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

Konoha 60

At 11 o'clock in the morning, after three days of fast and efficient cooperation between various departments, the Country of Fire and the Country of Wind finally passed the draft of amendments to continue to strengthen internal cooperation and supplement unified laws and regulations on the basis of the economic alliance.

Konoha, Hokage Tower, small conference room.

Uchiha Itachi, the person on duty at the Hokage's office who was temporarily seconded to the conference room to do general work, gave everyone who had gathered here a cup of hot tea in the dark for three days, yawned silently, and went home from get off work.

And there were yawns all over the office.But the atmosphere is as good as ever when they have the same goal, and only one of the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage is present, or like now, neither of the two highest-ranking leaders of Konoha is present.

"Our fourth-generation master hasn't shown up for several days. I just see the signature every day. I really don't know what he is thinking in his mind." Uchiha Fugaku, the only representative of the Presbyterian Council who participated in this negotiation meeting, played with the remote control in his hand. He just refused to give it to Chief of General Staff Kaichi Yamanaka who asked for it.

Yamanaka Hai sighed, ignored Fugaku, and turned around to continue packing the box connected to the big screen in the conference room.

"Hey, there's nothing else to do now anyway. We still have an hour to eat. It's not appropriate to eat or sleep now, and there are no outsiders here." Uchiha Fugaku expressed his displeasure. Under the warning gaze of his wife, Sansan put the remote control into the box full of strange instruments, "Let's chat."

"What's there to talk about? I haven't slept in three days. Aren't you sleepy?" Nara Shikaku finally got up from the table. He pretended that he didn't hear what Fugaku had so obviously meant and picked up the teacup in front of him. He took a sip of tea. The tea leaves were good, the water was boiled, and the temperature was just right. This made him feel jealous of Fugaku, "Blessed Fugaku, your son is good at his craftsmanship."

Fugaku felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to complain that Namikaze Minato had always used his eldest son as a waiter, but he didn't want to tell the fact that his son had never made him a cup of tea at home. He could only smile and point at Haiichi's hand. box, trying to change the subject, "By the way, this thing is quite convenient."

"Well, it's quite convenient." Shikaku took another sip of tea, "But I think we should have a serious talk with Minato. He always likes to schedule his time so fullly and it's not a good thing to be too efficient."

"I heard it." Fugaku chuckled, "You are complaining about Minato's new invention. But I think he saved the world again. You see, if it weren't for this, we would still have to follow him back and forth in the Land of Wind and Fire. The country is running on both sides. At that time, the negotiation was not three days. It would be fine if it didn’t delay you for three months without being able to sleep. But what the hell is this?"

"You're right if you don't know. You were in trouble at Konoha Hospital." Haiyi closed the box, dragged it back to his seat, "Minato also took a few days off, and then you changed to a new communicator."

"What do you mean?" Fugaku dug into his trouser pocket, took out a black intercom, and pointed at the green numeric keyboard on it.

"Then he continued to take leave last month." Haiyi continued to yawn.

"That's how this came about. As long as the other party also installs this small box and connects to the screen, the remote visual flying thunder god communication version will be like we have never done before this time. You can stay at home and just look at the screen to interact with the people from the Kingdom of Wind. The old fritters are quarreling." Hinata Hizu saw Haiyi yawning endlessly and began to answer, "I'm really looking forward to him taking leave this month, and then we'll see what happens again."

"That's a good idea." Hai patted Nizu on the shoulder, "I hope Minato's next invention will be a truly high-power computing system. Anyway, Flying Thunder God relies largely on calculations. Changing the formula will change It's easy to use the tax calculator. Comrade Logistics Minister, next time Minato asks you to do something in batches, remember to mention it to him by the way. If he doesn't do it, we won't approve the money for him."

"Haiichi, that Minato guy definitely has a small treasury." Fugaku winked at Haiyi who looked expectant.

After a while, Yamanaka Hai made eye contact with Nara Shikaku, and suddenly turned to Kakashi who was still sorting out materials and said, "Right, Kakashi, your teacher definitely has a small treasury."

"Yeah." Kakashi snorted as an answer and continued in his hands.

"Is there any?" Uchiha Fugaku looked at Kakashi who was obviously depressed even though his face was covered, but he couldn't help but want to tease this stubborn junior.

"Guess." Kakashi glanced sideways at the senior, filed the documents neatly, and took them one by one to the managers of various departments sitting there to sign.

"Okay, Kakashi." Nara Shikaku signed and returned it to him, "Let's talk directly about what we have to say. How long do your teachers plan to struggle with Naruto Kyuubi?"

"Don't worry about it, I've arranged everything." Kakashi sighed.

"Hey, you're not bad." Uchiha Fugaku extended his thumb, "You actually thought about how to end it this time. I admit that my son is not as good as you."

Kakashi ignored Fugaku and snatched the signed document from his hand.

"How did you arrange it?" Nara Shikaku was still worried.

"The teacher will tell Naruto this time." Kakashi was a little impatient.

"That's not okay Kakashi." Nara Shikaku frowned upon hearing this, "Your teacher was planning to tell Naruto when he was 3 years old, but then he kept hesitating about how to say it, and then decided to postpone it until he was 6 years old, and then go to school. Who can guarantee that if he is 6 years old and then pushes it to 6 years old, he will not directly push it to 12 years old or something like that?"

"This possibility is very high." Hinata Hizashi handed the document to Kakashi and said seriously, "I have a hunch that the Fourth Generation actually wants to fool him first this time."

Kakashi received the document and saw Hinata and Hinata, whose tacit understanding value suddenly became high again and began to consciously tell jokes to lighten the atmosphere. Knowing that he would not be able to get out without an explanation for this matter.He could only spread his hands and smile, "I really want to know how I can guarantee that there will be no problem this time."

Several middle-aged old men, plus a middle-aged old woman, all looked at Kakashi in an instant.

Kakashi was so shocked by the sight that he reluctantly leaned into the ear of the most active Uchiha Fugaku and uttered two words before disappearing without a trace while holding the document.

"What did he say?" A few people who didn't hear clearly started to ask.

"Guess." Uchiha Fugaku sighed. He was fooled by a junior who was more than one round younger than him.

"Don't make trouble." Chief of General Staff Hai Yi looked at Fugaku seriously.

"That's what Kakashi said."

"You are coaxing your child. Even though he is wearing a mask, you can still tell that he said more than two words to you."

"Just 2 words."

"real"

"Really, I swear on my son."

As a result, the atmosphere in the conference room became relaxed again. Since Kakashi still had the intention to joke, even if he was fooled again, his teacher should have nothing to worry about.But the fact is that they have not yet realized that things like ordinary impressions can sometimes hinder everyone's rational thinking.

Namikaze House, 11:15

Kakashi Kakashi stood outside the teacher's study, not daring to go in.He was far less calm than he had been when facing others.But since he has decided to participate in Konoha's chaotic factional struggle, he can learn to be moody and angry. He is very worried. Since yesterday, Akimichi Choza-senpai, who stopped him and insisted on talking to him, gave Yangyang a hard blow. Proudly, he learned a lesson by using that big-faced fist that always frightened his enemies.Kakashi rubbed his face unconsciously. He was very lucky that he had the habit of wearing a mask all year round, otherwise he would not be able to get out of the house with most of his face blue.But maybe he can still overcome the psychological barrier about face and stick to work

Thinking of work, Kakashi sighed again, raised his hand, and prepared to knock on the door again, but quickly put it down again.He had lost confidence in his plan, even though the plan had already reached the penultimate step and Gaara, the Jinchuuriki, showed up to speak out.Although Naruto seemed to have no brains, Cassis could never forget how his three disciples kept testing and boldly exploring during the mission to the Land of Waves, and guessed all the General Staff's plans bit by bit. That's right. In short, Naruto was just too lazy to use his brain.Just like yesterday, Gaara gave a little hint, and the child had a premonition.Kakashi even shuddered, thinking that maybe Naruto already knew the answer, but just needed to confirm it.Yes, the teacher is right, even if the teacher doesn't say anything, Naruto will know what he should know by then.

But what if in the end, like the unlucky Gaara, he can't control his power and causes irreparable losses? What if Naruto kills his own people like Gaara when he goes on a mission? Is he the one who shouldn't be killed? Is it the Hokage who will kill Aiko, or is it the traitorous shadow that has never been seen before or since the birth of Konoha?

Although the teacher was trying his best to hide it, the fact was that as Naruto's own consciousness and power grew, the seal that separated Kyuubi and Naruto was loosening.It became increasingly difficult for the teacher to repair the seal.Maybe it won't take long

Kakashi took another deep breath and prepared to knock on the door again.

The document in his hand was the last thing that the Hokage needed to sign for this new contract. Once he signed it, the agreement with Sunagakure came into effect. Then Golden Flash would no longer be able to lock himself in the study with various excuses to be busy working.After all, there are still a lot of places where the Fourth Hokage needs to show up.So long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain.

But Kakashi's hands are still shaking. Damn it if Akimichi Choza didn't punch him to wake him up yesterday, why didn't he realize it at the beginning? Can his teacher really bear it? Golden flash, the fourth generation Be it Naruto, he has stood behind Namikaze Minato for 20 years, and he knows better than others that this person can also be tired, injured, sick, sad, angry, and even desperate.

Finally, Kakashi raised his hand again. He knew that it was impossible for his teacher not to know that he was outside the door. Now, it was impossible not to know what his disciple wanted to do.

In fact, Namikaze Minato did know that Kakashi was outside the door, and he also knew what Kakashi was here to do.But he really didn't want to see Kakashi right now.Yes, his disciples finally became smarter and knew how to use tricks, and they used very effective methods. Sometimes simple and crude methods are indeed much better than careful planning.But it also means that there are loopholes everywhere.

"How naive." The unlucky Hokage, who had been busy patching up his disciples these past few days, sighed secretly.He once again confirmed that Kakashi was really the kind of person who couldn't use his brain to deal with complex problems. The success of his plan was not just about failing to achieve the set goal, right?Just like the Jinchūriki, it is really necessary to put it on the table and say that the Kazekage must be unclean, but how can he, the Hokage, be so clean, isn't it because he made his own son into a weapon?And what does the fact that the current Kyuubi is the Hokage's only son mean to ordinary ninjas or ordinary people who have lost their husbands, wives, parents, and children because of the uncontrollable jinchuriki.They obviously managed to survive the battlefield, and they obviously agreed to be happy together until they turn gray-haired.

Yes.No one is a fool. He and the third generation had a rare tacit understanding to downplay this incident as much as possible, but it was still revealed. The fact that it was revealed in such a way made Namikaze Minato have to think more about what Kakashi had done. It was an accident, maybe there might be something weirder mixed in.After all, many things back then couldn't be said, and they couldn't withstand scrutiny at all. If all those secrets were really revealed, haha, he wouldn't be the only one waiting to commit suicide to apologize.

Namikaze Minato smiled bitterly. Whenever he thought about 12 years ago, he felt that living was too tiring, and his body felt as heavy as being pressed under the Hokage Rock. For 100 years, he thought more than once, if he could at that time Wouldn't it be better for everyone if Qinai died together?But he had to admit that he was really greedy and he couldn't bear to part with his newly born son.

In short, it was all his fault. As Hokage, husband, and father, he was willing to bear all the blame, but not now.

"grown ups."

"Um"

Kabuto Yakushi looked at Naruto, who had been sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and motionless, and had to interrupt him.As a qualified secret guard and medical ninja, he found that since Kakashi stood outside the door, the person he was guarding was not doing well.Kabuto frowned, leaned over slightly, and squatted down. The Hokage's face was paler than an hour ago. His breathing was rapid and short. He didn't need any instruments. He could tell just by listening that this man's heart was beating very fast, and his pulse was getting worse and worse. weak.

"Sir, would you like something to eat?"

"Go away, I don't want to eat."

Kabuto Yakushi listened to the Hokage's feeble words, and his lungs almost exploded with anger.This wayward Hokage started refusing to eat three days ago. Although he had nutritional injections, injections cannot satisfy his hunger. Was he trying to commit suicide? He didn't do it like this. He died of hypoglycemia and hypotension. The Hokage who starved himself to death?

"Listen, your stomach is protesting solemnly." Since the death of Danzo and Orochimaru, Kabuto has really made up his mind to please the Hokage and climb into a good position to wait for retirement.But if he hadn't retired yet, this willful guy would have died, and as a dedicated medical nin, wouldn't his life have been ruined again? "You need to eat."

"Stomach pain." Naruto continued to vent his anger.

"Anyone who hasn't eaten for three days will still feel pain." Kabuto gritted his teeth and swallowed the complaints he had already spoken vaguely. In other words, "I'll go get you some porridge. Just drink some porridge and it will be better. Xiaomi Is the porridge sweet, salty or sour?”

"Sleepy." The Hokage rubbed his eyes, "You'll get sleepier when you're full, so you'd better wait until you're done."

Kabuto's face turned pale when he heard the Hokage's answer, but when he looked at the person in front of him with his eyes closed and seemed to be about to slide off the sofa in the next second, he could only quickly take out the prepared nutritional injection and inject it into the Hokage. inserted into his veins, "Sir, why don't you go to the hospital? It would be better to check if the injury from Jiraiya-sama's punch last time has worsened."

"Ha~ Don't you feel that your current behavior is not like yourself?" The spirit of the Hokage who absorbed the medicine seemed to be much better immediately. He opened his eyes and smiled at his subordinates, "It seems that you have taken it upon yourself to deal with an ANBU. It’s really attractive.”

"I take pride in following orders in all my actions." Kabuto was about to cry. He regretted it so much now. He shouldn't have taken the initiative to ask to be planted with the "Loyalty Oath Seal with Life as a Bet" just to reassure the Hokage.Otherwise, he would have knocked this man unconscious long ago.Now he just hopes that Kakashi outside the door will finish struggling quickly, come in, and take his teacher to the cafeteria or the hospital.

at last,

"Dangdangdang."

Kabuto breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stood up to open the door.But as soon as his hand touched the handle, he almost smashed the door down.Damn it, he was actually frightened by the "Come" from the Hokage behind him.However, he reacted quite quickly and became invisible in an instant. His intuition told him that it would be better for him to avoid it a little.

Kakashi, who came into the room, ignored Kabuto's ostrich behavior. He handed the documents to the Hokage in a business-like manner, and then waited for the Hokage who read carefully to sign and seal the signature of each document.

"That's it, right." The Hokage put away the stamp and handed the folder back to Kakashi.

"Ah."

"Phew." The Hokage let out a long breath. He raised his eyes and looked at Kakashi, "But one thing has been done."

"Yeah." Kakashi made up his mind and looked back at the teacher without fear, but in the end, his eyes just fell on the teacher's chest.

"Now. Kakashi, since things are almost done, you shouldn't be too busy in the next few days. You remember that you promised Naruto to go to a barbecue and camping some time ago. By the way, Kai and Anko are both back from their missions, right? Ask them to come together and you can make some arrangements to get together. Find a clear night and be sure to see the stars." The Hokage kept staring at Kakashi's eyes.

"Yeah." Kakashi seemed to have become mute. He knew that he was here to urge the teacher, but he really found that he could not speak.

However, the Hokage has already taken the initiative to speak, "Then I will tell Naruto the good news. Also, don't worry, since the matter has come to this, I will also tell you that matter."

"Yeah." Kakashi froze on his feet and watched the Hokage, who seemed to be opening the door and closing the door at an easy pace and leaving, couldn't help but close his eyes.

But Yakushi Kabuto, who had witnessed everything, followed him closely, because his Hokage did glare at him hard before leaving, which was the code word of the Hokage Guards, "Come here and cooperate well."Kabuto didn't understand what his boss wanted him to do.But after a few minutes he realized that his Hokage was going to be a cheat.

Scamming is a very profound skill. Once mastered, you can solve all the problems you don't want to solve.

Konoha, August 8, 8 noon

Today's lunch was almost uneaten in Konoha, because shocking news came from Konoha Hospital. Many people witnessed their Yondaime Hokage being carried directly into the emergency room by a secret guard.
