November 17th, year 61 of Konoha,
After two days of gloomy weather,
The sun finally shone through the layers of haze. Except for a few white spots under the roots of the trees,
The snow from a few days ago seemed to have left no traces. But the temperature had dropped after all, and there was only a silent red-haired panda left in the huge Hatake mansion,
Deserted was inevitable.
Bo Fung Watergate was not a person who liked to be noisy,
He also preferred to have more obedient children around him,
But that was how people were,
There was always some contradiction between their expectations and what they really wanted. For example,
In ancient times, there was a Lord Ye who loved dragons. Today, after a few days of peace, he felt that there was not even a sound in the house,
Naruto, who really couldn't stay any longer. "So, I Eero, since the Ichibi in your body won't come out to cause trouble anymore,
This long is enough for everyone to believe that you have the ability to control the Ichibi … "
"I don't want to go back to Sand Village." I Eero was sitting across from Bo Fung Watergate, sitting in the small dining room of Hatake's old house, eating takeout from the Konoha cafeteria, without even looking up. He respected Naruto, the leader of the Four Generations of Konoha, but he also feared him. Although talking while eating didn't show respect or fear, he still did it, and he knew that this attitude would help him curry favor with Naruto's father.
It had to be said that..,
My Eero's intuition once again prevailed over reason. Our Naruto really didn't feel offended,
Instead, he was even more amiable as he picked up a braised chicken wing from his bowl and gave it to me Eero.
My Eero gnawed on the chicken wing fiercely and wolfed it down. To be honest..,
He had thought..,
Would his future life be like this, just like that "Ghost Zabuza" who surrendered halfway, although he couldn't avoid being monitored, other than that, he wasn't much different from other Konoha Ninjas. At least no one treated him as a monster and ran away when they saw him. Instead, some familiar guys would nod at him when they met on the road, and occasionally, a thick-skinned girl would invite him to lunch. Moreover, everyone knew that as the son of the Kazekage, the Sand Force Of Human Column, staying in Konoha would bring all kinds of benefits to Konoha. At least, Naruto didn't go to the Land of the Wind at the same time, it was enough to show who was superior between Sand and Konoha. So he really didn't understand why Naruto suddenly bring up that topic. of Konoha. Perhaps, there are some new benefits that he didn't think of after leaving Konoha? After all, the Wind and Fire Alliance had already become the Wind, Fire, and Water Alliance. Once the Kokyoto-level contract was on the right track, it wasn't something that a mere Kazekage could shake. But, "Me staying in Konoha is still good for Konoha."
Bo Fung Watergate's smile widened, "Okay, okay, okay, I won't leave. Who did you learn from, kid? You didn't even let me finish. Didn't Konoha build a dormitory for single people recently? I was planning to give you one, if … "
"Okay." My Eero nodded, finished his meal in a few bites, put the plate in the sink, and walked out.
"Hey!" Watergate was speechless, "Where are you going? I haven't finished speaking."
My Eero only replied, "I'm going to pack up and get ready to move."
This time, it was our Naruto who responded with an "Oh". He suddenly felt that he couldn't keep up with the youth's pace. But achieving his goal wasn't a bad thing. And so, he continued to eat his lunch slowly until he finished all the food on his plate. Yep, he was a little full, and his throat was itchy. Watergate took a sip of water and saw the bottom of the cup. "If I keep drinking like this, I'm going to become a water tank."
"You won't feel so much if you change to a bigger cup." Huo Xuanmen popped out from the shadows like an ordinary Shadow Guard. Naturally, he held a kettle in his hand to refill the cup.
Watergate rolled his eyes at Genma. He couldn't be bothered with this lackey chief of staff anymore. After all, this kid's reputation as a "bootlicker" had already spread to the Land of the Wind and National Capital. And so, our Naruto finally got over it. He looked at the steaming cup next to his hand and began to feel dissatisfied with his subordinate's service. "In the past, the water you poured was just warm enough to drink."
"Sir, it's not good for the stomach to drink water after a full meal. Did you forget?" Huo Xuanmen put down the kettle and rolled up his sleeves to wash the dishes.
"Okay, thank you. I'll remember this time. In the future, I'll pour a cup of boiling water and let it cool down before drinking it." Watergate hugged the cup and sat under the sun by the window. Then, he opened the tabloid by the side. He had never read such things. The groundless rumors of small celebrities were not as interesting as the dark secrets of National Capital. But he had just eaten, and he didn't allow the horse to take a nap or work. He couldn't just sit there and do nothing. "Hey, Genma, I think it's not a bad idea for a ninja to marry an entertainment star. Bodyguard and employer.
"Milord, are you planning to walk down the path of forced marriage and never return?" Xuan Jian sighed.
"Who told you to dawdle?"
"But marriage depends on fate." Genma really had a headache. If it were Kakashi, he could just point at the photo of Mrs. Kina on the table and all his worries would disappear. But he wasn't Kakashi. "It's a matter of life. It's good for everyone to be cautious. Don't worry, sir. I'll get married eventually. Maybe my wife hasn't even graduated from ninja school. "
"Pa." Watergate suddenly closed the newspaper. "So Genma likes younger women."
Genma carefully washed the dishes. His experience told him that for Hokage in this state, it's best to simply ignore him, otherwise, who knows what will come out later.
Sure enough, seeing that Genma didn't respond, Bo Fung Watergate didn't continue the topic. Instead, he directly changed the topic. "In a while, take Eero to choose a dormitory and arrange some reliable neighbors for him."
"Yes, sir."
"Also, help me take some clothes to the office. I'll be alone. It's more convenient to sleep in the lounge."
Genma was drying the dishes one by one. When he heard this, he almost broke the bowl. He really wanted to tell Naruto that the air conditioner in the office didn't work and that the lounge was a bit cold at night. But after wiping the bowl in his hand, he couldn't help but say, "Yes, sir."
Well, his Naruto transferred young master Naruto, Kakashi, and Eero away. Sure enough, he wanted to do something, and it was obvious that he was already at Hatake's old residence. But what exactly was Sir going to do? Genma really hoped that there were treasures full of gold coins or ninjutsu scrolls under the old residence. But judging from Hokage's style of reporting only good news and not bad news, in all likelihood, it was not a good thing! Damn it. "Sir."
"Yes?"
"Can you take me with you this time?" Genma smiled flatteringly.
"No." Watergate gritted his teeth. "Do your own thing, my Chief of Staff Konoha."
"Yes, sir." Huo Xuanmen could only nod. He didn't like this feeling. He was obviously by Naruto's side, but he couldn't do anything. But since Sir had clearly rejected his participation, then he would just obediently not participate. He wouldn't ask what he shouldn't ask, say what he shouldn't say, and don't do what he shouldn't do. This was what a good subordinate should do. After all, many bloody facts had told him that disobedient subordinates were most likely to be of help, but they would only be a "burden". So, as long as Naruto didn't drink until his stomach bled or stay up all night like a workaholic, then the rest was up to him.
But Bo Fung Watergate still didn't trust Genma enough. He wanted to say a few more words to Genma, but when he thought that Genma was already the Chief of Staff under Konoha, he swallowed his words. "Don't worry, Genma. It's just some personal matters that I don't want Kakashi to know."
Genma nodded.
Watergate looked at Genma, who was a little absent-minded, and stood up with the cup in his hand. "Hey."
Genma reacted quickly. "Where are you going?"
"Back to the office for a nap."
"Oh."
"Clean up the dining room as punishment."
"Yes, sir."
Watergate looked at Huo Xuanmen, who was inexplicably punished but immediately became energetic. He felt even more strongly that the old bachelors around him should hurry up and get married, have children, and live their own lives. Since the world had already struggled out of the swamp of war and destruction, these children who grew up in abnormal times should also live a normal life as soon as possible.
"What are you thinking! You're standing at someone's bedside without saying a word like a ghost. No wonder everyone privately says that you're becoming more and more mentally unstable. "
Konoha, Fire Country
Youjiwei's House
Youjiwei's Bedroom
Youjiwei growled in a low voice on the bed.
"This is the first time I know that you have a morning temper." Bo Fung Watergate was really standing at the head of the bed behind Zhiwei's head. He jumped down and drank some water.
"I don't have a morning temper. Anyone would be shocked to see a foot on top of their head as soon as they lie down!" Youjiwei rubbed his head and sat up. "What happened? Why are you here at this time?"
"I can't help it. Genma is by my side now. He's watching me too closely, and the shadow clone can't fool that meticulous and smart boy." Watergate shrugged. "It wasn't easy to get rid of him for a few minutes today."
"A bunch of nonsense. It doesn't seem to be anything important." Youjiwei just wanted to sigh. "I just took over the security department, and I'm under a lot of pressure. I'm relying on an afternoon nap to catch up on sleep. If you have something to say, say it quickly."
"Did you find the psychic medium I asked you to find last time?" Watergate sat on the sofa and crossed his legs.
"..." Zhiwei frowned. "I thought you were joking."
"When have I ever joked?" Watergate also frowned.
"I think you're joking every day." Zhiwei felt that Bo Fung Watergate was becoming more and more unfamiliar to him because he had been running around outside for too many years.
"But I'm really not joking." Watergate tapped his fingers on the glass one by one. "Just tell me if you found her or not."
"No."
"Oh." Watergate carefully observed Youjiwei's face. After a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up. "Bring the psychic medium to Qimu's old house tomorrow night. I have something to ask White Fang."
"He's dead."
"There are some things that I've always had doubts about, but it's either that no living person knows about it anymore, or that I can't ask a living person."
"But Bo Fung Watergate, they're all dead. White Fang is dead. Kina is dead. Kina is dead!" Youjiwei only felt a nameless evil rush to his head. "Wake up!"
"I'm normal."
"You're not normal! People who play with the dead don't have a good ending! Look at Second King Yanluo! He sacrificed himself to save Third King Danzō and the others because he knew that he didn't have long to live! You told me this! "
"But Edo Tensei is enough to prove that this world has a soul, right?"
"People who are reincarnated from Edo Tensei have no memory or reason. They are just war machines!" Zhiwei stood up and grabbed Bo Fung Watergate's collar before putting it down. "I know, you've tried it."
"..."
"Don't think about those messy things. Living people should live their lives." Zhiwei saw that Watergate did not speak and was slightly relieved. "Kina also doesn't want to see you living like this."
"I don't know what will happen to the soul after being reincarnated from Edo Tensei." Watergate sighed. "And since it's a forbidden technique, there must be a price to pay if you want to use it. Lord Sandaime didn't say what the price is. I've never tried using Edo Tensei. Really, I'm very rational."
"..." Zhiwei didn't know what to say.
So, he continued to talk about Watergate. "The night after tomorrow, at Hatake's mansion. I don't know if Kina's soul is strong or not, but I know that Hatake White Fang's soul is definitely shockingly strong. Didn't we already confirm it last time? He's at Hatake's mansion, so it should be easy to communicate with him. "
Youjiwei looked at the serious and determined Watergate and felt that he was about to lose. Kakashi had been with Bo Fung Watergate since he was six years old, so he knew his teacher very well. Then he and Dingzhuo were actually the same. At that time, they had just entered the ninja school. Bo Fung Watergate was one of the few orphans who didn't come from a ninja family, but his performance was so dazzling. He was good-looking, smart, hardworking, talented and helpful. It was as if he was born to lead others. Moreover, he always had his own ideas. Many times, he would go against the opinions of others and always achieve the best results. So much so that for more than thirty years, yes, it had been more than thirty years. Everyone had almost developed a habit. When Watergate spoke to you, no matter what nonsense he said, you would think that it was true and right. If you didn't do as Watergate said, you were wrong. It was simply an illusion. For example, now, facing Bo Fung Watergate who had made up his mind, Zhiwei knew very well that he couldn't stop him. "Tomorrow is impossible, at the earliest, it will be the day after tomorrow."
"Haha, in short, the sooner the better." Watergate relaxed when he heard the confirmation. He shook the water in his hand like he was shaking a glass of expensive wine. "You really did keep an eye out for me."
Of course, I have to keep an eye out, just in case … Youjiwei secretly sighed, no longer paying attention to Watergate, but continued to get into the quilt. The Konoha security department left by Uchiha Fugaku needed to be organized as soon as possible. He needed to take a nap. However, he really couldn't fall asleep anymore. He suspected that he wouldn't be able to sleep tomorrow night either. Psychic? Hmph, of course there are psychics in this world, but who knows what those damn psychics will say! Damn it! If only Kakashi or Naruto were here!
Unfortunately, Kakashi was getting farther and farther away from Konoha with his bag. He walked all the way to a place without Thor coordinates. And his first task was to find a suitable place to set up coordinates in a place without coordinates, until all ninjas who have mastered the art of Thor can jump from Konoha all the way to the National capital of all the major countries. It was a C-level task suitable for him.
And Naruto Uzumaki was getting closer and closer to the border of the Fire Country. Because he was a Genin, he needed to be taught some experience as he walked. No matter how slow they walked, they were already standing on the edge of the mainland. Unlike the smooth strait of the Wave Country last time, the cliff of the border station was as tall as a mountain, and the sea level was turbulent. The children who lived inland for a long time were excited.
"Green ~ ~ ~ Spring!!"
The first to shout was of course Lee Luo Ke. It wasn't the first time he came to the border station, but no matter which time it was, if he didn't shout at the sea, he would feel like there was a big stone on his chest. "Ah, sea! You are all water ~ ~ water ~ ~ water ~ ~ "
"Frog ~ ~ your four legs ~ ~ ~"
"Bang!"
"Sakura, why did you hit me?" Naruto held his chin and jumped.
"Because there are no frogs in the sea." Sasuke looked at Yasuji and Tian Tian, whose mouth was twitching, and silently raised his elbow.
Elbows have their own logic.
