You have to be prepared for both eventualities. One is what you want, and the other is what you don't want.
But when it comes to planning, people's focus is usually on what you want. As for what you don't want … Is it necessary to waste precious manpower and resources on something that may never happen? So, we'll see when the time comes.
So, Naruto, the leader of the Four Generations, who was caught off guard by all kinds of "unforeseen circumstances," could only continue to live a busy and chaotic life …
60 Years in Konoha
Konoha, Land of Fire
End of January
National Capital City Lord's Mansion, Land of Fire
"Watergate!"
"Yes."
Uchiha Fugaku, Konoha's Minister of Security, put down the document and patted Bo Fung Watergate on the shoulder. His duty told him that he could not let his Naruto sleep on the table like this — especially when this place was called the King's Mansion, not his Naruto Tower.
"Wake up, we're in public."
"There's no one else around here except you." Naruto, who was severely sleep-deprived after being tortured by the National Capital's inefficient Wheel Gang for three consecutive days, quickly grabbed the hand that was resting in his collar and threw it out. "Stop fooling around, Fugaku. I'm getting goosebumps. Your hand is so cold."
"Good intentions don't pay off. It's rare that I'm in the mood to give you a massage." Uchiha Fugaku looked at the red marks on his wrist and said angrily.
"Forget it, Master Uchiha. It's not like you know how to massage. I really regret bringing you out on a whim this time." Naruto complained, but he still listened to his temporary captain's advice and straightened up. "Coffee, pure."
"Don't drink too much. Just a cup or two to refresh yourself." Fugaku frowned, but still poured a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Bo Fung Watergate.
"I can't work without coffee."
Watergate looked at the obviously impure coffee in the cup and frowned. But in the end, he picked up the cup and put his mouth close to it. "Okay, stop nagging. Bring me the documents that were just sent over."
"Hmph, who cares if you die." Fugaku opened the folder and handed it to Watergate. "In fact, you don't have to make things so complicated. Just send a diplomatic document to reject the merchants of Water Country. In any case, the Water Nation didn't intend to play with us. "
"But we were planning to bring the Water Country to play from the beginning. To be honest, who would have thought that the merchants were bolder than the ninjas? Before we had time to instigate them, they had already started their own business. It's true that birds die in pursuit of food and men die in pursuit of wealth." Watergate rubbed his swollen forehead and drank the hot coffee in one gulp. "Fugaku coffee with milk tastes terrible."
"Then don't complain about stomach pain all the time." Fugaku took away the coffee cup and poured hot water for Watergate. "If the Water Country wants to join us, they can. If the Land of the Wind doesn't like it, we just have to follow orders. There's really no need to stay in the National capital and hold meetings. Since you were able to force them together with your fists at the beginning, you can now use the same method to make them all quiet and obedient. "
"How many times have I said that only the same interests will lead to the same direction. What Konoha needs is direction, not puppies. So no matter how boring it is, we have to let them all sit at the table. I dare not say that the distribution of interests is fair, but at least there's still room for negotiation. "
"You just don't want to fight anymore! Don't make it sound so nice. "Fugaku said disdainfully.
"Fighting a war requires manpower and money. I don't want to hear things like 'shortage of manpower' and 'financial deficit' anymore. It's better to let them form the habit of solving problems around the table as soon as possible. You understand what I'm saying. "
"Yes, yes, you're far-sighted."
"What do you mean by that!" Watergate said helplessly. "If it's a war of interests, it's still possible to calculate profits and losses and know when to stop. If it's because of national hatred, then it's really endless."
"Mhmm. Anyway, you have the biggest fist, and you're the most reasonable. I'll listen to you. " Fugaku looked at Naruto, who was immersed in the documents after being indifferent. He could only try his best to cooperate with this man who was actually a little exhausted. But before a new round of work, he still had to persuade him as usual.
"Hey, Watergate."
"Mhmm?"
"Tell Kakashi to come back. You've been running so long every day from Thor to National capital Konoha. Your body can't take it.
”
"It's just a matter of a few days. The Wave Country is actually quite important. Besides, Kakashi is coming back? I admit that I'm worried about my Naruto. " But don't worry about your little cub? "Minato sighed." It's not like you haven't seen their internship reports. "
"Who would be so careful about cleaning their own house?" Fugaku also sighed. "Only Kakashi would come up with such a boring assessment question. Are you sure you need to worry about the little ones?"
"I have confidence in Kakashi." Watergate took a sip of water and glanced at Fugaku. "Just say that you think Kakashi should be the one to help me look after the office. Don't worry, since I've already accepted Itachi, I won't waste him. Thor will definitely hand him over, but not now, there will be an accident. At least wait until his control of Chakra is close to kage level. "
"…"
"You really don't have to wait long. Itachi is indeed a genius. "
"Okay. Kage level. " Fugaku could only nod, but suddenly he showed an incredulous expression. "Wait, wait, wait, Kakashi seems to have been …"
"Well, Thor has been running around the world for me." Watergate raised the corner of his mouth. "I've been teaching my only disciple for 20 years. Is it strange?
Get to work. "
It turned out that having a teacher and not having a teacher were two completely different things.
And it was impossible for the same teacher to teach different students.
…
"Copy Ninja Kakashi!"
"Traitor Ninja Zabuza! “
Over there were two people who were fighting as soon as they saw each other.
Fortunately, the first sentence was said by Zabuza, and the second sentence was said by Kakashi. Otherwise, Naruto Uzumaki would have thought that he had run into Jiraiya's grandfather's novel after failing to teleport to Thor. How could ninjas report their names when fighting?
"Sasuke … I still feel that something is wrong …" Naruto said as he threw a shuriken to match Sasuke's Katon.
"If you can see that something is wrong, then of course something is wrong." Sasuke was pressing down on a traitor ninja, and the one who answered was Sakura. She was stepping on the other traitor ninja who was already tied up and unconscious. "How can a traitor ninja be so weak?"
"Indeed." Sasuke, who had missed his attack, retreated to Sakura's side to defend. Naruto immediately used Millennium Kill on the traitor ninja. Then, the traitor ninja screamed and fell down as if he was scalded by boiling water.
"Naruto, you're so shameless." Sakura stepped forward and tied up the traitor ninja.
"If you dare to lose in a fight, then you should be prepared to be defeated." Naruto took out a tissue and wiped his hands. He stepped on the unlucky traitor ninja and said, "A Kirigakure ninja should be worth something."
"Go easy?" Xiao Ying tied the two Defector Ninjas back to back again.
"Sakura, would you be so stupid as to pretend to be two puddles of water in the middle of a flat and dry road in winter when the temperature is below zero? It's water, not ice." Sasuke looked at Sakura who was seriously tying a bow.
"No, I'm not Naruto." Sakura stood up and admired the perfect bow.
"Why do you keep talking about me? Even if you have a good temper, you shouldn't be so mean to me. " Naruto scratched his head and gestured to Sasuke and Sakura to look at Kakashi and Zabuza who were still fighting fiercely. "What should we do now? Should we go and help?"
"No need." Sasuke also looked at the two Jonins who were using Water Release left and right. "So beautiful, worthy of the title of Konoha's number one technician. You want to compare yourself to me? They're even better than our Uchiha. "
"They're fighting quite well. Sasuke -kun, do you mean that we should just watch?" Sakura stood on top of the two unlucky traitors and looked into the distance.
"Ugh." Naruto also stood on top of them. "You haven't seen anything better. When my dad was teaching Kakashi a lesson, I could see two golden lights flashing together. Then Kakashi would hide in a corner with a swollen face."
Sasuke thought about it and also stood on top of them. "When my dad was teaching my brother a lesson, I could see two black shadows flying around. But recently, it's mostly my dad who's looking for my mom to apply medicine."
"My dad would be in high spirits. When I was young, I used to wonder if Kakashi was deliberately looking for a fight because my dad was always in a bad mood." Naruto found it strange. "In fact, Kakashi could have ended the fight with Thor and Millennium Kill. Why is it taking so long? It's been a few minutes. "
"Maybe it's just for fun. They seem to know each other." Sasuke was also puzzled. "Naruto — where's the employer?"
Naruto suddenly stiffened. "Sakura, where's grandpa Dazna?"
Xiao Ying was covered in cold sweat as she pointed at their heads.
Sasuke and Naruto looked up. The employer was sitting on a branch with a tree trunk and was sweating.
In fact, it wasn't just the bridge engineer who was sweating.
Kakashi was also sweating. He had seen the two Mist Ninjas being defeated by the three Genin. He was so angry that he winked at Zabuza who was fighting with him. "Your men are too weak. How did they survive the coup with you?"
Zabuza was also sweating profusely. He slashed at Kakashi with his sword and looked back. "They know who that golden-haired, blue-eyed brat is. If you accidentally hurt even a strand of hair, you may be hunted down by Golden Flash across the universe!"
"Huh? Not to that extent, but they're dead. " Kakashi also turned back and continued to send messages with his eyes. "But you did a good job. We've been careful not to spread any photos."
"I took you to Konoha's New Year's Ball, where all the dignitaries of various countries were present, and we also went shopping together for the whole morning. It has nothing to do with the photos or anything!" Zabuza glanced at Kakashi, and the Water Prison Jutsu was thrown at him.
Kakashi looked back at Zabuza and dodged the Water Prison Jutsu. "I'll tell Naruto the truth. But, after fighting for so long, have you thought about it?"
"I'm thinking about it!" Zabuza used Water Dragon Jutsu again.
Kakashi used Water Dragon Jutsu again. "Hurry up. If you fight for a while, I'll learn all your Jutsu."
"Okay! I admit defeat. I'll kill Kado. I, The Peach Ground Will Never Be Severed, will take the blame for Konoha! You won't be short of money, right? "Zabuza's eyes were firm, and he used Great Waterfall Jutsu again. Kakashi's eyes narrowed into slits, and with a Great Waterfall Jutsu, he finally defeated Zabuza. "I believe in Konoha's credibility."
"I hope …" Zabuza saw Kakashi reaching out his hand to him. He wanted to give his new employer some face and get up. But suddenly, he blacked out.
When the three Genin saw that Kakashi was finally done, they ran up to him to ask what was going on. But when they arrived, they were just as stunned as Kakashi. Someone came out of the forest. A Ninja. A Mist Ninja. A Fugitive. A Fugitive.
Looking at Momochi Zabuza again, he was already being dragged away by two needles stuck in his neck, as if he was a corpse.
What's going on …
"Kakashi sensei … Something's not right …" Uchiha Sasuke was surprised.
"I thought that the person you just fought was one of us." Naruto looked from afar. "Aren't you going to save him?"
"That's a Mist Ninja. The Peach Ground Will Never Be Severed. He's a very dangerous person. How can you be sure that he's one of us?" Kakashi broke out in cold sweat again. Kids nowadays are too hard to coax.
"You've been flirting with him. My father's Shadow Guard is not like him." Naruto was always straightforward. He was a devout believer of Shinobi.
"You also think that he's like a Shadow Guard?" Kakashi asked Sasuke, who was eager to try.
"Yes." Sasuke nodded. "But I think he's more like a spy in our intelligence department."
"I don't know what he looks like, but if the teacher is right, don't the Anbu Ninjas usually cut off their heads on the spot and destroy their corpses?" Sakura tilted her head and tugged at the bow in her hand. "And, what about these two?"
…
No one can stop a child from growing up.
