Konoha, late October 61
Konoha, the Land of Fire
Mute Kato had just started work not long ago.
She received an "Urgent Mission" scroll from the black cat mask in Naruto's office.
On the scroll, it was written.
Please finish your work in 20 minutes. Put on your Jonin uniform.
Report to the interrogation unit's base. (No weapons or equipment allowed).
What kind of mission is this! At the specified time and place.
Next, it's time to explain the rules!
Shizune thought of the whispers in the corners of Konoha's Anbu in the past few days and the sudden increase of "urgent missions".
She was a little scared. When her teacher Hime Tsunade left her in Konoha, he warned her many times.
Even though it was Naruto himself who asked you to stay.
You were born and raised in Konoha.
But which Naruto isn't suspicious? Which traitor isn't born and raised in Konoha? Besides, since you were young, you've traveled thousands of miles with a guy like me who left without saying goodbye and didn't listen to orders.
No one can guarantee what kind of people you've met in the past ten years, or what kind of influence you've been subjected to. For Konoha, the unknown is dangerous. So if you want to stay in Konoha, you have to be prepared to be ignored or suspected for no reason. Don't ask why! Moreover …
Even if you were really treated unfairly, even if you were wrongly sentenced to death, your teacher, I, would not be able to help you.
First, there's no fairness in this world. Konoha still gives me face because Sandaime Sensei is still alive, and Konoha still has a use for me. Second,
After all, I left on my own accord … I can't guarantee that I can pass the "loyalty test." Third,
Even if I return to Konoha for you.
As long as Konoha bites you to death that you're a traitor,
What can I do for you?
Yes, then can you not stay.
When a prestigious current Naruto says to a nobody that Konoha needs you now, please stay, what's the difference between not staying and "disloyalty"?
Therefore, Shizune Kato stayed behind. As a medical ninja who just returned with her teacher's apprentice. She didn't rashly enter the important field first aid unit or research institute. Instead, she was temporarily assigned to the general clinic of Konoha Hospital. Of course, in addition to dealing with injuries and headache and fever every day, she also had Anbu missions. Yes, Mute Kato became a glorious member of the Naruto Anbu. His main task was to monitor his colleagues in the same department, the former subordinate of the Mist Ninja Zabuza, now Haku Huo. Her secondary mission was: "If you can get close to Yaoshi Dou, you can also see if that kid did anything excessive."
Mute once thought that since she received the mission of monitoring others, she had safely passed the routine "probation period". But now she thought that she was too naive. Maybe her monitoring target, Doctor Bai or Yaoshi Dou, was also monitoring her.
"So annoying." Mute Kato returned to the dormitory and changed into her uniform. She took off all the weapons on her body, including the scalpel. Then she looked at her watch, looked at the scroll on the table, and really had the impulse to run to her teacher. Anyway, it's not like her teacher didn't secretly tell her about the loopholes in Konoha's security system.
But impulse is impulse, do you really want to be a traitor just because of a little grievance? Shizune had seen many such pitiful rebellious ninjas outside the village. Perhaps they didn't really want to betray the village, but they were just hot-blooded youths. Perhaps they did something wrong in a moment of anger, or perhaps they spoke out for justice. But this time …. Naruto left the village and left almost all the Anbu behind, including Youjiwei, Konoha's field senior who rarely appeared. This was clearly the rhythm of a traitor. She hoped that she wasn't called to the torture department because someone deliberately framed her. Well, there were a lot of traitors who were framed and became traitors.
Mute Kato covered the pink lazy pig lying on the bed with a small flower quilt, closed the window, closed the door, and began to walk to the designated place. She found that she was being strictly monitored. This made her even more nervous. Although, with her status, she shouldn't have been subjected to severe torture. But in fact, compared to torture, she was more afraid of a simple lie detector test because she couldn't guarantee what she would say.
Fire Country, Naruto Building, Underground
Anbu Base
Interrogation Room
"Name."
"Mute Kato."
"Gender."
"Female."
"Will you do anything to harm Konoha?"
"I won't."
"Will you do anything to harm the leader of the Four Generations?"
"I won't."
"Oh, okay, you can go after signing.
”
Mute Kato, who was at the peak of the self-bleaching drug, dizzily looked up at the cat-faced Anbu in front of her. She thought she heard wrong. Just these three sentences! Why don't you ask a few more times! What a joke! Hey, hey, this is a loyalty test okay! It's a test for traitors or spies okay? Even if a genjutsu ninja didn't give her a "mission or life is more important" experiment, at least put on a show to wrongly accuse her and see her reaction …. Enough, the leader of the Four Generations didn't lie. Konoha really does need her, at least she can raise the average intelligence of the Anbu.
"Come and sign." But the cat-faced Anbu didn't feel that his IQ was low. He handed the two lines of paper in his hand to Mute.
Mute Kato decisively signed her name, and then got a large glass of honey water with a lot of ice, and was driven out of the interrogation room.
Outside the interrogation room stood the legendary Morinai Ibiki. He had brown skin, a wide chin, and a big ugly scar on his face.
"Drink it, if you don't drink it, it will take a long time for the self-bleaching drug to metabolize itself." Morinai Ibiki recognized Mute Kato. When he was still a ninja student, this senpai had already become a Genin and followed Tsunade-sama to rescue the wounded on the battlefield. At that time, he also helped her pass gauze.
But Kato Shizune didn't have much of an impression of this so-called sadist. As a medical ninja, she certainly knew the consequences of drinking this cup of honey water – abdominal cramps followed by diarrhea. "Sorry, it's not convenient for me to drink something cold today."
Morinai Ibiki sniffed the unusual smell of blood in the air. "Is it your period?"
"Yes." Mute, who was still under the effects of the self-bleaching drug, had to answer. Forget it. She's a medical ninja. Even genitals are just organs for her. Menstruation is just menstruation. But it was really embarrassing to let this obviously mentally abnormal interrogation captain continue. "If you have anything else to ask, just ask. If not, I'll go back to the dormitory. Don't delay me from feeding my little pig. My little pig can eat the most. It can roll around and …"
"Mute -san is so interesting." Ibiki listened to Mute's sudden silence and began to speak.
Mute, who couldn't help but blush, couldn't control her fists. "You have to know, I'm Senpai Tsunade-sama's disciple."
Ibiki nodded seriously. When he was a child, he was really lucky to see how Tsunade-sama beat up Jiraiya -sama. So, Mute Kato quickly got a cup of warm water.
And so, her ears were still echoing with the muted sounds of her "sobbing" voice. She hurriedly gulped down the water. She decided that she absolutely wouldn't speak before the effects of the drug wore off. However, the self-confession drug was the kind of drug that made people unable to help themselves from revealing their true self. "Thank you, Mori-senpai."
"You're welcome." Ibiki poured another cup of warm water and politely sent Mute Kato out. He wanted to tell Mute not to call him senpai, and that the test began the moment she received the scroll, and there were two Naruto Guard Captains waiting for her outside. But he couldn't, and he wouldn't. "Mitarai Anko, have you finished organizing the report?"
"What's the hurry?" A cat face appeared in the interrogation room, and the Anbu took out a folder. "It's rare to see you so kind to people. What, did you take a fancy to this woman? Well, when I was still in school, she was the topic of discussion among you little boys. If she could bandage a serious injury, you wouldn't be afraid, right? "
Ibiki flipped through the information and ignored Anko.
But Anko was a bit unforgiving. "Oh, for Orochimaru, not only did he give me the self-bleaching drug, but he also hypnotized me. After a few years, you still thought there was something wrong with me, but in the end, you let me ask an old woman who has been out of touch for many years. She's a medical ninja, so she should be good at resisting a little self-bleaching drug."
"But she didn't."
Ibiki closed the folder, sealed it, and signed it.
"Hmph."
"Hmph."
National capital of the Fire Country
King's Mansion
Naruto's Mansion
"Hmph."
"Hmph."
The humming sound came from Naruto Uzumaki and Lee Luoke. The morning was not the time for these two to be on guard duty. So after sweeping the floor and washing the dishes, the two of them were so bored that they grew fur under the sun.
The courtyard of the Hokage's Courtyard was actually not too small. There was a small pond with a precious variety of water lilies floating on top of it. Beside the pond, there were pots of flowers and herbs that didn't look cheap. So it was really small for ninjas. Although Naruto said several times that they didn't need to care about it, the Genin still didn't want to. Yes, Yasuji and Sasuke said that it was a "waste of natural resources."
So Lee Luoke, who loved to play side kick, and Naruto, who loved to step on water, could only compete in doing push-ups. But after a whole morning of push-ups …
"Do you two have to continue humming like this?" Sakura finally couldn't stand the boy's howling and covered her ears. It was also her rest time, but she still couldn't relax mentally. Originally, when she found out that the chef with thick meat was a retired Jonin from the cafeteria, she relaxed a little. But a few days later, the chef uncle found a piece of poison disguised as rock candy … The rock candy was not brought by Konoha, it was bought by Naruto -sama on the street. Our Naruto had been assassinated once. More importantly, the chef uncle said that since that thing, Naruto had been assassinated in the National capital. At the beginning, the Anbu could catch several groups of assassins in a day.
Sakura didn't dare to ask what that thing was, but … Sakura finally understood why Naruto took her team to fish and eat when they came to the National capital for the New Year. He also emphasized that "Do you still remember the poison identification class?"
The Four Generations were indeed like the rumors, they never did meaningless things.
However, the young master of the Naruto family.
Sakura looked at Naruto, who was crawling on the ground with Rock Lee, and sighed. Finally, she stepped on their backs one by one.
"It hurts."
"Ah, under the skirt of youth."
"Under the skirt my ass! Naruto, you're not allowed to show Xiao Li "Intimate Paradise" in the future! Xiao Li, although that was written by Jiraiya -sama, you only need to read "Legend of Perseverance"! "Sakura stomped on Naruto's back, then she retracted her foot and helplessly turned into the kitchen. It seemed that when she wasn't resting with Sasuke, it was better to spend more time with Konoha's seniors in the cafeteria. Although the seniors were very long-winded, it was better to listen to their stories than to listen to their whining and strange words.
When Naruto and Rock Lee saw that Sakura was really angry, they weren't in the mood to continue. Rock Lee couldn't understand, "Intimate Paradise" was written with youth and made people's blood boil, but why didn't the girls like it? So he decided to do another 20000 sit-ups. He felt that every time he finished reading the book, he would be filled with energy.
Naruto continued to lie on the ground and play dead.
The stone floor at the end of October was very cold, but Naruto didn't feel that cold. Unlike Kakashi who was cold all year round, or his father whose hands and feet would easily freeze when the weather turned cold, Naruto Uzumaki was always warm, as if there was a big pot of honeycomb coal burning in his stomach. He also wasn't tired. Unlike Kakashi who wanted to stop at the slightest thing, and his father who wanted to sleep whenever he was free, Naruto Uzumaki rarely felt tired. He was always full of energy.
Eero said that it was because he was the Force Of Human Column, Nine Tails. Although his father seemed to only want to seal Nine Tails in his son's body like a pickle, he didn't seem to have thought about how to use him. But the pickle also had an effect on the pickle jar.
It should be a good effect.
Ever since Naruto found out that he was the Force Of Human Column, he had been studying this problem. The conclusion was that nothing bad had happened. But why did his father always look like he was sorry for his son? Naruto thought about it, and the most likely reason was that he had been complaining about the ugly beard at the corner of his mouth since he was a child. So Naruto really hadn't complained about the beard for a long time. In fact, Naruto didn't even mention it, just like how he never asked his father why he was chosen to be the Force Of Human Column.
In short, we were bored. It was as if Young Master Naruto was going to do whatever he wanted. He jumped up like a carp and walked towards his father's bedroom. He felt like he missed his father. His father seemed to be busier in National Capital than in Konoha. He hadn't seen him for a few days. But the next second, he stopped in his tracks. This wasn't his home. This was the mission base. He was a Genin, not the young master of the Naruto family. "Also, my father isn't here right now."
However, in the Jounin dormitory, Bo Fung Watergate, who didn't want the Genin to see the Anbu Department Head in such a sorry state, was indeed calling for Naruto. In fact, he had called everyone in the courtyard. But the soundproof array that he personally drew was so good that no one could hear Hokage's call except for his good son who was connected to his heart. However, it didn't matter. As it turned out, even if he was alone, he could still deal with Kakashi. It would just be a little more strenuous.
Bo Fung Watergate wiped the sweat on his forehead and looked at Kakashi, who was tied up like a white snake, and clapped his hands.
Originally, he was full and continued to sleep well, but he did not expect Kakashi to suddenly act up again. Obviously, the effect of the drug was not over yet.
Watergate felt that something was wrong. This time, Kakashi's problem was probably not what Kakashi said himself. He suddenly overdid it. In the beginning, when Kakashi used exercise to increase his physical strength, he often overdid it. His Sharingan also acted up violently, but Watergate had never seen it continue to act up when he was resting.
Finally, Watergate couldn't help but take out Thor's communicator. He began to worry. "Tsunade-sama, calling Tsunade-sama."
"Not free." There were only two words on the other side of the communicator, and it was hung up.
Watergate had to dial again, and it was hung up again, and then he dialed again.
"Bo Fung Watergate! I shouldn't have taken this broken communicator you gave me! "
Watergate listened to Tsunade's energetic cursing, but inexplicably felt at ease. In fact, in terms of ability, Yaoshi Dou, who has been studying for 20 years, is already better than Tsunade, who has almost no progress. In terms of experience, Mute, who has been treating difficult and complicated diseases for the defected ninjas, is also not lacking. But when it comes to matters, Watergate found that he still wanted to hear the opinion of his senpai.
"Say something, don't think that you're so great just because you're Naruto."
Watergate listened to the voice on the other side. If it wasn't a casino, then he told her about Kakashi's situation.
"But what's the use of telling me this?" Tsunade said.
Watergate held the communicator and didn't know what to say. "Maybe it's because you always have a way, Tsunade-sama."
"I warned you a long time ago.
Because there's a limit to human effort. "
"…"
"I already said that it's not his thing, no matter how much he protects it, it's not his thing. A peach tree can be grafted to a plum tree because they are the same species, but a rabbit can't be grafted to a peach tree. Beep."
Tsunade hung up again, but Watergate didn't call back this time.
He put away the communicator and changed Kakashi's gauze and injected him as he did in the morning. Then he looked at Kakashi's eyes, which belonged to his other disciple Uchiha Belt Soil. The eyes were round, just like when they grew on Belt Soil's face.
"It's not difficult to choose, is it, Kakashi?" Watergate touched Kakashi's forehead, trying to soothe his disciple's twisted eyebrows.
The choice is not difficult, but the result is often difficult.
