just when you are so sick at the border that you can't get up, and you have torn off the Hokage cloak during the Chinese New Year, there are only more than [-] days left in between. Kakashi, more than [-] days."

"So, based on this." Kakashi hated Nara Shikaku, "You just accuse such a big blame with your white teeth, what do you think of the reputation of the Fourth Hokage?"

"It was someone who didn't trust anyone and insisted on acting alone, and then something went wrong."

"It's all your reasoning."

"I can't ask, but you can, go find your teacher to confirm or falsify. Our fourth generation Hokage, how did he operate at that time? Without knowing the specific details, it is more likely to leak if he rashly fills the pot."

"Since you asked my teacher and he said no, then it's not."

"Since Uchiha Mikoto dares to investigate, she must have grasped something. Now it is no longer possible to fool the past by refusing to admit it."

Kakashi drank the ice water in one gulp and recited the teacher's words silently. Don't be angry. Emotions are the Hokage's weapons and tools. Don't be angry.

Shikaku continued to persuade, "Golden Flash is not famous for his political skills. He was killed on the battlefield with one knife. Nara Shikaku's reputation is not for telling jokes and being clever. I was also killed with one knife. You ANBU The name of the Great Demon King is not just that he bullied a few juniors and was casually told not to deceive himself and others. We are ninjas. Ninjas who do things for money have never been righteous. Even now, it seems that we are building bridges, paving roads, fighting floods, and artificial rainfall every day. Even if we become good people and sit in the Hokage Tower, we are still politicians."

Kakashi didn't want to speak.

"Your teacher is like this, and so are you. Is it so difficult to admit that you are an unscrupulous bad person?"

"Then according to your words, what's the difference between us and Danzo?"

"How do you think Danzo Shimura died?"

Kakashi's head hurts.

Now that Shikaku has spoken, there is nothing he can't say, "That kind of person, if he hadn't been forced to have no choice, how could he not pull up his back before dying, and still sacrifice his life for Konoha Hospital to conduct drug experiments, and still miss the time to go there? Do you believe it?"

""

"In other words, your teacher is such an upright person. Suddenly one day he announced that he was cooperating with Danzo, who is hated by everyone. You are not surprised at all."

Kakashi was finally able to answer, "The third generation prevented Sensei from reforming, Danzo supported his reforming, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"Then what happens after the reform seems to be successful?"

""

"Godai, use your little head and think carefully about when Danzo got sick, when and how he died. When did Kabuto Yakushi follow your teacher? Why does your teacher have Then believe that kid. If Kiren doesn't surrender to Konoha, he will still kill a few people for Konoha. If he is a triple spy, he won't even need to surrender his name."

""

"Don't kid yourself, Kakashi, hey, Kakashi, what are you doing?"

Kakashi pressed the release button and signaled Zabuza to pull the person out. Then he looked at the Minister of Intelligence's cup of boiled water, which had been picked up and put down many times but not a single bit of water had been drunk into his stomach. He clenched his fist tightly. "Who's on duty upstairs tonight?"

"You know how fat you are."

"Ding Zao-senpai is indeed a fat man." Kakashi rolled his eyes at Zabuza, "But can you not say it?"

"If he is allowed to eat, why don't others say it?" Zabuza wiped the table and washed the cups.

Kakashi put on his tactical vest and formed the seal.

Konoha Jonin's single dormitory is no longer a block building that always blocks the sewers and is divided into men and women. The small but well-equipped townhouses are arranged in an order that seems chaotic but is very conducive to street fighting.The high and low roofs were covered with light snow that lasted for more than a day, which was very beautiful.

"Shisui, get up and pee."

"Godai, can you learn some lessons? It's scary to stand next to someone else's bed in the middle of the night." Uchiha Shisui was awakened by Kakashi. He put away the knife and waved his head to tell the ANBU who were watching the joke to get out of here. "I almost did. Just chopped it over."

"You can't hit me." Kakashi looked at Shisui's little red eyes, missing the days when he could use his Sharingan. "Get up, if you can't sleep, walk with me."

Shisui yawned and looked at his watch, got dressed, followed Kakashi and pushed the door out, "Are you having a nightmare, or are you regretting breaking up with Shizune?"

Kakashi lit a cigarette and left footprints on the empty road.

"Hey, Kakashi, if you regret it, you can go back to chasing Shizune. In fact, you two are really suitable for each other."

"I haven't noticed before." Kakashi motioned to the ANBU on duty to ignore the two of them, "You don't look like the same person at all when you are working and when you are not working."

"" Shisui asked Kakashi for help, "That's because with the Yondaime, I'm working on you all the time today."

"Nara Shikaku came to see me just now." Kakashi looked at the small snowflakes under the street lamp, "I decided to package Yunokuni to the Intelligence Department. Since I can't annex the Intelligence Department through external lines according to the teacher's plan, then Using the Intelligence Department to annex external lines will rot the meat in the pot anyway."

"It's up to you to decide this kind of thing." Shisui waited to hear what was going on.

"Although I think it's unnecessary, you said yesterday that you had already made arrangements for Uchiha Mikoto, right?" Kakashi raised his head and blew smoke rings.

"Since I dare to ask Itachi to find his mother, I won't let that woman cause trouble." Shisui blew out a smoke ring and failed, "Okay, Kakashi, the Hokage's job belongs to the Hokage, and the ANBU's affairs belong to the ANBU. The AN Minister specializes in helping the Hokage deal with matters in the dark. If you are worried about this, you can go back to sleep now. If you don't get enough sleep, you will become bald."

"I'm not going to be bald." Kakashi kicked to the side, missing Shisui, and kicked a crow away. Then he was chased by a group of crows and pulled his hair. "Hey, Shisui, is your crow?" Mixed with Aoba’s crow.”

"This is Aoba's crow." Shisui picked up a handful of snow and squeezed a fist-sized ball and threw it over.

"You, steal, attack." Kakashi didn't hide, he made a bigger snowball and threw it at him.

Shisui didn't dodge, he rolled out a ball as big as his face, hit Kakashi and smashed it down.

Kakashi followed suit.

Finally, back and forth, the two of them lay flat on the snow.

Kakashi looked at the starry sky, and the depression in his heart disappeared. "I really want to have another snowball fight with the teacher. I finally waited until I could beat him."

"After these few days of busy work, let Genma organize everyone to go to the hot springs together and help you buy some water guns." Shisui spat out the broken cigarette, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Kakashi turned away, "I really don't need help from the Intelligence Department."

Shisui got up and pulled Kakashi up, "Scarface who raises deer is always not confident about other people's IQ, but when it comes to doing things, what's the difference between a person with an IQ of 100 and a person with an IQ of 200."

Gap is used to distinguish people from each other

January 63, Konoha [-], everything goes well, please continue to do so tomorrow.
