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

Konoha 60

9:30 am

Fire Country Konoha, Konoha Hospital

Just a few minutes ago, Kabuto Yakushi, who had not slept much for three days, returned the Hokage, who had been clamoring to be discharged from the hospital after waking up, to his young master.Now, I can finally sleep peacefully.But as soon as he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes, the heavy sleepiness seemed to fly away with the squeak of the electric fan above his head.So, like all insomniacs, he could only think of something to pass the time before falling asleep.For example, the future life of Yakushi Kabuto was a pity. Kabuto did not get any prophecies about his future wife and children from the light spots in front of him. Instead, he only had a golden-haired Yondaime Hokage smiling slyly at him.

Kabuto sighed, closed his eyes and waved his hands, trying to drive that person out of his mind.But what is so easy to drive out is not the great national idol Golden Sparkle.Kabutata could only angrily shift his focus from that face to the patient's case book. Minato Namikaze had indeed been in poor health recently. Of course, for a qualified medical nin, it was not a big problem.But how to write this case report? I can’t write it. Do I really have to write it? Our Hokage starved himself for three days and ended up in the hospital for some unexplainable reasons.

What a child's play.

But Kabuto still felt that an unknown and powerful smell of respect filled his mind.Because in addition to being a little embarrassed, the Hokage who turned his hands into clouds and rain actually managed to turn all the recent negative factors into favorable factors by just starving himself for three days. It was really time to get sick.

Ha, I don’t know how to explain to my son what jinchūriki means. It goes without saying as soon as I close my eyes and lie down on the ground.More importantly, how can the tragedy of the Nine-Tails, which can confuse the public and cover up the past 12 years with tears, attract more attention than the health of the current Hokage who brought a happy life.More importantly, it is indeed a subtle maintenance of the balance of the military rankings of various countries that was broken by the sudden addition of the Nine-Tails. The economic alliance between the Fire Country and the Wind Country has just begun. What Konoha needs is internal stability and external stability. The country waits and sees.It was unclear whether it was a minor illness or an old injury that necessitated the urgent exposure of the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. It was enough to make people hesitate for a while.By the way, we created an internal problem to cooperate with external troubles to strengthen internal unity, and continued to create a power vacuum to give way to Kakashi's power in the Anbu. He also accidentally brought Master Jiraiya along with him since the Chunin Exam. After returning to Konoha, it basically never stopped.Don't make big mistakes, keep making small mistakes.Of course, the third-generation master who has resigned is willing to pamper this rare disciple who stays by his side, but it will be very difficult for the fourth-generation master to keep doing this.So by irritating Jiraiya-sama, Kabuto figured that even if Jiraiya-sama wasn't angry enough to punch the cunning Hokage, their cunning Hokage would still find something to do with "the teacher told me he was in a bad mood" Bar.Anyway, according to Jiraiya-sama's character and general behavior, once he realizes that his actions will actually hurt his beloved disciple, he will feel guilty. I'm sick, so why do I have time to play those boring games?At the same time, once Jiraiya makes a gesture of "listening more to his disciples", will Konoha or other forces in the Country of Fire be able to be more at ease? After all, it is very prestigious for Konoha ninjas. a person

In short, Kabuto was thinking wildly, and he felt that as a subordinate, guessing the meaning of the superior was a normal and necessary skill.Moreover, he had lived a good life just because of this.However, he is not sure now whether he can really guess what Namikaze Minato is thinking and do what is best for him.For example, that case report that I still haven’t figured out how to write.

According to Kabuto's understanding, it is actually best to write nothing.Regardless of whether it's true or not, everyone who knows knows what's going on, everyone who should know knows what's going on, and those who shouldn't know can just let them guess.Although it is easy to guess the conspiracy by guessing, will Namikaze Minato be afraid?

But for a doctor who plans to be loyal for the rest of his life, it is quite a headache for a patient to mess around like this all the time, especially when that person really overestimates his physical fitness.

Kabuto couldn't sleep at all now. He got up and prepared to continue studying the wording of the Hokage's physical report, "Here comes someone."

"Yes, Doctor Kabuto."

"Tell Master Naruto to come back. There is a discharge procedure that he forgot to sign."

So, Namikaze House, Minato Namikaze's bedroom.

Uzumaki Naruto, who was about to organize a family meeting, was called back to the hospital by the ANBU, leaving the three silent people in silence.

Jiraiya looked out the window at the clear sky with no clouds and the sun hanging in the sky, and judged that today should be a very hot day.So he always felt weird about the cool temperature in the room he was in now.This made him frown.Although his disciple has just been discharged from the hospital, this temperature and humidity will make him feel more comfortable, but is it really a good thing to deliberately destroy the human body's natural adjustment of the four seasons? But it is not easy for him to object now, because he Not the doctor, and after all, he had some responsibility for causing this situation.Even though he actually still can't figure it out.

He knew very well how powerful Namikaze Minato was.He also knows how strong he is.He was indeed very angry that day, but no matter how unreliable he was, he still knew that the person he beat was his own disciple.He was convinced that he was really just throwing an ordinary punch, and that he could avoid the vital point in the abdomen by slightly releasing his force backwards.Well, even if he suffered it without reacting, judging from the feeling of his hand at the time, it would only be a bruise at best.It will definitely hurt. If it doesn't hurt, it's not a lesson. Judging from his experience, even if it's an injury, it's just a skin injury caused by rubbing the medicine. How could it hurt the internal organs? It wouldn't be so serious that after a few days of stomach hemorrhage and coma and being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, right? After all, when little Naruto was punched by him during training, he just held his stomach and hurt for a while. Could it be that his disciple's physical condition is really fragile? Even worse than a child

But it's really time to take a good rest.Jiraiya secretly glanced at Minato Namikaze, who was leaning on the bed and slowly drinking hot juice. The thin white short-sleeved tshite could not cover his huge frame; take a closer look. His face, from his eyes to his lips, lacked blood, and there was no forehead protector to cover it. You could clearly see the fatigue tangled between his brows.

Jiraiya suddenly felt a little distressed.In his memory, the kid named Namikaze Minato should be a handsome Hokage who always had a warm smile, stood in the sun, had a strong body and perfect muscle lines, which was really not a good career.Jiraiya sighed secretly, but since he could no longer resign, a career-oriented man still needed a good woman to take good care of him.Yes, the Hokage still has the Hokage Guards, but the guards can't be used to warm the bed, right?

Kakashi, who was standing on the other side, kept his head lowered. He was still a little afraid to face the teacher.Moreover, he was even more scared, truly scared from the bottom of his heart.Although he had fully considered that his teacher would be uncooperative in various ways, for example, when he received the news that the Hokage-sama passed out within a few words of his son, he actually laughed heartlessly.He thought it was just a ploy by his teacher to divert Naruto's attention.But when the red light at the door of the emergency room stayed on for an hour, he became really panicked. Then another hour later, when his teacher was not declared out of danger, he admitted that he was worthless at that time. Cried.

Although later, under his coercion and inducement, Kabuto finally told the truth. The man who had absolutely no way to deal with him was actually not a big deal, but he was just making the trick more realistic.But Kakashi was even more panicked. What on earth had he done? He actually forced the golden flash that could face the life-and-death political struggle with a smile on that battlefield to the point of reckless self-abuse. Wasn't his original intention just to want to? Can it make life easier for teachers?

Kakashi finally couldn't help but glance up at his teacher. His teacher was holding the juice and lowering his head.Kakashi couldn't quite see the expression on the teacher's face.Now I don’t dare to try to guess what the teacher is thinking.All he wanted now was that Naruto would be able to say something reliable when he came back. If he had known that Naruto would have a family meeting as soon as the teacher was discharged from the hospital, he should have explained the matter clearly in advance. He should have made it clear in the first place, no matter what Is it a father or a son.

But some things have already been done.

Kakashi had already sensed Naruto's return, opened the door, and was walking upstairs.Kakashi took the time to glance at the teacher again. His teacher remained motionless and looked no different from before, but the slight cracks on the juice cup still betrayed his emotions.

Kakashi also felt that his hands were shaking a little, and Naruto had already walked upstairs.

Kakashi broke into a cold sweat, and Naruto finally opened the door to the room.

The room was really quiet. Jiraiya, who was just about to say hello to Naruto, suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Only then did he remember that they were actually waiting for Naruto, or in other words, regarding the jinchuriki, they needed to give the child a explain.

Naruto looked at the three silent relatives.Okay, grandpa, dad, and eldest brother. He sighed, walked to the corner, sat on the legendary white swing chair that his mother loved most, and swayed with his feet off the ground.

"Dad, are you done with the juice?"

Minato's father drank all the juice in the cup in one gulp, raised his head and smiled at his son with a split mouth.

"Then dad, let's start the meeting." Naruto winked at Kakashi. Kakashi belatedly took the cup from the teacher's hand and put it away, then stood like a flag-raising ceremony.

it is good.

Looking at Kakashi and his cooperation today, Naruto smiled.I saw him happily jumping off the swing, walking slowly, putting his hands behind his back and starting to speak, "Ahem. First. We need to clarify a concept."

The three adults were numb, although their first reaction was that the meeting style of the third generation had affected the next generation.

Naruto looked at the three adults with unpredictable expressions and continued to laugh, "I already know that I am Konoha's Jinchuuriki and Kyuubi's."

The three adults continued to remain motionless, thinking nothing this time.

"I don't understand," Naruto looked at the group of people with their heads lowered neatly, and raised his voice slightly, "I am a Jinchuuriki. What can I hide from others?"

The three adults all looked at Naruto who looked confused.

Naruto scratched his head, "I thought about it for several days, but I never figured out what harm the jinchuriki could do to me."

The three adults tilted their heads together.

Naruto tilted his head, watching the three people in front of him move in unison again, secretly thinking that they were indeed master and apprentice, "Although I am very angry at your concealment all this time, it is so cool that I am the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails. It still makes me happy.”

The three adults immediately lowered their heads in unison.

Naruto sighed, "I'm really not saying anything wrong. Think about it, the Nine-Tails is the legendary infinite chakra, which means that theoretically I can use almost unlimited amounts of chakra. Right. Kakashi, don't you want to Do you want unlimited chakra?"

Kakashi raised his head and stared blankly. If he really had infinite chakra,

"And I've long since discovered that my recovery ability is not that strong. A cut in my hand will be as if it never happened. I asked Gaara, and he said that this is definitely one of the Jinchūriki's superpowers. Cassie, as a ninja, don't you want a strong body and unparalleled recovery ability?"

The three men across from him understood what Naruto meant and finally felt embarrassed together.

"Kakashi, you haven't thought of such a simple question, right?"

Kakashi suddenly felt like he had kicked cotton. They seemed to be despised by Naruto. No, it should be Kakashi alone who was despised. Naruto would not despise his father. Jiraiya, the elder, must have He is polite, so there is no burden in his heart when he despises and questions him.Yes, it’s actually not difficult at all.I don’t know what his teacher was thinking. Anyway, at this moment, Kakashi felt that he was really stupid. He had prepared for so long, spared such a big circle, and struggled for 12 years. What was it for? He really couldn’t think of anything. It doesn't do any harm to Naruto at all.

Monsters are not monsters. Who dares to treat the golden shining son as a monster? The teacher used his own son to make a seal, and he didn’t use other people’s sons. What can he say? It’s cruel and immoral. His son didn’t say anything, even though the whole thing started. It was caused by Naruto's birth, but except for some high-level ninjas, no one knew about it. And those high-level ninjas knew that it was not the teacher's fault at all. Then Naruto was obviously a hero who sacrificed his life to save everyone. Why should we hide it? Why is the teacher so stubborn that he won’t tell you anything?

Well, although it may have a certain impact on Naruto's interpersonal relationships, being the son of the Hokage is already very affected, okay? And when playing games, others have to kill monsters step by step and upgrade, and you are the only one left to play. You are still so upright, how could no one be envious, jealous, or hateful of you?

All in all, the three men were still embarrassed

"I said, why do you have this expression?" Naruto couldn't laugh or cry, and finally laughed out loud, "But."

The three adults became serious again.

"Okay, don't be serious. Although I don't know why you are so entangled, I am sure that you are doing it all for me. However," Naruto jumped on the bed and grabbed his father's neck, "Dad, since it's you I made a seal, can you think of a way to remove the beard on my face? I said that no one else has it, but I have it on my face. I thought I inherited some blood stain like Neji and Sasuke. It turns out to be a fox beard. Look at you. My son is so handsome, growing such a few beards will ruin his image."

Minato was still a little slow to react. He subconsciously touched his son's face, nodded, and then shook his head.

Naruto became anxious and shook his father's arm, "What do you mean? Can it be done?"

"Theoretically it's not possible." Minato's silly father finally became a little more normal.

"No way, Dad, I want to grow a beard like Uncle Asuma from now on. If I can't grow it due to these few hairs, I'll look like a pretty boy."

Minato's father's eyes twitched and Asuma's beard twitched.He wanted to tell Naruto if he knew why his father didn't have a beard but still had to go to trouble to shave it every day. Because with blond hair and a big blond beard, he looked like a lion.

However, Jiraiya had automatically completed the brain replenishment and started laughing while holding his stomach.

"Why are you laughing? Be serious." Naruto turned back, his eyes were not as gentle as those he looked at his father, "Grandpa Jiraiya, this family meeting only solved one issue. We haven't started talking about your questions yet. Come on, Kakashi"

Kakashi nodded, Naruto's problem was solved, but his problem

Naruto continued to lie on his father, "Forget it, let's talk about it then, Dad. Don't hide anything from me in the future. I believe your son, it will be okay."

Minato's father looked at Naruto's sparkling eyes and rubbed his son's head. His throat became more choked up and he couldn't speak, so he could only nod.

"That's right, Dad, your son will definitely be good to you even if you get Alzheimer's disease when you get old."

Minato's father's hand on his son's head stiffened instantly. He didn't understand his son's words.

"Don't worry, dad. My son won't let you get lost stupidly with drool. I will always be with you and take good care of you."

Although Minato was even more moved after hearing Naruto's words, he still felt it was necessary to correct Naruto's strange thoughts. He couldn't make up his mind and was drooling all over the streets and couldn't find his home. "Naruto, Dad won’t be in such a situation when he is old.”

"Dad, it's true. Habitual hypoglycemia like yours can easily damage brain cells. Just now, Doudou secretly told me that your chance of suffering from Alzheimer's disease will be very, very, very, very high."

Minato's father was petrified. His attention had been completely diverted, and now there was nothing in his mind except "Alzheimer's disease" that was echoing repeatedly.

"Are you sleepy, Dad?" Naruto, who secretly made scissor hands in his mind, chuckled to himself, and helped his silly father lie down, "Close your eyes, your task now is to eat and sleep, and then sleep and eat. Kabuto said, in addition to going to the toilet and Take a shower and just lie in bed for a few days."

The petrified Minato closed his eyes obediently.

Naruto smiled and carefully covered himself with the sheets.Then he gave Kakashi and Jiraiya a serious look that said, "Come out, it's your turn."Went downstairs with hands behind our backs.

Kakashi and Jiraiya, who were also petrified by the word "Alzheimer's disease", lined up obediently and followed Naruto out.When Kakashi closed the door, he glanced at the corner of the teacher's mouth that was still twitching. His teacher said, "Cooperate well."

Kakashi sighed, he must cooperate well, even if he is beaten to death by Naruto this time, he must cooperate well.

The moment you start thinking independently, you grow up

On August 60, Konoha 8, the weather was fine, and Uzumaki Naruto wrote in his secret diary:

My dear dad, I really don’t want this to happen again, I’m really scared.Even when you fell on me that day, my son knew that you were pretending.After all, his son is also a well-trained ninja, and he can still tell the difference between a true faint and a well-prepared faint.But considering that you are indeed feeling unwell, as for laughing at you, I’d better wait until you are too old to walk.As for jinchūriki and whatnot, seeing how hard you are trying to hide it, I know the water is deep inside.Isn't it just that you don't want me to ask further?Since dad doesn't want to say anything, I won't ask him anything. How can curiosity be more important than dad who depends on each other for life?Anyway, according to your logic, Dad, I guess I will be able to understand it when I am older.Just like when I was a child, I would ask my mother where she was every day, and you would just sleep with me in your arms, sleepy and tired, without answering.As a result, a few years later, I understood that I had a mother, and my father loved her very much. Unfortunately, my mother had passed away. The beautiful red-haired woman in the family photo was my mother.

Also, dad, what I said is true. Don’t worry about Alzheimer’s disease. Even if you really become a stupid dad, your son will not dislike you.

Finally, Kabuto said that he would take leave tomorrow, and Kakashi said that he was going to the capital for a business trip. Grandpa Jiraiya was made to cry by Kakashi and I today, and he probably won't show up in the next few days.I couldn’t even bear to eat it in the cafeteria.It’s only because dad eats ramen all the time that he becomes malnourished.Then only I will cook tomorrow.So, my dear diary, please bless me. If dad can eat happily tomorrow, I will give you a new lock on your diary.
