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

I don’t know when it stopped snowing and started raining. Then, under the rainbow in the sunshine, thin bamboo shoots sprouted.

The 13-year-old Uzumaki Naruto finally began to grow taller like a bamboo.However, this young man who never pays much attention to trivial matters such as why his pants are one section too short or why his shoes suddenly pinch his feet doesn't feel much at all.What he likes to care about now are big things, such as the Kingdom of Water, which is clamoring to officially join the Wind and Fire economic circle to make money together; such as the official documents of the two countries of Wind and Fire that cannot be converted to a unified time even if they use the same calendar, and, The spring bamboo shoots I dug today are quite tender. Can I ask the owner of the bamboo forest to go home and make soup for my father in the evening?

Well, in the spring of Konoha's 61st year, Genin Uzumaki Naruto has been working for a full year, but he is still doing D-level tasks in Konoha, such as holding a hoe and digging spring bamboo shoots together with Sasuke and Sakura.

Naturally, he was feeling a little depressed, but he was too embarrassed to complain to his teammates as often as he did last year.Because he has realized that Sasuke and Sakura were actually dragged down by him. It turns out that they have not left the village since they were young. It is not only because their father is busy, but also because strategic weapons like jinchūriki are too dangerous. God knows he is the only one. What is so dangerous about genin?Except for the last time he fought with the berserk Gaara and defended himself, he didn't do anything extraordinary. The two jinchuriki went berserk and only destroyed a few flowers and plants in the Konoha forest. The destructive power of any jounin was not. Worse, even if a chuunin went to a town and randomly poured some poison into the water source, it would still be more effective than a simple tailed beast or something.I don't understand what the jinchuriki is for.

"Naruto Uzumaki, don't be lazy. We need to pick out all the new bamboo shoots before sunset today. If we have to load them into the truck and transport them to the Kingdom of Wind at night, the mission client will make a lot less money and we will be kicked out. Complaint." Sasuke lowered his head and didn't even look at Naruto. He also knew why he couldn't do things like escorting goods and robbing bandits like other teams.

"Haha." Naruto smiled, a little embarrassed. Since his father was not happy for him to go on missions as a Jinchuuriki, he could only be his genin honestly. Besides, digging bamboo shoots was actually very interesting. Otherwise, how could he watch it? Young Master Sasuke, who couldn't tell the difference between leeks and garlic sprouts, looked like a peasant uncle with a white towel on his head, a serious face, and sweating while working in the sun.

"Naruto." Sakura looked at Naruto who was still giggling, and couldn't help but throw a clod of soil over him, "Work, don't giggle."

"Hehe." Naruto dodged and looked at Sakura, who was also wrapped in a towel, and smiled even more happily.

But Sasuke and Sakura were completely angry.They exchanged glances, and finally moved to the left and right, clenched their fists, and pounced on Naruto, who was still dazed.

then

The arms and thighs flew together, their faces were the same color as the earth, and the two people who finally pressed Naruto to the ground and couldn't move were also covered in mud like Naruto. The bamboo forest that had just rained couldn't possibly be dry.

But Naruto was still very happy. The smell of the fresh soil that had been turned over went straight into his nose and made him feel very comfortable. The two people on his back did not make him uncomfortable. The one pressing on him was Xiao Sakura, it was Sasuke who was pressing on Sakura. Naruto felt fortunate that it was the soft and warm Sakura who was pressing directly on him, instead of Sasuke with the ribs all over his body. However, Sakura should also be very happy. The little boy he had always liked thought about it, and Naruto was filled with joy and burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Naruto, why are you giggling?" Sakura strangled Naruto's neck and continued to exert force on her body.

"It's okay, Sakura, just keep pressing on me. Anyway, you are so soft and comfortable. I just don't know if you feel comfortable with Sasuke pressing on you."

"Papa." This was the sound of a slap touching a face. The slap belonged to Sakura, and the two faces belonged to Naruto and Sasuke.

Sasuke covered his face, a little confused, "Why did she hit me?"

Naruto also covered his face and ignored the obscene words he just said. He looked at Sasuke with a look of disbelief on his face and widened his eyes, "Sasuke, you just lay on her."

"Then what's the matter?"

"Actually, it's nothing." Naruto looked at Sasuke, who was still confused, and hinted with a wink, "Don't you think Sakura has become soft recently?"

"No, what does being still fierce have to do with her hitting me?"

"No, I mean on the body."

"Of course, she's actually a little fatter."

"She does have a lot of meat." Naruto looked up to the sky and sighed, "Your facially paralyzed brother, my father's office director, didn't say anything to you?"

"say what."

"Girls."

"Without him, there would be no female teammates, wouldn't there be no girls in your father's guard?"

"No." Naruto sighed and patted Sasuke on the shoulder, "Get to work quickly. When you're done, I'll take you to find Jiraiya-sensei. I think he will be more interested in educating you than educating me."

Sasuke was noncommittal, frowned, and shook off Naruto's hand, "Jiraiya-sama is still in Konoha."

"of course."

"Then why does our team still seem to have no mentor?"

"this"

"You can't push your dad. Didn't you say that your dad always wanted to change your teacher?"

"This." Naruto wiped his sweat, bent down and stopped talking to Sasuke. Sasuke, this innocent little boy, should leave this innocent boy to Jiraiya, that old pervert.

And what about Jiraiya at this time?

Hokage Building Hokage Office

Uchiha Itachi looked at the tall Konoha elder who was restless and walking around, feeling a little dizzy, "Jiraiya-sama, it may take some time for Hokage-sama's meeting to end. If things are urgent, I will Inform the Hokage-sama to adjourn the meeting first. If things are not too urgent, find a place to sit for a while. The Hokage-sama will naturally come back after the meeting."

"Why does he have meetings every day?" Jiraiya continued to spin in circles, "Why do you think there are so many meetings in Konoha? In the past, we just received orders from the Third Generation and just went to work, and we also discussed it. What the hell, your name is Itachi, kid, from that kid Fugaku’s family.”

"Yes, sir." Itachi stood at attention.

Jiraiya raised his eyebrows and looked at Itachi, who was said to be slow to react. Then he followed Itachi's gaze and scanned the entire office. The bright room had large floor-to-ceiling windows. On the left was a row of filing cabinets that were as high as the roof. On the right was the history of Konoha. On display of honor, there was the Hokage's desk and chair in the middle and nothing else. "

"Sir" Uchiha Itachi blinked, he didn't understand what Jiraiya meant.

Jiraiya stretched out his hand to compare.

Itachi paused for a while and nodded, then quickly poured a glass of water for Jiraiya.

Jiraiya took the water, sighed, and finally pointed to the corner, "You, you, and you told your captain, Hokage, is there a seat in the Hokage's office that anyone else can sit on besides Hokage? If I don't spin around, am I going to stick there like you and install telephone poles?" "

Itachi silently retracted his hand, silently opened the secret door of the lounge, silently sent the adult in, silently closed the door, then looked a little awkwardly at the three root ANBU who were surrounding him looking at magical beasts, and silently continued. Go to the filing cabinet and organize the files for the Hokage.As for the three faint sighs behind him, he didn't hear them, really.Isn't it just that I said the wrong thing again? What's the big deal? This is Jiraiya, the hero of Konoha. It's not like those officials from the capital who obviously have no strength but value their face more than their lives should not care about such trivial matters.

Konoha Anbu wanted to tell Itachi that you didn't say anything wrong.But look at the tone of your words. Of course, to the outside world, you can offend the officials and dignitaries who come to see the Hokage so that you can show the strength of the Hokage. But, who knows how many colleagues you have offended because of this young master's tone. I wish you the best. Sir, I also hold a grudge that you actually use the tone of talking to outsiders to talk to others.

in the lounge

Jiraiya drank water and sat on the sofa that was one size too small for him. He felt a little aggrieved. But it was really because of the sofa. If it weren't for Itachi, he wouldn't have the time to help Minato correct his subordinates' minor problems. Who knows that cunning person? Did the little fox deliberately train Itachi to be like this? What was running through his mind now was a more serious question. He wanted to leave Konoha.

He loves Konoha. Although he no longer knows where the forehead protector has been thrown, he is still willing to give his life for the third generation teacher, Konoha, Minato, Naruto, Konohamaru, and even any ninja of Konoha. But that was during the war.Now that there is peace, not only are ordinary people living less dangerously, but ninja missions rarely require their lives to be exchanged for reward.Then why can't he be free to do what he likes?

he doesn't deny him

I like Naruto very much, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed so long. Sasuke and Sakura are also very good, but he has stayed in Konoha for too long, almost a full year.When Naruto was 3 years old, Minato was busy fighting the war with the Kingdom of Clouds. He came back to deliver information, and by the way, he helped take care of the child, who was only 8 or 9 months old.Jiraiya felt that he shouldn't stay in one place for such a long time, even if all his relatives were here, it was his hometown.

&a;#8232;Especially, it might not be him that Naruto needs.

Thinking of Naruto, Jiraiya continued to sigh. Children grow up really fast. They were still chubby and soft-tempered the last time they met, but they still asked their father to chase them all over the street just to feed them. When they come back, they are already a little kid. He is an outstanding young man who knows how to protect his father and can even cook. So next time, can he trick the pretty girl into going to Hokage Rock to watch the stars with him in the middle of the night, and do something he loves while doing it? Jiraiya smiled, He was reluctant to let go. He had even had the urge to just stay. Anyway, he didn't know what to say to Sandai and Minato.

But Konoha with walls on all sides is really annoying

Jiraiya stood up and started walking around again. He really didn't understand why everyone didn't feel this way. Didn't they panic? Especially in this damn Hokage lounge, it was really hard for Minato to be in such a place. He couldn't sleep in a place with no windows. He couldn't help but feel suffocated. Jiraiya could hardly breathe.

"Teacher Jiraiya."

"what."

Naruto Namikaze had already closed the door to the lounge, but Jiraiya in front of him was still walking in circles in the narrow open space.

"Teacher Jiraiya."

"what."

Minato was happy, put down the document in his hand, and pulled Jiraiya, "Aren't you dizzy when you spin like this? What's wrong, Jiraiya-sensei, suddenly ran to the office to find me."

Jiraiya looked up, a little embarrassed, "Minato, the meeting is over. Why is there such an important noise? The corridor is shaking."

"Ah." It was a bit awkward to change the water door this time.

"Did I ask something that embarrassed you? Haha, you know me and me." Jiraiya felt a little uncomfortable when Minato didn't speak.

"It's a bit embarrassing to say it." Minato felt that his teacher seemed to be a little overwhelmed today, but he still answered immediately, "The new Hokage Building is almost built, and can be moved into it next month. Although the important files and files were last year We have already started packing, but it is not easy to move quickly without affecting the operation of Konoha. After all, everything in Konoha from its establishment to the present is probably in the Hokage Tower."

"Then why are you making so much noise? Just move slowly."

"After all, this is a place that has been used for so many years. There will always be people who are nostalgic everywhere." Minato poured himself a glass of water and filled some in the teacher's hand by the way. "What's the matter? What's the matter? Teacher, isn't it the best? Don't want to come into the Hokage's office?"

Jiraiya looked at the cup in his hand and opened his mouth, "You didn't come home at noon."

"Naruto's mission is all day today, so I'm too lazy to go back." Minato rummaged through the cabinet and found a box of biscuits, sat down on the bed and started to nibble on it while drinking water.

"I didn't eat at noon" Jiraiya frowned.

"I've eaten, but the food in the cafeteria is really not to my liking." Minato stretched out his hand and put the cookie bag in front of Jiraiya, "Chocolate peanut butter sandwich, it tastes good. There were a lot of new factories popping up in the Wind and Fire countries last year. Fire The country's excess agricultural products have been digested by them, and their excess labor can also be used. I am really looking forward to what new products this biscuit brand will appear this year. By the way, the teacher has been spinning around just now and encountered something that is difficult to solve. Do you want me to come forward?"

"No." Jiraiya looked at the disciples who were eating cookies seriously, but still did not express his intention to leave. "It just reminds me of Naruto when he was a child. At that time, we were fighting Cloud Ninja. Everyone was busy, and Naruto just I had no choice but to sleep in this lounge with you. That time, I don’t know why the brat woke up and jumped wildly on the bed. Then the bed collapsed and you were still sleeping there."

"Haha." Minato also laughed, "Yes, now that I think about it, I thought I was dreaming."

"At that time, Naruto was still soft. He only ate and slept. If you let him go east, he would go west. He didn't know anything. But he had a little temper and bit people when he didn't like it. Even your secret guards were bitten by him. Okay, now, I can no longer recognize what I was like when I was a child."

"Ah."

"Sometimes he wouldn't eat if he said he didn't want to eat. He would grab a plate and smash it on someone. I still remember one time when he started crying incessantly and no one could comfort him. In the end, you almost cried because of him."

"What's the matter? What we Naruto meant at the time was that he wouldn't eat even if my father didn't eat. I was touched."

"Just cover it up for him. Anyway, he didn't remember much at that time. I just came to ask. Since you have other ideas about the Kyuubi and Ninjutsu, I won't care. But do you need to teach me psychic skills first?" To Naruto."

"It's up to you."

"Then I'll teach him Minato first, and I'll let Naruto sign the psychic scroll."

"Well, with our Naruto's personality, we should be able to get along well with them."

"Of course, by the way, I've been wanting to ask you. Bunta said you haven't summoned them once since Naruto was born."

"There's nothing to disturb you," Minato replied vaguely, swallowing the cookie.

"That, Minato."

"Ah."

"Minato, you, I'm leaving first."

"Well, continue to help me keep an eye on the masked man. You heard about it. That man tried to contact Gaara. I suspect his purpose is the tailed beast."

"Really? Don't worry." Jiraiya's hand pushing the door paused, "I can do it Kakashi, I'm worried about Ming Gen. No matter how busy you are, you should pay attention to your teacher and don't let him eat cookies all the time."

"Yes, Lord Jiraiya." Kakashi suddenly appeared and waved his hand, "You must remember it too."

"Remember, remember." Jiraiya waved his hand, "I will send new year's goods back during the Chinese New Year."

"Kakashi, you are too blatant." Minato continued to bite the biscuit, "You are not allowed to watch the kissing paradise."

"Yes, sensei." Kakashi put down the document in his hand and replied simply. Anyway, Lord Jiraiya's new book is called Violence Paradise.

Minato looked up suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?"

Kakashi opened the folder and handed it over, "This is a letter of protest from all ANBU personnel in Konoha, excluding Gen. Teacher, what are you thinking about? We are ANBU. Why are ANBU on the top floor of the new Hokage building? Why is the entire ceiling It’s all glass”

"Aren't you protesting that the basement is cold and damp, and it's too far away from my office? Now your floor is the ceiling of my office. It just so happens that you don't like to walk through the door. It will be very convenient to enter directly through the exterior wall window in the future."

Kakashi looked into the teacher's innocent eyes, wordlessly snatched the cup and replaced it with ginseng tea.

Minato looked at the steaming tea and was about to drink it, but was stopped again, "What's wrong? It's so hard to drink water."

"Sir, Kakashi-sama's ginseng tea has not been tested." He calmly took the cup, took out a silver needle and inserted it directly.

Kakashi finally became anxious and said, "I am Anbu"

"I am the root."

"Okay, fly, you can go down. Kakashi and I still have some private matters to discuss." Minato suddenly felt very congested. He felt that he could no longer stand this boxy place without even a window. "Kakashi, why hasn't Gai been discharged from the hospital yet? Why did Dingzao attack so harshly this time?"

"Never mind him, but he has nothing serious to do. Kabuto said he would take the opportunity to study the treatment of the damage caused by Eight Gate Dunjia to the human body, so he was not allowed to leave the hospital."

"Is there something wrong with Kai's old injury?"

"Instead of worrying about him, it's better to worry that Naruto's new teacher just let Master Jiraiya go."

Minato sighed, "You can't stop someone who wants to leave. Konoha is indeed a bit boring for him."

what is freedom

In the spring of Konoha 61, the day when the first bamboo shoots were picked.For the first time, Sakura was not furious, but ran away with a red face.Sasuke was very concerned about being slapped on the face for no apparent reason.Naruto was happy to see his father eating the spring bamboo shoot soup he made with a huge appetite.
