January 17, Year 62, Konoha,
7: 40 a.m.
Konoha, Land of Fire,
Chūdō House,
In the attic,
"Maybe it was burned a long time ago.
Didn't you say that you burned a lot of old things because you didn't want to remember? "Our Naruto wore three layers of masks,
And held a flashlight to accompany him. But in his opinion,
Things written in black and white were not as good as two people looking at each other and saying, "I believe you."
So Watergate told Dingzhuo this.
"But what's the use of believing me?" Dingzhuo could not be as calm as Watergate.
"Old injuries,
That's an old injury, such a heavy old injury,
You have to be serious! It's a life-threatening thing, okay! "
"But I really feel okay." Watergate comforted Dingzhuo, who was anxious in the spider web.
"I'm just afraid that you feel good! Does this kind of thing count?! " The more Dingzhuo thought about it, the more scared he became. "No, this matter has to be clarified, or you won't take it seriously at all! Bo Fung Watergate,
Captain Watergate, do you understand, do you understand, we don't want you... to die. "
"It's not so easy to die, calm down. At least I'm fine now. Don't worry, I'll take it seriously, I'll take it seriously. "Of course, Watergate took it seriously.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned to Konoha without going to the office first.
He ran to Chūdō's house. But compared to the old injury that he couldn't feel at all,
He was more concerned about the conspiracy that this matter showed him. What exactly was it,
For which the details in his and Dingzhuo's memories were different … For some ninjas, it wasn't that difficult to change other people's memories, was it?
Of course, maybe there was no conspiracy at all. Because forgetting was not a new word for ninjas. When a person was hit in the head or experienced something unacceptable, the brain would delete something to protect the fragile mind. This was also very common.
Bo Fung Watergate wasn't sure if his head had ever been injured, but he was sure that more than one person had told him, "You had a mental breakdown because of Naruto's mother's death. You got a lot of things wrong. That's why we need to tell you the truth. Because you were unhappy that Konoha wanted to turn your son into the new Force Of Human Column, you knocked out the person who delivered the baby, stole your son, and defected with your wife. Otherwise, why were the guards and the midwife only unconscious? So, Bo Fung Watergate, remember, you are a traitor! You just didn't expect Nine Tails, who had escaped from the Force Of Human Column, to rush into Konoha for revenge instead of escaping in search of freedom! So, the disaster on October 10, 48 Konoha was caused by you! Bo Fung Watergate, it was all because of you, it was all your fault, so don't blame us for not saving you, not saving Kina. You're the one who killed everyone. You killed yourself and your wife. But considering that you left Konoha a new Force Of Human Column, and you are the father of the Force Of Human Column, Konoha still needs a golden flash, and Naruto defecting with his family is a big scandal, so you survived. We also hid these things from you, and made you into a hero who saved Konoha. So, remember, it wasn't Konoha who wronged you, it was you who wronged Konoha. You survived, so you have to pay your debts, do you understand? Be the leader of the Four Generations, Naruto, and pay your debts. "
That was the explanation given to him by the third leader, Naruto, Shimura Danzo, Xiaochun, and Mito Pyloritis after he woke up.
He didn't believe a single word.
But he really couldn't prove that there was a Uzumaki masked, black-robed, one-eyed man in the world who controlled Nine Tails, stole Naruto, and used a speed faster than him to delay his return to Konoha in time, and caused great losses … To Micro, he had been searching for more than ten years, and Shikaku and Jiraiya Sensei had also been paying attention, but they didn't find any clues.
And his disciple, Uchiha Belt Soil, who was already dead, suddenly appeared in front of him, and after saying so many unbelievable things, he died again.
"Watergate?"
"Yes." The more Watergate thought about it, the more confused he became. He felt like a naughty kitten entangled in a messy ball of wool.
Dingzhuo saw the rapid changes in Watergate's expression, and couldn't help but put his arm around his shoulder. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Watergate sighed. "When there are too many lice, it doesn't itch. When there are too many debts, there's no need to worry. Let's put this aside for now. We still haven't figured out Uchiha Fugaku's death. "
"Watergate."
"Sometimes I have to admit that Tsunade is right. Konoha is really scary."
"Watergate!" Dingzhuo could clearly feel that his Naruto was tired. "Why don't you rest for a few more days?"
"I really don't want to work anymore if I rest more, and I've already informed everyone." Watergate looked at his watch and patted his face to make himself look more energetic. "You can tidy up at home before you come find me. We're already home. Also, help me apologize to your wife. Her dear husband finally returned to Konoha, but he still spent the New Year outside. "
"Okay." Dingzhuo hesitated for a moment, but still watched Watergate leave by Thor.
Bo Fung Watergate squatted on Naruto's big head and ate an entire apple and two bananas before he calmed down. He looked at his watch again, calculated the time, and directly sat back down at his desk with Thor.
Naruto's office.
Eight o 'clock in the morning.
A new workday had begun.
The floor-to-ceiling windows were shiny, there was no dust on the table, the floor was clean, the water in the thermos was hot, the documents were neatly arranged according to his work habits, and there was ink in the fountain pen. The only thing that was an eyesore was the walnuts in the snack plate beside his hand.
"Shisui, thank you for your hard work."
Two red lights flashed in the shadows.
"Why are you so quiet today?"
The red lights in the shadows flashed again. "I worked overtime last night."
Watergate waved his hand. "Then go to sleep."
"You can't be alone."
"I'll call you when I need you."
"You can't be alone."
"Dingzhuo is just going home to rest. He'll be back soon."
"You can't be alone."
"… …"
"It's inevitable for people to make mistakes. You've already written your report and received your punishment, so there's no need to worry about it." Our experienced Naruto sighed, walked into the shadows, grabbed the little rabbit, and pulled it into the lounge. The lounge had not been used for almost a month, but it was still clean and dry. Watergate skillfully pushed his sleepy subordinate onto the bed, took off his shoes, and covered him with the quilt. "The new Head of the Black Ops Department, Comrade Sagittarius, has a family. From now on, he will be on duty during the day, and Yamato will be on duty at night. I'll say it again, you just need to focus on the Black Ops."
"Aiya, Yamato!" Uchiha Shisui suddenly slapped his thigh.
Watergate was also stunned. He finally remembered something that he couldn't remember these days, something that he had forgotten. His guard captain, the unlucky Yamato, was still at the border station. "Then Aoha, Aoha went to help me get medicine from Konoha Hospital. He'll be back in a while. Let him take over for now."
"Aoha Yamashiro is good at running errands. To be honest, I have reservations about his strength." Uchiha Shisui opened his eyes.
"Well, let's put it another way. Do you think the probability of me needing you is higher during the day when I'm awake or at night when I'm asleep?" Naruto held down Shisui who wanted to turn over and get up. "Before Yamato comes back, I'll have to trouble you at night. If you don't get enough sleep now, are you going to guard me at night or am I going to guard you?"
Shisui thought for a while, then quickly closed his eyes and began to rest. He had always thought that he was good at both civil and military matters. Wasn't it just handling the Black Ops Department's affairs while helping Genma take on part of Naruto's official duties?
easy。 However, reality gave him a taste of his own medicine. He had enough!
Watergate could only pat Shisui's shoulder to give him some mental encouragement. After all, this was work. If Naruto wasn't tired, then naturally his subordinates would be tired.
Watergate went back to the pile of documents and began to sign them. He straightened his back and shook his hands. No matter how he sat, he felt awkward. Although he was mentally prepared, his body still needed a few days to get used to it after being lazy for more than half a month.
"Knock knock knock."
"Please come in." Watergate twitched the corner of his mouth. He felt that he was so useless. He regretted that his first reaction when he heard the knock on the door was that Aoha had brought him snacks. If a good habit was formed in 21 days, then a bad habit would be deeply ingrained in 15 days.
Especially when he saw Shikaku Nara, Aburame To Micro, Huo Xuanmen, and Hinata coming together, he didn't realize that these people were here for a regular meeting.
Naruto's regular morning meeting was actually a bit of a thing in name only, but it was still necessary to have a regular meeting on the first day after returning from vacation. "I suddenly realized that I haven't seen you for months, Hiashi."
Hinata saluted. "Thank you for your concern. That's because I don't need to discuss things with everyone."
"Yes, as long as there's no financial problem, logistics is really easy." Watergate smiled. "By the way, how's Hizashi recently? I don't see him coming to chat with me."
"You were really busy last year." Hizashi didn't talk nonsense. He looked at the table that was already covered with documents, hesitated for a moment, and put the documents in his hand next to Watergate's feet. "The top half is some financial reports. Although the Chief of Staff has already given instructions, it involves a large amount of money. It's best if you sign it when you have time. The bottom half is the latest interior decoration plan of the new Naruto building. Although it's almost completed, there's still room for improvement."
"Okay, I got it." Watergate always felt that Hinata was jealous, but compared to Hiashi, Hizashi was much cuter.
"Then, this subordinate will take his leave." Hyuga Hiashi rolled his eyes as a greeting to the others.
"He really left without hesitation. He knew that Watergate came back from sick leave, but he didn't care." Shikaku Nara closed the door and muttered.
But the second person Naruto asked was To Micro.
"The security department is operating normally. There's nothing to worry about." To Micro replied, "I don't need Naruto to solve anything for me."
"Hmm." Watergate nodded and gave To Micro a look. To Micro also left.
"Can that guy really take on the security task of Konoha, Watergate?" Shikaku Nara saw To Micro walking away and continued to mutter.
Watergate still ignored him. "Genma, wait for me in the lounge. I have something to ask you later."
"Ah, okay." Genma originally had a lot to say, but feeling the strange atmosphere between Naruto and the Minister of Intelligence, he obediently opened the door and hid in the lounge.
Finally, only Shikaku Nara was left in front of Watergate.
"Watergate, how was your rest this time?" Shikaku carefully observed Naruto. He was a little chubbier and not as haggard as he was before the New Year.
"I'm fine. How about you? Although there's no sudden cold this year, it still affected the wound on your forehead. " Watergate didn't like the way Shikaku looked at him now. It was as if he wouldn't give up until he found a hole to fix. "Do you want to rest for a while too? I don't think you'll be too busy this year. "
"We'll see." Shikaku didn't say anything definite. Hinata only cared about her own things. Genma was only loyal to Watergate. To Micro didn't have a good relationship with him. Dingzhuo couldn't be relied on. And him? Uchiha Fugaku was still there. Watergate counted on him to contain Fugaku. Now that Fugaku was dead, he was the one who needed to be contained. Originally, he thought that for the sake of his family and children, it would be good to work for a few more years. But looking at Watergate's attitude today, maybe it's not a bad thing to retire from the old injury and invest in Hiroyuki's flower shop. "There's nothing to worry about in the Intelligence Department. Even if you're on vacation, you won't give up reading the intelligence every day."
"Of course." Naruto tapped the table. "By the way, I'm going to promote Shikamaru."
Shikaku frowned. "Sandaime?"
Watergate had to say that it was convenient to talk to smart people.
"There's no need for a Jonin mentor if there's a Jonin in the team. What are you going to do with Sarutobi Asuma? "Shikaku touched the old scar on his head.
"Kakashi is going to train, and I'm short of people."
"But if you keep Asuma by your side, someone like Sandaime will still do what he's supposed to do." Shikaku seemed to feel the pain of his old scar. "Besides, Sandaime can't do anything to you now."
Watergate stretched out his slender fingers and flicked the document in front of him. "That's not what you wrote in the report. It's on the top of the Intelligence Department's files today. I can't ignore it even if I want to."
"Such an accident happened during your vacation." Shikaku sighed. "Or do you want to see the report of cockroaches in Konoha's cafeteria?"
"Ha, it proves that I can relax a little this year."
"It's good to relax." Shikaku was almost speechless.
Watergate was also speechless.
Shikaku excused himself.
Watergate sighed. "Genma, Genma."
After a few calls, Genma still didn't come out of the lounge. Instead, the two soft snores in the lounge became more and more regular. Watergate shrugged and read the documents while eating walnuts. After a while, he remembered to pour himself a glass of water and move his arms. But as soon as he moved, he saw little Kakashi standing outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Watergate waved at Kakashi, and Kakashi waved back. Then he carried a small bag and walked out of the village.
Minato frowned, but his mood inexplicably improved.
While Watergate was in a good mood, someone else was in a bad mood.
Naruto Building, Office of the Intelligence Department
As soon as Shikaku Nara came back, he was blocked by Elder Mito Pyloritis at the door. He looked at his door sign exaggeratedly. "Why are you blocking my door? I thought I went to the wrong General Staff Department. "
"No, you didn't go to the wrong place." Mito Pyloritis never liked Shikaku Nara, or rather, he didn't like anyone who worked in the intelligence department. But now, in the central Konoha, other than Hinata, Shikaku was the closest to him.
"Oh, so you went to the wrong place?" Shikaku didn't like Pyloritis either. He would rather fight with a smart person than talk to a fool. Who would like someone who was straightforward and didn't like him?
But Pyloritis was extra roundabout today. "I heard that your Shikamaru might have done it."
"Thank you for the compliment." Shikaku smiled. "Are you looking for my son? He's helping Genma in the General Staff Department. If you want to use him, just tell Genma. "
"Okay." Pyloritis regretted beating around the bush. He couldn't beat Shikaku in beating around the bush, but he had the title of an elder. "Little Shikaku."
"Just say what you want to say." Shikaku thought for a while and let Mito Pyloritis in. He didn't even hesitate to move a chair or pour water for him.
Pyloritis also returned to normal. "I'm here for Little Watergate. First, I'm concerned about his health. Second, I know that I can't hide the fight between Sandaime and me from you. I'm asking about Watergate's attitude. "
Shikaku also answered directly, "First, Watergate is resting well. Second, he has no attitude towards Sandaime. That's all. "
"Shikaku." Pyloritis of course heard Shikaku's perfunctory and refusal. He advised, "I'm on this matter. I'm on Watergate's side. I …"
"You can talk to him directly." Shikaku interrupted Mito Pyloritis.
"Okay." Pyloritis gritted his teeth. "I'm here for Sandaime."
Shikaku finally sat up straight. "Oh, I'm all ears."
"Can you ask Watergate to remove all the Dark Ops outside Sarutobi's house?" Pyloritis threw caution to the wind. "Fourth Generations surrounded Sandaime's house as soon as they came back. What is this? Sandaime's mouth is indeed a bit harsh, but it's not to this extent."
"Haven't Sandaime pointed at Fourth Generations and scolded them a lot? When did Watergate ever get angry?" Shikaku pressed on the old scar. "It's not about this at all."
Mito Pyloritis shook his hand.
"Sandaime planted spies in the General Staff Department." Shikaku's head hurt. "If you say so, then so be it. But do you think it's so easy to spy on the current Naruto's whereabouts? Ask Sandaime, if he was in office, Watergate secretly spied on his whereabouts. What kind of crime is this? "
"It's equivalent to intending to rebel."
"Do you still want to persuade him?"
It was always more difficult to persuade than to understand.
