Yes,
It had indeed become faster,
He didn't do anything, and it was already May 9th.
Country of Fire, Konoha, Naruto Building
Naruto's office, in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window
Naruto Uzumaki received a Jonin uniform.
"Wait,
Kakashi! Me? Jonin! "Naruto looked at the grayish-green fishnet vest, shirt, pants, and shoes with exposed toes in his hand,
And his father's dark green tactical vest were going crazy. "This is too fast!"
Kakashi also felt that it was very fast,
He was the same as his teacher,
He always felt that Naruto was a child,
But the rest of the Anbu didn't seem to think so. Konoha Jonin was promoted to Chunin, and one had to have experience and achievements,
Or be liked by a department boss who wanted to use you, or else you would have to take the Chunin exam. Chunin Promotion to Jonin was much simpler. It was just two words,
Strength and appeal. To be specific,
In the process of fighting side by side with Jonin, you received their recognition. They wanted you to become a member of Konoha's Jonin and enjoy the same status and treatment as them.
Naruto was like this. After the battle with Payne,
Shadow Clone Technique, Revolving Oroman, and the bonus of the Force Of Human Column … Anbu said that they were going to save him,
But Naruto also saved a lot of Anbu who were almost killed by Payne,
"If you think it's too fast, you can refuse. It's just as well that you can't explain it to your father."
"No, no, no, I don't think it's too fast, I mean." Naruto held the uniform tightly and refused to let go. His little face was flushed. "Actually, Tokubetsu is fine. Hahaha, directly jumping to Jonin is a little stressful, Hahaha."
"Special Jonin is someone that Naruto or Konoha's higher-ups want to use. It's usually tied to certain positions, such as me." Genma patted Naruto's shoulder, "And Jonin is someone selected from among the Jonin. After that, they will report it to Naruto for approval, just like Asuma over there. He can take the initiative to accept the mission, and Naruto may not assign it to him. "
Naruto felt a little relieved. "So, Jonin seems to have more freedom in terms of time? That's right, that's right. I still have to take care of my father. "
"It's not to make it easier for you to take care of your father, it's because you've been recognized by the other Jonins of Konoha." Sagittarius was no longer the Anbu Minister, Shisui was now the Anbu Minister. Shisui took away the job of the Head of the Dark Department, and the Dark Department's internal affairs finally changed back to being responsible for the distribution of wages and benefits, the coordination of equipment and supplies, and the logistics team stationed in Naruto Building. Dingzhuo's current position was the head of the Dark Ops' logistics department. "Naruto, be confident."
"Oh, oh, oh, okay." Naruto was frightened by Dingzhuo's blinking big head. He wanted to be confident, yes, he wanted to be confident, he was recognized by the Jonins of Konoha … But, dad's Blackie really didn't look at him differently because he was dad's son!
"Don't worry, Naruto's son doesn't have that big of a friendly bonus. Konoha's Jonins have high standards, it's good enough that they don't bully you." Asuma understood Naruto very well. "Look at the unlucky Uncle Asuma."
"Hey, Asuma, you can encourage Naruto, but don't take advantage of everyone." Shisui took off his mask and didn't put it back on. "Naruto has always called me Anbu Big Brother."
"Why are you suddenly so lively, and I didn't say anything wrong, I also call Jiraiya Big Brother."
"But I'm two years older than you, two and a half years older. When I fought in the Third World War, Kakashi was still a Chunin. " Shisui knew that he shouldn't bicker with Asuma, he was no longer the bored young man who liked to have fun, but he couldn't help it. Ever since he jumped into the turbulent river and became a dead man, he really didn't … Shisui still liked his old self. "Well, you haven't even been on the battlefield."
"Who said I haven't?" Asuma is not a boring person to bicker with, but standing in the Hokage's office, without talking all the time, it feels so empty, as if they are a few thieves, taking advantage of the owner's absence to break in. When the Four Generations first fell ill, it was only him and Kakashi in the office all day long. "Okay, okay, the promotion ceremony is over, if you want to talk, go somewhere else, what's the point of standing here?"
"What, are you thinking about Kakashi's little desk?" Dingzhuo watched Asuma touch Kakashi's desk in an exaggerated manner and played along. Watergate was still alive, the hospital said that as long as he didn't die of hunger, with Konoha's medical conditions, he wouldn't die even if he wanted to. But what was lost was lost. A towering tree that could shelter them from the wind and rain suddenly became a protective plant that needed to be surrounded by iron railings and a roof. It was normal for the children who used to climb and play on the tree to feel empty inside. "Give up, Asuma. Even if you want to be Naruto's candidate, you're already over the age limit, the next Naruto must be chosen from Naruto's generation."
"Yes, Asuma, give up. Even if I sit at Sensei's desk in the future, I won't give it to you." Kakashi stood up from his desk with a smile. He wanted to see his guest out, but he felt that his smile must have been very ugly.
That day, when he threw the forehead protector on Sandaime's face, he was already prepared to follow Sensei and never return to Konoha again. Sensei didn't bring Thor's communicator, and he also turned off Thor's communicator. Sensei didn't take anything with him, but Kakashi brought enough cash. Their Four Generations leader, Naruto, had people serving tea and running errands for him in Konoha. Other than his underwear, all his clothes were sent to the logistics department … how could there be no one to take care of him?
Most importantly, the Intelligence Department mobilized all their manpower to search for Payne, but they still couldn't find him. So, not only Hiroyuki Yamanaka and the others, even Kakashi felt that he and Sensei would have to search outside for a while. After all, it was a kidnapping, not a murder. Also, didn't Payne say that he was in pain? He wanted Sensei to feel pain.
In short, Kakashi crazily looked for Thor's coordinates all over the world. He even imagined that by the time he found Naruto, Naruto would have been forced to drink amnesia potions and become a rebellious ninja. His hands would be stained with the blood of Konoha Ninjas. Wasn't that how it was written in novels? There was nothing more painful in this world than a father and son killing each other.
Kakashi even imagined that if he couldn't find Sensei, he would return to Konoha and become the Fifth Generation leader, Naruto. For several years, a terrifying enemy would appear in Konoha, and the enemy would be either Sensei or Naruto who wanted to take revenge on Konoha. Was there anything more painful in this world than a teacher and disciple turning against each other and killing each other?
But in the end, only a few hours later, before he could find Sensei, the matter was already over. The eternally late Heavenly King Kakashi, because he turned off Thor's communicator, missed the opportunity to participate in the battle. When he really did sneak back to Konoha, Sensei and Naruto were already sleeping soundly in the Konoha Hospital.
And he could only hurry to the abandoned laboratory to find the forehead protector he had thrown away. His forehead protector was placed on top of Sensei's neatly folded cloak.
In the end, the Third Generation leader, Naruto Sarutobi, with half of his swollen face, silently helped him put on the forehead protector and Sensei's cloak. Without saying anything, he turned around to change his bandages. Kakashi didn't like the Third Generation leader since he was young, because he didn't treat his father and Sensei very well. But this time, Kakashi was really sorry. The once all-powerful Ninja Doctor was now an old man who had to get dentures just because a young man touched him. Unlike Sensei who was defeated by illness, this time Kakashi truly experienced aging.
There was also Sagittarius who brought him a bowl of hot rice. After Kakashi finished eating, he went to return the lunch box and saw Choji and his mother bringing food to the Big Eater King and helping him change his bandages. Dingzhuo -sensei was blown up in the back by the Explosive Charm in order to protect the two Anbu.
There was also Youjiwei, who also had to stay in the hospital for a night. He originally only lost a lot of Zergs and was fine, but maybe he was too excited later and sprained his foot. His son Shino had a look of disgust on his face as he applied his father's foot.
There were also many other Anbu. Genma and Shisui called for single people to save people, but there were always people who brought their families.
And there were many more people. That night, Kakashi took the uninjured Anbu to patrol the entire Konoha Hospital. A child was born, an old man died, a young man got drunk, and a cook cut his finger.
Kakashi suddenly understood a lot of things that were different from the past. For example, why Sensei left alone, why Sandaime didn't stop or chase after him – people were not statistics.
"Kakashi?"
Kakashi looked up at the Head of Security who was still wearing a small sunglasses and a big trench coat. It was hard to imagine that this kind of person could sprain his foot, "Is your foot better?"
"Cough." Zhiwei refused to talk about this topic, he opened a folder and put it on Kakashi's desk, "Genma just called a small meeting with all the departments, they all said that the financial affairs are getting more and more overwhelmed, it is necessary to set up a new department."
"The Ministry of Finance?"
"First, each department will set up a special team to be responsible for the accounts, then set up a new department when there are more people."
"I have no objection." Kakashi said in his heart, "I can do it, I can do it," and signed.
Youjiwei dried the ink, "How's your Sensei today?"
"Getting better day by day."
"How about you?"
"Continuing to throw a tantrum." Kakashi smiled. To hide something, it would take countless lies to pile up, but to explain something clearly, it only took a few words. Now that it was confirmed that Sensei was going to retire, there was no need to hide the scrolls and the psychotropic drugs given by Tsunade. Yaoshi Dou took away Sensei's medicine bottle, and he sealed Sensei's Chakra, even though Sensei clearly disagreed. "And I think he's going to throw a tantrum today. Naruto was promoted to Jonin." “
"If you're really worried, go take a look. Take a look for us. "Youjiwei sighed," Your Sensei will understand. "
"Even if he understands, he'll still scold him."
"Anyway, he can't beat you now." Zhiwei wanted to help, but he couldn't solve the problem, "You should understand your Sensei, he can't wait for Naruto to quit being a ninja and open a ramen restaurant."
"Naruto has grown up, it's not up to him." Kakashi was prepared to be scolded at the dinner table, "Besides, it's a happy thing that his son is recognized by everyone. Sensei knows that he can't do anything, but at most he'll complain. I'm worried about Sensei, he still can't adapt to his current life."
Youjiwei sighed, "You have to know that retirement isn't a problem for him, but it's hard to accept retirement like this. Not being Naruto doesn't mean that he can accept that he can't do anything."
"But a person's treatment isn't like a tree cutting branches and leaves, it always takes time to recover." Kakashi sighed, "I really don't understand why he's always in such a hurry to recover. When he's better, if he wants to do something, if he wants to study ninjutsu, no one can stop him."
"Maybe …" Zhiwei wanted to tell Kakashi his guess, but he didn't know where to start. "Kakashi, your Sensei is actually a very insecure person."
"Huh?"
"How should I say it, you might not understand, but your Sensei is an orphan."
"I know."
"No, your Sensei came from an orphanage, so he's a bit special."
"Genma, Aoha, they're exactly the same, and the Yano-no-Me are a bunch of orphanages."
"No, no, no, it's not the same, it's not an orphanage." Youjiwei adjusted his small sunglasses, "If you insist on an analogy, your Sensei is actually similar to Yaoshi Dou, he's not an orphan from Konoha, he's from outside the village."
Kakashi really didn't understand.
"When we were young, Konoha couldn't even afford to raise the orphans in the village, let alone raise so many children from outside the village. But there were always parents from outside the village who couldn't take care of their children and left them in Konoha, and the village couldn't not raise them. "
"…"
"So at that time, because of the lack of funds and resources, the children from outside the village could only continue living in Konoha if they became Konoha's ninjas. Konoha raised them until they were 6 years old, and if they couldn't pass the Konoha Ninja School, Konoha would no longer care about them. Do you know what it means for a 6 year old child to survive alone in times of war? "
"…"
"Kakashi, your Sensei is so popular, but did he ever talk to you about his friends? Except for us who only knew him after he went to school. He didn't even talk about the people who were admitted to the Ninja School with him. "
"…"
"Because the orphans from outside the village were treated differently even if they became Konoha Ninjas. They did the most dangerous things, did the things no one else did, and got a small income. Medicine and ninja tools were also paid from the mission fee. It was the same even if he became a Jonin. "
"…"
"So, the death rate was very high. All of Watergate's friends died. They lost people fighting, lack of medicine and treatment, and practice ninjutsu. Don't you find it strange that Naruto's physical fitness and talent are so good, why did Watergate suppress his growth? Because in order to become useful to Konoha, Watergate and his friends took risks to practice many lost ninjutsu. "
"…"
"Why was Minato the only one who could use the Flying Thunder God? Because he was the only one who survived." Youjiwei's voice began to tremble, "Even the so-called complete version of Thor you learned was modified by your Sensei, and the map version is safe and harmless. Do you know what people who failed to learn Thor look like? Only pieces of half of their bodies are left, I'm not joking. "
"…"
"That's just the Flying Thunder God. There's a reason why the Book of Seals is only a Book of Seals."
"…"
"Don't doubt it, Kakashi. Otherwise, why do you think Sandaime allowed Danzō to form Root? Root is cruel, but it's better than starving to death. You're almost Naruto now, there's no need to hide Orochimaru's matter from you. Konoha tacitly agreed to Orochimaru's laboratory at that time. The injured, the incurable, gave Orochimaru a chance to live, otherwise, none of them would survive. "
"…"
"So, your Sensei is throwing a tantrum now, and even left a note before leaving, because he believes in his bones that useless people deserve to be abandoned and die. He didn't abandon anyone in battle, including the useless me, but Konoha abandoned him many times. And he didn't do anything wrong, Watergate is Naruto, he knows that Konoha didn't do anything wrong. "
"…"
"Kakashi, work hard to make Konoha rich, your Sensei thinks the current Konoha is not strong enough."
"Kakashi!"
Kakashi looked up silently, and found that the person in front of him had changed to Uchiha Shisui. Sure enough, people who were used to covering their faces couldn't show their faces, it was too ugly to have everything written on their faces.
Shisui also realized his problem, and quickly stopped smiling. "Itachi just contacted Thor, that Xiaonan confessed."
"There's some progress."
"Why aren't you happy at all?"
"I'm happy, what's the details?"
"Uh, Itachi is writing."
"…"
Shisui decided to take his dog mask out of the cupboard and put it back on. Compared to breathing freely, having a clear mind was probably more suitable for him. "Forget it, I'll go there directly."
"That's good." Kakashi opened the drawer and took out a black mask, it was as black as the door of Hatake's mansion, without any reflection, another one that looked like a pile of leaves, another one that was as white as snow, and another one that was as yellow as dirt. "New equipment from the logistics department, let the field personnel try it out, didn't the field personnel always complain that animal masks are not easy to use and are a little … old-fashioned?"
Shisui accepted it silently, and quietly put on the pure black mask.
It was hard to take off a mask after wearing it for a long time.
…
Konoha, 8 May 62
