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

Children always count the days, wondering why it’s not their day off yet; while adults feel that time flies by so quickly, and a week passes without doing anything.But when there is a holiday, adults and children are actually the same. Those who don’t want to go to school will continue to want to go to school, and those who don’t want to go to work will continue to want to go to work.

Of course, the above remarks are only aimed at ordinary people. As for ninjas, they cannot be explained by normal logic.

For example, Konoha's fourth generation Hokage just stood on the podium and gave a clean speech.The man's voice was still impassioned and inspiring. He didn't look like he was recovering from a serious illness at all. He was so full of energy that it felt like he was worrying in vain. But it would be better to pay more attention in the future, after all. If even Hokage-sama has to join the Relapsed Injury Hospital Club every winter, Konoha's future will be bumpy.In particular, this adult is indeed a little too easy to get sick this year. If the almost 5 months of intermittent sick leave in the past 3 months since spring are true.

Hey, are there any days off when you're sick?

The Hokage doesn't have the nine-to-five and rotational work-office system that ordinary Konoha employees have.So if I couldn't learn to be lazy, I would be exhausted by now.Besides, they still have to find time to lead the Konoha Research Institute to come up with some new inventions, or they simply have to set up a bureau and wait for some disobedient people to jump out and catch them.But these are all rumors.Why are you saying that Konoha is a military fortress with strict confidentiality regulations and rumors cannot be trusted.But on the contrary, doesn't this just prove that the rumors that everyone can hear are all rumors specially released by ANBU or officials. If you don't believe it, the Hokage-sama is fine anyway, believe it or not.

By the way, the current location is the playground of Konoha School, and the time is September [-]st.The incident was that everyone attending the meeting listened to the speech of the outstanding ninja graduate representative of the previous class. The boy who was memorizing the manuscript with his mouth and cerebellum, and it looked like that, was the only son of the current Minister of Intelligence, Nara Shikamaru Chuunin.

It really makes me cry when I hear it.Uzumaki Naruto's genin team, who accidentally received the duties of general affairs and hygiene maintenance at the opening ceremony, had no intention of working since the moment Shikamaru chuunin appeared in sight wearing a brand new chuunin vest uniform.

"Why why why why?" Genin Uzumaki Naruto was gnashing his teeth at Nara Shikamaru who was speaking on the stage. Fortunately, he remembered that he was on a mission. It was really difficult for him to stand straight and straight without moving his mouth. No sound.

"Obedience to orders is the virtue of a ninja, Uzumaki Naruto, the son of the Hokage is also a ninja." Sasuke also stood upright. He glanced sideways at the fire coming out of Naruto's eyes, his hair that exploded with anger, and his hair that began to slowly soar. Chakra, although he knew that persuasion was meaningless, it would be a big joke if Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki went berserk because he was jealous of a classmate who became a chunin earlier than him.

"Hey, aren't you angry? During Sasuke's chunin exam, it was obviously us who won, not Shikamaru, Shikamaru lost, he was the only one who lost, did I remember correctly?" Naruto continued to grind his teeth.

"Don't talk nonsense." Sakura didn't move, just squeezed out four words one by one through her teeth, although she wanted to punch Naruto in the back of the head to shut him up, "Now It’s duty time”

"I know I'm on duty, but why did that guy become a chuunin without saying a word, and I still have to do damn D-level tasks silently every day?" Naruto continued to spit fire with his eyes, "I am also a Jinchuuriki after all."

"But jinchūriki are also ninjas." Sasuke tried his best to persuade, "but all ninja promotions are approved by the Hokage himself."

Naruto finally calmed down. He silently looked at the Hokage on the rostrum who seemed to be listening to the new chuunin's speech very seriously.

Ryo Shikamaru-san had finished his speech and silently sat back at his seat at the stage. He glanced at him silently and then continued to look at the sky silently. He saw that the Third Generation had stood up and said, "Let me add a few more words." His father looked at him seriously.

Now Naruto was even more angry.When I get angry, I start thinking more and more wildly.

What, you said people have random thoughts in their heads, how do others know?

Of course the child's father.According to Konoha's principle, the one who knows his son best is definitely his father.Namikaze Minato saw his son looking at Shikamaru from a distance on the podium and knew that the boy was probably furious.When his son's eyes turned to him again, he knew that he was probably too angry to be coaxed.But now he couldn't hug and kiss his son on this occasion. As a result, the Hokage, who still had residual resentment, was too embarrassed to anger Shikamaru, a junior, and could only express his dissatisfaction to his colleague Nara Shikaku.

But Nara Shikaku didn't feel any discomfort.His son was so good, so good that Minato Namikaze was jealous, so what else could he be dissatisfied with.As for the child who was actually looking at the clouds, but actually looking at the clouds lazily, Lu Jiu naturally respected his son.Besides, he wasn't like Minato Namikaze who had to hang around his son all day long, he was here to work.

He is now as invisible as an ordinary ANBU on duty. I don’t know since when, various departments in Konoha have had such a habit of dividing up the new students: at the beginning of the school year, they will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the new ninjas, and find the suitable ones to work in their own departments. personnel, and then assign teachers to focus on training to ensure that those young genin who have just graduated can quickly be replenished in front-line positions that are always in short supply.

But this kind of person is not easy to choose, so when the ceremony was almost over, he only noticed one little guy.The little guy looked at his son with the same unconvinced look as Naruto, but he hid it very well.Moreover, when his eyes glanced at the boy who was only 6 years old, he was actually very responsive even though he had not received professional training. He was really sharp.The Minister of Intelligence decisively put a mark on the child's back and snatched another future employee of his Intelligence Department.Then he quietly handed over to other department heads who came to pick people, and left with satisfaction.

But it was a pity that the big shot who left quickly did not see the 6-year-old child smiling as he left. He was finally selected by the intelligence chief at the freshmen report meeting, which meant that he actually completed it so smoothly. The selection and assessment of "roots" for joining are focused on.This made the child very excited. He was just an orphan, the kind of orphan who didn't have the names of his parents or relatives engraved on the memorial tablet.Although Konoha never refuses children raised by themselves to become ninjas, it is actually very difficult for orphans like them to become ninjas.After all, Konoha has never been rich, which means that being able to provide them with food, clothing, and a roof to protect them from wind and rain is already the limit.Ninjas have very high requirements for physical fitness. Good physical fitness means not just eating enough.Besides, the cultivation of chakra also requires talent.Therefore, even if a child like him is selected into a ninja school, he may remain a chunin for the rest of his life due to lack of resources.But now he no longer has to worry, because he is about to become a "root".Of course, this 6-year-old child still doesn't understand what "The Root of Konoha" is, but he already knows why the seniors in the orphanage asked him to eat enough in the morning, because from standing up in the morning to noon, the third generation finally had Speaking of Konoha 60 years.

Konoha, September 60, 9, 10:45 am

Konoha, the Country of Fire, the Hokage's office is still the same Hokage building that has existed for half a century.

"It's such a boring life." After the outdoor meeting all morning, Bo Fengshui, who was sweating a little, was sitting on the uncomfortable chair, enjoying the air conditioning, basking in the sun, and drinking hot juice. It looked like He looked like he was not happy to work.

Itachi Uchiha, who had been working the day shift as the captain of the Hokage guard for 8 months and 03 days, had become accustomed to not taking the Hokage's word for granted, especially when the man was in good spirits.

"012110, let's talk to you." Namikaze Minato looked at Itachi in black wearing a smiling fox mask and frowned, "Take off your mask, isn't it hot in the summer?"

"Sir, it is a rule to dress uniformly during duty hours." Itachi ignored the Hokage and continued the work at hand, sorting out the documents that needed to be reviewed today for the Hokage.

"I asked you to take off your mask"

Itachi immediately took off his mask and stood at attention.The Hokage's voice just now was very serious. If he couldn't even hear it, he would have died without knowing that the mission was on.

"Okay, you can talk now." Naruto said calmly as he continued to drink the juice.

Itachi swallowed, he didn't quite understand why Naruto was convulsing, but he knew that his Hokage might not be in a good mood, otherwise he wouldn't be so moody and easily offended.Itachi didn't want to make the Hokage unhappy, but he still had to report, "The king wishes to have an interview with you. Regarding his marriage to the princess of the Kingdom of Wind, you just happened to go to the capital for a meeting on the afternoon of the 3rd. Do you want to see the king?"

"Since he wants to meet, help me arrange it." The Hokage has already begun to review the documents lined up on the table. "By the way, Itachi, I remind you again, you are not allowed to follow Kakashi's example. You must use the Hokage request to see the country when returning official documents. The Lord begins.”

"Yes, sir. Itachi understands." Uchiha Itachi carefully marked on the notepad and continued to report, "It was originally scheduled to

The collective wedding of Konoha's 60-year-old young ninjas on August 15th has been postponed once again to the 18th of this month. The Uchiha beauty jounin and the Hyuga younger brother jounin, who you agreed to marry during the Chinese New Year, represent all the 15 couples who want to get married. Couple asks you, is there any problem on the [-]th of this month? "

Minato Namikaze took a breath, gritted his teeth and paused, "Write a letter of apology for me, my beloved generals. Due to various reasons, the wedding has been postponed for half a year accidentally. I am really sorry. Everyone must be on the 15th of this month. We can get married, I promise that nothing will happen to me this time."

"Yes, sir." Itachi placed the paper with the dictation completed in front of the Hokage.

Namikaze Minato took one look and signed quickly.

Itachi picked it up, not showing it on his face, but he still felt much more relaxed in his heart. There was a sentence behind the signature. Since he knew he was pregnant, he should get the certificate first and then hold the wedding. Silly children.

"012110, why don't you just send the letter with a silly smile?" Namikaze Minato, who seemed to be a little more relaxed, gave Itachi a pen, "I thought you couldn't smile, so isn't this facial paralysis?"

"Yes, sir." Itachi suppressed a smile and put away the documents, "By the way, sir, Kakashi-sama said that the family barbecue party originally scheduled for tomorrow night has been rescheduled to the night of the 16th. Senior Kai will lead the team on a mission tomorrow , Senior Hongdou will also go on a mission tomorrow."

"I know, help me tell Naruto. And Gaara, also inform Gaara." Minato suddenly stopped talking.

Itachi questioned.

Immediately the door opened.

"Yondaime, come with me."

When Itachi saw the Third Hokage, he was suddenly stunned. He didn't know if he should run out and exercise his duty as captain of the guard to clear the place like his father did last time.But soon he didn't have to worry, because the fourth generation and the third generation left together.

Itachi sighed. He rarely had any emotional reaction because of the cold faces of the third and fourth generations. Instead, he was more interested in his ANBU field teammate who was pregnant and took leave as an expectant mother. So instead of worrying about Naruto , he also thought about how to comfort his proud brother when he went home at night.However, he didn't quite understand why the first spot for Chuunin promotion was given to the insignificant Nara Shikamaru instead of Master Hokage and his best brother.

"I still can't figure out why it's Shikamaru. I admit that he is very smart, but we are the ones who win. Why did he become a chuunin?" Uzumaki Naruto continued the finishing work of the opening ceremony, moving tables and sweeping the floor. Still complaining.

"I don't know, go home and ask your dad." Sasuke finally became impatient. He felt that he would not be able to wear black clothes when he went to work in the summer. Although as a well-trained ninja, he could completely control himself from being so sweaty and embarrassed, but he should Hot or hot.

"My dad didn't even say a word that I was a Jinchuuriki. Do you think I could ask?" Naruto thought of his dad and suddenly felt that he wasn't angry at all. "My dad is willing to approve this guy Shikamaru to be promoted to high school." Shinobu must have his own reasons, and it must be for my own good that he doesn't let me advance to chunin."

As Sasuke listened to Naruto's whispers, he suddenly felt a chill and no longer felt warm at all.His teammates and his father were controlled by their fathers, and they had no explanation. "Uzumaki Naruto, you are 12 years old. Boys should have independent thoughts. It is necessary to listen to your father in everything."

"Um" Naruto couldn't accept it. In his impression, Sasuke was the obedient baby who didn't dare to go to the west when his father said something. "I've never really thought about this problem, but Sasuke, it doesn't sound like that." You said it."

"My brother said it was my mother who said it." Sasuke blushed a little when he was found out, "Anyway, a man shouldn't listen to his father for everything."

Naruto blinked, "There's nothing wrong with saying that."

Sasuke also blinked, imitating his serious father's tone, "There is nothing wrong in the first place, Naruto, after you go down, you must realize that we are men."

Naruto nodded vigorously. His father also wanted his son to become a man. You see, even the clingy Kakashi was recently kicked out of the house by his father to seek independence.

So the two boys looked at each other to confirm, and then continued working thoughtfully.

But Sakura beside her couldn't stand it anymore, and she sighed repeatedly.Although her mother had reminded her long ago that boys always mature later than girls, she understood that physical development has nothing to do with IQ. It's okay for Naruto to be arrogant. He has never been arrogant since he was a child, but Sasuke's idol has collapsed. Boys really can't just look at their faces.

However, Jiraiya, who had been hiding in the tree to catch up on the manuscript, was moved by Naruto and Sasuke's "Declaration of Manhood". He wrote this sentence in a new chapter: Boys must have their own independent thoughts, This is even more true when it comes to choosing a woman, and he did as he was told and immediately jumped off the tree, "I also agree that men should have their own opinions."

The three genin were startled by the sudden appearance of the teacher. They all hid their faces and sighed. They thought the instructor had skipped work today and didn't come out to work with them.

"What's wrong?"

"Yes, you are right." The three genin nodded in unison.

"No, you have objections. I see it and say it." Jiraiya frowned.

"We have no objection." The three genin replied in unison.

"Naruto~Sasuke, Sakura, your eyes betray you, you have objections" Jiraiya observed, narrowing his eyes.

Sakura sighed, "Jiraiya-sama, haven't you read the Konoha Ninja Code? The one established by the first Hokage and still in use today."

"A Konoha ninja knows it by heart." Jiraiya asked, "What does it have to do with being a man?"

Sakura looked up and smiled, "Chapter 1 The first rule of obedience is the virtue of a ninja. Subordinates must obey their superiors. When two ninjas of the same level give opposite orders, the Hokage's order shall prevail. That is, any conflict of orders shall be subject to the Hokage's order. . This provision applies to any time and any place within the scope of non-private life. Any violation will be punished as mutiny. If there are special circumstances, you can apply to the Hokage for arbitration, and you will be punished or commended depending on the severity of the case and the consequences."

Now Naruto and Sasuke also had questions.

Sakura sighed again, she pointed at Naruto and said feebly, "In other words, disobeying the Hokage's orders is treason, but this guy is the Hokage's son."

Jiraiya thought for a long time before reacting, and hugged Naruto who bowed his head silently, "Anyway, you are a good boy who listens to your father. Besides, that rule only applies to non-private life. Hahaha, in life anyway You are also in charge of your father, hahaha, Sakura, a ninja must learn to be flexible and you are a medical ninja. The more rigid a medical ninja is, the higher the mission failure rate will be."

Sakura looked at Jiraiya who suddenly changed the subject, lowered his head helplessly and said, "Yes, sir. What you said is correct."

"Look up, Sakura, the most important thing for a qualified medical ninja is confidence, self-confidence." Jiraiya patted Sakura on the shoulder, "Come on confidence, come with me and shout confidence, come on, don't be shy, 123 confidence, confidence."

Sakura raised her head sharply, but she didn't yell as much as Jiraiya imagined. She felt that her masseter muscles, laughing muscles, oral muscles, and complex muscles were all malfunctioning, so she had better stop talking. Boys are just as stupid as men who don't grow up. , if it weren't for Jiraiya-sama, Sakura felt that she would definitely give this laughing old man a big fist, and have such teachers and disciples for the beloved Fourth and Third Hokages. A moment of silence.

But Jiraiya was relieved to see Sakura seem to understand something.This little medical nin still has something to teach him.

And Naruto and Sasuke really had their mouths twitching together. They were just talking casually to pass the time. They were just boring little girls like Sakura, but Jiraiya-sama should hurry up and go to the Hokage's office to urge the new teacher. Problem.

I really don’t have much time to talk when I’m bored.

Konoha, September 60, 9, sunny to cloudy

Today, Nara Shikaku found a good candidate and planned to recruit him into the Intelligence Department later, but he never knew until his death that that child was a "root".

Today, everyone knows that the Third Hokage called the Fourth Hokage away and said something for a long time, but just like many times before, no one will probably know what they said.
