The sky was blue.
The water was blue, and the sparrow followed the worm. It was the end of March and the beginning of April. The spring breeze was blowing, and the sun was shining.
8: 30 in the morning.
Bo Fung Watergate dragged Naruto, who was a little confused.
They followed the river.
They quickly jumped and shuttled through the tall forest. Soon, they crossed the tall wall of Konoha and continued to follow the river. As they ran, the river suddenly disappeared.
The father and son jumped down with a whoosh.
Their heads fell.
"Splash."
This was the sound of falling into the water.
It was mixed with the loud sound of the waterfall.
In fact, it was not much different from the sound of a big carp jumping out of the water and falling back. However, the fish could continue to sink after falling back, and the person fell.
He had to float back up. Thus, it didn't take long for two golden heads to pop out. One of them had his hair as straight as usual and was quite energetic. He shook his head like a male lion shaking his fur.
There was not a drop of water. And the other one, did you know the feeling of throwing a little chick into a pot? It was like that.
The fur was sticking to his head and face.
It was wet and dripping with water.
There were also strange green aquatic plants sticking to his nose and head.
Bo Fung Watergate laughed loudly.
He gently helped Naruto pick the aquatic plants and dragged the angry little lion to the shore. The sun shone on the water and covered his face. It was bright and bright, just like his mood now.
And the one he was dragging was in a bad mood — he was pranked by his father, he was pranked! Why didn't he tell him in advance when he jumped down! Damn it, he didn't even have time to release his chakra! Otherwise, even if he couldn't not get a leaf on his body, he wouldn't have become a drowned rat! Anyway, Naruto Uzumaki, who had confirmed this idea, pouted and frowned. He held his father's big hand tightly and let him hold him. He was too lazy to even paddle in the water — what was his father doing? Why did he run? Why did he jump down? Why were the two of them here now? Why, why, why, why!
Naruto Uzumaki felt that his brain was about to become paste. He could no longer use normal words to describe his father's behavior in the past two days. Anyway, ever since his father found the torn rags and the Mr. Washing Machine with a big hole in it, and forbade him to mention those things, he started to become more and more abnormal. Could it be that Kakashi was right? Those things had a huge impact on his father? But even if he was affected, he shouldn't have behaved like this under normal circumstances. Yesterday, everyone could still understand. They were in a bad mood when they found out that something important was broken. In addition, they couldn't eat or sleep well for the past few days at the National Capital. They were angry and had to work overtime when they came back. They were exhausted and didn't want to get out of bed. But today …
Wasn't their destination half an hour ago the Naruto Building? Didn't his father have to go to work and bring him to the rendezvous point to do the mission? But why would they run to the edge of the waterfall after half an hour and jump down without saying a word? Of course, he was really happy to be out of Konoha and with his father. But other than being happy, why did he feel so strange? His heart was in a mess, just like the field he had just passed. Wild flowers were blooming unscrupulously. Red, blue, pink, everything was there. It was too unreal. The famous workaholic Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato was actually skipping work. This was skipping work! And he even brought his son along! He ran away just like that!
"What's wrong, Naruto? Isn't it fun? Weren't you very happy just now, asking your father to go faster? You said you liked the feeling of flying the most. Why is your face so sour now? " The former "Mermaid" Bo Fung Watergate, who had already gotten himself and his son ashore, poked his son's chubby face and couldn't help but smile.
"I didn't say I wasn't happy. I'm happy to be with my father wherever we go." Naruto said this, but he still lowered his head and pouted. … Well, he seized the time to wring his clothes dry. Yes, he was happy to be with his father, but he really didn't like being wet!
"Hey, my little Naruto is getting sweeter and sweeter." Watergate looked at Naruto's awkward appearance and felt inexplicably happier. "Look at you, you're soaked. I've said it hundreds of times. As long as you go out, you have to be prepared to encounter strange things at any time. Didn't your teacher Yamato tell you to always be prepared with Chakra? "
"He did." Naruto looked up at his father who was dry all over, then lowered his head and continued to wring his pants. So what if he said it? Who would have thought that Golden Flash would take his son to skip work and jump into the waterfall on a whim!
"You can't blame the teacher if he said it." Watergate saw Naruto wring his pants vigorously and squatted down to help. "You see, you think you're okay, but in the end, you still haven't reacted. So, please continue to work hard. If you don't have any sense of crisis, it's not that fun outside. It's very dangerous. "
"…" Naruto didn't answer. He pretended not to hear it. Ever since he heard Kakashi's words and started hinting to his father that he wanted to go out into the field, his father had been thinking of ways to hint to him that Naruto Uzumaki Genin was not strong enough to go out into the field. If he answered, this conclusion would be set in stone!
"Why aren't you saying anything? You know yourself …"
"Dad, fortunately, you didn't get yourself wet. Otherwise, what if you catch a cold in the wind? Once you catch a cold, you have a bad appetite. If you have a bad appetite, you won't eat well. If you don't eat well, you will have low blood sugar and low blood pressure. Won't that increase the probability of Alzheimer's disease? "Naruto immediately interrupted his father. No matter what his father wanted to do today, he couldn't let his father come to a conclusion and increase the weight of his opposition to him going out into the field. Because of him, Sasuke and Sakura couldn't go out. Although Naruto's words were orders and no one could oppose them, he still couldn't raise his head in front of his teammates.
However, Naruto's plan failed. Mr. Watergate was already able to completely ignore the words "Alzheimer's disease." "Naruto, Dad is talking to you about your …"
Naruto saw that Watergate still hadn't given up, so his face became serious. "I'm talking seriously. Dad, please listen to me seriously. Although I don't mind taking care of you in the future, Dad, are you really willing to drool and not be able to find your way home? "
"Naruto, don't interrupt. Dad is talking to you about something serious. You …"
"Are you sure it's okay for you not to go to work today? Didn't I already inform you yesterday that you have an important meeting today? You didn't inform the office in the morning that you will continue to take leave today, right? "Naruto's eyes turned and continued to interrupt.
Sure enough, Watergate Daddy's attention was instantly diverted when he heard the words "work, meeting".
"Ah, anyway, we're already out. Let's hurry up and set up the fishing equipment. It's not easy for the fish to bite in this season. We'll be hungry before noon. "
"Fishing?" Naruto's attention was instantly diverted when he heard these two words. What does his father want to do?
Watergate laughed, reached out and searched Naruto's body, and magically took out the things one by one. Two long fishing rods, two buckets for fish, two folding recliners, one big and one small for fishing, and two straw hats for shade.
Naruto didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw these things. So this had been prepared long ago? So, today was supposed to be a fishing trip? So Dad really prepared a surprise for him?
"What's wrong, Naruto? Why are you not happy at all?" Watergate saw that his son didn't seem to react as he expected, and his mood suddenly dropped.
"No, Dad, I'm just so happy that I don't know what to say." Naruto saw the corners of his father's mouth drooping in an instant. He didn't care whether his body was dry or not, and put his arms around Watergate's neck to show that he was very happy. "Dad, wow! You're amazing! You can take out anything. "
"Don't be perfunctory with me, Naruto." Watergate hugged his dancing son and put him on the ground. "Dad thought you liked fishing. I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to what you liked to do. Dad will pay attention next time. But anyway, it's still early. If you think fishing is boring, we can play something else. "
"I like fishing, I like it, really!" Naruto heard Watergate's disappointment and quickly tried to remedy it. "Dad, be confident. I like to be with Dad. Even if it's playing chess. "
"Even if it's playing chess — I knew it was a serious mistake to teach you how to play chess last year. It's not easy to have a few days of rest, but I can't let you have fun." Watergate was still disappointed. He was so stupid. He was so excited at that time and didn't see that his son was unhappy playing chess.
Naruto quickly hugged Watergate again. Dad was so strange today. One moment he was inexplicably happy, and the next moment he felt sorry for himself. "Dad, I'm happy as long as I'm with you. The important question is, it's rare for you to have a rest — are you happy or not?"
"No, no, it doesn't matter whether I'm happy or not. The important thing is that Dad is happy when he sees Naruto happy. If Naruto can't live happily, Dad's life has no meaning. "
Naruto's heart tightened again when he heard this.
"Dad, don't say such things. Come and make your son happy. Let's go fishing. Do you have bait?"
Watergate didn't laugh. "If Naruto is unhappy, Dad can't laugh."
"You can see that I'm unhappy." Naruto was going crazy in his heart, but he quickly put on a big smile. "I just think it's stupid to go fishing without bait."
Watergate Daddy finally forced a smile. Although Naruto's smile was bright, he still felt that it was perfunctory.
Naruto looked at his father's forced smile and felt even more frantic — he was so worried now. How could he be happy? Although for as long as he could remember, he had fantasized that his father would put aside his work to accompany him. But when his father really did it, why did it feel so awkward?! Regardless of whether his father was normal or not, just the thought that there were at least hundreds of people in Konoha waiting for Naruto to attend a meeting made him feel that he had done a terrible thing. "Okay, Dad, I'll be honest … I'm really happy, but you don't have to give up your work for me, I …"
"Work is more important than you." Watergate Daddy confirmed that Naruto was happy to go fishing and immediately laughed. "Silly Dad, I really forgot to bring bait. Let's go catch earthworms. There are big fish in this pool. We need very fat earthworms to tempt their appetite."
"But, Dad." Naruto looked at Watergate who was eager to try. He could only go along with him. He clenched his fist and waved it in the air. "Forget it. Since we're already out, let's go find big earthworms and catch big fish to eat them all."
"That's right." Watergate hugged Naruto and spun around. He pulled his son and squatted under the roots to dig for earthworms. After a while, the father and son, who had forgotten to use any tools, came back with their hands full of mud. Then they washed their hands together, put on the bait, and set the rod. After laughing for a while, they lay down comfortably and chatted softly, waiting for the moment when the fish took the bait.
But unfortunately, the fisherman and his son's harvest was not good.
"Oh, son. Remember, after the fish takes the bait, don't be in a hurry to pull the fishing line. First, pull gently. Every time you pull, you have to loosen it. Then continue to pull, slowly increasing your strength and speed. In this way, the fish won't struggle too much. Otherwise, the fisherman will be very tired and the fishing rod will be broken. " Watergate held the straw hat and fanned Naruto. His son had just failed to fight with a big fish, and now he was a little out of breath.
"I know, I know." Naruto now completely did not think about anything else, whether it was normal or not, whether it was work or not — the most important thing was to concentrate on fishing. He picked up the earthworms and hung the bait, gnashing his teeth. It was bad enough that he was dragged into the water by his father, but a stupid fish also wanted to drag him into the water. It was so annoying. If his father had not forbidden him to use a branch as a harpoon, the dead fish would have been in his stomach!
"Yes, our Naruto knows everything." Watergate looked at the angry Naruto and really wanted to laugh. Sure enough, outdoor sports were more suitable for their son, Naruto. In the future, he could come out more often. "Fishing, you can't be in a hurry."
"Yes, Dad. I'm not in a hurry. " Naruto bared his teeth, took out the hook full of earthworms, and showed it to his father. Then he threw the fishing rod out with a sinister smile.
Watergate looked at the fist-sized, knotted earthworms and was speechless. "Naruto, isn't the bait a little too much?
"No, not much, I can't catch them — I'll stuff them to death." Naruto turned back, his big eyes shining with wisdom.
Watergate covered his mouth and lay down on the chair. He was about to die of laughter.
Naruto was very happy to be able to entertain his father, but he did not continue. "Dad, your fish took the bait."
Watergate looked up. Sure enough, the damn fish had almost dragged his fishing rod into the water. But how could it be difficult for Watergate? He stretched out his hand and made a circle with his wrist like a whip, and the fish flew into the bucket accurately.
Naruto was embarrassed. "Dad, didn't you say that when you pull the fishing line, you have to loosen and tighten it?"
"Did I say that? I didn't. "Watergate picked the hook out of the fish's mouth and looked for earthworms to continue. But his hand touched nothing — there was not a single earthworm. He looked at Naruto's innocent eyes and sighed. "Naruto, it seems that the earthworms have escaped."
This time, Naruto was even more embarrassed. He was 13 years old this year, not three years old. Why did his father always talk to him like a three-year-old child?
"Naruto, the earthworms have escaped."
Naruto sighed in his heart. He smiled mischievously at his father, winked, grabbed the bucket and ran to the forest. "I'll catch them back. Dad, help me look after the fish."
"Yes." Watergate replied Naruto with a long voice. Seeing that Naruto seemed to be happy, he finally let himself lie on the chair again and let out a long breath. He shook his head hard as if this could wake him up a little. He was indeed not feeling very well today. The discomfort reminded him of a long time ago when he was injured and met a novice ninja. A small wound was wrapped in thick gauze, and the blood was not flowing. He seemed to have done something strange again. This morning, he woke up as usual, had breakfast, and went out with Naruto. Naruto's mission was to assemble and attend the annoying wedding security meeting. But … how did he unconsciously walk out of Konoha? Did he remember wrongly? Was he supposed to go fishing with Naruto today? Otherwise, why would he bring fishing gear with him? But would he really do something stupid like bringing fishing gear without bait? Bo Fung Watergate laughed self-deprecatingly. Maybe he didn't wake up in the morning and was still sleepwalking? Damn it, what the hell did he do when he fell asleep at night?!
Watergate's head hurt from thinking about it, but he still couldn't figure it out. Could it be … He admitted that he had some psychological barriers, but every Konoha Ninjas had some. Watergate sighed and felt around his chest. He found a medicine bottle and shook it. It seemed that there was only one pill left. He hesitated for a moment and swallowed it. He hoped that Tsunade's medicine would work this time. He didn't encounter anything unhappy recently. Bo Fung Watergate, you fool. Think carefully and look forward. You see, it's not cold or hot today. You're so comfortable. Why don't you completely relax and have fun with your son? You were doing well just now. Naruto probably didn't notice that something was wrong with you. Wake up. He's coming back. Keep it up! You don't want your son to see your inexplicable ugliness. You'll scare him.
Unfortunately, Naruto wasn't 3 years old anymore. He was 13 years old. He knew how to be afraid.
Naruto panicked and ran a distance with the bucket. Finally, he patted his chest and leaned against a tree. He threw the bucket away and took out a small walkie-talkie with trembling hands. It was his Thor communicator. There were only two buttons on it. The golden one was his father, and the silver one was Kakashi. Naruto pressed Kakashi's button. It connected in less than a second.
"Naruto, where are you? Where's your father?" Kakashi growled.
"Sure enough, Dad didn't ask for leave. Is Konoha in a mess now? "Naruto heard Kakashi's voice and calmed down a little.
"Yes, it should be. But I reacted quickly and told the office that your father suddenly felt unwell. You should accompany him to rest. You two continue to ask for leave. Where's your father? What happened? “
"Nothing happened."
"Naruto Uzumaki Genin! Stand at attention and report the situation. "Kakashi sighed. Something still happened.
"Genin Naruto Uzumaki and Naruto Bo Fung Watergate are fishing under the waterfall." Naruto replied reflexively.
"Fishing? Then why are you stuttering? You scared me to death. Thank you for secretly informing me. I can have the Anbu who can't find the missing Naruto in Konoha. That was fun. " Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. "Come back early. Remember to tell your father to match his statement. He's sick today. Don't let him know."
"Okay."
"But what? I think your father already planned this. He's been talking about spring. Don't worry and have fun. I've already asked Yamato for leave for you."
"Okay." Naruto hesitated for a moment, but still said firmly, "I think there's something wrong with my father, Kakashi."
"Is Sensei not feeling well?"
"No."
"Then why are you talking nonsense?"
"My father seems to be … I can't say. Anyway, he's weird. The way he looks at me is also strange."
"What?" Kakashi's heart was in his mouth again. The thing he was most worried about finally happened. "You're not with your father right now, are you?"
"No, I'm going back to accompany him right away."
"Don't. Stay where you are and wait for me to come to you. Don't get too close to your father. Follow him. If he attacks you, run immediately! "
"What nonsense are you talking about, Kakashi? That's my father. "
"Listen to me. Don't move. Give me a minute. I'll calculate your coordinates. Don't go near your father. "
You can't always catch fish when you're out of luck. Who knows what you'll catch when you're out of luck?
