Konoha, without the chief of staff,
At least in the eyes of outsiders, there was no difference.
"Huff, Huff."
Konoha, the Fire Nation, Naruto's office
The sun was shining brightly outside, but he was still sleeping.
From the moment he went to work..,
Itachi heard the very indecent sound of sleeping in Naruto's lounge. Of course, it wasn't Naruto. Naruto had been spending time in the small conference room recently,
He spent an entire morning with the Minister of Intelligence every day,
Only then could he barely replace the Konoha humanoid calculator number one that used to run at high speed. Thus, Naruto's lounge became a good sleeping place for a lazy guy who often worked in the second half of the night. Anyway, as long as Naruto allowed it,
This was of course not a problem,
But..,
That annoying voice made Itachi unable to concentrate. If he couldn't concentrate,
He would make mistakes when dividing documents, and if he made mistakes, he would be criticized by another annoying guy, Huo Xuanmen.
To be honest..,
He didn't know if Huo Xuanmen was a particularly strict senior. Even if he criticized him, he was mainly reasonable. But Itachi felt even more unhappy,
So unhappy that he wanted to find a reason to fight, just like when he was in the field. But waiting for Genma to make a mistake? Perhaps he should still vent his anger on the snoring and convenience. So much so that there were several times when Itachi wanted to find an opportunity to kick into the lounge,
And then spit it out to burn the fire.
Therefore, in order to protect Naruto's bedroll..,
It should have been Itachi's job to bind documents..,
Now it was Genma's responsibility.
Naruto's lounge,
"Kacha." Huo Xuanmen opened the mechanism of the antique binding table.
Then, someone opened his eyes,
It wasn't the one who snored, but the one who snored seemed to have moved a little and stopped making a sound.
"Sorry, Shisui, I woke you up." Genma opened his mouth. "Next time, I'll remember to oil the machine before changing the nails."
"No, I think you can make a sound earlier next time." On the other side, the red-eyed Shadow Guard was still in his sleeping position. He crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, looking back silently. Then? He glanced at the source of the noise that kept him awake. It was the other man in black who was lying on Naruto's bed. He opened his mouth and said, "You're really ugly. You've even smeared your saliva on the pillow towel of the Four Generations."
"I don't think Sir would dislike him." Genma, who had already replaced the nail, continued working. He raised his head and answered the person who was dipping the brush in ink.
Shisui's eyes were red. He held a pen and walked up cautiously. Then, he decisively drew a mouth, thick lips, and two front teeth on the wet mask. "How is it?"
"I remember that he didn't look like this before," Genma leaned over to take a look, "but it's not surprising that a high-level field ninja would be disfigured."
"Interesting idea." Shisui, who was still in high spirits, took up more ink. He drew on Kakashi's face. "Don't you think that our Anbu Minister has been a bit lazy since he took office?"
"Lazy?" Genma stuffed the bound documents into the filing cabinet one by one.
"No, it's useless. As the leader of the Anbu, he's sleeping so soundly. "
"It proves that he at least trusts us. Let him sleep. Although he's much stronger than Itachi, things like documents are still too tiring for him." Genma finished nailing the documents. He couldn't help but admire the beauty of the neatness. But immediately, he picked up the rag and began to wipe the table.
"You're really diligent." Shisui finally dropped ink on Kakashi's nose. It was a fat pear-shaped hole. He carefully painted it black. "But, shouldn't you wake him up? It's time to go back to the Anbu to prepare the mission book."
"Let him sleep. I'll help him do it. Anyway, it's part of the mission book that the General Staff Department gave to the Anbu. It's also part of my authority." Genma finally put down the rag.
"Besides, I think it'll be more troublesome if he wakes up. Don't forget, who was the one who assigned the D-level mission to the male Jonin team to purchase special female hygiene products?"
"For him, that's not a mistake." Shisui also put down the pen. "Speaking of which, it's a miracle that he hasn't been shot by his subordinates."
"Anyway, I wanted to do that when I was a kid." Genma washed his hands again and winked at Shisui.
"Okay, I'll go out and teach the cub. You can continue to rest. Ah, don't forget to let Kakashi change his mask before going out. We don't care, but let's save some face for Konoha in front of the younger generation. Itachi already has enough trouble. "
Shisui nodded, looked at Kakashi lying there, sighed, and continued to lean against the wall, closed his eyes, and cheered for his training. But he immediately opened his eyes again. "Ah, Genma, by the way, pass a message to Naruto. His father probably won't be coming back tonight."
So, he will be alone tomorrow.
Naruto Uzumaki woke up alone. His father worked overtime yesterday and slept in the office. He ate alone. Kakashi didn't seem to be coming back either. He went to the gathering place alone. Eero didn't go in the same direction as him, so he did the mission alone. Today's mission was to move something from Site A to Site B. The mission item was a large flower pot and a holly tree planted in it. Although the tree was as big as Choji's father, it didn't need three people to carry it. So, Naruto, who lost the rock-paper-scissors game, could only admit defeat. He carried the tree and slowly walked behind his two teammates who were leisurely strolling on the street.
"I say, did you two take a detour?" The thing wasn't heavy, but Naruto still felt a little tired. Well, he just couldn't stand Sasuke and Sakura eating popsicles!
"No, no." Sasuke and Sakura turned around at the same time and licked their popsicles. They felt that looking at the funny Naruto the snail was especially satisfying.
Satisfying? The Force Of Human Column who was a burden to the team. If carrying a tree could make his teammates happier, then so be it. The most important thing was that he wasn't alone. It was really boring to be alone. So, Naruto decisively continued to shout, hoping to attract the attention of his friends. "Ah, ah, ah, I don't understand. Since you know that the flower pot will explode when the tree grows up, why don't you just plant it on the ground? Sasuke, let's go to the mission hall to protest later. This kind of mission lowers our IQ. "
"The employer paid you, so your service attitude should be better." Sasuke replied too quickly, so quickly that he had already forgotten his oath — to never answer Naruto's questions! But he accidentally looked back at Naruto's pitiful little eyes that were begging to chat. In the end, his heart softened and he took two steps back, parallel to Naruto. His childhood friend was really a person who would die if he didn't talk. "Why do you, a ninja, have so many whys? Little Genin, can't you just listen to orders? "
"Why are you starting again — your dad has been talking a lot recently."
"Aren't all retired old men like this?"
"Your mom has been complaining a lot recently too."
"That's true. My dad said that too."
"Huh?" Naruto found that he almost couldn't chat with Sasuke anymore, but, "My intuition tells me, Sasuke, your dad is definitely hiding something from you. Could it be — he's finally going to tell you who your biological father is!"
"Naruto Uzumaki! That's too bad! " Sasuke, who was full of regret, looked at the fragile flower pots and flammable branches, held back the fire in his mouth, took out a kunai, and went around to Naruto's back. "Naruto Uzumaki, what do you think about running a few steps? There's really no need to walk to the destination. "
Naruto felt that his hair was already standing on end. He slowly turned his body. "Sasuke ah, Sasuke, you've learned bad things. Running around with Choji's dad on your back, what if you bump into flowers and plants, it will be misunderstood as a prank. I don't care, but your dad."
"My dad is already used to me having an accident when I'm with you."
"Haha, Sasuke, you've really learned bad things."
"Apologize!"
"I'm sorry, I won't joke around anymore, please forgive my rudeness." Naruto very shamelessly bowed 90 degrees.
However, Sasuke became more alert.
"It's true, I really didn't hide anything this time."
Sasuke continued to be suspicious.
"I'm sincerely apologizing." Naruto was also a little annoyed, "If I hide something, I won't be able to eat Ichiraku Ramen for the rest of my life! If you don't believe me, Sakura can be the witness, Sakura? "
Sakura had already walked far away. She heard Naruto's shouting, but she didn't look back. Because today, she really didn't have the interest to play games with two childish boys. In any case, without her, those two were doomed to be naughty for the rest of their lives. On the contrary, she was more worried about Infield, her female friend.
Sakura felt that Yamanaka Infield was a friend to her. Although they would also fight whenever they saw each other. But the reason they fought was because of their aesthetic standards, uh, they were too in sync. Sakura looked back at Sasuke, who was still bickering with Naruto. Uchiha's second young master was still very handsome, with his black hair and bright eyes. He was cool on the training field, but silly and cute when traveling at home. He was really a good source of bestie tearing each other apart.
Cough, that wasn't the main point. The main point was that they were already big girls, and they couldn't be as childish as before. Sakura touched her face, which had never really blushed because of Sasuke ever since she found out about his true colors. She felt that it was time to reconcile with Infield. Although the spoiled little princess who cared so much about face would most likely give her a dirty look. But Sakura knew that Infield really needed her at this time. As the opponent who knew her best and a qualified medical ninja, at least she wouldn't give meaningless and cheap comfort. How could she guarantee that there would be no problems with brain surgery?
"That's right, I can't give you a 100% guarantee."
Naruto Building, small conference room.
"After all, the brain is a special organ." Yaoshi Dou put away the wall chart that he had used to explain to Naruto and the Minister of Intelligence.
In short, since it won't immediately threaten his life, I still support conservative treatment. Also, although Hiroyuki -sama claims that he doesn't have any adverse reactions, just in case, it's better for him to avoid working. "
"Then, what's Infield's opinion?" Naruto could only sigh.
"Miss Infield also agrees with my treatment plan."
"Then let Hiroyuki rest in the hospital for a while. It's been hard on him all these years. What do you think, Shikaku?"
But the Minister of Intelligence, who was obviously in a bad mood, didn't answer.
Watergate could only wave his hand and ask Dou to leave.
There was a moment of silence.
“
Sigh. The two of us will still be in the General Staff Department. Shikaku, now you can only brace yourself and promote Genma. "Naruto scratched his head.
"Originally, I wanted to move the Ministry of Finance out of the General Staff Department after moving to a new office, but it's better to wait. It's not a bad idea to wait for your son to be in the Ministry of Finance when he's older."
Shikaku still didn't say anything.
"Cheer up." Watergate wanted to pat Shikaku's shoulder, but Shikaku suddenly grabbed his hand.
"Shikaku?"
"What if conservative treatment doesn't work?"
"Yaoshi Dou is already the best medical ninja in Konoha."
"He's only twenty years old."
"This has nothing to do with age. Don't be too nervous."
"But, that Yaoshi Dou, Naruto -sama, do you dare to swear that you really trust him 100%?"
"We still have to call Tsunade back." The Intelligence Minister concluded.
"You're making trouble." Watergate broke free from Shikaku's hand. "Since the last operation, she's been gambling for eight years. Other than that, she hasn't done anything else. Forget it, since you're so insistent, I'll try to contact her tonight. "
"No, Watergate, now, right here. I know that Tsunade also has a new Thor communicator. "
This time, Watergate was silent. First, he gave Tsunade the communicator, but it didn't go through the Intelligence Department. Second, he didn't like the way Shikaku looked at him now. There was a long-lost suspicion in his eyes. But in the end, Watergate took a deep breath and took out his Thor communicator under Shikaku's somewhat strange gaze.
"Then, you must be quiet! And, you know, that's Tsunade of the Senju Clan. "
"Okay."
Finally, Watergate broadcast Tsunade's ninja number, and then quickly put it aside without waiting for the call to connect.
"Namikaze Minato, you little bastard, do you know that you made me place the wrong bet?" Konoha's Shinobi's unique angry voice could be heard in the midst of the noise of dice.
"Then you must have won a lot this time." Watergate rubbed his forehead and tried to smile. "I have something to talk to you about."
"Oh, oh, oh, little, little, little, I won! Mute, collect the money! Dinner tonight! "But that was all he said.
"Hime Tsunade? Senju Tsunade? Tsunade Shinobi? " Watergate could only call them one by one, but in the end, under Shikaku's gaze, he cleared his throat and called out. "Tsunade-nee-san ~"
"Don't drag your words, I don't know Jiraiya's whereabouts, I don't know the whereabouts of the masked man, I didn't receive any news that someone wanted to harm Konoha, I don't have money to lend you, I don't want to borrow money from you, I don't want to return to Konoha."
"Tsunade-nee-san." Watergate listened to that clean and neat sentence and felt his palms sweating. "How have you been recently? Is there really nothing I can do for you? "
"Thanks to you, I just won a big sum of money, I really don't lack money."
"Then you can take the money now and play another round."
"Haha." Tsunade finally laughed.
"While I'm in a good mood, Naruto, leader of the Four Generations of Konoha? You didn't really make Mizukage pregnant and want me to help you deal with it, right? "
"Mizukage-san is single and not pregnant, and Mei Teru and I have nothing to do with each other! Finally, please don't doubt my loyalty to Kina! And please don't always focus on strange rumors, okay? "Naruto suppressed his anger.
"As an intelligence agent, it's professional ethics to gossip." The other side was still frivolous.
"Then have you ever seen someone who only gets paid and doesn't work?!"
"That's a pension! Bo Fung Watergate, when you ask for help, you should act like a beggar. "
Watergate could only take a deep breath under Shikaku's increasingly confused gaze. "Okay, Tsunade-nee-san, I was wrong, there are too many people in the casino, can you find a quiet place?"
Tsunade didn't answer, only the sound of gold coins falling into the bag.
"Tsunade-nee-san ~"
"Shut up, it's already out, and don't drag your words, you're getting goosebumps. Where do you hurt this time?"
"It's not me, it's Hiroyuki. Hiroyuki of the Yamanaka Family. Konoha's most important Chief of Staff, the one you operated on before. "
"Oh, I remember now."
"Something grew in his brain again."
"Oh."
"Can you come back for a second?"
"No."
"Stop it, Tsunade-nee-san."
"No."
"Are you angry, Tsunade-nee-san ~"
“STOP！ Bo Fung Watergate, as an uncle who's almost 40 years old, please have some self-awareness, don't talk to me with the tone you used 20 years ago! "
"It's okay, Tsunade-nee-san, it's just a call, you can just remember me when I was a teenager."
"Bo Fung Watergate, can you have some shame?"
"If I say, Konoha Jounin Hime Tsunade, as the leader of the Four Generations, Naruto, I order you to report to me in Konoha without stopping, will you obediently come back?"
"Bah!"
"In short, I even hope that you won't leave this time. Now, Konoha's teenagers have great potential, but it's unreasonable to ask a young medical ninja to take care of everything and have a lot of experience. So, whether it's Konoha Hospital or us, we really need you. "
"…"
"Really. You know, Konoha's old and young, and our strange group of middle-aged people died or got sick, there aren't many left. Hiroyuki, although he doesn't have as many military achievements as you did back then, Konoha's good momentum is thanks to him. There are a lot of things that I can't tell you in detail, but it's really not easy to clean up Konoha to its current state. Especially with a hot-tempered Naruto like me, who always wants to solve all the problems as soon as possible. If it weren't for Hai Yi and everyone else, who were as conscientious as ever, you might have been homeless long ago. "
"It's not a big deal for a ninja to be homeless, Bo Fung Watergate."
"I know you have a knot in your heart about Konoha, Tsunade-nee-san, I can't go against my conscience and say that everything is a misunderstanding. But … "
"That's an interesting sentence." Tsunade interrupted Watergate, "Say something like that again."
"Anyway, it's time to come back and take a look. Jiraiya sensei just left, and he also felt that Konoha has changed a lot. It's really changed a lot." Watergate emphasized. "Tsunade-nee-san ~"
"Hmph, your mouth has improved a lot." Tsunade didn't comment, "But it's still not sincere enough."
"Just say what you want." Naruto was very forthright.
"Whatever? Bark like a dog first. "
"Woof woof woof."
"Okay, play dead again."
"Ah, pay for me, ugh."
"Hahaha, let me hear a few more 'unsatisfied' sounds."
"…"
"Come on."
"Mhmm."
"You won't drag it out this time."
"Mhmm ~ Mhmm ~"
"Naruto really knows how to train people." Tsunade was silent for a moment, "Prepare the money. I know you don't lack money right now."
"Okay. I know you're the best, Tsunade-nee-san. When are you coming back? I'll go to the Lord's place and get you some good wine to welcome you. "
"You can leave it to that old bastard Jiraiya."
"I have to …"
"Haha, Bo Fung Watergate, don't play dumb. What did you bet with me last time when you asked me to go back to Konoha to perform surgery on the Yamanaka Family?"
"…"
"You said that was the last time, and if you give me trouble again, you'll die a horrible death. Listen carefully, all of Konoha's Naruto will die a horrible death. One Generation, Second Generation, Third Generation, Fourth Generation, Fifth Generation, and Sixth Generation! I'm going back to Konoha to see how you'll die a horrible death … Beep. "
Bo Fung Watergate heard the other side hang up and let out a sigh of relief. He then looked awkwardly at the stunned person beside him, "Haha, Shikaku, Tsunade-senpai is actually very easy to coax, haha."
Things like face, sigh.
