Chapter 383 Sakumo’s choice
The three of them were barbecuing around the campfire. They had all received ninja training and were well versed in outdoor barbecuing.
An iron rack was placed above the bonfire, and the fish, after being gutted and bled, were placed on the rack.
Kakashi held the recipe in hand and tried to perfectly replicate the grilled fish instructions in the book.
To be honest, he has been using fish as food for many years and has fried fish since he was in school.
At that time, Rin and Obito tasted it and found it tasted very good.
However, Kakashi is not really interested in grilled fish.
After all, fried river fish carries a beautiful memory.
If Haneda hadn't said that barbecue outdoors would create more atmosphere, the three of them should have been at home.
Kakashi brushed oil on the surface of the fish and turned it over from time to time to allow the fish to be heated more evenly.
While grilling fish, we chatted:
"It's been a long time since we've gotten together like this. We were busy with the war during the Third World War, and busy with missions at other times."
"Only in times of peace can we have time to get together like this."
Sakumo thought Kakashi was blaming him, and apologized:
"I'm sorry, Kakashi, but I had no choice at that time. I had to deal with the Second Shinobi World War, the Third Shinobi World War, and the complicated situation that continued after the war."
Kakashi said: "I don't blame you, father. Sometimes ninjas really have no choice. Events will force people to make choices, especially those in high positions. On the contrary, ordinary people will not suffer so much."
Haneda said: "That's because ordinary people don't know the truth of the matter. Ignorance is also a kind of bliss."
Talking about heavy topics, the three of them fell silent.
Men are so strange. At first they are just talking about family matters, but the topic will inexplicably shift to life and national affairs.
Sakumo opened three bottles of beer and handed one to Haneda and Kakashi.
Haneda is still the same, indifferent to alcohol, but he will usually drink a few glasses if his elders offer him one, of course, this is on the premise that he doesn't get drunk.
Kakashi is similar to Haneda, but he is more resistant to alcohol.
Alcohol can affect people's judgment, and most of the time, Kakashi explicitly refuses to drink.
Obviously, given the current situation, Kakashi was willing to have a few drinks with his father.
Sakumo accepted Haneda's reincarnation technique, and now he is no longer an immortal body reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation, but a real mortal body.
He took the initiative to ask about what had happened in the past ten years:
"Haneda, have you been doing well as Hokage these years?"
"Did the ninjas like Sarutobi, Shimura, and Hyuga deliberately make things difficult for you?"
"You are not from the Hokage family, so the Sandaime must have given you some trouble, right?"
Haneda had just taken a sip of wine when he heard something that made him want to laugh.
He gave Kakashi a look, and Kakashi understood and said:
"Um... Father, how should I put it? The Sandaime took the initiative to abdicate. The Shimura clan abandoned Danzo and took the initiative to follow Haneda. The Hinata clan agreed to support Haneda's ascension to the throne a long time ago."
"As for the other ninja clans... Father, they are well aware of Haneda's strength, and they all assume that the Sandaime will gracefully step down."
That was all Kakashi said, and then he glanced back.
Haneda had no choice but to continue talking about his own achievements:
"During these years as Hokage, I think he did a pretty good job. He forced other ninja villages to voluntarily seek peace, abolished the daimyo, and governed the country well. It's just that he was a little bit unprofessional..."
Sakumo pressed on, "What do you mean by not doing your job? It's normal for people to have little hobbies, even the Hokage."
"I've read a history book that introduces ancient daimyo. It records cricket daimyo, Taoist daimyo, carpenter daimyo, and even international student daimyo."
"As long as the hobby is not a waste of time and money, it's fine."
Haneda said awkwardly: "Ahem...I just pushed all the work to others."
"..." Shumao was speechless.
Is a Hokage who doesn't work and doesn't hold power still a Hokage...
Haneda added, "But I passed all the work on to Shikaku, a young man from the Nara clan."
Sakumo said: "Shikakuto is quite stable and has no ambitions. The Nara clan has been training him as the next clan leader. You can give the work to him."
Sakumo commented on his opinion of Shikaku and then turned to talk about himself:
"I have been dead for a long time, but the reputation of Konoha White Fang should still be well-known in the village and beyond, right?"
"If I live in the village, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble. Haneda, you should have thought of the arrangements in advance, right?"
Haneda nodded and said, "There are three places. One is the Star Ninja Village in the Bear Country. There is poisonous fog everywhere. The place is very closed, and all the people there are mine."
"The second place is the Land of Waves. It's by the sea, there are no ninja villages, and no wandering ninjas. There shouldn't be anyone there who knows you, Uncle Sakumo, and everyone there is mine."
"The other place is the moon. There is no one there. It is absolutely safe and confidential. But life there is too lonely."
Sakumo said without hesitation: "Let's go to the moon. I have wanted to live alone for a long time."
That being said, Sakumo's main concern was not to trouble Haneda and Kakashi.
He doesn't know the current situation of the Star Ninja Village and the Land of Waves. As long as he stays on the moon, he will be exposed if he attracts the attention of someone with ulterior motives.
The moon, on the other hand...
In fact, Sakumo didn't know if it was possible to live there, but judging from Haneda's tone, it should be possible.
As long as it's not a deadly place, he can stay anywhere.
"Uncle Sakumo, there's no need to do this. Even if the matter of the Rinnegan is exposed, it doesn't matter to me now." Haneda advised.
Kakashi knew that his father rarely changed his decision, especially now. He said:
"I am going to the moon with my father. Forgive me, Haneda. You can give the position of acting Hokage to someone else."
Kakashi flicked Haneda's forehead lightly, and Haneda was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
"Who did you learn this from?" Haneda gritted his teeth.
"you."
"..."
After Kakashi's interruption, the matter was decided.
The bonfire was still emitting warm flames, and the aroma of barbecue spread all around with the wind.
After sprinkling with spices, it is served.
The table grew out of Haneda's Wood Release Technique on the spot. I have to say, Wood Release Technique is very convenient in the wild!
If the three of them want to continue partying at night, Haneda can also use the three-bedroom-one-living-room method.
But after dinner, Sakumo asked Haneda and Kakashi to take him to the moon.
Haneda was afraid that Sakumo and Kakashi would be too bored on the moon, so he went to the bookstore and bought a whole bookshelf of books.
I also bought stand-alone and two-player video games. If I don’t want to read, I can play games.
In order to earn some extra money, Haneda worked part-time as a game planner when he was bored in recent years and ported many classic games.
Enough for the father and son to play on the moon.
