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

The time is March 3

Konoha 60 years

Fire Country Konoha

Drill Ground No. 44

dead forest

The second survival drill of the Chunin Examination is now underway.

Game rules: Survive within 5 days, get the land scroll of the sky scroll, get the sky scroll of the earth scroll, and reach the center tower of the training ground 10 kilometers away with the two scrolls of heaven and earth to pass.

If you peek at the scroll midway or if a member dies or is unable to continue, you will be deemed a failure.

At this time, it had been 12 hours since the genin entered this strange forest.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Uzumaki Naruto finally opened his eyes.

Sasuke, who was on guard, waved slightly to say hello to him.

Naruto nodded to show that he received it, and then pointed to Sakura to wake her up now.

Sasuke shook his head, pointed to the sky and waited until dawn before taking action.

Naruto stated that it would be in the best interest of the ambusher to receive the darkness.He pointed at Sasuke again and made a sleeping gesture.

Sasuke nodded, closed his eyes, and Naruto continued to be vigilant.

Naruto was on serious alert, but looking at Sasuke who quickly fell asleep in 30 seconds, he finally opened his mouth once, and the word "well-trained" suddenly popped into his mind.

This made Naruto feel a little uncomfortable. He thought about last night again and his face turned slightly red.

Their team ran and stopped, avoiding two rounds of ambush, and successfully ambushed a team. Sasuke picked the weakest team from the moment they entered the field. Fortunately, they got the Earth Scroll.Then the cat found a safe place to camp behind the other teams to avoid unnecessary fighting.It was originally agreed to take turns on duty, and Sakura was on the first duty, which went smoothly. However, when Sakura called her for the second shift, Sasuke was woken up. Before he woke up, he was almost surrounded by the passing team from a distance. Found out, he hasn't woken up yet.

Well, he slept through the whole night without even a dream, but when the time came to five o'clock in the morning, Naruto finally admitted that it was not a good habit to have his biological clock too punctual.A qualified ninja should indeed be able to fall asleep anytime, anywhere and wake up at the slightest movement.

So even though that careless white-haired guy is not a serious instructor, he is not a serious instructor in the first place.But as a mentor, you should teach what you should teach, although it may be a little late

Naruto wiped off the dewdrops that had just landed on the tip of his nose and touched his tactical bag.The compressed food in the bag is enough for 3 people for 7 days; the weapons are double portions; and the medicines are comprehensive.Since their team had such a hidden bag at all times since they had a bad roast rabbit meal, they should consider whether to let Kakashi go quietly without complaining to his father after returning from the exam.Although it was a pity that he secretly ate the breakfast he made for his father for the first time in his life, but considering that the test questions he revealed were true, after all, they still had food for those who thought they could go back and prepare for the second test after the written test. The poor children who took the second exam shed tears of hunger and bitterness.

Naruto Uzumaki took a bite of Konoha Canteen's tasteless breakfast food, and while chewing silently, he felt the dark rainforest gradually begin to make sounds.He reached out and touched the two scrolls in his arms again, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, thinking whether he should suggest to everyone later that they just rush to the finish line. It was only 10 kilometers anyway and he really wanted to go home early.

Family.

8:[-] am

The Namikaze mansion is empty

Hokage office lounge

"Sir, it's 08:30."

Minato Namikaze lifted the quilt covering his head, and the secret guard Uchiha Shisui, who came to wake up the Hokage, trembled in fright.

"I know, do you need to say it several times if you're annoyed or not?" The Hokage sat up and gasped, "I'm suffocated."

Uchiha Shisui sighed, "You can't get up without calling me several times, sir."Also, I thought you really didn’t know that sleeping with your head covered can make it difficult to breathe.

"Why did you run out in broad daylight?" Naruto asked by the way while changing clothes, going to the toilet, and washing up.

"What do you want to eat?" the red-eyed secret guard answered while collecting clothes, folding quilts, making beds, and pouring water.

"Ichiraku." The Hokage who was brushing his teeth bit his toothbrush and squeezed out two words.

"There is no one." The secret guard put the compiled documents on the small coffee table in front of the sofa and waited for the Hokage to read through them.

"Then why do you ask me what I want to eat?" After finishing the preparation, the Hokage laid himself down on the sofa, rubbed his forehead, and didn't touch the things in front of him. "Stop reading, you can focus on important things."

The red-eyed secret guard put away the unsightly folder and called to the office, "012110."

"Yes, sir." Itachi, who was cleaning the office, heard the sound of the lounge and pushed the door in. He saw an unknown secret guard greeting him.Stunned.

The secret guard Shisui sighed and handed the document in his hand to Itachi, "File it. Also, go bring some ramen to the Hokage."

Itachi looked at his Hokage, who leaned his head on the sofa, closed his eyes, and ignored him.

The red-eyed secret guard sighed and could only reach out and pat Itachi on the shoulder, "I am the legendary night shift leader, go ahead."

Itachi looked up and down at the person in front of him, and after a few seconds, he turned around and went out.Firstly, no one who is not one of his would appear in the Hokage's office. Secondly, he had just confirmed that the smell of that person was very familiar. He felt that he had smelled it somewhere before. It should be someone he was very familiar with, but he did know this person. never seen it.

It was such an annoying feeling. Itachi sighed again. He felt that he had indeed sighed a little more in the past two months.Whether it's work or interpersonal relationships, what went wrong? He really wants to go back to the field. Really, he really shouldn't feel that those naked adoring looks make his skin crawl all over, and he shouldn't be bored either. The new members who were always overly excited to see him.He was wrong. He was wrong from the beginning. If he could be allowed to return to the field now, he would definitely support the younger generation. It is really not something a qualified senior can do to ignore the younger generation.

Looking at Itachi's somewhat dull back, Shisui also sighed. Is it true that his highly motivated younger brother can only perfectly activate the universal assistance system when facing Sasuke?

The Hokage, who had fallen asleep again, was beginning to lose his charm.

Shisui reluctantly took a coat from the hanger and walked forward quietly. His duty told him that he now needed to cover this guy who wore a ninja uniform all year round. The Hokage Studio was a bit too experienced, and the temperature Always changing.

"Say it." The shocked Hokage did not open his eyes.

"What can I say that nothing happened?" Shisui was startled, but continued his work, "No one moved, there was absolutely nothing unusual."

The Hokage sighed, rolled up his coat slightly, and moved his body to make himself more comfortable, "Tell me about today's schedule."

"Yes. 9:30, small conference room. Representatives representing the Lord of the Country of Fire and the Lord of the Wind Country continue to discuss strengthening the joint development and utilization of public facilities between the two countries." Shisui took out the Hokage's itinerary and read, " The issue of road connectivity and construction was almost settled yesterday. The Kingdom of Wind hopes to integrate with the water conservancy system of the Kingdom of Fire, use our water source to create an artificial oasis in the desert, attract and solve supplies for business travelers along the way, and hopes to send out ninjas. Find ways to change some local microclimates, so at least people can’t die of thirst every year.”

"Well. That seems to be the case. What did I say?"

Looking at the Hokage whose memory was obviously declining, Shisui opened the Hokage's notebook and said, "You hope that a unified law can be formulated to fairly define the behavior of the people of the two countries. On the basis of the booming business, frequent exchanges are not a problem. Frequent reasons. As well as establishing a central bank with the national credit of the two countries on the basis of a joint economic management agency and issuing a unified currency. The delegation from the Country of Wind agrees in principle, but has not officially expressed its position, saying that it will seek domestic instructions."

"I understand." The Hokage, who had woken up a little, opened his eyes, "How is the situation at the Chunin Examination?"

"As I said just now, sir. There is nothing unusual." The secret guard frowned, "You don't have to worry about that anymore. Kakashi is watching almost 24 hours a day, and Lord Jiraiya is also there. He can't be trusted. Isn't there a third generation? What?"

"The Third Generation is even more unreliable. I heard that Orochimaru is mainly here to cause trouble for him." The Hokage raised his eyebrows, "Ask Kakashi not to put everyone in one place. Since Jiraiya is accompanying the Third Generation, he will take the people back." Rest. Didn’t I tell you, don’t be so anxious, even if a fly bites an egg, there must be a gap.”

"It's only the second day, my lord."

"If you didn't take action last night, Orochimaru won't take action in the next few days."

How do you know the red eyes secretly guard the belly?

"I just know that our little baits are just a test. Only a fool can't see that you said Orochimaru has been tossing him for half a year. Why can't I still see what he wants to do? Let Konoha fall into trouble. It would be easier and faster for Chaos to kill me, right? If he is just like what he said to Jiraiya-sensei, just to avenge some inexplicable revenge for killing the third generation, he will not be so guilty of mobilizing troops. I can help him find 200 ways, and every method The success rate is much higher than the success rate of Konoha's collapse."

Shisui wiped away the cold sweat. He was sure that he would never have the bad habit of speaking out his slander, and how much resentment did his Hokage have towards the third generation to help Orochimaru think about such a problem.

However, the Hokage didn't care about the secret guard he was struggling with. He pulled his hair and continued to struggle, "It's annoying. What is his purpose? There is no one behind him at all."

Facing Naruto, who was in a bit of a mental state today, the secret guard could only comfort him, "Sir, I have some confidence in Kakashi."

"I'm not confident." The Hokage reached out to cover his eyes.

"How about I help you postpone the meeting for an hour and take a nap." The secret guard finally suggested.

"How about extending it to tomorrow." Naruto snorted.

"Don't think about the impossible and how to explain the day you disappeared to the representatives of various countries."

"Cold, fever, diarrhea, allergies, old injuries come back, just pick one."

"One hour is still enough to squeeze in, but if you have the whole day off today, it means it will be even busier tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Let's talk about tomorrow's matters tomorrow. If I faint during the meeting today, let's see what you will do."

The secret guard looked at the Hokage who really couldn't resist anymore and could only continue to sigh, "Go to sleep. You went to secretly watch your son's Chunin exam today."

"Good reason." The Hokage, who was just talking about it, decided to cancel the trip in an instant. Maybe he could really go see Naruto after waking up in the afternoon.

The red-eyed secret guard also leaned against the wall with a sigh of relief. The Hokage was resting. He could also squint a little. He hadn't slept for almost 50 hours.Looking at the Hokage who lowered his head for a moment, although he didn't want to move, the secret guard still had to perform his duties, "Sir, you can go back to bed."

"Hungry." The Hokage couldn't straighten his back. He felt that he had too much stomach acid and really should have eaten something before going to bed yesterday.

And at this time

The end point of the survival drill test, the center tower of Konoha's 44th drill ground

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was enthusiastically explaining to the guests the battle situation of the genin's survival drill. He looked at the broadcast screen with kind and serious eyes.

But those who were dragged from the conference room to listen to the commentary were not so serious.They gathered in Konoha once every three years not to watch the poor little genin perform clumsily.So within a short while, the rustling of twos and threes was almost overwhelming the chattering of an old man. It was rare that Minato Namikaze was not present, so he didn't seize the time to discuss the small pleasantries that should not have happened in the meeting. How long do we have to wait?

At this time, the Kazekage, who should be chatting with other forces to seek allies, was still standing silently with his arms folded and a cold face. His eyes seemed to be staring at the movements on the screen as closely as the former Hokage. .But he knew better than anyone else that his attention had never dared to leave the aging ninja.He couldn't figure it out, just like Minato Namikaze couldn't figure it out.Everyone is clearly in their places, why is no one moving?

It can't really be because of friendship.

Friendship means that you need me, I need you, and we exchange.If you don't need me and I don't need you, then it's hard to say that there is only love without friendship.
