The next day, because he had to accompany Gintoki to "apologise" to the Fire Country Daimyo, the Sandaime did not show up for the whole day.
It wasn't until dusk fell that the "apologised" Sandaime appeared in the Hokage's office wearing only briefs.
"Daimyo-sama is really huge~hehehe~"
"I'm not inferior to the young people either! Come again, come again!"
"Lord Daimyo, you lost again~hehehe..."
Seeing the Sandaime who was already drunk and still gibbering, Minato blinked his eyes.
After being silent for a long time, he pointed to the Sandaime and the Daimyo, who were sleeping drunkenly on the ground and were dressed in the same outfit except for their underwear, and asked Gintoki, who was still barely awake even though he had also drunk a lot.
"Then what...what happened? By the way, did the Sandaime-sama and the Daimyo-sama switch their shorts?"
"Hey? Is there one? How can you tell?"
Gintoki asked drunkenly, being supported by Obito who had been waiting at the door of the store while Gintoki and the others were having fun.
"The ones the Sandaime is wearing are obviously the Daimyo-sama's shorts! The stain on the front is exactly the same as what I saw yesterday!"
"What are you talking about? Aren't all men's shorts like this? They get dirty easily! That's why you have to change your shorts every day, right?"
Minato:......
Obito said: "What, so the Daimyo-sama is now wearing the Sandaime-sama's shorts, and the Sandaime-sama is wearing the Daimyo-sama's shorts?"
"I've heard rumors like this."
Gintoki's expression suddenly became serious. He held his chin and began to explain some unknown history: "The first Hokage Senju Hashirama encountered many difficulties when he first founded Konoha. The biggest difficulty was to follow
Negotiations with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. In order to show his love for the Country of Fire and his loyalty to the Daimyo, Senju Hashirama took off his shorts in front of the Daimyo at that time!
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire at that time was also moved by the sincerity of the first Hokage to take off his shorts and finally agreed to the establishment of the Ninja Village. Afterwards, he even took off his shorts and exchanged them with Senju Hashirama. This incident later became
It’s a beautiful story that everyone talks about. It’s known as the friendship between shorts in history!”
"I see!"
Obito understood instantly, and looked at the Sandaime and the Fire Country Daimyo with emotion: "In a sense, the Daimyo-sama and the Sandaime-sama have recreated the most important historical moment in Konoha! It was not just
Shorts, that’s a symbol of peace!”
At this time, Gintoki and the others were waiting outside the door while they were having fun in the store. Kakashi, who had just brought the Daimyo and the Sandaime back, couldn't stand it.
"Then what... Obito, this idiot coaxed you, there is no such history at all. What is a shorts acquaintance? There is no such thing!"
"Huh? No?"×2
Looking at Minato and Obito who were stunned for a moment and asking questions at the same time, Kakashi fell silent, then held his forehead with a tired expression on his face.
"Why do you think it's true? You'll know it's false as soon as you hear it! What is exchanging shorts? What's the point? Nothing at all!"
"Is it meaningless? No, I'm afraid it's not meaningless at all."
Gintoki shook his head and said, his expression became serious and he looked at the Sandaime and the Fire Country Daimyo who were lying on the ground: "This kind of thing should have other meanings. Exchanging shorts is in a sense
It's like giving your life to the other person!
The village fights for the country, and the village needs the country's complete trust and unconditional wholehearted support. Neither is enough!
In other words, exchanging shorts means entrusting your life (roots) to the protection of the other person in a sense!"
"Damn it! What you said actually makes sense!"
Kakashi cursed in a low voice, but then his shoulder was patted by Gintoki again.
"Kakashi, not only what is written in history books is called history, please remember it clearly!"
"Shut up! This kind of nonsense is not called history!"
"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet." Gintoki raised his hand to stop Kakashi, and then his eyes deepened again and revealed a bit of emotion, "After the shorts, in order to live up to the trust of the daimyo,
, the first Hokage Senju Hashirama wears the Daimyo's shorts every day to remind himself that he cannot live up to the Daimyo's trust...
In the end, he died young because he was infected by germs due to poor hygiene, and the magnificent life of a generation of ninja gods came to an end. Therefore, it is better to change shorts once a day! Do you hear me clearly? Readers in front of the screen!
"
"Are you talking about this?!" Kakashi started the crazy complaining mode: "Why did the last topic return to the shorts that need to be changed every day! By the way, the first generation adults are not like that! And Obito, why are you shaking? Yes.
Are you worried that you will die because you don't change it every day? Why do you believe it? Are you a fool?"
"Teacher, Brother Gintoki, I'm in a hurry so I'll go back first..."
After saying that, Obito turned around tremblingly, and made up his mind in his mind that from now on, he must change his shorts every day to avoid repeating the mistakes of the first generation of adults!
"Gintoki, let's stop talking about the first generation, and don't talk about it again in the future."
Minato coughed twice to remind him that arranging for the Shodai-sama was a serious crime in Konoha. After hearing this, the villagers' respect for the Shodai-sama would weaken.
That's what Gintoki said, there are no outsiders here. If any of these two conditions are not met, even Minato can't open up the door.
"Hi hi~"
Gintoki waved his hand perfunctorily, actually feeling disgusted with Konoha's approach of only promoting the glorious side of Hokage.
Whether inside or outside the village, as long as some celebrities in Konoha and Hokage are mentioned, there are basically only positive rumors.
The negative rumors don’t exist at all!
Of course, Gintoki is an exception. When people in the village mention Gintoki, what they think of is not the hero ShiroYasha, but the loser ninja wearing only shorts who often sees at the entrance of the casino.
Scratching his head, Gintoki continued: "But, just like idols, they do have a glamorous side, but if you only focus on the glamorous side, there will be problems. You must know that they also pick their noses in private.
, and also go to the toilet.
Isn't it the same for Naruto and heroes in a sense? Only leaving the bright side of their achievements in the history books will lead to bigger problems. Those who deceive reality will only suffer the consequences in the end.
cheat."
Minato, who barely understood, asked: "Does it mean that all the merits and demerits must be left in the history books? If you only have merit, you will not be able to learn from those mistakes, and it will easily lead to some kind of radical personality worship."
Gintoki also admired Minato's quick thinking, but kept a calm expression on his face, saying: "Who knows, this kind of thing has nothing to do with ordinary ninjas like us, we just need to remember to change our shorts once a day.
"
"It is indeed a profound historical lesson." Obito nodded and took over the words, his expression serious and serious.
Looking at Obito who appeared suddenly, Kakashi was silent and complained again: "When did you come back? Have you changed it already? And why are you the one to sum it up? The lesson of history is that shorts need to be changed every day? This
