Put it in a proper position,
Make one..
March 5, 61 year Konoha, late at night,
Bo Fung Watergate and his son walked home happily. Finally, he lay on his own side of the big bed in the bedroom, washed up, and went to sleep. He slept very comfortably. However..,
There were many people who didn't feel comfortable after hearing this news.
March 6, early morning
National capital of the Fire Nation,
The residence of the Minister of Finance,
In the dim light, a man and a woman were whispering.
"Is that so? Bo Fung Watergate didn't die again." The first to speak was a woman.
"He was fine to begin with. He ran away from the hospital in the afternoon,
He ate ramen with Nine Tails' Force Of Human Column in the evening,
He seemed to be in a very good mood. "Then it was the man,
He was the owner of the house,
The current Minister of Finance of the Fire Nation.
"Every time he stays in the hospital for exactly three days... no matter how I look at it, it seems intentional. What is he trying to do? Pretending to be sick and not wanting to go to work? Then why doesn't he die? "The woman's voice was very pleasant, but her words were filled with resentment.
"Heh,
He's a child lover. All he wants to do is to accompany his son. You have to know that a single man who hasn't found anyone else after his wife died for so many years has to have some other solution,
He's only 38 years old. "The 53-year-old Minister of Finance was very calm.
But the woman had already heard the viciousness, so she smiled. Her smile was very ambiguous,
"Sigh,
That's a good idea. It can be dug up — a normal man can of course not find a stepmother for his son,
But not a woman,
Tsk tsk, why? "
"There are so many female ninja in Konoha. With his skills, no one will refuse to climb into someone's bed in the middle of the night, right?" The Minister of Finance blinked,
"But in that case, there's really no need to be sneaky.
“
So he is indeed abnormal. "The woman was already gritting her teeth with a smile." But how is he abnormal? "
The Minister of Finance sighed,
“
Of course, it's the opposite of normal men, such as me. "
“
The woman seemed to be very interested and continued to ask questions.
But the man's face darkened.
"Hehe, you sure are careful with your words." The woman's voice grew louder and louder. "Yes, maybe there are a few ninjas on the roof eavesdropping on us right now, listening to us talk about their beloved Naruto -sama. If they have the ability, they can come down and kill me immediately. I'm not afraid of death. Besides, there are many people in the world who wish for that person to die young. Can you kill all of them? "
"There will always be a time when we can kill all of them. That's Naruto we're talking about, the leader of the ninjas, not the ambitious ministers in the imperial court, nor the idiotic monarch who drinks milk all his life in the palace. He's always the one who kills others." The finance minister's voice was still very flat. He didn't seem to be afraid that a ninja would suddenly come down and take his head.
"Heh, so what?" The woman snorted.
“
If you're not afraid, why should I be? "
"Why should I be afraid? Bo Fung Watergate couldn't bear to let me die. His economic plan couldn't be carried out by just a few ninjas who killed and set fires. He's going to do it himself? He can really slaughter the entire National capital by himself, but he can't deal with all those documents. So if I die, there will be chaos for a while. Chaos is not in his interest … But … "The finance minister paused." You're different, Mrs. Kazumi. "
At the same time.
The Monarch's Mansion, the Monarch's bedroom.
The young monarch was lying on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, listening to the rustling of the bamboo forest outside the window, shivering.
He had just received the news from Konoha. Bo Fung Watergate wasn't sick at all when he was hospitalized. He was forced to stay in the hospital, and there was no emergency treatment. It was just that he was angered by his son's prank and had a gastric problem. A few days ago, he was happy for nothing. Who was that? Was that Naruto of Konoha? The powerful Golden Flash, and the young one, 38 years old? Just look at the high-level ninjas who lived to seventy or eighty years old. How could Namikaze Namikaze die because of such a small matter?
So the young monarch could only sigh and look at the golden threads on his quilt. He used to like this kind of shiny decoration very much, but now, these delightful thin threads were densely packed like a spider's web. And he was like the prey in the web. The more he wanted to break free, the more he was torn. Of course, when he tore off his wings, he would naturally be able to break free from the web. But falling to the ground wouldn't be a good ending. In short, the young monarch once again understood in despair that his life might really be like this, and he couldn't change it anymore. But thinking about it carefully, his current life didn't seem to be as bad as he imagined. At least he could eat and wear warm clothes, right? He could also have a wife and a child. And the only thing he had to pay was being locked in this damn place, marrying a bride he didn't know, and giving birth to a son who might not be close to his father at all. Then? Perhaps one day, after drinking a glass of water, he would die … At that time, his Naruto would definitely host a grand funeral for him, a rag that had finally been used up.
That's not bad, at least he could have a good rest after death.
But — — why! The monarch bit the quilt and clenched his fists. He wasn't actually afraid of death. Death was death, what was there to be afraid of? But this feeling of waiting for death was really too scary …
And so, in the end, he still cried. Tears slid down and fell into the corner of his mouth. It was a bit bitter.
…
At the same time.
Konoha, Bo Feng's house, Naruto's bedroom.
The moonlight shone in. Naruto Uzumaki suddenly realized that he couldn't sleep. He opened his eyes wide and stared at the ceiling. On the ceiling, the old wall that was a few years older than him was a bit mottled. Every time after the rainy season, if it wasn't cleaned up immediately, Naruto would be hit by one or two falling pieces when he slept. But this was his home. Now, there was his father, Eero, and those vague shadows standing at the door and on the roof … Naruto Uzumaki had been training according to Jiraiya's training methods for almost a year. Finally, he confirmed with his own eyes that his father was at home and that the Black Ops were not at home. It was definitely a big joke.
But Naruto wouldn't lose sleep because of those unlucky Black Ops. He turned over and rubbed his pillow. He was just worried about his father. His father didn't complete all the physical examinations according to the original plan. Instead, he ran out of the hospital. Naruto felt that this was not good. But looking at his father who was happily eating ramen and shopping with him, he didn't want to spoil his mood.
At the same time, Naruto was also worried about tomorrow's team assembly. If worrying about his father was like worrying about whether the gas tank was ready before going out, then worrying about the team assembly was definitely like worrying about whether the gas leak would explode or not.
So serious.
Naruto hoped that Sakura, who had the right to decide the instructor, was no longer angry … and, would Sasuke directly burn him with a big fireball? He didn't regret making fun of Sakura. There was nothing wrong with being happy. But Sasuke that day … what should he do? Should he apologize, or should he just pretend that nothing happened? Of course, Naruto wanted to pretend that nothing happened. But he felt that Sasuke and Sakura would definitely not suddenly lose their memories. But if he apologized, Sakura would be easy to persuade. But Sasuke? Should he apologize more seriously or be more lively and cute? Because no matter how he apologized, with Sasuke's personality, he would think that the apology was to make fun of him again. It was really difficult to deal with.
“
What should I do? "Naruto muttered softly, turned over again, and couldn't fall asleep. A person only had two teammates in the ninja team, and he offended two at once. Now he could only hope that fortunately, he was the young master of Naruto's family. Sasuke and Sakura would probably give his father some face, and they wouldn't refuse to listen to his explanation and apology.
So, Jiraiya sensei was right — rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows, and a man's ambition was far away.
Well, Naruto, who had already made up his mind, heard that his father next door had fallen asleep. He finally turned over and climbed out of bed, went into the bathroom, and grinned at the mirror. Since he decided to apologize, he had to practice it. He saw that he cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
"Sakura, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I'll do whatever you want. Anyway, I'm a Force Of Human Column, and you can't kill me as a medic ninja. But if you really beat me half to death, please remember to treat me. Also, if you can avoid hitting my face, please don't hit my face."
"Sasuke, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pranked you, but you saw my whole body, so you didn't lose anything. Really, don't be in a hurry to hit me, really, when you grow up, you'll know how much you don't lose."
…
But no matter how unwilling Naruto was, the sky would still be bright.
The author wishes Naruto good luck.
Morning, 8: 30 AM
The spring sun was bright and beautiful, and after a few rains, everywhere was green, making people feel relaxed and happy. The humidity was just right, and the temperature was neither too hot nor too cold. In short, it was a good day to sleep. Uchiha Itachi looked down from the large floor-to-ceiling window in Naruto's office and yawned unconsciously. His yawn was accidentally heard by Bo Fung Watergate, who was about to fall asleep. So, Naruto, who was supporting his head and spinning his pen, and whose mind was full of his son, glanced at his subordinate who was standing upright beside him and yawned too.
"012110, I heard that you're finally going on a blind date?" Naruto, who didn't want to work, started his little fun in the office again.
"Hmm?" His little fun, who was distracted, still reacted slowly.
"It's a blind date, 18 years old, adult, do you have a target type for girls?"
"I don't know, sir. I'll listen to the arrangements of my family and the organization. "Itachi finally understood what Naruto was asking. And he was indeed going on a blind date. As the heir of Uchiha, he needed a wife, and he must have at least one child in the future. He understood, but when he heard the word "blind date", his heart felt strange. A wife?
Watergate looked at Itachi's confused eyes and laughed in his heart. "Well, if you're not satisfied with the arrangements of your family, just tell your parents that I don't agree. Of course, I'll keep an eye out for you, but you have to be careful. After all, it's important to have a qualified wife and heir to inherit the family business in the future. "
"Yes, sir." Itachi nodded. This was his responsibility, something he needed to do. Even if he didn't like his current job, he still had to do it.
Watergate looked at Itachi, who was pulling a long face, and continued to smile. The child was really becoming more and more like his father. The same face, the same facial paralysis. Hopefully, he wouldn't be like Fugaku, who only found out that his father was not popular when he was so old.
"Okay, don't be so serious."
"Yes, sir."
"I said don't be so serious." Watergate cleared his throat, still feeling uncomfortable.
"Yes, sir. Do you want some water? "Uchiha Itachi, who was used to his work, asked habitually.
"Coffee, pure, thank you." Naruto put down the pen, stretched his fingers, and answered indifferently.
"Your water, sir." Itachi acted as if he didn't hear Naruto's words. He took a cup and poured water.
Bo Fung Watergate sighed. He looked at the crystal clear glass and the crystal-like liquid flowing inside.
He picked it up and put it down. "012110, what do you think of this glass of water?"
"Sir, the temperature of the water has been controlled to the most suitable place. You can drink it directly." Itachi puffed out his chest and looked forward.
"Don't you think this glass of water is too beautiful?" Watergate continued to ask.
Itachi rolled his eyes in his heart and nodded at the same time.
"Yes, it's a really clean glass of water. It's so clean that I can't bear to drink it." Watergate asked and answered his own question.
Itachi frowned. He still couldn't keep up with Naruto's thinking. What was his boss trying to do?
Watergate looked at Itachi, who was full of question marks, and frowned. Itachi had been working for more than a year, but he still didn't understand anything. "012110."
"Yes, sir."
"The water is too clear."
"Yes, sir." Itachi noticed Naruto's dissatisfied gaze, and his brain cells instantly exploded like popping candy in his mouth. Associations, imagination, logic, reasoning, what did he want him to do?! Dad, mom, Sasuke, Uchiha ancestors, he wanted to change jobs! Sincerely!
"…" Watergate looked at Itachi, whose forehead was beginning to smoke, and sighed in his heart. Itachi was hopeless. "Kakashi, don't hide when you're here."
Kakashi also sighed and patted Itachi's shoulder from behind. "You can leave first."
Itachi was startled. When he turned around and saw Kakashi, he immediately opened the door and left.
He'd better stand guard far away. God knows what the master and disciple were going to talk about … and, when would this dull and frightening internal work life come to an end?
"What happened now?" Watergate lowered his head and continued to work.
Kakashi looked at his indifferent teacher and felt a little wronged. Ever since Naruto's matter was exposed, his teacher had never been nice to him in private occasions. But there was nothing he could do. A teacher for a day was a father for life. But since he had already made up his mind to raise his teacher as his father, he couldn't let him do everything. Otherwise, it would be more troublesome in the future.
"Speak!" Watergate was impatient.
Kakashi sighed. He took out a candy from his pocket, peeled it, and threw it in. "Drink it. Itachi wouldn't dare to give you coffee. Next time, ask for black tea, juice, milk, and so on. Naturally, I won't give you plain water.
"Kakashi, I'm not that bored!" Watergate drank some water and shook the cup. The candy inside swayed. "I hate candy apples."
"Yes, next time change to milk candy." Kakashi felt powerless. He calculated that next time, he must let Naruto see his father's true colors.
"What's the matter? Speak. Is the Lord making a fuss about not getting married again?"
"No, Naruto and the other three chose Yamato. From now on, Team 7 will be called Yamato Team."
"Is there anything else?" Watergate actually found Naruto in the middle of the night yesterday, arguing about friendship in the bathroom, but it wasn't his place to interfere.
"No." Kakashi shook his head.
"Really?"
"Yes."
Watergate sighed. "Then are you that bored to talk nonsense? Isn't it just that one person? Do I need you to tell me the name? Naruto will naturally tell me at dinner tonight."
Kakashi sighed. "You said that everything about Naruto can't be hidden."
"Are you sure this sentence means everything, no matter how big or small!" Watergate frowned. "My Minister of the Dark Department, did you bring your brain with you today?!"
Kakashi felt his teeth itching. "My Naruto -sama! Haven't you reflected that your words are too difficult to understand?! "
Watergate heard Kakashi talk back and became angry again. "My words are difficult to understand! How are my words difficult to understand? My Naruto has never responded to such a strange question. "
"That's because you've never shown your abnormal side in front of Naruto." Kakashi roared in his heart, but when the words reached his mouth, they naturally became words. "Go home at night, get a cup, and tell him that the water is too clean … See how he reacts."
"Naruto won't give me plain water when I ask for coffee." Watergate ground his teeth. "Kakashi, are you here to quarrel today?!"
"I'm just telling a fact and sympathizing with poor Uchiha Itachi." Kakashi saw that his teacher had an impulse to quarrel with him and instantly softened. "Sensei, I beg you, not only Itachi, but also the new members of the Hokage Guard. Please be more direct in the future. You always make it very troublesome."
"Am I?"
"Yes." Kakashi was sure. He didn't want to make his teacher unhappy because of this, but since he had already said it, he might as well solve it. "If you're not used to these new members, call back the old members and let Itachi go back to his field work. Internal work isn't suitable for him … I stood behind him for a long time just now, but he didn't notice me. If I were an assassin, you'd doze off at some point. This has nothing to do with strength, it's a matter of habit. He doesn't have the awareness of being a bodyguard. "
Watergate looked at Kakashi, who was a little agitated, and smiled bitterly. "Kakashi, don't tell me you still don't understand what Naruto's guard is. I clearly know that your personality isn't suitable to be the head of the Black Ops Department, and it's not like there's no one more suitable, but why did you become the head of the Black Ops Department? Similarly, how could I not know that Itachi isn't suitable? But he's my guard captain, do you understand? "
"I …" Kakashi found himself speechless.
Watergate pointed at Kakashi. "A bunch of simple-minded people. I'm being straightforward enough, but I'm just beating around the bush. If they can't even understand 'water is too clean', how can they understand things like – the Prime Minister's family is preparing to build a house, to make it the tallest building in the National Capital, but there's a technical problem. Can Konoha solve it? – These kinds of words. I don't expect you to give a perfect answer, but if you can't even understand these words after being by my side for several years, then I won't force you to do anything. It's up to you. "
…
"Drink water, don't worry." Kakashi was dizzy. He paused, finally noticing the deep anxiety in his teacher's eyes. "It's just a bunch of simple-minded people, there's no need to worry."
Watergate continued to sigh. He rubbed his forehead. "It's not worth it. Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go. Even if the Black Ops don't send out official documents, they still have to deal with them in a timely manner. If you can't produce them when I need them, then I won't force you to do anything. "
"Sensei." Kakashi frowned. He couldn't understand Naruto's words at all.
"Ah …" Watergate took a deep breath. He looked at Kakashi's only exposed eye, and his heart suddenly felt sour.
"Kakashi, why are you always alternating between being smart and being dumb? If only you could stay smart, then I could just retire, bask in the sun, and take care of your children. "
"Sensei, I don't have any plans to get married."
"My focus is on the first half of the sentence."
"You're only 38 years old. Although Naruto's work is hard, isn't it too early to consider retirement?"
"But as Naruto of Four Generations, with the establishment of the new economic system, my historical mission has been completed."
"What are you talking about, Sensei?"
"Nothing, it's easy to get sleepy in spring. Do you have anything else? If not, you can go."
"Okay." Although Kakashi really didn't have anything to do, he still wasn't satisfied. It was as if Sensei didn't want to see him.
Watergate saw that Kakashi wanted to say something but stopped, so he decisively shouted, "Fly, see the guest out."
Gen, who was wearing a Black Ops uniform, opened the door for Kakashi without any nonsense and gestured for him to leave.
Kakashi almost broke his teeth from gritting them, but he still left. There were so many guests for the king's wedding, and there were people from all over the world. Who knew if there would be a fierce fight when people from different factions met? It was better for him to just go and arrange his work.
To arrange the position, the chess player said to the chess piece.
…
Spring, year 61, Konoha. It wasn't very warm.
"Lord, I understand. The one who builds the prime minister's house." The Root Shadow Guard called Fly was a little excited.
"What's the use of you understanding? You're not Kakashi. Can you stand in front of the politicians of all countries and speak on my behalf?" Naruto rolled his eyes at the person behind him.
"I can, Lord. My verbal skills are the best in the Root."
