It was still that night with the big moon.
He didn't know that Huo Xuanmen had handed over Naruto to Uchiha Shisui on duty,
He walked out of the Naruto building. It was already late at night,
But it could still be considered the first half of the night in Konoha. There weren't many pedestrians on the Konoha road in the first half of the night,
For ordinary people, it was a little scary quiet, but for ninjas, it could be considered lively. The ninja and ninja who had been working during the day could finally meet quietly in a corner like wild cats.
Genma sighed,
He tried his best to ignore the pair of ears rubbing against each other in the corner,
The two on the roof were kissing each other. Even though the fire in his heart was already burning,
He absolutely couldn't... climb through the dog hole,
Out of Konoha,
To Flower Street.
"Calm down. You can go to Flower Street or whatever at any time, so why do you have to be so busy now? You've already worked all day,
You still have to work with the wheels of the car tomorrow, so if you don't go home in the middle of the night now, are you worthy of the rest time that everyone has set aside for you? "Genma muttered to himself as he pinched his thigh fiercely, stopping the wild thoughts in his mind. But the body was always more honest than the mind,
This healthy and energetic young man in his twenties was really not sleepy anymore.
Maybe he could go back to work? Genma stopped in his tracks and carefully felt the condition of his body. He made a rational judgment. Processing documents did not consume much physical strength of a ninja, and the spirit consumed could not only be recovered by a good sleep. For example, he had just..,
But after thinking about it for a moment, he instantly hid the things that the people liked to see and hear.
In short..,
Huo Xuanmen immediately returned to Naruto's office.
Naruto's office was dark and desolate,
But there was a small white light in the lounge.
"Why are you back?" The red-eyed Shadow Guard in front of the small coffee table gave the guy who had left and returned a sharp look,
Then he lowered his head and continued to write under the light of the table lamp.
"I just walked a few steps and I'm not sleepy anymore," Genma opened his mouth and walked forward to look at Naruto who was sleeping on the bed. Naruto frowned and rolled up the thin blanket. Genma blinked and said, "Turn up the temperature of the air conditioner."
The Red-eyed Shadow Guard nodded and pressed the remote control.
On the other hand, Xuan Jiu opened the door a little to let some fresh air into this small windowless space.
"Help me see what Kakashi wrote." The Red-eyed Shadow Guard waved at Genma.
Genma gently moved a small folding stool to the other side of the tea table. He leaned over to take a look and shook his head.
The Shadow Guard sighed and continued to lower his head.
Genma also picked up a report, pulled out a piece of draft paper, and began to calculate.
The tip of the pen scratched.
"Help me see what Kakashi wrote." The Red-eyed Shadow Guard resisted the urge to throw the pencil this time and handed a piece of paper to Genma to point at.
Genma looked around and finally looked at the other side and shook his head. It seemed that no one other than Kakashi could be the head of the Dark Department in the future. "Let's ask him tomorrow."
"Okay." The Red-eyed Shadow Guard clenched his teeth and his expression cracked a little. He suddenly realized that when Naruto asked him to temporarily replace Kakashi for a few days yesterday, he had agreed too early. Yes, the job of the Dark Department was like drinking water and eating food for him, but the premise was that it wasn't like that bastard Kakashi did half of it!
Genma looked at the miserable face of the person opposite him and couldn't help but wave his hand and cover his mouth to stop himself from laughing. To be honest, even though he wasn't familiar with Uchiha Shisui, they had known each other for a long time. From school to the battlefield, from a living person to a nameless dead person, he had never seen his senior, who was only one or two years older than him, so … He thought that the Uchiha Clan wouldn't have any other expression apart from calmness. Now that he thought about it, he was actually looking forward to seeing the Instant Shisui and Konoha Ninja fighting each other. That would be a good overtime benefit.
"Laugh if you want." Shisui frowned. "I can tell from your expression that you're hiding something bad. Can't you just be open about it for once? "
"I didn't mean to offend anyone."
"Not anyone else. Konoha Ninjas are a group, and we're all people who have our backs on the battlefield. You can't promise that you'll never have no friction with everyone, and I can't promise that I won't be angry at anything you say or do. But as long as you don't have any bad intentions, and you can sincerely apologize afterward, I think everyone can forgive you. "
"Eh?" Genma was stunned by Shisui's words. He suddenly felt that always watching Naruto sleep during the night shift and not having anyone to talk to for a long time might really have a major impact on Shisui's way of thinking. But maybe this person just wanted to be funny, or maybe he just wanted to find something to talk about because he was tired of reading the documents?
"You're really not frank." Shisui sighed softly and closed all the documents that had passed through Kakashi's hands. He decided to skip over to deal with a new problem. "Well, Four Generations -sama asked me to give you some advice."
Genma looked at Naruto, who was still sleeping, and frowned again.
Shisui lightly tapped on the document. "Do you know why you're always rejected by the little monsters with votes? Naruto's original words were 'You always think too much.' But I'm actually not that familiar with you, so I'll be honest with you. I think it's more appropriate to use the word 'scheming' to describe you. You're indeed smart and capable. But no one could do it to everyone's satisfaction. Even a three-man team can have different opinions, and it's even more impossible to manage a village. Think about it, what is it about the Yellow Flash that makes you and I willing to die for him? Why can't Shimura Danzo, who is also loyal to Konoha? It's not like you haven't worked with Danzō -sama before. Can you really go against your conscience and say that he doesn't have the ability to bring a better future to Konoha? "
Genma was silent, he picked up the report and continued to calculate. Shisui was the same.
After an unknown amount of time, Naruto, who was supposed to be sleeping, suddenly stood up and left.
Shisui put down his pen and immediately followed, he didn't forget to take the tactical vest and Naruto's cloak from Genma.
Konoha Gate, Outside
1: 01 AM.
"Do you think I want to go through this gate?! Bah! "
The wind blew through large swaths of trees, making a rustling sound. In this sound that represented silence, a woman's angry roar finally triggered an emergency assembly order from Konoha's security system. Within a few seconds, small animal masks appeared in groups of twos and threes, and at the same time, white weapons of various colors were placed in front of them.
A battle was about to break out.
But how could the peace-loving leader of the Four Generations, Naruto, allow such an illegal fight to happen at Konoha's gate? Especially internal strife, Konoha's biggest taboo.
"Tsunade-nee-san, I thought you would sleep in the neighboring town for a night before returning to Konoha. Why are you causing trouble here in the middle of the night?" The leader of the Four Generations — Disheveled — Naruto -sama tightly grabbed the woman's fist that was about to hit Konoha's gate with one hand, and tried to straighten out his wrinkled collar with the other.
"You're so full of yourself." Tsunade continued to exert force.
"Then you should at least let me know what's going on first." Naruto continued to pull, and at the same time, he received information from the eyes of the people around him. "You were stopped? Sorry, sorry, Konoha has a stricter security system now, and these children probably don't know you. You should know that with their age, they don't remember much when you left Konoha. Of course, as Princess Tsunade of Konoha, you can come back whenever you want. I didn't expect you to come in the middle of the night on a whim. Now that I think about it, it's normal for you to be angry. But if we want to exercise, can we go further away? Don't bicker with a few children here. "
Tsunade snorted coldly, broke free, glared at him, and threw another punch.
Naruto could only do his best to stop her. "Don't be angry, it's just a small misunderstanding. Actually, you're not really angry. Otherwise, how could I stop you so easily? And those kids over there, if you really did punch them, they wouldn't be so unscathed. "
"Wouldn't it be a waste of my Chakra if I hurt them?"
"Yes, yes, Tsunade-nee-san's medical skills are superb, and she loves the younger generation the most. But it's troublesome to repair the gate."
"That's your trouble, not mine. You don't lack the money to repair the gate."
"But it'll be embarrassing."
"It won't embarrass me."
"Then it's okay to embarrass Konoha?"
"It's okay, Konoha already has enough jokes."
"Are you talking about yourself?"
"I'm obviously talking about you."
"Okay, okay, okay, it's me, it's me." Our sleepy Naruto finally smelled the alcohol on Tsunade's body. He felt like a joke, trying to reason with a drunk woman.
…
"Forget it, you can try." Naruto endured his headache, then took the vest and cloak that the red-eyed Shadow Guard handed to him and put it on. In the moonlight, there were five large red words on the cloak.
"The Fourth Hokage" was fluttering in the wind.
"Then I won't be polite." The drunk woman counted with her fingers.
"After you." Naruto stepped aside, then slowly spoke into the darkness. "Trespassing into Konoha and attempting to attack Konoha's defense system is a matter of life and death. It's fine if your master is drunk, but you're also drinking with her? Mute Kato Jounin. "
The wind whistled.
This time, Tsunade stopped moving. It wasn't that the drunk woman admitted defeat, but Mute Kato, who was covered in cold sweat, finally realized what her master was doing. She gave the explosive woman a tranquilizer needle. "Mute Kato Jounin Naruto Naruto -sama of the Four Generations. Our Tsunade-sama hasn't been back for a long time, so she drank a few more glasses. Please understand, she definitely didn't do it on purpose."
But Tsunade didn't appreciate it. The needle didn't have much effect on her. "I didn't drink. I did it on purpose. Bo Fung Watergate, what do you want to do to me? Life and death? Let's fight if you dare. "
"Ah, Bo Fung -sama, Tsunade-sama was just joking. Yes, she likes to joke when she's drunk." Mute immediately added another needle. She suddenly felt a little scared. She looked at the Konoha Anbu who were already emitting invisible murderous intent, and then looked at Naruto who was expressionless. She reiterated again, "This is Princess Tsunade of the Senju family, the granddaughter of the first and second generations. There's no need to … She's really just joking when she's drunk."
"Okay, then I'm also joking this time." Naruto finally smiled, turned around, and swept his gaze from left to right. "You boys, look carefully. The young girl who just spoke to me is one of Kakashi's rumored girlfriends, Mute Kato Jounin. She has excellent medical skills, a strong sense of responsibility, and is single. If you're interested in flirting with Kakashi, you can give it a try. "
And so, Naruto's dry joke once again had the desired effect. After a few seconds of silence, Konoha's gate returned to silence.
"I'm, I'm sorry." Mute was even more frightened. "Also, Four Generations -sama, long time no see."
"Yeah, long time no see." Naruto blinked and comforted the frightened woman with his voice. "But where do you plan to sleep today? I suggest going to Konoha Hospital. After all, you know more people there. Of course, going back to the Senju family is also a good idea, but they're probably as unprepared as I am. Why don't you go back to Hatake's old house with me first? Kakashi's house actually has quite a lot of rooms. "
"No, no need to trouble yourself, Sama."
"Don't be so polite. Since you're already back … Ah, by the way, Mute's dorm is still the same as when you left. Kakashi regularly asks people to clean it for you. If you want to eat. " Naruto pointed to a tall building shining with white light in the distance. "That's the new Naruto Hall. It's still under construction. There's a cafeteria next to it that's open 24 hours a day. Although there are temporary meal cards for guests, I think it's better for you to go to the General Staff Headquarters tomorrow to get your own. There's a monthly food allowance in there. There's also a salary card and a medical guarantee card. In addition to the mission fee, some basic salaries and allowances are now in these two cards. You haven't used them yet, right? If you calculate it, it's not a small amount of income. There's also the latest version of the "Konoha Safety Regulations". You have to memorize it. I know Tsunade won't read it carefully, so I can only rely on you. Okay, I'm done. You guys hurry up and find a place to rest. I also have to go back to sleep. It's the middle of the night. "
"Yes, Sama." Listening to Hokage's nagging and complaints, Shizune suddenly felt that she wasn't afraid anymore. Instead, she felt a sense of familiarity as a ninja of Konoha that she hadn't felt for a long time. It was a good feeling. "Then I'll take Tsunade-sama back to my dorm first."
"Well, go back. If you have any questions, just ask any Anbu on duty on the street."
"Yes, Sama."
"Phew." Naruto watched Mute and Tsunade leave and finally felt relieved. He waved to his guard captain. "You go back to the office first. I don't seem to be done here."
"Yes, Sama." Shisui glanced at the Sandaime Sarutobi, who had half of his figure, and signaled the other members of Naruto's guard to stay away and continue to wait for orders. Then Thor flashed by.
"Watergate, Tsunade is back." The old Naruto walked out with his hands behind his back. "Is that child drunk?"
"She's very drunk." The young Naruto rubbed his eyes, but he felt that his eyeballs were even drier. "But the good news is, except for Jiraiya -sensei, there shouldn't be any other man who likes her."
"This is good news?" The old Naruto suddenly found that his junior was willing to joke with him today.
"Of course, it proves that she still has someone who loves her."
"Uh." The old Naruto once again felt that his junior was choking him.
"But, Sandaime sama, what exactly do you want?" The young Naruto seemed to choke even more. "I thought you would always have something important to tell me."
"Oh." The old Naruto felt that he was a little angry. "Don't you have something to report to me?"
"It's obvious." The young Naruto immediately wanted to leave. "If you want to feel the cold wind in front of Konoha's gate, then feel free to do so."
"Child, you're getting more and more impatient." The old Naruto frowned. He felt that he could hardly connect the blonde young man in front of him with the previous one, just like his disciple, Tsunade Senju.
"Then tell me." The sleepy young Naruto struggled to keep his eyelids open.
The old Naruto paused for a moment. "Tsunade, how has she been these years?"
"How am I supposed to know? If you really want to know, why don't you just ask her tomorrow? Or you can ask Mute, or you can ask Shikaku for historical information and analyze it yourself. "The young Naruto was also a little angry.
"Tsunade came back to perform surgery on Hiroyuki?" The old Naruto calmed down.
"Of course." The young Naruto felt that he was getting more and more irritated. He wanted to sleep. "Otherwise, who would think of her?"
"Can you help me keep her?" The old Hokage automatically filtered out the elements he didn't like to hear from the current Hokage. His voice was serious and serious. "Keep her, Konoha really needs her now."
The current Naruto became a little more serious. "Personally, I admire Mute more. This time, I will definitely keep her. But Tsunade? Everyone says that Hime Tsunade is a medical expert. I admit that. But look at what she's done all these years. She's drunk and gambled. She's just short of prostituting herself. No, she's been a prostitute. She's hugged the girl for a few days without doing anything. Don't tell me you don't know what the girls in that place rely on to support their families. They also need to eat. Yes, the scariest thing is that she often runs away in debt. It doesn't matter if she runs away, but why do you think that creditors can't come to her home, Konoha, to collect debts? It doesn't matter if she likes to eat and drink. As an elder who has made meritorious contributions to Konoha, she should be grateful that they give her more pension so that she can live a happier life. But she still gambled and ran away. Do you know how much money she gambled? The Senju family doesn't care about her anymore. Konoha can't spare money to pay off her gambling debts. Even now, they don't have any money! "
"She can treat patients, save people, and do missions."
"Then you should go and investigate. The number of people she's saved over the years can be counted on one hand, and all of them were performed by Mute. Ah, including Hiroyuki's surgery eight years ago. " The current Naruto smiled. "Moreover, whether it's medical skills or medical ninjas, Konoha's young people will grow up. Even without her, Konoha Hospital provided them with enough cases to make them mature quickly."
"About that." The old Naruto had to admit that if Konoha Hospital had Tsunade all these years, perhaps Konoha wouldn't be so short of talents. "I'm really sorry."
"You don't have to apologize for her. This isn't the responsibility of a teacher. She lost her forehead protector and dignity. There's no other excuse." The young Naruto suddenly felt even more tired. "That's it. I really have to go back to sleep now."
"Okay." The old Naruto had never felt so powerless before. He felt even more powerless than when he saw Orochimaru die in front of him.
It's a little sad when powerlessness isn't an excuse.
… …..
June 16, 1961, Konoha, 1: 30 in the morning. The wind is strong.
This was the first time Bo Fung Watergate made a mistake after completing the development of the Thor technique. He wanted to go to Naruto's lounge, but he fell directly on Naruto's bedsheet. Fortunately, our Naruto was good at fighting. He rolled to the side to make room for his father. "Dad, you scared me. Are you practicing a sneak attack?"
But our Hokage didn't answer. He glanced at the boy who wasn't someone else's son, so he rubbed the sheets and found a good position to sleep.
