The more family reunited, the more
Konoha's memorial tablet was lively. During the New Year holiday, the ninjas who had nothing to do, or a family of two or three,
Or a person,
They held little white flowers, little yellow flowers, and occasionally little red flowers in their hands as they passed through the neat monument forest,
Looking at those names that had already been meaningful,
And in the season of eating and drinking,
They had to bring some food to comfort the lonely souls and wild ghosts.
Of course,
There were also many who came empty-handed.
Aoha Yamashiro was such a ninja. His parents were both unknown people.
They died in the war, but they couldn't be on the memorial tablet; many of his comrades were on it, but he didn't spend enough time with them,
Their relationship wasn't deep; later on, it was rare for him to be familiar enough to visit often, and it wasn't considered rude, but his name couldn't be on the memorial tablet.
Because eight years ago, the silly Shun Fu Lei Tong had committed suicide in an interrogation room in the headquarters of the Dark Group.
In the morning, when the guards were most energetic, they banged their heads on the ground and smashed their skulls.
But what could they do? If they couldn't be interrogated, they wouldn't be interrogated.
Although Aoha would occasionally think about it later, if at that time Kakashi, To Micro -senpai,
Any of the Chūdō -senpai was the Dark Department Minister,
Or at that time,
The Four Generations -sama's attitude could be tougher... but there was never an if,
And no one could ask the current Naruto to abandon the entire Konoha for a mere guard.
But it was still so wronged.
Aoha Yamashiro still didn't understand how things went from Shimizu's stomach upset and gastroenteritis to a fierce conflict between the Third Generation Naruto and the Four Generations -sama, then to a conflict between the Fire Country and the Land of the Wind, and finally to a war between Konoha and the Land of the Wind, the River country.
Of course, if he wanted to ask the Four Generations -sama, he would definitely give him an explanation. But Aoha Yamashiro didn't ask eight years ago, and he wouldn't ask eight years later.
Because of various reasons, nothing more than an accident, plus politics.
Accidents were fated. Being smashed to death by a flowerpot blown down by the wind, choking to death while drinking water, one could only curse the heavens. However, in the face of black-hearted politics, was he supposed to scold the leaders of the Fourth Generation and the Third Generation?
"Hey, you're here to sweep the grave too?"
Konoha Morning, Land of Fire
The memorial tablet was still dark.
"How can coming to the Soul Consolation Monument count as sweeping the grave?" Aoha Yamashiro turned around and saw Huo Xuanmen waving a bouquet of white flowers at him under the dim street light. He waved back. "Kakashi just left."
"He stayed at the Soul Comfort Monument for another night?"
Aoha adjusted his sunglasses. "Don't worry, he's just sitting there to calm down. Anyone who suddenly finds out that the treasure they have cherished for half their life might actually be a joke would have to calm down for a few more days. "
"Why do you have to tell him?" Xuan Jian grumbled, but didn't say anything else. Kakashi's personality wasn't suited for scheming. If he forced himself to participate, it would naturally be painful. However, once a person had his own position, he was no longer a person, but a person with a standpoint. Since he tied Naruto's cloak to his arm, Kakashi.
He should hurry up and find his own standpoint. Just like how he didn't know that Huo Xuanmen only had one standpoint, the leaders of the Fourth Generation, Naruto, the Golden Flash, Bo Fung Watergate, no matter if he was the chief of staff or a guard. "Sigh."
"Sighing is getting old quickly." Aoha yawned.
"Kakashi already left. Why are you still here?" Genma yawned as well.
"I'm not here to follow Kakashi. I'm here to ask him to switch shifts. The Fourth Generation has already woken up. And as soon as he wakes up, he wants to go back to Konoha. Mute Kato is quite capable, and the Fourth Generation seems to be doing well. Dingzhuo -sama alone won't be able to keep an eye on them. "
"… Then the Fourth Generation seems to be recovering well." Genma nodded. "You weren't there during the day?"
"I also need to sleep. After I sleep, I still have to move all kinds of Thor around." Aoha patted Genma on the shoulder. "If you want to stand alone at the Memorial Monument to reminisce about your lost youth, just tell me. Do I look like such a petty person? You don't need to chase me away."
"I'm just doing my job." Genma chewed on the Senbon in his mouth. Crunch.
"Are you doing your job to supervise me, or are you doing your job to pay your respects?" People who speak flawlessly are the most annoying. "Qing Ye took out a big red apple and poked it into Genma's mouth." See?
you~”
Genma peeled off the apple and took a big bite on his clothes. He was glad that he didn't bite on a poisonous toothpick today. But after he finished eating the fruit, he looked at the sky getting brighter and brighter. His desire to come here quietly while no one was around was gone.
"Mohui-sama, you came to visit the tomb in person."
Genma unwrapped a small white flower and gave it to a passing Chunin. Although he wanted to punch this guy for speaking without thinking, Konoha's former chief of staff, Hiroyuki Yamanaka, had already established a tradition of being a gentle mother.
"Mohui-sama, when will there be a group blind date? Why isn't the Elder Council organizing it?"
Genma unwrapped another small white flower and gave it to a passing Chunin. This Chunin was born in an orphanage. Although he was still a Chunin at the age of 20, at least he had lived to that age. "Go ask the Elder Council … You can also write an application of more than 200 words. I can help you hand it to Naruto."
"Ah, Genma -sama, I heard that the new Naruto Building will be opened this year. Will the old Naruto Building be demolished?"
"Hiroyuki Yamanaka -sama made it clear when he was in office. The plan is posted in the mission hall, and the square will not be changed in the future." Genma unwrapped another flower. He wanted to go back.
"Mohui-sama, I heard that the Four Generations -sama is going to give us some benefits this year?"
But this time it was an old man who passed by him. The old man had one foot and one eye, and his back was hunched. If he didn't look down, he really couldn't see. But a senpai is a senpai, and Genma didn't tear the white flower apart. Instead, he said seriously, "Don't worry, you have contributed to Konoha, and Konoha will never forget you."
"I know." The old ninja straightened his neck, "But it's the new Naruto Building and the new dormitory. I heard that the food expenses of the orphanage have increased. Isn't the pressure a bit too much?"
"After the annual vacation, please pay attention to the Naruto Order. Konoha can afford it now." Genma thought about the accounts he had been handling these days and felt that he had never been so confident before. Hahahaha! Being rich and overbearing was indeed an unchanging truth since time immemorial!
If only Konoha was as rich and imposing as he was back then. At least if he couldn't produce enough medicine, he could buy it at a high price. Then there would be fewer people on the memorial tablet … It was better to be trapped by old wounds 20 years later than to die on the spot, wasn't it?
Genma sighed and bade farewell to the trembling old ninja with emotion. He put the remaining flowers under the tablet with the words "Kina Maelstrom" written on it. Then he imitated the children and secretly scratched at the blank space behind the tablet. He suddenly felt like crying.
"But I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have forgotten something. What is it?" Genma wiped his eyes when no one was around, made a hand seal, and returned to the office. He looked at the black sofa, wiped his face, and continued to bury himself in his work. How could the sofa be comfortable? He should hurry up and finish his work and go to bed to sleep comfortably! When the masters of Four Generations came back, he … didn't think he could lie down for three days in a row.
But there was nothing to be envious about lying in bed for three days. The experienced Naruto and Bo Fung Watergate could only tell Genma that he had two habits. First, he would never take sick leave for more than three days. Second, he would never stay in bed as long as he woke up.
However, Konoha, January 62, suddenly became the 7th.
Country of Fire, KBS, IPO, 007.
It had been more than three days, and Bo Fung Watergate was still lying in bed.
"You have seen the latest photos of Naruto. He is training with Jiraiya -sama, and he is doing very well. You have also read Genma's report. There is nothing in Konoha that requires your personal attention. I have also read the Anbu's report for you. Everything is safe and sound. Mute has also just explained the condition of my eyes to you. They are recovering well and won't leave any lasting effects. Oh, and you don't need to take a bath. When you had a high fever a few days ago, I wiped your whole body with alcohol countless times. Now even your fingernails are very clean. "
"…" Watergate looked at Kakashi seriously. He felt that Kakashi was a little strange, and he felt that he had forgotten something. "Maybe I just want to go to the toilet."
"You just went half an hour ago."
"But that was half an hour ago."
"So what you are saying is that your kidney is also damaged sensei?"
"… No, I feel really good now, so …" Our Naruto secretly swore that he would never get sick again. If his throat was damaged, he wouldn't be able to scold people.
Sure enough, his weak voice was not intimidating at all. Kakashi sat straight on the edge of the bed and stared at his sensei who was trying to get up. "Your feelings are useless."
"Mute also said that I am much better. You see, I don't have a fever anymore. I even stopped the drip this morning."
"But you didn't even walk two steps this morning before you fell on top of me." Kakashi continued to stare at him with fire burning in his eyes.
"That's because I just cut the plana and lost a lot of blood." Watergate pursed his lips.
"I won't faint if I bleed." Kakashi narrowed his eyes. "Give up sensei. If you still haven't stopped taking medicine, you are sick."
Although that was what he said, Kakashi, why was his tone so infuriating?! Our Naruto glanced at Sagittarius who was munching on potato chips.
Sagittarius finished eating the chips and opened another packet. "Yes, Kakashi is right."
"I can accept that you were bought by snacks when you were ten. I can also accept that you were bought by snacks when you were twenty. But Dingzhuo, my new Head of the Secret Service, you are forty years old this year. You are an old man in your forties!"
"If you are a hundred years old, you will still love to eat. And Kakashi is right." Dingzhuo reached out and put the chip next to Watergate's mouth, then suddenly retracted it. "I forgot that you can't eat this now. It's too oily."
"Yes, you are only allowed to eat the hospital's meals and fruits." Kakashi added, "It's not easy to be allowed to eat. Do you want an apple?"
Having an apple was better than nothing, but Watergate still refused. He had been unconscious for a few days and hadn't eaten properly. His stomach was weak, but it wasn't that he had lost all his teeth. He couldn't stand Kakashi digging for apple puree with a spoon!
"How about some watermelon?" Dingzhuo raised a big round watermelon. "It can quickly improve hypoglycemia."
"I don't want to eat watermelon." Watergate looked at the fruits on the table that shouldn't have appeared in winter. He felt that Kakashi and Aoha went to the National Capital and robbed the king's private vault. "Okay, my dear disciple, please pass me the durian over there. Mute said that it is high in calories, nutrition, and sugar. It is the most suitable for me, who needs to gain weight."
Kakashi sniffed, frowned, and tore the durian into just the right size for his mouth.
Watergate also frowned, "By the way, I can't eat too cold now. The fruits in summer are still so fresh. They must be frozen."
"The Mist Ninjas have been escorting goods for the merchants of the Water Country for the past two years. They have invented a lot of small Ninjutsu. Don't worry, the Water Chakra is much better than the freezer. They don't rely on low temperature to keep things fresh." Kakashi showed an expression of caring for a fool, "And sensei, I won't help you heat up the durian."
"…" Watergate wanted to slap Kakashi, "I don't have such a boring idea!"
"But you are full of it now. It's so boring."
"I'm in a hurry." Watergate looked at Kakashi and Dingzhuo and sighed. Kakashi he could run away, and Dingzhuo he could persuade, but Dingzhuo and Kakashi were united, and he really didn't have the energy to fight one against two.
So Kakashi and Dingzhuo also looked at each other, and Kakashi said, "Well, sensei, I know what you are anxious about. The current Naruto has been away from Konoha for almost a month. It is indeed the first time in history, but so far nothing has happened. You have to believe that your Chief of Staff is young and strong, and he can work hard without complaint. I don't know if Huo Xuanmen can handle it, but even if he can't, there is still Shisui, and Shisui is dead, and there is still me."
The more confident you are, the more worried I am!
Kakashi continued to persuade, "Please rest well for a few more days. You know very well that it doesn't mean that you are cured just because the inflammation has subsided and the fever has been removed. In the past, it was always urgent and there was no other way. "
Dingzhuo also advised, "It's not a bad idea to go back to Konoha to recuperate when you are not busy, but now is the busiest time. Not to mention the documents, just the meetings alone are enough to drag you to death."
"Dingzhuo -sama is right." Kakashi put half a bowl of durian meat on the bedside table and helped his sensei raise the bed. He felt that this bed was the most practical thing that Aoha had brought back from Konoha. "As for the rumors flying around? You will only make people believe all kinds of rumors if you go back with a pale face. You should rest well and then show yourself again. Let's see who will talk nonsense. "
Watergate felt that discussing politics with Kakashi and Dingzhuo was like playing the lute to a cow. "What about Aoha and To Micro?"
"Aoha is helping you collect snacks. To Micro -sama is obviously working in Konoha. Have you forgotten that he is the head of the security department?"
"…"
"Don't tell me you really didn't remember." Kakashi was suspicious. "It's okay, don't worry. After all, you had a fever for many days. It's normal to become stupid. You will recover slowly."
Dingzhuo directly wiped a small fork for Watergate and handed it to him. "Kabuto said before that your blood oxygen is prone to low blood oxygen. Now that Mute said the same thing, you should restrain yourself a little. Don't think too much when your brain is lacking oxygen. Otherwise, the probability of Alzheimer's disease is very high."
It was so hard to forget about this! Watergate instantly fell into a nightmare of drooling and not being able to find his way home.
"So, sensei, do you need me to feed you?"
"…" Watergate picked up the fork and put it in his mouth to chew on the durian. He was instantly revived, but he immediately regretted choosing this fruit that was rarely seen in the Fire Nation … Well, this was really the first time he, Naruto, had eaten the legendary durian.
"A ninja who has lived through times of war and starvation won't care about small things like taste." Kakashi narrowed his eyes. "Fruits that come from afar and are not in season are very expensive. Don't waste it. It's shameful to waste it."
Watergate signaled Dingzhuo to eat a little more.
Dingzhuo ate it and nodded with satisfaction. "Although the smell is a little strange, it's very delicious. Sigh, the word you always say is economy, right? Sure enough, the economy has improved. In the past, to eat so many fruits, I had to travel all over the world to complete missions. Now, I can collect hundreds of types without leaving home. How fortunate. "
Our Naruto was depressed.
"Eat it, it's really good for your body." Dingzhuo saw that Watergate was still holding the fork and didn't say anything, so he recommended it again.
Shui Men picked up another piece of fruit and chewed. "Give me some multivitamin nutrition or something. It's small, efficient, and effective."
"No! In the future, you're not allowed to take medicine if you can absorb it from food! Do you hear me? No medicine! "
"Uh, of course it's good to not take medicine." Watergate looked at Kakashi's sudden anger and the huge Chakra around him. He silently accepted the threat and continued to eat the durian. Although he knew in his heart that Kakashi hadn't mastered his new power and deserved a beating. His rationality also told him that Kakashi wouldn't threaten him. He was clearly concerned. But looking at Dingzhuo's one-man defense, our Naruto still felt that he was going to be put under house arrest.
Strong was only a degree.
…
In early January of Konoha '62, Huo Xuanmen was so busy that he started to yearn for retirement the second year after becoming a high-ranking Konoha official.
