Chapter 32 Meeting the Third Generation, Mission?
"Uchiha Haneda, I am a ninja affiliated with the Anbu, and the Hokage is looking for you."
The bird-masked ninja said indifferently.
When he saw the mask, Haneda immediately thought of the ANBU and the Root.
He was not sure which camp the other party belonged to.
If the other party is a root, following him will cause big trouble...
Haneda probed, "What do you want from me, Hokage-sama? I'm just an ordinary Uchiha kid."
"I don't know, just come with me." The bird-masked ninja's tone didn't change at all, and he still had no emotion.
This made Haneda even more hesitant.
"Then can I go with Uncle Dai?" Haneda tested again.
"Hokage-sama only requires one of you," the bird-masked ninja said impatiently.
"It's okay, Uncle Dai, just take me to the entrance of the Hokage Building."
Hearing this, the bird-masked ninja hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
Haneda then relaxed as well.
With Uncle Dai around, no matter whether they are from the Anbu or the Root, anyone who dares to kidnap someone in front of him is seeking death.
Haven’t you seen that the Seven Mist Ninjas have all been kicked into the Three Lucky Treasures in the past few years?
Pi Wa Ju Zang was so scared that he asked everyone he met if they knew a guy named Dai.
It really scares me psychologically...
Haneda was no longer worried. He pulled Dai's hand and said with a smile, "Uncle Dai, can you accompany me for a walk? Thank you very much."
"Okay." Although Dai was puzzled as to why Haneda insisted on him following him, he did not refuse considering his relationship with Kai.
Watching Haneda and the others leave, Obito immediately started cursing.
"Damn Haneda, you abandoned me again!"
"I was actually summoned by the Hokage-sama. I'm so pissed off!!"
After cursing inwardly for a while, Obito suddenly thought of something, clenched his fists, and looked towards the Hokage Rock.
"One day, I, Uchiha Obito, will become Hokage, and I will summon that bastard Haneda into my office every day!!!"
Unlike Obito, Gai looked a little melancholy.
He watched the two people who had been kicked down and hypnotized by Haneda's illusion get up and run away in fear.
During this process, the two Chunins didn't even dare to look at them, let alone curse them.
What they feared was not only Haneda's strength, but more the masked man who claimed to be an Anbu ninja.
The Anbu are under the command of the Hokage.
"If I had Haneda's talent and ability, I would be able to gain the attention of the Hokage and protect my father's youth..."
Kai stared at Haneda's receding figure and muttered to himself.
Even when faced with ridicule, he always responded with a smile and a thumbs up.
But he could never forget the day when he was bullied, nor could he forget those ninjas mocking his father as a "ten thousand year old Genin".
…………
Hokage Building, the Sandaime's office.
The bird-masked ninja led Haneda to the office and knocked on the door:
"Hokage-sama, Uchiha Haneda is here."
"It's Aoki and Haneda, come in."
A kind, gentle voice came from the office.
Qingniao then led Haneda into the office.
Inside, the Sandaime sat on a swivel chair, the table in front of him was piled with documents as high as a mountain.
When Haneda and the others walked in, the Sandaime was still processing documents while smoking his pipe, and he looked very busy.
Only after Haneda stood up and the blue bird disappeared did the Sandaime put down the pen and documents in his hand and look at Haneda in front of him.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Haneda." The Sandaime put down his pipe and said with a smile.
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."
"Hokage-sama is very busy with his work, deciding all the important matters of the village. I am sorry to trouble you to take the time to see me."
Haneda said, pretending to be flattered.
Although he didn't know what the Third Generation's old master was planning, he had to show his basic attitude.
Seeing this, the Sandaime nodded secretly, very satisfied with Haneda's attitude.
It was worth it that he specially staged a scene just to express his importance to Haneda.
"Haneda, I heard a lot about your performance in the Ninja School from Takakura Bunta."
"I heard that you have learned the B-rank Ninjutsu Shadow Clone Technique and have skipped many classes, is that right?"
The Sandaime said this in a somewhat casual tone with a amiable smile on his face.
The more a person always has a smile on his face, the harder it is to see what he is thinking.
Haneda couldn't figure out the Sandaime's thoughts, so he just told the truth:
"Yeah. What is taught in school is too boring, so it's better not to go. As for the Shadow Clone, it was given to me by the clan leader. I spent some time to learn it."
Haneda was telling the truth, but of course he also hid a lot of information.
For example, his relationship with the clan leader, and why the clan leader gave him a shadow clone.
"That's it..."
Seeing that Haneda didn't seem to be lying, the Sandaime took a puff of his cigarette and smiled.
"Haneda, your theory score is very poor. I looked at your last test paper. You didn't write much, and your attitude was a little bit improper..."
Having said that, the Sandaime looked into Haneda's eyes and asked:
"Do you remember the essay for the exam?"
Hearing this, Haneda suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He wrote a few lines during the exam and then fell asleep, so how could he know all this?
"Hokage-sama, the exam was so boring that I fell asleep on the table..." Haneda explained in a low voice.
cough cough...
The Sandaime couldn't hold back when he heard this honest answer.
However, he quickly adjusted his attitude and said:
"That is an essay on the understanding of the Will of Fire."
"You didn't write it at the time. I'm curious about what the Will of Fire in your heart is like?"
"Will of Fire?" After hearing this, Haneda finally understood the purpose of the Third Hokage, Old Deng.
He wanted to win him over and make him a thug or spy for the Hokage's faction like Shisui and One on Seven.
For Haneda, who had attended nine years of compulsory education, there were too many formulas and routines to answer this kind of question.
He replied without hesitation:
"Where the leaves dance, the fire will live. The flames will illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout..."
Haneda recited a famous poem of Konoha on the spot, and then said:
"The will of fire in my heart is for my companions, for the village, for my family, for everyone, and for sacrificing myself to pass on to the next generation."
Although Haneda's words were empty and pretentious, the Sandaime was very satisfied after listening to them.
Haneda's words basically encompass the core idea of the Will of Fire, which is the spirit of village love and selfless dedication based on bonds.
He recognized this will of fire.
The Sandaime took a puff of his cigarette and slowly blew out smoke rings.
As the smoke cleared, he made his decision.
"It would be great if everyone in the village had the same awareness as you, Haneda." The Sandaime suddenly sighed.
After saying that, he picked up a document on the table.
The document was about the Fire Country Daimyo inviting the Third Hokage to visit the Daimyo's mansion.
This document involves the whereabouts of the Hokage. It is a confidential document and very important.
But the Sandaime still let Haneda look at him.
"The Fire Country Daimyo has a young daughter whom the Daimyo loves very much."
"Haneda, you are about the same age as her, which makes you perfect for approaching this princess."
"I hope you will agree to go with me to the Daimyo's Mansion to find out from the princess the attitude of the Daimyo's Mansion regarding the allocation of funds to Konoha this year."
