Konoha, July 3, 62
It was still dark outside the window,
Naruto Uzumaki was sure,
He woke up after falling asleep. But how long had he slept? Was it five minutes, ten minutes, or was it already close to dawn? Naruto could reach the alarm clock at the bedside if he reached out,
But he didn't dare to reach out. Because he was afraid, he was afraid that if he moved and opened his eyes, he would wake up from the dream,
Everything would be gone. For example,
His mother.
Naruto remembered very clearly,
Before he went to bed yesterday, last night,
Yesterday afternoon, he held his mother's hand countless times. His father said,
His mother was a ghost,
She had never left,
It was just a coincidence that he could let everyone see it now,
"Kurama, do you still remember whether yesterday was real or fake? Am I dreaming or awake now?"
Kurama flicked his tail and didn't say anything.
Naruto was already used to it,
Nine Tails in his body. Unless he encountered a danger where he had to use his tail, it would be good if he could answer one of nine questions. Even if it was like when they first met, he got into the cage and told it jokes,
Kurama rarely quarreled with him anymore,
"Forget it,
I accept it whether it's real or fake,
Naruto Uzumaki is a man. I will never be sad about unrealistic things. "
After Naruto finished speaking, he opened his eyes and looked at his watch. It was only four o'clock. He was not on the lotus leaf of Mount Myoboku. He was indeed in his bedroom at Qimu's old house. In the summer, he was still wearing the frog nightcap that Jiraiya gave him... Naruto jumped up and rushed straight to his father's bedroom.
His father slept like a child. One of his legs was curled up and sticking out of the quilt. His two hands were by his ears in surrender.
This was not very common. Naruto remembered that in the Four Generations, Naruto's special corpse style was either to cover himself with a quilt or to roll himself up into a paper. Then what about his mother?
Ghosts shouldn't sleep, right? "Mom?"
"I'm here." Kina Maelstrom leaned against Naruto's ear. She watched her son wake up in a daze and run out barefooted in his underwear. She knew that as a Uzumaki, running barefooted in the snow would be fine even if it was -10 degrees Celsius, but she just couldn't bear to see her son without shoes.
"Mom?"
"I'm here, I'm here." Once the Dimensional Wall was broken, there was nothing that could stop it. Kina realized that ever since she caught Watergate yesterday afternoon, she hadn't changed back into many. The reason why Watergate could sleep like a lion ball today was because she had been by his side the whole time. So, Naruto, Mom doesn't dare to speak loudly. She'll wake your Dad up. "And you woke up too early today."
"Mom." Naruto called out for the third time. "Are you still there?"
"I'm here, I'm here, I'm really here." Kina looked at Watergate and then at Naruto. She couldn't stand it anymore. How could she watch Naruto's big eyes lose their luster? Although her mother could talk to Watergate when he woke up for breakfast, there were still so many hours before breakfast. "Watergate, Watergate, stop sleeping. Wake up!"
Bo Fung Watergate scratched his face and turned over to continue sleeping. He vaguely heard Kina's voice.
"Wake up, wake up. I want to talk to my son." Kina grabbed Watergate's ear and pulled gently. "Wake up."
This time, Minato clearly heard Chainai's words. Chainai had been holding his hand since yesterday afternoon and hadn't disappeared until now. As a result, Minato had been listening to Chainai's nagging all night long in his ears. She nagged Naruto, nagging about his son who used to be so cute, but who became harder and harder as he grew up. He knew that once his wife saw his son, his status as a husband and head of the family would plummet. Shikaku complained to him, Dingzhuo complained to him, and Fugaku complained all day long. When they first got married, Mikoto asked him every day what he wanted to eat. As a result, when Itachi and Sasuke were born, the house was filled with all kinds of cream and sugar. Itachi and Sasuke loved to eat sweet things, so even the small steamed buns that they brought back from the hot spring with their wife were filled with red beans.
"Bo Feng — Watergate!"
Yesterday, she forced him to take medicine and said that he was a patient. This morning, she woke him up just to talk to her son. Watergate refused to wake up. Otherwise, when he completely retired in the future, Naruto would pay for his food, clothes, and shelter. He would have no status at home. Maybe when it was time to eat, Kina would feed him the lion balls first, then feed him.
Kina looked at Watergate, who was groaning on the pillow and refusing to get up. She had no choice but to continue twisting his ear. She couldn't bear to use force. She wanted to tell Watergate that if he didn't listen to her, she wouldn't cook for him at night. However, she couldn't cook for Watergate now. Even if she was still alive, she couldn't threaten Watergate. Watergate could cook for himself. She wanted to say that if he didn't come to coax her, he would sleep on the sofa alone at night. However, she couldn't do anything now.
Kina could only sigh. People's desires were really endless. When she was floating silently, she only hoped that Watergate knew that she was still there. When Watergate confirmed that she was still there, she hoped that Watergate could talk to her. After talking to her, he wanted to see her. After seeing her, he wanted to touch her. After touching her, he still wasn't satisfied. "Forget it, Watergate, go to sleep."
Kina gave up. Naruto laughed. Yes, yes, his mother wasn't fake. His mother was always there. His father's ear turned clockwise and counterclockwise. Naruto laughed and covered his father with the quilt. It was indeed summer now, but when the doctor came to deliver the medicine last night, she said that his father still had to be carefully monitored. "Okay, mom, don't twist my father's ear anymore. I'm going to do morning exercises."
"So early in the morning." Kina pinched Watergate's ear and pointed to the wall clock. "It's not even five o 'clock yet."
"It's a little early, but I can't sleep for more than a few minutes." Naruto smiled and held back his tears. "I'm the head of the Minato family. Of course, I have to train well. I have to protect mom and dad in the future. "
"Okay." Kina really wanted to cook a delicious meal for Naruto. Her cooking was really delicious.
Watergate was between happy and unhappy. He was far from needing his son's protection, but he couldn't resist Kina nodding in his ear.
Naruto looked at his father's ear and was full of strength. Before, he worked hard to learn advanced ninjutsu for his dream and to show off his vanity to his friends. Now, Naruto Uzumaki, his responsibility was no longer to eat well, sleep well, grow healthily, and make his father happy. "I'll be back after breakfast."
"Okay." Kina waved her hand and couldn't help but follow him. Naruto was different from Watergate. Naruto couldn't wait to become a little fatty. Naruto had her blood, so training wouldn't harm his body. But she still couldn't bear to see her son working so hard. Teenagers were growing, and it was good to sleep in. Like Watergate, he worked so hard, but in the end, Konoha took advantage of him … Kina floated to the door and looked back at her thin husband. She came back and kissed the tip of his nose, then floated after Naruto.
Watergate felt the kiss and opened his arms, wanting a hug. Then, he hugged himself. When he opened his eyes, he couldn't see Kina. When he listened carefully, Kina had already run out of the window and was nagging. "Naruto, you have to eat first before you go for morning exercises. Even if you don't eat, you have to eat a piece of chocolate first. Of course, my son is the strongest, unlike your unlucky father who has low blood pressure and low blood sugar …"
"Silly woman, your son can't see or hear you." Watergate also nagged and turned on the bedside lamp. "You."
The Root Card Anbu didn't like his code name. He also had no future. But since he chose to follow the retired Hokage, he had to endure the old man's sense of humor all year round. He didn't tell too many lame jokes, and he would suddenly laugh all afternoon. "Good morning, sir."
Watergate regretted choosing such a person. If it was Genma, he would first help him up, Kakashi would pour him a glass of warm water, Yamato would directly ask him if he was feeling uncomfortable, and even Itachi would immediately tell him today's temperature, wind direction, humidity, and ask him if he needed anything.
However, Bo Fung Watergate's team had always been collecting problem children. Genma who screwed up everything, Aoha Yamashiro who liked to play tricks … Kakashi the hedgehog who no team wanted, Harano Rei, Uchiha Belt Soil who was disliked by everyone … and Yamato who was sandwiched between the Anbu and Root. Now there was a Root who didn't know how to cry, laugh, and couldn't integrate into normal society and communicate with people … Watergate didn't have any expectations about whether he could be reformed. Anyway, except for Genma, he had almost never succeeded. He just gave this unlucky guy a background in Naruto's guard so that he wouldn't be looked down upon when he went out. These people in Shimura Danzo finally had a place to go.
"Four Generations, is there anything you need?" After a long moment of silence, Gen, who only knew how to act according to his superior's instructions and didn't know what to do without orders from his superior, finally thought of his predecessor, Tenzang, no, Yamato, who was imitating him. "What can I do for you?"
"No, there's nothing." Watergate finally tried to sit up. He was full of energy yesterday, so he didn't feel anything when he was walking, holding meetings, or jumping around with Naruto. Today's retribution came quickly. His back was aching, his legs were cramping, and his head was dizzy and his stomach hurt a little. He really couldn't get up if he didn't take a break. "By the way, you also saw the objects or my ears moving randomly, right? Why didn't you turn green like Yamato?"
That person blinked. "Then it moved."
"The old Hatake house is haunted."
"Then make a scene."
"…" Watergate was speechless. He missed Kina. "Did Kakashi go home to sleep yesterday?"
"No."
"What can I eat this morning?"
"Yamato senpai is responsible for your breakfast."
Watergate looked at his watch. It was 4: 20. He couldn't sleep if he continued to sleep. He also couldn't do anything. "Where's Lion Ball?"
"Master Naruto took him out."
"And Eddy Phosphorus?"
"Konoha Hospital said that before they confirm that there are no side effects, please bear with it."
Bo Fung Watergate nodded. He had to bear with it. He had to bear with it. He had to bear with his retirement life. "Hey, you, what do you think? Can I call Kakashi now and ask him to come over for breakfast?"
That person pulled the phone over.
Watergate put down the receiver. The handover between the new Naruto and the old Naruto was really a troublesome matter. Bo Fung Watergate succeeded. Everyone said that if it weren't for the third generation causing trouble for the fourth Generations, Konoha might have become well-off a few years ago. But if Bo Fung Watergate failed, although there weren't so many "ifs" in the world, who could be sure that the new Naruto of the fourth Generations wasn't causing trouble for the old Naruto? Watergate was awakened countless times by nightmares. He remembered the National capital nobles and River country civilians that he slaughtered … Konoha might have a good ending if it continued to follow the third generation's plan.
As for Kakashi and him …
Three days later.
Konoha Naruto Building in the Fire Country.
Naruto's office.
"Kakashi? The Lord is seriously ill with pneumonia caused by drowning. He can be pronounced dead at any time. "Shikaku Nara reported very casually, and his heart didn't waver. When he was young, he followed his father and the third generation to visit the old Lord of Konoha. The old Lord of Konoha had a dignified voice and a cunning look in his eyes as he sat on a high chair. Konoha's Ninjas knelt down and listened to his instructions. The Lord of Konoha couldn't defeat a Ninja, and even a schoolboy like him could easily kill him. But at the time, Shikaku didn't dare to think this way. Even when he returned to Konoha, Dingzhuo, Hiroyuki, and his friends at school would still look at him with envy and jealousy. "Kakashi, when do you think is the best time for the Lord to die?"
Kakashi didn't have any emotions. "Dingzhuo -senpai, has the new Lord of Konoha been chosen?"
"There are three suitable candidates." Sagittarius put the three pieces of paper on the corner of Kakashi's small desk. "That's about enough. Go sit at Watergate's desk. It's not convenient to put documents on this small desk."
"Okay." Kakashi didn't look at the three pieces of paper. He held Orochimaru's bill in his hand as he struggled for the last time. Everyone said that the reason why Konoha needed a Naruto was because many things in the world had their own reasons. Everyone had their own pros and cons, and they needed someone with high prestige to make the decision. But Kakashi also understood these days that he wasn't as decisive as Sensei, Naruto. So, what should he do to best benefit Konoha?
Zabuza and everyone else suggested that he ask Sensei, but Kakashi knew that he couldn't ask Sensei even if he asked Sandaime. The Sandaime's opinion was only an opinion, but the Fourth Generation's opinion was equivalent to the final decision. In fact, he did ask Sandaime. Sandaime didn't object to Konoha taking this opportunity to reconcile with Orochimaru. Orochimaru already had the intention to reconcile, and the timing was right. It wouldn't be bad for Konoha. But Kakashi still felt uneasy. His intuition told him that Orochimaru must have something he hadn't thought of yet. So, he said, "I've already made my decision about Orochimaru."
"…"
"Continue to ignore him. If he wants to be Konoha's enemy, even if he has to cooperate with Nagato, the worst that can happen is a fight. Konoha isn't afraid of him. If he doesn't want to be Konoha's enemy, he'll naturally make the right choice. That's right, let's not choose. Let him choose. "
"…"
"Seniors, why do you have such expressions?" Kakashi was panicking before, but after he said it, he inexplicably felt at ease. "I'm Naruto. I have the final say, don't I?"
And so, three more days passed.
Land of Hot Springs, Hot Springs Cave.
Orochimaru looked at the dying experimental subject Nagato. He could only stop his experiment. He could do experiments for days and nights. He had the patience to wait for a result for the rest of his life. However, Konoha had already hinted so clearly, but Konoha still hadn't given him a reply. What was Konoha hesitating about? "Bo Fung Watergate! You deserve to die! "
"It's not the Four Generations Naruto. I've investigated. The person in charge of Konoha now is Hatake Kakashi." A person stood up from a puddle of water on the ground. He had white feathery hair and a row of sharp teeth. "Bo Fung Watergate is indeed very ill. He doesn't care about worldly affairs anymore. Even if he wanted to ask Konoha, no one would care about him. He's gone crazy."
"…" Orochimaru took a deep breath. "Hozuki Shuiyue, you'd better think carefully before you speak."
"Crazy is crazy. He talks to himself all day long and makes love to his dead wife in the air."
"…"
"Aromatic Phosphorus met Bo Fung Watergate in Konoha. She said that she's doing well in Konoha, and asked Orochimaru -sama not to worry." The fanged Hozuki Shuiyue turned back into a puddle of water as she spoke. Although Orochimaru -sama couldn't bear to do anything to Aromatic Phosphorus, he wasn't a treasure that could bring someone back to life after being bitten.
Orochimaru couldn't do anything to Aromatic Phosphorus. He only felt a headache and frustration. He didn't understand why every time he planned something well, he couldn't carry it out smoothly in Konoha.
Nagato was in a good mood when he saw that Orochimaru was in a bad mood. "This is the so-called big country and ninja village. They first stand on the moral high ground and tell you that you're a bad person. If you do something bad, you're a bad person. You're unforgivable."
Orochimaru didn't like the look in Nagato's eyes. He directly used a white handkerchief to numb him. But what should he do next? Orochimaru was prepared for Konoha to go back on his word, but his ultimate goal wasn't to collect the debt. "No, I'll go find Kakashi and ask him. Is his head full of straw?!"
"You're going back to Konoha in person?"
"Konoha can't stop me!" Orochimaru shouted. "Also, I'm not going back, I'm going to Konoha!"
Konoha isn't just a place name.
