[Naruto] On the feasibility of unifying the ninja world with 4399 mini-games

Chapter 37 29. Obstruction of official duties or promotion of efficiency?

"Aqiu!"

"Aqiu!"

"Aqiu!"

After sneezing three times in a row, Kunoki knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, waiting for someone at the door of the Hokage Building yesterday was a wrong decision, and not listening to the guard's reminder and continuing to sleep in the cold wind was a big mistake.

I have a premonition of catching a cold.

Before leaving the Konoha Library, Kunoji sniffed and asked Sudou for leave in advance: "Grandpa Sudou, if I don't come tomorrow, it means my cold is getting worse. Don't worry about me. I'll ask for leave in advance today." one……"

Sudou stretched out his hand: "Stop! You spoke too fast. Can you add some punctuation?"

Kunoki: "...It's not that I spoke too fast, it's just that my nasal sound got worse and I felt a little stuffy and breathless. That's all."

Sudo:……

After sleeping until midnight, Kunoji turned on the light in the room with empty steps.

The nightmares came one after another. I was sweating all over my body, and I had chills and fever. It was a fever in the middle of the night.

He took antipyretic medicine, climbed into the quilt and lay down.

Suddenly I remembered "Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind" and what to do: The high autumn wind howls in August, my lips are scorched and my mouth is so dry that I can't breathe.

Sorry, I only remember these few sentences.

Kunoki sighed.

Even after many years in the ninja world, I can still sympathize with Du Fu: This is the sorrow of all singles in the world.

With such messy thoughts, she fell into a drowsy sleep.

----

The next day.

Namikaze Minato frowned and stood up.

I feel obviously absent-minded today.

"You are my regret."

what exactly is it?What happened?

He opened the window and glanced at the gloomy sky. His mood was ups and downs. The low cumulonimbus clouds seemed to be weighing down on his heart, and he felt restless and anxious.

She had such a great influence on him that just a look or a word could make him feel uneasy.

Now it's even worse, it has seriously hindered official duties.

Is it possible to ask her what "regret" means in a circumstantial way under the pretext of "obstructing official business"?

As soon as this thought came out, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but laugh.

When did he, who was already 28 years old, start to behave childishly when it came to things related to her?

But this is really not the way to go.

Namikaze Minato called an ANBU: "I have to leave for a while." After explaining the precautions, he went straight to the Konoha Library.

"You have a cold?" Namikaze Minato frowned.

Sudou: "If you don't come today, it means your cold has gotten worse. She was right what she said yesterday."

"Thank you, go ahead and do your work." After saying that, the Fourth Hokage disappeared in front of Sudou.

Sudou: How can I say that Hokage-sama is really flattered when he comes, but what about Xiao Ji and Yondaime?Why does it feel like the relationship is unusual?

"Knock, knock," Minato Namikaze knocked on the door twice, but no one answered the door after a long time.

The uneasiness in his heart deepened, and he said "offended" in his heart, and broke in through the window next to him.

After opening the beige curtains, Namikaze Minato stood in the attic and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the black-haired girl sleeping soundly under the quilt.

He caught a glimpse of the antipyretic medicine placed on the bedside. He hesitated, then stepped forward to test the temperature of her forehead with his hand. It was normal. The antipyretic medicine temporarily suppressed the rising body temperature.

But only temporarily.

Namikaze Minato glanced around the attic and returned his gaze to the girl's face.

He slept peacefully and seemed much better behaved than usual.

I don't know what I was dreaming about, my eyelashes fluttered slightly, my eyebrows began to frown, and my tightly pursed lips were dry and pale.

Don't frown.

Namikaze Minato's heart trembled, and he leaned down, stretched out his hand, and gently helped her stretch her eyebrows.

When his fingers touched the distinct eyebrows, he retracted his hand like an electric shock and took a step back guiltily.

Breaking into private houses is not enough, why should we take advantage of others' danger?

The top priority is how to deal with the patient.

Namikaze Minato glanced around the small kitchen, and a thought that made him feel ashamed came to his mind.

After several struggles, he finally convinced himself.

She caught a cold because she was waiting for him at the door of the Hokage Tower yesterday. In the final analysis, it was his fault. He had the obligation to take care of her until she got better - as a guardian and as an elder.

With this in mind, Namikaze Minato came to the sleeping girl again, leaned down, and carefully took the girl and the quilt into his arms.

The moment he opened the door, the cold air outside hit his face. Minato Namikaze pulled his Hokage robe and covered Kunoki's head exposed outside the quilt.

He returned to his home as quickly as possible, and after placing Kunoji, who was tightly wrapped in a quilt in his arms, on the bed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

For the first time, Namikaze Minato regretted not setting a Flying Thunder God mark in his house, otherwise he wouldn't have carried her across the roof with a guilty conscience.

He... was simply like a trafficker who abducted girls, broke into private houses, and then stole them out.

He should pray that no one sees him - otherwise the story of Hokage-sama kidnapping a girl in broad daylight while taking advantage of someone's danger will be spread throughout the ninja world tomorrow.

It's just for the convenience of taking care of patients, Namikaze Minato said to himself.

There was too little food in her house, and he was not familiar with the place where the items were placed. He would not be able to find many necessary things when he looked for them. Rather than rummaging around in her house, it would be better to move her to another place.

Well, for good reason.

Namikaze Minato poured half a cup of water into the water cup and let it cool. He placed the half cup of water and the hot water bottle on the bedside so that the patient could drink warm water when he came. He also placed the antipyretic medicine next to the water cup.

Then he put on his apron and went into the kitchen.

Patients cannot eat nothing but foods that are easy to digest but rich in nutrients.

After everything was ready, he took another look at the girl who was still sleeping soundly, tested her forehead temperature again, and then left home.

Absenteeism from work is still out of the question.

----

Kunoji woke up in a daze, feeling his mouth was dry. He stood up slowly, squinting his eyes and stretching his legs to reach for the slippers on the floor.

Eh?Wait where are her slippers?

Kunoji rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong. There was only a pair of men's slippers next to the bed.

Do, do what?

Already drowsy, her first reaction was to see if there was a man suddenly appearing next to her - you know how it works in bloody dramas!

Fortunately, there is not an extra man around...

...It’s not bad!Obviously this bed is not her bed!Look at the floor and the furniture. It doesn’t look like you’re at home, okay? !

Kunoji panicked until he saw the small note on the bedside:

[Sorry, I moved you to my house without your consent.The porridge is hot in the kitchen. Remember to take your medicine after drinking the porridge. Don't go to bed right away. Walk around the house and read any books on the bookshelf, but don't read for too long. Take a rest when you are tired. I will be back soon - — Namikaze Minato]

My heart skipped several beats.

Hokage-sama, please stop spreading your charm everywhere, okay?

...And why can even the small note seem to read with a gentle and steady tone?

----

Since the Fourth Hokage came back from a trip today, he has been able to process documents twice as fast as usual. He even speaks a little faster than usual. Of course, he gets off work earlier than usual - a lot.

The guard of the Hokage Building was a little confused today. It was the first time that he encountered the Fourth Hokage getting off work before the sun went down. The key was that the expression on the Hokage's face was a bit unpredictable.

He said he was smiling as usual, but his face was full of anxiety; he said he was anxious, but he also had a hint of sweetness. Why?

"I'm back." Minato Namikaze whispered as he walked in, unconsciously raising a smile.

I'm back. The meaning of this sentence is that someone is waiting for him at home - although this person seems to have been "invited" back by him through extraordinary means.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Kunoki hurriedly pulled on his larger slippers, walked to the table and stood upright in a military posture: "...Hello, Hokage-sama."

Namikaze Minato: "Do you feel better?"

Kunoji nodded: "I think I can go up the mountain and hunt tigers now."

Minato Namikaze knocked on the table and made a serious expression: "Don't worry, it's just the effect of the antipyretic medicine. I don't ask you to kill a tiger. I just ask you not to vomit or have diarrhea in the middle of the night today."

Kunoji pursed his lips to suppress a smile.

The head teacher’s sense of déjà vu came again.

Minato Namikaze saw that she had two deep dimples from suppressing her laughter, so he couldn't help but smile too, but his ears quietly turned red.

In the kitchen, Namikaze Minato was busy going in and out wearing an apron, followed by a little tail Kunoki, who was also wearing big slippers.

Namikaze Minato said softly: "Go and rest, don't follow me."

"I... just do some exercise. If you need any help, I can help." Kunoji said sarcastically.

I always feel that asking the respected Hokage-sama to be a nanny or something is too much.

By the way, is the adjective "highly respected" somewhat inappropriate?No matter what, that's what it means anyway.

Namikaze Minato glanced at her face, which was a bit paler than usual: "I don't need any help, but if you want to follow, just follow. Go and rest when you are tired."

"Yeah, definitely." Kunoji nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Kunoki stood next to him like a curious baby and watched Namikaze Minato cook.

The bony hand holds the handle of the knife and cuts the mushrooms accurately and unhurriedly, which is quite beautiful.

While rinsing the vegetables under the faucet, Kunoki suddenly saw a light red thing on the back of his hand. He thought it was a bug on the vegetables, so he reached out and brushed it off.

But when I encountered it, I realized that it was not a bug at all, but a bumpy scar.

Was it left behind during the battle?

The water flowed down, and the hands paused.

Although it was just a light touch, it made him unable to move as if he was frozen.

Seeing that Minato Namikaze's hand movements suddenly stopped, Kuno Nori stood up on tiptoes and reached out to turn off the faucet. When she looked up, she found that he was looking at her motionless and absorbed.

Being stared at made her heart beat wildly, and she shrank her shoulders: "Yes... I'm sorry, I thought there was a small insect crawling on my hand, so..."

Fever can cause vision loss. Fever can cause vision loss. I'm sorry.

Namikaze Minato woke up suddenly, looked away unnaturally, and asked, "Does your throat still hurt?"

"...It hurts, and it's uncomfortable to swallow." Kunoki became angry when he said this. Tonsillitis is a "breathing pain" of living/taking off/taking off/.

"Go sit down and drink more water." Namikaze Minato's tone became a little more serious.

An unquestionable order from Hokage--so Kunoki walked out of the kitchen dejectedly.

Namikaze Minato sighed.

If she followed him again, he might cut his fingers while chopping vegetables.

----

At about one o'clock in the morning, Minato Namikaze couldn't let go, so he got up and walked to the guest room.

Through the crack in the door, you can vaguely see the lights on in the room - is it really burning again?

He knocked lightly on the door as a signal, then pushed the door open and went in.

The black-haired girl huddled up, with a book thrown next to her pillow.

Namikaze Minato walked to the bed and sat down on the edge, asking softly: "Have you taken the antipyretic medicine?"

The black-haired girl nodded slightly, her eyes were red and there were tears on her face.

When you have a fever, you can't say where you feel sad, but you feel sad everywhere.I originally wanted to read a book to divert my attention, but I didn’t even have the strength to hold the book, let alone read it?

Namikaze Minato got up and went out, fetched a basin and a few towels, soaked the towels in water, wrung them out, put them on the black-haired girl's forehead, and picked up another towel to gently wipe away the tears on her cheeks. , about two or three minutes later, he took off the towel on his forehead and replaced it with another wet towel.

After doing this several times, the expression on the black-haired girl's face gradually relaxed and her breathing calmed down.

The fever-reducing medicine also started to take effect.

Namikaze Minato breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to stand up when his hand was held by the black-haired girl: "...Thank you."

He was startled, and then said softly: "It's time to sleep."

The black-haired girl grabbed his hand stubbornly: "I will pay you back, Namikaze Minato."

His eyelashes twitched, and his blue eyes trembled slightly: "...No need to pay it back."
