One day,
Two days,
Another three days passed. October had officially arrived.
Today was the first day of October,
As the beginning of a new work cycle, Konoha was centered around Naruto's building,
Everyone was really busy for the day,
Until night fell,
There were no pedestrians on the street,
Only then did they silently stop the hurried gears. But business was done,
Private matters could not be delayed. They had to go no matter how late it was! For example, a young ninja in love wanted to go on a date,
For example, a discount card for ramen was going to expire today, and for example, the Uchiha family meeting that had been delayed for three days without giving Naruto a reply.
Uchiha's main residence, basement three,
Small meeting room
"Have you all finished discussing? I'll give you one more night. If you still can't decide, tomorrow I'll reply to the Four Generations according to my own intentions. "
Uchiha's current patriarch, Itachi, once again looked at the noisy Uchiha elders in the room who seemed to never get tired. He straightened his back and resisted the urge to yawn for the second time at the same time. Itachi was really a little sleepy. The family documents that he had to read after work every day were actually not much easier than the work in Naruto's office.
..
"At least you have to give me an answer whether there's a result today." Itachi actually didn't mind the elders in the family giving him advice,
Naruto didn't mind too much either. But Itachi's intuition told him that..,
If they continued to dawdle like this, it really might not be certain,
"Great Elder?"
"Yes." The great elder looked around,
He kept feeling that this scene was inexplicably familiar. Alright, as expected, he was the only one who raised his head. "This elder thinks that our Uchiha definitely can't sit still and wait for death. The Uchiha definitely won't lose out."
"Then why don't you give me an idea!" Itachi slammed the table and became even more serious. He realized that his father's insistence on the poker face was not without reason. "Speak."
"It's all because of that damned Bo Fung Watergate." The Great Elder looked at the new patriarch whose eyes were already glowing red and quickly interrupted himself. "No, it's the great and wise leader of the Four Generations, Naruto. It's really hard to choose from the choices he gave us."
"Why is it so hard to choose?" Itachi asked sternly.
"Each has its own advantages and disadvantages."
"What's the point of talking for three days?" Itachi frowned. "I want an explanation!"
The First Elder stroked his beard. Of course, he could directly say that no matter what their family chose, it would only benefit that damned Bo Fung Watergate. Besides, Clan Leader, the reason why we're dragging this out is because we don't want you to count the money for them after you've been sold off. We want that golden fox to know that even though the new clan leader is young, his family members are still alive. But was he really going to tell the truth like this? The First Elder thought of the missing people, his granddaughter who had married a poor Hinata boy, and his one-year-old beautiful great-grandson. He still did not speak.
"Great Elder!"
"You're the patriarch!" The First Elder waved his sleeves and looked around. He felt that the scene and the conversation now were more familiar, as if he had seen it before.
But the old man's daze made Itachi even angrier. Itachi still could not control his Chakra. With a bang, the table under his hand was split into firewood like an axe. Itachi looked at the row of black and white heads below him and followed the First Elder's example. He waved his sleeves and directly left the annoying basement. He realized that he should not be nice to these people just because they did not object to him and his father. Just looking at how they did not respect the leader of the Four Generations, he should not have.
"Itachi? What's wrong? Why are you so angry? "
"Sorry, Mom." Itachi walked out of the staircase and saw Mikoto Uchiha trimming the shrubs in the yard.
"The meeting didn't go well." Mikoto moved the big scissors. "Don't worry, Mom believes that this is not your problem. In fact, when your father was young, he would always be angry after a meeting with those people. So, Itachi, you will slowly get used to it. "
"Probably." Itachi answered, but he did not think that day would come. "Mom, it's already very late. Why are you out trimming the garden at this time?"
"I was bored during the day, so I slept a little longer. And when I lie on the bed, I think of your father." Mikoto winked at her eldest son. "It's been a long day, Itachi. Do you want to have a midnight snack before bed?"
"No, I'm not hungry at all." Itachi picked up the broom and helped his mother sweep the cut branches and leaves aside. He then grabbed the scissors in Mikoto's hand. "If you don't want to go back to the master bedroom, you can sleep in my room first. I will sleep with Sasuke. Sasuke should be asleep now."
"He's going to sleep after eating. Today he's been digging the sewers for the whole day. It's terrible." Mikoto lowered her head and grabbed Itachi's sleeve. "Go in quietly, don't disturb him."
"Okay." Itachi let his mother grab him until they reached the door of his room. "Good night, Mom."
"Good night." Mikoto stood on her tiptoes and suddenly planted a goodnight kiss on Itachi's forehead. Looking at her eldest son's indifference, she smiled again. "I'm glad you didn't avoid me like when you were a child."
"I'm not a child anymore." Itachi looked at his mother's happy face and suddenly felt that he was really annoying when he was a child.
"Okay, don't worry about Mom. Mom is a fierce Konoha ninja."
"Then why don't you want to work anymore?" Itachi could not help but ask. "The Great Patriarch said that if you are willing to continue as the Acting Head of the Defense Department, I don't need to choose a new position."
"Because Mom wants to make room for you and Sasuke. In a few years, when Sasuke grows up, there will be three Uchiha sitting on the Konoha executive board." Mikoto flipped her soft black hair. "Mom is very powerful. If I didn't marry your father and have you immediately after, I might have been able to earn a prestigious title on the battlefield. Like the Fugaku Family's Spatula Valkyrie?"
"…"
"What, you don't believe me?"
No, it's just that the nickname is a little strange. Itachi silently complained. He silently hid himself and quietly watched his mother fall asleep. He quietly returned to his father's small study and took out his newly engraved name stamp to stamp on the family's documents.
And now, it was almost the second day.
Hatake House, Konoha, Land of Fire
The young patriarch was not the only one who could sleep well in the middle of the night.
"Sensei, don't go out without putting on clothes after taking a shower."
"Don't say things that can be easily misunderstood. I'm wearing underwear." Watergate slipped into bed and covered himself with the blanket. Anyway, he would have to take it off again before he went to sleep.
"Did you forget what the doctor said during the physical examination at the hospital yesterday? The temperature has dropped, so pay attention to your abdomen. If you think that you've recovered because your stomach doesn't hurt anymore, don't blame the doctor when it relapses." Kakashi caught up and threw his pajamas at the foot of the bed.
"You're getting more and more long-winded, Kakako-san." Watergate stretched out his legs and put on his pajamas.
"Are you regretting assigning so much work to your obedient little bunny?" Kakashi unfolded his pajamas. "Arm."
"Yes, Hatake House Kakako-san." Our Hokage seems to be in a good mood today. Not only did he accept his disciple's kindness, but he also praised, "I really don't know which silly boy will marry our filial daughter in the future."
Kakashi ignored his sensei, although he knew that his sensei really wanted to see him lose his temper.
But how could a bad-tempered sensei stop? "Kakashi, Kakako-san? Have you thought about what kind of husband you'll marry in the future? If you want to marry a prince, sensei can help you. First, I'll make you a pair of shiny crystal shoes. When you seduce a prince to dance with you, you'll leave a shoe for him to look for you all over the world. Then, the great Konoha Ninjas will send you back and get a high reward.
”
"That's a good way to make money." Kakashi still didn't lose his temper. He waved his hand and took the enamel bowl from the Shadow Guard on duty. He blew on it.
Our Naruto immediately yawned when he saw it.
"I'm working overtime. I'm going to sleep. Kakakako-san, go back to sleep too. "
"The ostrich tactic is useless." Kakashi was unmoved.
"I'll say it again. My stomach is fine." Watergate crossed his arms and closed his eyes.
"That's why this isn't stomach medicine. It's to help you sleep. Mute also said that you're still a little weak."
"Didn't that girl say that I'm very healthy during the physical examination last month?"
"Health and weakness aren't contradictory." Kakashi pulled his sensei up. "I'll say it one last time. If you don't want to drink the medicine, wait for me to call Naruto. That kid has been dealing with the sewer garbage for several days. Every day when he goes home, he washes his hands. Tsk tsk, this is the time when he hates boring D-level missions. "
"That's why let him sleep. Don't disturb him." Watergate seemed to be too sleepy to open his eyes.
"If you're scared, then get up and take the medicine." Kakashi narrowed his eyes and looked at him.
Watergate Daddy snatched the bowl. "You're saying that you have to drink it every night from now on, right?"
"Yes." Kakashi pulled over a stool and sat by the bed. "There's no harm in nourishing your body."
"…"
"Why don't you retire to the second line tomorrow? Since you can't avoid staying up late and working overtime from time to time, you have to do something positive. "Kakashi was still talking to himself.
"Something positive? Your health report from yesterday's physical examination was also very interesting. You don't have enough Chakra and stamina reserves? I told you that you've been lacking exercise recently. How about you run 200 laps around Konoha now? "Watergate looked at the black and sticky medicine in the cup, shook it, and drank it in one go.
Kakashi took the bowl and handed him the cup. "Remember to drink it slowly tomorrow. It'll help with absorption."
"Yes, yes, Miss Kakashi." Watergate drank the water and swallowed the bitter taste in his mouth. "Can I sleep now? I still have work tomorrow."
"Okay, you sleep." Kakashi took back the cup. "I'll keep watch for you."
"There are guards. Shisui will be back soon."
"I'll leave when he's back. I don't have much work to do tomorrow anyway, so I have nothing to do anyway."
"Hmph." Naruto pretended not to hear his disciple's sour words and quickly fell asleep.
Kakashi also did as he said. He sat on the chair and silently watched his teacher. It wasn't until the old clock in the living room chimed three times that he finally saw Naruto's guard captain. "Why are you back so late?"
The red-faced Shadow Guard took off his mask and opened his mouth. "What do you think the internal security of Konoha is? By the way, did the Four Generations tell you when the new guard captain will take office today? "
"Aren't you the one who's always been the captain?" Kakashi picked up Uchiha Shisui's dog mask and looked it up and down.
"Then I'll be the first person to die of exhaustion in Konoha."
"Heh, it's a good chance to go down in history."
"…" Shisui didn't answer. He felt like he was being choked again. Fine, his disciple was his disciple. Sooner or later, Kakashi's words would be even more annoying than Naruto's.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" But the Shadow Guard Captain wouldn't let go of his job so easily.
"There's nothing to say." Shisui waved his hand. "Go to sleep. Although there's nothing much to do as a field agent in the Shadow Guard, there are many unexpected incidents. Don't you think so, my Shadow Guard Captain?
”
Kakashi's teeth hurt when he heard this, but he really couldn't do anything to Shisui. So Kakashi picked up the only chair in the room and turned to leave. Then he turned back and took away the coffee table and sofa by the window. Naruto's guards weren't Naruto's disciples. "Of course you have to stand guard at the door and squat on the roof beam, right, Captain?"
"Of course." Shisui, who had been standing there all day, silently prayed. He winked at the stingy Kakashi. "Those who are unrighteous are doomed to destruction. Be careful not to meet a ghost at night."
As a result, our sensitive Kakashi sneezed again. But this time he didn't step on the manhole cover and fall into the sewer, nor was he robbed by the King of Pranks Naruto Uzumaki. Instead, he couldn't sleep.
The feeling of being sleepy but not being able to sleep wasn't a good feeling. Kakashi, who was lying on the bed tossing and turning, closed his eyes and listened to the various sounds outside the window. Finally, he got up. He went to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and drank the juice Naruto prepared for his father. Then he went to Eero's window and glanced at Ichibi's Force Of Human Column who was sleeping in the corner. He saw the red panda's pair of green eyes. Kakashi shrunk his head and thought about whether the red panda was a cat or not. Finally, he went into the bathroom, locked the door behind him, looked around, picked up a flashlight, and made a hand seal. "Whoosh!" He arrived in front of a door.
This door was a traditional sliding door with a wooden frame. The so-called door was nothing more than a four-screen screen. Some mountains and rivers were painted on the screen, and the words "Ten Thousand Gullies and Pine Breeze" were written on the bottom right corner. Kakashi didn't like this door, but he couldn't help but push it open to see if it was broken. The answer was no. It wasn't bitten by insects or rats, and the iron hinges weren't rusted to the point that they wouldn't budge. Even the brick wall behind the door, which was built close to the door frame, was standing firm. Kakashi was relieved, closed the door, and turned around.
After a few steps, he came to another door. It was also a traditional door, but it only had two screens and was painted with plum blossoms. But it seemed that the painter's eyesight wasn't very good. Many red spots weren't painted on the curly branch from the bottom right corner. But Kakashi's target wasn't the branch, but a small chest of drawers next to the door.
The chest of drawers was also an old item. It was different from the cheap wooden furniture that was popular in Konoha. It was made of solid wood with carved patterns, and it looked expensive. But Kakashi didn't care. He opened the drawers roughly, and then his eyes curved. His fingers slid around, and he finally chose a book. He sat down cross-legged and began to read … Well, he was hiding books. This chest of drawers contained a whole set of "Intimate Paradise", brand new!
Kakashi bit the flashlight excitedly, and at the same time, he reminisced about the little cuties that his teacher found under the bed, in the chest, and in the toilet tank. "If you don't let me read, then I won't read in front of you. It's just that reading here is a bit stuffy. Next time, I should bring a mini fan or something."
But soon, Kakashi didn't want a fan anymore. The room he was in used to be a small living room. The front door that led to the courtyard had been blocked by him with bricks. The back door led to the bedroom, and the bedroom's only window was blocked from the outside with bricks. And this living room had never had a window. So, where did the cold wind come from?!
Kakashi swallowed his saliva. First, he denied Naruto's prank. Naruto didn't know that there was such a room in the backyard of Hatake's house. It couldn't be his teacher either. If his teacher found out that he was here, he would never follow him. Then, could it really be …
Kakashi put down the book and lifted his forehead protector. His eyes were glowing red.
There was no leak in the roof, and there were no leaks in the walls. Finally, Kakashi's gaze locked on the door of the bedroom with the plum blossoms painted on it. Kakashi reached out his hand and stopped for a long time at the crack of the door. He did feel the flow of air.
"Could it be that it leaked when it rained last time?" Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he frowned and opened the door.
Inside the door was the same as before. A white mottled and wrinkled cloth was spread on the wooden floor. Behind the cloth was a traditional carved double bed. The bed was also covered with a thick layer of dust. Behind the bed was the window that Kakashi suspected had leaked.
Kakashi first checked that there was no leak in the roof. Then, he walked around the bed and the white cloth. He uncovered the same white cloth on the window and searched carefully. He didn't know how long he searched, but he couldn't find any cracks. "I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Kakashi hurriedly took out a kunai and hit himself. It was painful and bleeding.
"Shisui cast an illusion on me?" Kakashi's pupils turned, but he couldn't find any clues.
"I'm just scaring myself." Kakashi nodded and closed the door. He decided to take the risk and take the book back to read. He would bring it back when his teacher woke up. But as soon as he lowered his head to pick up the book, the cold wind came again.
Kakashi felt his hand trembling. "Konoha in October is indeed a little cold. Hehehehe …"
He walked too much at night.
