In the morning, when Uchiha Itachi and his brother Sasuke set off from home, Sakura Haruno had already been waiting for more than 20 minutes at the meeting point. Kakashi still hadn't woken up, even though he had confidently ordered his three new subordinates to gather in front of Naruto's building at 7: 55 am yesterday.
As for Naruto?
Konoha, Land of Fire, Minafe House
8: 05 am
"He's just a nuisance." Uzumaki Naruto was eating the bread that his father had just baked for him, while complaining about Kakashi's bad luck.
Watergate chuckled and swept the bread crumbs from his son's mouth. "But he's your boss now, Naruto."
Naruto pouted. "Is there a boss like him?"
Watergate tilted his head. "He's at least a little bit like a boss."
"I'm sorry." Naruto raised his hand in front of Watergate's eyes and pinched his thumb and index finger together. "Not even a little bit."
"Not even a little bit?" Watergate narrowed his eyes and moved Naruto's two fingers away from each other.
"No means no." Naruto bit the bread fiercely, retracted his hand, and said angrily, "Why can't it be Kae-senpai? I always thought that Kai-senpai would be the one to lead me when I graduated. As a result, when the classroom door was pushed open yesterday, oh, the one who was smashed with chalk powder on his face was Kakashi. Sasuke was so scared that his eyes were spinning. "
"But you already knew that Metke Jonin was already assigned to a Genin class last year." Watergate took a deep breath and ignored the words "chalk powder" and tried his best to explain to his son.
"Okay, okay, I know. Lee Rock, Yasuji from the Hinata Family and Tiantian are indeed a good team. But Sasuke and I shouldn't be led by Kakashi. Isn't he the captain of your guards?"
"He's going to be my ex soon. Kakashi can't always be around dad, right? He's not young anymore." Watergate Daddy paused. "Most of the people around dad are men."
"So?" Naruto was very cooperative.
"So he has to have a chance to meet more girls. Otherwise, I'm worried that the Hatake Family won't have an heir."
"But dad." Naruto felt that there was something wrong with his father's words, but he couldn't figure it out. "But dad, dad, Kakashi is your disciple."
"So isn't it good for him to teach you?" Watergate smiled slightly.
"But if I call him Kakashi sensei, and Kakashi calls dad sensei, then I'll be the disciple of dad's disciple." Naruto squinted. "I don't want to call dad grandpa."
"Uh, we ninjas don't talk like that." Watergate really didn't know how to explain this very complicated issue to his serious son. "Aiya, what did Kakashi teach you, Naruto?"
"Obeying orders is a ninja's virtue … I've heard it so many times."
"Okay, virtue." Watergate Daddy looked at his watch and saw that another five minutes had passed. Looking at Naruto who was still muttering in front of him, he suddenly realized that he should remind his son who didn't seem to realize that there was such a thing as a mission gathering. But in an instant, Naruto, who was in his good dad mode, stuffed a piece of toast with fried egg and bacon into his son's mouth. "You must eat a lot for breakfast. Naruto, do you want some juice?"
"Yes." Naruto answered loudly. "But dad, don't you want to eat more?"
"A civilian ninja on vacation doesn't need to eat so much."
"Really?"
"More than gold. Do you want some fruit? Today's healthy apple is very crispy. "
"Yes."
…
Time passed unknowingly, and it was already 9 o 'clock in the morning.
Naruto Uzumaki finally arrived in front of Naruto's building.
"Huh? Didn't your dad tell you? Kakashi, unless he's outside the village, he's never on time when he's in the village. You mean yesterday? Don't make it sound like we didn't wait for him yesterday. " In short, Naruto explained to his teammates why he was late. By the way, he chewed the after-meal gum that his dad stuffed in his mouth.
Of course, he could also see that Sasuke's eyes were already strange. Naruto admitted that he didn't like that feeling very much, so he subconsciously reached out and waved his hand in front of his eyes. "Sasuke, wake up, even if you're in a daze, don't stand in front of Naruto's building. Although the door is quite wide, it seems a bit impolite."
"Impolite?" Sasuke's eyes twitched, and he pulled Naruto who was leaning against the door frame. "If you didn't lean against the door frame, how could I be so impolite to stand at the door and talk to you?"
"But if you didn't stop me from going in, why would I lean against the door frame and talk to you?" Naruto scratched his head, "I already said that Kakashi might not be here. Besides, even if he came, do you expect him to work for us?"
"Naruto Uzumaki!" Sasuke roared and pulled Naruto away from the entrance of Naruto's building. "Can you be more careful!"
"What did I do?" Naruto looked at Sasuke who was blushing.
"The title page of your" Ninja Certificate ", the one that was given out after the graduation ceremony. When we were in school, everyone passed the exam one by one. How could you give it back to the teacher so quickly! "Sasuke was angry.
"What?" Naruto tilted his head.
"The" Confidentiality Regulation "." Sasuke looked at Naruto's confused face and sighed, "Tell me first that you remember the" Confidentiality Regulation "."
"How could I not remember, you also said that you have been memorizing it since childhood." Naruto continued to tilt his head.
"That, that." Sasuke pointed at Naruto and was speechless. "Haruno Sakura, you do it."
Sakura on the side finally interjected. She opened the "Genin Job Manual" and found the "Mission Code" and spread it in front of Naruto's eyes. "Long story short, the place we are going to clean is the office area of Naruto's building, not the mission hall or the outdoor area. And we are Genin, Genin in internship. The internship is not allowed to enter the office area of Naruto's building. The confidentiality level is not high enough. "
"That means we can't enter?" Naruto frowned. He turned to look at Sasuke, "But the problem is that no one has ever stopped us."
That's because Naruto's son was followed by Naruto's Shadow Guard. Sasuke silently suppressed his desire to roar at Naruto, "Well, I have never been stopped when I followed you."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get to work." Unfortunately, Naruto didn't understand the meaning of the so-called "follow" and "reconcile". "The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go home."
"But we are Genin, new Genin, we are no longer the family of the adults. Do you understand what that means?"
"I understand, but what does this have to do with work?"
Sasuke felt weak. He took a breath and suggested, "Naruto, first of all, the most important thing is to find Kakashi."
"You should have said so earlier." Naruto understood, "Let me think about it. I didn't see him when I came out, so I really don't know where he went."
"Don't you have the Shadow Guard with you?" Sasuke raised his eyes, "Call him out and ask him."
"Call him and see if he will come out or not. There must be someone on duty in my house, but outside? " Naruto couldn't stand Sasuke's strange look, "I specifically asked my dad, and my dad said that he won't find someone to follow me."
Only a ghost would believe that. Sasuke was speechless, "Then what do you think we should do? The mission is only limited to today. Why don't you go home and ask your dad directly? "
"En." Naruto's eyes lit up, "Good idea!"
"Good …" Sasuke still couldn't curse. He silently grabbed Naruto who turned around and ran away, feeling even weaker, "Naruto, you are a ninja, a ninja! Sakura, what would a normal Genin do when encountering such an unlucky thing! "
"Since you have received the order, then obey it." Sakura hesitated, "Yesterday, didn't Kakashi specifically say that obeying orders is a ninja's virtue?"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
"Then we'll wait." Sasuke said firmly.
"But …" Naruto hesitated, regretting that Sasuke easily pulled him back just now. He was not very happy. Today, his dad was on vacation. According to the plan, he should finish the mission as quickly as possible and go home to accompany his dad. But looking at his two teammates who were inexplicably serious, he didn't want to refuse to be with them — Kakashi was really annoying!
So … one hour later.
Minato Residence, Watergate's room.
"Sigh."
Naruto of Four Generations sighed and simply covered his head with the quilt.
"Sensei, it's useless even if you cover your head." Kakashi, the missing person, also sighed and bent over to pick up the scattered reports on the bed.
"One, two, three … three teams of nine people … are completely at a loss. The other children are fine, but none of the nine of them can truly solve the problem on their own. Shikamaru was the only one who thought that the various difficulties everyone encountered today were probably due to the assessment, but in the end, because it was too troublesome and the other teams didn't do anything, he simply left it like this … really … "
"It's useless." Kakashi put the scattered reports back into the folder, pulled the quilt, and rescued his sensei, "Come, give me the thermometer."
"You don't have the right to criticize others — get hit by the eraser, kun!" Bo Fung Watergate took out the thermometer from his clothes, checked it against the light, and handed it to Kakashi, "37.2 degrees, seems to be fine."
"You don't have the right to criticize others — get sick when you're on vacation, kun." Kakashi confirmed the number again, then took the medicine box from the Shadow Guard beside him and counted in twos and threes, "Get up, the water isn't hot anymore. Take the medicine and sleep for a while."
"Okay." Watergate swallowed it in one gulp, "What a strange taste."
"Vitamins and antibiotics, hmm, various fruit-flavored ones. The hospital said that you're a little malnourished. "Kakashi was a little speechless," So we collectively decided to listen to the medical ninja's advice. In the future, we won't ask you what you want to eat, only the special nutritious meals in the cafeteria. "
"Okay." Looking at the Shadow Guard nodding around him, Watergate could only lay down on his pillow, closed his eyes, and waved his hand, indicating that he had no pressure.
Five minutes later, Kakashi observed Naruto one last time, who almost fell asleep with his eyes closed, and finally picked up the "New Genin Internship Appraisal Report" and prepared to go out. He needed to go and claim the poor trio of Genin who were still waiting at the entrance of Naruto Building, and submit the freshly printed report to the gentlemen in the intelligence department … Hopefully, it would be useful to them.
Of course, this wasn't an urgent document, so he slowly walked to Naruto Building while gnawing on the leftover bread in the teacher's refrigerator. But as he walked, he unconsciously turned in another direction — the 5A tourist attraction in Konoha, the Consolation Monument. Kakashi liked the scenery of the Consolation Monument, especially in this kind of graduation season. Well, it always made him instantly decide to go and burn some incense … Anyway, those kids had been waiting for so long, so it probably didn't matter if they waited a little longer.
Then, it was lunchtime.
Naruto Building Senior Staff Cafeteria
Intelligence Minister Shikaku Nara held the report in one hand and poked a plate of golden fried noodles with a fork in the other. The fried noodles had meat and vegetables, and it looked, smelled, and tasted good. Unfortunately, he had no appetite at all.
Sitting opposite him was the Chief of Staff, Hiroyuki Yamanaka. Hiroyuki had already finished the fried noodles in front of him. He took out a white handkerchief from his secret pocket, wiped his mouth, and looked up, "Shikaku, what are you doing in the cafeteria instead of eating?"
Shikaku finally put down the report. He rolled up the noodles with a fork and stuffed them into his mouth. As he chewed, he answered vaguely, "Didn't you just read the report that Watergate asked Kakashi to send over? Aren't you worried about your daughter's future after reading this report? How can you eat? "
"What am I worried about?" Hiroyuki Yamanaka took out a toothpick from the toothpick box and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully, "Normally, twelve-year-old children can't do anything without an adult."
"But they're not ordinary children. They're ninjas, ninjas! You know what a ninja is. "
"So, since we have the conditions now, why not give them a healthier childhood?" Hiroyuki Yamanaka comforted Shikaku. He knew that his friend actually knew better than anyone else, but he was a little nervous recently. In short, "Shikaku, even if you don't have confidence in yourself, you should have some confidence in Watergate. Leave everything to Watergate. Our Naruto said that the era of drawing swords and killing people for half a sesame seed cake is gone. Once people live in stability and prosperity, they will no longer be willing to die for some inexplicable reason. That's it. Right, how should I put it … Children now have the right to be picky about their food. Yes, look at you, aren't you the same? Tsk tsk, you're so extravagant that you want to eat leftovers. "
Hearing this, Konoha's Minister of Intelligence, who was indeed preparing to secretly eat leftovers, suddenly froze. He remained silent and looked up at his friend across from him. He noticed that Hiroyuki's eyes were a little red, and he wasn't sure if he was the same.
"It's shameful to waste!"
Shikaku Nara wolfed down the fried noodles that had become a little hard due to the lack of temperature until the plate was empty.
