Konoha 62, April 1,
Dusk was beginning to turn dark.
Bo Fung Watergate woke up in a very impatient mood.
Looking at the familiar calendar and clock, his body was tired.
His ears were buzzing, and he was so hungry.
His throat was so dry. But he didn't want to get up. He didn't want to do anything. He just wanted to lie quietly.
Lie down until the end of time.
"Dad.
How did you wake up so quickly? "
Naruto, who was at the head of Watergate's bed, was shocked, and then his mind became even more confused. On the evening of April 1,
Dingzhuo was supposed to be on duty.
But why did he sleep in the evening? He should be having dinner.
And reviewing the afternoon's negotiation.
And teaching Kakashi how to continue bullying Lei Ying tomorrow. So, he had no memory of the afternoon at all? Could it be that he really began to have Alzheimer's at a young age? Maybe it wasn't Konoha 62 at all, but Konoha 70.
80 years? It was just a scene simulation used to treat a 50-year-old with vague memory.
A 60-year-old old man? No, a 50-year-old man was not an old man.
Bo Fung Watergate couldn't accept that his wrinkled cheeks were sunken and dry.
Bald and greasy were even worse!
Naruto had no idea how big the hole in his father's brain was.
He only looked at the pale, bloodless face, and the empty eyes. He was so sad. He knew that Naruto's job wasn't easy since he was a child, but he had never faced his father's difficulties like today. "Are you very tired?"
Watergate was also thinking about what he had done before. It seemed that he had used 20 Thor and shot seven or eight super-large Rasengan, or worked overtime for several days and was squeezed dry by Kina. "Naruto, I want to drink water."
"Oh, oh, oh." Naruto hurriedly went to get water, helped his father up, and stuffed a soft pillow behind his back. "Dad, are you hungry? There's a lot of fun."
Watergate was pulled up by his son. After drinking some water, he immediately woke up. That's right, he had pulled Naruto, Kakashi, and Itachi back from a faraway place. Now that he was so weak that he felt like he was about to die, he really deserved it. But why was his son taking care of him? Did something happen to Konoha again? "Where's Kakashi?"
"There was an explosion in the morning. After cleaning up the explosive charms, someone has to fix the wall. Someone has to fix the wall first. There's a bunch of big families in Konoha. Who doesn't want to fix their own house first?" Naruto hated Kakashi. In the past, he was just unwilling to share half of his father with the white-haired man. But seeing that Kakashi was by his father's side every day, he endured it. In the end! What did he see today! His father was obviously unhappy and was venting. Kakashi didn't ask for the reason, and he didn't even say a word of consolation before using a sedative! His father was a human! He wasn't a frightened horse on the side of the road, or a black bear spirit that ran out of the zoo! Sedative.
"Ouch." Our Naruto looked at the angry Naruto and laughed. "What did Kakashi do to make you angry?"
"Dad, did you fall asleep again?" Naruto took out the still warm ramen and poured it into his father's bowl. He didn't even mention what happened at noon. His father was someone who used concealer even when he had dark circles under his eyes. It didn't matter if he really fell asleep or if he was faking it, he was definitely falling asleep! Otherwise, how would this strong old man who never showed weakness to others be able to face others tomorrow? "Eat."
But Bo Fung Watergate wasn't as thin-skinned as his son thought. He truly felt that compared to friendship, love, and family, dignity and face were meaningless. The only reason he didn't show weakness was because he was Konoha's Naruto. The strong one was also Konoha's Naruto. "Naruto, your Kakashi is already a candidate for Naruto's position. He might really become the fifth generation leader in the future. It's fine if you want to bite him or kick him in private, but if you meet him in public in the future, show him more respect."
"Okay, dad. I understand." Naruto suddenly felt that Kakashi was quite pitiful. He clearly didn't want to become Naruto, but he was still forced to move forward. "But can that guy really take on Konoha's position?"
"Because Konoha needs him, so he must be able to take on the responsibility." Watergate still felt that the third generation leader didn't have any good intentions when he asked Jiraiya sensei to tell him about the second generation's scroll. In fact, Jiraiya was even forcing him to give the fifth generation leader position to Kakashi. After all, Kakashi was in line with Konoha's interests, and he wasn't ambitious or scheming, so he was easy to coax. As for whether or not he was the most suitable choice for Konoha?
Watergate felt quite ashamed. He really did have retirement plans, and they weren't just for show. He wanted to help his son take care of his grandchildren and walk lions in the streets. He wanted to cut off his unlucky stomach and taste delicious food everywhere. But when a sinful and hated Naruto gave up on Chakra, which he had trained in for so many years, and wanted to walk the world like an ordinary person, he would be doomed … having a strong and reliable Konoha and a fifth generation leader who didn't mind that his sensei was useless and might cause trouble for him at any time was actually quite good. "Naruto, try to be gentler to Kakashi in the future."
"…" Naruto accompanied his father to have dinner with his resentment towards Kakashi. After eating the fruit after dinner, Naruto. Then, he watched his father wash his face and change his clothes. He put on his Naruto cloak — because there was still a negotiation tomorrow, he didn't even dare to use too many sedatives. His father was still unhappy and tired, and he had to go back to work without resolving anything. "Dad."
"I'm going to see how Konoha is recovering." Watergate was really worried.
"I'm the Force Of Human Column." Naruto was sure that he just wanted to stop his father.
"Oh, I almost forgot about Nine Tails." Watergate slapped his forehead. He really did forget. "Hey, good evening, Nine Tails. Long time no see."
Kurama looked at Bo Fung Watergate and shouted at Naruto's belly button. He wanted to eat people, literally. "Naruto, tell him to close the door."
"No." Naruto tiptoed and splashed the water on the ground at Kurama.
"Then ask your father why you can only open the door when you're an adult." Nine Tails licked his teeth.
Naruto asked without thinking.
"Eighty percent chance of success or sixty percent chance of success. Which do you choose?" Watergate also answered without thinking. "Before you become an adult, what you need is not strength, but health and growth. If you're a red-haired, purebred Uzumaki like your mother, no matter how old you are, whether you've completed your growth or not, Nine Tails' huge Chakra won't harm you. But unfortunately, you're half of my father's blood, the kind that belongs to ordinary people. So, I can't take the risk. "
"But Dad."
"The pursuit of strength too early will really affect your growth." Watergate hugged Naruto and pointed down. "Both Guy and Kakashi took you to bathe, didn't you notice the difference between them?"
"Dad, Dad, how can you say such things to your son!"
"Because you're my son, that's why I care."
Naruto couldn't stand it. "Don't worry, your son is very normal!"
"Of course I know, but if you've been affected by Nine Tails' Chakra since you were a child …" Watergate patted his son's back. "That's not necessarily true. You'll turn into a golden enoku, and it'll affect your own Chakra control. It's like a baby with a TV remote control. Maybe he won't even be able to use the transformation technique properly, and it'll be difficult for him to graduate from a ninja school."
"I promise I won't borrow Nine Tails' tail until I've completed my growth. Can you not close the door?"
"No, be good and let me close the door, so that Nine Tails won't talk nonsense to you all day."
"Dad."
"No."
"Please."
"No."
"Dad." Naruto suddenly tugged at Watergate's sleeve. "I killed a renegade ninja this morning. He might have been a bad person, and he might have done something bad. He even kidnapped me. But I heard him arguing with his companions along the way. He also had friends of his own. He had wishes, dreams, and beliefs. I heard his expectations for the future … He's a human, Dad. He's a human with flesh and blood just like me. If he wanted to kill me, I might die if I didn't kill him! I didn't want to die, so I had to kill him. But I didn't want to kill him. I didn't mean to kill him … I just accidentally killed him. "
Watergate looked at Naruto's calm but tear-filled face and clenched his fists. "Is this your first time killing someone?"
"Yeah." Naruto bit his lip, feeling that he was particularly useless. There were ninjas all over Konoha, and everyone else was fine. Why was he the only one who was so pretentious? He was an enemy, and he wanted to kill someone. He was a renegade ninja and a bad person. Yet, he was crying over someone like that.
"I'm sorry, Naruto. Dad thought that I would have to help you face this problem when you were an adult." Watergate took off his cloak and wiped Naruto's nose with it. "Did you vomit?"
"Dad, why do ninjas exist in the world? Why are there renegades? Why are there wars? Why are there missions? Why do people die if they can't beat others? Why can't everyone live in peace? Why …"
Watergate listened to Naruto's incessant questions, but he could only hug his son tightly because there was nothing else he could do. As Hokage, he certainly knew how to train a kind-hearted child into a qualified fighter, but … Minato really wanted to ask Naruto, why do you think father can't sleep every day and has a nervous breakdown because of it? It's not because of your mother. Whenever I think of your mother, dad will only feel warm all over and have good dreams. It's because who knows how many innocent souls have died by your father's hands. "
"Damn Akatsuki." Watergate wasn't angry that Konoha had a detonation talisman. Akatsuki wanted to deal with Konoha, but Konoha wasn't able to guard against you, so there was nothing to say. Watergate wasn't angry that his son or the Force Of Human Column were kidnapped. Akatsuki had his own demands, and Konoha had his own demands, but Konoha had his own demands. Konoha's Black Ops were careless, so what was the point of hating the enemy? Anyway, whether it was an assassination, an explosion, or someone being kidnapped, for Konoha, who had already experienced countless troubles, it was just another renegade organization overestimating themselves. Even if it involved the Belt Soil, Uchiha Macula, and Jiraiya -sensei … it wasn't a big deal. If you want to cause trouble for Konoha, I'll just make sure you don't succeed. But! You actually dared to let his son …
Watergate warned himself that because of his anger, he had already caused a lot of trouble for others. People shouldn't be swallowed by anger, and anger won't help solve any problems. And Konoha was now advocating peace, even if he was assassinated by the Rain Ninjas, he couldn't just take people to destroy the Rain Village. But Akatsuki?
Kakashi was also thinking about Akatsuki. After an afternoon of summarizing and analyzing the information, he could basically figure out the relationship between Akatsuki, who kidnapped Naruto, and Jiraiya's three former disciples. But their relationship with the current Amegakure isn't very good. Moreover, what was this third-rate organization trying to do? It wasn't easy for them to survive, but they suddenly appeared after so many years.
This made Kakashi, who was sawing wood, very annoyed. In the past, it was always Konoha doing what he wanted to do, and doing what he wanted to do, with a clear goal and a plan. But today, it was someone else who made a move, and they had to deal with one thing after another. Although Sensei has been emphasizing that they shouldn't follow the enemy's train of thought and should have their own rhythm, Konoha has been like a leaking sewer pipe since the morning, blocking the leaks here and there. "It's a bit passive."
"What? Kakashi -sensei, are you calling me? "Yamato, who had been working on the cement mixer for the whole day, was going deaf.
"I told you to hurry up." Kakashi sighed. They didn't need to participate in such low-level labor, but if ordinary workers and Genin were to repair the walls of Konoha, let alone before the Chunin Exam, they wouldn't be able to finish it in half a year. "It might rain at night, and the cement may be wasted."
"Oh, dry cement can't get wet." Yamato quickly made hand seals. "Building Jutsu."
Then a group of Jonin, Chunin, and Genin all looked over.
"What's wrong?" Yamato was confused.
"Beat him up!" Kakashi took off his gloves and kicked him, and the others also swarmed over.
Yamato hurriedly ran out, and finally saw someone who could save him. "Jiraiya -sensei, Sensei, help me, help me."
Jiraiya silently passed by a group of laughing young ninjas and went back to Sarutobi's house under the starlight. He felt a sense of defeat that he had never felt before.
In the morning, he saved Xiaonan from Watergate, the gentle girl who sweetly called him sensei when he was a child, who gave him candy wrappers and small flowers. Why didn't he save his disciple? He had lunch in the cafeteria, and the Anbu looked at him with resentful eyes for a long time, but he didn't feel anything wrong. Even in the afternoon and evening, he wanted to go to Watergate and see the imprisoned Xiaonan. He was her sensei, and it was normal for him to ask her something. But he didn't expect that he couldn't get into Naruto's house. He tried for half an hour, but he couldn't get in at all! Either the new Naruto's house has magic, or Jiraiya was targeted.
"Why are you back?" Sarutobi poured a glass of wine for Jiraiya, who was in a daze, and asked. Today, Sarutobi's house's outer wall was blown up, and although the Logistics Department quickly came to repair it, which meant that it was a prank by the Genin, he was still worried that someone would deliberately destroy it. Konoha was strong, but he wasn't so strong that no one dared to touch him. "How's Watergate?"
"Sorry, Sarutobi sensei, I probably can't follow Watergate anymore."
"Didn't you say you would stay and help him? Little Watergate doesn't believe that I really care about him and love him. He believes in you. "Sarutobi put down the wine jug heavily." Is the outside world so attractive to you? More attractive to you than the hometown that gave birth to you? "
"No, no." Jiraiya looked lonely. "I probably did something wrong today, and the people around Watergate hate me."
"What did you do?"
"Ah, today Watergate was assassinated, and I saved the assassin."
"Naruto was assassinated!" Sarutobi knew that something bad was going to happen. "Wait, save the assassin."
"The assassin is my disciple outside. I couldn't watch them fight to the death, but now that I think about it, Watergate must have been very sad at that time. "
"Wait, what do you mean by a disciple outside?"
"Do you still remember the Akatsuki in Amegakure? They were my three disciples." Jiraiya was not afraid to say more since he already said it.
After a while, Sarutobi felt his blood pressure suddenly rise. If he pricked his scalp with a needle, he would definitely spit it out. What kind of sin did he commit? He raised Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya, these three evil creatures! He never beat them or scolded them in his life. He taught them whatever they wanted to learn and treated them wholeheartedly. "Come out, my old friend, summon beast Ape Demon!"
"Hey, sensei, why did you summon Ape Demon suddenly?"
"Turn into a stick." Sarutobi nodded to the Ape Demon.
"What are you doing? Don't go out and fight at such an old age." The Ape Demon jumped into Sandaime's hand. "Jiraiya is not like this, let him help you."
"Yes, sensei, who do you want to hit?" Jiraiya patted his chest, and then, "Ah! It hurts! Sensei, why did you hit me? "
Sarutobi didn't speak, he just wanted to hit someone.
"Ah! Sensei! It hurts! Calm down! Don't you advocate the education of love? Why are you learning from Watergate? "
Sarutobi spat and hit him again. "Go to hell with the education of love!"
Education is to raise the next generation.
