Konoha 61, the last day of March
National capital of the Land of Fire
7: 45 pm.
The lights were lit.
A cheerful and warm atmosphere spread.
Some people had already started drinking and singing for the carnival after the wedding tomorrow. Guests from various countries had also arrived, people wearing different clothes and speaking different accents filled the streets. The people of the Land of Fire, who were as enthusiastic as fire, were happy to come and watch the fun, and the excited hawkers also walked through the streets and alleys, ready to make a fortune … In short,
You can't be secretly happy when you encounter something happy.
This was a well-known truth in the Land of Fire.
Of course,
Our ninjas didn't dare to play like this, whether it was Konoha or the ninjas from other countries who came with businessmen and politicians.
They were all facing a great enemy.
They nervously guarded against each other in the shadows of the corners. Who knows how many people came to fish in troubled waters to make trouble.
Anyway,
One of the guests, the Prime Minister of Water Country, looked at the bustling scene of the Land of Fire.
He sighed quietly — the Land of the Wind, the most populous of the five major countries in the world, and the Land of Fire, which had unique natural resources, had a complete alliance, and it was not the kind of treaty that could be torn up at any time.
It was a marriage alliance. In other words, when the royal bloodline of the Land of Fire was mixed with the royal bloodline of the Land of the Wind, if an heir was smoothly born … At least in the eyes of the people, the two countries were already a family. In addition, the economic cooperation that had been doubtful had brought all kinds of visible benefits …
"Hey." This short and hunchbacked old man paced like an ordinary tourist.
He knocked his cane on the ground. "Will that Bo Fung Watergate come tomorrow or not? If he doesn't get the National capital, do we have to wait until the wedding to go to Konoha to see him? How safe is it to go to Konoha to negotiate? Mizukage,
You are also a village's Kage,
Put yourself in his shoes,
How high is the success rate of our negotiation with that golden-haired boy. "
"Old-sama." Mei Teru frowned slightly.
Although she followed him all the way, she still couldn't get used to the bombardment of questions. She didn't remember so many words at all. How to answer. "I'm just a ninja, a ninja is a knife."
"Hahaha." The old minister of Water Country smiled and stroked his silver mustache. "Don't belittle yourself. Look at Bo Fung Watergate. It's a pity to be a ninja. I don't believe you don't envy him."
"There's nothing to be envious of." Mei Teru ran her fingers through her hair. "However, I do admire him a little."
"Admiration? You've only exchanged a few telegrams with him, and you've never met him in person. Although the legend was not bad, the credibility of legends … Even if it was true, how could he not miss out on our monarch? Regardless of status, age, and appearance, our monarch is quite suitable for you. You have to seriously consider it. Anyway, what everyone discussed was that our country and the hidden village would be completely tied together in the future, right? What a good thing. As for mutual trust and feasibility? What better idea is there than to directly marry our monarch? It just so happens that the monarch also has a good impression of you. "
"Hahaha." This time, it was Mei Teru who laughed dryly. She didn't know how to answer this question. Should she say that she was honored to be chosen by the monarch, a famous handsome man, or was it unfortunate that she didn't like the handsome monarch?
But fortunately, the old minister didn't delve into this issue. He even seemed to have completely forgotten what he had just said after he finished speaking. He was already 70 years old and had seen everything. People who lived to the end didn't care too much about anything. His life experience told him that if he wanted to do something, he couldn't force it. It was better to let nature take its course. After all, there was never a forever good thing in this world, because good things could be followed by bad things. Therefore, although his monarch considered that it would be better to directly marry "Katana" and raise her at home, could a man and a woman from two completely different worlds really live together in harmony? Just like the marriage that Bo Fung Watergate arranged for the Wind and Fire Alliance — if it was done well, of course the world would be harmonious and stable, but what if it was done badly? He prayed that the Wind and Fire Alliance would fight for another 200 years. He prayed that damned Bo Fung Watergate would lose and have no descendants. He should have just been a ninja and not played politics.
Politics was really a good thing. It was so good that it seemed that ninja villages all over the world were beginning to stir — a world completely controlled by weapons? Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
"Sigh, don't forget to tell your old man." The old man seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at the young ninja behind him who kept glancing at the jewelry shop on the street and continued to walk with his cane — Mizukage? 30 years old wasn't young anymore. She was also a woman. Women should be married. "I say, Mei Teru. Tell me in detail about the legendary young Naruto. What exactly is this Golden Flash? I hope it's not the same as the Kazekage that I just saw today — it's completely indescribable! "
…
Konoha Anbu warned you, don't compare our Naruto with the Kazekage!
Konoha, the Land of Fire.
It was dark before 8 o 'clock.
The smoke gradually disappeared.
In the special ward underground of Konoha Hospital, there was a ward that was almost labeled as "Naruto Only".
Kakashi waved away the two Anbu on duty at the door, pushed the door open and walked in with the food box. The light in the outer room was on, but there was no one. It seemed that Kabuto had shrewdly run away. Kakashi sighed and gently opened the door of the inner room — the thick curtain on the only small window was tightly closed, and it was dark. Bo Fung Watergate was lying on the bed with a thin blanket wrapped around his body. His face was facing the wall, and his eyes were closed. It seemed that he was asleep. But how could Kakashi not tell whether he was asleep or awake?
"Sensei, get up and eat. Naruto cooked warm Mahado noodles for you. " Kakashi opened the food box and took out the bowl. In an instant, the fragrant and warm smell spread throughout the room.
Unfortunately, the answer Kakashi heard was still the sound of breathing that seemed to be in sleep.
Kakashi put down the bowl, walked over, and touched Bo Fung Watergate's forehead, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"I don't feel well anywhere." Minato grabbed Kakashi's hand and flung it away.
"Then get up and eat!" Kakashi, who was busy with work, was also a little impatient. He grabbed Watergate's arm and pulled him up, "I'm full …"
Then everything will be fine — Kakashi was interrupted before he finished his sentence. He reached out and gently pulled Watergate's hand that was strangling his neck, "Sensei, calm down, it's me, Kakashi, your only disciple who is still alive. You see, my neck is definitely red. If you keep strangling me, I'll die. "
"It doesn't matter. You're just wasting food anyway." Bo Fung Watergate ruffled Kakashi's hair with one hand and continued to tighten his grip with the other.
Kakashi was speechless. He wanted to push Sensei away, but he saw that the back of Sensei's head was facing the wall lamp. He wasn't sure if Sensei would be hurt in his current state, so he could only continue to hold on to Sensei's arm. He quickly hugged Sensei's shoulder and panted, "Calm down. It's me. Kakashi. "
"I know it's you." Watergate broke free from Kakashi's embrace, got up, and put on his shoes.
— — "Bang." The toilet door closed.
Kakashi listened to the sound of washing inside, rubbed his neck and sighed, "Sensei, the Chief of Staff asked me to ask you if you're still going to National Capital tomorrow. National Capital. "
"Aren't you afraid that I'll start a massacre at National Capital?" Watergate took his head out of the sink and looked at his pale face in the mirror. He felt disgusted and put his head back in.
Kakashi frowned. He stood up and knocked on the toilet door, "Then who's going to speak on your behalf? I was thinking that since the third generation of Sensei is already at National Capital, but he said that he always speaks at funerals and has a bad reputation. He's old and won't take responsibility if he says something wrong. "
Watergate didn't answer. The splashing of cold water on his head was very comfortable. He was a little reluctant to get up.
But Kakashi was even more anxious outside. He twisted the doorknob and found that the door was locked from the inside, "Sensei, what are you doing?!"
"Sleepwalking." Watergate was irritated by the sound of the door lock, but he still raised his head and opened the door for Kakashi.
Kakashi opened the door and saw Watergate soaking wet as if he had just been drenched by a rainstorm. He quickly wrapped him in a bath towel and dried his dripping hair, "Sensei, control yourself. Control yourself. If you really want to vent, you can hit me. If you're not satisfied, you can go to the toilet. Don't torture yourself."
Watergate didn't say anything.
"Sensei, take off your wet clothes." Kakashi dried Watergate's hair until it was dry. He turned up the temperature of the air conditioner and found a clean set of clothes for him, "Hurry and change."
Watergate seemed to be in a better mood. He changed his clothes obediently and asked, "You said that they asked who's going to speak on my behalf. You tell them."
"I'm stationed in Konoha."
"I'm in Konoha."
"It's because you're in Konoha, Sensei …" Kakashi continued to dry his teacher's hair, "Anyway, I can't do it. Most of the personnel are in the National Capital. You alone won't be enough in Konoha."
"Then let the senior leaders in Konoha play rock-paper-scissors." Watergate snatched the towel from Kakashi's hand, "It's the same to anyone."
"Okay." Kakashi shrugged. Rock-Paper-Scissors it is. He smiled at his teacher, who seemed to be in a better mood, and pushed the noodles forward. He snatched the towel back and stuffed the chopsticks into Watergate's hands, "Hurry up and eat before it gets cold. Naruto is so busy now, but he still remembers to make dinner for Dad. "
Watergate stirred the noodles in his bowl slowly with his chopsticks and kicked Kakashi, "Where's Naruto?"
"Working overtime."
"You're lying."
"We're understaffed."
"He has time to cook, but no time to visit his father who's locked up in the hospital? Where's Naruto?"
"Sensei … Naruto." Kakashi didn't know how to answer.
"Ah, ah, I know what you're thinking. I'm quite violent now. It's better not to let Naruto get close. In fact, I don't want Naruto to know that his father has such a shameful side. "Watergate smiled and put down his chopsticks," Besides, I have a criminal record. But I didn't have a choice. Naruto was so young at that time. Naruto was so young. If I really couldn't live, of course I couldn't leave Naruto to suffer alone. "
"Sensei, let's not talk about these unhappy things. It's been a long time. "
"At that time, Naruto wasn't even three years old. I asked him, 'Are you willing to be with Dad forever?' He told me in a soft voice that he was willing to do it. So I choked his neck, just like I choked you. But my son's neck is different from yours. It's also different from the enemies I've met. It's so soft, so small. If only we could end everything at that time. I could take Naruto to find Kina, and the three of us could be reunited. "
"Sensei." Kakashi held Watergate's shoulder with a little force, "Think about things and look forward. Get better quickly. As for the past, let bygones be bygones. Look at Naruto, he's always so happy. Be happy. "
"Well, that's you, my Naruto." Watergate didn't shake off Kakashi this time. He lowered his head and sighed slightly, "He wants to go out. He wants to travel around the world like Jiraiya sensei. He doesn't like Konoha. But I can't let him go out. It's too dangerous outside. I only have one son. If something happens to him … "
"Sensei, it won't happen." Kakashi sighed.
"What won't happen! Last time, when you took him with you in the Wave Country, he was almost assassinated by Haku, yes, Haku who was with Zabuza! "
"That was an accident, really, sensei."
"Accident? Screw your accident! That's your negligence! Even you, who watched Naruto grow up, didn't pay attention to him. How can I trust others! "
"Then you should trust Naruto! Let Naruto become stronger! " Kakashi suppressed his inner roar and shook Bo Fung Watergate, as if this could wake him up a little.
But Watergate was still silent in his own thoughts, "Trust? Of course I trust my son. But how strong! Tell me! He's the Force Of Human Column! Don't give me those nouns for the common people to see. It's not like you don't know what the Force Of Human Column is! Look at me, Eero, Naruto and I, Eero, except for the different sealing techniques, what's the difference between us! Tell me the truth, do you really see me, Eero, as a normal ninja! And that old Uzumaki Mito, she's willing to become a monster for her husband, no one can stop her! But why do you have to bring my wife along! Do you know how painful it is to become the Force Of Human Column, Kina! Do you know how painful it is for the Force Of Human Column to use those powers that don't belong to them! Kina is crying out in pain, she's in pain! "
"Okay, sensei, it's okay, it's okay now." Kakashi patted Watergate's back, "Calm down, think about it. If it weren't for the Force Of Human Column, with her personality, she wouldn't have lived to adulthood. It's the same for our Naruto. And he said it himself, the Infinite Chakra, with its super recovery ability, other people can't have it even if they want it. "
"If other people want it, they can have it. If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, I wouldn't have … and you, why did you announce Naruto's matter to the public? I'm so tired every day, but I still have to come back and teach you how to use the sealing technique. I'm just afraid that no one will take care of Naruto if I die!"
"Be rational, Naruto is the son of you and Kina. Apart from Nine Tails, his own power is not inferior to yours. Your sealing technique can't limit his rapid growth, okay?"
"But have you ever thought that if Naruto unsealed his seal and met Nine Tails?
What would Nine Tails say to Naruto? His incompetent selfish father and poor mother? How do you want me to explain it to my lovely son? Tell him?
Because his beloved father is a sinner. Not only did he kill countless people, he even killed his mother with his own hands, making him bear a tragic life! "
"Sensei!
Because you didn't kill Kina. Naruto is living a happy life. You've saved more people than you've killed. "
"You're lying, Kakashi. You're always lying to me. Then why do I see those blood-red things when I close my eyes? Kina's hair, crushed internal organs, yellow fat, green bile, and white flesh. What kind of stupid thing did I do to invent something like the Spiro Ball? Do you know, Kakashi, since I started using the Spiro Ball, I don't know how many people have died by my hands. They're all crushed … "
Kakashi hugged Watergate even tighter. "Don't say stupid things. It's all in the past. It's a good thing to be strong. It can help us protect the people who are important to us. You see, everyone admires you so much. You didn't do anything wrong, really. "
"You're lying to me, Kakashi. You're always lying to me. I've never protected the people who are important to me."
"Then what am I?" Kakashi whispered. "What is Naruto? Guy and Anko, Naruto's guards, Konoha and everyone in the Fire Country. What are they? Trust me, you didn't hurt anyone. You saved everyone. "
"But what's on the Memorial Tablet and what's under it?"
"Not everyone will get a leopard when they throw a dice. Don't blame everything on yourself." Kakashi smiled and let go of Watergate. "Don't think too much. The sooner you get better, the sooner you can see Naruto. If you continue to struggle for two more days, I won't help you hide it from Naruto. Do you really want Naruto to see you like this? Come on, eat something and go back to sleep. You need sleep. Everything will be better after you sleep. "
Watergate finally raised his head and reached for the bowl on the table. But Kakashi quickly took the bowl away and took out a packet of biscuits. "It's cold. Eat this. It's your favorite brand. It's original. Do you want to drink some water? "
Watergate bit the biscuit mechanically and shook his head.
。 But Kakashi still put the water in Watergate's hand and patted him on the back.
"Slow down. Go back to sleep. I'm here. Nothing will happen. "
Watergate nodded. "You don't have to worry too much about me. I'm just …"
"I know, I know. Good luck, sensei." Kakashi saw that his sensei had quickly finished the biscuits and took a towel to wipe his hands. "I have confidence in you. Sleep well for a few days. You're just a little tired. You'll be fine after a good rest.
"I hope so." Watergate sighed and stretched out his hand. "Give me some sleeping pills."
"Sensei, don't eat that kind of thing again. You can do it yourself. The medicine will continue to destroy your poor gastric mucosa." Kakashi hesitated, took out the medicine bottle and carefully poured out a pill.
"What's the use of a stomach? Let me go to sleep quickly. It's better if I can't get up. " Watergate grabbed the bottle. "Give it to me. Tsunade's special medicine has been finished. One or two pills like this won't work at all."
Kakashi hurriedly took the bottle from his sensei's hand and carefully poured out another pill. "Double. No more, really."
Watergate rolled his eyes at Kakashi, took it, and swallowed it without drinking water. Then, she grabbed the blanket and continued to wrap herself on the bed.
Kakashi sighed and slightly opened the thick curtains. "Go to sleep. You'll be fine when the sun shines in."
"Get out." Watergate glanced at the bright stars outside and felt a little awkward. He finally couldn't help but cover his head with the quilt. "Don't make me kick you out."
Kakashi had no choice but to shut the door quietly with the noodles in his hand. Kabuto came back from the outer room.
"The more you know, the faster you die." Kakashi glanced at Kabuto.
"I just came back." Kabuto's voice was relaxed, but his expression was heavy.
"In short, no matter how much you heard, please forget it." Kakashi smiled at Kabuto and put the noodles in front of him. He took out the Thor communicator and shook it. "I've been called by Lifestealer. Don't waste the noodles."
Kabuto nodded and watched as Kakashi disappeared and began to eat. Cooked tomatoes, beaten egg white and egg white, green juice oozing out of the vegetables with a single bite, and noodles that were swollen from being soaked in water. No matter how he looked at it, he could not relate it to a broken corpse.
Rescuers often can't save themselves.
