Ten hours later.
Konoha Station, Fire Country Border
Underground.
Naruto Uzumaki blinked.
He woke up from a deep sleep.
He felt like his brain was filled with glue.
He could barely think. But his body was honest. He wanted to go to the bathroom.
But he lifted his leg.
His heavy thigh told him.
He seemed to need some other solution.
But Kakashi took the urinal he desperately needed further and further away … Yes.
The urinal! It had a big mouth and a big belly.
It was printed with Uzumaki leaves, designed for people with poor mobility.
It was designed for unlucky men who couldn't go to the bathroom to pee by themselves … Naruto didn't want to admit it, but that thing was a little too big for him.
"What, you can't get up. It's useless to get up, you know.
Apart from Guy's office, there shouldn't be a bathroom in the station. " Kakashi was in a good mood. Fortunately, he didn't fail his mission. He completed the first seal repair in his life with zero mistakes. "Oh, right.
Shh.
Shh. "
Our young master Naruto wanted to give Kakashi a kick.
But he felt like he was being stepped on by ten thousand horses and crawled by a hundred thousand ants.
"Damn Kakashi, stinky Kakashi, that's a urinal. You're holding it so tightly. Pervert, disgusting!"
"This is new. I haven't used it before. And so what if I've used it before? Your big brother used to change diapers with feces on them." Kakashi was rarely gentle. He decided to be gentle with Naruto in the future. Sensei … If Naruto wanted to stay by his side, then he would stay by his side. If Naruto was well and loved by all of Konoha, then he would be well and loved by all of Konoha.
Naruto had goosebumps. "Drink it, Kakashi."
"Alcohol is prohibited during the mission."
"Then look in the mirror and see what kind of expression you have."
Sadness. Kakashi roughly stuffed the urinal under the blanket and began to pull Naruto's pants.
"Ahhh, you big pervert! Let me go. Otherwise, I'll piss all over your face. "Naruto's hair stood on end.
"Sure enough, you did it on purpose when you peed on me while I was asleep."
"Idiot, I was only three years old then."
"You were already a troublemaker at the age of three."
"I didn't. I've always been obedient."
"Only your father will believe you. Be good."
"Papa's letter is enough!" Naruto's shout drowned out Kakashi's voice. He was keenly aware that Kakashi was … dissatisfied with him? Hmm, wait! Naruto suddenly felt that it was not a big deal to pee while lying down. "Why am I here?!"
"Jiraiya said that you went with him to the ladies' bathroom to get the ingredients." Kakashi puts down the half-full urinal and stealthily wipes his hands on the bedsheet. "I lost my virginity to a hairy middle-aged woman who tricked me with candy."
"Ahhh, Jiraiya!" Naruto endured the numbness all over his body and quickly pulled up his pants. He shook his head, trying to forget the awkwardness as soon as possible, but the more he tried to forget, the more he remembered something. He couldn't remember clearly. He only remembered that before he fainted, he was so angry and hot, as if he was on fire, and his eyes were black and red … He couldn't help but recall the nightmares from his childhood that often woke him up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep without seeing his father. "I was knocked out by Jiraiya. How long have I been asleep?"
"Last night until tonight." Kakashi looked at his watch. "It's not impossible to learn high-level ninjutsu under the care of your elders, but why don't they teach you? Because if they teach you, you'll definitely know how to use it. "
"I know. Children tend to make mistakes when they're hot-blooded. High-level ninjutsu are too lethal. If you accidentally injure someone, you'll regret it. But Kakashi, let's talk about you. My dad said that you had a bad temper when you were a child. You were like a hedgehog, clashing with people everywhere. You fought hundreds of times with Metke, and I didn't see you lose an arm or a leg. And you invented Raikiri when you were 12 years old. My dad was also able to master Thor and Orochimaru at his age. "
"Because we're geniuses, you're not. If you have the ability, why don't you create a high-level ninjutsu yourself?"
"…" Naruto tilted his head and bit Kakashi's wrist.
"…" Kakashi released a little electric current to paralyze Naruto. "To be honest, your dad and I were at war at that time. War isn't like the ABCDS in the mission hall. You can't predict whether you'll face a rookie Genin or a Five Kage. Think about the memorial tablets from those years … Only when people are almost dead would they let children graduate and go on missions. "
"What about Itachi -san and Yamato -sensei? They're not at war anymore. They're only four or five years older than me, and they're already Jounin. "
"Because there's a shortage of people now. Didn't you hear your dad talk about how it's a headache because of the lack of manpower?"
"Then shouldn't we …"
"We don't lack people to kill people." Kakashi sighed. "Konoha's casualty rate has been getting lower and lower in recent years. Itachi's group of so-called geniuses have also grown up. They're fighting for some serious missions. You young ones should just grow up obediently. Genin should do what Genin should do. "
Naruto pursed his lips. "Shikamaru and Yasuji are both Chunin now."
Kakashi scratched his head. He didn't dare to say that Shikamaru might be promoted. "They're both civil servants. If you can help the elders with documents, you can be promoted at any time."
Naruto didn't have to weigh the pros and cons. Civil servants couldn't even fight unless the enemy attacked the village. And Konoha's base was captured? Haha.
"Okay, don't make excuses. Your dad should be scolding Jiraiya. When did he scold you?" Kakashi was unusually patient today. "But you still have to understand the seriousness of the matter. Ninja isn't a video game. Stamina isn't a health bar, and Chakra isn't a mana bar. In the game, you can't use skills if you don't have enough mana. But in reality, you only need to do the right hand seals. "
"…"
"Think about the math class in Ninja School. Iruka taught you that when you use Ninjutsu, your body is like a pool. You fill it with water to cultivate your body and mind. You fill it with water to cultivate your body and mind. You fill it with water to cultivate Chakra …"
"I graduated second in my grade. I can do the math."
"Let me emphasize again. Reality isn't a game, and math formulas aren't omnipotent. Chakra is the integration of body and mind. The physical condition will affect it, and the mental condition will also affect it. Adults' physical and mental conditions have matured. Just like height, there's only a slight change. As long as you find an opponent, it's easy to evaluate. But minors won't be able to test their own limits. Your physical body is constantly growing, and your mental condition is fluctuating. This will affect the amount of Chakra you can refine. Just like when Jiraiya taught you Summoning Jutsu last time, you only wanted a big poison, but you didn't get a tadpole. Instead, you got a boss and immediately fainted. "
Naruto closed his eyes.
"In short, once the amount of Chakra you can refine exceeds the rate at which your body fills the pool, your health bar will be empty. If your health bar is empty, it's game.
Over. "Kakashi patted Naruto's little face." Understand? "
"Yeah." Naruto pulled the blanket over his face. "But my health bar can't be emptied."
Kakashi was a little confused.
"I'm the Force Of Human Column." Naruto shrunk his head into the blanket. "Before Jiraiya knocked me out, I once stepped on him underwater. If I didn't let him go, he wouldn't have been able to escape. I know that's not the power a Genin should have, but I can use that power. "
"…"
"Many times, when I'm anxious, angry, or excited, I can dodge anyone's attack. I can hit whoever I want."
"…"
"Jiraiya said that if I were an ordinary child, he wouldn't teach me anything. But I'm the Force Of Human Column, the Nine Tails of Infinite Chakra, the Force Of Human Column." Naruto's muffled voice came from under the blanket. "Of course, I know that I have to control the tailed beast in my body. But Jiraiya also said that if I don't use it, I won't be able to control it when I really need it. My dad sealed Nine Tails in my body, not in a rice cooker, microwave, or anything like that. He can't just leave it there, can he? "
Kakashi was silent for a long time. In the end, he got up and left without saying anything. Sensei hoped that Naruto could grow up happy and ordinary, just like other children. Before Naruto turned twelve, he did. In Konoha, there was the Naruto who caused trouble everywhere. There was the Naruto who had his face pinched by others. There was also the Naruto who acted like a spoiled child in the Naruto Mansion. But the ninja Naruto Uzumaki, whether Sensei liked it or not, sooner or later, he would become an annoying adult and have to bear his own responsibilities, just like Hatake Kakashi.
"Hey, Naruto is awake, right?"
Station, Metke's office.
Kakashi opened the door and saw Jiraiya squatting on the side. However, Kakashi had no intention of tangling with Jiraiya. Now that Naruto was fine, he needed to focus on preparing for the battle against Lei Ying. Just like what he just said to Naruto, Kakashi, who has experienced a strange second growth, urgently needs to find a good opponent to test his strength.
"Hey." Jiraiya reached out his hand.
Kakashi was finally in the mood to hand over the boring little box to Guy. "Prize for the drill."
Guy opened it and glanced at it. "Why is there only a photo? Where's the voucher?"
"Ah, they probably haven't decided who's paying yet. But I have a feeling that Genma is waiting for Yamato to bring his salary card back to Konoha." Kakashi took a sip of water from Guy's cup. "Where's Mute?"
"Hey, you two." Jiraiya stood up.
"Lights out. I'm going to sleep in the dorm." Guy put away the box. "Are you going to leave now?"
"No, I'm going to sleep too." Kakashi made a hand seal and disappeared.
"Guy! Look at him! "Jiraiya didn't like being ignored.
However, Metke just kept his head down and silently tidied up his documents, wiping the table and the floor. In fact, compared to Golden Flash who likes to attack unprepared, Jiraiya's head-on fighting style is more admirable. He wanted to treat this Konoha ninja well. After all, he was a senior, so he should at least have some privileges on top of following the rules. But now, Guy deeply reflected on his new identity. He was no longer leading a small team, but an entire outpost. He was no longer anyone's assistant. Unless Naruto ordered it, as long as he was in the outpost, he didn't need to give face to anyone.
And so, Jiraiya suddenly realized that he had become unwelcome. But he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. What was wrong with fulfilling the boy's wish and helping him grow? If the Force Of Human Column really went berserk, it could be considered an accident. But didn't he knock him out in time?
Since Naruto was now the Force Of Human Column …
Jiraiya was indeed angry that Naruto had become the Force Of Human Column. Because the previous two generations of the Force Of Human Column in Konoha didn't have good lives. They never left the village until they died. They were strictly monitored until they died. They never had freedom, freedom, freedom! The free Jiraiya loved little Naruto the most. How could he have a limited life?
But since Naruto was now the Force Of Human Column …
Jiraiya really didn't like the Force Of Human Column. Because whether it was Uzumaki Mito or Kina Maelstrom, both of them had never been on the battlefield. Of course, Uzumaki Mito had a special identity and was old. Kina Maelstrom … the girl who came to Konoha for school only cared about her hometown, even if her home was in ruins.
But since Naruto was now the Force Of Human Column …
As the only son of Naruto, he grew up in Konoha. All his family and friends were in Konoha. Jiraiya believed that even if Naruto was just an ordinary ninja, he would be willing to fight for Konoha for the rest of his life. So, why not?
However, Metke was afraid when he saw Jiraiya's eyes. "I'm afraid of you, Jiraiya -sama. Since the Four Generations ordered us to suppress Naruto first, he must have his own considerations. Please don't make decisions on your own. "
But Jiraiya's anger grew as he thought about it. It was his fault that he didn't make it back to Konoha. But the father who cruelly turned his son into the Force Of Human Column, didn't he have any responsibility?!
"The leader of the Four Generations, Naruto never does meaningless things." Guy deeply felt the difficulty of being a leader. "Senpai, you were the one who said this first."
"Ha, I said it. That's why Bo Fung Watergate is so hateful."
Guy wanted to kick Jiraiya into the sea again.
"You didn't all think that I was praising him, did you?" Jiraiya stared at Guy's feet. "Tell me, what kind of person can make the things he does meaningful? Use your pig brain and think about it. Only the kind of person who does everything with a purpose. "
"…"
"A kid from an orphanage who never learned Ninjutsu before going to school, who has no Kekkei Genkai, who always says that he wants to be Naruto, and in the end, he really became the great leader of the Four Generations. He relied on luck all the way?"
"…"
"He was sold for money." Jiraiya saw that he had scared Guy, so he immediately picked up the big lunch box on the ground, opened the door, and jumped down. "I'm going to bring Naruto food. Think about it carefully."
"… That's why the Four Generations are great." Guy was stunned for a while before he said such a sentence. Yes, people who always did things with a purpose were scary. But Metke would never forget that every time he and Kakashi finished a fight, the two teenagers who were covered in sweat lying on the muddy training ground were carried back to the dormitory, who helped them clean up and apply medicine, who prepared a sumptuous meal for them in an era when supplies were scarce, who squatted in the bathroom and yawned while washing a pile of dirty clothes after they fell asleep … Including the stinkiest pair of ginger socks in Konoha.
"Purpose my ass." Metke decided to hate Jiraiya from today onwards.
At the same time, in Konoha.
Naruto's office.
11 o 'clock at night.
Huo Xuanmen also decided to hate Jiraiya. He received Metke's message eagle six hours ago. Logically speaking, he should report to Naruto immediately. Whether it was for work or personal reasons. But he didn't want to provide any bad news to Bo Fung Watergate who was still recovering.
But the Anbu wouldn't hide anything from them. Sagittarius, Uchiha Shisui, and Aoha Yamashiro didn't sympathize with Genma's stupidity. After suppressing the report, they forgot to communicate with Naruto's people. However, when they looked at Xuan Jian, who was standing in the corner of the room as punishment, his head bobbing up and down, they expressed their understanding.
Bo Fung Watergate also couldn't bear it. But he had to give Genma a warning. In the morning, he told Aoha not to act on his own initiative and to cancel the birthday party. But in the afternoon, he dared to not report it. Jiraiya was just an old ninja with no real power. And it wasn't the first time he betrayed his disciples' trust. If there was something that would affect the overall situation, he wouldn't even be allowed to touch it. But Genma was different. He was Konoha's Chief of Staff, and when the Hokage couldn't work, his rank was higher than that of the Hokage candidates. "Tell me, do you still want to work? If you don't want to work, then get out of here. You know I hate being lied to."
"Yes, sir." Genma stood at attention, blaming himself. He didn't want the Four Generations to worry. "I'm sorry, sir."
Watergate saw the shame in Genma's eyes and felt that it was enough. "Now, repeat your duties to me."
"Help Naruto deal with the general affairs, maintain the basic operations of Konoha, and organize the documents and intelligence of various departments."
"Why do the intelligence department and the Anbu need you to gather intelligence?"
"Comprehensive intelligence is helpful for the right decision."
"What will happen if I get the missing information?"
"It's easy to make mistakes."
"It's an unnecessary mistake!"
"… …" Genma lowered his head.
"Don't make such low-level mistakes in the future." Watergate sighed. "Also, rest when you need to. Don't force yourself."
Xuan Jian nodded and left with his tail between his legs.
"Wait." Sagittarius nodded to Shisui and Aoha and hurried out. "Thor, take me home."
"… …" Watergate's eyes twitched. He took the two cups of warm milk from Shisui and Aoha and stood up with Aoha's cup. He looked outside the French window … Sure enough. "He blocked Shikaku, blocked Zhiwei, blocked Zhiwei, blocked Genma, blocked Genma, blocked Dingzhuo, blocked Mito Pyloritis. Is he done yet?"
Day after day after day.
