Konoha, April 10, 62
Naruto Building, Konoha, Land of Fire
Office of the Minister of Security
"What's going on with Aoha Yamashiro? I understand that he's embarrassed, but how long has he been hiding? Everyone is paying attention to the performance of the Genin in the Chunin Exam. Who cares about him crying? " Shikaku Nara was a little crazy. He has been busy with the Yukage Village these days. The letter was sent, the telegram was sent, but no one responded. Originally, the nail over there had Thor's coordinates, but even Watergate said that he couldn't sense it. If he sent someone to sneak in, they would be polite to you, but if you want to go in, they will fight desperately. If they don't want to fight, Konoha can't have a conflict casually. In the dark, he went to the merchants who often came with him. Once the merchants and the Intelligence Ninja went in, they never came out. Now, the entire Amegakure was like a huge turtle shell. No one outside knew what happened.
"Don't worry." Youjiwei was blocked in the office by Shikaku, and he was embarrassed. "But Amegakure is really funny. I don't know what they are thinking."
"How about you go and persuade Aoha Yamashiro?" Of course, it's okay to ask other departments for cooperation with the Naruto Order, but it's not as good as directly communicating with the department leader. Shikaku needs to use the nail in the external intelligence department. He knows that there are many hidden informants all over the world. The last time Orochimaru's intelligence came from there. He and Zhiwei had a bet at that time and lost miserably. "There are so many things waiting for Aoha to do."
Youjiwei couldn't answer. According to common sense, Aoha was his former subordinate and took over his position. But, "I don't know where Aoha is. Why don't you ask the Four Generations for him?"
"He asked me to look for you, saying that the Soup National Capital is your former subordinate. You have only been back for half a year. With the Naruto Order, you should be able to command them."
"Oh, you should have told me earlier that you wanted my help."
"Youjiwei, I'm talking to you about something very important. Can you not be so emotional?"
"You were the one who came to me with your own emotions."
"…" Shikaku Nara once again missed Uchiha Fugaku. If he could go back in time, he really wanted to have a good drink with him.
"…" Zhi Wei understood that he should stay with Lu Jiu to get through this difficult situation, but he wasn't confident that he could command the people outside the perimeter. Many of the spies on the outside didn't know that they were actually serving Konoha. As the person in charge, he was in charge of the overall situation, and the ones who really contacted him were Aoha and Aoha's subordinates. "Hey, Dingzhuo, you came at the right time. Aiya, help me ask about Four Generations Aoha. We always get scolded when we ask."
"…" Sagittarius, who was passing by, put down the snacks that he brought for Zhiwei and silently went upstairs. He hated the double spiral staircase that connected the several ministers' offices. The departments were not on the same floor, and it was easier to meet up than in the old Naruto building. As for where exactly was Aoha Yamashiro now? In the dungeon, the Dark Department's dungeon. But why was Aoha Yamashiro locked up by Four Generations? Why did they not interrogate or ask him after he was locked up? Why did he feel that Watergate deliberately ignored Aoha? As the Dark Department Head, he didn't know. When he took office, he said that he would be controlled by the two Uchiha, and he had no interest in fighting for power with the children. But the feeling of being kept in the dark when he should know everything was really uncomfortable. Especially …
Naruto's office, during lunch break.
The atmosphere was very harmonious. The Dark Department and the guards said that Naruto Uzumaki was still an eyesore, but they had to admit that since Young Master Naruto was here, except for quarrels, sarcasm and endless silence, Naruto's office could also have normal laughter.
But Sagittarius felt more and more superfluous. Different from what he and Watergate showed each other, it wasn't that there was no grudge. On April 1st, Watergate's emotional breakdown and his quarrel with Zhiwei, there was still a layer between them. Although Watergate still entrusted his life to him and Zhiwei, he couldn't touch him.
Yes, he couldn't touch him. He wanted to massage Captain Watergate's shoulders and cervical vertebrae or apply plasters like before, but he was subconsciously avoided.
A ninja began to receive training from childhood. Even if it was an ordinary Genin, the body's sensitivity was very high. Coupled with the perennial missions and even wars, when you are in an environment where enemies may appear at any time and anywhere for a long time, you will be more sensitive. Many people find it difficult to accept that someone is standing behind them after a lifetime on the battlefield. If you casually appear behind a ninja without saying anything, you have to be prepared to be attacked.
So many times, the Anbu who just joined Naruto's guards will feel very uncomfortable, and they will feel embarrassed and nauseous. Because in addition to being guards, they also have to do a lot of chores for Naruto, helping to heat the food, wash the dishes, make the bed, and even massage the hair and wash the feet. In addition to Captain Watergate's need to be carefully taken care of in the past two years, it is also a convenient and fast way for the two ninjas to cultivate a sense of mutual trust between superiors and subordinates. When Hokage is familiar with your existence and aura in all aspects of his life, you will be able to stand behind him and not be killed by Golden Flash, and Hokage will be able to sleep peacefully surrounded by you.
And being subconsciously refused to approach … If time could go back, even if it was the news of Naruto's death, Dingzhuo would have to bite the bullet and tell Watergate. They have known each other for more than 30 years, just because of one concealment? Obviously, their original intention was to make Watergate feel more relaxed. "Your half-cooked cheese, I originally bought two, but when I went upstairs, I met Zhiwei and gave him one."
"Okay, thank you." Watergate himself was very depressed. He swore that he trusted Zhiwei and Dingzhuo. He knew that everyone was doing it for his own good, and he appreciated it, but the ninja's subconscious is really strange … When it comes to deception, Kakashi can't tell how many times he has lied to him with good intentions, but he has never had such a nervous reaction. "Sure enough, Cheese is the power."
"Yes, yes." Dingzhuo and Watergate awkwardly chatted. He knew that Captain Watergate now let him bring snacks for three meals a day and eat all of them to show him 100% trust. A ninja who has experienced countless assassinations is willing to eat your food without the approval of the guards, which is enough to show his trust. It's just that, with his relationship with Captain Watergate, why does it feel so awkward?
"Yes, Cheese is really delicious." Naruto liked this little change of his father. Snacks don't necessarily make people healthy, but at least they don't only think about work and work every day.
"Tomorrow, try my wife's salted peanuts." Sagittarius looked at Naruto Uzumaki, who was wearing a mask and standing quietly in the corner. He felt that time was really rushing, not only was Captain Watergate getting old, but he was also getting old. In his mind, Naruto should be a child who was always jumping up and down, and Kakashi couldn't do anything to him. As a result, now he was completely different from the naughty child of the past.
"Why do you keep looking at me?" Naruto couldn't stand being stared at, "Four Generations -sama, I said it's stupid to wear an Anbu mask in a Chunin uniform."
"Intern, Anbu Minister Sagittarius is your immediate boss."
"Sorry, Anbu Minister, intern 012607 says hello to you."
Dingzhuo returned the greeting, "Intern 012607, Anbu interns are like this."
Naruto instantly revealed his true colors, "Liar, I've asked around, no one has ever dressed like this."
"It's been like this since you." Watergate dug into the cheesecake with a small spoon, turned back to remove Naruto's mask, and stuffed a big bite into his son, "Dear Naruto Uzumaki, congratulations on making history."
"What kind of history is this?" Naruto muttered as he ate the cake.
"What, are you finally getting impatient? It's okay, if you feel bored, you can tell your immediate boss. " Watergate poked his son's belly, and then smiled at Dingzhuo, "When Naruto stays in the office for a few more days, the novelty will wear off. Anbu Minister, you can ask him to sweep the streets happily, do you believe it?"
"I believe it." Dingzhuo winked at Naruto.
Naruto couldn't do anything to his immediate boss, but he dared to stare at his father, "Hurry up and finish your cheesecake, then close your eyes for five minutes, you don't have a lunch break at noon today.
。 Meeting, meeting, meeting with four Kage for ten days. "
Dingzhuo also persuaded, "Can't you guys agree on the bottom line and throw it to the people below?"
"The four villages talk together, the bottom line can change at any time." Naruto forgot who his immediate boss was again, "And Uncle Dingzhuo, do you really think the deputies of these four Kage can be used to negotiate?"
Dingzhuo was speechless.
Watergate sighed, he didn't like to talk about politics with Naruto, because he found that Naruto could easily understand what he was saying. But Naruto showed a very strong interest in this, and occasionally exchanged his shallow observations with Asuma.
"Yes." Naruto counted with his fingers, "Don't mention our family's Kakashi, Eero's Baki, Mizukage's Ao, Lei Ying's Darui …"
"All of them only show one eye." Watergate hurriedly interrupted, he actually regretted it on the seventh day of appointing his son as an intern assistant. He felt that his son seemed to have misunderstood something, he really just wanted to hang his son on his body for protection. Amegakure or Akatsuki dared to catch his son, it proved that they needed Naruto. He didn't know what they wanted to do, but since they did such a risky thing, they certainly wouldn't give up. "Yes, all of them are disabled with one eye."
"Huh?" Naruto was still very inexperienced, and he immediately looked at the information of the three people. "It's true."
"Yes, yes, yes, interesting." Watergate looked at his watch, there were still seven minutes before the start of the meeting, he didn't want to sleep for five minutes. "I'm going to wash my face, Naruto, wake up Kakashi."
"Yes, Four Generations -sama." Naruto completely forgot about the negotiation, opened the small refrigerator, took out a cube of ice, put it in the glass, and went to the lounge. The lounge was bigger, but there was only one bed, he temporarily slept with his father at night. However, now the bed was occupied by Kakashi, who didn't take off his shoes or change his clothes. "Get up, you useless guy, it's just a morning meeting. My father slept for five hours yesterday, and he didn't come back like you."
But Kakashi still couldn't open his eyes when he felt the subzero temperature of the glass.
Dingzhuo listened to Naruto's roar and Kakashi's struggle and followed into the bathroom.
"What's the matter?"
Dingzhuo handed a towel to Watergate, feeling Naruto's stiffness for a moment, he suddenly wanted to cry. "Shikaku and Zhiwei asked me to help ask …"
"They're so big, can't they solve everything by themselves?"
"What did Aoha do, you always lock him up, there has to be an explanation." Dingzhuo probed.
"… Let me forget that name for a while, I'll say it again, don't mention him until the end of the negotiation and the end of the Chunin Exam." Watergate put down the towel and clenched his fist, "You saw Dingzhuo, I'm not as strong and tenacious as I thought, I also have a lot of things that I can't accept. It doesn't matter, I don't need to explain it to you. I just hope you can trust me, don't remind me of him now, I need a clear mind to fight for Konoha's interests on the negotiation table. "
Dingzhuo looked at Watergate's bloody palm and took out a band-aid.
"Did you forget, I don't actually need this thing."
Dingzhuo still stubbornly put it on Watergate carefully. He didn't understand why Aoha Yamashiro suddenly stopped mentioning it. But trust, well, trust.
So, the tenth day, the eleventh day, the twelfth day, in the Anbu prison, Aoha and Belt Soil were still scratching the wall.
"Hey, I'm so bored, Belt Soil, let's chat."
Belt Soil walked in circles in the small prison. It's been twelve days, but he still doesn't know what's going on outside. Except for Aoha Yamashiro, no one talked to him, no one asked him questions, no one came to send him three meals a day, he didn't want to eat it, he didn't want to eat it. Even the guards who dozed off at the beginning were gone, the whole basement was dark, only the light above was so dim that it was almost extinguished. The surroundings were so quiet that it didn't seem like Konoha. In Belt Soil's memory, Konoha was noisy, always noisy.
"Don't talk, and don't walk around." Aoha Yamashiro was not in a hurry, because removing the guards, lowering the light, blocking the sound, and ignoring people was the Anbu interrogation technique. Humans are social animals, whether good or bad, people have the desire to communicate with others, if no one speaks, they have to look at the stone and talk to themselves. So, if you lock someone up until they're about to collapse, it's easy to turn around and ask questions. But if you lock two people in two opposite cells, they can see each other …
Uchiha Belt Soil certainly understands this. Shisui asked him for two days, but he didn't get an answer, this is another trick. He is not afraid of loneliness, and it's impossible for him to not talk to Aoha, because who knows where someone is watching him and Aoha. Well, he can hold on for another ten days to half a month.
However, Qing Ye had no choice but to consider himself. Belt Soil's body, to be honest, doesn't have much time left. He still wants to use this body to do a few great things that will leave his name in history, if he is locked underground forever? Three to five days is fine, but if it really is a month or two, who knows if Belt Soil's body will become even weaker. So you don't open your mouth, don't admit it, right? Then don't blame me for being ruthless. "Harano Rin is a bitch."
"…" Belt Soil really didn't expect Aoha Yamashiro to be so despicable after so many years!
"Harano Rin likes Kakashi, but she's been deliberately wasting your time." Aoha felt that Belt Soil must be very interesting to hear these words coming from his mouth, "Yes, Uchiha Belt Soil, you are the spare tire that girl left for herself."
Belt Soil forced himself to pretend that he didn't hear. He had to think, how did Aoha Yamashiro escape? Aoha Yamashiro shouldn't be able to escape from the base! Shouldn't!
"Why do I have to keep you as a spare tire?" Aoha couldn't bear it, of course, not for Belt Soil, but for Harano Rin. Rin was only 12 years old when she died, and she summoned great courage to sacrifice her life for Konoha. In any case, she is a hero that should be respected and remembered. She shouldn't be made up by him, who has a low moral standing, even if she likes Kakashi and doesn't reject Belt Soil. But she was just a little girl at that time, a little girl who has just sprouted the bud of love. She didn't really think that much.
So, the one in the wrong was Belt Soil. Idiot, if Belt Soil was willing to look away from Rin, who was the same to everyone except Kakashi, he would see several girls silently looking at him. It's just that those girls are not as beautiful as Rin, not as dazzling as Rin, not as popular as Rin, who can gather everyone together to celebrate Kakashi. Ordinary girls will only give you ordinary looks, and if you don't have such feelings, they will have someone else to chase after. "Because Rin knows that Kakashi has no feelings for her, but boys always have some inexplicable sense of competition. Rin sent herself to Kakashi, it's okay if he doesn't want her, but it's not okay if you steal her. Do you understand? You are the little cannon fodder that Rin brought to chase Kakashi. "
"You …" Belt Soil didn't understand how Aoha Yamashiro could be so shameless. Fine, Aoha didn't like Rin since he was young, but it was better than Aoha also liking Rin, but why did he have to insult Rin? Such an insult. "Aoha Yamashiro, you're courting death!"
Courting death doesn't mean dying in vain.
