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

Konoha 60

The night wind is heavy

Konoha, which is running at high speed, has gradually quieted down. Occasionally, some dreamy noises can be heard from a few construction sites in the distance. However, when the lights of thousands of houses gradually go out, only kittens in twos and threes are left to have an affair.

The nights in Konoha in September are no longer as uncomfortable as the heat in August, nor is it really cold like in October. Comfortable is the most appropriate adjective. In addition, the night sky is clear and cloudless, and the moonlight is shining. It seemed like it was a peaceful night, but someone just liked to ruin the atmosphere, so a fight started.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, before the patrol team on duty of the Security Department reached the remote training ground, they heard sounds that were incongruous with this quiet night. Two men were fighting, and a woman was trying to break up the fight. Whose house is this? Who and who is so bold to violate Konoha's security regulations? Whether it is an extramarital affair or a pre-marital love triangle, Elder Jiraiya will be punished by the Ministry of Security and law enforcement. Several young ninjas will not receive year-end bonuses. What?

However, the elites of the security department who were excited and left silently left, because the fight was between the AN Minister Kakashi Hatake and the captain of the field slashing team, Mitkai. Standing next to them, it was not clear whether they were fighting together or trying to break up the fight. Anko Mitarai is the new second-in-command of the Investigation Section.

If you get drunk and cause trouble, they will catch you. This is their duty.However, the more high-level gossip you know, the sooner you will die. This is an industry-wide creed regardless of nationality.

"Okay, you continue." Hongdou looked at the patrol that was running away, and then at the two men who were still tearing at each other's collars. She yawned and looked at her watch, "Anyway, the patrol has already recognized each other and gone away. , I went back to sleep."

"Don't run away. If you can't speak clearly, no one can leave." Kakashi grabbed Anko's arm and said, "Speak clearly."

"What do I have to say? I do have a mission. Anbu is not qualified to know what the mission is without going through the formalities." Anko pinched the flesh of Kakashi's hand with her nails, suddenly threw it away with force, turned around and left.

"Come back." Kakashi wanted to grab Anko again, but Gai was still in his hand, and both of them ran away as soon as he moved.

Hongdou looked back at the two people who obviously hadn't finished the fight, and waved her hands before turning around, "I'm leaving, you continue. By the way, I will go to the barbecue party on the night of the 16th, that's it, it will be really cold if I don't eat It’s over.”

Kakashi saw that Anko had agreed, so he stopped pestering her.He turned around and stared at Kai, who was already bruised and swollen by him, "What about you? On the night of the 16th, Naruto has been looking forward to the barbecue party all summer. I'll have enough beer."

"I'm not going." Kai stared at Kakashi, whose nose and face were bruised and swollen by him, breathing heavily.

"Why?" Kakashi frowned. He thought about it for a whole day and still couldn't figure out why Kai and Anko were unwilling to come to have a meal with the teacher again and again. It was obviously not like this before. They used to say that they came to have a meal. So excited.

"No reason." Gai kicked Kakashi on the knee, "I'll fight with you."

Kakashi dodged and punched Kai again on the chin, "There's no reason why you're hiding."

"I told you a long time ago that I won't go." Kai dodged his fist and hit Kakashi in the ribs with his head. "It was you who told the Fourth Generation that I was going on a mission. It was you who lied and you shined in your youth. Kakashi has lost his way in life."

Kakashi just dodged Kai's head and struck back with a backhand, but when he heard Kai's words, he almost fell to the ground.

Seeing Kakashi stunned, Kai saw the right moment and pressed forward with his whole body, holding Kakashi down so hard that he couldn't get up. "How do you feel about losing to an ordinary jounin again, Anbu-sama?"

Kakashi heard Kai smile happily and no longer wanted to refute anything, "I'm not competing with you. Kai, if you do this, think about what the teacher will feel like. I understand what he did wrong Anko, she is just a grown-up." As a young child, the teacher made her feel a little wronged because of Orochimaru at the beginning of the year, so it’s normal for her to be angry. But why haven’t you always been nice, and why are you suddenly like a stranger?”

Kai snorted softly and continued to exert force on his hands to prevent Kakashi from escaping, "So what if we sit together, we can't talk about being together at all. How can we keep eating if we go there?"

"Then just keep eating. Don't you always say that you are a foodie and stuff food into your mouth? Don't you think there is something wrong with whether it tastes good or not?" Kakashi stopped struggling, and Gai didn't want to speak in such a posture. Method.

"he asks."

"Just answer the question. If you don't want to say anything, just keep eating."

"I can't pretend and I'm not an official in the administrative system. It's better to just not meet each other if we get cold feet."

"Come on the 16th, teacher, I haven't seen you for a long time." After a few seconds of silence, Kakashi was still the counselor, "And you didn't even come to see him when he was sick some time ago."

"I'm a subordinate. I'm not a direct subordinate. I can just jump over the rank and violate the rules." Kai retorted.

"Subordinate, are you an ordinary subordinate?" Kakashi felt inexplicably angry when he heard the reason Kai gave him. A flash escaped Kai's control and stood directly in front of him, "Before you became an adult, your household registration was in the name of teacher like mine. Down."

Kai lowered his head and said nothing.

Kakashi took off his forehead protector and said, "Look into my eyes, Metkai, aren't you magnanimous? Look at me."

Kai looked up.

Kakashi looked at Gai, who was as serious as a javelin for no apparent reason, and didn't know what to say.Sure enough, "Although beasts and plants are in the same food chain, they are like an iron chain. If a link is missing, there is a missing link."Kakashi sighed, the teacher always spoke like a prophecy.I just don’t know if Kai, who heard this sentence with him at the time, still remembers it. Perhaps, Kai’s late-blooming idiot has probably forgotten even the first half of the sentence.As for the second half of the sentence, "So just like a wolf and a tree, the fight between Gai and Kakashi is really like a wolf hitting a tree."It's even less likely that Kai would remember it.

"At 16 o'clock in the evening on the 8th, in the woods behind the teacher's house, although it is not August 8, the moon is still full." Kakashi finally let go.

The black magpie flies south

Metkai watched Kakashi disappear and sat down on the steps next to the training ground.He actually didn't intend for things to turn out like this.But yesterday, his disciple Xiao Li had over-trained and rested all morning, and it was rare that another disciple, Hyuga Neji, wanted to fight with him.You know, the training ground full of equipment at your feet won't work. Who knows why I finally found a semi-abandoned training ground with few people and met Naruto. Who knows why I haven't seen Naruto doing morning exercises for several years. Otherwise, why would the Hokage pay attention to the whereabouts of an ordinary field captain, even if he really lived with the Hokage for a long time.

Kai knew that it was wrong to always reject the kindness of adults. Fortunately, his own adults had always been tolerant of him. If it had been anyone else, Kai really couldn't imagine what would happen to him.But he didn't tell lies to Kakashi either.He really could no longer sit at the same table with Namikaze Minato to eat and chat.Of course, the Yondaime Hokage Golden Flash is still the person he admires, no one else.Even though that person had changed over the years, he almost didn't recognize him anymore.Kakashi follows that person every day and is always affected. He can't even feel the huge changes in himself, let alone the Hokage.But for him, who is a little far away from the center of Konoha, it is really strange.

The Namikaze Minato in his mind was not what he is now. At that time, the Namikaze Minato was a hero, a real hero. He was upright, bright, brave and fearless. The most important thing was that he was sincere and never false. But later, when that person became Naruto is completely different from that.The current Minato Namikaze is simply a full-fledged politician, full of twists and turns, and has even become so willful that he manipulates public opinion regardless of right or wrong. Anyway, he just doesn't allow any voice he doesn't want to hear.Kai felt that he might never like the feeling of being manipulated until his death.Even if he's a ninja.But don't ninjas need to "think independently"? Obviously those four words were said by that person himself. He said, "Kai, don't blame your father, and don't blame Kakashi's father. The two of them have never been You have done something wrong, so you don’t have to worry about what others say, you just need to learn to think independently and have a clear conscience in the end.”

There is nothing wrong with logic if you have a clear conscience.

Kai rubbed Lao Gao's swollen cheeks, spit out a mouthful of bloody spit, and then stretched his body and lay down on the ground.The high sky is still clear and clean, the moon is big and the stars are small.very quiet

.Kai doesn't like silence. What he likes is blood boiling. Youth is the moment when the sweat evaporates after running with all one's strength.

It's a pity that there are too few people in Konoha who understand the benefits of youth.They prefer to benefit their own interests and the interests of Konoha.

Just like when Orochimaru's stronghold was wiped out.In addition to a large amount of gold and countless experimental data, Konoha did not leave a single prisoner.As long as it benefits themselves and Konoha, they can do anything, including killing innocent children.Doesn't anyone feel that something is wrong? In addition to the sound ninja, there are mostly orphans in several of Orochimaru-senpai's strongholds.They are just some orphans who were picked up. What's wrong with them? What can they do wrong?But what kind of massacre did Konoha do? It was an indiscriminate massacre. Of course, the young ANBU people now prefer to use the word "cutting people". But why should we use the word "cutting people" to refer to killing people? "Chopping pumpkins" is more appropriate. Is it a different word? Isn't it just killing a life?

The most memorable moment for Kai was being asked to last-hit a Bloody Successor that was very difficult to deal with.It was just a child, not much older than Naruto by the looks of it.He was too thin, and his long gray-white hair was withered and knotted with blood.It's a pity that he didn't seem to be able to meet the Hokage or the Anbu swordsmen and die happily, but experienced a tragic battle.The man was already dying, but he still stood supportively inside the wall of stacked bones.The team responsible for cleaning this area said that the bones grew out of the child's body and were almost cracked, but they still could not break through.Kai can no longer remember how he broke all those bones. He only remembers that when he helped the team of medics collect the blood inheritance data of the child, he could still hear his dying whisper, "Orochimaru-sama."

Yes, as a frontline force, this "beast" actually killed more people.It's not that he doesn't understand how to be tolerant to his enemies, or he's cruel to himself.But he still felt that it shouldn't be like this, it just shouldn't be like this.Why not he couldn't figure out.But when he smelled the strong smell of blood on Naruto's body, he couldn't eat anything. The Yondaime-sama took too many sick days this year. He was worried and missed him a lot. He also felt that he should go and say hello, but why did he have to eat together? If you don’t want to eat

Kai thought about it and finally fell asleep.

"Teacher Kai~~Teacher Kai~~~"

Kai opened his eyes fiercely and saw Xiao Li. He stood up like a carp and said, "Xiao Li~~You are finally here~~Start the struggle of youth under the beautiful morning light of Konoha. Let's warm up with 10000 push-ups first. "

Xiao Li stood at attention and saluted, "Yes, I am the teacher."

"Xiao Li, you can't wait for youth, and you can't waste youth." Kai had already started to warm up. He felt that the dew on his body was wet and wanted to evaporate quickly.

Xiao Li's eyes widened. Since Teacher Kai still insisted on training even though his face was bruised and swollen, how could he fall behind? "Teacher, 10000 push-ups followed by 10000 side kicks are enough to be active."

"Well done Xiao Li, another 10000 sit-ups. Youth is hard work."

"Youth is hard work" Xiao Li shouted after Kai.

Kai looked at the energetic disciples and was extremely happy.He held out his thumb and grinned, his white teeth shining in the last moonlight.He felt a little hungry, and he was thinking about whether to have fried noodles or bread for breakfast. But life was what he wanted, and righteousness was what he wanted. Maybe it would be a good choice for the two of them to eat fried rice with bread together.

Just like a long time ago, there was a very greedy person. He felt that with his intelligence, even if he couldn't get both at the same time, he could at least get one and a half.But the fact is that he has never succeeded even once, not having both, not having at least one and a half, not even having what he wants, otherwise there won't even be half left in the end.Because it’s not that if half of a dollar is lost, you can go to the bank and exchange it for 5 cents, or if half of a gourd is lost, it can be called a gourd, but if half of a person is lost, it becomes a corpse.

Konoha 60 Years 10th

8 a.m.

Today the General Staff canceled the regular morning meeting, but Minato Namikaze still came to his office on time.The large floor-to-ceiling windows of the Hokage's office were open, and the light cyan curtains swayed slowly with the wind.Minato sighed and sat down. The chair was still that stiff antique that made his back hurt whenever he didn't sit upright.He pulled up his sleeves and put his arms on the large antique table that matched the antique chair. The hard old wood was so cold that he always thought he was lying on a big rock.Minato rubbed it with his finger, and there wasn't even a speck of dust on it.But what's the use of the antique? It won't be sold for a price because it's gathering dust. He really wants to sell it and exchange it for a new one. Although he knows very well that if he really dares to do this, this Hokage will probably reach the end, so he still keeps it. If you don't want to do it anymore, then sell it.

"Sir, your juice." Uchiha Itachi pushed open the door and saw the Hokage sitting in a daze, with the files that had been sorted on the table not even moved.

Namikaze Minato continued to sigh, picked up the juice and drank it in one gulp, then the cup banged on the table, "012110, could you please give me a cup of tea and add some salt?"

Itachi frowned, he realized that the Hokage was almost as angry today as yesterday, and he didn't know who had offended him again.

"speed"

"Yes, sir." Itachi quickly grabbed the cup and disappeared without delay.

Minato looked at the air in front of him and continued to sigh. He felt that he had eaten too much candy recently and was always a little irritable. Why did he shout with Itachi just now? He didn't do anything wrong.However, after scolding his subordinates, he really felt a little better, just enough to give him the courage to read those documents that seemed to last forever, and then pick up a pen to review them.In the past two days, he began to doubt whether he really needed to look at these documents carefully.Just scold the department whose fault it is, and let them continue to solve it after scolding. He has so many departments to support so many people.

So he had better think carefully about how to write a serious statement for the collective wedding of his beloved generals. It is more important to not use the manuscript written by the General Staff anyway. There is nothing sincere about it. If you tell lies and memorize the manuscript, everyone will I can't tell that I don't care about you.

Just do it, our lazy Hokage pulled out the manuscript paper from the drawer and started writing, laughing while writing.He couldn't help but laugh when he thought that those short kids who were suffering from acne a few years ago were actually getting married and having children. He couldn't help but secretly worry that most of the parents at such a young age were orphans. I was born in a hospital, and due to special historical reasons, I have never done any D-level tasks. I eat in the cafeteria every day, pack dirty clothes and hand them over to the logistics department. Can I cook, wash clothes, and change the children's diapers?I hope Senior Xiaochun will remember to give them pre-marriage training.

"My lord, your tea."

"Yeah." Minato took the tea he was looking forward to and took a sip immediately. The sweet juice just now drove him crazy, but, "Itachi, how much salt did you put in."

"One spoonful." Itachi took out a salt shaker from his back, "Isn't it too bland?"

"No, no." Minato sighed, holding back the salty cough and asked Itachi, "Can Itachi cook?"

Itachi was surprised and replied, "Sir, I have never done this before, but I can learn it if I have confidence."

Seeing the confidence on Itachi's face, Minato's hand in writing the marriage certificate stopped. He now felt more and more that forcing the new generation of genin madmen to do D-level life tasks was the best proposal he had approved in the past few years.

Seeing that the Hokage was stunned again, Itachi reminded him out of habit, "Sir, the General Staff's documents are in a hurry."

"Yes, yes. Itachi, Xiaomei and the others are only three or four years older than you. People are getting married and becoming mothers of children. You have to hurry up. Kunoichi will always be the most sought-after in Konoha. If it's too late, they will all belong to others. ”

"Sir, please work hard." Itachi sighed and put the General Staff's document directly on top of the Hokage's draft paper, "Over there."

"Watch it now. I really want to know who of you will end up with whom."

"Adult~"

When it comes to gossip, there is no distinction between men and women.

September 60, 9 in Konoha, 10 days until the long-awaited wedding.

People are excited, but the atmosphere is starting to feel wrong

Especially today, before dawn, Konoha Hospital received the ANBU with a bruised nose and swollen face. Of course, ANBU entered through the back door.Then at dawn, we received the beast Kai with a bruised nose and face. Of course, Lord Kai always took the main entrance.So this confirmed the gossip spread by the security department. Kai and Kakashi were arguing about a woman. Who was she? Konoha's security regulations punished the death penalty for insulting a kunoichi.
