Konoha, Year 59
Konoha, Land of Fire
December 29
Before New Year's Eve, Naruto Tower's frantic year-end cleaning finally ended. The insignificant Genin, the Chunin who have finished their own things, finally started the New Year's holiday mode. The atmosphere of the entire Konoha suddenly became relaxed.
Of course, this relaxation was due to the outstanding and selfless contributions of the people who worked overtime during the holidays.
Naruto Tower's General Staff Office
11 AM
"Why! Why! Why! "Konoha's Chief of Security Uchiha Fugaku covered his head with both hands and kept banging on the table.
"But I should be the one who has the most headache, Fugaku." Konoha's Chief of Intelligence Shikaku Nara also covered his head with both hands. He looked at Fugaku's forehead that didn't break no matter how much he banged on it, and he really wanted to help him. Or, if Fugaku didn't stop making noise, he would immediately send someone to tell Mikoto Uchiha that her husband wanted to treat them to a drunken night at the red-light district. She really couldn't stop him even if she wanted to!
But unfortunately, Fugaku seemed to be very sensitive to Shikaku's malice, and soon stopped complaining that had been going on for the whole morning and turned into sadness. "My poor sons, two of them, it's New Year … Ah, ah, ah ~"
So Shikaku's head hurt even more. He narrowed his eyes and began to rub his hands together.
But for the owner of this office, it was a relief to see a joke. "Okay, okay, Shikaku, you have a headache, you should rest. Also, Fugaku. You're already very lucky. At least your two sons are really happy. "
However, Fugaku was even more excited.
"But I'm not happy! That damn Bo Fung Watergate! Didn't he say that he was going to bring Naruto to National Capital? Why did you take my sons away too? Two of them? Do you think it's easy for the whole family to eat and soak in a hot spring during the New Year?! "
"Fine, fine, fine. It's not easy for you. But this was Naruto going out. Don't tell me that your son, the captain of Naruto's guard, doesn't need to go with him? " Shikaku Nara clenched his fists and continued to suppress his depression. "Do you think that with my son around, I can have a peaceful New Year with my wife and children and enjoy hot springs? Watergate's mind was like a tropical storm. It was fine if Naruto went out to play, but he had to redo all the information that he had sorted out some time ago! Start all over again! "
"Calm down. Do you think I won't do the same if you do it again?" Hiroyuki Yamanaka, the humanoid calculator, remained calm. He took the intelligence report from the intelligence department. "Don't complain. Actually, it's not that heavy of a job. It's just that time is a little tight. It's tomorrow, and the confidentiality level is high. So, the subordinates can take a break. We have to work overtime."
"But what does he mean by taking my cute youngest son with him? Besides, didn't Kakashi go with him? My eldest son has only been in office for seven days. He hasn't even recognized all the guards yet. What can he do? "
Fugaku continued to wail.
"It's your son's fault for being so handsome. One of the main purposes of Watergate's National capital every year is to rely on his handsome face to gain a good reputation. "
Hiroyuki tried to smooth things over. In fact, he couldn't stand it anymore. Uchiha Fugaku was really cold when he had a cold face. When he was shameless, he was really shameless.
Sure enough.
"Hey, I admit that my son is more handsome than me. But we are ninjas. Assassination, stealing intelligence, sowing discord, fanning the flames, being hated and used by others … This is the job of a ninja. " Fugaku suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth, and his face was full of sarcasm. "Is it necessary to use those ridiculous methods to whitewash yourself as if you are the savior of world peace?"
"Although it's a little awkward to say this." Hiroyuki Yamanaka sighed again and handed the draft to Fugaku, who had turned into an air-conditioner.
"But unfortunately, on the road to maintaining world peace, you, Uchiha, have also made an indelible contribution. History will remember you."
"But whether to choose the textbook or not is another question." The intelligence chief also handed the sorted intelligence report to Fugaku, and turned to the chief of staff and smiled. "Hiroyuki, don't waste your breath on this Uchiha. Look at his face, he looks like a schemer. How can he understand the golden flash's thoughts?"
"Hey!" Fugaku was just about to protest.
But unfortunately, Hinata, who was busy writing, had already nodded and placed the documents about logistics in front of Fugaku. "Please be more serious. Although the guards are superfluous to the Four Generations, please be more serious."
"Uh." Fugaku wanted to continue protesting, but in the end, he picked up various documents and began to work seriously. The Uchiha family was never afraid, but it was better to avoid public anger. But after a few minutes of silence, he frowned again and began to speak. "Why is Mitarashi Anko also going?"
It was Hiroyuki who answered. "The elders believe that since Watergate wants to take his son out to play, it is impossible to stop them, so they must maximize the disadvantages to their advantages. That is to say, Naruto will definitely go, and Kakashi will definitely accompany him, so they might as well send the entire Genin team. First, it will make it less obvious that Naruto is going with a team, and second, the treaty has just been signed, so the National capital masters are not confident. Watergate dares to take his son with him, so they won't be nervous. "
"Well, although I still think that at least my son really doesn't need to go." Fugaku shook his head. "But what does this have to do with Anko?"
"To collect information." The Intelligence Minister replied with a glare.
"But isn't it always a beautiful Genjutsu Ninja sent to seduce the male guests every year?"
It was Hiroyuki who answered. "Originally, it was Sunset Glow Jonin, but Watergate said that Asuma is pursuing Red. Later, I thought about it, and it's not good to let a Genjutsu do this kind of mission."
"Anyway, for the Intelligence Department, what we need is a target to attract attention." Shikaku added. "It's not her who does the work, it's a Genjutsu."
"But it shouldn't be Anko."
After all, Fugaku still remembered that Naruto was part of the security department in National capital. "At this juncture. That woman has defected, and it seems that she's going to do something recently. She's the only disciple Orochimaru -senpai left in Konoha. How can we just put her beside Watergate? What are you thinking, Hiroyuki Yamanaka? "
"Because there are many Genjutsu who want to do this mission, and all of them meet the requirements, so to be fair, Watergate proposed to draw lots."
"Watergate proposed, and she got it." Fugaku sighed.
"Yeah." Shikaku answered for Hiroyuki, with an expression that said whether you believe it or not, I believe it. "In short, it's not worthwhile to underestimate Watergate … and the charm of Kakashi and your son standing together. If we don't draw lots, those Genjutsu will really fight. Genjutsu are still women at the National capital ball. Wearing beautiful dresses and beautiful jewelry to dance, and a job with a bonus is something that men like us can never understand. "
"…"
"So let's change the topic. I was scolded to death by my daughter yesterday." Hiroyuki Yamanaka restrained his desire to bang his head on the table with both hands. "Infield -sama asked why Sakura, that ugly girl with a wide forehead, can go to the ball, but I, Yamanaka Infield, can't? She's probably tearing pillows at home and reminding me to bring a gift home to coax my little princess. "
"…" Fugaku's face darkened. "You spoil your child too much."
"The biggest child-lover in Konoha is Bo Fung Watergate." Hiroyuki Yamanaka rolled his eyes.
"Really." Fugaku also rolled his eyes. "Naruto, this child, has to make such a request at this time. He's as hard to please as his father. If anyone chooses Naruto as the fifth generation in the future, I, Uchiha, will be the first to disagree."
"Your son is not easy to please either." Shikaku looked at Fugaku and sneered. "I think Naruto is really good. He's much better than Kakashi. At least he's smart enough to know that Watergate can't refuse his request. Sigh, that child found a good opportunity. If he misses this chance, he may not be able to go out with Watergate in the future. "
"Okay." The silent Hyuga Hiashi pretended that he didn't hear the undercurrent in the gossip of his colleagues at all, and he couldn't help but speak again. "Everyone, please work hard, Uchiha. If there are no security problems in my logistics department, please sign the contract as soon as possible."
"Hmph, you just don't have a tacit understanding." Fugaku finally lowered his head and continued, but he still had to say what he wanted to say. "In fact, Watergate is only 37. If his son is not good enough, he still has a grandson. If his grandson is not good enough, he may have a son one day."
There was an awkward silence.
"Think about it. Watergate is less than 40 years old. Vortex Kenai has been dead for 12 years. Plus, there are many women who want to climb into Watergate's bed. Just his own Black Ops alone is enough." Fugaku seemed to be serious. "And he has been working hard to solve problems in a less violent way. For example, the Land of the Wind in the Land of Fire. In fact, the simplest way is for him to marry a princess who has the right to inherit the Land of the Wind or the Land of Fire and have a son. Everything will be solved, right, Hinata? "
Hinata narrowed her eyes and stared at Fugaku with Hiroyuki and Shikaku without saying a word.
"This is good for Konoha, Watergate and all of us." Fugaku felt uncomfortable being stared at. He smiled awkwardly and silently handed over the signed document.
"Let's change the topic." Hiroyuki looked at the colder atmosphere and had to say something. "I'm very curious. We all know that Naruto is like a powder keg with a leaking fuse. Why did the Council of Elders let it go so easily this time?"
"Yes." Shikaku also played along. "Let me be curious. You were there at the time, right, Fugaku?"
"I didn't leave." Fugaku's face was unnatural, but he still decided to set the time back to yesterday afternoon.
Konoha 59 Konoha in the Land of Fire
December 28
3: 20 p.m.
Uchiha Fugaku had just sent Sandaime, Xiaochun, and Mito Pyloritis to the side door of Naruto's building when Naruto Uzumaki came over with an empty garbage can and a broom.
"Hello, Grandpa Sandaime!" Naruto was very energetic. "Hello, everyone!"
Sandaime smiled and returned the greeting. "Little Naruto, why haven't you come to my house to play with Konoha Maru recently?"
"Grandpa Sandaime, I'm now a Genin." Naruto's expression was as if he wanted to be praised.
Sandaime rubbed Naruto's soft golden hair. "This year's New Year's Eve, your father is still going to visit the king. How about you and I celebrate the New Year together? Konoha Maru misses you a lot. Since you're a Genin, I can teach you the Crystal Ball Technique. Haven't you always wanted to learn? Don't tell your father when he's not here. "
Naruto's eyes shone and grabbed Sandaime's sleeve. "Are you really going to teach me?"
"Really. When have I ever lied to little Naruto? "Sandaime looked at Naruto with doting eyes." Come? "
Naruto hesitated for a few seconds and then shook his head. "But not this year, Grandpa Sandaime. My father is taking me to National Capital."
"What's so good about National Capital? In the future, when you go on missions, you can play all over the world. Besides, your father is going there for work, don't give him trouble. "Sandaime insisted.
"But …" Naruto pursed his lips. "I haven't even gone out with my father once."
"Naruto has his own responsibilities. As Naruto's child, it's your responsibility not to disturb your father's work. You see, Asuma and I haven't gone out together before. "Sandaime looked at Naruto seriously.
Naruto let go of Sandaime's sleeve and turned his face to the side. "That's why Uncle Asuma doesn't want to go home to celebrate the New Year with you."
…
Hiashi sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Cough." Hiroyuki Yamanaka choked on his saliva and coughed repeatedly.
Shikaku Nara's face was full of disbelief. "Naruto really said that? This kid is really something. How did Watergate react? "
"Haha, you didn't see the expressions on Sandaime and Watergate's faces at that time … It was indescribable." Uchiha Fugaku sighed.
"And then?" Shikaku asked.
"Then Mito Pyloritis whispered something to Sandaime, and Sandaime changed his mind." Fugaku continued to sigh. "Don't worry about them. Let's get back to work. Before Watergate leaves tomorrow morning, our duty is to prepare what he needs."
What was Bo Fung Watergate doing at this time?
He was also writing and drawing in his office, but unfortunately, it had nothing to do with the documents.
He held a map in his hand and had already made his plans. They would split into two groups. Some of the secret guards would follow the convoy to the capital, while he and the children would not take a direct route. They would first take a detour to a small commercial town in the northeast. In the morning, all of them stretched their bodies. Using Sakura's speed as the standard, they would arrive in about two hours. Anko said that the meatballs there were very special. After having lunch there, they slowly turned back to the southeast. Kakashi said that there was a small canyon with good scenery. There was a lake in the canyon, and now it was just the right time to ice skate and fish. After eating grilled fish, it was already dark. His convoy and guards would arrive at the National Capital. He would then gather his people at Thor. After resting for half an hour, they would arrange their respective tasks. It was just nice that they didn't have to attend the dinner party that made their stomachache. They could go straight to the ball …
Sure enough, with enough determination, no matter how difficult it was, it was not difficult.
…
December 29, Year 59, Konoha. Sunny.
Uchiha Fugaku actually heard Mito Pyloritis whispering to Sandaime. "If the Force Of Human Column goes berserk, Bo Fung Watergate can still deal with it. But if Bo Fung Watergate goes berserk, where are you going to find another Four Generations?
