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

It's July now, early July

Half of Konoha's 60 years have passed

The joint economic circle plan of the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire is advancing at an unparalleled speed.Now it seems that some procedures are basically running well.And what the Hokage once swore to predict, after enduring three wars, a blowout economic development has begun to take shape.

For example, according to the Mutual Assistance Treaty between Wind and Fire, cheap food produced from the Country of Fire can be brought directly to the Country of Wind in large quantities. Since then, the Country of Wind no longer has to worry about the food crisis and the resulting high crime rate and social unrest; The excess agricultural products of the Fire Country finally have a place to go, and they no longer have to worry about falling into an economic crisis due to a sharp drop in food.At the same time, the sand and various ores and gems from the Kingdom of Wind are also continuously entering the Kingdom of Fire, and are then sold from the Kingdom of Fire to all over the world. For the first time since the founding of the country, the Kingdom of Wind has fixed national fiscal revenue other than the head tax. ; And the Fire Nation's infrastructure plan will no longer have the headache of the surge in raw material costs, which can help Naruto completely solve the problem of the Fire Nation's population surge in the next 20 years and solve a big problem.Coupled with the elimination of various illegal armed and illegal economic forces on the border between the two countries, no one would laugh at the peace envisioned by Golden Flash. It was a big joke.If nothing unexpected happens.

Of course, all these predictions of a better future do not help people with different bottom lines to avoid disputes, disputes and disputes.Therefore, a "guideline of conduct" acceptable to all parties has become a top priority.

But unfortunately, the so-called unified law that has been on the agenda since the beginning of the negotiations has not been able to release any operational details until now. Without the Hokage sitting at the negotiating table, it is natural for no one to accept the wrangling of the other. It should be, and I don't think anyone is willing to casually discuss an idea that is different from Naruto's.

So, where is Naruto?

The young leader of the Country of Fire has always been silent, but recently he has been annoyed by the petition group from his country's business community. The leader of the Country of Wind only got a few words "Please be patient" written by the Hokage.

This did make the whole world a little nervous at first, but soon, observers and nails from various countries stationed in Konoha reported to the local forces, such as, Naruto seemed to be tripped up by something difficult inside Konoha. Come on, after all, Konoha just died of Shimura Danzo and Orochimaru; but please note that everything should still be under the control of Namikaze Minato. Reason [-]: The third generation did not say anything except occasionally attending necessary occasions for the fourth generation. .The second reason is that although the Hokage is not easy to see during this period, it is not that he has not shown up. The documents that should be approved by him are still being sent out from the Hokage Building in a steady stream every day. This proves that the Fourth Hokage is still working normally.

Therefore, please be patient and don't act rashly.

Golden Flash never does anything meaningless.

However, the above are all major events in the past few months. For most people living in this land, the more meaningful thing seems to be to fill their bellies and feed their children.

It's like this former war orphan who just found a job at the construction site of a large water conservancy facility built by the Kingdom of Wind in aid of the Kingdom of Wind is now an unemployed young man.He is a lucky war survivor who has never been taken in by any orphanage. He is still not sure whether he is from the Kingdom of Wind.But he can still instinctively confirm that he seems to have a safe and stable long-term job, and his one-day work income can fully support his wife. If she finds a wife and can do something to supplement the family income, they Can still afford to raise children.

So he suddenly realized that he definitely didn't want to lose this new job that provided him with enough food and only required hard work.As for having to shout a few times to thank Hokage-sama every day when he went to and from work to eat and collect money, he just tolerated it.

Although he hates it from the bottom of his heart.

Yes, that Hokage did do something good, but why should they thank a ninja or the most powerful ninja leader among ninjas.Those brats who were born after the war didn't understand, and he, who had experienced it firsthand, didn't understand how many people a ninja had to kill in order to be promoted to a ninja leader. What was there to admire about such a person?

It's a joke. If it weren't for those ninjas, maybe everyone would have lived well now, with their own hometown, their own land, their own house, home, parents, husband and wife, several children, and maybe even cows. Chicken and duck.If it weren't for those ninjas, how could he have lost those things that should have been his own?

Curse those devils with blood on their hands to die early. Once they die, there will be no more wars.Then when he finds a wife and gives birth to a child, there will no longer be parents who die in pieces in front of their children and children who starve to death in front of their parents.

So hunger is a very annoying thing, but only those who have been hungry can understand it.

Fire Nation, Frontier

early morning

A child huddled quietly in a tree hole in a dense forest.Under him were rotten leaves stained with dew and soil, but he didn't seem to notice this uncomfortable feeling called wetness at all. Maybe it was because he was a little different from others. Anyway, if someone could peep carefully at this time like the author, You can still find a thin layer of sand behind the child.The layer of sand seemed to be alive, working hard to isolate the child from any uncleanness, cold or harm.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the child seemed to feel something. He stretched out his hand and opened his eyes again, and he was already standing outside the cave looking at the prey in his hands.

The child didn't seem to scream and came up to the guy in his hand who didn't know what danger was.However, I think he thought it was true that this thing tasted pretty good.

I saw him skillfully tearing open the prey's neck, drinking the gush of red blood, but the blood did not leave any mark on his body or face. This is just because he is Gaara, Gaara. There is the omnipotent sand.

But he was hungry, so he could only find a way on his own.

So Gaara paused and looked at the once-living object that was no longer moving in his hand. After thinking about it, he peeled off the fur, tore off a small piece along the direction of the muscles, put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully. " It tastes really bad,” he seemed to be thinking, “but at least it’s easier to swallow than roasting it over fire.”

Gaara swallowed his saliva and put out of his mind the roasted bird that he had eaten yesterday, which didn't feel right.He even began to feel that the prey he had just eaten might have eaten the legendary poisonous mushrooms, otherwise there would not always be many flavors in his mouth unconsciously, about the food he had eaten. them.Moreover, every time he was hungry, he felt a little regretful about why he had to run away.

He knew that he killed what he shouldn't have killed.But he was asleep at the time. What could he do if the one in his body wanted to kill someone? Besides, he had no intention of not taking responsibility.Otherwise, he wouldn't be in a familiar dungeon when he woke up, and he wouldn't be able to have his whole body tied up with messy chains and seals, and there would be nothing to break free from.This kind of thing doesn't just happen if you get used to it.

But in the end, it was all Temari's fault.Why did he break in in the middle of the night and just break the seal and let him run away? At that time, he was feeling sleepy and uncomfortable, but he didn't just listen to what was said.And are women really fools? Just tell him to run, he must run far away from people, and he must leave the Kingdom of Wind.

But after leaving the Kingdom of Wind, if you want to go elsewhere, you must go through the Kingdom of Fire, silly woman.

When Gaara saw the desert turning into Gobi grassland and then into a forest, he knew that he had arrived in the Land of Fire.He also knew that walking further ahead was Konoha, he knew the way to Konoha and he had only been to Konoha.

But do he really want to go to Konoha? He was a little hesitant.He never worried about being chased by Suna Ninja, he could kill a few of them.But he was a little worried about Konoha's ANBU.He didn't like the dagger-like looks from the dark guys in Konoha, especially when he noticed the Hokage's son intentionally or unintentionally.Besides, there's actually nothing bad in the forest.At least it's fair, the stronger one gets the food and fills his stomach.Although the taste of food is always a problem, Gaara continued to tear the fresh bloody meat with his hands, and inexplicably found in his mind the delicious fried noodles of Konoha food, and other than fried noodles, it was unpalatable. Konoha cafeteria.

In short, Gaara has been running for three months, and he has long been impatient.

Ah, impatient

What do you do to pass the time when you are bored?

Fire Country Konoha

1 o'clock sharp

Sarutobi's house

The deep house is very quiet, all kinds of trees are lush and green, and large shadows are cast on the floor for short periods of time.

Konoha's former Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen could only sigh softly, Konoha's spring has really passed.

Suddenly, a rapid ringing of a bell rang, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled while he was thinking.He was a little at a loss as he picked up a small communicator next to him and pressed the answer button unnaturally. Immediately, Mito Kado's voice came out from inside, "The third generation just communicated. What's the matter? I was eating, so I didn't hear it. "

Sarutobi was silent for a moment after hearing this, "It's okay. I'm just asking if you are free in the afternoon. Let's play chess."

"Tomorrow. My son will return from a mission today."

Sarutobi continued to be silent for a while, "Okay, I'll go find you tomorrow."

"no problem."

Then there was a blind beep.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, looked for the green fluorescent screen, and closed it. He was still not used to this kind of thing.

The so-called "remote communicator" is indeed easier to use than ordinary walkie-talkies.As long as a signal transceiver device is set up within a certain range, everyone in the entire area who has such a thing can communicate with each other, and it cannot be intercepted by non-technical owners. The new invention Minato Namikaze recently brought out seems to be a flying device. The communication version of the Thunder God Technique, and if there are no omissions in the internal testing, it is likely to be promoted throughout Konoha and even the entire Fire Nation in the future.

"Nonsense." Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed lightly and took a puff of his cigarette.He looked left and right at the walkie-talkie with a screen, and almost threw it away with a swing of his arm.But in the end he sighed again. The former Hokage found that he could not understand his successor, the golden flash Minato Namikaze even more.

Call him not a good Hokage, but that kid is much better than everyone thinks.It can be said that he is a good Hokage. The Hokage who likes to use himself as the Prime Minister of the Fire Country is quite awkward, but he can still stand up. However, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who likes to use himself as an inventor and businessman, has once again set his sights on the hand. This thing appeared together with the current Hokage, who had been missing for half a month, and he couldn't help but twitch his face.

At first, I saw that Minato's child looked unhappy, and I thought he was tired some time ago and was taking sick leave because he was ill.But

Well, who says a person with a pale face and a weak look must be a genius on sick leave?The most typical example is that his smartest disciple, that kid, doesn't care about anything once inspiration strikes. He goes straight to the laboratory and doesn't see anyone for ten and a half months. He doesn't give up until he gets some results.Yes, Namikaze Minato's state during that period was really similar to that of Orochimaru when he was a child.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh again. He knew that he shouldn't think of that child again, because it was meaningless.

Possible

Forget it, forget it, I can’t control it.Still focus on the present.

The former Hokage was in a bad mood and he accidentally saw a table full of sumptuous lunch in front of him, which made his mood even worse.He decided not to waste it, but to hurry up and find someone to eat.So I had no choice but to continue broadcasting the number 000256 and transferred to Xiaochun.That's what it says in the instructions. During the testing phase, you can press the ninja number of whomever you call.

"Hey, Sarutobi, what's going on?"

Listening to Koharu's voice, Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly, "Come to my place for lunch."

Xiaochun replied, "I ate. What's wrong with you eating so late today?"

"Ah, it's a little late. Just forget it after you eat. You can continue to take a nap."

Sarutobi Hiruzen silently pressed the switch off, and then took off the battery of this device.He suddenly realized that if his phone was turned on and others knew his number, then anyone could find him at any time. It was really uncomfortable.

But he immediately regretted it. If Men Yan and Xiaochun didn't come, he might be able to call someone else, but the small black battery couldn't be safely installed.Really

"Sandaime-sama, let's eat first. Don't wait for Jiraiya and Konohamaru. Didn't they already say they won't go home for lunch?" The old butler who silently appeared silently handed over a pair of chopsticks, "How about I go Warm up the rice."

"It's summer."

"Yes, it would be a waste if these two children didn't come back to eat or tell them earlier."

"Yes, it's a shameful waste." Hiruzen Sarutobi took the chopsticks and handed them back.

But the butler didn't answer. He said, "Sir, I've already eaten."

It's past one o'clock in the afternoon, and there are always a few people who haven't had lunch.

So Fire Country, Konoha, Namikaze House

Also finished lunch.

Naruto Namikaze Minato had already finished the work he had to do today in the morning. It just so happened that Naruto didn't have much to do today.So, he unceremoniously skipped work and went home.He was currently sitting on the sofa, smiling as he watched the commotion in his living room. Jiraiya had snatched Konohamaru's goggles, and Naruto was helping his little brother Konohamaru, or so they called him, to snatch them back.But it seems that Naruto is still not tall enough. What about Kakashi? The idiot who lost the game after dinner is washing the dishes.Minato curled his lips, he thought it was wise to give Kakashi a half-day off today, at least someone would wash the dishes, haha.But his little old house does seem cramped when there are so many people.Once everyone starts playing, even washing a bowl can block the road.

And Kakashi did feel that he was blocking the way, but he had to stand by the pool to wash the dishes.As for the occasional fists and legs that were deliberately thrown at him, it would be better if he dodged them so that he wouldn't get angry so easily. Seeing as it was really lively today.

Although the people who were supposed to come still didn't come, at least Jiraiya-sama was followed by a lively Konohamaru who was jumping around.Otherwise, it would be a bit boring to have a meal with just a few people.And Naruto actually liked his little brother very much, but the child probably also vaguely realized that his father did not like him to be close to his third-generation grandfather as much as he said.So if Jiraiya hadn't brought Konohamaru with him today, Naruto might have lost this friendship to those two bastards Anko and Gai, who never came to every gathering.What preparation tasks are difficult to explain?Even Minister AN knows that you have no mission at all. How could the Hokage not know that the two people who love fun the most are becoming more and more at odds with each other.

Kakashi sighed and secretly glanced at his teacher while washing the dishes.Ever since that morning more than three months ago, when he rushed to the Memorial Monument and saw the teacher lying on the ground motionless in the rain, he had been obsessive about checking to see if he was okay every once in a while.Otherwise, I would really feel uneasy.

But it's okay now. His teacher is sitting quietly by the window, drinking a glass of fresh juice slowly and watching with a smile.The afternoon sun shone on him, dappled, swaying and dazzling as it filtered through the leaves.Kakashi sighed again, covering up the physiological activity of yawning.Keep washing the dishes carefully.He felt that the first half of his 60 years in Konoha was extremely busy and sleep-deprived.I'm finally not very busy lately, but I don't have many opportunities to sleep peacefully every day.Just like yesterday, he was woken up again in the middle of the night.That Kabuto, well, the Hokage's new secret guard came to inform him that their Hokage had a fever again.Okay, fever again.A simple case of pneumonia can last for three months with repeated consequences.It's hard for them, who are subordinates, to make up lies every day to prevent non-essential work from being distributed to the Hokage's office. Damn it, can't they just take sick leave and recuperate at home? How can they really not write sick leave notes every day when they are not sick? It's hard to find excuses when you feel comfortable taking a vacation, okay? Besides, do you really have to write in the leave note that Jiraiya-sama went crazy today and that everyone must join him in the fun? Anyway, he's not busy right now. The Hokage decided to take a day off to hold a small family gathering, and by the way, he invited Konohamaru, who had not come to play with Naruto for a long time, which would help ease the relationship between the third and fourth generations.

Konoha, July 60, 7, embarrassing.

The long summer of Konoha has begun.
