Konoha, December 2, '61
He didn't know that Huo Xuanmen had woken up early in the morning. First, he went to Yaoshi Dou to get Naruto's medical report from yesterday,
Then, he went straight to Naruto's building.
At this time, the sky was just bright,
There were no pedestrians outside Naruto's building,
But Naruto's building was already bustling with noise and excitement. It was the time for the dark department's sentry and the security department's patrol team to take over. Although most of the young people who were only 20 years old had gradually honed their steadiness, they would not suddenly become as steady as veterans who had worked for ten years more like them,
Changing shifts was just nodding to each other and leaving.
Of course,
It was not good for young people to be lethargic. But Genma thought,
Ninja would rather be a few years younger... grow up early,
It was better to live longer than grow up later.
Moreover..,
Could it be that changing shifts meant that they did not care about discipline?
Genma thought,
When and how to discuss discipline with the higher-ups of the two departments. He licked a piece of bread crumbs on his back molars with his tongue. That was the residue of his breakfast, produced in Konoha's cafeteria,
Sometimes it was as dry as firewood, sometimes it was sticky to the teeth.
In the end, when Genma was in the long dark corridor leading to Naruto's office, he took advantage of the fact that there was no one around to pick his teeth. He ignored the handkerchief in his trouser pocket and spat it directly into the corner of the wall with his saliva. Anyway, in a while..,
Naturally, Konoha Genin, who had accepted the cleaning mission yesterday, would wipe the floor clean. And from time to time, he would create some small missions for the unlucky Genin,
This was the obligation of every Konoha Genin.
It was not that he did not have a civic spirit.
"Otherwise, how could there be so many low-level missions to make up the numbers?" Genma pursed his lips,
He tidied up his hair and clothes,
He gently knocked on the door of Naruto's office. Soon, the door opened softly.
"Good morning, Genma -sama."
"It's good that you keep calling me senior." Genma shook the Senbons in his mouth at Yamato, who was bowing respectfully. He instantly forgot about his appearance at the door. "You, you've finished your morning homework."
"It's all done." Yamato still preferred and was used to Huo Xuanmen's sloppy attitude. "Senior Genma, please correct me."
"Yes." Genma took out a white handkerchief from his trouser pocket and rubbed it from the table to the windowsill. He then bent down to look at the floor, the thermos, and the cups. They were all spotless. "You're much more meticulous than Itachi. Itachi always forgets one or two things. Moreover, he still dared to look unconvinced when you scolded him. Unlike you, being humble means that you improve quickly. "
Yamato did not care about being compared to Itachi, but of course, he was happy to be praised by someone he respected. However, probably because he was a little too engrossed in learning from Genma, he blurted out, "It's all thanks to Senior Genma's teachings."
"..." Huo Xuanmen's face twitched when he heard that. Yamato, who had a straight face, definitely had a character that was as what he appeared to be. It was a little strange for such a person to say such words. However, Genma's heart could not help but flutter when he heard the honest child he had high hopes for say such nice words. Therefore, he would be stricter with him from today onwards. "What about the documents sent this morning and the information accumulated last night?"
Yamato, who was not very thick-skinned, was actually still a little embarrassed just now. He raised his finger and pointed at the file cabinet beside him, deciding to speak less and do more.
Genma took out all the scrolls and documents, and while classifying them, he explained to Yamato in detail. Although Yamato's talent in civilian work was not worse than his talent in Ninjutsu, in fact, at least at this stage, he could not help Naruto prepare in time. That required experience. Sometimes it seemed like a small matter, but in fact, it was the most important and urgent of the day; sometimes it seemed like a big matter, but it was the same after ten days or half a month.
Of course, casually picking up a folder and doing things step by step, the world would not be destroyed. It's just that our poor Four Generations would have to add a lot of unnecessary work to Naruto. Usually, he could handle it, but he was afraid that all the troublesome things would end up in a dead-end. "Very good, do you remember what I just said?"
Yamato nodded seriously. He was not a paratrooper like the young master of the Uchiha family. He had been in Naruto's guard for several years, so he was very clear about what he was doing.
"Then you can try it yourself tomorrow."
"Yes, senpai."
"If you encounter something you can't make up your mind, don't mess it up. Don't learn from Itachi."
Genma looked at the serious Yamato and wanted to rub the head of this junior like the Four Generations, but he felt that he was still a little short of the qualifications, so he patted the shoulder as usual, "It's dawn, come with me to see if Naruto is awake."
"Yes, senpai." Yamato took two steps and opened the door of the lounge. The old air conditioner in the old Naruto building was particularly powerful this year, and the cactus in the lounge were especially green with the warm wind. We have evolved into Bo Fung Watergate who has difficulty getting out of bed all year round. In this temperature that makes people unable to open their eyes, they curled up in the quilt and covered their heads.
In contrast, there was a large word on the bedside. It was a plan that Naruto personally drafted by himself. This time, it was called "The Great Work and Rest Adjustment Battle". Wake up at 6 am, wash up and go to the toilet in 20 minutes, exercise for half an hour, eat at 7 am, drink tea after breakfast, read interesting information …
Genma sighed and quickly fixed the two innocent little alarm clocks next to Naruto's pillow. Then, he looked at the clock and checked the time again. It was already 7: 15. "Lord Watergate, what do you want for breakfast?"
Watergate's answer was to shrink into the quilt again.
"Then let's have the nutritious set meal in the cafeteria." Genma waved at Yamato, "Go to the inpatient department of Mu Konoha Hospital and get it. Don't forget to ask the young nurses for freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juice."
"Yes, sir." Yamato made a hand seal and Thor ran quickly. When the target of their protection just woke up in the morning, he was completely unlike the wise and farsighted Naruto. Instead, he was more like an unreasonable mountain king. If things went wrong, he would find someone to scold. If he was anxious, he would also fight. Although the hospital later confirmed that it was hypoglycemia and that a piece of chocolate would immediately calm him down, who should give him that piece of chocolate?
Usually, Naruto was not in Kakashi, and when Kakashi was not there, there was also Huo Xuanmen, who had always been "self-absorbed". Naruto, the leader of the Four Generations, was very revered, and this naturally included fear. However, for some reason, Huo Xuanmen did not know. Perhaps it was because they had been together for a long time and knew each other too well, so there was fear … Genma rinsed his hands with cold water, but in the end, he still chose to directly pull Naruto's quilt away.
Our Naruto was confused for a few seconds. When he saw the person clearly, he said, "I don't know Huo Xuanmen!"
"It's almost 7: 30. You have to get up." Genma calmly put the alarm clock in front of Watergate. It was not candy. He had already learned from the medical report that Naruto's hypoglycemia symptoms had greatly improved with the increase of nutrients in the food. Although the quality of sleep was still not very good, he had enough rest recently. Therefore, the chances of him being scolded today were really not high.
Sure enough, Naruto looked at the time and only scolded in a low voice, "Yesterday, I told Yamato to wake me up on time."
Genma did not pay attention to the unreasonable Naruto. He just gently pulled down the plan on the bedside, rolled it into two balls and threw it into the trash can. Bo Fung Watergate had written this kind of thing more than a hundred times over the years, if not more than ten times, "Compared to whether you can get up early in the morning on time, whether you can eat and sleep on time every day is the most important thing to maintain health."
Watergate also did not pay attention to the reasonable Genma and just put on his clothes. He really felt that if his guards could seriously wake him up every day, the habit of lazing in bed would never appear on him. God, a 40-year-old high-ranking Naruto, actually lazes in bed every day! Bo Fung Watergate did not want to know the thoughts of those Dark Ops who were only a few years older than his son when they saw him rolling up the quilt and rubbing his face on the pillow all day long!
"Sir, it's easy to catch a cold if you take a shower in the morning in winter." Genma did not know what Watergate was worried about. He only knew that his Naruto had always overestimated his physical fitness.
"Maybe the quilt was thick at night and I sweated a lot." Watergate pulled his collar and sniffled, "There's no private meeting with important people today, right?"
"In the afternoon." Most of the time, the Chief of Staff did not have the right to make decisions and could only coordinate everywhere. The advantage of coordination was that he could answer most of Naruto's questions about Konoha at any time. "You can have lunch at noon, take a nap, and soak in the hot spring for a few minutes."
"…" Watergate squinted at Genma, "I always feel that the way you look at me is getting more and more strange."
Genma's heart skipped a beat.
"Just like." Watergate blew bubbles as he brushed his teeth, "Right, just like the chef in Konoha's cafeteria. Look at the pigs he's raising on the farm outside the village."
The corner of Genma's mouth twitched. He helped Naruto close the bathroom door and then began to make the bed, "If you want to raise pigs, then so be it. It's a blessing to be able to eat and sleep."
"Wait, wait, wait. Why are we only here to feed the pigs! "
At the same time.
At the border of the Fire Country.
Konoha Station.
Our young master, Naruto Uzumaki, was wearing rainshoes and holding a big broom. He looked at Sasuke, who was carrying a basket of sweet potatoes, looked at Jiraiya, who was whistling as he looked at the scenery, and then looked at the pig pen with green bricks and straw tiles in front of him. I'm here to patrol the border! He and Sasuke were indeed not as good as the medical ninja, Sakura. She lacked resources and had people to lend her wherever she went. They were also not as good as Little Li Yasuji, who already had some experience. Therefore, the excitement of fighting pirates and catching rebellious ninjas was not their turn. They could only accept the fact that they were ordinary Genin. But delivering a package, moving goods, or cleaning the deck of a ship … It was better than sweeping the pig pen here and feeding the fat pigs. "Jiraiya ~ Grandpa ~ My ~ good ~ Grandpa ~ Grandpa ~
”
"Don't call me so affectionately. I'm just a substitute teacher, and it's temporary." Jiraiya knew very well that the purpose of Naruto, this little monkey, was to get some good tasks for him. But that 'Grandpa', that 'Grandpa' really made him so happy that he was about to become infatuated. "And I'm only ten years older than your father. Do you want to imagine your son calling Kakashi 'Grandpa' in the future?"
As soon as he said that, Naruto trembled. Even Sasuke, who was beside him, was not spared.
But who was Naruto? Our young master Naruto grabbed the hem of Jiraiya's clothes, rolled his eyes, and revealed a pair of innocent, kind, and watery eyes like a deer. "Jiraiya sensei ~"
"It's useless!" Jiraiya flatly refused. He knew that if he revealed even a little bit of his intention, Naruto's "Seduction Technique" would strip naked for him to see. He really wanted to see, but who knows how many Shadow Guards Watergate arranged for his son to take pictures. "It's really not possible!"
"Ah ah ~ En ~" Naruto said in a soft voice. "Kai-sensei respects you the most. Now he has the final say in the entire border station, and he's also the one who assigns the tasks. We don't want a C-level task. In short, a task that can get us out of the station is enough. You see, we can't go out and tell our friends about it. Eh, what kind of great achievements do you have? It's been more than ten days since we arrived at the border station, and it's no different from Konoha's headquarters. Other than not having to clean the toilets and clean the sewers, there's nothing like cleaning, fixing the roof, peeling potatoes, and even rearing pigs. "
Jiraiya saw that Naruto paused and continued to look at him. He felt a little guilty and decided to change the topic. "Konoha still has a pigsty?"
"Of course, where else do you think those stale vegetables and food with worms in the cafeteria have gone?" Naruto continued to vent his dissatisfaction. "Oh my god, Konoha's standard bricks are the same as the big pigs in the cafeteria farm. Even the thatch covering them is from Konoha. Who knows, maybe Sasuke and I cut them one by one! Even the basket in Sasuke's hands, maybe it's also … "
"Wait." Jiraiya felt that something was wrong. "Rearing pigs is good. It's convenient to have leftovers in the cafeteria. But when did Konoha become so extravagant as to feed pigs with damp food and stale vegetables? "
"Uh." Naruto and Sasuke exchanged glances to make sure that they didn't misunderstand Jiraiya's shock. "Pork that's always eaten with leftovers isn't good."
"Besides, if we don't get rid of the old food, we won't be able to put the new food in the warehouse." Sasuke added.
"All three of Konoha's granaries are full?" Jiraiya suddenly felt a toothache. "That's enough food for ten years."
"Aren't there five? Sasuke and I went to help bathe the kittens. " Naruto scratched his head. "In short, if we can't put the new food in the warehouse, the farmers around Konoha won't be able to pay rent to Konoha."
"Wait, wait, wait." Jiraiya was even more confused. "When did Konoha's farmers have to pay rent to Konoha?"
"Hey, they're farming on Konoha's land, they're protected by Konoha, so why don't they have to pay anything?" Sasuke, as the second son of a traditional landowner in Konoha, instinctively didn't like Jiraiya's tone.
"But, but …" Jiraiya suddenly realized that after being away from Konoha for a long time, he was really unfamiliar with his hometown.
But Naruto didn't care about that. He wanted to do a mission, a serious mission, a mission that truly belonged to a ninja. "Jiraiya sensei! That's not the point, the point is, as one of the famous Sannin, Jiraiya, can you really tolerate your student helping to cook and feed the pigs every day? "
"Oh." Jiraiya nodded and thought seriously for two seconds. "I can."
"…"
"Then can you really tolerate people talking about Jiraiya like this, oh, that old ninja Jiraiya?" Sasuke saw that Naruto always strayed from the topic and didn't take a detour to the main point, so he quickly relayed the message.
Naruto quickly reacted. "Although Jiraiya taught Four Generations, legend has it that he also learned Ninjutsu from his student. What, you don't believe it? Naruto and Sasuke can testify. Look at them, they're both descendants of famous families, and they were also among the top ninja in school. How come they're still Genin two years after graduation? It doesn't matter if they're Genin, Konoha has plenty of Genin who can defeat a Jonin. But look at Naruto and Sasuke's mission records! "
"…" Jiraiya's face turned green.
"The only C-rank mission that was decent was done when Kakashi was leading the team."
"…" Jiraiya's face turned yellow.
"That's why ~" Naruto and Sasuke sang in unison.
"…" Jiraiya's face turned purple.
"We ~"
Jiraiya waved his hand domineeringly and swept Naruto and Sasuke onto the pigs with his Chakra. "Don't say such useless things, just clean the pigsty and cut the sweet potatoes!"
"Wait ~" Naruto, Sasuke, and the pigs cried out in unison.
"We're waiting for a sweet potato." Jiraiya swaggered away with his hands behind his back. Of course, he didn't want others to think of him that way, Jiraiya. But just now, he was about to ask Guy for a "good mission".
Because he instantly understood one thing – he was tricked, tricked. He was so careful, but in the end, he was still tricked by Little Watergate. Because Naruto was the Nine Tails Force Of Human Column, he wouldn't be at ease if he didn't have a master by his side. Because Sasuke's father had just died, he really needed an elder to take care of him. Because the two children were more important, other than the great Jiraiya who had the strength and reputation, no one else dared to take on this responsibility … Bah! As the old saying goes, a moment of soft-heartedness is a lifetime of misfortune!
If Naruto's skin was broken, Naruto might still be reserved and not bully the weak. But if Sasuke's skin was broken … Konoha's genius, Itachi, would kill your entire family in a matter of minutes.
So, it wasn't that he didn't want to give Naruto and Sasuke a "good mission". But even if he did give a mission, there would still be enemies who dared to come. Moreover, with the addition of a Sannin Jiraiya … Anyone with a brain would have to think carefully. Could Konoha be plotting some kind of political conspiracy?
"Ahhh! How can this be. "Jiraiya took out a sweet potato from his pocket, rubbed it on his chest, and began to gnaw on it fiercely! Heh, it's just that there's no "good mission" and he can only do daily missions! Who was he? The intelligent and insightful Jiraiya. He wasn't an idiot like Kakashi who had to rely on the collective intelligence of the Black Ops to get a C rank. He relied on two Genin and himself. Let's see how he can do daily missions!
Daily missions were the majority of the time.
