The next day.
At one o'clock in the morning.
The ministers dispersed one after another. At two o'clock in the morning, they sent off Metke. At four o'clock in the morning, they sent off Orochimaru Jiraiya and Thousand Hands Yamato, who didn't want to leave. At five o'clock,
Kakashi took a shower and finally lay down in the lounge to sleep. He only slept for two hours.
At seven o'clock sharp.
He was woken up by the alarm clock and Uchiha Shisui.
Our new Naruto opened his eyes and was a little absent-minded. "Where's Zaizhi-san?"
"Let him go to sleep first.
What kind of guard is a guard if he dozes off. "
"Mikoto Uchiha still hasn't seen anyone?"
"Yes, there are no clues."
"Then what should we do?" Kakashi washed his face, brushed his teeth, and scratched his hair.
"What do you mean what to do? Keep looking." The Dark Minister, who didn't even sleep for two minutes last night, was a little slow to react.
"At least it has been confirmed.
Mikoto Uchiha hasn't been in contact with any of her clansmen in the past few days. Those Uchiha who still don't support Itachi haven't left the Dark Unit's line of sight. Even Aunt Mikoto herself is under the surveillance of the Dark Unit. You know, she has already attacked Four Generations twice.
She's mentally unstable and unwilling to talk to the psychological intervention team. "
"..."
"Itachi and Sasuke.
They were worried that their mother would finally be unable to bear the blow of her husband's death.
She found a place where no one was around to commit suicide. "
"Then there needs to be a suicide note." Kakashi sprayed hair gel.
"Blown away by the wind?" Shisui spread out his hands.
"Taken away by a cat."
"Mikoto Uchiha isn't the kind of person who dies silently." Kakashi continued to scratch his hair.
He muttered to himself in the mirror.
"Forget it.
It's not Uchiha who wants to cause trouble.
If she's gone, she's gone. Isn't my teacher in a bad mood because he often can't find her in Konoha? Especially when he's drunk. Maybe he woke up in the afternoon.
Madam Mikoto came back by herself. "
"But Mikoto Uchiha has never left Uchiha's ancestral home." Shisui lit a cigarette to refresh himself. "I'm quite familiar with Uchiha's ancestral home. Even Itachi didn't know about the secret rooms and passages. Kakashi, don't take any chances. This is different from the Four Generations. When we were looking for the Four Generations, the New Naruto Tower hadn't been built yet, and Konoha's protective enchantment hadn't been upgraded. There weren't even many surveillance cameras."
"I know, I know. There are no blind spots in Konoha right now. Even if Mikoto Uchiha was about to break down, she would still put a week's worth of food into the fridge for Sasuke. She wouldn't leave without saying goodbye. "Kakashi couldn't help but scratch his head.
"Kakashi." Shisui hesitated. To be honest, apart from Itachi and Sasuke, no one in the Naruto Tower or Uchiha cared about the life and death of the former patriarch's widow. "That woman couldn't have found out some incredible truth, right?"
"Don't be ridiculous. If she could find out, would she still need to force me and Sensei to give her an explanation? Suspicion and proof are two different things. " Kakashi paused for a moment. "Besides, do you think that woman would suddenly disappear if she had proof?"
"…" It would be easier for her to disappear mysteriously if she had proof.
"…" Kakashi stared into Shisui's eyes. "Actually, I thought about it carefully when I was sleeping. Letting Aoha return to the Land of Hot Water might not be a bad choice."
"…"
"Belt Soil was deceived by Orochimaru, and Aoha was deceived by Belt Soil. Aoha and Orochimaru's testimonies can corroborate each other. Orochimaru released Aoha back to Konoha, and Belt Soil was dramatically exposed. Aoha Yamashiro never had the intention to betray Konoha. "
"…"
"I've asked Genma, and Sensei just doesn't want to see Belt Soil's face … When I showed Sensei the schedule of the meeting yesterday, Sensei didn't express any objection. He didn't even frown. Otherwise, how could I forget about Aoha in the Land of Hot Water?"
"…"
"When have you ever failed to flatter Sensei?"
"…"
"So, instead of keeping Aoha locked up and making people suspicious, it's better to let him out. He said that he was the one who poisoned Uchiha Fugaku to avenge Sensei and Big Sister Kina. There's no need to ask further. We can just pretend that it's fake and that it's not him. "
"Let's pretend that it's him!" Shisui's feet moved again. "After Belt Soil died, Four Generations said that you should kill Aoha too."
"…" Yes, they did say that. But after Orochimaru came, they didn't mention it again.
Shisui saw Kakashi's momentary silence and probed, "So, why didn't you order Aoha Yamashiro to be killed? Orochimaru can even artificially create cells. Belt Soil's body has no research value anymore, right? "
"…"
"If you can't do it, you can tell Kabuto and Aoha will die of illness."
Kakashi scratched his head.
Shisui stepped on the cigarette butt. "Since you can't make the decision yourself, why didn't you let Four Generations finish his words yesterday? He must have already made arrangements for Aoha Yamashiro yesterday."
"…" Kakashi picked up the cigarette butt and threw it into the bin. "He said that he wanted to solve the problem left behind by history once and for all before I officially took office. Then he went to National Capital, killed the king, and brought Orochimaru back."
"It'll be too late by the time you're done."
Kakashi squatted on the ground and hugged his head. "One morning, I was having breakfast with Sensei. He handed me a boiled egg. I saw that he wasn't in a good mood, so I told him a joke. I said, this egg is really delicious. I knew it was laid by a rooster the moment I chewed it. Then Sensei asked me, puzzled, how did I tell which egg was laid by a rooster and which egg was laid by a hen? Because it was chewy? "
"…"
"He didn't mean to joke with me. After breakfast, I washed the dishes and he realized that roosters don't lay eggs." Kakashi scratched his head.
"You'll be bald if you keep scratching." Shisui didn't feel good when he heard this.
"Otherwise, with his worrisome personality, how could he just ignore it like that?" Kakashi stood up and stuffed his hands into his trouser pocket. "It's hard to say what happened to Orochimaru, but the king really didn't have to die so early. Asuma and Zabuza always told me to ask Sensei if I had any questions … He looked fine, but it was only because of Eddy Phosphorus and the all-purpose supplements that forced him to recover his physical strength … I shouldn't have let him leave the hospital so early. "
"…"
Kakashi patted Shisui's shoulder. "I'm hungry. I'll go to the cafeteria to have breakfast and get some fresh air. Help me sort out today's information."
Shisui watched as Kakashi wobbled up to the Minister of the Secret Service's office and directly jumped down from the window. He was afraid that Kakashi would step on the glass ceiling.
Kakashi didn't step on any glass shards and successfully jumped into Konoha's cafeteria next door. Under the gazes of the fifth generation, he received nutritious breakfast bread, iced milk with fruits, vegetables, and dried fruits, as well as two hard-boiled eggs laid by a hen.
However, he didn't have any appetite. He carried the breakfast to the door, but it was still empty.
7: 55 in the morning, Hatake's mansion.
The black door was still as black as ever.
Kakashi stuffed the hard-boiled egg into his mouth and drank the iced milk, but he still choked.
"Fifth generation leader, you're already at the door. Why don't you go in?"
Kakashi chewed on the shredded nuts in his mouth and lowered his head to throw a bitten straw at the old turtle of Metke's house. He suddenly wanted to fight with the watermelon head with eighteen big front teeth, but Guy was almost at the border station.
"Fifth generation leader?"
Kakashi nodded to "That Guy" who ran out after hearing the noise. He really wanted to change the code name of this unlucky guy from Root. "Is everything okay at home?"
"Okay."
"Where are Naruto and Aromatic Phosphorus?" Kakashi felt that Hatake's mansion was a little quiet.
"Master Naruto and Miss Aromatic Phosphorus are on a mission."
"Where are the Four Generations?"
"They're not up yet."
"Why aren't they up yet at eight?"
"The Four Generations taught Lion Ball how to count before going to bed yesterday."
"… I see." Kakashi's mouth twitched. He got rid of the horrible image of Sensei stepping on Lion Ball's tail and slapping him if he made a mistake. He chewed carefully and swallowed the last bite of bread … Why did Shisui suggest that he kill Aoha? Well, Sensei was right. When it came to politics and people's hearts, he was not as sharp as Shisui, Genma, Asuma, or even Zanzo. Fortunately, he was not that naive. Well, Naruto was a meaningful job, and someone had to do it. He could do it well. He really could. "Sensei! It's time to take your medicine. Go back to sleep after taking your medicine! "
Bo Fung Watergate kicked Lion Ball, who was lying at the end of the bed, off the bed after being yelled at by his disciple through the wall. However, Kakashi, who was about to go to bed after teaching Lion Ball a lesson, disappeared. "Where is he?"
"He's gone." The guard, who was beginning to be dissatisfied with his code name, hurriedly helped the barefoot former Naruto get his slippers.
"He's just passing by." Bo Fung Watergate put on his slippers, put on his long coat, and silently said a hundred times, "Trust Kakashi. He's Naruto now. Let him solve his own problems. He will learn to solve everything by himself sooner or later." However, he still felt uneasy. "It's a little strange."
"…" Naruto's retired sidekick, who was far away from the center of power, could only repeat the gossip that young master Naruto had told him in the morning. "After the meeting last night, Kato Jonin from Konoha Hospital was waiting for Fifth Daimyo."
"Is he hiding from Mute?" Watergate's hanging heart calmed down and lightly jumped again. Back then, he had Kina. Even someone as strict as Third Daimyo knew to let him go home early after work. After that, he had Naruto. If he didn't go home, his son would cry and make a fuss. But Kakashi didn't have anything. "Sigh, I've always wanted Kakashi to settle the matter of his wife before he officially takes office. At least he has to have a stable girlfriend, but he didn't listen to me. Now, Naruto has more things to consider when he's in a relationship than when he's an intern Naruto. Maybe he'll really end up alone. "
The well-behaved sidekick didn't say anything. He handed a bottle of water and a few pills to the retired Naruto.
Watergate obediently took the pills and drank the water. "You, Naruto doesn't need to be on duty at home in the future. You should also go out and meet more girls."
"Yes, sir."
"Kakashi and the others have always been …" Watergate looked around. He looked around again. Although he knew very well that even if it was a ghost, he couldn't force his wife to do nothing but walk around her husband every day. Of course, as a ghost, he didn't need to worry about Kina running away when she saw the handsome guy. In short, Watergate really didn't like to open his eyes and not see Kina. "Can you not always answer my questions and occasionally take the initiative to chat with me?"
"Is your cervical vertebra uncomfortable again?"
"No." Obviously, he was living an enviable leisurely life, but Watergate felt more and more … boring day by day. "Hey, who are you? Are you 17 or 18 years old this year?" “
"17 years old."
"You're not young anymore. My Naruto already knows how to date. Do you want me to help you arrange a blind date? In a few years, you'll also be a bachelor. "
"It has nothing to do with age. Kakashi -sama and the others are single because the Anbu masks are ugly."
"…. Hehe." Watergate took off the little guard's pure white mask and smiled. "Yes, that's it. Let's chat."
"…"
"Why aren't you talking again?" Watergate looked at the brush and ink on the desk and regretted that he couldn't stay up late. "You're a real man. Don't be shy. What kind of girl do you like? Bravely say it."
"Beautiful."
"…. And."
"Know some art."
"Hey, beautiful ninja are easy to find, but there are not many ninja who like art." Watergate thought hard while brushing his teeth. "And your conditions are quite poor. You have no name, no feelings, no past, and no future. Now you even have to serve me tea and wash clothes … Well, I got it. Do you mind marrying into the family?"
"…."
"Marrying into the family means that the child will have the mother's surname in the future."
"For example, Naruto Uzumaki?"
"Don't you realize that your words are a bit choking?" Fortunately, everything was as he imagined. Following such a sunny and enthusiastic Naruto, the poor little girl in the root who couldn't adapt to normal life would become lively and cute sooner or later. Watergate spat out the toothpaste foam. "Then it's better to do it sooner rather than later. Now I announce that from now on, your name is Sakai. Sakai is Sakai, and Jing is Jing."
"…."
"Well, Sakai, go get my breakfast. Now I have nothing to do except sleep and eat every day."
The guard who inexplicably changed his code name was confused.
But "Sakai" was better than "that person." So when Naruto Uzumaki went home for lunch after a busy morning, Sakai, who was a little satisfied with his new code name, returned to the Dark Department under the urging of the retired Naruto.
At noon, the lunch break was over.
Naruto's building underground Dark Department.
The captain of the Dark Department, Sagittarius, had lunch with his wife and children at home and took a short nap. Finally, he returned to his office with afternoon tea. "It's you. Four Generations, what can I do for you?"
"No."
"Then why are you here?"
"Four Generations changed my code name. I'm here to register it."
"Oh." Sagittarius walked to the filing cabinet. "What's your ninja code name again?"
“012420。” Sasai took his file, picked up a pen, and drew a cross around the word "Who" in a square. Then, he looked at the series of crosses in front of it and realized that there was no place for a new code name in the column of the previous code name.
"Write it on one side." Dingzhuo looked at the young man who finished writing his new code name in the neat handwriting of Konoha Ninjas and was surprised. "Sakai? It's rare for Four Generations to give someone a code name so seriously. "
"…."
"No, you don't have a name yet." Dingzhuo had a flash of inspiration. "In the past two years, some of you have retired from Root, and some of you have joined the Dark Department. You should have already registered your name. What did Four Generations say to you? "
"From now on, I'm called Sakai."
"Okay." Dingzhuo took back the file, changed the code name back, and filled in the new name for the young ninja in the blank name column. "I'll write you a note. You can go to the General Staff Department to register and get a stamp, then go to the logistics department to get a new certificate and salary card."
"…." Sakai, who had a name, had no problem with his name, but the code name ….
"Okay, go." Dingzhuo didn't think there was anything wrong with the code name at all. His captain Watergate even called him the Dark Blue Butterfly, and also shortened it to Little Blue Butterfly.
The retired Naruto's only bodyguard took the note and went upstairs to the General Staff Department.
The new General Staff Department was divided into two sides. The real General Staff Department and the Chief of Staff's office were inside, and the reception room was outside.
"Please come back after January 7th to block the door of the General Staff Department. It's the New Year." Chūdō Choji secretly swallowed the chocolate in his mouth and looked at the visitor.
"I'm not blocking the door."
"…."
"I'll change the file."
Chūdō Choji looked at the note signed by his father and sighed in relief. He couldn't help but be nervous. As the General Staff Department's security force, if he wasn't so big, he wouldn't know how many times he would be pushed aside by those aggressive Jonins. "Then go inside, go to the Secretariat and find Yamanaka Infield Chunin. She's on duty today."
Yamanaka Infield didn't have any holidays during the New Year, so he could only put down his half-filled flower basket and receive the strange Jonin. "Senpai, please fill in the correction form."
"…" The strange Jounin who was wearing a short-sleeved summer outfit that revealed a large part of his waist gave up on his public signature pen. Instead, he took out his own small brush and dipped it in ink to write seriously.
"Oh, senpai's handwriting is very good." Yamanaka Infield rarely saw a ninja who took the initiative to practice calligraphy, especially a ninja who didn't have a surname.
"Thank you." Yes, since it's not a code name, it's a real name … he finally has a name.
Jealousy is something others have, but I don't have it.
…
Konoha, January 2nd, 63
Today, Konoha's last nameless root got a name.
Today, Yamanaka Infield met a strange man named Sakai.
