Konoha, September 16, 60
,
Before dawn, the mess after last night's revelry had been cleaned up as if nothing had happened … This was a military fortress deliberately built in a place where the military would fight for — the Country of Fire, Konoha.
7: 45 in the morning.
Those who should go to work go to work, and those who should go to school go to school.
Uchiha Itachi, who was not released by Naruto last night, yawned and opened the door of Naruto's office.
Then he opened the window,
He fetched water,
He swept the floor,
Sprinkled water, wiped the table..
Finally, the poor guard captain on duty in Naruto's office saw a small note on the huge desk,
There were a few pieces of colorful wedding candy on it,
Putting aside the candy,
It was a handwritten letter from Naruto — I was on duty last night,
I didn't go to work today — Bo Fung Watergate.
Itachi picked up the note and sighed deeply. The Shadow Guard, who claimed to be in contact with Naruto the longest every day, found that his changes had changed a lot recently.
His master had changed a lot recently. During winter and spring, she really wanted to work 26 hours a day. Now? Itachi shook his head. Anyway, Naruto's life was now a matter of "Root". Of course, according to his understanding, Root was also an inseparable part of Naruto's Dark Unit,
It was just that they were not under the control of the Dark Minister Kakashi. But just because they were not under the control of the Dark Minister, the Dark Unit had to deal with the "Root" every day? He didn't understand what his colleagues were thinking. Anyway, he got along quite well with the "Root" who protected Naruto, better than with the Dark Unit. But this was not important,
The important thing was..,
It was more important for him to give Naruto's leave of absence today to the General Staff Department before the regular meeting at work — Naruto's leave of absence also had to be reported to the General Staff Department. As for whether it was approved or not? So what if it was not approved? Naruto couldn't control this,
Really.
Itachi put the note in his arms,
Decided not to waste this work of relaxing his muscles and bones. He had to run all the way. If he didn't run, his bones would rust.
8: 30 in the morning
General Staff Office
"Is there any logical connection between being on duty yesterday and not working today?" Konoha's Chief of Staff roared as he showed Naruto's letter of leave to everyone.
"That's why they didn't write 'because — so'! Who do you think he is? He's a golden flash who does things almost flawlessly. " The Minister of Intelligence was secretly laughing, but he didn't say the second half of his sentence out loud. Only when he was clear-headed would he be able to keep his mouth shut.
"But …" The head of the logistics department sighed. He pointed at the pieces of the kissing doll that he had 'accidentally' crushed on the table. "Sir Four Generations … Then … What about these kissing dolls?"
"Even if Minato comes, he won't be able to solve the problem!" The young Elder Uchiha Fugaku picked up the ceramic shards and gloated, "You'd better think of a solution yourselves."
"We don't have any solution!" Chief of Staff Hiroyuki lowered his head and sighed. He picked up a kissing doll and also "accidentally" crushed it. He copied Fugaku and picked up the shards. There was nothing in the shards. "Anyway, Uchiha Fugaku, forgive me for not being smart enough. Although you have conveyed the Elders' idea, I still don't understand why the Elders bought so many kissing dolls. I don't understand why these damn kissing dolls didn't work yesterday. I don't understand what to do with these damn kissing dolls now. "
"We have to think of a way even if we don't have a solution. We've already bought them and spent the money. We can't get a refund." Fugaku handed another kissing doll to Shikaku, but Shikaku didn't take it. "Anyway, now the Elders have asked us to solve this problem. We can only try our best to solve this problem."
"They are asking you to solve this problem, right?" Calculator No. 1, who suddenly transformed into a calculator, said coldly to Fugaku.
Seeing that Hiroyuki couldn't maintain his human nature, Shikaku also transformed into calculator No. 2. "I don't understand this problem. Ask someone else. Why don't we try to break through the double blockade of Anbu and Root and ask Watergate?"
Uchiha Fugaku instantly wanted to turn into a calculator, but he still gave in. "It's my fault. As the youngest, the most inexperienced, and the weakest Elder in the Elders' Association, I couldn't stop those legendary figures. It's my fault. Anyway, it's just some useless kissing dolls. Just deduct the money from my pension. "
"Okay! You said it. "Hinata slammed her hand on the table.
"Yeah, we know that the Uchiha family is responsible." Hiroyuki and Shikaku followed.
"Hey!" Fugaku was about to cry. "You guys are not loyal."
"Then what should we do?!" Hinata slammed the table again. "Why don't we just leave it here and wait for Watergate to deal with it … After all, the dolls won't go bad!"
Then …
Uchiha Fugaku watched as the three of them started working together as usual when Naruto wasn't around. None of them paid him any attention. Fugaku had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye, because the Anbu on duty had already begun to invite him out. If it was before, he would be working in this room now, if his damn right shoulder wasn't injured … In fact, with this old injury, he could still continue to be the head of the security department, but the elders of the Uchiha Clan felt that he should take advantage of the time when Yondaime was on sick leave and couldn't be a member of the council. Because that was the only place in Konoha where Bo Fung Watergate didn't have control. If Watergate was working normally at that time, he definitely wouldn't have let a Uchiha go there to stir up trouble.
Fugaku felt that it was for the benefit of the Uchiha family anyway, and he also didn't like the busy work in the security department. Moreover, why did he have to fall out with the old men in the family?
But now he regretted it. He preferred to work overtime, and he preferred to be with his former comrades and teammates. The feeling of being excluded was really bad.
As for the kissing dolls?
Fugaku looked at the pile of ceramic shards in his hand that he had "accidentally" pinched out … but there was still nothing in the wreckage of the shards.
Could it really be that Elder Xiao Chun was just playing a prank because he had nothing better to do? But if this old woman simply wanted to kiss all the kissing dolls on the ground during the wedding, then she could just find two Chunin and create a bunch of Shadow Clones to do it. And Sandaime-sama too, he actually said something like: "This is a good idea. Buy all the kissing dolls in Konoha, and in the future, there won't be any embarrassing incidents of opening wedding gifts and placing kissing dolls on all the windowsills in the house … Well, I've already reminded Watergate to restrict advertising when opening Konoha's commercial market!" At first, it was just an advertisement for the kissing dolls, saying that only kissing dolls were the best blessing gifts. How did it become that kissing dolls must be given at the wedding? Were ninjas also so easily influenced by advertisements?
But this was also good. Fugaku thought about his niece who finally got married into the Hinata family. Although her grandfather still wanted her to bring back something from the Hinata family. But as an uncle, he was more concerned about the couple before opening their wedding gifts. At least they wouldn't be so embarrassed that they couldn't go to bed because of all the kissing dolls … He really didn't know how their wedding night would be like.
…
"I don't know how those guys went on their wedding night yesterday …"
The first thing Kakashi did when he woke up from his sleep wasn't to open his eyes, but to think about the above question. Then, he suddenly touched his face. Fortunately, the mask was still there.
Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. He finally got up while holding his cracked head and began to think about the current situation … Hopefully, it wasn't that bad. Kakashi, who was well aware that he was drunk last night, prayed and opened his eyes. Golden sunlight shone through the curtains. Kakashi focused his eyes and saw the pattern on the curtains — a laughing green frog. Many years ago, when Naruto was crying and shouting that he didn't want to sleep in a room full of Uzumaki leaf totems, he and his teacher went to the National Capital to have it custom-made for Thor.
Kakashi sighed. This was Naruto's room. He slept in Naruto's room last night. Then where did Naruto sleep last night? Kakashi, who had a hangover, was still not very clear-headed. Damn it, he needed to take cold medicine … This idiot, who still remembered that he had a cold, sniffed his nose and suddenly found that his cold seemed to be completely cured. Was it true that alcohol could cure colds?
Kakashi staggered to the toilet. The moment he saw the toilet, he finally realized that he had a more important physiological problem to solve.
A few minutes later, the yawning drunkard reluctantly showed himself in the mirror. Kakashi didn't want to see himself with a hangover, let alone a drunkard who had a cold. But after all, he had to go out to meet someone. At least, he had to ask about what happened after he fell asleep on the sofa in Sensei's house.
But Kakashi worried too much. He was clean in the mirror. His clothes were brand new inside and outside. There wasn't a trace of dirt on them. Kakashi was frightened. Damn it, did his subordinates finally see his face?!
Kakashi, who was still not very clear-headed, rushed out of the door and directly rushed into Sensei's room without looking at Gen who was on duty.
…
"Clang!"
Naruto Uzumaki stood on the bed, rubbing his fluffy eyes and throwing away the mucus. He looked up at Kakashi who was standing obediently by the wall because his clothes were nailed to the wall. He asked curiously, "Kakashi, are you playing a game of throwing knives in real life?"
No … Kakashi didn't have time to wipe off his cold sweat. He gently took the shuriken off his neck. He was already shocked by Naruto's speed just now. He was a Jonin, no, a Kage level ninja, but he didn't dodge? The Force Of Human Column was really scary.
"Kakashi, shut up, I want to sleep!" Bo Fung Watergate also sat up, but he covered his eyes to block the faint light outside the door and immediately lay down again.
Kakashi swallowed. It was Naruto's words just now.
Naruto was a little sober because of his father's low roar. He glanced at Kakashi who was in a daze, and then walked out with Kakashi with his hands behind his back.
In the living room
"What's wrong?" Naruto continued to rub his eyes and yawn. The feeling of being woken up by someone and waking up by himself was very different.
He was the one who wanted to ask what happened the most! Kakashi looked at Naruto whose eyes were almost closed and didn't say anything. Although he had always been a thick-skinned bastard, he was still a man, and it was really embarrassing for him to ask who changed his clothes, not to mention that the person in front of him was a junior.
"Why don't you say anything?" Naruto was still waiting for an answer.
Kakashi still didn't say anything. He thought it might be a better idea to ask his subordinates.
But Naruto suddenly reacted and shouted, "Kakashi, you finally slept enough! Can you get up? Why don't you sleep for a few more days! "
Seeing that Naruto was completely awake, Kakashi finally opened his mouth. Well, like all hungover people, his voice was a little hoarse, "What's going on? I can't remember. "
Naruto was angry when he heard this, but he still took out two cartons of milk from the fridge, threw one to Kakashi, and drank the other one.
Kakashi was depressed. Compared to drinking milk, he wanted to know what happened more, so he gritted his teeth, "Naruto, say it. You can ask for anything!"
Naruto finally raised his face and grinned, "I can ask for anything?"
Kakashi closed his eyes and nodded, "You can ask for anything. You can even ask for" Intimate Paradise "!"
Naruto curled his lips, "I'll buy that kind of thing myself if I want to see it. Teach me Thor."
Kakashi nodded, then suddenly shook his head like a rattle-drum. He wanted to please his teacher now. If his teacher found out that he had casually given Naruto such a dangerous technique, he would really be dead, dead for sure.
"Then I won't tell you. I'll tell someone else about the shameless things the Anbu Minister did when he was drunk." Naruto looked at Kakashi shaking his head, then shook his head with a smile, "You don't even know what it's like to be laughed at. It's not a big deal, right? You're so thick-skinned anyway. "
Kakashi sighed and lowered his head, "Naruto, you're a Genin. Someone else."
Naruto also shrugged. He knew Kakashi was stupid, but he didn't expect a person to be this stupid. If it were him, he would definitely agree first. After all, he didn't say that he had to teach him immediately … Konoha's Anbu Minister was so stupid. Naruto Uzumaki felt that his father was really nepotism this time.
Kakashi saw that Naruto didn't move and sighed again. The child in front of him had inherited his father's powerful genes … He was distracted. But Kakashi, who had sobered up a little, didn't care. His hungover head was still throbbing, and he couldn't concentrate. In short, he saw the milk in his hand and understood Naruto's meaning — drink milk to sober up. So he imitated Naruto and gulped it down. Instantly, everything seemed to be better.
"Why aren't you talking again?" Naruto kicked Kakashi and forgot that he was wearing slippers. His shoes flew far away.
Kakashi looked at Naruto sitting on the sofa and looking at him. He sighed and kicked his shoes back to Naruto's feet.
Naruto put on his shoes and looked at Kakashi who was in a bad mood, "Kakashi, in fact, if you helped me put on my shoes like you did when I was young, I would tell you everything. Of course, I wouldn't tell anyone."
Kakashi was embarrassed, "How old do you think you are now, Naruto Uzumaki! You're 13 years old! 13 years old. "
"One more month."
"25 days."
There was an awkward silence.
…
Both of them didn't speak again.
Kakashi spoke first, "I'll go back to the office and see if there's anything I need to deal with immediately. I'll come back later."
"My dad already helped you solve the problem yesterday. Kakashi, what have you been thinking recently?"
Naruto disdained, "In order to take care of you, dad didn't sleep until morning. You didn't see how embarrassing you were. Last night, I went to pick up dad from the night shift after a party. When we entered the house, we thought a thief could enter Naruto's house! But the result? I saw you lying on the sofa! Don't ask me what you did! I really don't want to remember how a person with snot, tears, alcohol smell, and vomiting everywhere with a mask looked like. If it weren't for my dad's sharp eyes and quick hands, he would have driven away the Anbu and the guards who followed us back. Zizi … Kakashi, you wouldn't be as simple as just embarrassing yourself. "
Kakashi lowered his head. He shouldn't have listened to the instigation of those underage Anbu. What kind of ideas did they come up with? But Kakashi was relieved. Since the teacher drove away the guards on duty, the family's dirty linen hadn't been made public yet.
Naruto looked at Kakashi who was in a state of admitting his guilt, and felt unhappy, "You had a fever yesterday. Kabuto came to see you, but you recovered after a needle injection. Idiot, don't go near my dad if you have a cold, okay? He's much better recently, but who knows if your cold is viral. What if it's contagious, idiot. Also, Kabuto, you must wake up my dad to eat breakfast. Even if he's sleepy, he must eat and sleep! He can't miss a single meal now! You go and wake him up. Although he won't admit it, he really has a temper when he wakes up. I'm his only son, but he still scolds me! "
Kakashi nodded. He would go and wake him up. Being scolded was better than being ignored.
Naruto looked at Kakashi who was obedient. He was still very unhappy, but he continued, "En. Don't worry, my dad has been taking care of you. I didn't see your face. My dad said that you don't like people to see your face. He worked all day yesterday and even worked overtime to take care of you, Kakashi. "
Kakashi nodded. He didn't speak. He wanted to cry now. When he heard Naruto say that Sensei still remembered that he didn't like people to see his face … he remembered that a long time ago, Sensei also spoiled that useless Belt Soil Uchiha who was always late for all kinds of strange reasons. He obviously despised that coward Belt Soil who always caused trouble for Sensei. But after so many years, why did he cause trouble for Sensei every day like that damn Belt Soil?
Naruto looked at Kakashi who was about to cry. He felt strange. Was it necessary? They were just drunk. Kakashi might still be drunk. "Kakashi."
"Yes." Kakashi rubbed his eyes. "Say it, Naruto. I'll do anything except what Sensei doesn't let me do."
Naruto suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He found that Kakashi was very strange today. Was he a little mushy?
"Naruto?"
"Ah, I forgot to say happy birthday to you yesterday."
"Huh?"
"Isn't September 15 your birthday?"
"I've always celebrated the collective birthday of the Anbu."
Naruto widened his eyes. "Didn't you drink to drown your sorrows last night because we all forgot your birthday?"
Kakashi was at a loss.
"Then why?"
Kakashi scratched his head. He couldn't answer this question. Should he say that he deliberately got drunk? Only a fool would say that. Then what should he tell Naruto? Because September 15 was his mother's death anniversary. He didn't want to wake up in the morning to worship his parents and sing songs with friends and colleagues to celebrate his birth at night. Kakashi sighed. He looked at Naruto who was still pestering him and asking "why?" … He felt that this kid was really lucky. No matter what, Sensei was still alive.
"Naruto, don't …"
"I know."
"Kid, what do you know."
"I just know that I'll never make my father sad."
If you can't say it, then don't say it.
…
Konoha, September 16, 60
Today, Kakashi officially entered the age of 27. As usual, he was eating and drinking at Sensei's house. He felt that this was really happy.
Today, there were 25 days before Naruto's 13th birthday. He asked Kakashi for three unconditional wishes to be a certain someone's hush money for being drunk.
