60 Years in Konoha
Country of Fire, Konoha
July,
The sound of cicadas
3 o 'clock in the afternoon
Bo Fung Watergate finished his afternoon nap, got up, rubbed his eyes, and wandered into his study.
He sat lazily on his old sofa.
He raised his hand. The smiling cat face Shadow Guard, who was black from head to toe, put the afternoon's document in his hand. He flipped through it quickly.
He held a pen and was always ready.
Logistics report, the construction progress of the new Naruto building. En.
"Read."
The intelligence department said that everything was fine.
Watergate sneered.
He wrote, "Really? Give me a more detailed report. "
The General Staff Department hoped to get more staff.
The reason was the sudden development of business, and there were a lot of calculations about tax rates. On the other hand,
Suggested that a separate finance department be set up as soon as possible. "Approved, I'm only responsible for signing the plan."
Ah, there was also the Field Combat Department, requesting to hold a watermelon eating ranking competition …
"Approved, give them watermelon money."
The last one, the Elders' Council. Watergate sighed and opened it — "Notice of Retired Ninja Senior Commander Uchiha Fugaku Officially Becoming a Member of the Elders' Council." Naruto looked at the expressionless face in the report with the corners of his mouth twitching.
The corners of his mouth also twitched. He hoped that the Elders' Council would not become more and more chaotic.
Then.
He turned to Elder Xiaochun's report, "Several Additional Opinions on the Mass Wedding of the Young Ninja in 60 Years in Konoha." Watergate skipped the thick and long speech in front.
He directly found the last content about the time and place — mid-August.
Midsummer. Well, it seemed that there was nothing for him. "Do as you see fit."
…
Finally, Naruto handed the first batch of documents that had been approved to the Anbu department and picked up the ginseng tea that had just been placed on the coffee table beside him. He always felt that the recent days had been strange.
Kakashi was uncharacteristically active, and he hadn't made any mistakes yet. The economic development plan was on the right track, and the rest of the work was handed over to the special joint meeting. He only had to help out occasionally. As for the other jobs and the various departments … Bo Fung Watergate suddenly realized that Naruto was a wonderful career. If it could continue like this, it would be appropriate to consider Naruto as the fifth generation.
However, he had too much free time. He was so bored that he felt very uncomfortable. Who could tell him that when he didn't have to work non-stop, other than sleeping and daydreaming, what else could he do … invent ninjutsu? That thing needed inspiration. Play with the child? Why didn't he let him be free when Naruto didn't need to take responsibility? In the future, only his son would be busier and busier. How about reading novels? "Intimate Paradise?" Bo Fung Watergate thought about it and still felt that he needed work. If she didn't let him do something, he would keep letting his imagination run wild. The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help but think about those things that he shouldn't think about anymore … Yes, one had to look forward to life, but what could he do if he couldn't forget?
“011141。”
"Yes, sir." The cat-faced Anbu appeared again.
"Where's Naruto?"
"He went out after lunch."
"Didn't he have no mission today?"
"…"
"Don't you feel that your ninja number is very sad?"
"…"
Looking at the silent Shadow Guard on duty, Bo Fung Watergate suddenly realized that he had gotten used to the silly Fugaku's cub in the past six months. At least, it was fun to tease him. He sighed and waved his hand to let them leave. But when the black guy really left, Watergate still sighed.
He looked around. This was his small study room. It was really small. There was no space for a bookcase, a desk, a sofa, and a coffee table. Because it was on the second floor, the roof was a little leaky. How could it still leak during the rainy season? The entire wall was mottled. But it didn't matter. Even if the wall didn't peel, it would still be old and yellow. It was a temporary building during the transitional period of almost 20 years. However, it wasn't easy for him to buy it together with Chainai. At that time, the girl and the boy seemed to be too young. The girl suddenly blinked her big eyes and pointed at them to move things into the room. The boy could only foolishly carry things in one by one.
For example, when Watergate looked up and saw a huge crystal lamp on top of his head, he remembered the white swing chair with a pink bow that had been placed by the bedroom window. At that time, he couldn't stop it no matter how hard he tried. Kina's imagination was indeed much richer than his. He had said many times that this kind of small temporary dormitory, which was exactly the same as other people's houses, was really not suitable for this kind of crystal lamp. The strange swing was also meaningless. But in the end, he still installed it. He still remembered clearly that on the day of moving, he was sweating like a dead dog. In the end, Kina was so excited that she made a table full of delicious food for him. She held his hand and shook it, saying, "This is our first real estate. You must protect it well. Well, in our house, you are the omnipotent mistress. You can do whatever you want. "
Watergate smiled as he thought about it. He closed his eyes, as if everything was just yesterday.
Although Teacher Jiraiya always said that a woman should not be too good to her. If you were too good to her, she would take it for granted. She would be very difficult to satisfy. Then, if you were a little bad, she would cry and kick up a fuss.
There were also those serious old women who endured it, especially the wives of the third generation. They talked about Kina every day. Look at her. She was already so old, but she was not sensible at all. As the wife of the Force Of Human Column and Naruto, she always had to do something appropriate, whether it was for public or private affairs. She was about to get married, but she was still chattering all day, jumping around and looking for a paint bucket to paint. She said that she would attend the king's banquet tonight, but what happened in the end? She said she would not come. Look, she did not even have a dance partner. She did not like this kind of occasion? This was her responsibility. After all, her husband was Naruto.
Watergate sighed. In fact, in retrospect, he regretted it very much. At that time, he had just become Naruto, and it was so sudden that he was not mentally prepared at all. Therefore, even if he was very unhappy that his wife was being gossiped about, he only smiled slightly and did not say a word. If it was now. Kina, if someone dared to talk about you like this now, your husband would definitely jump out and show his dominance. He would roar, "I am happy to spoil my wife. It's none of your business. Everyone, back off."
…
"Sir."
"Speak." Naruto opened his eyes and turned around to stare at the Shadow Guard. He felt that he was a little irritable recently, and he especially wanted to scold someone. "If you have something to say, say it!"
The Shadow Guard slightly lowered his chin. Although he had been with Naruto for a long time, he was still a little scared. His Naruto could not feel it himself, but that kind of strong sense of oppression could really kill. So he calmed down and said, "Uchiha's Minister of Defense wants to see you."
Naruto softly said, "Yes."
The Shadow Guard opened the door and disappeared silently.
"You are living a very leisurely life now."
Bo Fung Watergate heard that the voice was not right and looked up. "Oh, it's you. I thought it was Sister Mikoto. When did you learn to be so polite, and you even reported."
"I am here to announce the resurrection and report." Uchiha Fugaku stretched out his right arm. The movement was small and stiff, but at least he could move.
"Ah, it seems that you have recovered well. Uchiha's Honorable Elder. Congratulations on your release from the cruel Konoha Hospital. I will treat you to a drink tonight to celebrate. "Watergate smiled and could not help but poke Fugaku's arm.
"I have quit drinking." Fugaku generously extended his arm, but only his left arm was intact. "Treat me to a meal."
"Konoha's cafeteria, classic fried noodles. I don't have any extra money."
Fugaku laughed and casually sat on the sofa like Watergate. "You can just ignore Sandaime-sama and the others. It is just a new air conditioner. I will install it for you. "
"Hmm." Watergate lowered his head and continued to drink his ginseng tea.
"I want some too."
"What?"
"The tea in your cup. It is so hot, and I ran quite far. I am thirsty. "
"It is your fault for not taking in a good disciple. Kakashi is filial to me. Ask your son for it. Itachi is on holiday today. Why are you here instead of playing with your eldest son?"
"The Elders sent me to ask Naruto -sama when he can return to the office normally."
"Wait until I gain another five kilograms."
"You have never been fat since you were a child."
"Let's wait a little longer. Anyway, I am not busy recently. I want to see how much Kakashi can do on his own. Besides, I have not had a good rest since last summer. I am really tired. "
"Up to you." Uchiha Fugaku nodded indifferently. After he was discharged from the hospital a few days ago, he heard that Naruto was on sick leave. He was very worried at first, but when he saw Naruto squinting and holding a teacup, he felt like his laziness was acting up.
Watergate was a little unhappy when he saw Fugaku stop after saying those two words. "Then why don't you hurry up and leave? My son will be back soon."
Fugaku felt that it was not easy for him to come here, and now he was being chased away. "Don't think that I don't know that there is no activity in their class today. Your teacher Jiraiya and the cafeteria chef are still in the detention center of the security department."
"Ah, the security department enforced the law impartially. Praise."
"You wrote a note saying that you enforced the law impartially and gave it to Naruto to show to the law enforcement officers. Who would dare to be biased? But Jiraiya -sama was not very happy at that time. He thought that you asked Naruto to save him with a note. "
"Ah …"
"Did you clear things up with Jiraiya -sama?"
"Yes …"
"It is your own family matter. Sigh." Fugaku looked at Naruto who was drinking tea unconsciously. He was sure that this person was not in the right state of mind. He just found out that with Bo Fung Watergate's level, unless he was seriously distracted, how could he be surprised that the person who came in was not him? He should have found out before he reached the intersection. But forget it, it is normal to relax in your own home. He has more important things to say. He doesn't know where the Sand Ninja's Ichibi is now. If he comes to Konoha, what should he do? What if the Tailed Beast goes berserk? Of course, sending Nine Tails is the best choice. Since Konoha has a strong Force Of Human Column, why not show it to people? So that those countries with a Force Of Human Column do not always have doubts about Konoha's strength.
But Naruto's son still doesn't know that he is Nine Tails's Force Of Human Column. How can the Force Of Human Column be used without training?
So Naruto needs to practice to control Nine Tails … But, how should he say this. "Oh, yes, you can't always stop Naruto from leaving the village. If he doesn't go out, my son can't go out."
Watergate sighed. "The elders."
Fugaku also sighed. "Don't always talk about the elders. I remember how you insisted on taking Naruto out to play in the winter."
"That was the last time."
"Bo Fung Watergate, I retired, so I will be a new member of Konoha's elders. I have the right to question any decision you make. "
"You can question it, it doesn't matter."
Fugaku continued to sigh. He really can't talk about Nine Tails. "The next topic, the elders want you to give a definite answer. How should we deal with the Sand's Force Of Human Column? Rumor has it that they should be arriving in Konoha soon."
Naruto also continued to sigh. "Don't say anything, don't do anything. Wait for things to be clearer."
"You have doubts. What are you suspecting?" Fugaku said that he needs to be more specific.
"There's no harm in telling you." Naruto glanced at Fugaku with a subtle expression. "Orochimaru once expressed interest in me, Eero."
"Orochimaru? Are you worried about Orochimaru? "Fugaku seemed to be shocked." Don't tell me that Orochimaru is not dead. You went easy on him. "
"Orochimaru is dead." Watergate sneered.
"Then what do you mean?" Fugaku, who has been resting for several months, can't keep up with Watergate's pace. "I asked Naruto's Anbu to share relevant information with all departments in Konoha."
"The confidentiality level is not high enough."
"Bo Fung Watergate! Believe us, I beg you. It's not 12 years ago. Back then, we — "
"Shut up. Don't mention the past with me."
"Speak properly, Bo Fung Watergate."
"This is my attitude. What are you going to do about it?"
"Watergate …"
"My son is sensible, obedient, and filial. I'm warning you, you'll have to bear the consequences."
"That's not what I mean. What are you afraid of?"
"You're thinking too much."
"It's you who thinks too much."
"You can leave."
"Watergate …"
"011141. See the guest out."
Uchiha Fugaku sighed and turned to leave.
After he left, Watergate also continued to sigh. He was willing to spoil his son. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with spoiling his son for life? Why can't his son grow up easily, live happily, get married, have children, and have some spare money and dreams? Well, although he eavesdropped on the Anbu's gossip that his little man seems to be obsessed with cooking recently, who said that cooking is not a good dream?
At this moment.
Konoha Forest.
Naruto sneezed and scratched his head. He spat out the grilled fish in his mouth with a bitter face. Today's grilled fish was as bad as yesterday's. When he went out to play with his father in winter, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. That was the first time in his life. What's wrong now? Naruto looked at the fish on the branch in his hand. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
How could he give this to his father? Naruto threw down the fish, picked up another branch, and walked back to the river. He narrowed his eyes, raised the branch, and pulled it back. Another lively fish was skewered.
Naruto plucked the fish, cut open its stomach and dug out its innards. Then, he carefully scraped the fish scales on the crystal water of the river. At the same time, he silently said in his heart, "Fish, young master, I know you are wronged. But this time, I will not waste your life. After all, it is wrong to waste food."
As for why Naruto ran to a deserted corner of Konoha to grill fish alone? As mentioned last time, he found out from Jiraiya that his father liked to grill. He also suddenly found out that Naruto of the Four Generations of Konoha was unprecedentedly free recently … Then why not have a picnic? Even if summer is hot, isn't it a good time to come out at night to cool off and drink beer?
Anyway, the white-haired Anbu Minister Kakashi is unprecedentedly busy. He probably won't come to make trouble.
Just thinking about it made him feel good.
Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to grill something edible. Naruto carefully skewered the fish according to the steps he used the first time he successfully grilled it. Then, he hung it over the fire and waited. After a while, the rich aroma of grilled fish wafted out. Naruto happily picked up the fish. He didn't care that it was hot. He bit into it and then breathed out loudly. It still tasted bad. It wasn't cooked at all.
He really wanted to try it again, but he looked at the sky. It was probably 3: 30 in the afternoon. His father should have woken up from his afternoon nap. Then, since he had nothing to do today, he should go play chess with his father. Although he wasn't Shikamaru, his father seemed to like him.
So, he should hurry up and clean up the mess on the ground. According to the "Konoha Protection Act", anyone who polluted the forest would have to clean up the streets.
Naruto looked at the wasted food by the fire and felt a little guilty. Then, he could only harden his heart and finish the fish in his hand. If he had known earlier, he would have asked Sakura for advice yesterday. But looking at Sasuke's contemptuous face, Naruto didn't want to admit defeat at all.
Thinking of yesterday, Naruto was even angrier. Their team didn't catch the thief, and the canteen continued to lose food at the frequency of three meals a day plus supper. It was understandable that the three Genin couldn't find the thief, but wasn't Jiraiya -sama here? Unfortunately, comrade Jiraiya and the old ninja master in the canteen were about the same age. The two old men went to reminisce about the old days. As for where they went to drink and find women, it had nothing to do with him.
Naruto snickered. Before leaving, he checked the ground again to make sure there were no flaws. Only then did he feel relieved and leave. Although he always felt that someone was looking at him. But as Naruto's son, it was natural for him to be followed by the Anbu. But if he knew that the Anbu were whispering in his father's ear, he, Naruto Uzumaki, would definitely go to Kakashi's office and turn it upside down.
In fact, there was someone watching Naruto's back, but it wasn't the Anbu, it was Eero. Now that he started to like sunbathing on the treetops, he was actually attracted by the fragrance. It was the second time. But he really didn't dare to eat the fish that Naruto's family's young master roasted. After two days of practice, his cooking was worse than his own.
Eero felt that he should be better than the golden retriever, so he followed the steps of the roasted fish step by step. Soon, it was ready to eat. Eero took a bite of the roasted fish that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was golden like Naruto's son's hair. He finally realized why the food he roasted before was smelly and disgusting. It turned out that before roasting, he had to cut open the stomach, remove the internal organs, and then wash it clean.
Satisfied, he continued to roast and eat, somewhat looking forward to tomorrow. He felt that mocking Naruto's family's young master was a very pleasant thing, more pleasant than killing him.
The phrase "be prepared for danger in times of peace" was actually quite disappointing.
…
Konoha 60, July, Summer, Annoying Cicadas
After a long time, Naruto Uzumaki realized that the good taste of his first roasted fish was given to him by his father, because his half-cooked fish was eaten by his father and Kakashi. And when he realized it, he was doing the same thing — he couldn't let his son lose face in front of his companions.
