October 10, Year 61 Konoha
In the Land of Fire, Konoha
The weather was fine.
It was very quiet.
Metke hung upside down like a bat on the tree closest to the gate of Konoha. This made the Anbu who had been on duty at the gate of Konoha and on that tree very nervous. He knew that Guy didn't want to disturb the mourning ceremony of all Konoha at this time.
Although the place where he was waiting was a little strange.
But those who didn't know might think... Who knew what this "old turtle who didn't walk the usual path" was doing.
"Kay-senpai, the mourning ceremony seems to be over."
Finally, the noise gradually rose.
Guy nodded.
It wasn't just a matter of politeness that he didn't go in immediately.
More importantly,
The mourning ceremony for the Nine Tails incident really had nothing to do with him.
Because before the Nine Tails incident, his family was already dead.
So the Anbu continued without waiting for Guy's answer,
"Ah, the mourning ceremony is really over. Kay-senpai came back to report to Naruto -sama. My lord will probably be in the office soon. Now there are rumors that you will be the successor of Chūdō -sama.
Congratulations. "
"But I didn't hear about it at all!" Guy opened his squinted eyes, opened his mouth, and revealed his teeth. Then, he ran into Konoha.
The proud blue beast who called himself Konoha had self-awareness. No, the beast was the one who knew the most. Uchiha Itachi was a famous young genius. He was the young patriarch of Uchiha.
Now he was the patriarch.
As the patriarch of the second largest family in Konoha, he had to be in the upper echelons. Then there was Kakashi.
His father was Konoha White Fang.
Even if his death wasn't glorious, he was still a great figure on the same level as the Sannin. Not to mention, he was Naruto's only disciple. As the son and disciple of a great figure, it was natural for him to become Naruto in the future. As for Huo Xuanmen, the inconspicuous Shihuo also joined Konoha's ninja family when the village was built. That kid also served the Four Generations as a guard captain for more than ten years. No matter how useless he was, he was still a trustworthy "one of our own". As for him, Metke, the son of a normal Taijutsu Genin from Konoha, it was only because he lived across from Naruto's disciple and was in the same squad as Naruto's guard captain that he was lucky enough to receive Naruto's attention.
Can he really be recognized by the big and small clans of Konoha that occupy 95% of the list of Jonin, and become a big figure that holds real power in Konoha? No one would say, "Why should the children of our clans be led by someone who has nothing to do with us?"
Yes, if Guy was also a member of these clans, he would also have doubts. Because the ninja world is a purely hierarchical world after all. Naruto orders Jonin, Jonin orders Chunin, and Chunin orders Genin. Especially in missions, this is absolutely mandatory. So here's the problem. Ninja is a dangerous and cruel job. They kill people, but they also have to be prepared to be killed at the same time. Dying for a mission is not a big deal. But what if there is a "Suicide Mission" that requires someone to die?
The most important right in each village is to assign missions. No one wants the person who performs the "unreasonable" mission to be "one of our own". Therefore, everyone needs a Kage to deal with these things fairly. In Konoha, the previous Sandaime-sama did a good job, and the later Four Generations also did a good job. Until ten years ago, the eldest son of the Sandaime-sama took the initiative to sign up for the Anbu's special mission assignment, and he really drew the "Best Lot".
Metke remembered when he was 20 years old, he often went to Minato's house to eat and drink. That day, he was playing poker with Kakashi and Genma in the living room, when he suddenly heard the Sandaime-sama and the Four Generations quarreling fiercely in the small study upstairs. That was the first time Guy saw the Sandaime-sama and the Four Generations quarrel. But after that, he often saw it in Konoha.
It was also that year that Sarutobi Konoha, who was still in his mother's belly, lost his father, and then lost his depressed mother. And all of this, if the Four Generations asked the Sandaime-sama, and heard the Sandaime-sama say, "No." It can be avoided. But …
So after that, the Four Generations, Naruto, was no longer in charge of assigning missions. He was focused on reviving Konoha's economy, which was to make money for Konoha. And the right to assign missions was naturally delegated to the various departments, until now.
Guy scratched his thick eyebrows and continued to run like the wind into the Naruto building. He jumped over the crowded mission hall and ran into the dark corridor. "Hey hey hey, Konoha's proud blue beast has arrived, may I ask if the Four Generations are in?"
Unfortunately, the Anbu on duty completely ignored him, until Youjiwei pushed open the door to Naruto's office and walked out. "Guy Jonin, please be quiet."
"Yo, if it isn't Oil-senpai! Long time no see, I heard that you're acting as the captain of Naruto's guard, how youthful ~ Let's have a youth recital! " Guy took out a scroll like a microphone. "The Four Generations summoned me, is he available now?"
Oil-senpai took the scroll from Guy's hand. "I have received your request, please wait for the summons."
"I came back from a faraway place." Guy secretly peeked through the crack in the door. "Is the Lord meeting someone else, how long do I have to wait?"
"He did say that you can come to see him directly when you come back." Oil-senpai sighed. "But Guy, did you forget, today is Naruto's birthday?"
"I didn't forget." Guy took out a small package that looked like a Christmas tree. "I prepared a gift for Naruto."
"Then you can go find Kakashi first." Youjiwei continued to sigh. "The Four Generations gave himself a day off to celebrate his son's birthday. He didn't come back after the moment of silence. "
"Oh." Guy put away the gift and ran directly to the door. He wanted to kick the big black door of Hatake's mansion, but when he saw the Dark Ops on duty, he remembered that Naruto was still living in Hatake's mansion, so he didn't knock on the door and shouted, "Kakashi, I'm back, let's have a youth adventure together."
"Kakashi isn't here." The Dark Ops on duty jumped out. "Senior Guy, don't be so loud."
"Then is the Four Generations at home?"
The Dark Ops shook his head.
"Where's Naruto?
"Young Master Naruto and the Four Generations are on vacation together, they'll probably be back after dinner tonight." The Dark Ops pointed at the opposite door. "You go home first, there's no one in our house, otherwise, with your loud voice, we would have …"
"Woof woof woof."
"Ah ah ah."
"Don't let Brazil bite my butt." Guy was pounced on by eight Ninja Dog. "Parker!"
"Woof woof, woof woof."
"Brazil, continue to bite this heartless guy." Parker squatted on the doorpost and waved his hands vigorously.
"Who's heartless? Why didn't you bite me when I helped you brush your hair and scratch your itch?"
Guy quickly crawled to his house opposite. "If you bite me again, I'll release the turtle!"
"Woof woof woof."
"Ha, even if you scream until your throat breaks, the turtle won't be able to crawl over." Parker commanded the dogs to press down on Guy's hand to prevent him from making hand seals.
"Ah ah ah." Guy barked even louder. "I have a birthday present for Naruto in my arms, if it's crushed, it'll be on my account."
…
"Stop." Parker hurriedly stopped him. "Put down the present, I'll pass it to Young Master Naruto."
Guy stood up and patted the dust. "I'll give it to you now, what should I give to the birthday party tonight?"
"Even if there's a birthday party, it's none of your business." Parker shook his feet. "It's all because of you. The fourth generation invited you for a meal several times, but you didn't come. In the future, it's always the father and son who go out to celebrate by themselves. They didn't even bring Kakashi along!"
"Oh." Hearing Parker's words, Guy regretted his stubbornness, but he really couldn't sit and eat with Golden Flash like this anymore. He would vomit. "Then Kakashi must be very disappointed. Where is he?"
"He went to run laps." Parker whispered in Guy's ear. "Don't talk nonsense."
Guy frowned his thick eyebrows again and touched his eyes. "Could it be that his old injury here is acting up again?"
"That's right. Once Minato-sama relaxes with him, he becomes lazy." Parker felt helpless towards his master.
"I should have asked him to take off his eyes." Guy really wanted to sigh.
"Tsk, if you have the guts, say it to his face. Others may not know, but don't you know? That thing is the only thing that the brat Belt Soil left behind, and it was Rin who changed it for him. "Parker scratched his face with his claws." Even Four Generations dare not mention it to him. "
"…" Guy really sighed. "Kakashi is so pretentious, he's not young at all, not manly at all."
Parker also nodded. "Don't worry about him. Anyway, even if the sky falls, the Four Generations will hold it up. Hey, Kakashi, you bastard master! Don't be lazy, you have to run until your whole body is covered in sweat! "
"Got it." Kakashi nodded to Guy and continued to run wildly.
Guy, as usual, chased after him like a cannonball. "Ah, Kakashi! Youth is so beautiful, let's have a youth run towards the sun! "
At the same time.
Land of Fire.
In a town.
The eagle flew very high.
"Dad, this is not good." Naruto sat in a roadside snack shop, eating small barbecued meat on an iron sign.
"Try this, I brushed some spicy sauce on it for you." Watergate Daddy handed his son a skewer of meat and bone.
Naruto chewed. "Well, dad, this place is really good. But what about us?"
"What about us?" Watergate chewed on a grilled mushroom.
"Today is the Day of Silence." The more Naruto thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. "There are so many people's deaths, and Naruto only left a shadow clone to preside over the ceremony, while he took his son out to go shopping. It's really …"
"Don't worry. No one will find out that it's dad's shadow clone. "Watergate smiled slightly. Anyway, he wouldn't say anything that could be seen, and no one would dare to ask if they had doubts.
"But." Naruto put down the iron sign in his hand. His appetite was really affected by his mood. "I still don't feel very good. Anyway, dad, I can't say. In short, it's miserable over there, and we're eating and drinking here. "
Watergate Daddy frowned. "Doesn't Naruto want to celebrate his birthday happily all day?"
"Of course, I want to."
"Then let's have fun." Watergate Daddy also put down the stick in his hand. "Anyway, we're already out. Wouldn't it be more embarrassing if we go back now? Ah, Naruto, do you know where dad will take you to play today?"
To be honest, Naruto wasn't very excited. Although no one in his family died directly because of Nine Tails' accident, many of his classmates in the ninja school had parents or relatives who had died. But it was rare for dad to be so happy, so Naruto immediately put on a cheerful face. "Where?"
"The amusement park, the amusement park!" Watergate Daddy was really happy. He had long wanted to go to the amusement park with Naruto. "To be honest, your mother has been clamoring to ride the Ferris wheel since you were a child. She said that when the Ferris wheel rises to the highest point, two people can kiss for a lifetime. I used to listen to it as a joke. Later, I felt that it would be great if I really took your mother to kiss her. "
"Dad ~" Naruto saw that his father was unhappy as he talked, so he quickly corrected his attitude and showed a sincere smile on his face. "If mom really went there, she would definitely go crazy. Although I haven't been on that wheel, I heard that it's very slow. We are ninjas."
"That's true. With your mother's hot-tempered character, she might pull dad and jump off before the wheel reaches the highest point." Watergate saw his son's concern for him from Naruto's eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He obviously wanted to accompany his son to have fun, but he always ended up being such a disappointment. "I'm sorry, Naruto."
"Why does dad always apologize?" Naruto raised his mustache.
"Hmm." Watergate seemed to have readjusted his attitude. "Maybe it's because dad is a good boy with good manners."
"Uh." Naruto couldn't keep up with his silly father's thinking.
"Anyway, just have fun today. Naruto.
You're 14 years old. You're not a child anymore. I can't let you go to the amusement park when you're 70 or 80 years old. Hurry up, dad wants you to have more memories when you grow up. "Watergate hugged his son." Ah, Naruto's little shoulders are getting thicker and thicker. "
"Dad, you're still weird today." Naruto leaned into his father's arms. "Do you miss mom again? Dad, it's okay. You don't have to be so secretive in front of me. It's not shameful to miss your wife. "
"Why are you so talkative today?" Watergate Daddy ignored his son's comforting words. "Anyway, after eating a few pieces of meat with chili, do you feel hot all over?"
"Yes." Naruto didn't understand.
"That's right." Watergate nodded heavily. "Dad has never been to an amusement park, so I don't have Thor's coordinates. That's why."
"That's why?"
Watergate Daddy spread out a small poster. On the colorful poster was a map of a newly opened amusement park. "That's why we have to run."
"Cherokee Amusement Park." Naruto looked at the poster. "It feels a little familiar. Dad, what's the name of the hot spring hotel we went to last time? "
"Cherokee House." Watergate Daddy put away the map, stood up, and stretched his arms and legs. "Warm up, Naruto!"
Naruto warmed up. "Do you remember it all?"
"I don't know." Watergate Daddy squatted down to help his son tidy up his shoelaces. Suddenly, he found another problem. "Son, we're going to the amusement park dressed like ninjas. Won't it be weird?"
"It seems weird, but I heard that ordinary children nowadays like to cosplay as ninjas." Naruto looked around quietly and moved his feet away. Mom, he was 14 years old, but his father still liked to treat him like a child. It was so embarrassing!
But Watergate Daddy didn't think so. "Naruto, don't move. If you don't tidy up your shoes, your feet will hurt if you run all the way."
"Dad, I'll do it myself." Naruto moved away again. For the first time, he found himself embarrassed.
"No." Watergate Daddy pulled his son's feet. "When dad gets old, Naruto will also help dad tie his shoelaces, right?"
"That's right."
"So, what's wrong with dad tying my son's shoelaces?" Watergate looked up and pulled his son's face. "This has nothing to do with age. Besides, this may be the last time dad will tie your shoes for you."
"Ah." But when he said this, Naruto was scared. "Dad … Dad, you, you … Aren't you feeling much better recently?!"
"What are you thinking about, son?" Watergate found the mistake in his words and gently knocked his son's head. "I still want to see you have many children and grandchildren."
"That."
"I'm going to let you take on field missions. If you do simple D-level missions at 14 years old, you will be laughed at by the newly graduated ninjas." Watergate Daddy sighed.
"Ah?" Naruto was a little confused.
"A birthday gift for your 14th birthday." Watergate rubbed his son's head. Naruto's soft hair gradually became harder as he grew older. "I can't accept that you're going to grow up like this."
It didn't matter whether he was willing or not.
…
