But the seed had to sprout,
The water and soil were so suitable,
It was even faster than the cafeteria giving out bean sprouts.
On the morning of September 17, 61, Konoha,
It was only 8: 05
Naruto Building, Basement
Uchiha Shisui pushed open the door of the Dark Minister's office and bowed three times to Kakashi as soon as he entered the room.
"Are you crazy?" The Dark Minister's voice under his mask was a little tight.
"I'm mourning for you in advance,
So that I won't die before you. "He straightened up,
His expression was serious,
"Sama has tested me several times this morning,
And I..,
In order to avoid the irreparable consequences of young master Naruto's private trip, to him..,
He lied. "
"Haha, I owe you a meal."
"Remember to burn a pair of beautiful chopsticks for me."
As Shisui spoke, he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blow past. He shook his shoulders to drive away the chill.
"Kakashi, you lied to me."
"You're the one who insisted on misunderstanding it." Kakashi spread out his hands,
“
Which law says that Naruto's disciple's words are what Naruto agreed to. "
Shisui heard Kakashi's indifferent tone and hurriedly took a deep breath. "You bastard, it's fine if you don't treat me as a human. Anyway, our relationship is just that. But what about Genma? What about Yamato? What about the other Dark Forces that you implicated? — — Naruto's subordinates, Naruto's Dark Forces,
They actually helped Naruto's most trusted person to deceive the world,
Do you know what this is? If Naruto -sama chooses not to forgive us in the end,
Do you know what the consequences will be? We will all become rebellious ninjas — — you're not really thinking of a coup, are you? "
Kakashi raised his eyes,
Seeing the killing intent in Shisui's eyes, he simply wanted to laugh. "You have a big imagination."
“
It's clearly your brain that has water in it. "
“
It's human nature to drag someone down with me when I'm about to die. "Finally, Kakashi put down the document in his hand.
Upon hearing this, Captain Naruto became even angrier.
I thought you weren't that stupid! This is the second time, Kakashi. How dare you? "
Kakashi lowered his eyes.
“
I admit that I got a little out of control with Eero. I was too naive and naive. I was too eager for quick success. But this time, the opportunity really can't be missed. "
Shisui sighed.
"Does it have to be like this? Aren't you afraid that the news of Uchiha Fugaku's death will spread in advance? If someone really wanted to cause trouble, Itachi's strength was not bad. Ordinary people could not bite him, but Sasuke, that silly boy, would become a big shining magnet. Aren't you selling your teacher's precious son as bait? You still dare to say that you're out of your mind. "
“
Naruto was already 14 years old. What was teacher doing when he was 14 years old? What were you, me, and even Itachi doing when they were 14 years old? As one of the Konoha Ninjas, it's only right for him to bear the responsibility as soon as possible. "
“
You're right. "Shisui didn't know what to say.
“
Four Generations have worked so hard for so many years. Can't you let him be happy for a few more days to spend more time with his son? As you can see, when he eats with Naruto, he can eat half a bowl more even if he doesn't have the appetite. When he sleeps with his son at night, didn't he sleep until dawn? Even if Konoha lacks people now, it doesn't lack Genin. "
“
Naruto is the Force Of Human Column. "
“
Konoha doesn't need a Force Of Human Column to make its existence known. "
“
It'll be too late when it's really needed. "
Shisui suddenly felt that Kakashi's tone was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was. "What do you mean?"
“
Indecisiveness will only lead to trouble. "Kakashi sighed.
“
Otherwise, I'll be too bored to disobey teacher. "
Shisui was a little anxious. "Kakashi?"
"That's all I have to say." Kakashi wasn't as patient with his peers as he was with his seniors.
"If there's nothing else, you can leave."
But the guard captain wasn't afraid of the Anbu Minister.
"Kakashi, don't always be alone. It's not good, it's not good for everyone.
”
“
Kakashi took out a new cigarette box and tapped it on the table.
“
Pah! " Shisui finally managed to control his emotions in time. "I'm warning you, no matter how protective Naruto -sama is, he'll still get angry."
“
It's good to give him a chance to vent. "Kakashi lit a cigarette and took a puff." I know what I'm doing, and I hope you do too. You can leave. "
Shisui frowned in frustration. He didn't want to get into a conflict with Kakashi, but he didn't want Naruto to know about his son from outside the guards. He had a feeling that if the guards chose the wrong side again, it wouldn't be just a matter of transferring a few Shadow Guards.
"Before Naruto -sama finds out, you should go turn yourself in."
"Or else?" Kakashi looked at the rope Shisui was holding in his hand.
“
You're going to tie me up to atone for your crime? "
"Or else?" Shisui's eyes reddened as he unraveled the rope. "The morning meeting won't last for more than a few minutes. After the meeting ends, hurry up and apologize."
Kakashi took another puff of his cigarette and blew out half a smoke ring.
"Ring ring ring." Suddenly, the phone rang.
Kakashi picked it up.
“
This is the Shadow Chief's office. "
"Kakashi."
It wasn't the Shadow Chief's report that came through the phone, but Naruto's. "I suddenly remembered. Naruto said yesterday that he had been eating takeout for several days and wanted to eat home-cooked food. I looked at the morning schedule, and I think I can rush home to cook at noon. Remember to ask Naruto and Sasuke to come back for lunch. "
“
Okay, "Kakashi replied subconsciously.
“
Naruto hung up the phone.
“
Uchiha Shisui unraveled the rope again and cursed in a low voice.
"He must have found out! Why didn't you think one step back? If you sent Naruto and the others to the Land of the Wind, you could've sent Yamato a message now, and they would've been back at Thor by noon. What were you thinking? Why did you have to go in the direction of the Water Country with few coordinates?
”
“
Isn't Sagittarius's camp safer? "
Kakashi took off his eye mask and wiped his face.
“
I have to get back to work. Since you have nothing to do, take the time to rest. Uchiha's matter has only just begun. "
“
You have to deal with Naruto's matter first! Go and apologize, while the lord gave you a chance! Don't take any chances. "
"Noon, noon." Kakashi put out his cigarette.
“
I didn't make any mistakes when I sent Naruto out. Konoha doesn't have any rules that say that the Shadow Chief can't send a Genin out of the village for a mission. "
“
Kakashi. "
“
So this is only a private matter of the Kaze family. "
Naruto had no private matters — Shisui wanted to say this, but when he saw the certainty in Kakashi's eyes, he could only grit his teeth and disappear.
Kakashi listened to Shisui's words before he left.
“
Take care of yourself. "He put on the blindfold. He knew what those words meant — Please don't always rely on the person I'm guarding to protect you and trample on his trust in you. Why did it look so similar to Sagittarius -senpai's bowl-sized fist? Kakashi touched his back molar that still seemed to be hurting, and his heart felt a little uncomfortable. Yes, his sensei, their Naruto, had been really hard these years. Other than work, there was only Naruto left. But Naruto would grow up, and children would grow up very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was already 9 in the morning.
Naruto's building, small reception room.
The atmosphere was considered friendly.
"No, no, no, it's not strange. Whether it's your office or the reception room, it's the same wherever we talk." Naruto's guest today couldn't help but take out his handkerchief. He already regretted wearing a thick suit for the sake of face.
“
It's just a little hot here, hahaha. "
“
Is it hot? It's okay. "Naruto took off his white cloak and handed it to the Anbu who followed him, and fanned himself while he was at it. He knew that the old Naruto's building always broke down in the summer, but he didn't expect that the rarely used reception room would run out of electricity and turn on the air conditioner. But he was too lazy to explain, so Naruto was still polite.
"You must have eaten too much breakfast."
But the guest seemed to be very unaccustomed to Naruto's cold jokes, but he was more concerned about the "
“
You "word." Four, Four Generations -sama, please don't be like this, this subordinate is extremely frightened. "
“
I know you don't have any humorous cells. " As soon as the Hokage heard this, he frowned, but his focus was on the "subordinate" mentioned by the visitor.
"As a representative sent by the Lord, you shouldn't call yourself a subordinate to a Kage. I'm in charge of military affairs, you're in charge of civil affairs, we're clearly colleagues, right?"
And the Fire Nation's minister's legs were even more weak. He finally realized why the Minister of Economics had suddenly fallen ill before leaving the country. Because it took a lot of courage and wisdom to have a normal conversation with this ninja who used to kill people like flies.
“
What's the matter, sir, why do you keep wiping your sweat? If there's anything that Konoha's service is not satisfactory, you can tell us directly. "
“
No, no. " The minister hurriedly put away the damp handkerchief, his good guy EQ told him that Naruto didn't want to mention the word "hot".
“
Since there's no problem, please sit down. "Naruto finally sat on the sofa by the wall of the reception room.
“
Yes, yes. "The minister bowed slightly and sat down.
Naruto nodded to him and said, "I'm really sorry, Konoha has been very busy recently, I can't get away, so I can only trouble you to come over."
“
Of course, of course. " The minister on the sofa finally didn't feel weak in the knees, after all, he was sitting, and Naruto's height didn't put much pressure on him, not to mention, "For the benefit of the Fire Nation, this humble minister has to go through a mountain of swords or a sea of flames."
“
Since that's what you think. " Naruto saw that the minister had even gotten into the mood to talk, so he didn't waste any more time. He waved his hand and took a thick folder from the Black Ops, and handed it to the minister who was secretly wiping his sweat with his sleeve.
“
This is. "The minister was a little embarrassed by Naruto's stare.
“
That minister of economy who pretended to be sick already told you, right? We're going to talk about some rules that everyone can accept for the joint economic zone of the Fire Nation and the Wind Nation. Originally, I wanted to put it aside for a while, so that the areas that could easily go wrong would be exposed. But the Land of the Wind and Water Country are both urging me, so I can't delay it any longer. So, what you have in your hand is a draft of some of the necessary negotiation items that Konoha has compiled from various sources. Hurry up and take a look, we'll talk after you're done. "
“
Yes. " The minister of temporary work could only look at the document, but before that, he also took out a thin folder.
“
Um, when I came here, the minister of economy also gave me a draft, saying that he wants you to help him correct it. "
“
Okay. "Naruto let the Anbu take it, and only after receiving the warning that it was safe and non-toxic did he take it in his hand.
So, the meeting room that was supposed to be used for talking turned into a self-study room with rustling papers. However, the only one who was seriously looking at the document was the unlucky minister. As for our Naruto, naturally, he seized the time to close his eyes and rest. Also, he took advantage of the rare free time to sort out his thoughts. For example, Uchiha Fugaku, Mikoto Uchiha, and all the Uchiha. Of course, there was also Kakashi and Naruto.
Yes, Bo Fung Watergate already knew that his cute Naruto was schemed against by his most trusted disciple. Watergate felt that he should be angrier this time than last time. Indeed, when he confirmed this matter, his lungs were about to explode. But then his stomach, which was more painful than his lungs, told him that even if he was angry and worried, what could he do? First, his son was already in the field. Once a ninja accepted a mission, it was impossible to end it. Even if the survival rate of that mission was really zero, he didn't dare to go to his son's side and forcibly take him home. If he really dared to do this, then the next day, all the Konoha Ninjas in Konoha who were worried that their son would be in danger would think that Bo Fung Watergate's son was his son, but other people's son wasn't?
This was not what a qualified Naruto should do. He didn't want to use a seemingly reasonable reason to fool his subordinates.
Second, Watergate really didn't dare to do this. After all, the border defense wasn't a mountain of swords or a sea of flames. Moreover, he wasn't sure whether his Anbu were still loyal to him or not. Even Naruto's guards were suspicious this time. Otherwise, as the Hokage, with everyone around him knowing his attitude towards his son, it's impossible for him to find out that his son is gone, and he needs to personally avoid people to check.
Bo Fung Watergate didn't understand what he did recently that caused such a large-scale betrayal.
Yes, betrayal. Bo Fung Watergate knew that he shouldn't think like this, but he couldn't help it. He even began to suspect the possibility that his Kakashi was replaced by someone else.
"Naruto -sama?"
Watergate suddenly opened his eyes and felt a lingering fear. Although he had already warned himself that it was better to stay alert for the time being before he figured out a lot of things, he still fell asleep.
"Naruto -sama."
Naruto was completely awakened by the second call. He looked at the National Capital Minister who handed the document back to him with a smile. "Have you finished reading it?"
“
I've finished reading it, I have no objections at all. " After discovering that the thing in his hand was a complete and comprehensive set of rules and regulations, the minister finally understood why Naruto didn't read his draft but slept instead.
"You're really fast."
"Probably because I sat closer to Golden Flash today?" The well-behaved minister skillfully flattered, "Ah, but I just saw that you don't look well. Did you not rest well? Please take care of yourself for the sake of the Fire Country."
"Care more." Naruto also skillfully exchanged pleasantries, "It's not that I didn't rest well. It's just that summer is over and autumn is coming, so I'm in a bad mood."
"Autumn is easy to make people feel bad. Remember how the poem goes: Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, but the yellow flowers on the battlefield are especially fragrant."
Naruto, "⊙ ⊙ ⊙."
There was no fragrance of flowers, but there was the fragrance of food.
A town 10 hours away from Konoha.
A roadside restaurant.
Sasuke looked at Yamato who was resting with his eyes closed, then looked at the Anbu ninja who was scribbling on a notebook, and then looked at Naruto who had already broken several pairs of disposable chopsticks. He sighed, "Why do we have to wait for food to be served in a restaurant like we're on an outing?"
"Because Yamato -sensei just said that there won't be such a restaurant after this village. If we eat one more meal here, we'll have more food when we're in danger." Naruto seemed to adapt quickly. "Isn't that right, Yamato -sensei?"
Yamato closed his eyes and nodded.
"But." Sasuke still couldn't accept it, "It's fine if you cook noodles in the morning, but going to a restaurant during the mission is really … Last time when Kakashi brought us out, we didn't see it so casual."
"Because last time we were bodyguards, grandpa Danas was in a hurry to go home and didn't care about the quality of life, so we had to eat dry food. If we become bodyguards again in the future, and the employer is a businessman and wants to go to a restaurant, how can we not go? Besides, this time we're just going to change the guard, it's not a secret mission. "Naruto pursed his lips and put his chopsticks flat on his upper lip," Isn't that right, Yamato -sensei? "
Yamato only nodded again.
This time, Sasuke didn't say anything. He scratched his eyebrows and kicked Naruto under the table, "I can't do it, you do it."
Naruto put the chopsticks in his mouth on his fingers and rolled his eyes, "But Yamato -sensei, what did you just say? If ninjas don't eat along the way, it's impossible to revitalize the economy along the way. If the economy along the way is active, the safety of the trade route is guaranteed. What does that mean?"
"I don't understand either. That's what the higher-ups said." Yamato was still straightforward, "In short, the inns along the way are to entertain businessmen and ninjas. If there's food, just eat. Don't talk nonsense."
Naruto could only scratch his eyebrows this time, but this child who was rarely willing to give up naturally didn't know what it meant to give up. He poked Yamato, "Then I'll tell you what I understand. See if I'm right."
"Okay."
"In the past, businessmen were foodies … Well, in short, we eat with the businessmen, and the ordinary people along the way, um, ah, ah, I don't care." In the end, Naruto couldn't explain it, "In short, Yamato -sensei, this mission is strange. Sasuke and I have been discussing it along the way, and our eyes are about to pop out. We keep feeling that you're hiding something from us. Since we're in the same team now, just tell us the truth. Can't we share the burden together? "
"No." Yamato smiled.
"Is it because the two of us are Genin?" Sasuke quickly followed up. If that's what you mean, our so-called mission won't be the same as the Wave Country, and you'll use it as a prop A and B to attract attention. "
"In your dreams." Yamato took a sip of water, "We're just changing the guard this time. It's no different from other teams changing the guard."
"Then what does he do?" Naruto finally succeeded in leading the topic to the only stranger, "Changing the guard with an Anbu?"
"He just happened to be free, so I temporarily asked him to replace Sakura. You can find him if you have diarrhea. He wants to change his profession to a medical ninja in the future." Yamato gave a thumbs up and closed his eyes again.
But the strange Anbu seemed to have heard him, and finally raised his head and seemed to smile. Then he lowered his head and continued to draw.
"Uh." Naruto and Sasuke could only continue to look at each other. Naruto couldn't help but blink first. "Field work is so boring. Sasuke, I'll join the Anbu in the future."
Sasuke didn't want to pay attention to this childhood friend who would die if he didn't speak. He was now more and more confused. He always felt that the farther away from Konoha, the more anxious he was, as if he was about to lose something important. But at the same time, he also felt that it might just be a strange illusion because he was not used to field work.
"Hey, Sasuke." Naruto was still lively.
But the upset Sasuke finally turned his head away and closed his eyes like Yamato, waiting for lunch. Although the sun in mid-September wasn't hot, it was still dazzling.
There must be shadows under the sun.
…
Time was still unhurried.
This was a shameless joke to make up for the word count.
