Chapter 27 The Third Hokage specifically calls for Uchiha Hiko!

"Fugaku, I heard that Uchiha Hiko's health has improved and he has returned to his post in the police department."

Although he was puzzled, Fugaku still answered according to the words he had prepared in advance:

"Yes, Hokage, Yan has recovered very well. Although the blood disease is terrible, the family has gained some experience in treating blood diseases over the years. In addition, Yan's discomfort was discovered in advance, and after treatment, he has improved a lot."

"That's it."

The Third Hokage nodded as if he believed it, but as to how much he believed it, perhaps only he himself knew.

According to the surveillance and investigation of the Anbu, Yan didn't even leave his house during his rest period, let alone go to Konoha Hospital for treatment. As for the internal treatment of Uchiha...

No one, not even three generations or a single punctuation mark, would believe such words.

If the Uchiha really had a way to cure the blood disease, there wouldn't be a situation where so many of their clansmen kept dying from the disease.

"Fugaku."

Sitting up straight, with his hands on the desk, the Third Hokage stated his purpose:

"Some problems occurred in Daming Prefecture this year, resulting in a delay in the funding for the village. I need to go to Daming Prefecture in person, so I hope the Ministry of Police can send a team to accompany me to Daming Prefecture. Who do you think would be the most suitable person to send?"

"Going to Damingfu?"

This was something Fugaku never expected.

Because it is not Uchiha's turn to take on this kind of mission, as it is almost always monopolized by the Anbu. Besides, the top leaders will not trust Uchiha.

Asking the Uchiha to transfer a team from the police department to protect the Hokage was simply a fantasy.

The Third Hokage made the impossible possible.

What exactly does Hokage want to express?

Suspicious in his heart, Fugaku still answered truthfully:

"Hokage-sama, within the family, besides me and a few elders, there are also some clan members working in the police department. I think Shisui is a more suitable candidate, but he has been transferred out of the police department."

"Where's Uchiha Hiko?"

The Third Hokage looked at Fugaku and calmly said Yan's name.

Fugaku's heart skipped a beat.

Wow, love is waiting here!

Is it to target Yan, or to verify that Yan has the blood disease?

Fugaku quickly regained his consciousness and said with some embarrassment:

"Hokage-sama, Yan's personal strength is among the best in the family, but his body has just recovered, and I am afraid he can't bear this heavy responsibility."

Fugaku didn't want Yan to come into contact with the Third Hokage at all.

Unfortunately, the Third Hokage refused to do so.

He showed a kind and approachable smile and said:

"Fugaku, I do believe him. After all, Yan is a kid who has recently surpassed the two geniuses Shisui and Itachi. I don't think it will be difficult for him, right?"

I'm really putting myself in a difficult position. You've already called me out by name and said something to this extent. How can I refuse?

Do I have the right to refuse?

Without giving Fugaku a chance to continue to refuse, the Third Hokage made the final decision:

"If there is no problem, then notify him to get ready and gather outside the village entrance at 2 pm."

The Hokage going out is not a big deal, but it can't be made into a big fuss either.

"Yes."

Things have come to this point, Fugaku can only accept it.

He left the Hokage office building depressed and came to the police department with a lot on his mind. He went to Yan's office in person and told him about this matter.

"I?"

"Protect the Hokage as he heads to the Daimyo's mansion?"

Yan's reaction was the same as Fugaku had guessed, he was very surprised and looked incredulous.

Isn't this the job of the Anbu?

What does this old guy, the Third Hokage, want to do?

"Yes."

Fugaku felt bad, but he had no choice but to comfort Yan:

"Maybe it's just a normal protection mission. You should prepare yourself and take two people with you. You can choose the team members yourself. The team you lead is only responsible for the visible part. The real protection for Hokage-sama must be the Anbu. Besides, the strength of Hokage-sama should not be underestimated."

Speechless!

Very speechless!!

I'm so speechless!!!

Apart from speechless, Yan really couldn't find any adjective to describe his mood at the moment.

"Gather outside the village entrance at 2pm. The Hokage-sama will be waiting for you there. Don't miss the time."

After carefully reminding Yan again and again to be careful and on guard, Fugaku left with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Unlike the depressed Yan, Quan was as happy as a joyful bird and very excited when he learned that the team would undertake the important task of protecting the Third Hokage as he went to the Daimyo Mansion.

Sure enough, people who have never been hit by reality have simple thoughts.

After some consideration, Yan decided to take Quan and Feng with him. As for Chiyan and the others, it would be better for them to stay in the police department.

Although Uchiha Feng couldn't say a word for a long time, at least he was steady. As for Quan...just use her as a personal secretary. Yan really couldn't expect her to do anything big.

After changing clothes and organizing equipment, Yan set off with his men.

As for the forehead protector...do people working in the police department need to wear that thing?

Although Kakashi did not understand why the Third Hokage insisted on mobilizing a police force team for protection, he still diligently led the team and spread them around to protect the Third Hokage in secret.

Outside the village, on the small road leading to the Daimyo Prefecture, the Third Hokage stood on the side of the road, a pipe in his mouth, enjoying the pleasure of puffing out smoke.

A complete chain smoker.

After complaining in his heart, Yan led his men forward:

"Hokage-sama, we can leave now."

"Ah."

The Third Hokage smiled kindly and nodded, and as he walked he did not forget to care about Yan's health:

"I heard that your health has improved a lot and your condition is under control?"

"Yes, because the family has a lot of experience in treating blood disease, so it is well controlled."

Yan tried hard to act more indifferent, reduced his conversations with the Third Hokage, and observed everything around him attentively, behaving very diligently.

Unfortunately, the Third Hokage kept chattering in his ear.

"When I saw you, I felt like I saw my past self. At that time, I was just like you, full of youthful vigor."

Yan: “….”

I beg you to shut up, please. Can you stop talking so much?

It turns out that when you don't want to talk to someone, but they keep nagging in your ear, it's really painful.

At this moment, Yan has been enduring it, and Uchiha Feng is the one who feels the same as him.

This guy is usually a silent person. He would never speak unless he can take action.

He just happened to run into the Third Hokage who kept on nagging.

This is going to be a tough one.
