Konoha, March 4, 61
Little birds chirped,
The spring rain kept falling
Naruto went downstairs to Naruto's office,
It was still the old one,
Water began to seep through the window frame again. Originally, repairing the windows and cleaning the floor was Sarutobi Asuma's job, but a capable person always had something more important than the windows,
So..,
The one who was sticking his butt out and mumbling as he sewed the wooden chips on the wall was Naruto,
Ding Zuo, who basically had nothing to do in the autumn road.
Sagittarius looked at the hazy drizzle outside the window,
Ashamed, but very satisfied with his current life. In the morning, he went to work,
After work in the evening, after dinner,
The family sat on the sofa in the living room to watch TV and eat snacks. The loneliness that had once been blown by the salty sea breeze for ten years had completely disappeared, leaving only the regret of not being able to witness the growth of his son for ten years and the wife who often nagged that a woman's youth was fleeting.
"Dingzhuo, do you know how to fix it or not?" Bo Fung Watergate did not care if the rain would make people sigh.
He was not in a good state yesterday. He went to the hot spring and received a massage, but when he woke up today, he felt worse than yesterday. His limbs were weak, and he was dizzy. In addition, everything was damp, and he was indescribably irritated. After reluctantly dealing with a few urgent documents, he took advantage of the rain and collapsed on the sofa in the lounge.
"How about..,
Don't worry about whether Naruto should be the last to leave Naruto's building..,
We're moving..,
It's not like we're in a shipwreck. The captain is not allowed to get off the ship first. "Dingzhuo looked at the trickle of water that was still seeping through the cracks of the wooden chips and scratched his head.
"Today is the day. I'll tell Shisui to get up and move. You're on vacation."
Watergate was a little tempted, but he felt that Dingzhuo's teasing face made him even more irritated. "I'm obviously still angry after waking up. Don't provoke me again, or I'll really fall out with you."
What did I say? How did I provoke you? Shikaku was right. You're really hard to please. After Sagittarius finished cursing, he blinked his eyes and continued to mend the wall. In the morning, he had heard from Kakashi about how Naruto had bitten off his thumb yesterday. When he thought about the area of the sealing circle, he knew that Watergate was suffering from heart ischemia and cerebral hypoxia today. Before the shift change, Shisui and the Dark Ops also warned that Naruto would probably find an opportunity to find fault with him and get angry. He didn't believe it at first, but he was really scolded as a salary thief … Yesterday afternoon, it was Captain Watergate who wanted to engrave the enchantment because he thought I was in the way and took the initiative to give me a day off to go home and accompany my wife! You took the initiative, personally! He turned his head and refused to admit it. Kakashi was right, Naruto had become unreasonable after a long time.
"Can you fix it or not, Dingzhuo?!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Watergate was paralyzed for a while, but he finally got up and looked at his work history – backlog, backlog, backlog. He thought that with Sarutobi and Asuma, he could go home on time, go to bed on time, and chat with his son in the pool. Who knew that all the time saved would be spent on a protective enchantment. It was all Oily Woman To Micro's fault. If he had said two months earlier, he could have just built the framework and completed it slowly. If he had said two months later, he wouldn't have been able to finish it before the Chunin exam even if he didn't sleep. Then he would have quit. But he had to remind him that Konoha was a big sieve. "Sagittarius! Are you done yet?! "
Dingzhuo had completely given up on repairing the old Naruto building. Konoha started building new buildings as soon as they had some money. Wasn't it because the old building was small and old, and the toilets were blocked every day, and the wires were so old that they couldn't be repaired?
And Watergate listened to Dingzhuo ignoring him in the office for a long time, and the hammer didn't make any noise. He began to reflect on whether he had gone too far. Kakashi and the others were juniors, and they weren't qualified to be angry when they were scolded and beaten by their seniors. Dingzhuo was different. No matter how close friends were, they were still friends, and friends needed to respect each other. "Sorry, I didn't mean to shout so loudly. I'm just in a hurry."
Sagittarius came into the lounge, boiled water, and made tea. He handed an empty cup to Watergate, "Let's chat."
"I said I'm in a hurry."
Ding Zuo poured a cup of tea for Minato. "Drink some deer antler tea. Don't forget it if I don't put it in front of you."
"…"
"Although it does taste a little bad."
Watergate suppressed his irritation and the urge to throw the cup against the wall and lowered his head to drink tea, "Touch your conscience and tell me this is a little bad?"
"You should also touch your conscience and tell me if it works."
"…" Watergate drank the hot tea. Of course, the Nara family's deer products were the best. After drinking it on and off for more than a month, the number of hypoglycemia episodes had decreased significantly, and the coldness in his hands and feet had also improved a lot. If it weren't for this tea, he would have fainted on the spot after biting his finger and having his blood secretly drawn. "The consumption of medicine during the war is high, and the secret medicine is precious. But now you have enough to make tea for me. Can't you just make some beeswax balls?"
"No."
"The deer antlers are cut off every year and left in the refrigerator until they expire. Don't be so stingy. How much do you want? I'll pay you by card. "
"This is not a matter of money. It's medicine when it's made into pills. Look at me, and then look at yourself. Your body can't withstand the medicine at all." Dingzhuo pinched Watergate's arm, "You have to work hard to put on more weight."
"I'm a speed type, not a strength type. I've only heard of people who can become as thin as lightning. I'll tell you. Lei Ying is at a disadvantage when compared to me in speed because of his 200 kilograms of tendon. "
"But if he punches you, you'll vomit blood. If you punch him, he'll be fine."
"That's why I invented the spiral ball." Watergate wasn't sure if he was nourished by the deer antlers and ginseng tea, or if he was just happy chatting with friends. In short, he seemed to be in a much better mood. "Actually, I want to put on more weight, but my 1.8-meter-tall frame is restricted from eating every day. Although I don't have to cook everything for every meal now, I still eat the most."
Dingzhuo thought about it and agreed. Konoha Hospital's special nutritious meals were definitely nutritious and guaranteed that he would no longer have gastric pain. But that thing didn't look like it could satisfy the daily consumption of a big frame, especially when this person didn't have to lie down all day and had to work. "I'll talk to them some other day. Since your stomach doesn't hurt anymore, let's change the menu. You can also tell them what you want to eat. With such a big bowl of Konoha, you can't miss a bite. "
"I want to eat charcoal grilled saury, fried drumsticks, fried bacon, black pepper steak, boiled blood sausage, bouncy octopus balls, Ichiraku Ramen, and fried rice cakes." Watergate wasn't a person who was obsessed with food. If he always ate in the cafeteria, he would at most complain a little before continuing to eat. But if he was fed like a rabbit all day long — during the war, he would eat a lot of meat when he was hungry, and when he was full, he could eat a lot of meat! It wasn't boiled water that was mixed together with Naruto's feed! It was a whole piece! It was brushed with fragrant sauce! It was dripping with oil!
Dingzhuo looked at Naruto's sad and indignant face and was really worried that he would suddenly break down. "Okay, okay, okay. You just want to eat meat. I'll exchange lunch with you later. I'll help you eat everything you cook."
"Forget it. Since I'm working so hard every day, just add a big drumstick for me. If I really eat your lunch, your wife will hate me even more." Watergate finished the tea in his cup. "Wake Shisui up. We'll start moving now."
"…" Dingzhuo understood Kakashi. "Didn't you just say that you won't move?"
"When did I say that I won't move? Can you be reasonable?"
"I'm unreasonable?"
"Yes, you're the unreasonable one."
"Bo Fung Watergate, don't go too far."
"You're the one who's going too far. Every day, you bring a bunch of delicious food for lunch. You're not eating with me!"
"There's no drumstick for lunch. There's no more."
"You said that you would exchange with me."
"Don't forget that you already refused."
"Did I? I didn't. "
"Asuma is at the door. He must have heard it just now!"
"…" Sarutobi and Asuma stood outside the lounge holding the documents that needed Naruto's signature. They didn't want to stand anymore. When Watergate followed Jiraiya to his house to eat and drink years ago, although he also lowered his head and ate fiercely and even took takeouts, it wasn't to the extent that … Did Konoha's great revival really flourish in this person's hands? "Sir, Jiraiya -sama requests an appointment. Four Generations, do you have time?"
"Requests an appointment?" Watergate looked at Dingzhuo.
"An appointment?" Dingzhuo looked at Watergate.
The two of them jumped out of the lounge and approached the small crack in the wall. Each of them clung to the crack and looked next door. Jiraiya was really sitting quietly in the waiting room, and there was no one around him within two meters. Because Jiraiya was Jiraiya, but he wasn't wearing casual clothes or clogs. He was wearing a neat Jonin uniform, and his messy hair was tied up! Most importantly, he had taken off his Mount Myoboku forehead protector and was wearing the Konoha forehead protector again …
"Uh, Jiraiya -sensei's forehead protector these years …" Watergate remembered receiving a report about it from the border station.
"When he's not wearing clogs, it's always stuffed in his shoes. When he's wearing shoes, it's still in his shoes." Dingzhuo rubbed his nose. "He, uh, he didn't do anything wrong and is here to ask for forgiveness, right?"
"I don't think so. I didn't receive any special reports." Watergate thought. He was going to take a break today anyway. "Please invite Jiraiya -sensei in."
Dingzhuo tidied up his clothes and whispered to Asuma.
Asuma opened the door with a puzzled expression … and then … stuck his head out the window and looked at the sky. Although it had been drizzling since dawn, the sun hadn't risen from the west.
Jiraiya nodded at Asuma, whose mouth was wide open, and walked into Naruto's office with a serious expression.
"Good, good morning, Jiraiya -sensei." Naruto looked at Sensei's fierce expression and trembled a little. He hurriedly pulled Dingzhuo in front of the desk and blocked him. He suddenly realized a problem. Maybe it was because of the bad weather, and he didn't know what he did that made Sensei angry and want to beat him up.
However.
"Good morning, Lord Four Generations, Konoha Jonin Jiraiya reporting for duty."
"…"
"Serial number 002301 requests to carry out a mission."
"…"
Watergate reached out his hand and quickly wrote a series of "SOS" on Dingzhuo's back.
Dingzhuo wanted to shout for help! What was Jiraiya doing this time?! Just as he finished pacifying his disciple, Sensei came out to make a fuss. "Did you lose a game of truth or dare? Hahaha, what kind of mission do you need? ABCDES？ Just tell me. "
"There are no E-grade missions." Asuma stepped in between them. After he shut his mouth, he didn't find it strange anymore. The annoying Jiraiya was always looking for trouble. He really regretted pushing the job of receiving visitors to others. "Jiraiya, missions are very serious matters. Naruto is very busy. We have no obligation to accompany you to pass the time."
"Well, there are E-grade missions. Just set up one for Jiraiya sensei!" Dingzhuo was very satisfied with his good idea. Asuma had always disliked Jiraiya since he was young. In the past, his rank was low. Now, he was Naruto's guard captain and worked as an office director. He looked like he was being squeezed dry all the time, but in reality, he had a lot of power. Even Jiraiya's elder couldn't suppress him.
But to set up an E-grade mission for Jiraiya sensei, Dingzhuo, are you not deliberately fanning the flames? Watergate frantically drew an X on Dingzhuo's back.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble." Jiraiya looked at Sagittarius with bloodshot eyes. Dingzhuo was an honest and good boy. All these years, he conscientiously guarded Konoha's border. Jiraiya often went to the border to settle down. It was a boring, wet, and cold place where even hot water and electricity were insufficient. Sagittarius stayed there for a whole ten years and only returned home a few times. When he got older, the people below him would grow up and compensate him with a quiet life. There was nothing wrong with that. But now, one of the Sannin, Jiraiya, was going to work. He needed a position that could be by Watergate's side at all times. It wasn't the same as the Black Ops and the Guards, but someone who was qualified to be by Naruto's side and had some influence in Konoha's upper echelons. He could persuade people …
The kind Sage Toad Jiraiya was a good teacher. He taught many disciples for half his life. In the end, after the war, the only one left alive was Watergate. In the past, that child never needed anyone to worry about him. He would consciously train himself and choose his tasks wisely. It was nonsense that he needed someone to take care of him. Bo Fung Watergate could take care of himself and had the time to take care of others. He was a golden flash that never failed! The leader of the Four Generations, Naruto, who led Konoha out of the quagmire and made everyone love each other again. He was strong, wise, had many admirers, and could also be cruel and merciless. Perfect!
But … "Number 005490, you are the Black Ops Minister. Yes, you have been stationed here for ten years. You have done well. Konoha should compensate you. But as a person in a high position, you leave all your work to your subordinates and hide in the office eating chips every day? Don't you think Konoha's ninja school is more suitable for retirement? "
Dingzhuo was so scared that the lollipop in his mouth almost fell out. He didn't mind going to Konoha's ninja school, but what did Jiraiya mean? The Black Ops were too strict. Did he catch Jiraiya peeping in the women's bathroom?
“002310！” Our Naruto finally opened his mouth. He allowed Jiraiya sensei to punch him a couple of times, but he would never allow Naruto's sensei to meddle in things that shouldn't be meddled in. The Black Ops were all dirty work, and it was inevitable that they would offend people. Shisui and Itachi were two young Uchiha. If Dingzhuo didn't take the blame, it would be too easy for people to hate them. "Don't talk nonsense. You can step down for the time being, Jiraiya Jiraiya."
Jiraiya realized that he had said something wrong, which made him even more nervous. Yes, he was already over fifty years old and had traveled around the world. He had seen and understood what he needed to see. But understanding didn't mean that he was good at politics, especially when it came to human affairs. Danzō and the three generations of sensei, along with the nobles of various countries, wanted to remove someone from their current position and send their own people to a better position. Whether it was to drag someone down or to move to a better position, they had to find fault first. Where did he go wrong?
Sarutobi Asuma wouldn't give Jiraiya time to think clearly. How many years had it been! He finally had the chance to drag Jiraiya out in public!
"Hey, Asuma Asuma, I'm your big brother Jiraiya. When we were young, I doted on you, loved you, and played with you. Don't pull my hair, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch." Jiraiya kicked the door frame with one hand. "Watergate, Watergate, Four Generations, Four Generations, I won't talk anymore. Don't drive me out first. I have something to discuss with you. It's about Naruto, Naruto."
But Watergate still didn't stop the Black Ops from clearing the scene. Principles and bottom lines couldn't be trampled … He still suspected that Jiraiya had lost in the game of truth or dare. Although chasing Sensei out in public like this was worse than throwing a cup at the border. He would definitely offend Sensei, and he might even secretly take revenge … How annoying.
"Watergate ~ Little Watergate ~ My dear ~"
"Re … report? What are you guys doing? "
"Well, go ahead." Watergate rubbed his forehead. For the first time, he felt that Kakashi's sudden appearance was very cute.
Kakashi bypassed Jiraiya who was blocking the door, and a Thor came to Sensei's side. "The security department reported that an object suspected to be of the Kazekage is infinitely approaching the gate of Konoha. Based on visual estimation, it will land in about 60 seconds."
Watergate felt that he must have committed more sins in his previous life than in this life to be so close to Sensei and his disciple. "My blood pressure is low today. You'd better speak properly."
"That brat Eero invented a new ninjutsu. He can sit on sand and fly in the sky. Then, he said that he wanted to be the vanguard for the Genin coming to Konoha, so he left the team behind and flew here." Kakashi took out a telegram and looked up. "Uh."
Watergate turned around and saw a person suspected to be of the Kazekage sitting on the sand and hovering in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. "Me, Eero? Hahahahaha! "
Haha!
