A heavy snowfall hid the entire Konoha. After the first snow of winter, the ninjas will have a relaxing rest time, and special positions will be on duty alternately to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
The frontline ninjas, led by Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru, defeated the invading Kirigakure Village and withdrew back to Konoha in batches.
More and more ninjas are returning, and Konoha is gradually becoming lively. The atmosphere of the New Year festival has washed away the haze of war, and there are more drunkards on the streets... Uchiha Fugaku's workload has increased a lot, and the police force has only a few days.
He has handled dozens of drunken fights.
The family had just sat down at the dinner table. Uchiha Itachi picked out the slices of meat and meatballs from the pot and put them on the small plate in front of Crow. There were all the seasonings in it. Kitahara picked up a meatball and swallowed it hard. It was a treat to have hot pot in winter.
What a happy thing…
"Captain, at the restaurant on Shangnan Street, there is a fight between jounin!"
The door was knocked loudly immediately. These ninjas from the police force... really know how to pick the time!
Beihara was startled by the sudden sound. The meatballs fell into the small plate, and the seasonings splashed on the feathers...Itachi quickly took out a tissue and wiped the stains on Beihara's body: "...Are you scared?"
"...Gah!"
So angry!
Uchiha Fugaku got up and went to open the door. His face was a little ugly. After all, it was leisurely family time... When the wife and children were hot on the bed, you came to me to deal with the jounin fight. At the very least, you had to... Forget it, the genin were interfering in the fight.
I can't afford it, but at least the Sandaime and Danzo must fight!
Wow!
Swing open the door...
"You guys! What's going on?"
The person who came to report the news had very good eyesight, and he could clearly see the captain's stinky face, so he immediately told a long story: "There was a drunken brawl between ninjas on South Street, and Kakashi Hatake was also among them, but he refused to admit his mistake and accept mediation.
!”
"Then let his home..."
Uchiha Fugaku calmed down. He remembered that Hatake Kakashi's only relative, Konoha White Teeth Hatake Sakumo, had already committed suicide, so he had no relatives, or even... no companions.
After Kirigakure's final battle, there was only one person who could participate in handling the Kakashi incident - Namikaze Minato.
"I have sent people to inform the Yondaime at the same time! But..." the voice of the police ninja gradually became a little lower: "The clan... seems to have other thoughts..."
Kakashi, that Sharingan!
But Kakashi's teacher, Minato Namikaze... announced in the village that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, resigned as Hokage, and Minato Namikaze immediately became the Fourth Hokage.
After the New Year arrives, the Hokage succession ceremony will be held.
Things sound very troublesome!
Fugaku didn't bother to change his clothes and hurried to the police force. He was extremely lucky because most of the clan members refused to be on duty during the holidays. In addition to forcibly assigning tasks, his confidants were willing to stand up and share the worries...
Fugaku didn't come back after going out, Uchiha Itachi was a little depressed: "Dad..."
"Gah!"
Kitahara heard Kakashi's name, flew up and stood on Itachi's shoulder, and shouted happily: "Gah!"
Go check it out!
"Mom, let me go see dad!" Uchiha Itachi threw on a piece of clothing and chased in the direction where Uchiha Fugaku left. Mikoto was still sitting on the table, and the little boy rushed out in front of her like the wind.
.
Uchiha Mikoto looked at the full plates on the table and lowered the flame helplessly: "...come back quickly..."
The Konoha Police Force belongs exclusively to the Uchiha clan, and Itachi is the son of the clan leader, so he has unimpeded access here. Sometimes when he and Kitahara get tired of wandering around Konoha, Itachi will come to the police department and wait for Fugaku to go home together after get off work.
Itachi and Kitahara had just arrived when they heard the noise in the lobby of the police department...
"How can a person who can even kill his comrades know the pain of losing our comrades? Wuwuwu..." The cry was very uncomfortable. From the sound of the voice, this man was a tall and thick man.
Uchiha Fugaku was trying hard to reconcile: "You are drunk...Kakashi Hatake is a Konoha ninja and your companion...You guys apologize to each other, we are all in the same village..."
"I will not approve of this kind of person!"
"don't want!"
"Captain, lock them all up first! Kakashi's crime is unquestionable!"
"New Year is coming soon... It's better to let them go home to celebrate the New Year... Hmm? How should I die? What kind of book is this? Why did you pick up this book..."
"That's evidence that Kakashi attacked others..."
"...It's just a fight, don't handle it like a murder case!"
Very lively.
Apart from Kakashi's complicated identity, it was just an ordinary drunken fight. The problem was the attitude of both parties involved and the position of the police force. The arrival of Uchiha Fugaku at least solved the internal dispute in the police force.
But Fugaku's tough choice to release the two would damage the prestige of the police force... We can only wait for the families of both parties to reconcile... However, Kakashi's side...
"Hey? Itachi, why are you outside?"
With a head full of red hair that was particularly eye-catching, Kushina stood in front of Itachi with the gentle man with blond hair... The fourth generation Hokage who just took office a few days ago... Minato Namikaze.
Even though the matter could be solved with just an order from the Hokage, Namikaze Minato chose to appear as Kakashi-sensei... probably because he didn't want the people in the village to think that the Hokage was too domineering, and the matter involved the police force, so if it wasn't handled well
, will deepen the gap between the Uchiha clan and the village.
Kushina is willing to accompany him to join the Uchiha clan. The relationship is really good...
"Aunt Kushina, I...the Yondaime!"
Uchiha Itachi's eyes widened when he saw Namikaze Minato next to Kushina.
Minato Namikaze lowered himself with a smile, greeted the little boy cordially, and held his hand: "Itachi? Are you the eldest son of Fugaku and Mikoto's family? It's very cold outside, let's go in together!"
Just doing anything casually can increase people's favorability... Whether it's father, mother or son, this family is a cheating party...
Kitahara noticed Hatake Kakashi at a glance, and curiously observed the change in expression on the white-haired boy's face... It should be the change in the eyes on the mask, the stubborn eyes slowly softened, and the upturned hair drooped as his head lowered.
"The Yondaime!"
"Hokage-sama!"
The arrival of Namikaze Minato made everyone present feel a lot more cautious. He first came forward to talk to Fugaku: "I'm sorry, my disciple caused trouble to the police force and disturbed your and your family's dinner time."
"It's okay, it's my responsibility." Fugaku shook his head helplessly, looked at Kakashi and the others and said, "Leave it to Hokage-sama."
I briefly understood the cause of the incident. Someone was drunk and had bad breath. Hatake Kakashi scolded the white-haired boy overtly and covertly. Interspersed with it was the Jonin mocking Minato for being unfit to be Hokage. I guess this was Kakashi.
A reason to take action.
"I'm sorry, but my ability is indeed not recognized by everyone in the village. What you said is the truth." After Namikaze Minato apologized gently, his language suddenly became harsh, and the gentle person got angry and made everyone angry.
Surprised: "But you shouldn't be sarcastic Kakashi! The battlefield is changing rapidly, and his actions are for the village and to let more people in Konoha survive! Including us!"
As if he was not used to this seriousness, Minato's voice dropped a few decibels: "Wrong words are more likely to hurt others than fists and kicks..."
"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama...I..." Faced with the rebuke from his immediate superior, the Jonin's mentality changed a bit. After a moment, he saluted the white-haired boy: "I'm sorry, Hatake Kakashi!"
"Kakashi, because the Sandaime resigned, I had to take the position of Hokage. This is a fact." Namikaze Minato started preaching on the spot as expected. The Hokages after the Second Daime have more or less practiced speeches and the like.
…
"A ninja must be able to endure what ordinary people cannot."
"Ninjas should trust their own judgment and do the right thing. You didn't do anything wrong in the war, so why should you care about other people's attitudes? Don't treat yourself harshly for the mistakes of the entire war."
"Teacher...but...that's Rin!" Kakashi's eyes overflowed with tears, flowing down his face and moistening his eye mask.
"It is precisely because she is Lin that she makes the right decision. If one day, I judge that my existence will harm Konoha, I will also choose to let you kill me." Namikaze Minato hugged his disciple
, patting his back gently: "Lin must understand you...it's just that she underestimates the importance of her own life."
Lin does understand, but another living troubled boy will definitely not understand...
Kitahara looked at Kakashi who was crying like Parker, and suppressed his thoughts of complaining.
When the white-haired boy's mood improved, Namikaze Minato continued: "So, Kakashi, the ninjas in the village are also your companions...you got into a fight with your companions because of a quarrel, shouldn't you apologize?"
"I'm sorry..." Kakashi was persuaded by the teacher and knelt down to apologize.
Namikaze Minato glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Both parties admit their mistakes to each other and accept mediation by default. As the Hokage, I order them to be released and go home. In addition, as a Jonin, the brawl in the village was bad, so you two will go home."
Each of you will write a letter of apology and submit it to the Konoha Police Department after the New Year. Do you have any objections?"
"As you command!"
"yes!"
From the results, everyone present, whether they were the two parties to the trouble or the Uchiha clan of the Konoha Police Department, were convinced by Minato Namikaze's handling of the matter.
The majesty of the Hokage has not been weakened by his arrival, and people have to admire the way the Hokage handles things... The status of the Uchiha Police Force has also been respected. The two Jonin's letters of apology mean that this matter is still
Handled by the police force.
It is estimated that during the Yondaime's reign, many people in the Uchiha clan will identify with him...
"The Yondaime... is really amazing..." Uchiha Itachi seemed to have been baptized by his soul. He didn't know whether he was talking about his powerful methods or his powerful mouth...
