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

Konoha, August 60, 8, sunny

The day after the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato was discharged from the hospital

7:[-] in the morning

Naruto Uzumaki carried a steaming breakfast upstairs with a serious look on his face and asked his father to get up and eat.

The two people in the restaurant downstairs were also preparing to have breakfast with serious faces.It's understandable that Naruto looked serious. He had been preparing for so long just hoping to cook a meal for his father.But other people can actually understand it.You have to be mentally prepared to eat food cooked by someone who is not very good at cooking.

especially

Gaara didn't really care about Naruto's cooking skills.After eating half-cooked grilled meat cooked by himself for several months, and eating half-cooked grilled fish cooked by Naruto for many days, although he was still more interested in Konoha Cafeteria or Ichiraku Ramen, he still had the necessary mental presets. .

And Jiraiya opposite him didn't care even more. He had experienced drinking muddy water and eating raw meat during the war years, not to mention that the person cooking was his "grandson", yes, grandson, son's son.Of course, it was impossible for Mr. Jiraiya to ask Mr. Namikaze Minato if he considered him his father.But the relationship between master and disciple can be regarded as a father-son relationship.Especially, when Jiraiya received the news and rushed to the hospital, he saw Kakashi in the corridor holding his head and spinning around in circles as if he was worried about his biological father.And, even though the hospital had made it clear that the reason Minato was unconscious was just the effect of the medicine, Minato Namikaze was really a happy man when he didn't move a step to stay with Naruto, who was guarding his father.Jiraiya is not jealous, he is not jealous.However, the 50-year-old old ninja has some regrets. Even a free and romantic prodigal can still find a woman to have a child while he is young.

Anyway, Jiraiya wanted to cry even more as he thought about it.

But Gaara almost laughed, because the expression of the "white-haired old man" across from him was like the sand dunes of their Land of Winds. He never looked the same as Naruto, no matter how he changed. An inattentive old man.Like to eat or not

So Gaara took the chopsticks and picked faster. He wanted to pick all the fried poached eggs that looked edible and put them on his plate.Since Naruto accidentally made so much, of course he had to eat it all.I didn't see "Shameful Waste" clearly written in such big letters in the Konoha cafeteria hall.But this has nothing to do with him. He is Shura who only loves himself. As long as he is happy, it doesn't matter who he dies. Whether the old guy opposite him is hungry or not has nothing to do with him.

So when Jiraiya reacted, the pile of fried eggs on the plate was only mushy and very mushy.

Jiraiya looked angrily at the child opposite who was already sipping the noodle soup, "Do you think this is appropriate, kid? Didn't your family teach you to respect your elders?"

"No." Gaara replied decisively in his heart. He had already finished drinking the noodle soup, and then found a cucumber and started chewing it without even looking at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya clenched his fists, but after careful consideration, he silently put away his "personal weapons", picked up the remaining fried eggs, pulled out two pieces of bread from the toaster, and bit into them.Then, he silently took out the ketchup and poured it on, finishing his breakfast in three mouthfuls.He would never admit that he was embarrassed to argue with the child, but his Hokage apprentice needed a quiet environment to recuperate.After all, Minato really suffered a lot this time.

Then Jiraiya became serious again.

Seeing that Jiraiya's expression became serious again, Gaara, who continued to chew the cucumber, also kept his expression serious.He didn't like the tall and powerful stranger opposite him very much, especially since this guy always appeared at mealtimes and always looked at him with serious and defensive eyes. However, Naruto clearly said that he would not apologize, except Naruto, he and his new guardian, the Fourth Hokage, were the only ones at home today. If Naruto hadn't failed too many times to make omelettes in the morning, the uninvited people wouldn't even be able to eat the failed works.

while upstairs

Uzumaki Naruto was teaching his father's secret guard on duty.Because when he first came in, his father did not lie on the bed waiting for him to deliver breakfast as agreed. Instead, he sat on the sofa to read the briefing and sign documents.

Of course it’s time to have breakfast.

It's just pitiful that the secret guard was holding the briefing and documents, his head lowered and being lectured by a little genin.Even if this genin is the young master of the Hokage family and the most important Jinchuuriki in Konoha, you can't say this to a jounin, right? Hokage-sama, don't you plan to take care of it? But this secret guard can only look at Masai with the most sorrowful eyes. The Fourth Hokage was leaning on the bed and eating breakfast with bubbles of happiness. His Hokage-sama ignored him. He was eating his breakfast of poached egg white vegetables and boiled noodles bit by bit at an unprecedented slow speed. Freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices with a lot of sugar.

Apparently Namikaze Minato himself felt a little weird now.He wasn't sure whether it was because he had never eaten in bed like a sick patient, or because this was the first time in his life that he had eaten food that his son had cooked from start to finish. The breakfast was ordinary, and it didn't even taste like food. After eating it, Minato Namikaze felt like every pore in his body was trembling. He felt more relaxed than ever before.His nose was a little sore. If it weren't for the secret guard, he might have hugged his son and cried loudly.And he suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had known that he could eat his son's loving breakfast so quickly, he should have followed the doctor's instructions and stayed in the hospital for a few more days to eat sick meals and recover.After all, it was the first time to eat food cooked by my son, even when my sense of taste was so insensitive.

"Okay, I'll give you a day off today. I'll take care of my father." Naruto finally finished talking and let go of the ANBU on duty during the day shift who had just changed his shift with the night shift captain.

Namikaze Minato couldn't help but smile when he heard his son's domineering words.Although this is not in line with the rules of superiors and subordinates, Naruto is his son and an important Jinchuuriki, so it is no big deal to have some privileges.

"dad."

"Yes, Naruto." Minato's father put down his chopsticks and reported to his son.

"Keep eating daddy." Naruto moved a stool and sat next to his daddy.

Seeing his son stretching his neck, his big eyes flickering, half of his face was filled with confusion of "Is it delicious?" and half of his face was filled with excitement of "Dad, Dad, I made it, come and praise your son." Minato couldn't bear it. I couldn't help but laugh at how many good things he had done in his previous life to meet such a lovely son in this life.

Qinai wants to tell our son that no matter what you cook, your parents think it tastes good. What should I say? Will Naruto be embarrassed and stop cooking it from now on?And if saying this will make our son think that we despise his cooking skills, how about we simply praise him? But Qinai, this is what a mother should do, and he, as a father, will really feel embarrassed.Ah ah ah, what should I do? Kinabao Feng Shuimen has already eaten that fat white poached egg with golden edges, and is eating every noodle carefully. He is going to drink every drop of every dish and even the noodle soup. None are left.

Naruto, who saw that his father had finished the bowl of noodles and there was no noodle soup left, was extremely happy.He thought, sure enough his father would like to make noodles. Although Ichiraku tastes good, too many seasonings are actually not good for the body.Although he still felt that his father should eat meat happily like the Akimichi family in order to gain weight, Kabuto said that he should listen to the doctor if he wants to eat lighter these days.

Naruto put away the empty bowl and watched his father holding the juice cup and looking at it but not drinking. "Don't worry, Dad, I've tasted it. You can tell by the color that it's not the canteen's top vegetable juice. I squeezed it myself."

Minato listened to his son's urging and had no choice but to start drinking the juice after the meal immediately. Although he still wanted to look at it a few more times, he couldn't bear to just drink it into his stomach. It's better for his son. If he wasn't his own son, who would care about your taste? As long as the nutrients are tested. If it meets the standard, who cares whether it tastes good or not.

While Minato was drinking juice, Naruto couldn't help but ask, "Dad, how are you feeling today? Are you still dizzy?"

Minato's father raised his eyes and rubbed Naruto's head with one hand. He liked this more and more now, "Dad, it looks like something is wrong. You have also seen the inspection report. The person below is just too nervous." "

Naruto looked at his shining father seriously. Indeed, his father recovered very quickly, but it was still very worrying. "Rest when I tell you to rest. I mean you need to be rescued for 3 hours and then sleep." For more than two days, the person who has made the whole Konoha fearful is not you."

"It shouldn't have been me in the first place. Does it have to be so troublesome to deal with stomach bleeding? They deliberately gave me sleeping pills and I haven't even settled the matter with them yet." Minato drank up the juice and got out of bed angrily.But he didn't succeed.

Naruto held down Jean in one fell swoop, "Dad."

"I'm going to rinse my mouth." The silly dad sneered.

"You just brushed your teeth before eating." The good boy pouted.

"Naruto." The silly father also imitated his son's pout, "Don't you never rinse your mouth after meals?"

"No way~" This time it was his son who sneered, "Ah ah ah, just lie down and wait."

Minato waited in confusion, and then he felt the corner of his mouth twitching uncontrollably. What on earth did Kabuto and Naruto tell him? Although he was touched by his son's serious care, why did he feel that he was already in his seventies? He felt like he was about to die. He just had to be rescued once because of hypoglycemia and stomach bleeding. God knows how many ninjas Konoha Hospital receives every year who drank until they had stomach bleeding and were overtrained for hypoglycemia.

But even though Naruto saw the corners of his father's twitching mouth, he still smiled and handed over the cup in his hand, and then took out a basin like a magic trick.

Minato's father understood what his son meant, so he stiffly picked up the cup and rinsed his mouth, stiffly spit the water into the basin, and finally stiffly took the hot towel from his son, stiffly wiped his face randomly, and then stiffly was wiped by his son. Press yourself onto the bed, cover yourself with a quilt, and lie down.

"Dad, you are more important than you think."

Looking at his son's serious face, Minato really wanted to tell his son that it was really ugly for a child to pretend to be an adult, and what the hell was it like to feel like he was about to die?

"Dad, go to sleep. Although the hospital just sent someone to examine you and determined that your condition is much better than everyone thought, it is still certain that you need to rest."

"But Naruto, dad is completely fine. And the office does have a backlog of work."

"A person who was being rescued four days ago has no right to say such a thing." Naruto frowned, "I closed my eyes and squinted even though I couldn't sleep. In short, in the past few days, apart from going to the toilet to take a shower, I have been doing all I can. "Stay in bed"

"It's not that exaggerated." Minato couldn't stand Naruto's eyes, so he was defeated and closed his eyes obediently.

Naruto looked at his father who was still obedient even though he was not convinced. He nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the plate and went downstairs. He had just received a D-level mission to teach Sunagakure Proton. That's what they said, right? Gaara lives in Konoha.Okay, life, let’s start with washing the dishes. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have bowls to eat tomorrow. Just buy a few more. Anyway, the old dishes and chopsticks left by my mother have long been put away by my father, but the ping ping ping pong keeps falling. Will it disturb dad's sleep?

Hey

Hearing the sound of the door closing and feeling that Naruto had gone downstairs, Minato finally let out a breath and raised his fingers at the corner of the wall.

"come out."

"Sir, Master Naruto may come back at any time." A voice came from the corner.

"Yes, yes, so it's better for me to keep sleeping with my eyes closed." Minato Namikaze immediately continued to close his eyes. His family, Naruto, has been a bit aggressive recently, and his father doesn't want to be scolded.

"Yes, my lord."

"Tell me what's going on outside."

"Uchiha Fugaku and Nara Shikaku made a bet about whether you would delay telling Master Naruto the truth about him being a Jinchuuriki this time because they both lost miserably."

"Why don't you just break up your sentence? When did Gen's intelligence officers become so boring? Let's talk about business."

"My lord, I thought you would be interested in this."

"Business." Minato sighed.

"Everyone's reaction to Master Naruto being the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails was enthusiastic."

"Good enthusiasm or bad enthusiasm."

"I don't know, sir. We didn't give bad thoughts a chance to spread in Konoha, so I don't know, sir."

"Why don't you just say that you have successfully completed the task and public opinion has been guided in Naruto's favor."

"Yes, sir, we have completed the mission. Except for a few individuals, most people think that Master Naruto is the hero of sealing the Nine-Tails."

"That's good. You continue to control public opinion and don't let people overturn the situation in the end."

"Don't worry, sir, we are not ANBU at all."

"Thankfully the ANBU was driven away by Naruto, otherwise your words would have caused public outrage."

"Sir, the relationship between Anbu and Gen is not good. It is best for you to be dissatisfied with each other."

"I know, I know why you are so nagging?"

"Sir, please don't ignore the reasonable opinions given to you by your subordinates. I am a good medical nin, well, better than Kabuto."

"Well, Kakashi, the great medical ninja who provides reasonable opinions, really doesn't fight you."

"Gen agrees with that my lord."

"With such confidence, there will be more tasks in the future. I hope you will always be so confident. By the way, I have something to ask you."

"Sir, long-term hypoglycemia can easily lead to Alzheimer's disease in old age."

"I didn't ask you this" Minato was a little angry.

"Oh, even though Kazekage hasn't officially replied yet, he has no objection to Gaara staying in Konoha, but he doesn't want to use the name of Proton."

"Did I ask you anything?" Minato continued to sigh.

"You asked."

"Forget it, it's alright."

"My lord, have you forgotten what you wanted to ask in the first place?"

"Okay, stop talking so much and help me find a book to read."

"No, Master Naruto will not allow it."

"Okay, okay, I understand. Just go. You're more annoying than the ANBU."

"But our Gen will not be like the ANBU. Gen will not hide anything from his master."

"I am honored to be your master, but why couldn't you change someone else if it was you yesterday or you today?"

"It's not me who works the night shift, sir."

"Are you a fly? You don't need to answer every sentence."

"Sir, can I say that I like the name Fly very much?"

"Okay, fly, but what should I do if I still can't sleep? Give me a sleeping pill if you insist on sleeping in broad daylight. Humans are not cats, and humans cannot sleep for more than 20 hours a day."

"Sir, sleeping pills are not on your medication list."

"It's so annoying." Minato felt that he was about to explode. He must discuss the issue of his new secret guard with Gen's person in charge as soon as he regained his freedom.

"Sir, since it is certainly reasonable for the doctor to ask you to sleep for such a long time, please listen to and trust the opinions of professionals. For example, if you tell us in advance this time, whether it is me or Kabuto, we will provide you with better professional advice. .”

"Yes Yes."

"Sir, there is no need for Kabuto to lie to you. Please don't do anything wrong next time. You were really rescued for almost 3 hours. Hypoglycemia can also kill people. Think about Master Naruto."

"I know."

"Sir, please follow the doctor's advice carefully, otherwise you will develop Alzheimer's disease when you get old. This is also true, I won't lie at all."

“You don’t have to say it multiple times a day.”

An ordinary day always starts with breakfast

Konoha, August 60, 8, sunny

Today, the legendary One-Tail Jinchuuriki Gaara met the legendary Sannin Jiraiya for the first time.

Today, Namikaze Minato ate food cooked by his son for the first time.

Today, Uzumaki Naruto was very happy that his father had finished the first breakfast he made, but for a long time he was still a little regretful that his father did not hug him and praise him like a flower.It wasn't until much later, when he ate the first meal cooked by his son, that he finally discovered that his father might have been as moved as he was and could only just eat.
