Chapter 141 I refuse
Hokage Building.
The Sandaime looked at the clock on the wall, lost in thought.
He remembered that he gave the order at 6:30 in the evening, so why didn’t Haneda and Kakashi come?
Didn't the Anbu ninja who was sent over to deliver the order say that they had already received the message?
Until the hour hand slowly points to nine o'clock.
Haneda walked slowly to the Hokage Building, and coincidentally Kakashi also arrived at this time.
"Kakashi, were you also recruited by the Hokage?"
"Yeah. Training with Minato-sensei."
"Jiraiya and Lady Tsunade are here too. Lady Tsunade suggested that I don't need to go and not delay my training."
"But I felt it was not a good idea to do so, so I came here after I finished my training."
Kakashi nodded. He was also surprised to meet Haneda.
Listening to Tsunade's advice, Haneda couldn't help but twitch his lips, thinking that he was still too conservative.
"Let's go, Kakashi. You should be joining the ANBU like me, right?"
Kakashi did not deny it, and the two of them stopped talking tacitly when they walked into the Hokage building.
When they arrived at the Sandaime's office, Haneda and Kakashi knocked on the door and said:
"Hokage-sama."
The Sandaime heard the slightly immature voice and knew that Haneda and Kakashi had arrived. He smiled kindly and said:
"Is that Haneda and Kakashi? Come in."
Seeing the two of them breathing steadily and not looking anxious, the Sandaime couldn't help but ask:
"Do you have something urgent to do? You are here very late."
"Yeah~ I lost my way in life." Haneda sighed.
"I'm the same as Haneda," Kakashi agreed.
"Lord Hokage, you won't blame us, right?" Haneda said again.
The Sandaime listened to Haneda and Kakashi singing the same tune, and the kind smile that was always on his face stiffened a little.
He smiled and said:
"Of course not. When you are young, you always think about a lot of things. As long as you are on the right path, you will not get lost."
After saying that, the Sandaime waved his hand.
Two ANBU members came in from behind the door carrying two boxes.
Two boxes were placed in front of Haneda and Kakashi respectively. When they were opened, a mask and an Anbu uniform appeared before them.
"You have been thinking about joining the Anbu all this time, right?"
"What do Kenji and Sakumo say? Haneda, Kakashi, what do you think?"
The Sandaime said confidently.
He saw through the Uchiha clan leader and Sakumo very well.
The former has always wanted to enter the upper echelons of Konoha and interfere in the affairs of the village.
The latter will not refuse anything that is important to the village.
There is no reason for Haneda and Kakashi to refuse this assignment from the Anbu!
"I refuse, Hokage-sama." Haneda closed the box without any hesitation.
"I'm the same as Haneda." Kakashi also closed the box and said.
He had no objection at first, but when he saw Haneda refuse, he followed suit.
???
The Sandaime's eyes flashed with surprise.
Being in the Anbu isn't a bad job at all. It has many benefits and perks, and it also allows you to get in touch with the village's secrets.
In the end, both Haneda and Kakashi refused!
Didn't Kenji and Sakumo tell them the importance of ANBU? !
Haneda was too lazy to explain and just stood there quietly. Kakashi couldn't find a reason to explain and just stood there with Haneda.
For a moment, the office fell silent.
Suddenly, a figure rushed in.
It's Asuma!
"Old man! Is this how you treat your son's savior, Brother Haneda?"
"Brother Haneda is a hero of Konoha after all, and so is Kakashi, who is recognized by Brother Haneda!"
Asuma carried a chair and moved behind Haneda, then smiled at Haneda.
"Brother Haneda! Sit down!"
"Kakashi, go move the chair yourself."
Asuma looked up at the swivel chair in front of him. He originally wanted to move the one the old man was sitting on.
Unfortunately, doing so would be disadvantageous to Brother Haneda, so he gave up the idea.
But sooner or later this position will belong to Brother Haneda!
The Sandaime was already furious when he saw his rebellious son.
If Haneda and Kakashi were not there, they would have drawn out the seven wolves to give Asuma a complete childhood.
"Asuma, I'm discussing important matters with Haneda and Kakashi." The Sandaime said through gritted teeth.
Asma said indifferently:
"Didn't Brother Haneda and Kakashi both refuse?"
"Old man, you don't want to force others to agree, do you?"
"Are you trying to emulate the naturally evil old man Danzo from the Shimura clan?"
When the Sandaime heard his own rebellious son slandering Danzo, he could not help but yell:
"That's your Uncle Danzo! Not some old ghost who is born evil!!"
Asuma still smiled indifferently:
"Whatever you say, an old ghost who has done so many bad and stupid things will never be recognized by me, Asuma Sarutobi!"
Haneda, who was standing nearby watching the show, could hardly suppress the smile.
The Shimura clan's inherently evil old ghost Danzo...
Who came up with this?
But Haneda couldn't just let Asuma be a filial son alone, so he said:
"Hokage-sama, Asuma is right. The Root has indeed done a lot of bad things that are detrimental to the village."
"for example……"
Haneda's tone grew colder, but he didn't continue.
And the Sandaime also knew what Haneda wanted to say.
He took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said:
"The roots buried in darkness are never understood by the world."
"Where there is light, there is bound to be darkness."
"Many things cannot be put on the table. After a year of ninja life, you should understand this, right, Haneda?"
Haneda did not deny it, but he had already put Danzo on his kill list.
No matter how you look at it, whether from a righteous perspective or a personal perspective, the darkness that Danzo carries has corrupted Konoha.
Only by eradicating the rotten parts can Konoha regain its vitality.
"Anbu, I have no interest in joining."
“If I have to choose between light and darkness, I would rather stand in the sun.”
Kakashi looked at Haneda, thought for a moment and said:
"Like Haneda, I would rather stand in the sun."
In the end, the Sandaime reluctantly agreed, considering Haneda and Kakashi's military achievements, strength, and respective backgrounds.
He began to think about other ways to reward Haneda and Kakashi.
But little did they know, Haneda and Kakashi didn't care at all.
…………
When word of the office conversation reached the Root, Danzo flew into a rage.
He had been pleased that Haneda and Kakashi refused to join the ANBU.
But when he heard Hiruzen's son actually call him the Shimura clan's inherently evil old ghost Danzo...
Danzo couldn't help but slam the stone table and shouted angrily:
"Hiruzen! Is this what you think you are trying to win over?"
"I assigned my son to Uchiha Haneda and Sakumo's team, and the result is..."
"In the end, even his own son was rebelled against by that inherently evil Uchiha brat!"
"I knew that sooner or later you would regret your stupid decision!!"
