Konoha, September 17, 62
It started to rain,
Uchiha Main Residence
In the small living room,
In the morning,
"Morning exercise ended so early today." Mikoto Uchiha put down her umbrella,
"You must be hungry, Sasuke,
Mommy will make breakfast soon. "
"There's no hurry,
I've cooked noodles. "Sasuke turned off the fire." Mommy, do you want to eat some first? "
"Okay." Mikoto Uchiha changed into her apron and went to see Sasuke cook breakfast,
Some of the noodles were overcooked, but the vegetables were cut beautifully,
The heads and veins of the prawns were also removed,
There were also two fried eggs that were a little burnt. "Mommy didn't know that Sasuke could cook."
"It's very simple to cook." Sasuke scooped out two bowls of noodles and then divided the prawns, vegetables, and eggs in half.
Mikoto took the bowl and chopsticks with a smile.
"Did Mommy go to see Daddy just now?" Sasuke didn't come back early today, but his mother came back late.
"Yes." Mikoto maintained her smile. She really admired herself,
Look,
Women were much stronger than men,
No matter how much anger and sadness were hidden in her heart,
As long as she calmed down, she could laugh.
Sasuke, however, felt that his mother's smile was even heavier,
When his father had just died, it was fine,
But as time passed, his mother became more and more worried,
"Is Brother coming back today?"
"I don't know." Mikoto ate the noodles and felt warm all over. This was the first time she had eaten something cooked by her son,
"Your brother is now in a high position,
His personal time will only get less and less. "
"Oh." Sasuke ate silently,
After eating, he threw the bowl into the sink. "I'm going to continue training."
Mikoto nodded. "What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"That Eddy Phosphorus won't come at noon, right?" Sasuke's whole body trembled. "Probably not. If Four Generations were to be discharged, Naruto would come to me."
"Yes." Mikoto laughed.
"Mom, don't laugh. You haven't told me why you agreed to let her come home every day."
"Aromatic Phosphorus needs to learn how to be a perfect housewife," Mikoto continued smiling. "Is there any housewife in all of Konoha more perfect than your mother?"
"Yes, yes, yes. My mother is beautiful and gentle, and she cooks delicious food." Sasuke really wished that Uncle Naruto would stay in the hospital for a few more days, but he didn't think it was a good idea. "Anyway, Miss Eddy Phosphorus had better take a fancy to the other outstanding young men in Konoha. Sakura is also busy with special training now. When she sees such a person, they will fight, believe it or not. "
"I believe you." Mikoto really wanted to see Sakura and Aromatic Phosphorus fight. Men had lost love, jobs, and careers. As a housewife … as a Jounin, it wasn't impossible for her to accept a mission at the Mission Hall, but she really couldn't bring herself to put down the kitchen knife and pick up the butcher's knife.
"Mom?"
"Go early and come back early." Mikoto Uchiha sent her son out. Then, she ate, washed the dishes, and watched the rain outside. Bo Fung Watergate had sent her a letter yesterday morning, saying that he would definitely give her an explanation. But Naruto's explanation …
The rain continued to fall.
Konoha Hospital.
Watergate looked out the window at Naruto, Aromatic Phosphorus, and Kina, who were helping to clear the well in the garden. He smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Kakashi followed his teacher's gaze. "Eat an apple."
"I want to eat an apple, not apple puree."
"Naruto signed the surgery consent form for you yesterday. Kabuto even prepared the operating room. Why don't you do it?"
Watergate continued to smile foolishly at his wife, son, and daughter.
Kakashi didn't dare to speak loudly. "You can't always feel pain if you eat the wrong thing today, and it'll hurt even more tomorrow if you eat the wrong thing. The problem is that your pain doesn't follow any pattern. The hospital has been paying attention to your diet for the past few months. Take watermelon for example. You were fine last month, but you'll be fine this month. Besides, who knows when you'll have stomach bleeding if you eat the wrong thing? Bleeding is a small matter. If you're like Hiroyuki senpai and have bad cells that shouldn't be there, then it won't be the stomach's problem anymore. "
"Happy birthday."
"Huh?" Kakashi stopped eating.
"On the 15th, I wanted to call you home to cut the cake after paying respects to Fugaku." Watergate ate the apple puree.
"…" Kakashi continued to dig. "Fortunately, the announcement was made two days later. Otherwise, it would be really unlucky to celebrate my birthday on his death anniversary every year."
Minato fiddled with Kakashi's hair with a spoon. "When did you develop such a bad habit? Don't pull your hair. You're already blind in one eye and don't have the face to see anyone. If you go bald, you won't be able to get a wife."
"If I'm bald, I'll wear Naruto's bamboo hat." Kakashi nibbled on the apple peel. "Who designed that ugly bamboo hat? It's the same in all the five major countries."
"Konoha was established first. Of course, it was designed by Konoha." Watergate sighed. "The first generation didn't intend to be Naruto at first, but everyone disagreed with Uchiha Macula being Naruto. In the end, he had to wear the ugly costume himself."
Kakashi played along and asked in surprise, "Really?"
"I remember when I took you to the Valley of the End for a mission?" Watergate put down the spoon. "You said that Madara was more handsome than Hashirama-sama."
"You also covered my mouth to prevent me from talking."
"I mentioned the Valley of the End to you so that you can imagine how funny Uchiha Macula would be wearing a robe and a bamboo hat. With the first generation's personality, he would have specially prepared such a funny costume."
"…" Kakashi was speechless. Whenever he thought of the name Uchiha, his eyes would twitch in pain.
Watergate slapped Kakashi's hand that was grabbing his hair. "I'm telling you, that canyon and waterfall were formed by the duel between the God of Ninja, Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Macula. You said that Konoha was just exaggerating the battle record of the village head. Isn't the battle record of the Golden Flash also exaggerated? "
"You said that you're just an ordinary person, and the God of Ninja is a god." Kakashi picked up the other half of the apple.
"Later, we saw the Kazekage's earth-shattering golden sand and the Mizukage's earth-shattering sea together. We finally realized that the Ninja was indeed a god-like existence for ordinary people." Watergate held the spoon in his mouth and crossed his arms. "Thinking about it carefully, I'm probably the weakest Kage in the five major countries. Taijutsu isn't top-notch, Ninjutsu isn't top-notch, nothing is top-notch. If it wasn't for the Flying Thunder God invented by Niidaime and I was the only one who could learn it, I would probably just be an ordinary Jonin for the rest of my life. In the anime, I might die before the first episode. "
"But now the big winner is you." Kakashi suddenly became irritated. "Sensei, why are you mentioning this?"
"I heard from Mikoto that you've killed Belt Soil?"
Kakashi didn't know how to respond and changed the topic.
"How do you feel?"
"…" Both of his teammates were killed by him. What else could he do? Kakashi found that he especially liked to use these words recently. "What else can I do?" "Actually, I'm not as sad as I thought."
"Me too."
"Hmm?"
"I said me too." It wasn't a big deal that Belt Soil was the masked man. Watergate had to admit that he didn't care about Belt Soil and Rin as much as Kakashi. Belt Soil was dead, and he only worried about Kakashi's future with an unlucky eye. Rin was dead, and he was still happily married to Kina. But Belt Soil was the masked man … It was like a merchant who had thirty sheep on his ship and asked how old the merchant was. The irrelevant question became logical when you found out that you knew the merchant and knew how old he was. Everything that was supposed to be ridiculous could be calculated. "Bring me the history of each unit during my vacation."
Kakashi stood up abruptly. "Sensei."
"I said, bring me the history of each department during my four-month vacation, from mid-April to mid-September now." Watergate stared straight at Kakashi.
"Sensei, we're talking about surgery." Kakashi squatted beside the teacher's bed. "I'll take care of Mikoto Uchiha. I know how important Uchiha is to Konoha. Nothing will happen …"
"History."
"Sensei!"
"It's not just Mikoto." Watergate became serious. "Chakra needs to go through all the meridians and acupoints in the internal organs to be refined and used. Without an organ, my Chakra can't work at all."
"…"
"Immortal arts are not friendly to bad people like me who are stained with the blood of innocent people."
"…"
"Now, as long as the seal of Chakra is broken, I'll still be Golden Flash."
"Sensei, you have to believe me." Kakashi was as sincere as he could be. "I can do it."
"One or two months is a little short. Four months is enough for me to judge whether Konoha can still work without Golden Flash."
"Konoha would have exploded if it didn't work." Kakashi stood up. "Konoha can work without anyone, even you."
"Kakashi, you have to have a clear understanding." Watergate pressed his disciple's shoulder. "You've never been on the list of candidates for Naruto. Your sensei has only been feeling unwell for the past two or three years. But you, from the age of twelve to thirty, have been in the hospital for eighteen years because your Sharingan overused Chakra. I'd be crazy to train someone who can't work for a long time to be Naruto. So … "
"I'm stronger than Kai now."
"So, it's been four months. Apart from the daily assassination attempts on Naruto by the Emperor, you haven't caused me any trouble at all." Watergate was really serious. "This doesn't make sense. Logically speaking, you should have caused some trouble from time to time with me watching you every day."
"…" Kakashi's breath was stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down.
"Yamato, go to my office and bring me the briefing."
Yamato secretly glanced at Kakashi.
"What are you looking at him for? My words don't matter anymore!"
Yamato opened the door.
"Thor, go!"
Yamato disappeared.
"As for you …" Watergate felt more and more guilty as he looked at Kakashi. "You didn't really cause any trouble, did you?"
"I didn't do anything."
"Really?"
"I really … didn't do anything."
"Then why don't you go and do something for me now?" Watergate wanted to see the briefing even more now.
"Sensei, you don't have to transfer me out."
"You've improved." Watergate breathed a sigh of relief. "Actually, you weren't any worse than Itachi when he was young. You know that you can't stay in school anymore after your father's death, or you'll be bullied to death. You also know that if you don't follow the rules, it won't just be a problem of being hated by your teammates … Forget it, Mikoto said that Itachi is still outside."
"…"
"Mikoto wants Itachi to come back to visit Fugaku's grave."
"…"
"No matter where Itachi is now, bring him back as soon as possible. Even if he can't come back today, at least he'll come back a few days later. Then, you'll take over Itachi's job until he comes back."
"…" Kakashi really wanted to take off the cloth on his arm right now, and then yell at his teacher, "I quit, I quit being the Hokage, okay?!" I didn't want to do it in the first place! " But he knew that he couldn't. Four months of working like Naruto had changed him.
"Go." Watergate looked at Kakashi's clenched and unclenched fists and sighed secretly. "Yamato, come in."
Kakashi disappeared the moment Yamato pushed the door open.
Watergate sighed again and prepared to look at the large number of explosive charms intercepted by the Anbu. He knew that Kakashi took out some of the explosive charms to equip the Anbu, but there were so many left that he shouldn't have stored them … Sure enough, he just stored them. "Well, but I can't figure out what to do, so it's not wrong to leave them here for now."
"What's not wrong?"
"Kakashi."
"Wait! Watergate, what are you looking at? "
"Briefing." Watergate felt cold all over. When he looked up, he saw Kina's head floating through the wall. "You're back so soon. I'm checking Kakashi's homework."
"Homework?" Kina Maelstrom spat out these two words. She could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. "Konoha, Konoha! Can you stop mentioning Konoha! Isn't it better to let Konoha fend for itself?! "
"I don't want to care, I just want to take a look. I'm a little curious, cough, yes, a little curious." Watergate cursed in his heart. Naruto shouldn't have been able to clear all the sewers so quickly.
"But I don't need to watch my son from the beginning to the end!" Kina Maelstrom threw out one report after another. She could even push a single one. "Bo Fung Watergate, you're really not suitable to be Naruto again. Kakashi has already been accepted by Konoha. If you interfere, you'll only hurt Kakashi's prestige! You'll make him lose confidence again! Do you know how important self-confidence is to a Naruto?! "
"I'm not interfering," Watergate explained. "I'm just taking a look. If there's no major problem, I'll be able to perform the surgery in peace. You don't want to see me die from stomach pain again, right? "
"Die, die, die, die! Why don't you just die from the pain!"
"Ah, Kina, don't pinch my thigh, it hurts, it hurts! Let go, Yamato's still here! Ahhh! "
Yamato looked at the papers flying all over the room and listened to Naruto beg for mercy. His face was no longer green. He had completely believed in the existence of Kina's sister. The Four Generations were good at lying, but their acting skills were actually not good. Therefore, as time passed, many people around him began to doubt the existence of a spirit behind the scenes.
"Yamato, Yamato!"
Yamato silently closed the door. He had already found a pattern. When the Four Generations called him, he suddenly felt a chill. It was when Kina ordered him to leave. "Young Master Naruto, your parents are arguing again."
In the garden downstairs.
Naruto Uzumaki looked up and continued digging through the sewers. Ever since Daddy refused the surgery yesterday, Mommy had been arguing with Daddy … Hmm, or Daddy was being beaten up one-sidedly? In any case, Daddy was being pinched until he cried out. However, Naruto did not sympathize with Daddy at all. Yes, Naruto was sure that he was definitely on Mommy's side. Daddy's stomach problem was indeed getting worse. It was already an old problem that was difficult to cure. Now, he was taking a lot of medicine to maintain his heart muscle every day. It was hard to say that these medicine had no effect on his stomach … In any case, Mommy should continue to educate Daddy with her loving thumb and index finger!
Aromatic Phosphorus took off her gloves and was about to go upstairs to persuade him. She was definitely on Watergate Daddy's side. Watergate Daddy must have his reasons for not wanting to do the surgery immediately. Golden Flash had never tasted defeat in his life! And yesterday, he saw the surgery notice with so many risks and troublesome sequelae …
"Come back." Naruto grabbed Aromatic Phosphorus. "Mommy, if you can't do it, there's still Kakashi. If Kakashi can't do it, there's still me. You? This is my family's internal affairs. "
Aromatic Phosphorus ground her teeth for a while. She only hoped that Kakashi could persuade her!
However,
Kakashi was already standing in Amegakure.
In Amegakure, it was sunny.
Itachi was more amiable to see Kakashi than to see Sasuke. It's been almost half a year. He hasn't returned to Konoha for almost half a year. "Fifth Generation Leader, you're here to invite me to your inauguration ceremony. It must be the inauguration ceremony. You can't miss the inauguration ceremony!"
Kakashi didn't know whether he could still be the Fifth Generation Leader or not. He couldn't imagine how Sensei would react after reading the briefing. But he wasn't afraid! Yes! He wasn't afraid of Sensei anymore!
Itachi looked at the burning fighting spirit in Kakashi's eyes, and his fingers were ready to move. In Konoha, a fight between an Anbu field captain and a candidate for Naruto could be easily misunderstood as a political issue. But outside — a spar was a spar!
Kakashi didn't understand why Itachi suddenly spat out a fireball and rushed over. "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?"
"Didn't you want to fight with me?"
"When did I say I wanted to fight with you!"
"Your eyes."
"…" Kakashi looked at the Anbu around and quickly pulled Itachi into the house. "Your mom wants you to go home for dinner."
"Oh." Itachi didn't ask much. He thought he couldn't say goodbye to his dad this year.
"You're not going back yet." Kakashi took off Itachi's hand on his shoulder.
"You're not taking me back?"
"Shisui hasn't given you Thor yet?"
"He has to see me first!" Itachi was too lazy to argue with Kakashi. He was deceived by Naruto more than once or twice. "Forget it, I can use Summoning Jutsu to fly back."
Kakashi listlessly watched Itachi jump on a huge eagle and soar into the sky. Only then did he remember, "Hey, your seal!"
Itachi didn't care about Kakashi. He could finally go home. He wanted to go home.
He didn't need to pick a good day to go home.
