The most amazing thing in the world was when you saw him yesterday.
He was still a person.
When you saw him today,
He became a pile of soil. Sarutobi held his grandson Konoha Maru in his left hand and a brand-new white pottery pickle jar in his right hand.
He walked out of the back door of Konoha Hospital.
The sun was setting.
"Well,
Konoha Maru, don't cry. "Hiruzen was annoyed by Konoha Maru's sobbing.
He knocked on the jar in his hand.
"Your Grandpa Butler just went to a place far, far away."
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?
I'm about to graduate from Ninja School. I'm an adult. "Konoha Maru looked at his grandfather like he was a monster.
"Grandpa Butler is dead. He can't make delicious food for me anymore. He won't pick me up from school anymore. He hasn't seen me wear the forehead protector and become Hokage … Just like my parents.
He won't appear again! I already know what death is! "
"Oh, you talk big." Sarutobi pulled his grandson tighter. "Then why are you crying so badly? I took you to Uchiha's funeral a few days ago. Look at your brother Sasuke and brother Itachi. Which one of them cried? "
"Hmph, who knows if the two of them hugged each other under the quilt at night and cried secretly!" Konoha Maru raised his sleeve to wipe his nose.
Hiruzen put down the urn and took out a handkerchief to wipe Konoha Maru carefully. "Then you should cry secretly under the quilt at night with grandpa.
Since you say you're an adult,
You have to act like an adult. What should an adult do first when faced with such a situation? The funeral has to be arranged quickly.
The people who should be informed should be informed one by one.
Also, it's up to you to decide whether to bury or scatter the ashes. "
Konoha Maru blew his nose and didn't speak.
"This time, your Grandpa Butler isn't behind you to help you do that." Hiruzen picked up the urn again. "People only have one funeral in their lives. Don't embarrass him."
Konoha Maru suddenly stopped crying. He looked at Sarutobi with his mouth wide open. "Grandpa, are you talking about me?"
"Why? Are you scared?" Hiruzen blinked. "Your Grandpa Butler treats you like his own grandson. As a junior, it's your responsibility to make arrangements for your elders.
”
"…"
"Since you say that you're an adult, you can't even handle a funeral, right?"
"Tsk, it's just a funeral." As Konoha Maru spoke, his voice became softer and softer. "Even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen pigs run."
"Then grandpa will see how you run, little pig." Hiruzen took back his handkerchief and stuffed the white porcelain jar into Konoha Maru's arms. "I, your grandpa, have to go to the Logistics Department before I get off work to do some paperwork for your Grandpa Butler. The rest is up to you.
”
"…"
"Can you do it or not? If you can't, hurry up and say something."
"…"
"Sigh, you're still a child."
"I'm not a child!" Konoha Maru saw the contempt in his grandpa's eyes. He held the jar tightly in his hands, took a deep breath, and shouted, "I can do it, I can do it!"
The wind rustled the trees. No matter how loud a person's voice was, it couldn't beat nature.
It was just like how even if you didn't want to eat outside, you would still be hungry.
Konoha Naruto Building in the Land of Fire.
Naruto's office.
It was long past the time to get off work.
"Watergate, you have to change your bad habit of not being able to eat when you're anxious." Youjiwei, the acting captain of Naruto's guards, was hungry. He found that his Naruto really liked to call people to report on work during meals.
"Eat, eat, eat, you're not Dingzhuo." Our Naruto walked around the room with his hands behind his back. "You've been investigating for two days, and you're still telling me that you have no clues? Could it be that the so-called spy in Konoha was also my hallucination? Then tell me how Uchiha Fugaku died? "
But boss, even if it's urgent, it has to be done one by one. I just put the bugs away yesterday. It's already amazing that I can give you some feedback today. Zhiwei pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. He really wanted to throw these words directly at Bo Fung Watergate's face, but after all, that was no longer Captain Watergate. "Naruto, leader of the Four Generations, please calm down. Please sit down and finish the dinner on your table. Naruto that kid painstakingly made it for you, and Kakashi that kid sent it to you while it was still hot. But in the end, you only ate it when it was cold, and there was still leftover after you finished half of it. I'm not Genma or Kakashi. Let's make it clear, I'm only here to help you catch the ghost. If you have a stomachache later, I won't serve you anymore. "
"Shut up, who needs your help?" Watergate walked around a few more times with his hands behind his back, but he still sat back down and picked up his chopsticks.
"Why aren't you eating again?"
"The hospital doesn't allow you to eat cold food." Watergate sighed, picked up the stainless steel lunch box, and opened his mouth to spit out a small fire.
But Zhiwei looked at the burnt rice in front of Watergate and felt embarrassed, "You can eat it when it's hot."
"I'm sleepy after eating." Minato, on the other hand, felt that the slightly burnt fried river prawns seemed to taste better. "A lot of documents can't be delayed until tomorrow. Between eating late and eating full and inefficient, I choose the one with the least amount of overtime. Okay, I've calmed down. You can continue."
Zhiwei smelled the aroma of the hot rice and felt even hungrier.
This made him finally understand something. No matter how good their relationship was, Naruto was still a superior.
"Say it."
"I said there are no clues. What do you want me to say?" Zhiwei sighed, and he understood even more. Sure enough, superiors were completely unreasonable.
"… You say it as if I'm unreasonable." Watergate bit the last cabbage, "I remember when I used to be scolded by my superiors when writing reports, it was you who taught me how to report if there are no clues, right? It's been a day. Of course, you can't investigate the entire Naruto building, but there are only these people around me. You can help me rule out a few, right? "
"That's true."
"Then why don't you say anything?"
"Watergate, since you've calmed down and finished your meal, I can speak frankly." Then I'll get straight to the point. "Zhi Wei stroked his mustache.
"Of course, no matter who you suspect, you can speak frankly."
"But that's the problem." Zhiwei organized his words, "Such a large-scale surveillance of your own people … I was scared by the ghost of White Fang last time, so I didn't realize that you asked me to follow you to do this … Didn't you hate the Third Generation's Crystal Ball Technique?"
"So this is what you're worried about." Watergate sighed and raised his hand to swear, "So I only asked you to secretly investigate and find evidence! Don't worry, I'm only catching the mole. I don't think the person who poisoned Fugaku is one of our own. "
"…"
"If I expand the scope at will and cause the death of anyone, or suspect anyone without evidence, let me die in the hands of my son, Naruto Uzumaki."
"…"
"If you still don't believe me, I can't help it."
Watergate stood up and continued to walk in circles, "Zhiwei, you have such doubts because you haven't realized the seriousness of the matter. I'm really scared. I don't even dare to sleep when I think that there's such a person hiding in Konoha. That person knows Konoha very well. Do you know what kind of damage would have happened to Konoha if Mikoto hadn't acted decisively this time? Otherwise, I would have massacred Uchiha before they betrayed us. Otherwise, I would have had to kill the most suspicious person, Kakashi, with my own hands. It's the same as killing one of our own people. "
"…"
"Zhiwei." Watergate was anxious.
"One last question." Youjiwei stared into Watergate's eyes. He saw the fatigue and sincerity in those eyes, "Are you behind the recent disappearance of the Uchiha family?"
"No." Watergate also looked into Zhiwei's eyes without avoiding the question, "Fugaku left it to Itachi Liwei. The list was given to me by Mikoto. My Dark Group was just helping him keep watch. You can investigate it as you wish.
”
"Okay, I understand. I'll report any suspicious person to you. "Zhiwei nodded and simply walked out of the office. He knew that he seemed to have disappointed Watergate. No one wanted to be suspected by their own people, right? But I'm sorry, Captain Watergate. Youjiwei is just an ordinary person with selfish motives. He only has you as his friend in this life. He doesn't mind taking a knife for you and dying for you if you don't handle the dirty matters well, even if he will be killed in the end. But after all, he's not a loner. So when there's a possibility that something will affect his descendants, he must first confirm whether you're still the same person as before.
But is Bo Fung Watergate still the same Bo Fung Watergate as before? Bo Fung Watergate, who sent away Zhiwei, didn't know. He only knew that he was suspected by the person who shouldn't suspect him the most. This made him a little uncomfortable, so much so that he suddenly felt a little less confident. "Have I really changed a lot? Kina. "
"Okay. I knew you weren't in the mood to come out today. "After a long time, Watergate took the photo on the table and began to clean up the lunch box.
The leftovers in the lunch box were poured into the toilet and flushed away. Then they were buttoned up and wrapped in cloth. Watergate wiped his hands, looked at the sky, turned on the lights, and prepared to continue his work. But in the end, he still couldn't concentrate. "Come."
"Yes, Sir." The black dog mask man saluted on one knee.
"Help me send away these signed documents."
"Yes, Sir."
Watergate sighed, took a few important documents to read before going to bed, and then stuffed the rest into the cabinet, locked it, and left.
Konoha, the Land of Fire
Old House of Hatake
"Woof woof woof."
"Woof woof, woof woof."
"Naruto Uzumaki, don't go too far."
"Hatake Kakashi, don't go too far."
When Bo Fung Watergate appeared in the backyard with the lunch box bag, he saw this scene — under the dim moonlight, the holly against the wall was already bald, all the exercise equipment was lying down, shurikens and iron dysentery were everywhere, and two people and eight dogs were fighting together. It was an inexplicable harmony.
"Dad, Dad." The first to get up from the ground was Naruto, and he rushed straight to Watergate. "Did you eat dinner? Was the fried river shrimp delicious? I just learned a new dish today. "
The second to get up were Kakashi and the eight dogs. "Woof woof, Sensei, Four Generations."
"Were you bitten by a dog or did you bite a dog?" Watergate hugged Naruto, who was hanging around his neck, and looked at the bald dogs and the dog hair on Kakashi's mask. He felt a little confused.
"Naruto, get off your father!" Kakashi didn't answer the teacher's question. He grabbed Parker and the other dogs, who wanted to say something, and threw them over the wall. He clapped his hands. "Look at your height now, your feet are touching the ground, and you're still hanging around Dad's neck. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"I like it." Naruto quickly lifted his two legs.
Watergate was also very cooperative. He hugged Naruto and spun in circles while shouting, "Spin in circles, grow taller, little Naruto, you won't be scared."
Kakashi listened to Naruto's "hahaha" laughter, and his teeth itched a little. "Sensei, why are you back so early today? Didn't you say you were working overtime?"
"I'm full and sleepy, so I don't want to work anymore, so I came back." Watergate handed the documents and lunch box to Kakashi, but he asked his good son, "Naruto, was your big brother Kakashi good today?"
"He wasn't good at all. He still has 20 laps to run." Naruto complained without hesitation. "Just now, Parker asked him to run laps, but he didn't want to, so they started fighting."
"You're talking nonsense." Kakashi hurriedly explained, "I was saving it for bedtime exercise. Bah, no. Sensei, we started fighting just now because Naruto wanted Parker to give him a puppy, but Parker didn't want to and hid behind me. "
This time, it was Watergate who was embarrassed. In his mind, he kept picturing his good son in a groom's suit, holding a male dog Parker in a phoenix coronet, and saying that he wanted to give him a grandson.
"Hey, Dad, what nonsense are you thinking about again?" Naruto looked at his father's expression and knew that his father's brain cells had flown away again. He hurriedly pulled Kakashi away. "Kakashi, you haven't even been to school for a few days. Don't speak if you don't understand.
”
"Did I say anything wrong?!" Kakashi, who still hadn't reacted, pulled Naruto away from his teacher. "Look, you scared Parker just now."
"Kakashi, you did it on purpose, didn't you?" Naruto looked at his father's eyes, which were even more imaginative, and finally got angry. "Dad, come back to your senses. I wanted Parker to be my Ninja Dog, but Kakashi didn't want it. Other Ninja Dogs can't talk, so I asked Parker what kind of little bitch he likes. I'll raise the puppy later! I really didn't do anything bad! Dad, you have to believe me. "
"Oh." Watergate came back to his senses and yawned. "So you want a puppy. Naruto wants to raise a pet? It's your birthday soon. Dad will give it to you. "
"It's not a pet." Naruto looked at his father's confused eyes and sighed. "I want a psychic beast that can talk like Parker."
"The little toads in Mount Myoboku can talk too." Watergate poked Naruto's pouting mouth.
"The toads disappear without Chakra." Naruto hugged his father's arm and looked at Kakashi. "Forget it, Dad. Don't think about it. You're sleepy. The water is ready. Since you came back early, why don't you take a bath?
”
"Mm, that's a good idea." Watergate pulled Naruto to the bathroom. "Naruto, take a bath with Dad."
"Okay, okay. I'll help Dad scrub his back." Naruto hugged his father's arm even tighter. Although he wanted to talk to his father, his father looked really tired today.
"What a good son." Watergate looked at his son's smiling face and suddenly felt his mood inexplicably better. "Kakashi, do you want to join us?"
"Okay." Kakashi looked at Naruto's eyes that had the words "Don't come over" written on them and nodded even more firmly. But in the end …
First, he had to instruct the Black Ops to clean up the backyard, then he had to help his teacher get the lunch box, then he had to go to Konoha Hospital to get his teacher's medicine before bed. After that, he had to run laps. By the time he came back from running laps to the hospital and really needed to take a bath, the father and son would already be in bed whispering to each other.
"Dad, you're not sleepy anymore?" Naruto saw that the light in his father's room was still on and pushed the door open to walk in.
"It seems so." Watergate Daddy leaned against the headboard and looked at the documents.
"Then talk to me, okay?"
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
"Anything is fine. I just want to talk to Dad." Naruto blinked his big eyes and looked a little expectant.
"Okay, let's talk until you fall asleep." Watergate decisively put down the pen in his hand and gave Naruto half of the bed. "Sorry, Naruto. I've been a little busy recently."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Naruto took off his slippers and crawled into his father's bed. "Your son will be officially 14 years old in a few days. I won't cry and bite you to stop working to play with me anymore."
'I hope you'll never cry, throw a tantrum, and bite people.' Watergate thought this in his heart, but what he said was true. "Oh, so it's time for my Naruto to have a little girlfriend. Did you fall in love with a girl but don't dare to confess? "
"Dad, what are you talking about? I haven't fallen in love with a girl yet." Naruto leaned on his father. "But if that day comes, I'll definitely tell Dad first. If Dad doesn't like a girl, I won't like her either."
"Pfft." Minato's father laughed out loud. "As long as you don't become a bachelor like Kakashi, you'll be fine."
"I'm not as unattractive as him."
"But there are obviously a lot of girls who like him."
"Looking at a handsome guy and bringing him home are not the same thing, Dad."
"Is that so, is that so?" Watergate laid down the pillow and lay down with Naruto. "But your mother agreed to be with me because she saw how handsome I was."
"But Dad, you said last time that you were a hero who saved the damsel in distress. Mom fell in love with your heroic spirit."
"Is that so?"
"Isn't that so?"
"Probably so."
Even when the sky is dark, it will always be bright again.
