Konoha, October 23, 61
It was still a sunny day.
Country of Fire.
National capital.
King's Mansion.
Naruto's courtyard.
Speaking of the courtyard.
It was just a small courtyard with a few rooms. It was hidden in a remote corner of the King's Mansion, providing a relatively stable place for Konoha's National capital personnel to settle down. As for the courtyard that was later called Naruto's courtyard.
That was because only the head of the Four Generations, Naruto and Bo Fung Watergate, would often need to stay here to work.
But just like that.
He had never seen Naruto stay for more than three nights.
Then.
What if Naruto really had something to do and needed to stay for a few more days.
For example.
The young King of the Country of Fire and the Water Country were some areas where the two countries could cooperate.
Launching a more in-depth negotiation — in-depth meant that it was impossible to finish the negotiation in three days.
Then how many days?
Konoha's Genin Haruno Sakura felt a lot of pressure when she thought of such questions. It was even more stressful than that day in the hospital's training room, when she was publicly informed by Naruto's office to return to the team to carry out a mission. Because in front of her was no longer a corpse that needed to be dissected by her hands, but a small kitchen. Sakura heard that this kitchen had always been there. However, many years had passed.
The four walls were still clean and tidy. But today, there was a large refrigerator that was specially brought over from Konoha. Sometimes, there were vegetables, fruits, grains, and some meat in the refrigerator.
Yes, their group of 10 people needed to stay here for more than three days. It was impossible for them to buy takeout every day or freeload food and drink in the King's kitchen. Fortunately, Sakura didn't need to cook. Following the refrigerator was a fat chef whose legs were shaking and the meat on his stomach was shaking. He was sharpening his knife. The chef was responsible for making sure that Naruto and his entourage weren't hungry at all. And Sakura's mission was.
She was responsible for the safety of the food and water of everyone in Konoha's temporary residence.
Including Naruto's — Ah! She was only a 14-year-old Genin, okay? An intern who hadn't even passed the official test. How could she be alone?
One person … The last time he came here for the New Year, it was Naruto's guards who were in charge of him.
Annoying!
But this time, Naruto strangely refused to bring his guards. In addition to the Anbu Minister Kakashi, he picked two Jonin instructors — Yamato sensei, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura from the Yamato class — Yamato sensei, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura from the Kamikaze class — Kaiju Jonin, Lee Rock, Hyuga Neji, and Tian Tian from the Kamikaze class — Field defense.
There were enough people, but …
"I hope there are still Dark Operations in the dark." Sakura could only sigh.
Uzumaki Naruto, who was in the courtyard outside the kitchen, sighed. After lunch, they set off from Konoha and arrived at the courtyard within a Thor. Then, his father took Kakashi to work. As for the rest of them, they cleaned, fetched water, and stood guard. Why weren't they the ones standing guard?!
Naruto looked to the left at Hinata Yasuji, who was standing at the entrance like a telephone pole. He looked to the right at Lee Rock, who was standing on a tree branch. Then, he looked up at Tian Tian, who was lying on the roof. Just as he angrily threw down a rag, Sasuke hit it with something. Naruto caught it and saw that it was still a rag.
"Don't be lazy." Sasuke reminded him in a low voice. "Also, don't talk about your superiors' orders. Don't forget that we're on a mission!"
"Yes, yes, following orders is a virtue." Naruto was drowsy from the afternoon sun, but when he saw Sasuke's serious expression, he could only become serious. He washed the two rags in a bucket and hung them up. Then, he yawned. "Sasuke, we've swept the floor, wiped the windows, and wiped the table. What's next?"
Sasuke pulled out a few large suitcases and pointed at them to Naruto. "Let's go back to the dormitory. Rest up and wait for our summons."
Naruto and Sasuke picked up the suitcases. "Sasuke, when no one summons me, do you think I can go shopping? My dad seems to like the razor I gave him two years ago. It's already blunt, and he hasn't changed it. I want to see if there's a similar one in that shop. "
Sasuke admitted that his father-obsessed childhood friend was filial, but he said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. If you want to buy something, wait until the mission is over. This time, we're not Naruto -sama taking you out to play because his son lost a bet. Let me emphasize again, we're here on a mission. A mission! "
"Sigh …" Naruto nodded and continued to sigh.
Sasuke listened to Naruto's listless slacking and didn't have a good way to comfort him. He knew how much Naruto looked forward to another field mission like the one in the Wave Nation. And a few days ago, Naruto had mysteriously told him that on his 14th birthday, Naruto -sama had personally admitted that his son had grown up. But who would have thought that the outcome would be like this? Their team did receive a field mission, and it was a B-rank mission that might become an A-rank mission. But the mission was to accompany Naruto for a meeting at the National Capital! To Sasuke and Sakura, being able to be with Naruto as ninjas was an honor no matter what. But to Naruto, it was just a change of location with his father for a few days. Especially since their Yamato Team wasn't made up of Naruto's bodyguards. It was the internal work of the field team — running errands, cleaning, making tea, and washing dishes.
"Sigh …"
Naruto sighed so much that even Sasuke wanted to sigh. Especially when Sasuke followed Naruto into their dormitory. The dormitory was the one Naruto had slept in before. Although Sasuke clearly knew that he would have to sleep in a room for four people this time, it definitely wouldn't be as spacious as during the New Year's Ball mission. But Sasuke saw that the original carved wooden bed had become two bunks with iron pipes. The iron pipes were still rusty, and the bed board was still made of narrow and thin planks with insect eyes … It could only be said that the treatment of the young master of the Naruto family and the cannon fodder genin was indeed much worse.
But Naruto didn't care about this. He quickly picked a bed and opened his suitcase to put down the bedding. "Sasuke, can you sleep on my upper bunk?"
"Okay, in case you don't fall down in the middle of the night." Sasuke handed over his luggage and motioned for Naruto to help him. Then he put Lee and Yasuji's suitcases under the other bed, clapped his hands, and began to tidy up his and Naruto's bigger suitcases. Inside the suitcases were shurikens, explosive charms, ninjutsu scrolls, protective gear, and other commonly used ninja equipment.
Naruto quickly jumped down from Sasuke's bunk and helped Sasuke put the equipment in the suitcase on a shelf so that it would be easier to retrieve in case of an emergency. This time, Naruto was much more serious than cleaning and making the bed. Sasuke didn't know, but Naruto still remembered clearly how hated his father was outside of Konoha. "Sigh …"
"Sigh."
In the room next to Naruto's room, there was also a sigh. It was Metke. He didn't grimace, nor did he give a thumbs up or make a noise. Instead, it was as if he was a different person, quietly moving his eyes and carefully inspecting the room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a small living room. The living room was very large and had a comfortable sofa. It was convenient to receive guests, but it wasn't safe enough. Further inside was the master bedroom. The bedroom was very small. There was only a large desk, a single bed, and two cabinets. It was very convenient for both work and rest. However, having both functions meant that it was not safe enough with people coming and going. Then there was the bathroom. There was a large window with good ventilation, but there were more hidden dangers, especially when the number and quality of manpower were obviously insufficient.
In short, Guy was now standing under the door frame between the living room and the bedroom, thinking about how to make the Genin do the Anbu's work while watching Yamato tidying up Naruto's luggage. Different from the Genin's luggage, Naruto brought most of his clothes. Guy had already seen Yamato hanging Naruto's shirt, suit, black, and gray three-piece suit and the same accessories in the wardrobe. There were also informal but also formal traditional clothes, as well as Anbu's uniform multiplied by two, Jonin's uniform multiplied by two, two pairs of pajama pants, two bathrobes. Plus a sandstorm cloak, a black hooded cloak. Finally, there was a flame decoration, written with blood-red words "Fourth Generations Naruto" snow-white cloak. "Hey, Yamato, I remember that Fourth Generations -sama just wore a cloak when he went out."
"You know, Kay-senpai, Naruto's cloak is always damaged quickly." Yamato first showed the proper respect to the senpai, who would change his style in the mission, and then continued the work at hand. For example, he laid Naruto's cloak flat on the desk, picked up a mini iron, and carefully ironed the creases. "There must always be a spare."
"Um." Guy nodded and suddenly realized that he was a little stupid. Naruto's cloak was also clothes, and clothes were always dirty and washed. What's so strange about having one or two spares? However, "Yamato, you actually know how to ironing clothes."
"Kay-senpai, I haven't seen you often in recent years. Maybe you won't recognize me if I take off my mask." Yamato smiled, "But I was indeed one of the core members of the Fourth Generations -sama's guard. Cough, I shouldn't tell you, but since we're on the same mission now, it's not a violation. I'm the one who uses Mokuton."
As soon as Guy heard it, he immediately understood. In fact, he still couldn't connect the former thin and small Anbu boy with the codename "Tenzō" to the tall and strong Jonin Yamato in front of him, but it was always good to know that his teammate was an elite. "Since it's you, this mission will be easier. After all, you and I are now Genin."
"Don't worry, Kay-senpai, those kids just haven't had time to be promoted." Yamato watched Metke go out of the door, and then took out Naruto's underwear and socks, a plastic bag of commonly used medicine, and a first aid kit from the box.
Farther away
The King's Mansion
The King's Bedroom
Our young king actually wanted to cry more than sigh. He lay on the hard antique carved bed, silently wrapped himself in the golden silk quilt, and trembled like a chrysalis that was about to turn into a butterfly. But he also knew that the miracle of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly had nothing to do with him in this life — he was just afraid of Bo Fung Watergate, instinctively afraid. Even if he told himself 100 times that he wouldn't kill him, he would still be weak from head to toe. Especially this time, he was so weak that he didn't want to get up in the afternoon.
Well, that person was the protector of the entire Fire Country, he was free to sleep wherever he wanted. But last time Naruto stayed in the National capital for more than three days, what happened to the National capital? His father, brother, and sister all died of illness, suicide, and madness in less than a month.
But the two outside his bedroom obviously didn't have that kind of consciousness.
"Mother, isn't the small courtyard of the Fourth Generations -sama a bit shabby?" The young king's new daughter-in-law was discussing with her husband's mother how to entertain the guests.
In fact, the king's mother also liked this kind of lively topic. "That's right, it's okay to stay here usually, but it's a bit impolite to stay here permanently."
The young daughter-in-law was very happy to see that the elders supported her. "And they even prepared a high-class hotel for the people from the Water Country, but it's so crowded for our own people. It's not like there's no space in the king's residence."
"Well, let's go back and tell the Hokage about it." The mother-in-law said so, but when she thought of her son who was still "lazing in bed" in the inner room … she decided to tell the truth. "My daughter-in-law, your mother is just a little maid who hasn't seen the world. You're different. You're the little princess of the Land of the Wind. You've been married for a while now, can't you see who's in charge of the Fire Country?"
"Actually, sometimes I think that it's not bad if the Land of the Wind has such a Kazekage." The little princess didn't answer directly. In fact, before she got married, she knew who she had to please if she wanted to live a comfortable life for the rest of her life.
Unfortunately, that Naruto didn't care at all whether he was being flattered or not. Apart from national affairs, his focus had always been on his own children.
National capital, Street Market.
Teahouse, private room.
"Sensei, drink some water." Kakashi put down the teapot and continued to observe the house opposite with the binoculars.
Our Naruto picked up the teacup and gulped down the water, and then continued to be depressed. First of all, although he listened to Shibi's advice, he still felt vexed for his own choice. A Hokage being forced by a cowardly nail to the point where he can't even return to his own home, this can be considered as one of the world's oddities. Secondly, he knew that Thor was often called the world's most shameless ninjutsu by those who had his coordinates, but it wasn't until today that he truly felt how shameless it was. He just planned to ask Thor to go to a minister's side, first, to tell him how to deal with the Water Country, and second, to control a person, he had to silently threaten him from time to time. But, but who would have thought that he would be able to see a live spring (° A ° `), that fat country's worm would actually proclaim in broad daylight (• ∀ ∀ • ́)
) Obscene!
Although Watergate didn't deny that when he and Kina first got married, they also liked to do it whenever they wanted, but that was when they were young couples on their honeymoon! This minister was the same age as three generations … Well, if he was on top of a beautiful woman, he could say that he was an old tree blooming, but, he was on top of Lady Shinji, the first wife of the Fire Country's disgusting old Emperor, the old woman with a big mouth and a body full of fat. When she walked, she would twist her waist like a bucket and speak with a trembling voice. It really tarnished his memories of the beautiful married life with Kina.
"Kakashi, are they done yet?" Finally, Watergate drank a pot of water and became more and more impatient.
"They finished a long time ago." Kakashi put down the binoculars, "They were hugging and chatting. I was curious and read their lips, they seemed to be saying bad things about you. "
"I saw that it was inconvenient for them, so I didn't stop for a second. They didn't see me, so why did they scold me?" Watergate looked at his disciple suspiciously.
"Even if you were found out, you would only become more hateful from the most hateful to the most hateful." Kakashi continued to pick up the binoculars, "Oh, now they are saying that if they catch you one day, they will first skin you, then cut your meat, and roast you."
"They can only hope for a little bit." Watergate suddenly became interested in Kakashi, "Kakashi, why are you looking so carefully? It's not disgusting."
"What's so disgusting about a man and a woman having sex?" Kakashi continued to hold the binoculars and answered absent-mindedly, "And I seriously suspect that these two pieces of meat are true love. Sensei, why did the old emperor suddenly fall ill when he was fine? Could it be that you are helping this adulterous couple take the blame? "
"I don't know about that." Watergate looked at his disciple who was still holding the binoculars, "But I think Kakashi, you really should find a girlfriend, fall in love, and get married."
"Why are you suddenly talking about this?" Kakashi finally put down the binoculars, "Don't talk nonsense like you saw the White Fang."
"No, I'm just thinking." Watergate suddenly felt a little unsure if he should really discuss this topic with his disciple, "All these years, I've only seen Shisui Genma and the other bad boys go to the red-light district in your appearance, but I've never heard of you going there yourself."
Kakashi - _ - | |.
"Well, Kakashi, if you're sick, you need to be treated early." Watergate finally said, "Just watching 'Intimate Paradise' is nothing …"
"I'm not sick." Kakashi hurriedly interrupted his sensei, almost grinding his teeth.
"Don't hide your illness for fear of treatment."
"I'm not sick!" Kakashi was once again struck down by his sensei's logic. At this moment, he really wanted to refute. If he was sick, then how could a man who had not touched a woman since his wife died and was under the watchful eyes of his bodyguards almost 24 hours a day solve the physiological problems of a normal man?!
This question itself was a good question.
