Time flew by.
But a lazy woman stopped after 15 shuttles.
Konoha 60, early October
An ordinary day.
Naruto Building, Naruto's office.
Bo Fung Watergate stopped reading the documents. He basked in the sun and looked at a few small clouds floating in the blue sky. He couldn't help but think of beautiful things.
For example, his Naruto and Kina. He didn't know how his Kina was doing now.
Was she waiting for him anxiously. But he still felt that he should wait a little longer before he could find her.
Because Naruto would definitely have a large group of children in the future. He also wanted to see if he could give birth to a red-haired beauty that could skip generations. When he received his pension, the boys would be left to their young parents.
His granddaughters would stay by his side to accompany him in his old age.
He wanted to give them the most beautiful dresses.
The most adorable toys.
He would give them whatever they wanted. Then he would teach them the most powerful ninjutsu. Whoever dared to bully them would be beaten back one by one. He also had to remember everything about everyone bit by bit.
Remember clearly. If there were too few stories, how could he satisfy the unparalleled curiosity of Grandma Kina.
— —
He was in a good mood when he thought about good things.
Bo Fung Watergate smiled.
Then he accepted his fate and continued to read the boring documents. But he didn't stop his wild thoughts in time. Anyway, what kind of laws merchants had to abide by and what treasures were under the Land of the Wind Desert had nothing to do with him. And Shikaku's method wasn't easy to use at all. What did he mean by splitting himself into two? Just like Shadow Clone.
One was happy and one was unhappy. It meant that he was the whole one.
The Shadow Clone was also the whole one! Hahaha.
Watergate thought about it and suddenly stood up and opened the window.
He stuck his head out. He really wanted to shout that Shikaku Nara was crazy! That guy was definitely schizophrenic!
But he didn't shout because the door of Naruto's office was pushed open.
"Four Generations! I have something to tell you. Come out. "Sandaime, who never had the habit of knocking on the door of his former office, suppressed his anger.
However, Naruto of Four Generations glanced at him, sat down calmly, and continued to read the documents.
"I'm talking to you! Bo Fung Watergate! "Sandaime slammed his hand on his desk.
Bo Fung Watergate didn't even raise his head this time, but the skilled worker Uchiha Itachi had already reacted. He covered his ears and ran as fast as he could. He waved his hand and dismissed all the people on duty within 100 meters of the office. Knowing too much would really kill you.
In the office
Seeing that Itachi had cleared the room, Sandaime Naruto slammed the table again, but this time there was no sound because he didn't hit it. The corner of the old man's mouth twitched as he looked at the cold steel caltrops under his hand. He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. "Bo Fung Watergate!"
Watergate raised his head and tried to flash his 18 teeth like Guy, but unfortunately, all Sandaime saw was a golden hedgehog with its eyes closed and teeth bared.
"Watergate …" Sandaime took a few breaths and calmed down. "Little Watergate, we need to talk, really."
Bo Fung Watergate curled his lips. "What do you want? Just say it."
It was a very polite and standard answer, but Sandaime looked at Watergate even more angrily. "Open your eyes and look at me!"
"I don't want to see you. Not at all." Watergate shook his head and refused to open his eyes. He didn't want to think about unpleasant things.
But Sarutobi only felt his blood pressure rising as he looked at the person in front of him. "I don't want to see you either! Open your eyes right now! Business! "
"I won't open my eyes." Watergate shook his head. "My mind is full of Kina when I see you. She smiles and says to me, 'Why haven't you come to me yet?' Do you know how lonely she is now? She's always been afraid of loneliness, even more than I am. "
"What does that have to do with me? It has nothing to do with me! Bo Fung Watergate! Go home and go crazy. " Sandaime Naruto Sarutobi almost punched him, but the old man still knew what he was here for. He paused and restrained himself. "What's going on with the princess of the Land of the Wind that the King wants to marry?"
But Watergate ignored him. He closed his eyes and tilted his head, continuing to smile. "What do you mean it has nothing to do with you? If it weren't for you, Kina wouldn't be so lonely now."
Sarutobi looked at the smiling person in front of him, and his back was covered in cold sweat. It seemed that today wasn't a good time to talk about things, but he was already here. If he left like this, where would he put his old face? "Naruto of the Four Generations, Sarutobi of the Council of Elders wants to ask you about the princess of the Land of the Wind! Why is it the youngest princess, the twelfth princess, and not the ninth princess that was agreed upon at the beginning? "
Watergate still had his eyes closed, but he still remembered what he was here for. "Political marriage. Didn't the Council of Elders urge me to hurry up? It just so happened that the Land of the Wind also wanted to strengthen the alliance through marriage, so they got married. "
"Don't play dumb. I'm talking about the princess!"
"Isn't the princess beautiful? I think she's very cute. "
"Yes, she's very beautiful. But don't you think that she's a little too young for a political marriage?"
"She's not young anymore. She's already thirteen."
"She's still half a year away from thirteen … You want a little girl who's not even as old as your son to marry a 22-year-old man? “
"What's wrong?"
"Bo Fung Watergate! What are you trying to do? What's wrong! The king is marrying a legal wife! A legal wife! A twelve-year-old child has to leave her hometown! Let's not talk about marrying a 22-year-old man! How long do you want a 22-year-old man to wait before he can consummate with this little girl!? Only then can he have a qualified successor! "
"Ah. This problem, it's only an engagement now? Won't she be fourteen next year? Since you don't agree, it's fine to change the bride. Anyway, the fat man of the Land of the Wind has many daughters. "Watergate disagreed.
"Bo Fung Watergate! The betrothal gifts have been given! Change the bride! Even if the king of the Land of the Wind has no objection, you have to consider the feelings of the people of the Land of the Wind! Their most beloved princess has been picked and then broken off the engagement to change the bride! Is your brain full of iron dysentery! "Sarutobi panted.
"That's it. I thought you didn't know that it can't be changed. Since it can't be changed, why ask? Isn't it just a few years later to have children? "
"Bo Fung Watergate." Sarutobi clenched his fist and trembled all over.
"You don't have to keep reminding me. I know what my name is!" Watergate yawned. He felt that he should follow Dou's advice and maintain the good habit of taking a nap at noon. Otherwise, he would feel sleepy in the afternoon.
The former Naruto looked at his successor in front of him and only felt a buzzing sound in his ears. His whole head was about to explode. He tried to squint his eyes, trying to see Bo Fung Watergate's expression clearly to judge whether this person was really crazy or pretending to be stupid. But the light came through the French window, and the child's face was facing away from the light, so he couldn't see anything. The former Naruto suddenly didn't want to endure at all. A question that had been in his mind for many years blurted out.
"Do you want to usurp the throne?"
…
"Huh?"
"Little Watergate, you know that it's almost impossible for me to stop you from doing anything now. So, there are some words that I want to hear from you."
"Oh."
Sarutobi gritted his teeth and continued to ask, "Do you want to usurp the throne?"
"No."
Sarutobi looked at the younger generation in front of him who was laughing with his eyes closed and asked again, "Do you want to be the king yourself?"
"Hahaha," Watergate continued to laugh, "No, no … Haha, Naruto has suffered enough. King? What's that for? "
"Two years ago, when the king was preparing to get engaged to the prime minister's daughter, you stopped it. You didn't want the only person with the right to inherit the Fire Kingdom to have an heir, right?"
"Two years ago, we were negotiating with the Land of the Wind. You see, now the king is still unmarried and wants to marry the princess of the Land of the Wind. How can a prime minister's daughter be worthy of the king of the most powerful Fire Kingdom on the continent? Besides, the king himself didn't have any objections at that time. "
Did the king dare to have any objections? Sarutobi sighed in his heart. He was already very disappointed with the cowardly king. Yes, the king himself didn't say anything, so why was he so conflicted? He might as well take this opportunity to ask all the questions. After all, today he even asked the thing that he shouldn't ask the most, so there was nothing that he couldn't ask. "When will you start training Naruto?"
…
"You don't have to worry about how to educate my own son. If the king has any objections, he can come to me himself. I will definitely obey his orders. "Bo Fung Watergate coldly replied.
"Watergate."
"012110, see the guest out."
Itachi immediately appeared and helped Sandaime open the office door. Then he watched Sandaime angrily leave, and suddenly he was covered in cold sweat. He appeared too quickly just now, and he could hear the king's call at the first moment. Then …
Watergate looked at the nervous Itachi, stood up and patted him on the shoulder. "You seemed to have heard something very important just now."
Itachi didn't say anything and just smiled.
Watergate sighed. "You don't seem to be afraid that I will kill you."
"I'm not afraid, sir." Itachi continued to smile. "I believe in you."
"More than you believe in Uchiha?" Watergate continued to sigh.
"I will always be loyal to you!" Itachi said firmly.
"Okay, don't tell your parents everything. I'll be grateful."
"Sir …"
"Forget it, it's not a big deal. Even if you don't tell them, your parents will still find out through other channels. Pour me a glass of water and go do your own thing."
"Yes, sir." Itachi lowered his head, poured the water, and silently retreated. He wanted to tell his lord that he would never talk nonsense, but … he felt that he was really a failure. As the captain of Naruto's guards, even if he was on duty during the day, he had access to all kinds of confidential documents. Even so, he was still not trusted by Naruto. Itachi regretted it very much. If he didn't listen to his family at the beginning, and always answered whatever his family asked, and unconditionally cooperated with his father's various arrangements … maybe … he could have found a friend in Naruto's guards even if he didn't have good eyesight and caused trouble everywhere. He was probably the only one who didn't have a friend to invite him to the carnival and could only eat the wedding candies brought home by his younger brother.
Seeing Itachi leave with a little disappointment, Watergate continued to sigh, and his mood continued to be bad. Especially when he wanted to pick up the cup and drink water, he was told to "wait."
"Why is it you again?" Watergate looked at the Dark Unit in front of him who was checking his cup.
"Ah, sir. I know that you prefer the little fly who was on duty a while ago. Ah, why is he called little fly? He's my younger brother. Of course, he's not blood-related … The child is still underage. It's not good to work too hard. And he can't always be on the day shift. He has to change night shifts with me. I can't always be on the night shift. Gen has to take a vacation too. "
Naruto didn't know what to say anymore, "I'm thirsty. Don't talk nonsense."
"Ah, sir. My brother is good, right? He wants to work hard during the vacation. Didn't you say that Gen will be like an ordinary ninja in Konoha in the future? That means he can get a pension after 20 years. I don't care, but he's still young. Even after 20 years of service, he's still young. So now he's making a fake profile of himself as a wandering painter whenever he has the chance, saying that he'll be a painter after 20 years. "
…
"I'm thirsty."
"Sir, don't worry. It's done. The water is fine."
"Even if it's poisoned, it won't be so simple."
Watergate looked at the cup and the water inside that had been tampered with by various instruments. Suddenly, he wasn't thirsty at all, "In fact, even if the poison is successful, isn't it a good opportunity to try a new oral antidote? The one who applied it on the outside was in so much pain that he vomited blood. "
"Sir, believe me. If that really happens, you'll vomit blood because of the pain, and I … I'll definitely be secretly executed by my boss, and I'll die without a complete corpse. I still want to see my younger brother's art exhibition in 20 years."
…
"It's autumn. I thought all the flies were dead." Naruto covered his forehead.
"Sir, drink some water."
Watergate squinted at the fly in front of him, full of doubts.
"Sir, I'm definitely Gen … No name, no feelings … no past … no future."
Watergate listened to the last word at the end of the last sentence. The word "come" was curved and raised, and he felt powerless, "Your mission … is to be a lively chatterbox?"
"No, my mission is to make you feel better."
…
Bo Fung Watergate didn't know if his mood was better, but Sarutobi knew that he was definitely not in a good mood.
At this time, he had already reached home. He shut himself in the bedroom, facing the wall, and smoked.
"Sir." Sarutobi's old butler opened the window to let the lingering smoke out, "The hospital has already told you not to smoke too much. You should pay more attention when you're old."
"It doesn't matter. I don't plan to live for long anyway!" Sarutobi's heart was burning more and more fiercely.
The old butler sighed, silently closed the window, drew the curtains, and went out. He even closed the door from outside.
Sarutobi's back was facing him. He heard the sound of various doors closing behind him. After a long time, he silently put down the pipe. He took out the intercom invented by Bo Fung Watergate. In fact, he was more used to the old talkback channel, but the old talkback channel would always switch channels, unlike this version of the Flying Thunder God Communication, where one number was the same as the other, unless someone deliberately monitored it … But who would waste manpower and material resources to trouble an old man like him? Besides, he couldn't talk to anyone.
"Pyloritis, I'll ask Watergate if he's back."
"What's the result?"
"Tell the Monarch that he can either fall out with the Land of the Wind and fight a war, or wait for the princess to grow up."
"Will the Monarch be satisfied?"
"Oh, that kid isn't his father and siblings who died … He doesn't even have the courage to talk to Watergate face to face, let alone fight a war. Don't worry. "
"Then, Watergate …"
"I don't care, I can't!"
"Okay. I'll go and reply to the Monarch. "
Sarutobi heard the sound of Mito Pyloritis hanging up, but he still felt uncomfortable, as if there was a block of lead in his heart. He stood up and began to walk around the room. After a few rounds, he picked up his pipe and began to smoke. The fine tobacco burned with a thin layer of white smoke, but the old man's heart still felt heavy, as if it was pressed under the Rock of Naruto, and he couldn't breathe.
He quickly sat down with the support of the wall, continued to smoke, and continued to feel dizzy, until he couldn't help but continue to dial the intercom number.
"Xiaochun."
"What's wrong?" Xiaochun asked curiously.
"Why do you think Watergate controls the government?"
"National capital people like to cause trouble." Xiaochun sighed. "What's wrong with you? Didn't you say that you don't care about anything? "
"Ah. I just can't remember why we chose Bo Fung Watergate to be the Four Generations. "
"There's no one more suitable than him." Xiaochun smiled. "Don't worry about it. Didn't I say that we're no longer in the era of a thousand people in a village?"
"But Bo Fung Watergate …"
"…"
"Xiaochun?"
"Sarutobi … Back then, because Danzō schemed against Orochimaru, and Tsunade ran away, you couldn't bear to let Jiraiya take the blame for Konoha's financial collapse, and Watergate fell in love with the Force Of Human Column. He's still young, and there are many things he doesn't understand. He's easy to control, so you made him Naruto."
"What do you mean?" Sarutobi felt even more dizzy.
"Sarutobi — don't treat people like fools! If you have time to doubt this and that, why don't you think about Sarutobi Asuma's marriage? He's in love! The whole of Konoha knows about it, but you, his father, don't know! "
…
"I know." Sarutobi felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. "I know he's chasing after Sunset Glow."
"…" Xiaochun sighed. "So, it's more important for you to talk to me about who's who."
"Didn't we just have a wedding?"
"But there are still many single young men in Konoha. They're all busy with their own work, and there are all kinds of confidentiality regulations that forbid them from showing their faces … But ninjas still need to live their days on vacation. They need to eat, sleep, and find someone to warm their bed. If we don't talk to them, who knows who's who?"
…
Sarutobi was silent for a moment. "Where are you? Wait for me. "
"Home." Xiaochun smiled. "Also, don't talk to Watergate for a while. You can forget about him, but you can't. It's almost Kina's death anniversary."
What if I keep thinking about her?
…
Early October, 60 Konoha
An ordinary day.
There were many things that couldn't be forgotten, and many things that couldn't be remembered.
But most of the people who were unhappy were the adults. Of course, children also had their troubles, but after five minutes of frustration, they still had 23 hours and 55 minutes left. They were happy as usual, but these were all children who were healthy and had harmonious families.
For example, Naruto Uzumaki was still very happy, even though the Jiraiya, who wrote novels and was more active than a ninja, was always following them when they were on missions. Even though their team was becoming less and less like the elite team that everyone thought they were when they were first assigned to different classes.
