Konoha, January 17, 62
Land of Fire, KBS,
IPO,
It was dawn.
The morning light seeped through the thick curtains.
Kakashi, who was half-asleep, was completely awakened by the regular knocking at the door. He looked at Bo Fung Watergate, who was still sleeping soundly beside him.
He yawned. Then, he gently untied the cloth tied to his teacher and his wrist.
He jumped out of bed.
He opened the door for Mute Kato.
"Has the master of Four Generations woken up?" Mute asked in a low voice.
"Not yet.
Last night, in the middle of the night — Aiya. "Kakashi didn't finish.
He was hit in the back of his head by a pillow.
Kakashi took off the pillow and kept smiling.
"But who am I? I swept the dust on it in advance and sprayed disinfectant. I won't — Aiya."
Another pillow.
Watergate saw that Kakashi finally shut up.
He placed the last pillow in his hand and lay down. He understood that no matter where he was hospitalized, as a patient, he couldn't stop the doctor from coming to the ward early in the morning, regardless of whether he was disheveled, unkempt, and smelling of sweat.
Of course, the doctor never despised the patient. Mute Kato was more professional than Naruto expected. Fiddling with him was really no different from fiddling with a salted fish.
Kakashi, who was watching from the side, didn't think that his teacher was like a salted fish.
Instead, he looked at his teacher's face full of "Unhappiness."
He felt more like Naruto. Yes.
His teacher didn't want to face the feelings of a doctor.
It was exactly the same as when Naruto Uzumaki was three years old and didn't let go of the door frame. He wouldn't go to kindergarten even if he was beaten to death. "Mute, how are you today?"
Mute ignored Kakashi and continued to use the stethoscope to instruct Naruto to breathe in and out, open and close his mouth.
Kakashi, who had been thrown aside, had to look at the electrocardiogram and other messy things on his own. It was not until Mute lit up Chakra and began to feel his pulse that he could not help but come over. "How is it?"
Mute nodded. "Have the lords of the Four Generations had anything to eat or drink in the morning?"
"Another blood test?" Kakashi was already used to the medical ninja's methods. "You can take blood today. But can he smoke less? He probably didn't sleep well last night. "
"Why didn't you sleep well? Is it insomnia or a problem with sleep quality? "Mute finally frowned.
"Half-and-half. He gets up in the middle of the night to crawl - Hush."
"It's because you insisted on sharing a single bed with me! And you're snoring so loudly! "Watergate retracted his hand that had thrown the pillow and extended his arm to Mute.
"Then why don't you tell Mute why I insist on sharing a bed with you?" Kakashi saw that Mute quickly finished drawing blood and quickly took the cotton wool that was used to press the needle holes. "Didn't I tell you to smoke less? Sensei, are you dizzy?"
"I'm not dizzy. Don't, touch, me! " Watergate was disgusted by Kakashi and wanted to throw the pillow again. Unfortunately, he did not have any, "Kakashi, Kakashi, when I was suffering, you gave me a glass of water to piss me off. Now I'm obviously fine, but you're worried for nothing! What did I do wrong in my previous life that I have to pay you back in this life! "
"Okay, okay, okay. You press the cotton wool yourself."
Watergate stretched his arm and let the cotton wool fall. Then he saw a row of needle holes in his blood vessels and became even more unhappy.
"Don't throw away medical waste." Kakashi picked up the cotton wool with blood and threw it away. He patted the pillow and put it away.
"You stay away from me!" Watergate missed the wide belt in Hatake's old house. He felt that if White Fang was still alive, he might have broken a few.
"I just want to feed you some chocolate. Aoha will take a while to deliver breakfast. Hey, Sensei, don't hit me with the pillow. It doesn't hurt."
Watergate put down the pillow and kicked Kakashi.
Kakashi jumped away, "Croak, croak, Sensei, I'm a frog. Croak, croak, croak. Don't be angry. Smile more. Anger will affect the speed of recovery. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mute."
"Mute, ran away a long time ago." Watergate peeled off the foil and chewed on the chocolate while looking at Kakashi who was trying to be funny. He would be lying if he said that he was not moved. He knew how proud and reserved Kakashi was, even if his disciple had been smiling in front of him for more than ten years. "Okay, Kakashi, stop. You don't have to do this."
"Sensei, isn't my frog dance funny?" Kakashi still jumped back to the bed.
"It's funny."
"Then smile."
Watergate observed the stubbornness in Kakashi's eyes and almost couldn't resist the urge to coax his disciple. However, "Kakashi, don't show such an expression. A 30-year-old man with hairy legs acting cute won't look cute. It'll only make people feel disgusted."
Kakashi lowered his head and continued to squat on the ground.
Watergate knew that his words were a bit harsh, but Kakashi wouldn't listen if he didn't say it. "I know you care about me. You've been with me since you were six years old. Although I was only 16 years old at that time, it's undeniable that I raised you almost single-handedly. I'm very happy that you're willing to respect me as your father and brother. But I'm not only your sensei, your father, your big brother, but also Konoha's Naruto. "
"…"
"You've been resting for half a month." Watergate bent down and patted his disciple's shoulder. "I'm very grateful for your love and care, Kakashi. Since I became Naruto, to be honest, I've never rested so well. "
"…"
"But it's really enough, Kakashi."
Kakashi lowered his head and was silent for half a minute. He wanted to say, Sensei, I already know about the Belt Soil and the old injury. But he couldn't say it. He wasn't sure if it was right to dig up the past that his sensei deliberately avoided talking about. So he also knew how powerless his resistance was. "Work, work, work, you workaholic! You'll tire yourself out! Don't you want to see Naruto get married and have children and grandchildren! "
"Hahaha." Watergate finally couldn't keep a straight face. "Kakashi, it's just inflammation of the tonsils, it's just inflammation of the tonsils, okay? Most of the medical ninjas in Konoha specialize in external injuries, and the medicine wasn't suitable for the illness, so it dragged on for a few more days. By the way, the last time I had pneumonia, and the time before that, the stomach bleeding was much more serious than this. "
"So it's fine to rest for a few more days." Kakashi took advantage of the opportunity. "I can't blame Jiraiya for the stomach bleeding. But pneumonia took three months to recover because you were in a hurry to go to work. "
"…" Watergate suddenly felt that Kakashi's eloquence had improved. Could it be that the National Capital's speech really trained people so much? But, "Kakashi, stop messing around. I'll return to Konoha tomorrow, and you can continue with your training. That's settled."
"Sensei!" Kakashi couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"Objection overruled." Watergate sighed as he heard Kakashi's body explode. "Continue with the missions, and hone yourself in actual combat until you can regain control of your power. Shinobu Iwa already went there last year. Then go to the Cloud Country now. Go directly to the Fourth Generations' Lei Ying and tell him that I told you to go. Fight with him. If you win, go back to Konoha, and I'll fight with you again. If you lose, go to the base and fight with Guy 100 times. Do you understand? I'm leaving tomorrow. "
Kakashi didn't say anything. He understood that when Sensei was hesitating, he could make jokes or threaten him, but Sensei had already made a decision … Once Naruto, the leader of the Fourth Generations, decided on something, it was set in stone. Unless he wanted to rebel, he couldn't object. Then how about directly rebelling? Beating Sensei to the ground, tying his feet, chopping off his hands, and being served by his subordinates until he was 100 years old was better than dying early. But Kakashi was immediately frightened by his own idea.
"What's the matter with you now? Put away your Chakra!"
Kakashi stood at attention.
"Go tell Aoha to hurry up. I'm hungry." Watergate rolled his eyes at Kakashi. "After that, go back to Konoha and tell Genma about my decision. Also, bring me the documents that I need to sign today."
Kakashi silently rubbed his hands against the floor.
"Hurry up and go!"
Kakashi made a hand seal and disappeared.
Watergate pursed his lips, rubbed his eyes, and scratched his head. He took out clean clothes, grabbed a towel, opened the curtains, and opened the windows. "Don't laugh at me, Dingzhuo."
Sagittarius stretched lazily. "Have you finished talking with Kakashi?"
"What's there to talk about? The relationship between people is like a tug-of-war. If he uses more strength, I'll be pulled. If I use more strength, he'll be pulled." Watergate opened the window to let Dingzhuo in. "I'm going to take a shower. Help me wipe my back."
"Go after breakfast." Dingzhuo stopped Watergate. "Don't faint in the pool."
"…"
"…"
"Could it be that you all know that I have some kind of terminal illness, but you don't want Mute to tell me?" Watergate blinked at Dingzhuo.
"No, you've been reading too many romance novels these days. It's indeed planotitis." Sagittarius didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "But Four Generations Kazekage was only two years older than you. He died of a cold."
"With the poor medical conditions of the Land of the Wind, it's not surprising that he died of anything."
"And you've never told us how Nine-tailed's injury affected you." Dingzhuo still didn't hold back. "It's fine if it's just hearsay, but as for those who have seen it … no one will believe that you've been cured after seeing such a terrible injury. I was the one who carried you onto the stretcher. The fragments of your internal organs flowed all over my hands. There were liver, kidney, spleen, stomach, oh, and two and a half ribs in your lungs. I accidentally stepped on one of your vertebrae and broke it. "
"…" Watergate blinked.
"…" Dingzhuo also blinked.
"…" Watergate touched his head, and then touched Dingzhuo's head. "I didn't have a fever, you didn't have a fever, I didn't dream, you didn't sleepwalk — Dingzhuo, I, Nine Tails, was injured at that time, and it wasn't light, but it wasn't as bad as you said."
"But you were really badly injured." Sagittarius didn't know how to refute Watergate's words.
"Then I should have died on the spot."
"You're not breathing, but your heart is still beating."
"Well, even if I was still alive at that time, I wouldn't have been sent to Konoha Hospital in that situation. Konoha was really lacking in doctors and medicine at that time, and Sandaime was definitely against saving me."
"He was against it, but Genma scolded him for leaving me in the lurch and encouraged everyone to force him. Only then did he nod."
"Ha." Watergate felt that something was fishy. "There's such a thing? How come I didn't know that Genma was so strong-willed? "
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Aoha. At that time, he and Lei Tong took out their weapons and were about to fight Sandaime." Dingzhuo suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Watergate frowned and pulled the sofa over to sit down. He motioned for Dingzhuo to sit down as well, but the two of them didn't speak. Until Aoha Yamashiro pushed the door open with a huge lunch box.
"What … happened?" Aoha was almost frozen by the stagnant atmosphere.
"Nothing, but what happened to you?" Dingzhuo looked up and saw Aoha's burnt hair and dark face. "Were you struck by lightning?"
"Kakashi struck me." Aoha felt wronged. "Lord Four Generations, Kakashi, he …"
"We'll talk about Kakashi later." Watergate didn't finish listening to Aoha's complaints. "I have something to ask you. Be serious."
"Ah." Aoha put down the lunch box and hurriedly stood at attention. "Yes, Lord Four Generations."
"On the 10th of October, Year 48 of Konoha, I sealed Nine Tails. When I woke up, I was already in Konoha Hospital … The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was you, Lei Tong, and Genma. Now, I'll tell you in detail what you saw from the moment I fainted until I woke up."
"Huh?" Aoha asked Dingzhuo for help.
"You heard right." Sagittarius nodded.
Watergate nodded as well. Everyone said that Naruto, the leader of the Four Generations, was calm and determined. He used to be so self-righteous. But in reality, he really wasn't as tough as he thought. He didn't want to mention anything about that day. All these years, he had deliberately avoided the happiest, proudest, darkest, and bloodiest day of his life. But …
"But." Aoha Yamashiro looked at Watergate's expression. His Adam's apple moved, but he didn't swallow anything. He didn't know what had happened and how to say it.
Watergate saw Aoha's hesitation. "Don't worry about me."
How could he not care! In the early years, whenever these things were mentioned, he would hug Naruto and cry secretly to the wall without eating or drinking! Aoha really regretted not being struck to death by Kakashi just now.
"Aoha."
"Nine Tails crushed the underground bunker we were hiding in. We saw you use Thor to take Nine Tails away, so we chased after them. When we caught up, Nine Tails was no longer there. Kina was lying on the ground, you were half-kneeling, Naruto was in your arms, and Uchiha Fugaku was beside you, trying to support you. The Sandaime-sama and the three advisors were questioning Naruto. Dingzhuo -sama wanted to go to your side, but Shikaku and Hiroyuki -sama stopped him. It was quite chaotic. Genma called the Medic Ninja. "
"Stop, did you and Genma have a conflict with the Sandaime-sama because of saving me?" Watergate tapped his knee. "Answer yes or no."
"Yes.
"Okay, continue."
"Yes." Aoha frowned. He felt sweat on the bridge of his nose. "Then the Medic Squad came and found that Naruto was fine, and Kina -sama was still alive. Kina -sama's injuries were less serious. "
"Stop! Kina's injuries were less serious than mine? "
"Yes, yes, the Medic Squad treated them a little and carried them away. The Sandaime-sama had Xiaochun and Pyloritis carry Naruto and follow them. Your injuries were so serious that the Medic Ninja didn't dare to touch you. It was Dingzhuo -sama who carried you onto the stretcher. "
"Stop, how serious are my injuries?"
Aoha was sweating all over. "I can see your back from your chest."
"I know that Nine Tails poked a hole in my body. I'm asking how serious the hole is."
"As big as my head?" Aoha gestured.
Watergate's mouth twitched. "Then I'm not in two?"
"Almost." Dingzhuo nodded.
"Dingzhuo, shut up. Aoha, continue."
Aoha Yamashiro really didn't know what Naruto was trying to do, so he could only continue. "Then the three of us followed your stretcher to the hospital. At that time, Konoha Hospital was very chaotic. There were injured people everywhere. Nine Tails destroyed part of the electrical system, and there weren't enough oil lamps and candles. Naruto and Kina -sama were sent to god knows where. We didn't dare to leave you. You were sent to the basement of Konoha Hospital, which is now Dou's research lab. Then you were pushed into the operating room. We waited outside until the next morning … and found that there were no more Medic in the operating room. There was no one around you, so we took the initiative to go in and take care of you. You only woke up on the third night. "
"…"
"That's it. End of report."
Then there was silence in the room.
Watergate thought in silence. Aoha and Dingzhuo didn't have to lie to him, but what Aoha said was different from what he remembered. It wasn't exactly different, but many details didn't add up.
Sandaime-sama didn't want to save him. He did what he could, and that was right. But he was forced to save him by the guards, and Kina's injuries were lighter than his. That wasn't right. As for himself? At that time, he and Chakra were exhausted. When Kyuubi attacked Naruto, Chakra was exhausted. Chakra was exhausted. Chakra blocked Kyuubi's last attack with his body. In theory, Dingzhuo's description of his injuries was very likely. However, Hime Tsunade wasn't in Konoha, and she couldn't save his internal injuries. Otherwise, Kato wouldn't have died. Although Orochimaru could be saved, his human body research at that time was just beginning to show results. Moreover, he defected, and many Medic ninjas who followed him … Damn it, how did I survive?!
"Watergate?" Dingzhuo looked at Watergate's face and was a little worried. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Let's eat first, then take a shower … Sigh, we shouldn't talk about this before eating." Watergate opened the lunch box and began to eat breakfast. The tasteless patient's meal was even harder to swallow than before.
"Don't force yourself to eat it." Dingzhuo was even more worried. He just wanted to contact To Micro as soon as possible. He was afraid that he really did something wrong. Or, Naruto's memory was really chaotic like the legend said.
Confusion was the source of curiosity.
