Chapter 104: Master Wood Release!
The next day, early morning.
According to the agreement with Sakumo and others, Haneda arrived in front of the Hokage Building early.
At this time, in front of the Hokage Building, Asuma and Hong were standing not far away waiting for him.
Noticing Haneda approaching, Asuma immediately stepped forward and greeted him:
"Brother Haneda!"
"It's Asuma." Haneda knew who the person was when he heard the familiar voice.
He looked at Asma and found that Asma's face was bruised, as if he had been beaten.
But it seems that Asuma doesn't care about this.
"Are you hurt on your face?" Haneda asked with concern.
"Yeah! Yesterday I spoke up for Brother Haneda and got scolded by the old man, but well..."
"I think it's worth it. You're right. The old man is just too indulgent towards that old devil Danzo."
Asuma spoke with a somewhat nonchalant tone. He recalled what Sakumo had said and said,
"Let's go first, Brother Haneda. Sensei Sakumo said that he doesn't need the ninjutsu in the Book of Sealing."
"He said that if you want anything, just take it in his name. He has to practice swordplay with Kakashi these days."
"I see..." Haneda thought that Uncle Sakumo asked Asuma to tell him that he must be embarrassed to say it to his face.
It’s been quite interesting practicing sword skills with Kakashi these days.
This is probably what Kakashi himself meant...
Maybe Kakashi wanted to make a temporary breakthrough and fight with him in the next Chunin Exam.
Haneda couldn't help but smile.
When he came to his senses, he said to Asuma, "How about I help you heal your wounds first, then go in?"
"No, no, it's too much trouble for Brother Haneda..."
Asuma declined embarrassedly, but Haneda had already condensed the yang attribute chakra in his hands.
"It won't be long." Haneda put his right hand on Asuma's face.
After a while, Asuma's bruised face returned to normal.
"Let's go and read the Sealed Book." Haneda retracted his right hand and said with a smile.
…………
As he entered the Hokage Building, Haneda had a vague feeling that many ninjas hidden in the Anbu were watching him and Asuma and the others.
From time to time, there were malicious glances sweeping by, seemingly from the Root Ninjas.
It wasn't until he stepped into the Hokage's office that the surveillance eyes faded a lot.
Da da da……
After a knock on the door, it was Haneda and Hong who greeted them.
"Hokage-sama."
"It's Haneda and Hong, come in first."
The Sandaime's words came through, and Haneda and the other two pushed the door open and walked in.
"Asuma, you're here too." The Sandaime smiled, but Asuma ignored him.
Then, the Sandaime turned his gaze towards Haneda and Hong and asked with a smile:
"Haneda, you came to see the Book of Seals with Hong, right?"
"Why didn't Sakumo come?"
"Uncle Sakumo was delayed by something." Haneda said politely and got down to business.
"Hokage-sama, we'll read the Book of Sealing today, okay?"
"No problem, this is the agreed condition."
The Sandaime gave a hidden reminder.
After what happened yesterday, he discovered that Haneda's mind was definitely not as simple as his age would suggest.
Even five years ago, Haneda seemed to have understood the political trade-offs.
But now he is beginning to show his talent relying on his strength and background.
The Sandaime looked at Haneda deeply, then called over an Anbu ninja and gave him a few instructions.
Soon, two ANBU ninjas walked in.
One of them was carrying a large scroll that was almost as tall as Haneda, and the other was holding a normal-sized scroll.
The large scroll was finally lifted in front of Haneda, and it was the Book of Seals.
The other scroll is the catalog of the Sealed Book, which is what Haneda and Kakashi were looking at last time.
"Are you going to read it here, Lord Hokage?" Haneda asked, looking at the thick sealed book on the ground.
"Find a seat and sit down and watch it. You can watch it until tomorrow morning if you want."
The Sandaime smiled kindly.
After that, he chatted with Hong for a few more words, then smoked his pipe and went back to work.
The office returned to silence.
Haneda had read the catalog of the Sealed Book five years ago, and at that time he was very envious of the Wood Release Ninjutsu left by Hashirama.
Like the arrival of the flower tree world, it attacks over a very large area and comes with extremely strong control effects.
For example, in the technique of wooden man, you don’t need a kaleidoscope to fly a Gundam.
Like Zhen Qianqian Hands, he can grasp the powerful Nine-Tailed Fox with one hand.
And now, the dream has come true!
Haneda opened the Three-magatama Sharingan and copied and pasted the contents of the Sealed Book into his brain without any concealment.
He read it very quickly, and in order to avoid the suspicion of the Sandaime, he scanned it from beginning to end.
brush brush...
The sound of flipping scrolls continued to be heard.
After hearing the noise coming from Haneda, the Sandaime finished processing a document and looked in the direction of Haneda.
But when he saw the Three-magatama Sharingan staring at the Book of Seals, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Although the Sandaime knew that Haneda would definitely use some special means to remember the contents of the Sealed Book.
But...
It's not a good idea to open the Sharingan and copy right in front of him...
The Sandaime took a silent puff on his pipe, thinking of his own purpose in reconciling with the Uchiha, and did not stop Haneda.
Anyway, there is only one forbidden technique of the teacher that is more useful to Uchiha, and that is the Darkness Walking Technique.
And Haneda already has it.
As for the Shodaime's Wood Release, no one in the entire Konoha can learn it, let alone the Uchiha!
The Sandaime said that it was fine for Haneda to remember it, as long as it was not passed on to other villages.
The Three-magatama Sharingan can copy ninjutsu very quickly, and one can basically remember the content after just one glance.
It only took half an hour to completely memorize the Sealed Book.
As Haneda expected, there was still no Impure World Reincarnation in this sealed book. There was no doubt that the book in front of him was another fake prepared by the Third Hokage.
After closing the heavy sealed book, Haneda looked up and around.
Asuma and Kurenai had already left, but the Sandaime was still attending to official business.
However, the Sandaime seemed to notice Haneda's gaze, and stopped writing, looking at Haneda:
"finish watching?"
"Hokage-sama, I've seen it."
The Sandaime remembered a piece of official business he had handled earlier, put down his pipe, shook it a few times, and then said:
"Recently, Sunagakure agreed to jointly hold the Chunin Exams with Konoha. The location will be in Konoha."
"Sagakure hasn't held a joint event with Konoha for more than ten years. It seems that they want to ease the relationship with Konoha."
"Haneda, for the sake of the village and the peace of the ninja world, this Chunin Exam is crucial."
"I need you to win this Chunin Exam beautifully, and at the same time, be careful to appease the ninjas in Sunagakure."
"Sunagakure?" When Haneda heard that Sunagakure was going to take part in Konoha's Chunin Exam, he thought of that period with Naruto.
This made him inexplicably feel that there seemed to be some conspiracy behind this Chunin Exam.
You know, every time Konoha holds the Chunin Exam, it will invite the other four major ninja villages to participate.
But it was only during the reigns of Hashirama and Tobirama that the four great powers sent representatives to participate.
And now Sunagakure, which is confronting Konoha in the Rain Country, has actually agreed to jointly host the Chunin Exam.
Unprecedented!
"I will try my best, Hokage-sama." Haneda said modestly.
With his strength, sweeping the entire Chunin Exam is no problem at all.
This was a boring journey of bullying, but the thought of possibly meeting Kakashi made Haneda excited again.
