Konoha, at the end of October 61
Land of Fire.
National capital.
Prosperity.
Bo Fung Watergate walked on the road that was much wider than Konoha.
Looking at the crowd, he could not help but laugh.
He was a little emotional. He remembered his first mission to the National capital. It was still wartime, and smoke was rising outside the city, and the countryside was covered with withered corpses. But inside the city? The Golden Tile Red Wall was especially there.
The Ninja World War seemed to have never been related to this huge city. Of course.
As long as one didn't look carefully at those gutters and alleys.
In short.
At that time, Namikaze Minato rarely left the battlefield. He was ordered to carry a large box all the way to Thor.
After he was exhausted, he found that.
It turned out that under the dry ice in the box, there were only stiff animal corpses. In the end, these fresh animal corpses were all personally sent to the back kitchen of the king's residence by Watergate.
He also watched how they became precious delicacies named after game, appearing at the banquet of the king, nobles, and ministers under his protection.
Yes, the war caused the fields to be deserted, and the landlord had no surplus food. Then the nobles would eat less food and hire a few more ninjas to hunt in the dangerous forest. Anyway, ninjas were very cheap.
Those ferocious birds of prey that he had never seen before were also more dignified.
It was really sad.
Bo Fung Watergate could no longer remember how he completed this ridiculous mission and returned to Konoha. He only remembered that he had killed a rebellious ninja who was going to poison the water source. And for this damn rebellious ninja, he didn't take the opportunity to have a good meal! It was clearly said that the benefit of the unlucky mission was to be able to eat in the kitchen. Otherwise, why would he agree to the two missions of delivery and bodyguard to be rated as one mission? He was still a D-class.
In fact, Watergate had been indignant after, but he was a ninja, and obeying the orders of his superiors was a virtue, not to mention that he did this kind of work. With a knife, he could buy half a sesame seed cake with the money of killing a commoner, and he could buy a bag of rice with the money of killing a ninja. Until he became the famous Golden Flash.
The respected leader of the Four Generations, Naruto. Of course, it wasn't just the change in his identity that increased the price of hiring him.
More importantly, it was because he had finally become a senior leader.
Oh.
Only then did he know.
It's not that the National capital of the Land of Fire is so lucky to avoid the war every time, but the Lords of several major countries have already reached an agreement that they must never let their Shinobi attack the location of any Lord. So there was another agreement. If there is a rebellious ninja that the Ninja Village can't control, the other countries will also help to eliminate them together. We won't do it for free. We put a high price in the bounty office ~
"How disgusting," Watergate cursed under his breath as he recalled the time when he had just become Naruto. Konoha suffered countless casualties after the war. He could ignore those whose entire families had died, but what about those who were injured? What about the orphan? If he took care of Konoha's bankruptcy, he wouldn't care about everyone. So as Naruto, he must go to Konoha's superior unit, the National capital Lord, to ask for some compensation for everyone. After all, no matter how empty the national treasury is, it's better than a small Konoha. However, the Lord didn't want to pay a single grain of rice, he only wanted to give medals to Konoha Ninjas, and he dared to say that it wasn't pure gold!
Of course, the young Naruto also argued for it. He said that Konoha will go bankrupt, the Lord replied that if you do your tasks well, you won't starve to death. When has the National capital ever given you less task fees? Yes, it has never been less. He said that ninjas will leave, the Lord replied that Sarutobi had already resigned and set up a memorial tablet to take responsibility for it. Your position as the leader of the Four Generations is a new beginning. Do it well.
Depression in capital letters.
Minato began to regret looking for trouble to recall the past. And he felt that if he didn't curse a little louder, his stomach would hurt from anger. "Really, really, really disgusting!"
But Kakashi, who had been following Naruto all this time, thought that his teacher was still thinking about the two overlapping pieces of meat. "I say, Sensei, can't you be a little more reasonable? You can't stop people from having children just because they're ugly."
Watergate glanced at Kakashi. "I'm hungry."
Kakashi looked at the sky. It was only three in the afternoon. "Where did the two big bowls of rice you had for lunch and the fruit from the teahouse go?"
"I digested them."
"Even if your stomach is better, you can't eat as much as you do. Wait for dinner." Kakashi sighed.
"Hmph, you're the young master of the Hatake family who's never been hungry." Watergate felt that he was really hungry. "Being angry really does consume energy."
"Then calm down. There's no need to lower yourself to the level of two stinky pieces of meat." Kakashi really didn't understand why his teacher was always concerned about other people's bedside matters. "How about I go and threaten those ministers for you, Thor?"
"No." Watergate didn't hesitate. "When threatened by Naruto, they can comfort themselves that they're valued. But when threatened by a junior ninja, even their last bit of cover up is gone. I want officials who are obedient and can do their jobs well, not trash who's scared out of their wits. "
"…" Kakashi blinked. He didn't quite understand.
"…" Watergate felt that he only wanted Kakashi to live a peaceful life and not die young. "Forget it, let's buy some pastries and go back. I'm not in the mood to scare other stinky pieces of meat today."
Kakashi shrugged and looked at the white clouds in the sky. His intuition told him that he seemed to have been despised by his teacher, but what did he do to make his teacher unhappy?
"Kakashi, come to pay the bill. I didn't bring my wallet."
Kakashi saw his teacher poking his head out of the pastry shop in front of him. He hurriedly trotted over, but his hand froze. "Sensei, how much did you buy!"
"Kakashi, hurry up and get a piece of mung bean cake. The shop owner said that you can taste it for free." Watergate had three boxes of pastries in his hand and half of a mung bean cake in his mouth. He smiled with narrowed eyes.
"I mean, can you finish all of this?" Kakashi didn't take the mung bean cake from the attentive shop owner. Instead, he snatched the half in his teacher's mouth, carefully checked it, and ate it. He was relieved that it was safe and non-toxic.
So Watergate could only take another piece. Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, it was snatched by Kakashi.
Watergate stared at Kakashi.
Kakashi rolled his eyes and turned to the shop owner to ask for the price. When he learned that the shop owner still had enough money in his wallet to pay the bill, he hurriedly paid the bill and pulled his teacher out of the shop. "The price of goods is much more normal recently."
"You actually care about the price of goods?" Watergate looked suspiciously at his disciple who took the box of pastries in his hand. The hope that had just been extinguished rose again.
"It's so obvious." Kakashi didn't understand. "Otherwise, why would you be willing to buy three boxes at once?"
"Isn't the point that the money in your wallet was only enough to buy one box before, but now you can buy three boxes?"
"I only know that my teacher has a tendency to overeat."
Watergate scratched his head. "Kakashi, I bought three boxes because there are now ten people living in a courtyard. Four adults and six children. I can't take my son and eat happily behind closed doors and let the other children watch. It's so embarrassing. They're all Naruto's classmates."
Kakashi also wanted to scratch his head. "They're your guards. The guards have never seen you eat so awkwardly."
"It's always embarrassing." Watergate thought that it was very wise to choose the ninja team to come with him. But when he really came out …
"Why don't you just give Guy the transfer order and let him go back to the border earlier? Why do you keep him hanging like this?" Kakashi looked at Sensei's constipated expression, and while cheering for his childhood friend, he found it really funny. "Guy, hurry up and go back and bring back Sensei Ding. That way, won't Shisui and the guards be liberated? I really don't understand you. If you let the guards take on the middle and high positions in the security department, don't come to National Capital. Just stay in Konoha and you won't have so much trouble. "
"Sigh." Watergate sighed. He was even more depressed. Finally, under Kakashi's angry gaze, he opened the box of snacks and took out a piece of peanut pastry. His shoulders slumped. "You don't understand. Kakashi, why don't you walk around with me again? Naruto always complains that the clothing stores in Konoha are tasteless. I'll see if National Capital has anything better for him."
"Don't you have to work?!"
"Everyone is cleaning. Do you want me to stand aside and watch, or do you want Naruto to take a broom and sweep the floor with his subordinates?"
On the other side …
The King's Residence, Naruto's residence.
Actually, the cleaning was already over.
Furthermore, the first batch of guests in the residence was welcomed.
"Oh my, is this Young Master Naruto? You're so cute. "
Naruto Uzumaki looked at the little girl in front of him. She was dressed in a trifle and had her hair tied up in a bun. She was pinching her face like those Konoha aunties.
Fortunately, Young Master Sasuke, who was born in a big family, quickly stepped forward. When he saw the little girl dressed like a married woman, he remembered who the only young mistress of the King's Residence was. Without hesitation, he knelt down on one knee. "Greetings, Madam King."
"This lowly concubine greets you too. Please don't be so courteous, Ninja-sama." Of course, the former princess of the Land of the Wind could see the Uchiha family's emblem. However, her target today was Naruto of the Namikaze family. "Young Master Naruto's hair is indeed golden. Look, my hair is golden too. It's just that your hair seems to be darker than mine."
"Oh, my mother's red hair and my father's golden hair neutralize it." Naruto pulled Sasuke up and gave him a secret signal — — Go get a Ninja, Sakura Amateri, anyone!
However, it took a few seconds to summon someone. The blonde young mistress giggled a few times and then looked around. "Has the Four Generations gone out?"
"Yes, yes."
"I passed by Konoha when I was getting married. It's a pity that I didn't get to see the Four Generations in person."
"Yes, yes."
"I heard from my father that the Four Generations also has a head of dazzling golden hair."
"Eh." Naruto felt that this young mistress's brain circuit was even more complicated than his father's. Didn't she just say that her mother had red hair and her father had golden hair?
"Did the Four Generations say when they'll be back?" The young mistress continued to ask.
"No. May I ask why you're looking for Naruto -sama? "
"It's nothing important."
"Then when the Four Generations comes back, I'll have him pay you a visit?"
"Haha, as expected of Naruto's only son. As a Genin, you actually dare to say that you can order Naruto around." The young mistress found Naruto interesting.
At this time, Naruto had already glanced at Sakura from the corner of his eyes. He immediately gave her a secret signal. "Sister Sakura, what should we do? Kai said that he wants to watch the samurai at the door, and Yamato -sensei won't come out to protect his father's confidential documents. So now it's up to you. Come and talk to this young mistress about hair and makeup. I think she wants to talk about this. "
Sakura immediately took a step back and pulled Sasuke back. She kept blinking. "Young Master Naruto, I'm not the great beauty Infield. I'm Sakura with a wide forehead. You're on your own now."
"Hey, hey, you two are disloyal. Don't leave." When Naruto saw Sakura pull Sasuke and run, he almost shouted out the secret signal — — Daddy, Mommy, Kakashi and Jiraiya grandpa, who can save me? Why do I have to do such a thing? Although it's good to chat with a beautiful woman, I don't want to chat with someone else's wife ~ A single man and a single woman can't talk clearly ~
However, the young mistress didn't seem to care. "Haha, I'm sorry. I seem to have scared you two. Actually, you don't have to treat me as the young mistress of a country. I'm just like you two, still in my teens. "
"No, no." Naruto looked at the blonde hair and red lips in front of him. He swallowed his saliva and finally understood what his father meant when he scolded Kakashi. Even if he had watched "Intimate Paradise" a hundred times and memorized it, he still didn't know how to speak in front of girls — — Bah, bah, bah, bah, Naruto Uzumaki, that's the young mistress of a country. No matter how useless her husband is, he's still your father and Konoha's loyal target.
"What are you thinking about, Naruto -kun?"
Soon, Naruto heard a soft chuckle. Naruto opened his mouth. He finally thought of something normal to talk about with this princess of the Land of the Wind. "Um, I'm Eero. You know me, Eero from the Sand Hidden Village, right?"
"Yes, that scary ninja with red hair and dark circles."
"No, no, he's not scary at all. He's living in my house now. All he knows is to go to work, eat, and sleep. Let me tell you, he really has a big appetite."
"This is the first time I've heard of this." The young mistress of a country found Naruto's bewildered look even more adorable. She had been trained to be docile to men since she was a child. Naturally, she followed the man's lead and asked, "What does he like to eat?"
"He's a pure omnivore. He dares to eat anything and can eat anything." Naruto felt like he was flirting with a beautiful junior girl when he was in school. "He can even finish the food in Konoha's cafeteria clean."
"Haha, really?"
"Of course it's true."
Naruto didn't like being looked at with suspicion by girls. He quickly patted his chest and decided to show off his gentlemanly specialty. "He can even eat the half-cooked rice that I just learned how to cook."
"Ah, Naruto -kun can actually cook."
"My cooking is delicious."
The young mistress of a country was really shocked this time. In her impression, ninjas should be serious, cold-blooded, and cruel, just like Golden Flash, just like her father, Eero, who was always by his father's side. As for cooking? That's not manly. But disdain aside, since the young man in front of her was showing off his cooking skills, as a considerate and good woman, she had to show off her admiration.
So our young master Naruto was obviously intoxicated by the girl's admiring gaze. To be honest, all the women he had seen in his life were fierce Konoha ninjas. Not to mention their looks, their personalities were all manly. Even the mother in his father's memory … was the same! The only gentle ones he had seen were Sasuke's mother and Sister Saiko from the Yile Ramen family. "I can cook for you later. Braised pork ribs with scallion pancakes are the best."
This time, it was the former Princess of the Land of the Wind who spoke awkwardly. She really couldn't imagine a ninja, a powerful one who could kill people like cutting vegetables — braised pork ribs! Could it be … The little princess suddenly remembered the "puppet" wrapped in layers of bandages and full of the smell of antiseptic on the backs of those terrifying ninjas in the Sand Hidden Village.
"Don't you like braised pork ribs?" Although there was no flaw in the girl's expression, Naruto found a kind of fear, "My cooking is really delicious. My father likes it the most."
"Four Generations Leader?" The former Princess, whose feet were already trembling under her skirt, recalled her impression of Bo Fung Watergate — powerful, handsome, gentle, infatuated, cruel, cold, smiling fox, devil, crazy. Finally, she calmly nodded, "That's really normal."
"Of course, my father likes to eat whatever I cook." Naruto continued to be proud.
The former Princess was about to leave. She suddenly realized that it was unwise for her to excitedly come to see Naruto alone. "That, young master Naruto, since the leader is not here, I'll go back first. Please help me pass on my husband's and my greetings."
"Of course, no problem. I'll definitely tell my father." Naruto, who had a good impression of this lady, promised without hesitation, "Next time, I'll send some braised pork ribs to you."
"Okay, okay. It's my pleasure. "
"Oh." Naruto watched the two samurai escort the woman away. He felt a little strange, so he asked Metke, who was standing on the doorframe, "By the way, what did she come here for?"
Guy shook his head, "Women are really not hot-blooded animals."
Animal nature is the most important attribute of human beings.
…
Late Konoha 61
Naruto Uzumaki found that he still preferred gentle girls.
Sakura Haruno finally held Sasuke's hand openly.
