Soon, the sky brightened.
Nothing major happened in Konoha, where birds chirped and flowers bloomed.
Hatake House, Konoha, the Land of Fire.
"Why didn't Kakashi come out to eat today?" Naruto, the leader of the Four Generations, finished his millet wolfberry porridge.
He looked at the untouched breakfast on the table.
Half a basket of croissants.
A small bowl of saury salad and a bowl of thick black sesame paste.
"Oh.
I came back at three o 'clock in the morning yesterday.
Kakashi took over the guard's shift for me. "Uchiha Shisui, who was sitting to the side, quickly stuffed the meat bun in his mouth into his throat.
"My Lord.
I'll go call him. "
"Forget it.
Let him sleep. We'll save food if he starves to death. "
"Yes." Shisui heard Naruto's dissatisfaction with his disciple.
But what did that have to do with him?
Naruto, who didn't hear any more suggestions, frowned. He reached out to take the bread and the salad that was specially prepared for Kakashi.
Naruto stopped eating when he saw this. "Dad, don't eat cold things like sashimi in the morning."
"The salad won't be fresh when Kakashi wakes up.
It's not good to waste it. "Watergate Daddy gave Naruto the transparent saury.
"That's true." Naruto didn't like eating saury at all, so he picked up a fork and the cold and slippery food went into Eero's mouth. "But Dad, you seem to have a good appetite today."
"It's very good." Naruto nibbled on the vegetables and occasionally took a piece of crispy croissant. He felt the whole world brighten up.
555,
Finally, a stomach patient who didn't have to avoid food was happy.
"And Dad." Naruto helped his father eat the salad.
"Today's breakfast seems very special.
Is there something to celebrate? "
To celebrate the fact that I don't have to eat sick food anymore! Of course, Watergate Daddy wouldn't say such things to his son. He chewed on his bread and asked, "Is Naruto satisfied with today's breakfast?"
"It's delicious. I want to eat it every day." Naruto scooped up a large piece of caramel pudding and didn't want to stop eating at all. It wasn't the usual boxed milk, egg, bacon, pork floss, ham sandwiches and nutritious meals in the cafeteria. Instead, it was the deep-fried golden fried dumplings, white steamed buns, bread pudding desserts, crispy appetizers and millet porridge. "Even if we eat like this every day, can our family afford the food expenses?"
"Uh, I'm afraid … No, wait." Watergate Daddy put down the fork in his hand and calculated his current salary, bonuses, and dividends. He realized that since Konoha started giving him full pay last month, he could increase his breakfast budget without going bankrupt! Then why did he eat in the cafeteria every day? He could go to a small restaurant in Konoha like today and ask them to make something else for his family! Sure enough, when the country was rich, Konoha would be rich. When Konoha was rich, it wouldn't owe Naruto his salary. When Naruto was rich, he would have the motivation to work hard and live a good life!
"So, Dad." Naruto looked at his father who seemed to be a little excited and asked excitedly, "Your expression seems to be saying that our family will be able to eat such delicious food every day like Sasuke's family in the future!"
"Seems like it." Watergate Daddy looked at Naruto, Eero, and Shisui who were full of anticipation and nodded vigorously.
However, Naruto looked at Eero, Shisui, and Kakashi's empty chairs and asked without giving his father any face, "Dad, don't force yourself just to save face. Otherwise, you won't have the money to pay the bills at the end of the month. Don't forget that we're not the only ones eating at home. "
"Son, what are you thinking in that head of yours! After tonight's mission, help me check my salary card. Didn't I already give you my card? " The excited Naruto -sama was a little embarrassed by his son's question. "Naruto, there were objective reasons why our family was thrifty in the past. Konoha had been poor for the past few years, and as Naruto, I had to take the lead. Now that we're rich, we didn't think of changing our habits. It's just that we're used to it. It's not that Naruto can't even afford to raise a son. "
"Really?"
"Really!"
Thus, when he saw Naruto and his son hugging each other and almost crying, Eero, who had never really paid for his meals, felt even more embarrassed. However, he didn't eat any less. Our guard captain, who had also been eating and drinking for free, felt even more embarrassed. At the very least, he couldn't eat anymore. As Naruto's guard captain, of course he knew how much Naruto's family hated the food in the cafeteria. However, at the same time, even though he was a single Konoha Ninjas, he still couldn't help but drink a little wine every week. It was all because of his incompetence that he dragged Naruto down like this. He really wanted to commit seppuku.
But no matter what, breakfast had to come to an end. Naruto and Eero packed up the meat buns that Kakashi didn't come to eat and the shrimp dumplings that Shisui didn't finish. Then, they skipped out on a mission and went to work. Meanwhile, our Shisui -sama was obediently washing the dishes.
"Hurry up and rest." Naruto wiped the table. "When Kakashi wakes up, he'll wash it."
"That won't make a difference." The guard captain, who was still a little upset, washed the dishes even more seriously. "Sir, don't do it. Leave the trash to me."
The somewhat inexplicable Hokage looked at his subordinates who obviously didn't like to do housework and shrugged, "Well, I'll change my clothes and go straight to work."
"Okay." The red-eyed guard captain watched Naruto leave and then looked at the plate in his hand that had accidentally split in half. He could only sigh. Fortunately, he didn't bring it out of Bo Feng's house. Otherwise, he would have committed seppuku. But, where was the bowl of sesame paste that no one drank?
Of course, it was in Naruto's hands.
Naruto looked at his watch. There were still about ten minutes before he had to go to work. He really did need to see Kakashi. In fact, Kakashi had never skipped breakfast without telling him first.
"Dang, dang, dang." Two long, one short, and one short. This was the secret signal that Bo Fung Watergate and Kakashi had agreed upon for a long time.
"Dang, dang, dang." There was no reply from the room, which made Naruto even more suspicious. A ninja like Kakashi couldn't have not reacted to the sound outside. "Kakashi, I'm coming in."
…
Watergate held the sesame paste and opened the locked door. "You're not really throwing a tantrum, are you?"
"No." Kakashi's voice came out from under the quilt.
Watergate put down the bowl and put his hand under the quilt to touch Kakashi's head. "You're not sick, are you?"
"No." Kakashi's voice was still muffled. "I'm not you."
Watergate lifted the quilt and touched Kakashi's neck and armpits. "You don't have a fever, but you sound like you have a cold."
"No, no, I'm fine." Kakashi covered himself with the quilt and turned to the wall. "Sensei, I'm just a little tired. I want to sleep. Hurry up and go to work. Leave me alone for a while."
"What's wrong?" Watergate was finally really worried. "You're not sick, and you're not throwing a tantrum. Then why are you curling up in the quilt like a cat in broad daylight! Get up and eat breakfast before you go to sleep. "
Kakashi had to get up, holding the quilt and picking up the bowl.
"I know you have something to say now." Watergate was relieved to see Kakashi willing to get up. "But think about it yourself. What happened to the Anbu department last month? Yes, all actions are confidential. I don't have to punish you in public. But if I don't deal with you, who made a mistake, what do you think the insiders will think? Uchiha Mikoto alone is enough to deal with. "
"I'm sorry, sensei."
"I don't need your apology, Kakashi." Watergate turned around with his hands behind his back. "You're the Anbu department head appointed by me. You did something wrong, and I did something wrong. But in the same way, whether I beat you or demoted you, you deserve it. You should understand! "
"I'm sorry, sensei." Kakashi's voice was much smaller.
Watergate turned around and saw his disciple unconsciously putting sesame paste into his mouth. He even forgot to wear a mask. He became even angrier. "Kakashi, what the hell are you thinking! You know, with the Anbu department's accident, if it weren't for you, no one would say anything if I killed the Anbu department head. But look at you now? I spoiled you. I just reduced your authority, and you're not the Anbu department head anymore? You're not the only disciple of the head of the Four Generations, Naruto? How old do you think you are? "
"I'm sorry, sensei."
Watergate slapped the spoon in Kakashi's hand. "Don't eat first. Look at me and tell me, what's the matter with you? If you don't make it clear, both of us don't have to go to work today. "
Kakashi hurriedly bent down and tried to pick up the spoon, but his hand slipped. A crisp sound of the spoon falling to the ground made him shudder.
Watergate took back his foot. "There are seven minutes left."
Kakashi swallowed his saliva.
Watergate straightened his face and looked directly at Kakashi. "Say it, except for Naruto, I'm willing to listen to you about anything, even if you tell me that you just had a nightmare yesterday and were in a bad mood."
"I just don't know how to say it." Kakashi raised his sleeve to wipe the sesame paste on his mask. He seemed to have woken up. "I saw him yesterday."
"Who?" Naruto frowned.
"Hatake White Fang." Kakashi suddenly looked up at the sensei. "I saw him. It's him, Hatake Maoso, in the bedroom where he committed suicide that year!"
"Ah, I see." Watergate touched his chin and looked at Kakashi whose eyes were bloodshot. He sighed. "You really put the 'Intimate Paradise' that Jiraiya gave you there."
"Sensei, I saw Hatake White Fang. My father, who committed suicide in his early years, looked exactly the same as the day he died. There was a knife in his stomach and blood all over the floor. He was looking at me with his big eyes.
”
"No, the point is that 'Intimate Paradise' is there. Is the latest series' Intimate Violence 'also there? I was wondering why I couldn't find it." Watergate sat next to Kakashi, put his arm around his shoulder, and opened his eye mask. "Also, you said you saw a ghost? Were you so scared that you tried to break the genjutsu? "
"I wasn't scared!" Kakashi retorted. "It's just that it's not normal."
"Sure enough, you overused your Sharingan." Watergate took out his cigarette box from his arms. "Is it very painful? Do you want to smoke?"
"It's not very painful."
"In fact, your special cigarettes have some effect." Watergate took out the amount of painkillers, five of them, and put them into Kakashi's mouth.
Kakashi lit the cigarette and blew out smoke rings at the Sharingan. "Sensei, do you believe in ghosts in this world?"
"Ghosts are much scarier than people." Watergate patted his disciple's shoulder. "Don't be afraid of ghosts. Didn't I tell you many times? Sensei has seen Shinigami with his own eyes. It's not that scary."
"I wasn't scared." Kakashi emphasized again. "I just overused my Sharingan."
"Okay, okay, you weren't scared." Watergate didn't comment. "By the way, did White Fang talk to you?"
"No."
"Oh, then next time you should try to talk to him. Souls who can't reincarnate are very lonely."
"Sensei."
"Didn't I tell you? I often see him. He always says that our Kakashi is already 30 years old, why isn't he married yet? He can't wait to have grandchildren. "
"Sensei!"
"I can only talk to him. It's really hard to find a female ninja nowadays, and Kakashi he …"
"Sensei, don't say it." Kakashi sighed. "I'm not you. I don't need to talk to pictures every day to reduce stress."
"It's not about reducing stress. Your sister Kina is in the picture."
"Can you please be more serious? If the White Fang I see is not a ghost, then what is it! That's the point. "
"I know you don't believe it." Watergate rubbed Kakashi's head. "Well, if I knew it would be this kind of thing, I would have gone to work earlier. But if you're still scared at night, I can go with you to see. "
"No need. I said I overused my Sharingan! "Kakashi emphasized for the third time.
"I won't confiscate your last set of" Making Out Paradise "." Watergate laughed twice, ignoring Kakashi who still wanted to explain, he went to the office with Thor. Looking at his watch, it's just 59 seconds to go to work. "Good morning, 016110."
Naruto's building, Naruto's office.
The sun is shining.
"Good morning, Sensei." Itachi brought hot water.
"Did you give an answer to your old geezers yesterday?"
"No, Sensei." Itachi told the truth, "But I've decided."
"Oh, is that so?" Naruto looked up and saw the determined face of his subordinate. He smiled, "Are you the head of the Anbu Field Department?"
"Yes, Sensei." Itachi took a deep breath and stood at attention, "Thank you for your kindness."
"You were the captain of the Anbu before you became the captain of the guards. This position is actually more suitable." Watergate took out a scroll, signed it and handed it to Itachi, "Well, now go to the Anbu to report, there are people waiting for you."
"I won't let you down." Itachi saluted and suddenly hesitated, "But Sensei, I'll go now, the office …"
"Don't worry, you're not the only captain of the guards."
"Yes, then I'll go." Itachi walked out of the door and turned back.
"Go, go, I'll teach you Thor when I have time." Watergate waved his hand.
"Yes, Sensei." Itachi was not too excited.
"This time it's the truth."
Itachi still didn't believe it.
Watergate looked at Itachi who was running away, took a sip of water, sighed, and picked up the phone, "Get up, go to Hatake's old house to see Kakashi, his old injury is acting up."
Then he dialed another number, "Shikaku? No, sorry, I'm not looking for you, Shikaku, I'm just calling you. Ah, ah, it's fine, it's fine, you do what you need to do. "
Watergate quickly hung up and picked up the receiver again … Then he thought for a long time apologetically before he remembered the number he hadn't contacted for a long time. "005408, you're in Konoha now, right? Why don't you use Thor's communicator? I forgot to bring it. Anyway, come to my office now. Okay, five minutes. "
Five minutes later.
A middle-aged man wrapped in a big trench coat appeared. "Sensei of Four Generations, it's rare that you called me over."
"Cut the crap." Watergate wanted to shave off the mustache under his good friend's sunglasses every time he saw him. "Why didn't you go to Fugaku's funeral?"
"I don't know him well." The man's voice was indifferent.
But Minato could still rely on a familiar tacit understanding to see the expression on that person's face. "I'm not talking nonsense. By the way, do you believe that there are ghosts in this world?"
"Why, Uchiha's vengeful spirit is causing trouble?"
"No, it's Hatake Maoso, Kakashi said he saw him last night." Naruto raised the corner of his mouth.
"Uh."
"The point is, I've seen him too." Naruto was very serious.
"…"
"I know you don't believe it. There are souls in this world, otherwise, there would be no need to invent a forbidden technique like Edo Tensei. But ghosts are rare after all. If ghosts really exist, people like us who have killed god knows how many people would have seen them long ago. " Watergate observed the man in front of him as he spoke, but the man was always calm. "Okay, okay, I won't hide it from you. Everyone says that since Kina's death, my mental state sometimes isn't very good. I admit that, I also take some medicine sometimes, so it's normal to see some hallucinations. If you insist that I'm wrong, I'll admit it, but Kakashi isn't, right? "
"…"
"Kakashi got a very healthy score in the evaluation test of the psychotherapy group."
The man was silent for a while, then spat out a few words. "The point is, what do you want me to do?"
Minato smiled. "I'll have to trouble you to investigate the place where Kakashi saw White Fang. Kakashi has sealed it, and only his own Thor coordinates are in it. "
"Alright." The man with the mustache and sunglasses nodded.
"There's more." Watergate saw that the man agreed and was a little apologetic. "Because it's a private commission, the task fee …"
"Treat me to a meal later."
"I thought you would ask me to help you take care of your family's little Shino."
"The son of the Aburame family doesn't need any special care."
Special care was never rare.
