September 15th, 61 years of Konoha.
Five o'clock in the morning.
He still didn't see any difference from the other days.
Konoha, the Land of Fire.
Hatake's old house.
Kakashi finally finished his seventeen-hour work.
Facing the dew, he went home. He was now standing in front of his house. The tired street lamp by the door was desperately lit.
However, under the setting of the full moon and the dawn of dawn, it was still very dark. This made Kakashi even more annoyed when he looked at his door.
But the door of Hatake's old house had never been changed. They were two large wooden boards that were painted darker than black.
And they were the same as some assassination tools.
Miraculously, they did not reflect light. So much so that..,
Whether it was day or night..,
Looking from afar.
It was like a man-made rectangular cave, deep and serene.
It seemed to be full of smelly beasts. It could be bats, black bears, tigers, and leopards.
It was more likely to be a pack of white-haired jackals with blood-red gums and mouths full of bloody white canine teeth.
"Don't always pretend to be a ghost to scare the guards, okay?" Two red lights suddenly flashed above the dark door.
"It'll be over soon." Kakashi took a few deep puffs and reluctantly put out the cigarette butt in his hand. As usual, he stuffed it into the drainage pipe and entered the yard.
Uchiha Shisui, who had already jumped off the roof, stood straight like a pole at the door.
"Next time you come back,
Can you take the initiative to give the staff on duty a secret signal?
Minister An,
Even though this is your house. "
"Sorry, I'm used to it." Kakashi yawned.
"Is there anything unusual to report?"
"No." The black pole also stretched and moved. "Why did you come back so late today? Did anything happen?"
"All kinds of trivial matters." Kakashi walked around the black pole, and at the same time, his stomach made a rumbling sound.
"I'll send someone to the cafeteria to get you something to eat."
"No need. Naruto will be up in a while." Kakashi walked into the small dining room and opened the refrigerator. "I'll get some first."
"But Lord Naruto didn't purchase any food yesterday." Shisui looked at the empty fridge and then looked at Kakashi, who had suddenly bent over like a bean sprout, and said sympathetically, "I still have two Canteen Soldier Food Pills with me."
Obviously, Kakashi didn't like his colleague's suggestion at all. He started rummaging through the cabinets. "I remember there are still some soda biscuits."
"If you're talking about the ones in yellow packaging, Naruto took Naruto out for dinner yesterday, so I, Eero, ate the biscuits." Shisui stretched out his hand. He felt that he should stop Kakashi from being so useless. There weren't many snacks that could escape the nose of the hungry red panda.
However, Kakashi still took out half a bag of rice crust from the cupboard and put it in his mouth to taste.
Shisui glanced at the soft and crumpled things in Kakashi's hands and couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure they're still edible?"
"They're okay." Kakashi stopped chewing and picked up a piece to observe carefully. In the end, he crushed the bag and the rice crust into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
"Are you okay?" Shisui looked at Kakashi, who didn't know whether to swallow or spit out, and felt even more sympathy.
"I'm okay." Kakashi finally gritted his teeth and swallowed the strange-tasting rice crust. "You said that Sensei and Naruto went out to eat again last night. Was it fun?"
"What else could it be?"
"Then they shouldn't have brought back nothing." Kakashi was unwilling to give up.
"Ahem, the octopus and roasted sweet potatoes were actually Lord's supper for you, but …" Shisui wanted to laugh, "Lord Naruto was hungry after his bath yesterday, and you didn't come back, so …"
"I'm not talking about supper." Kakashi, whose thoughts were exposed, was a little embarrassed. "I'm talking about why they didn't bring back breakfast. Did they really want to eat in the cafeteria today?"
"I'm not sure about that." Shisui looked innocent. "But when Eero woke up in the middle of the night to look for food, he said that he thought it was good to eat in the cafeteria early in the morning, so we don't have to worry about him for breakfast in the future."
"He's getting better and better." Kakashi turned and walked out of the small cafeteria. He looked at his watch and waved to Shisui. "Then we'll all eat in the cafeteria this morning. Ask for a nutritious meal for Naruto -sama, and let Naruto decide for himself. It's already five o 'clock, so he should be up by now."
Of course, when Naruto Uzumaki opened his eyes, it was indeed five o 'clock sharp.
But waking up didn't mean that he had to get out of bed. Anyway, Naruto rubbed his face against his father's arm, which his head had been pressed against for the whole night, and closed his eyes again. He actually didn't sleep enough, probably because he chatted with his father until late last night. Today, he just wanted to sleep in his father's arms like this. After working so hard for so long, it didn't matter if he occasionally slacked off and didn't go for morning exercises, right, dad?
Watergate Daddy answered his son's question with actions. Naruto, who was originally sleeping in a "big" shape, folded his body into a "bu" shape and wrapped his son up like a dumpling.
Naruto felt even more at ease and snuggled into his father's arms again. The morning in Konoha in the middle of September was already a little chilly, which made Naruto feel even more warm in his father's arms. It was so comfortable that he felt like he was sleeping under a big quilt in the winter. His father also smelled good. His white sweatshirt emitted a faint smell of detergent, the type that smelled like jasmine. Of course, Naruto also liked the smell of his father who was too lazy to wash his feet and went to bed without taking off his clothes. At first, it was a little sour and sweaty, but in the morning, it would become a little smelly … Ah, what a charming man. Indeed, a father and son who even smelled the same smelly socks were the real father and son!
Although it felt weird.
Naruto thought that Naruto Uzumaki might really be a little monster, even if that guy called Nine Tails was not in his body. Because as far as he knew, other children would not be so thick-skinned as to hold hands with their fathers on the street at the age of 14, nor would they cling to their fathers to sleep whenever they had the chance, nor would they sniff their fathers' socks like puppies.
But, so what if they liked to smell it? At least from Naruto's 14 years of life experience, when the Four Generations, who had always been concerned about their image, Naruto's golden flash did not have to care about his image, it meant that his father, poor Mr. Bo Fung Watergate, could finally have a good night's sleep at home. If he was lucky, he could even play with his son for a long time after he woke up.
Thinking of this, Naruto could not help but rub his father's arm again. His father, in recent years, had rarely accompanied him to run and roll on the lawn. It seemed that he had not seen him in the morning for a year or two. Naruto still remembered that in the years before he was required to wake up early, he would rub his eyes and climb out of bed in the morning to watch his father kick Kakashi in the backyard. It was really refreshing.
"Since you're awake, don't stay in teacher's arms, okay?"
Naruto opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw Kakashi squatting on the ground like a poop, staring at him with the gray eyes of a mouse. "What are you looking at?"
"Looking at an ugly monster." Kakashi sighed softly. "Fourteen years old is not young anymore, but you're still hugging your father to sleep. I'm really embarrassed for you."
"What's wrong with my son hugging his father to sleep? Haven't we been sleeping like this since we were young? "
Kakashi looked at Naruto's angry and indignant expression and really wanted to pull this damn child out of his teacher's arms. "I told you, your father hasn't been sleeping well recently. Don't disturb him."
"But my father clearly sleeps very well when he's sleeping with me. If you don't believe me, look."
Naruto reached out and poked his father's soft belly. "He's in a 100% deep sleep, so he won't wake up without an alarm."
"Okay." Seeing this, Kakashi could only admit once again that biological children were indeed different. "Let me tell you, the whole family will be eating in the cafeteria this morning. I ordered a nutritious meal for your father. What do you want to eat?"
"Yichuan."
"Can you understand human language? Cafeteria."
"Aiya, whatever." Naruto suddenly became impatient. "You're so annoying. I told dad to sleep well, but you're always in the cafeteria. All you know is the cafeteria. Dad and I don't cook, so can't Kakashi make breakfast for everyone! "
Kakashi just wanted to look up at the sky and sigh. "I dare to cook, but do you dare to eat? More importantly, there's nothing in the fridge. "
There was a moment of silence.
"Haha, it did seem like it was my turn to buy groceries yesterday. Haha, I was going to buy groceries after eating Yichuan." Naruto laughed dryly.
Kakashi sighed again. "Next time you forget to inform me before you do. You can't order the market to open early in the morning just for a few vegetables."
"But the food in the cafeteria is really disgusting." Naruto glanced at his father who was still sleeping soundly. "Especially the nutritious meals."
"You've been eating them since you were a child. Now you should eat more!"
"See, you also think it's disgusting." Naruto sighed and let go of his father's arm. He sat up and gently jumped off the bed. "Forget it, I'll go to Konoha's cafeteria to get some food from an acquaintance."
"You've been hanging out with those old guys lately." Under Naruto's disdainful gaze, Kakashi watched him get dressed and wash his face. He watched him cover his teacher with a blanket. He watched him leave just like that. Then Kakashi yawned. Looking at the bright sky outside, he decided to catch up on some sleep before breakfast. So he took off his coat and looked at the place where Naruto had just slept and the small sofa next to it. In the end, he sat on the sofa and propped his head up.
The second hand ticked. It was just a little past 8 o 'clock.
"Kakashi, why didn't you wake me up on time again?" Naruto, who had a good breakfast with his son and disciple in a daze, finally realized that he was late for work again.
"Because I fell asleep too." Kakashi comforted him. "Don't worry, Sensei. You don't have a meeting scheduled for the whole morning."
"I don't have a meeting, but I do!"
"Meeting, drinking tea, and waiting for Naruto who's busy. Isn't it normal for him to have a meeting?" Kakashi helped his teacher tidy up his hair and forehead protector. He glanced at Naruto who was cleaning up the dishes.
"Why are you looking at my son?" Naruto waved away his disciple's hand that was about to help him tidy up his collar. "Naruto indeed didn't wake us up on time. But in this little genin's schedule, there's no such thing as waking up Naruto. And Kakashi, cleaning the kitchen and washing the dishes is your job. "
"Yes, yes, it's mine." Kakashi turned around and gritted his teeth at the little golden hedgehog. "Naruto, hurry up and wipe your hands and change your clothes. Your dad is going to take you directly to Naruto's building. Leave the rest to me!"
"Then please." Naruto was still polite in front of his father. He wiped his hands on the cloth, picked up his ninja bag and put on his shoes. But his father grabbed his hand. Then, with a familiar golden light, he was in the middle of Sasuke and Yamato -sensei's respectful greetings.
Naruto's building.
Mission Hall.
"Well, young master Naruto, your father has left. Can you quietly return to being a cute little genin?" Sasuke rubbed his hands together.
"What, the second son of Uchiha's family, are you jealous?" Naruto also cracked his neck.
However, Yamato -sensei, who had always been steady, wouldn't let his team become the focus of the crowd again. He pressed each of their heads with one hand and said, "You two, I have to go to another mission gathering place in a while. Hurry up and choose your mission. It doesn't matter if I'm a little late. The good missions will be taken by other teams, and you can only continue to clean up the mud in the sewer."
"Okay, okay, the Konoha Logistics Department that lacks strong labor." Sasuke muttered and stretched out his fist.
"And the Konoha Hospital that lacks female medical ninjas." Naruto complained and also stretched out his fist. "In fact, it's useless to be the first to choose. The team of medical ninjas and female ninjas will be borrowed. Anyway, they won't get any good jobs."
"Don't talk nonsense." Yamato felt that his fingertips were about to grow leaves.
But the two genin still didn't panic. Slowly, fist against fist, cloth against cloth, scissors against scissors. Finally, today's winner was Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke walked to the Genin's mission area, still leisurely looking through the mission list until a few seconds before Yamato was about to kick his butt, he copied the mission number and came back.
Well, Konoha Genin's boring daily life is about to start again.
On the other side, Konoha Naruto's boring daily life was also going on.
Naruto's building.
Naruto's office.
Lounge.
Uchiha Fugaku sat on Naruto's small sofa and rubbed his shoulders.
"Oh, something came up in the morning. I'm sorry to make you wait for so long." Naruto personally served tea for the former head of the security department who stood at the door of the office for at least 20 minutes.
"You didn't fall asleep again, did you?" Fugaku narrowed his eyes and doubted Naruto's unusual enthusiasm. "You always claim to be thorough in everything."
"Well, I really have something to do. I thought Itachi would let you wait for me in the lounge. " Naruto persuaded him to drink tea. "But I forgot that Itachi worked overtime last night and will be at home this morning to catch up on sleep."
"Then you might as well admit that you fell asleep." Fugaku sighed and drank Naruto's tea. "Oh, you really added ginseng, good stuff. You just said that Kakashi got a lot for you? "
"Yes, do you want to take some back?" Naruto, who had forgotten about his son and stood his father up, was even more enthusiastic. First, he was indeed a little apologetic. Second, he didn't want to drink this bitter and sour stuff every day.
"Then it would be impolite to refuse." Fugaku, of course, didn't hold back at all. After all, he, a cripple, had to be compensated for standing for so long. Moreover, even if he was the head of the Uchiha family in Konoha, he couldn't get something from the King's Residence as easily as Naruto.
Watergate saw that Fugaku really wanted it, so he quickly took out a large document, poured out the whole jar, wrapped it and handed it over.
Fugaku took the document and looked at the empty jar with twitching lips.
"Go home and find a jar to put it in." Watergate quickly put the jar back. "If the tea leaves are gone, I can say that I drank it all. If the jar is gone, Kakashi and the others will nag again."
“
You seem to hate ginseng tea. "
"The more I drink it, the weirder it tastes."
"It's a healthy tea, so don't be so fussy about the taste." Fugaku smacked his lips. He looked at Watergate, who seemed to be in a good mood recently.
“
His face was glowing.
He tucked the paper bag into his sleeve. "You're as hard to please as always."
"Of course not. It's just that a healthy person wouldn't drink this stuff every day." Watergate looked at Fugaku's carefully tucked sleeve and wanted to laugh. "You can come to me for more after you're done. I still have a few jars at home."
"Ha, Kakashi didn't empty the King's Residence, did he?" Fugaku took a sip of tea. "How generous of him."
"Although I don't like it, it's a waste to let it rot in the warehouse." Naruto sat on the bed with a cup of water. "Alright, now that we're done chatting, tell me what you're up to. Why were you so anxious to meet me last night?"
"Oh? I thought you already knew. "Fugaku put down the cup.
"I'm not a roundworm in your stomach." Naruto smiled.
"Don't play dumb."
"Hey, you were the one who played dumb first." Naruto stretched his arms and lay on the small bed in the lounge. "If you were really dumb, you wouldn't have come looking for me so anxiously early in the morning. You couldn't wait for me and I couldn't chase you away."
Fugaku also relaxed his body. "Who told you to mess with the menopausal woman? She scolded you from head to toe in front of your office yesterday. I can't even pretend that I didn't hear it."
"Let her scold me. It's just a small matter. She can't do anything except scold me."
"A thousand mile dike collapses because of an ant's nest. Don't be so arrogant as to think that the elders will cooperate with you forever. Bo Fung Watergate, Golden Flash, you have to understand how many people are watching your every move and every word! "
Watergate stretched his legs. "Fugaku, since you've finally retired safely and have some time for yourself, why don't you spend more time with your family and do something meaningful? Look at Hiroyuki Yamanaka. He plants flowers and plants at home and feeds the deer for the Nara family. Naruto hasn't even passed by since he retired. "
"There are only a few people in the Yamanaka family. If they were as big as our Uchiha family, there would be a lot of people talking. Let's see if he dares to be lazy."
"There are a lot of people talking." Naruto smacked his lips and turned over to sit up. He looked at Fugaku's eyelids that were getting longer and longer. The more he looked at Fugaku, the older he felt. "It seems that you've been under a lot of pressure recently. Don't tell me you're here today to ask me for support."
"I'm here to confirm whether the stupid Naruto's ability to govern Konoha has declined." Fugaku continued to rub his numb right shoulder.
"Isn't he a retired official who has no power in his hands? His status in the family has plummeted?" Watergate smiled.
"Don't compare me to you." Fugaku continued to rub.
"I'm not that useless. I'm a potential risk factor for Alzheimer's."
"A person who will be paralyzed and incontinent before he sees me in trouble has no right to say that."
Fugaku's face turned serious.
Watergate, however, was amused by Fugaku's chilly aura, and then sighed. "Don't worry, Itachi has grown up. Although he's not mature enough. As for now, the powerful Golden Flash has just given you beautiful tea leaves that represent strong friendship. When I leave later, I'll be intimate with you at the door. "
Fugaku sighed and got up. Looking at Bo Fung Watergate's bright smile, he finally endured the goosebumps and angry punches.
Commitment is another kind of vision.
…
September 15, 1961, Konoha
This day was the 386th day since the official retirement of Konoha Jounin Uchiha Fugaku, No. 004086. As usual, he heated up food for his son, brought food to his wife, washed the dishes at home, and strolled around in Konoha out of boredom.
