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

Time flies, but a lazy woman stopped after weaving 15 shuttles.

Early October 60 in Konoha

a simnple day

Hokage Building, Hokage Office

Minato Namikaze stopped batching documents.He was basking in the sun, looking at a few small clouds floating in the blue sky, and couldn't help thinking about beautiful and beautiful things, such as his Naruto and Qinai.He didn't know how his Qinai was doing now, or whether she was anxious to wait for him.However, he still felt that he should wait a little longer before going to find her, because Naruto would definitely have a large number of children in the future, and he also wanted to see if he could give birth to a red-haired beauty that would pass generations. By then, he would also have a child. After his retirement, the boys were left to their young parents to care for themselves, while the granddaughters stayed with him to take care of him in old age. He wanted to give them the most beautiful dresses, the cutest toys, whatever they wanted, and then taught them the most beautiful things. He is a powerful ninjutsu who will beat back anyone who dares to bully him. He also has to memorize everything about everyone bit by bit. Remember clearly. If there are too few stories, how can he satisfy Grandma Qinai’s unparalleled curiosity? Woolen cloth.

Thinking of good things makes you feel good.

Namikaze Minato smiled, and then he resignedly continued to read boring documents.But he didn't have anything to stop his random thoughts in time. Anyway, what kind of laws merchants must abide by and what treasures are under the desert of the Kingdom of Wind have nothing to do with him.Also, Shikaku's method doesn't work at all. He creates two selves, just like shadow clones. One is happy and the other is unhappy, which means he is the whole. The separate shadow clones are also the whole hahaha, Minato As he was thinking about it, he suddenly stood up, opened the window, and stuck his head out. Now he really wanted to shout, "Nara Shikaku is a psychopath, that girl is absolutely schizophrenic."

But he didn't shout because the door to the Hokage's office was pushed open.

"I have something to tell you, Fourth Generation. Come out." This was the Third Generation who never had the habit of knocking on his door when entering his own office, suppressing his anger.

However, the Fourth Hokage looked at him for a few times, sat down calmly and continued to review the documents with his head down.

"I'm talking to you, Namikaze Minato." The third generation slapped his - once - desk.

Minato Namikaze didn't even raise his head this time, but the skilled worker Uchiha Itachi had already realized what he was doing. He covered his ears and ran as fast as he could, and waved his hand to clear out all the staff on duty within 100 meters of the office. If you know too much, you will really die. .

in the office

Seeing that Itachi had cleared the area, the Third Hokage slapped the table again, but this time no sound came out because he didn't slap it.The old man's mouth was twitching now as he looked at the cold caltrops under his hands, and he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded "Namikaze Minato"

Minato looked up and tried to flash his 18 teeth like Kai, but unfortunately, all the Sandai saw was a golden hedgehog with his eyes closed and his teeth bared.

"Minato" the third generation took a few breaths and calmed down, "Minato-chan, we need to talk, really."

Namikaze Minato curled his lips, "You tell me what your orders are."

It was a very polite and standard answer, but Sandai looked at Minato and became even more angry, "Try your eyes away and look at me."

"I don't want to see you, not at all." Minato shook his head. He just didn't open his eyes and he didn't want to think of unpleasant things.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen, who saw the people in front of him making nonsense, felt his blood pressure rising, "I don't want to see you yet, please open your eyes and get down to business."

"Don't open your eyes." Minato shook his head, "When I see you, all I can think about is Qinai. She smiled and said to me, why haven't you come to me yet? Do you know how lonely she is now? She has always been afraid of loneliness. , more scared than me."

"What does that have to do with me? It has nothing to do with me. Minato Namikaze, you're going to go crazy and go home." The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen almost punched him, but after all, this old man still knew what he was doing.He paused and said with restraint, "What is going on with the princess from the Kingdom of Wind that the country wants to marry?"

However, Minato ignored him. He closed his eyes and tilted his head, continuing to laugh, "It has nothing to do with you. If it weren't for you, how could Qinai be so lonely now?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the smiling man in front of him and broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed that today was not a good time to talk about things, but he had already been entrusted to come, so he just left and said, "The Fourth Hokage, the Elder Council of Saru Flying Hiruzen is asking you why the princess whom the Kingdom of Wind used to marry is the youngest 12th princess and not the 9th princess agreed upon at the beginning."

Minato still had his eyes closed, but he still remembered what he was doing, "It's a political marriage, aren't you, the Council of Elders, urging me to hurry up? It just so happened that the Country of Wind also wanted to consolidate the national alliance through marriage, so they got married."

"Don't act stupid, I mean the princess"

"Isn't that princess beautiful? I think she's very cute."

"Yes, she is very beautiful, but don't you think she is a bit too young for a marriage?"

"You're not young anymore, you're already 13."

"It's only half a year until 13. You want a girl who is not older than your son to marry a 22-year-old man."

"What's wrong"

"Minato Namikaze, what are you trying to do? What's wrong? The king is marrying the real wife. The 12-year-old child has left his hometown and married a 22-year-old man. How long do you have to wait for a 22-year-old man to marry this man?" Only when the girl consummates her marriage can she have a qualified heir."

"Ah. Regarding this question, if you are already engaged and married next year, you will be 14 years old. Since you don't agree, you can change someone else. Anyway, the fat man in the Kingdom of Wind has many daughters." Minato disagreed.

"Minato Namikaze has given out the betrothal gift and replaced her. Even if the leader of the Kingdom of Wind has no objection, you have to consider the feelings of the people of the Kingdom of Wind. Their most beloved princesses have been picked around and then the engagement has been canceled and replaced. Your brain Is it full of iron dysentery?" Sarutobi panted.

"That's it. I thought you didn't know that it can't be changed. Since it can't be changed, why don't you just wait a few years to have a child?"

"Namikaze Minato." Sarutobi Hiruzen clenched his fists, his whole body trembling.

"You don't have to keep reminding me, I know my name." Minato yawned. He felt that he should follow Kabuto's advice and maintain the good habit of taking a nap at noon, otherwise he would feel sleepy in the afternoon.

The former Hokage looked at his successor in front of him and felt a ringing in his ears and his whole head was about to explode.He squinted hard, trying to see Minato Namikaze's expression clearly so he could judge whether this person was really crazy or just pretending to be stupid. But the light filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the child's face was hidden from the light, so he couldn't see anything.The former Hokage suddenly didn't want to endure it anymore, and blurted out a question that had been swirling in his mind for many years.

"Do you want to usurp the throne?"

"what"

"Little Minato, you also know that it is almost impossible for me to stop you from doing anything now, so there are some things I want to hear your truth about."

"Oh."

Sarutobi Hiruzen gritted his teeth and continued to ask, "Do you want to usurp the throne?"

"Do not want to."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the junior in front of him who had his eyes closed as if he was laughing and laughing, and asked again, "Do you want to be the leader of the country yourself?"

"Hahaha," Minato continued to laugh, "No, without haha, the Hokage would have suffered enough. What is the Lord doing?"

"The king of the country was planning to get engaged to the prime minister's daughter the year before last. It was you who stopped it. You didn't want the only person with the right to inherit the country of Fire to have an heir, right?"

"The year before last, we were negotiating with the Kingdom of Wind. Look, it would be great for the king to remain unmarried and marry the princess of the Kingdom of Wind. How can a prime minister's daughter be worthy of the most powerful Kingdom of Fire on the mainland? As for the lord, besides, the king himself didn’t have any objections at that time.”

Dare the king have any objections? Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in his heart. He was already very disappointed with the cowardly king. Yes, the king himself didn't even say he had any objections. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to ask all the questions he was struggling with? After all, today I even asked the most inappropriate things. What else should I not ask, "When will I start training Naruto?"

"I don't need you to worry about how to educate my own son. If you have nothing to do, please come back. If the king has any opinions, let him come to me himself. I will definitely obey his will." Namikaze Minato replied coldly.

"Watergate."

"012110, seeing off guests."

Itachi appeared immediately and helped the Third Generation open the door to the office.Then he watched the third generation leave angrily, and suddenly he was covered in cold sweat. He had appeared too quickly just now, and he could hear the call of the adults for the first time, so

Minato looked at the nervous Itachi, stood up and patted his shoulder, "You seemed to have heard something extraordinary just now."

Itachi said nothing and smiled innocently.

Minato sighed, "You don't seem to be afraid at all of me killing people and silencing them."

"Don't be afraid, sir."

Itachi continued to laugh, "I believe you, sir."

"I believe it more than I believe Uchiha" Minato continued to sigh.

"I will always be loyal to you" Itachi said firmly.

"Okay, don't tell your parents everything, I'll burn some incense."

"grown ups"

"Forget it, it's not a big deal. If you don't tell me, your parents will find out through other channels. They can help me get a glass of water and do your own thing."

"Yes, sir." Itachi lowered his head, poured water, and silently retreated.He wanted to tell his lord that he would never speak nonsense, but he felt that he had really failed. Even the captain of the Hokage's guard, who was on duty in the office during the day shift, had access to various confidential documents. Bar.Even so, he was still not trusted by the Hokage.Itachi regretted it very much. If he hadn't listened to his family at the beginning, always said whatever he asked, and cooperated with his father's various arrangements unconditionally, maybe he would have found someone in the Hokage Guards even if he had no eyesight and caused trouble everywhere. Friends, no friends were invited to the carnival, so he could only eat the wedding candies brought home by his brother, so he was probably the only one.

Seeing Itachi walking a little disappointed, Minato continued to sigh and his mood continued to deteriorate.Especially after I wanted to pick up a cup and take a sip of water, but was told "wait a minute".

"Why is it you again?" Minato looked at the Anbu who was inspecting his cup in front of him.

"Ah, sir. I know from my humble position that your Majesty likes the little fly who was on duty for a while. Ah, why is he called the little fly? It's my younger brother. Of course, my child is not yet an adult. It's not good to be too tired from work, and he You can’t always work the day shift, you always have to switch with me for the night shift, and I can’t always work the night shift, because I also have to take a vacation.”

Naruto no longer knew what to say, "I'm thirsty, don't talk nonsense."

"Ah, sir. My brother is pretty good. He wants to work hard on painting during the holidays. You are not saying that he will be the same as an ordinary ninja in Konoha from now on, and he will be able to receive a pension in 20 years. I don't care, but he He's still young. Even after 20 years of service, he's still considered a young man, so whenever he gets a chance, he creates a fake profile for himself as a wandering painter, saying he wants to be a painter in 20 years."

"I'm thirsty."

"Sir, don't worry, the water is gone and there's no problem."

"Poisoning wouldn't be so simple, right?" Minato looked at the cup and the water in it that had been tinkered with various instruments, and suddenly he wasn't thirsty at all. "Actually, even if the poisoning is successful, it's not just a chance to try something new." The internal antidote and the external antidote were so painful that I vomited blood."

"Sir, believe me, if that happens, you will be so painful that you will vomit blood, and I will be secretly executed by my superiors, and my body will be left intact. I still want to see my little brother's painting exhibition in 20 years."

"It's autumn, I thought all the flies were dead." The Hokage covered his forehead.

"Sir, drink some water."

Minato squinted at the fly in front of him, doubtful.

"Sir, I have absolutely no name, no feelings, no past, and no future."

Minato felt helpless as he listened to the bent, upward-sounding word "lai" at the end of the last sentence, "Is your mission to be a lively chatterbox?"

"No, my job is to make you feel better."

Namikaze Minato didn't know if he was in a better mood, but Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that he was definitely in a bad mood.

By this time he had arrived home, locked himself in the bedroom, faced the wall, and smoked.

"Sir." Old housekeeper Sarutobi opened the window to let the lingering smoke disperse. "The hospital has already told you not to smoke all the time. You should pay more attention as you get older."

"It doesn't matter, I don't plan to live long anyway." The fire in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart grew stronger and stronger.

The old housekeeper sighed, silently closed the window, drew the curtains, went out, and closed the door firmly from the outside.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was carrying his back and heard various closing sounds behind him. After a long time, he silently put down his pipe.He took out the intercom invented by Minato Namikaze.He is actually more accustomed to the old intercom, but the channels of the old intercom will always be cross-channeled. Unlike this Fei Lei Shen communication version, one number is the same number. Unless someone specially monitors it, who will waste manpower and material resources to find him? As for the old man's troubles, besides, he can tell everyone about them.

"Men Yan, I went to ask about Minato's return."

"How is the result."

"Tell the king, otherwise the Kingdom of Zephyr will fall out and we will have a war with corpses everywhere. Otherwise, just wait until the princess grows up."

"Will the king be willing to do so?"

"Ha~ That boy is not his dead father and brothers and sisters. He doesn't even have the courage to talk to Minato face to face, let alone fight. Don't worry."

"Well, Minato"

"I don't care anymore, I can't control it."

"Okay. I'm going to reply to the king."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard the sound of Mito Monobu hanging up the thread, he still felt as if there was a lump of lead stuck in his heart, making him feel uncomfortable.He stood up and began to walk around the house. After walking a few times, he picked up his pipe and started smoking.The fine tobacco burned and produced thin smoke, white and light, but the old man's heart was still heavy, as if he was pressed under the Hokage Rock, and he couldn't breathe.

He quickly sat down leaning against the wall, continued to smoke, and continued to feel dizzy until he couldn't help but continue to broadcast the intercom number.

"Xiaochun."

"What's wrong?" Xiaochun asked curiously.

"Why do you think Minato controls the government?"

"Those people in the capital just like to cause trouble." Xiaochun sighed, "What's wrong with you? Don't you just ignore everything you say?"

"Ah. I just can't remember why we chose Minato Namikaze to be the fourth generation."

"There is no more suitable person besides him." Xiaochun smiled, "Just leave it alone. Didn't I say that we are no longer in the era of a thousand people in a village."

"But Minato Namikaze"

""

"Little Spring"

"Sarutobi Hiruzen was the one who was tricked by Danzo because of Orochimaru, and Tsunade ran away. You couldn't bear to have Jiraiya help you take the blame for Konoha's financial ruin, and it just so happened that little Minato fell in love with the Jinchuuriki. He is still young, and there are still many things he doesn’t understand very well, and he is easy to control, which is why he is asked to be Hokage.”

"What do you mean?" Hiruzen felt that his head was getting dizzy.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen, don't treat everyone as a fool. If you have the time to doubt this or that, why not think more about Sarutobi Asuma's marriage? He is in a relationship. Everyone in Konoha knows about it, but your father doesn't know about it."

"I know." Hiruzen felt a cold water poured down on him, making him more awake. "I know he is chasing Sunset Red."

"" Xiaochun sighed, "So, it is more important for you and me to discuss whose child is the child of whose family."

"Didn't you just have a wedding?"

"But there are still a lot of single young people in Konoha. Everyone is usually busy with their own work, and there are various confidentiality regulations that cannot show their faces at work. But ninjas still have to live their lives during the holidays. They also have to eat, sleep and find someone to warm their beds. , if we don’t make peace with them, who knows who is who.”

Hiruzen was silent for a moment, "Where are you waiting for me?"

"Home." Koharu raised the corners of his lips, "Also, don't talk to Minato recently. If you forget him, you can't forget that it's the anniversary of Kinai's death soon."

What should I do if I keep thinking about it?

Early October 60 in Konoha

a simnple day

There are many things that cannot be forgotten and many things that cannot be remembered.

But most of the people who are always unhappy are adults.Of course, children also have worries, but after worrying for 5 minutes, they can still be as happy as they want for the remaining 23 hours and 55 minutes. But these are children who are physically and mentally healthy and have a harmonious family.

For example, Uzumaki Naruto is still very happy, even though he is always followed by Jiraiya who writes novels and is more active than being a ninja during team missions, even though their team is becoming less and less like the elite team everyone thought when they were first divided into classes. .

But so what, he was just happy that his father said that he would take him to a secret place on his birthday in a few days, a place that neither Kakashi nor the others knew.The father and son want to have a drink together and have a heart-to-heart talk. This time, no one will be with them, just the two of them.
