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

Konoha 59 years

Fire Country Konoha

The sun sets and the light snow begins to stop

Time is still parked on December 12th

It was already 6:45 in the evening when Uzumaki Naruto opened the door of his house.He ran all the way back.This new genin had just completed his first official mission in his life. He was a little tired, a little excited, and a little bit uncontrollably looking forward to it.Because in the darkening sky, he could see his home from a distance. The lights at home were on today.

Naruto changed his shoes haphazardly. The living room was bright, but his father was not there; the kitchen was bright, but his father was not there; the dining room was also bright, but still no one was seen, but luckily there was dinner for two people prominently displayed on the table. .It was covered with a large Konoha-style white porcelain bowl, and when it was all opened, the tempura and curry he ordered were on the plate.

Naruto observed carefully, the tempura and curry were shining golden and warm, and from the faint breath, he could smell the smell of a cafeteria that was definitely not unpleasant.

Naruto finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. He restrained his grumbling stomach and drooling tongue, and strode up the stairs to the second floor even more nervously. The door to his father's room was closed, but his Uzumaki Naruto's room was It's bright.

The door was ajar, and through the crack in the door, I could see my father half leaning on the head of the bed, his neck crooked and his eyes lowered, which was a little cute.

Naruto approached quietly, and then heard the reassuring gentle breathing, and his heartbeat suddenly settled down with that steady rhythm.Reaching out again, just as he was about to wake up his father and go down to eat with him, he realized that his father had already been covered with a blanket.The blanket was well-fitted and seemed to have been carefully arranged, and his father was indeed fast asleep.

Naruto frowned and hesitated for a moment, then slowly retracted his hand, turned off the light, closed the door gently, and went downstairs with a sigh or disappointment.

"It seems that those shameless black guys in our family still have some use."

Then, continue to eat alone in a restaurant.The rice in the uncovered bowl had quickly cooled under the touch of winter and was a bit hard. The curry was not spicy enough and the tempura was so salty that it felt like a salt shaker had been knocked over.But Naruto still ate with gusto, eating one portion after another, filling the table cleanly without leaving any for his father.Naruto didn't think his father should eat these, well, they were cold.

As for what to do when Dad wakes up and is hungry, he said that the Hokage Guards are useless, but it doesn't mean that the Hokage is so hungry that he is not that useless.

Naruto curled his lips and threw the dirty dishes into the pool to soak. Just as he was about to turn around and go upstairs to accompany his father, he suddenly slapped his forehead and remembered that today he had to wash the dishes by himself. The father of the Namikaze family was at home and the ANBU was on duty. not at home.And since the ANBU wasn't at home, there was no one to secretly help him wash the dishes.

Ah, okay, just brush it.

Anyway, he was jumping up and down in the Hokage Building today all day long, holding a rag in one hand and a broom in the other. Yes, he was cleaning, the end of the year cleaning, the first of the new trainee genin, which was a really frustrating task.

However, as new genin, everyone has to do the same small things, and Uzumaki Naruto will not be unable to do it.But, why is it that when they are working hard, there is an unlucky jounin instructor standing by and reading a book? It is always the same group of assigned genin teams. Why are the instructors of other classes helping the students? , that guy, actually reads the book so calmly, Kakashi, you are ruthless, now 12 years old, Uzumaki Naruto, a cannon fodder-level genin who has just entered the strict hierarchical system, makes the plate squeak.

It’s really a fun after-dinner pastime, but unfortunately not all after-dinner time is spent digesting food.

The small living room of the Uchiha otaku patriarch's house

The other father and son face to face

"How is it? How does it feel to do the mission for the first time today?" Uchiha Fugaku asked his youngest son Uchiha Sasuke seriously.

"It's okay, Father." Sasuke knelt down and saluted solemnly.

"What do you mean it's okay?" Fugaku frowned. Who did his son learn such nonsense from? "If it's good, it's good. If it's not good, it's bad. Being vacillating in doing things will lead to disaster. Being a person without a firm stand will lead to death. .”

"" Sasuke blinked, was silent for a second, and immediately looked to his elder brother outside the door for help.

He just got off work and purposely passed by the door of the living room. The captain of the fresh Hokage guard also opened the door tacitly and decisively sat side by side with his brother, "Father, my son wants to say good evening to you."

Uchiha Fugaku was actually very satisfied with the brotherhood between his two sons.But he still felt a little unhappy when he saw his eldest son protecting his younger son, especially when it came to education. "Good evening to you, Itachi, what can I do?"

"Don't forget, Sasuke's leading jounin is Hatake Kakashi-senpai, and his teammate is Master Uzumaki Naruto." After all, Itachi has been with his father for a few more years than his younger brother, and he knows how to transfer his father's influence. attention.

Sure enough, Fugaku had forgotten to teach Sasuke a lesson, but instead turned to think about such things as whether the eldest son was saying that it was not Sasuke's fault, only that the two sons of the Minato family were less reliable than the other, or that it was not good to go his own way in order to unite his teammates and mentors. Or now that you have chosen your instructor and teammates, you should be mentally prepared to be assimilated.

"Is my father slandering you?"

Hey, the last sentence is just the truth. This sentence Itachi rarely speaks so frivolously.Fugaku raised his eyes and looked at Itachi who interrupted his meditation. He felt that his eldest son suddenly became a little different today.So Fugaku was silent for a moment and faced his youngest son, "Sasuke, remember, obeying orders is the virtue of a ninja. You must understand the meaning of this sentence. Okay, you can retreat today."

Sasuke lowered his head slightly and looked at his elder brother. After receiving his no problem look, he quickly left the scene.

Fugaku sighed silently at Sasuke's fleeing back, and then looked at his eldest son who was black from head to toe. "Itachi, how are you feeling today."

Itachi looked at his father with a serious face, and for some reason, something suddenly popped up in his mind. Last night, when he was standing outside Xiao Fengxue's house on duty at Hinata House, all the sounds in the house accidentally poured into his ears, cough, "Son." I think it’s okay.”

Fugaku frowned even more tightly now. Hey, he didn't learn anything from the Hokage. He thought that he must correct his eldest son's irresponsible answer, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he changed the topic. "Didn't you change your shift at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night? Why are you back now?"

"Kakashi-senpai said that if you disturb someone's father-son reunion, you will be resented." Itachi seemed serious.

"Okay." Fugaku sighed again. He felt that his eldest son, who looked relaxed, might not realize that he was tricked by Kakashi.The captain of the Hokage Guard actually left the Hokage during his duty time. It was really true, but Fugaku just moved his face to make himself less stiff, "Well, the new captain of the Hokage Guard, now come and talk to me, the security minister of Konoha, about the Hokage." Just a routine safety question."

Itachi straightened his back and said, "Report to the Minister of Security, "The security system of the Hokage Guards is intact. "

"detail."

"The Yondaime-sama finished cooking and couldn't wait for Naruto to come back and eat together, so he fell asleep. However, it seemed that Naruto was quite happy. Now the father and son are hugging each other and sleeping. I waited for Naruto to fall asleep too. Coming back."

&n

bsp;Fugaku sighed again, "Itachi."

"Yes, my father."

"No, it's nothing serious. You should relax." Fugaku tilted his body and changed his position to cross-legged. "Do it well. Dad has confidence in you. Also, the ANBU in the guard are all veterans. If you don't understand anything, you can tell me. Ask your seniors.”

"Yes, Father." Itachi was also confident in himself.

"Ah."

""

""

"If nothing happens, my son will resign."

"Yeah." Fugaku actually wanted to say a few more words to Itachi, but after thinking about it, there seemed to be nothing left to say except asking nonsense questions.Perhaps, it was just an opportunity, but he looked very much like his eldest son when he was a teenager. He opened his mouth, extended his head, and retracted his head. Uchiha was fearless, "By the way, Itachi, yesterday."

"Oh, yesterday" Itachi said in a long voice, twitching the corners of his mouth, just like the ANBU cat mask that had been with him for four years. He felt that he would never forget his father's tangled expression at this moment and the night at Hinata's house in his entire life. The hut with the kotatsu.

Fugaku could only sigh again, stretched his arms in resignation, and put his hand on his son's head.The person he is most proud of in his life has grown taller than him from just a little bit.Fugaku felt his son's silent resistance and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just rubbed it hard.

This was probably how Namikaze Minato dealt with the awkward Kakashi in the past.But what's so good about Kakashi's prickly white hair?Look at Itachi, how smooth he is, worthy of being his son, his hair is longer than others.Fugaku was thinking in a fugue, and couldn't help but feel something strange in his heart.He always felt that such a situation was not suitable for their father and son at all.But he also felt that this was not unfamiliar, and even very familiar.But he really couldn't remember and couldn't be sure whether his father had ever ruffled his hair with such helplessness a long time ago.Ha, but that doesn’t matter long ago.Now he can understand that under his father's harsh and cruel training, he survived intact until now. Isn't this enough?

"How can it not be enough?"

Hokage Tower Intelligence Department

子夜

The second hand makes a faint sound, one after another, which makes people feel that time passes really slowly.

Konoha Intelligence Minister Nara Shikaku, who had just returned to work and had to work overtime, was walking around in the office. He looked at his watch and counted the seconds. Damn it, the time was still the 24th.He felt that the scar on his head really affected his mood as the doctor said.In other words, he didn't have the energy to do this kind of work like peeling off cocoons every day for long.

He was very tired and wanted to sleep. It would be best if he could hold his wife and sleep until dawn, and then get up together every day to eat and watch the clouds and birds.But how many days in his life has he been like this, unable to sleep, just to wait for a piece of information that may have no meaning at all?

He thought, and involuntarily picked up the new information on the table and looked through it. 1, 2, 3, 4, one less.He waited all day, but this was still missing.He had a premonition that this routine "safety letter" might never be received, and the poor ninja who was sent on a spy mission would never exist from then on, even if the child was never able to survive in this evil world. What traces have been left in the world?

"minister."

"Come in." Nara Shikaku tried his best to calm down, "Say."

"The rest of the information has arrived."

""

"nothing."

"" Nara Shikaku nodded and waved his subordinates to leave, then put himself on the chair, took a sip of hot water, and took a deep breath.After a full minute, he turned on the intercom channel at hand and said, "Fugaku, everything is safe again today."

"Isn't it already expected?" Fugaku's faint voice came from the receiver, "The words have been signed, the credentials have been changed, and the dignitaries in the Kingdom of Wind and the capital are not fools. Is it possible to regret it now? Who has the courage to start a war with Konoha?"

"Who knew that there would be that blind hero who would jump out of nowhere and interfere." Shikaku calmed down under the influence of Fugaku's tone, "If you are really not nervous, why do you have to ask me to report that you are safe?" sleep."

"I'm mainly waiting to hear my son's work report." Fugaku sneered.

"You are such a bad person." Shikaku sighed, and then changed the subject, "Minato, why don't you go talk to him?"

"Are you sure?" Fugaku tapped the receiver, "He is sleeping soundly holding Naruto."

"He has a really generous heart."

"As long as his son is fine, he doesn't care whether the sky falls or not."

"Well, there's no point in you complaining. He's done enough. We really can't ask for more."

"But he always does whatever he wants and does it regardless."

"Yes, I feel the same way, but you have the ability to tell him in front of him."

", bang."

Fugaku cut off the line roughly.

Shikaku also hung up later.He was thinking about the documents on the table that he had not yet finished processing, but he reached out and pulled out the military blanket and wrapped it neatly around himself.He felt that he could just relax for a while to recuperate before working.So he closed his eyes and fell asleep, checking his watch before going to bed.The time finally reached the 25th, another yesterday passed, but there are still 5 days until next year.

at this time

Namikaze House, Naruto's room

Namikaze Minato was not having a good dream as everyone thought.He had woken up and was a little hungry, but he didn't move casually because his son was holding his arm tightly and snoozing gently.Minato smiled and motioned with his eyes to the hidden guard standing silently in the corner to come to him.

The secret guard spoke, but there was no sound.

Minato read the lips and said everything was fine.

He nodded, indicating to his subordinates that they could go ahead and do what they were supposed to do.But this guy had no intention of obeying orders.He stepped forward without hesitation and gently helped his immediate boss take off his forehead protector.Arrange it carefully and put it on the bedside.Then he took the ice towel handed to him by another ANBU and applied it to his boss's forehead more carefully.He waved the thermometer again, pointed to the pills in his hand, and signaled another secret guard to take the cup, pour water, and clip a piece of golden hair that had just been stuck to his hand into a small notebook close to his body.

And Namikaze Minato could only smile bitterly as he pondered in his daze, whether it was his guards that brought Kakashi to what he is now, or Kakashi brought disaster to the guards.

Although obeying orders is the virtue of a ninja, you must also understand the meaning of this sentence.
