Konoha, the Land of Fire
Two days later.
As soon as the Mizukage left,
The rain stopped, just as the rumors had predicted. It's just that it stopped, which was strange.
Here's what happened.
Early yesterday morning, the Mizukage, who was supposed to leave the night before yesterday, actually met the Four Generations, who was on sick leave. But listening to the people present, it didn't happen as everyone imagined.
It was a melodramatic story about a man whose wife died and a woman who couldn't get married. The Hokage sent the Mizukage and her entourage out of the country in a formal manner. Then the tall Konoha gate was closed.
The rain still didn't stop. Sure enough,
The rumors that the Mizukage was a woman who specialized in bringing bad luck to people were dispelled. Well, if the rain continued to fall, then so be it. If it didn't happen right away, then an even more miraculous scene would appear.
Our Naruto -sama stretched out his hand from the transparent umbrella and looked at the sky.
He said,
"Even if it's really punishing us to change the weather,
It's been raining for a long time,
It's time to stop. "
As a result, the rain slammed on the brakes and really stopped. After a while, the dark clouds dispersed.
The blue sky, white clouds, and the fiery red sun just came out of the mountains.
So shocking!
Looking at the faces of all the people present at that time, it was obvious. Although there weren't many people, such a strange thing must be spread around and talked about. Bo Fung Watergate was really a man favored by God!
But not long after, the people who talked nonsense in the streets were slapped in the face by God. At midnight, the clock rang.
As soon as it arrived, it started to rain again. Although the drizzle didn't have any effect on Konoha, it didn't have time to repair the roof of Naruto's house.
As long as there was water, it was a disaster.
So at 4: 30 in the morning.
Bo Feng house.
One of the owners of this respected house,
Naruto Uzumaki finally sat up and covered his ears. As a Genin, he was like the other Genin who stayed in Konoha yesterday.
Taking advantage of the clear weather,
He was arranged to dig the sewers for a whole day. Konoha Ninjas weren't afraid of being dirty or tired, but they still needed to sleep. So please believe that our young master is still dreaming even when he sits up.
He had just dreamt of beating Sasuke to a pulp and waiting for him to kneel and beg for mercy. Then, he was splashed with dirty water by a smiling Sakura. Strangely, the bloodstained toilet paper almost reached his chest, and the instant noodle bucket that he had secretly made in the middle of the night when he was hungry was placed on his head. There was also a pure golden leaf that floated in front of him. He was a little cold and dripping with water — yes, dripping.
Naruto Uzumaki abruptly opened his eyes and woke up from his nightmare. Under the moonlight, he saw the basin on his desk. There was already a shallow pool of water inside, but the large water droplets that leaked from the ceiling still hit the bottom of the iron basin.
He sighed, jumped up, opened the curtains, and looked outside. The moon was indeed almost full, and the shadows of the trees on the window were swaying. When he looked carefully, the rain fell from the sky like a hidden weapon. But a hidden weapon was a hidden weapon, and being invisible didn't mean that it didn't exist. Naruto rubbed his eyes and carefully controlled Chakra to climb up the wall to check the leaking raindrops. It was leaking, it was leaking. It was said that waterproof tape couldn't fix the leaking roof! Silly father!
Naruto helplessly reached out and pulled off the layers of tape that were neatly stuck on the wall. He accidentally brought down the damp wall that was the size of a washbasin. Then? He saw the wooden ceiling that was finally completely exposed. The ceiling had been severely deformed, and large patches of dark green mold formed a ghostly face that smiled eerily. Naruto endured the chills and pulled at the ceiling. He vaguely saw the tiles. Through the tiles, the bright moonlight mixed with the rain almost fell into his eyes. This made Naruto feel weak. It was such a big crack, it would be strange if the rain didn't leak!
So Naruto calmed down. He nimbly got down from the ground and solemnly threw the wall in his hand to the corner of the wall, where his companion, who had died a few days earlier than him, was waiting. As for the crack? He'd better think about where to sleep tomorrow. Qimu's old house was decorated very comfortably, but Kakashi was a big idiot. He knew that his father was in a bad mood, but he still inexplicably caused trouble for him. How could he move in? If he didn't live at his place, would he have to live somewhere else?!
In short, Naruto angrily pushed open the door. Although his father worked overtime last night and slept in Naruto's office, his poor bedroom was still leaking! Moreover, Captain Bunny was definitely following her father, so who knew if the useless shadow guards left behind would remember that there was a leak!
But when he opened the door, he smiled before he could get angry.
At the door, two Shadow Guards were bent over. They were wearing black clothes, black pants, black heads, black feet, and black mops — they were seriously mopping the floor.
"You don't have to." Naruto scratched his head.
"Of course." Suddenly, a man came up from downstairs and said, "One person is enough on the second floor. Go mop the dining room. The windows downstairs are not closed properly. It's raining."
"Yes, I'm Eero." The two Shadow Guards looked at each other, and the loser went downstairs obediently.
As for Naruto? He stretched out his arms and shook his hands. "You, you, you."
Eero leaned against his big calabash and drank orange juice with a straw. He looked up at Naruto. Is your room leaking too?
"It's not that bad." Naruto looked up and sighed. Almost all the walls of the corridor were wet. Droplets of water dripped freely along the waterproof tape. "This is so depressing. It was almost dry after being exposed to the sun for the whole day yesterday. Today's rain is so light. How can it leak like this?"
"It's because it's wet and dry. It's cold and hot. Young Master Naruto, you should know that the whole structure of this house is made of wood. It's the cheapest artificial board in the past, and it's been used for so many years. "The Shadow Guard who stayed on the second floor explained. He lowered his head and wiped the floor.
Naruto patted the Shadow Guard's shoulder comfortingly. The Shadow Guard was only a few years older than him. "Anyway, I know this house is going to die soon. But it's useless to tell me. It's the owner who makes the decisions. What's the situation in my dad's room? To be honest, I don't want to see it at all. "
The Shadow Guard sighed. Eero gave Naruto a look. When you wake up, you'll be drowning.
Naruto also gave Eero a look. He turned around and opened the door to Watergate's bedroom. The thick new curtains were tightly shut, and it was dark. Even when he opened his eyes, he could only hear a familiar "ding ding dang dang" sound. It was the sound of water droplets hitting the basin. It was the same as his room, but there were a few more basins. Naruto decided to check carefully. It would be best if there were no new leaks. But before he could touch the light switch, he was stopped.
It was Eero's sand that stopped him.
"What?" Naruto stared at it.
"There's a leak." Eero stared back.
"Didn't you go back to the Sand Hidden with your dad? Why are you still here?" Naruto withdrew his hand.
"I just made some juice. Do you want to drink?" Eero took back the sand and shook the cup in his hand.
"After a while." Naruto nodded. He touched the flashlight on his dad's bedside and looked around the room. The water was dripping, but fortunately, there were enough basins. As for the neat tape? He didn't need to look to know that it was heroic and glorious.
"Didn't you say that you wouldn't come down after the Mizukage left? Why are you still here?" Naruto put down the flashlight and muttered.
"Because it has nothing to do with the Mizukage." Eero shot Naruto another glare.
"That's what everyone says." Naruto closed the door and went downstairs with Eero. "It's useless to despise me. At first, I didn't believe Kakashi. But recently, everyone is secretly saying that my dad was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself when he saw a beautiful girl throwing herself at him. That's why he only met the Mizukage in public when she was leaving."
Gaara didn't look at Naruto this time. Naruto rolled his eyes. "Your father isn't that bored. That woman is endless trouble." Gaara didn't look at Naruto this time.
"Yes, that's what my dad said." Naruto continued to talk to Eero. "Endless trouble."
Eero sighed and poured juice without saying anything. He still didn't understand how Naruto knew what he was thinking.
But Naruto didn't care about this kind of thing. He grabbed the juice and drank two mouthfuls. "Eero's room also leaked. What about tomorrow?"
Eero shook his head. As a tenant who didn't pay rent and received pocket money, it was better for him not to comment.
"A few days ago, my dad and I moved to Kakashi's place. If you came back a few days earlier, you probably would have lived with us. But my dad still wants to come back to sleep. Kakashi can't do anything about it. " Naruto drank the juice in one gulp. "Also, yesterday, he finally glued the leaking raindrops together, but it leaked again in less than a day. I think he'll be angry.
You should be careful. He's been very angry recently and in a bad mood. "
It would be strange if he was in a good mood. He just suffered a big loss. This time, Eero closed his eyes and poured more juice for Naruto.
"What loss did my dad suffer?" Naruto could hear Eero's words. "Hey, you don't think my dad is really depressed because he missed the beautiful Mizukage who threw herself at him, do you?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Eero immediately explained. "It's more important where we sleep tomorrow."
"The world is big, there's always a place to sleep. My dad suffered a loss! Are you saying that the Mizukage gave him trouble? " Naruto was shocked. "Because it's not convenient for my dad to do it himself, and Kakashi didn't help him. So he's angry with Kakashi? "
That's not the point. Eero didn't know what to say when faced with Naruto's imagination.
Kakashi also told me that he didn't know why my dad was angry. If he knew the reason, at least he would have a way to comfort him. I can accompany my dad to sleep on the street, but Kakashi's house is really good. It's warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There's also a hot spring, and the kitchen has everything you want. "
You won't understand even if I tell you. Eero continued to press the orange on the juicer.
"It's fine as long as Kakashi understands. Really, the snacks I just bought are still in his house. They haven't been touched yet. Don't spoil them. "
Snacks. Eero thought about it. He really couldn't use sand to fill the hole when it rained. The sand would seep into the water. So he handed the orange in his hand to Naruto. He began to speak.
"In fact, whether your dad meets the Mizukage or not, as long as that cunning woman enters Konoha's door, or even enters the Fire Country, her goal will have been achieved."
Naruto frowned.
"Let me tell you, you won't understand. In short, the Earth Country is barren. In the last war, they didn't get enough benefits for their development. Now, they still haven't changed their country's military management. It's a joke to say that they don't want to fight again. But your dad doesn't want to fight, so now the Wind Country and the Fire Country have to unite to guard against the Earth Country and Shinobu Iwa. If your dad doesn't pull the Land of the Wind into the fight, the Fire Country in the center of the mainland will definitely be in a mess. And the Wind Country and the Water Country are peninsular countries and completely island countries. If they don't want to participate in the war on the mainland, they should stay together and make money from the war like before. But your dad is ruthless. First, he found an excuse to take over the Wave Country, so the Fire Country will have a springboard on the sea. This will reduce the threat of the Water Country's monopoly on the Fire Country's shipping. Then, he came up with a 'Wind and Fire Alliance Economic Development Plan'. Do you understand? "
"You also know about that plan." Naruto touched his head. "But what does this have to do with my dad's loss because of the Mizukage?"
Eero sighed. He was doubting the meaning of continuing. "Because that plan was very successful. Last year, the financial resources of the Fire Country and the Land of the Wind increased by three times. But when this plan was implemented, the Wind Country and the Fire Country started to exchange their internal businesses. The whole mainland's economy had nothing to do with the Water Country. The Water Country's money was the Fire Country's money. It would be strange if they didn't feel anxious when your dad cut off their source of income. In the end, I don't know if the greedy king of the Water Country changed his mind out of jealousy, or if the merchants of the Water Country were jealous and rebelled against the country's orders. So the economic plan has an additional 'Wind, Fire, and Water Alliance Economic Cooperation Treaty'. "
"Well, I heard that my dad set a trap for the Water Country." Naruto scratched his head. "You're so talkative. He's happy to have the Water Country join. Why would he be unhappy? The Mizukage didn't cause trouble for him like your dad did. "
If only the Kazekage were as smart as the Mizukage. Eero was relieved that Naruto could understand a little bit. He didn't waste his breath. "Think about it, the merchants of the Water Country dared to act without the king's order. Plus, the merchants had money and people in their hands, so the king of the Water Country was not stable. If the king wanted to be stable, he could only unite military forces if he couldn't unite the economic forces. The Mizukage, Mei Teru, suddenly succeeded in a coup a few years ago. Who would believe that there was no support behind her? But the king of the Water Country was not at ease with military forces. Your dad's example was a lesson. He had to control the village, not let the village control him. After thinking about it, the king came up with a good idea. He proposed marriage to the Mizukage. He turned Katana into his wife and gave birth to a child. The village had no choice but to support the king. "
"What does that have to do with my dad?" Naruto scratched his head. "If they want to get married, then let them."
"It's your father's business. Terumi Mei doesn't seem to be willing to marry her King. But the Mist village is economically controlled by the country. She can't offend the king for the sake of the village. So she took a fancy to your dad. No one in the world wants to take the initiative to provoke the Golden Flash. "
"Hey, why do you make all the rumors sound so real?"
"How can there be such a thing in the military fortress? It's not a joke when the two Kages fight. Besides, is the little princess of the Land of the Wind prettier or is Mei Teru prettier? "
"Every man would choose the little princess."
"If your dad really wanted a woman, the little princess would not be the wife of the king. She would be your stepmother."
"No, although it's not good for my dad to be alone, if he wanted to betray my mom, he would have married someone else. Even if the Mizukage took off her clothes, he would not betray my mom. "
"So your dad has to suffer in silence. No one cares whether your dad slept with Mei Teru or not. As long as Mei Teru says that your dad slept with her, she is the woman of the Golden Flash. No man can explain this kind of thing clearly. "
"No, I can testify that my dad met her in public out of politeness." Naruto opened his mouth wide.
"Thor is really a good Ninjutsu." My Eero calmly stated another fact.
"But how can Kakashi coax my dad to not be angry about this kind of thing? I can't even open my mouth! "
"So your dad can only sulk. Of course, all of this is just my speculation. Although the information is complete and I am confident, it has not been confirmed. " My Eero calmly drank his juice. He looked at Naruto who was scratching his hair like a chicken's nest and suddenly felt that talking was a very interesting thing. He could talk more in the future.
"Coco, Coco."
"It's almost dawn. What do you want to eat for breakfast?"
"The cafeteria."
"You don't want to cook?"
Naruto put his hand under Eero's nose. "I dug the sewers all day yesterday."
"So what?"
It was better than nothing.
At this moment.
In the General Staff Office of the Old Naruto Building.
"I just came back from a business trip and I'm so tired. When can I have a good rest? " Chief of Staff Hiroyuki Yamanaka put down his pen and gently exhaled. He left the desk and rushed into the bathroom to brush his teeth. Although he didn't sleep last night, he still had to brush his teeth.
"I don't think so." Intelligence Minister Shikaku Nara, who was still sitting in front of the desk, also put down his pen. He drank water and pressed his forehead. "Although Watergate went to bed in the second half of the night, the regular meeting at 8 o 'clock will probably start on time. Didn't Itachi already inform you?"
"Isn't it you?" Hiroyuki spat out a mouthful of toothpaste foam and stuck his head out. "I'm going home to shower and sleep."
"The Intelligence Minister is only in charge of intelligence. The General Staff Office is the boss. Also, I have to go to the hospital to check the old injury on my head. Also, my wife is very unhappy that I don't go home for dinner. You don't want to see me being abused, right? "Shikaku calmly put down the water in his hand and stood up." Then I'll go first. "
But Hinata, the Logistics Minister beside him, would never agree. He reached out and pulled him back.
Shikaku sat down. "Hey, this chair is very expensive."
"Don't run." Hiashi stared at Shikaku and turned to Hiroyuki.
Shikaku looked at the serious Light Bulb Eyes and sighed. He could only pick up the cup next to him and continue drinking. "Silly people keep silly accounts. Wouldn't it be better to pretend that nothing happened once everyone is dead? "
"Don't lie to yourself." Light Bulb Eyes continued to stare. "When Kakashi comes back, we have to ask him clearly today!"
"He's back? It took him almost half an hour to bring breakfast. "Shikaku raised his hand and looked at his watch." He's also a mess. "
"But we have to ask him clearly. What's the matter with the kissing doll! What's the matter with the Mizukage! Why is Kakashi and the Four Generations not talking to each other! "Hiashi's eyes were full of blue veins.
"He's just angry with his disciple. He knows that you're loyal and want to share his burden. " Hiroyuki combed his hair and poked his head out again. "But Watergate knows what to do. When he needs us, he will naturally give the order."
"And my IQ and sixth sense tell me that Watergate doesn't want us to participate." Lu Jiu let out a long sigh. "Whatever he says is right. As a subordinate, the most important thing is to obey orders. We're not Kakashi. "
"Okay." Hiashi clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.
The discussion behind his back was like a hidden weapon.
