January 26, 62 Konoha.
The weather is sunny.
Konoha, the Land of Fire.
Hatake's mansion.
2 PM.
Kakashi slept until he woke up naturally, except for the unbearable hunger in his stomach.
He felt refreshed.
His mind was clear.
Every pore on his body was full of strength.
It was not like before at all.
Every second, he felt like he was going to fall to the ground and die suddenly.
"I just slept." For the first time, Kakashi sincerely felt that it was good to be able to take off the Sharingan.
There was no need to secretly observe the enemy's strengths and weaknesses.
There was no need to calculate every move in advance, distribute physical strength and Chakra, and there was no need for any extra skills and tricks. He just needed to go forward bravely and slash.
This was not the fighting style of the copy ninja Kakashi.
It was Hatake Maoso's. Konoha's White Fang, tyrannical taijutsu, and domineering swordsmanship, Chakra was never enough, and he would not be at a disadvantage even in a head-on confrontation with an animal like Jiraiya.
"If I had practiced swordsmanship all these years, Lei Ying would have lost quickly, after all, I can fly thunder." Kakashi glanced at his father's picture on the bedside.
He scratched his empty eye sockets that were itching.
It was still hard to believe.
He was really,
After fighting with Lei Ying for three days, he still had Chakra left. Could it be … After his teacher worked without sleep for several days, he also felt that he was super good when he slept, but in fact, he was mentally deranged every time. Yes, mentally deranged. "Well, but I don't seem to have become abnormal."
"No, you're talking to yourself."
Kakashi rolled his eyes at Uchiha Shisui who suddenly appeared. He was wearing black, a white mask, a flowery apron, a paper hat, a green rag in his hand, and a small brush on his waist. "Red-eye, tell me, did I really fight with Lei Ying for three days and return to Konoha with Chakra Thor?"
"No, you flew back after you lost. You lost." Shisui narrowed his eyes. Power-type ninjas were very annoying. They were obviously skill-based ninjas before, but now they suddenly became power-type ninjas. They were the most annoying!
"Hey, you're not jealous, are you? I fought with Lei Ying for three days, and Chakra as well. Yesterday, you and Aoha kept emphasizing the issue of winning and losing in front of the teacher. " Kakashi suddenly had the urge to try the Instant Shisui, the Guard Captain who had always been evenly matched with him. "I was almost led into a ditch by you guys."
"…" Shisui took off his paper hat and put it on Kaka. Then, he handed him a piece of canteen bread and said coldly, "Yesterday, the birthday party that had been planned for a long time finally turned into a strange situation where everyone left after putting down their gifts. People consciously and considerately returned Naruto, the head of the Four Generations, to his family — Naruto, Jiraiya, and you."
"Blow out the candles, cut the cake, cook the hot pot, eat the birthday noodles, and open the gifts." Kakashi recalled while eating the bread, "I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes, but I was afraid that Sensei would have a stomachache after eating the hot pot. Also, Jiraiya looked very bored, and I was afraid that he would cause trouble, so I suggested that the four of us play a few rounds of mahjong. "
"Only mahjong?"
Kakashi thought about it again and again, but his memory stopped at the time when he lit the cannon on Naruto, and after that … he couldn't remember anything at all. "When did I fall asleep?"
Shisui didn't answer his question, "Although Jiraiya -sama always doesn't understand the situation when it comes to business, the party with him is never cold."
"That's because, no matter what we're sitting together for at the beginning, it will eventually turn into a drinking party."
Shisui sighed, "Jiraiya -sama said that Bo Fung Watergate, you're getting more and more boring. No matter whether you win or lose, you always have the same expression when playing mahjong. Four Generations also said that Naruto would be troublesome if his emotions were easily seen by others, and it took him a lot of effort to get used to it. Jiraiya -sama poured a glass of wine for Four Generations. "
Kakashi grabbed Shisui's collar, "Don't tell me that our Naruto -sama drank too much yesterday and vomited, and now he's in the hospital with a recurrence of his stomachache."
"Even the guards in the hospital have to bear the responsibility of eating hot pot." Shisui stepped on Kakashi's toes, "It was just a small glass, not too much."
Kakashi silently let go.
Shisui quietly lifted his foot and handed Kakashi a home video recorder.
Kakashi had a bad feeling.
Shisui considerately fast-forwarded Kakashi's timeline, where Jiraiya poured a glass of wine for Four Generations and pulled him to the side to whisper to him. The recorder was a little far away, so he couldn't hear the sound, but his mouth was clear.
Jiraiya said, "Being Naruto is stressful, and it must be tough."
Four Generations said, "Compared to the millions of souls on the Memorial Tablet, I'm not doing enough."
Jiraiya said, "Don't memorize in front of me. Sarutobi -sensei asked me to find a chance to talk to you this afternoon, he said that you're always too tense, and that you shouldn't just work every day, you should learn to adjust." The first generation loved to gamble, the second generation loved to invent, and the third generation loved to peek at girls, but you don't have any hobbies. Don't tell me you like to read novels, you should read 'Intimate Paradise'. "
Four Generations was silent for a few seconds, "Konoha is far from being able to relax."
Jiraiya said, "But when it's time for you to relax, it's fine if you work until midnight, but what about the people below you?" Naruto is still in the office, who would have the nerve to get off work first? Actually, I noticed it when we were at the border. Even someone as careless as Metke had to be careful when talking to you. Don't you feel that there's something wrong with you now? "
Four Generations said, "Isn't it good to use your brain before you speak?" Metke is now in the upper management, I'll have a headache if he continues to spout nonsense like when he was young. "
Jiraiya seemed to choke, and after a long while, he poked Kakashi and said, "Look at Kakashi, he's so sleepy he doesn't even dare to sleep. He's clearly asleep, but he's acting like he's not. " "If your own disciple is like this, you can imagine how much pressure you're putting on everyone?" "Ninjas are also normal people, they have their own lives, to date, to make friends, to eat and drink." Third Generations said …
"I have hobbies." Four Generations interrupted Jiraiya and downed the wine in front of him. Then, he gestured for Naruto to get him a brush and ink, and began to … draw a turtle on Kakashi's face.
"You guys have the time to secretly take photos! Don't you know how to stop it! " Kakashi originally thought that Shisui wanted him to watch the video so that they could analyze what Sandaime wanted Jiraiya to say, but who would've thought! Fine, Genma was drawn, Aoha was drawn, Shisui, Guy, Itachi, and many other unlucky fellows who dozed off while on duty were all drawn by Sensei! But why did Sensei draw a turtle on his face? A turtle! Isn't that usually a Uzumaki leaf!? "
Shisui hurriedly pulled back Kakashi who was covered in Chakra. "Calm down, calm down!"
Kakashi calmed down and rewound the tape a little.
Shisui saw himself taking the pen from Yondaime-sama's hand and writing the word "idiot" on the tip of Kakashi's nose.
"…"
"…" Uchiha Shisui was grateful for the Anbu mask. "It's been a long time since I've seen Sensei in such high spirits, I don't want to be a downer."
Kakashi fast-forwarded, but stopped several times. Everyone was still scribbling around him while he slept like a dead pig. And Naruto! After painting his whole body black, he still wanted to take off his mask and let a lion step on his paw prints! However, Kakashi quickly breathed a sigh of relief, because the moment his mask was pulled off in the video, he threw Naruto out like a corpse. Then, Naruto picked up a piece of leftover cake and smashed it on his face. He took the cake from Jiraiya and fought back. Watergate -sensei also …
"It's a cake fight." Kakashi facepalmed and pressed the pause button.
Shisui quickly stuffed the rag into Kakashi's hands, took off his apron and put on the brush. "Yesterday, Four Generations washed you, Naruto washed the dishes, Jiraiya -sensei dumped the trash. I brought the guards to settle the furniture and carpet this morning. Now, you're in charge of cleaning the floor."
"Got it." Kakashi sighed and waved his hand. He continued to watch the video while munching on his bread. When he finished watching the video and found nothing unusual, he put away the video recorder and pulled out the brush from his waist to get to work. The empty Hatake House was not as messy as he imagined. The furniture had been moved out of the house, and what needed to be washed had been washed. However, the ceiling, floor, and walls were still greasy. Kakashi knelt on the floor and scrubbed until his stomach growled again. The paint on the wood was peeling off. Finally, he threw the brush away and took out his communicator. "Hey, Genma, help me put up a D-level mission in the mission hall. Clean the floor. Ask Yamato's class to do it."
"Well, I went to take a look this morning. It's really difficult to sew wood." Genma held back his laughter. "But Yamato will be back in three days. The floor can't wait for three days. The cream stinks easily."
"Genin Naruto Uzumaki from Yamato's class."
"No, Genins can't take on missions alone."
"But Mr. Chief of the General Staff can get Genins to do voluntary work when they're free." Kakashi chuckled. "You don't have to go through the mission hall. Send the internal work from the General Staff Department, and then change the mission rating to A. Believe it or not, Naruto will come to you without a word."
"Oh, this …"
"I'll treat you to a meal later." Kakashi began to take off his apron. "It's not that I'm lazy. I still have to be by Sensei's side. I don't have to worry at night because I have Shisui. But during the day, it's Sensei Dingzhuo. Sensei Dingzhuo, that fatty, only knows how to eat every day …"
"Cough."
"Why are you coughing?"
"Because Genma is reporting to me."
Naruto's Building, Naruto's office.
At first, Watergate felt that whether it was a prank or dirtying the old house, he had let his disciple down. He didn't mind if he wanted to trick Naruto to come back and help. But Kakashi actually used a frivolous tone to talk about the elder who had always cared for him behind his back. "You just stay at home and clean the floor. I don't need you here. Also, Dingzhuo is behind me. Apologize."
"I'm sorry, Sensei Dingzhuo!" Kakashi roared and hung up the phone.
"I'm indeed a fatty who eats all the time. Why is he suddenly so strict with Kakashi?" Sagittarius crunched potato chips.
"Kakashi can talk nonsense." Watergate regretted sending Kakashi a cloak on impulse. "But Naruto candidate can't."
"Just let him remember after you scolded him." Dingzhuo opened another bag of potato chips. "I'll send a few Anbu to help. I feel that Kakashi can't finish cleaning by nightfall. What if it gets moldy?"
Genma objected. "Let's hire a few housekeepers. Think about the furniture cleaned by the Shisui. If the furniture is cracked, it can be replaced. If the floor and walls are cracked, it will be more troublesome."
"Sigh." Our Naruto twirled the pen twice. "Genma, pay attention. Arrange a few D-level missions for Kakashi in the next few days."
Genma wrote down the schedule and was full of questions. "Didn't you say the floor?"
But Naruto was already thinking about other things. "Kakashi has only been a Genin for a few days. It doesn't matter if he's an elite Jonin for the rest of his life, but he's Naruto candidate. Genius children can't understand the thoughts of ordinary ninjas. Besides, Naruto isn't just Naruto of ninjas. A large number of non-combatants in Konoha and the largest number of civilians in the Fire Country are Naruto's responsibility … "
"But you can't let Kakashi clean the sewers." Dingzhuo found it hard to imagine.
"Can't he do it?" Watergate frowned and raised his chin.
Dingzhuo opened the door abruptly. There was no one outside. "Who was it?"
"Shikaku Nara -sama." The Anbu answered.
"What's wrong with him again?" Watergate frowned.
Genma bit his lip. "He probably wants to talk to you about Shikamaru."
"Oh, you believed it too." Our Naruto smiled. "My chief of staff, are you satisfied with Shikamaru's performance?"
"Perfect." Huo Xuanmen was ashamed of his inferiority. To be honest, Naruto was on sick leave before and after the New Year. If he hadn't caught Shikamaru to help during that time, he wouldn't have just been in a terrible situation. "Sorry, Sama, my ability is limited."
"There's a limit to human power." Watergate stood up and patted Genma's shoulder. "The rumors are true. I'm indeed going to put Shikamaru as a special agent. Since he's already become your important assistant, it's not right for him to handle things that only Jonins can handle as a Chunin. Call him over now. While Shikaku is still hesitating and hasn't begged me to let his son go, we have to do it first. "
"Watergate." Dingzhuo still helped Shikaku. "Shikamaru is only fifteen years old. Isn't it too much work to give him a proper job?"
"Yes." Watergate thought for two seconds. "Genma, Shikamaru is still growing. Try not to let him work overtime."
"Yes, Sama." Genma was a little jealous, but he was more relieved. His predecessor, Yamanaka Inoichi, left a set of strict organizational structure and scientific work processes for the General Staff Department. As long as he followed the order step by step and worked hard, he wouldn't make too many mistakes even if he was forced to. But as time went by, Konoha was constantly changing. They became allies with the Water Country, the Kazekage became Eero, and there were all kinds of internal changes … He didn't know if Huo Xuanmen knew his own limitations. He was an obedient and executable person. It wasn't that he couldn't adapt and respond quickly, but he was always half a beat slower. And the quick-witted Shikamaru could make up for his shortcomings. That's right. If it wasn't for Hiroyuki's sudden illness and resignation, the position of Chief of Staff would've been left for Shikamaru.
"Hey, don't just stand there. Go call him. Ten seconds." Naruto poked Genma.
"Ah." So three seconds later, Shikamaru was dragged into Naruto's office by Genma, who was a Thor.
“012611。”
"Yes, milord." Did I accidentally make a mistake? Did my father accidentally make a mistake?! Did my father relapse from his old injury? Shikamaru told himself to calm down, but his heart was still beating uncontrollably.
"From today onwards, you have the right to meet with Naruto at any time. You have the right to express your opinions on Konoha. You also have the right to decide on important matters in Konoha, including voting for Naruto." Our Naruto's face was serious. "Congratulations, Shikamaru Naruto."
"Yes, Sama." Shikamaru took the new headband and documents. So it was just a promotion. "Thank you, Sama."
"Hey, aren't you being too calm?" Watergate wanted to rub Shikamaru's hair, but he could only give up when he saw his solid braids. "Let me remind you, you also have the right to vote for Naruto. Do you want to compete?"
"No, Sama. I won't see you out, Sama." Shikamaru pulled his superior out of the door. He felt that he needed to have a good talk with the Huo Xuanmen.
"Oh." Watergate ignored Genma's request for help and waved his hand. "Yoshi, start reading the documents."
"Not yet." Dingzhuo wiped his oily fingers. "Shikaku Nara will arrive at the battlefield in 0 minutes and 12 seconds! Oh, Jiraiya -sama beat me to it. "
"Why are they together?" Before Watergate could decide who to receive first, Jiraiya was already standing in front of him.
"Good afternoon, Sensei. You're sober." Naruto maintained his smile, but his whole body was on guard.
Jiraiya yawned. "Yesterday, I was busy drawing Kakashi and playing cake. I didn't finish talking to you. Sensei Sama said …"
"Hey, Shikaku." Watergate waved his hand. "I'm sorry, Sensei. I have something to say to Shikaku. Dingzhuo, see him out. "
With a height of 183 cm and a weight of 240 cm, Choza Akimichi pushed Jiraiya, who was 191 cm and a weight of 200 cm out of the office.
Shikaku Nara came in and closed the door. His face was gloomy.
"Hahaha, we've been working so hard all these years to make things easier for the children. But as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Haha …"
"Aoha Yamashiro went back."
"It's more convenient for him to deal with the Cloud Kingdom. Didn't we agree in the meeting yesterday that he should hurry back?" Naruto blinked. "You're looking for him?"
"Aoha Yamashiro didn't interrogate the troops before he left."
Why were troops called troops?
