Chapter 33 Hokage Guards
Damingfu? Princess? Grants?
Do you think I could get any information from a young princess?
Also, does the Daimyo dare not allocate funds to Konoha?
Haneda was extremely skeptical of the reasons given by the Sandaime.
He thought more about the political purpose of the third generation.
For example, by allowing himself, a talented Uchiha boy, to get in touch with important village affairs, he tried to win over the Uchiha clan.
You know, as a child he couldn't take part in any government affairs, but the fact that he could go implied a lot of things.
Of course, his own talent was also worthy of three generations of attention.
Haneda responded quickly.
His face flushed slightly, and he said excitedly:
"Hokage-sama! Can I, can I, really do this?!"
"You are capable enough for the job, and there is no other child in the village who can replace you." The Sandaime said softly.
"But... Kakashi can do it too! Hokage-sama, I'm really not confident about this mission, how about taking Kakashi with you?"
"Kakashi?" The Sandaime nodded, thinking that Sakumo's attitude towards him had become much colder recently.
When trying to win over the Uchiha, it wouldn't have much impact if I also won over Sakumo...
Haneda scratched the back of his head and said uncomfortably: "Hokage-sama, can I pull one more person? Just one!"
"Your elders?" Upon hearing this, the Sandaime thought of the Uchiha people first.
"No, he's the father of a friend of mine, his name is Might Dai." Haneda shook his head.
"Might Guy, there's no such person among the Jonins, nor among the Chunins..." the Sandaime muttered to himself.
At this time, Haneda's voice came again, with a hint of pleading.
"Uncle Dai has been a Genin for many years. He is often laughed at by other ninjas and is nicknamed the Ten Thousand Year Genin. I want to help him, Hokage!"
"I see..." The Sandaime thought for a moment and agreed.
"Okay, let him temporarily join the Hokage Guard and be responsible for my safety."
To the Sandaime, bringing another non-Uchiha Genin along wouldn't be a big deal.
And Haneda did it for his friends, his companions.
He had just finished educating the Will of Fire, and it would not be good if he refused.
Coupled with Haneda's pleading, in order to win over this talented young man, it would be even more impossible to refuse.
As for why Haneda wanted to drag Kakashi and Dai into the water, there were three purposes.
One is for political purposes.
Behind Kakashi stood Konoha White Fang. Judging from the way he got along with Kakashi, the Sandaime could naturally see the relationship between the two.
This means that behind Haneda is not only the Uchiha clan, but also Hatake Sakumo.
The Sandaime had to include Sakumo in his considerations as well.
This is a layer of insurance.
The second is his own safety.
Who knows if the 5.5th generation Nabekage will attack him when he leaves the village.
That Dark Ninja did a lot of stupid things like this.
The people in this village who were bullied included Shisui, Sasuke, one against seven, and Kabuto Yakushi...
The most typical example of making enemies outside the village is Nagato and Konan from the Akatsuki organization...
These are all Kage-level or super-Kage-level warriors. Danzo has done all kinds of stupid things.
And with Dai, a strong man who can open eight gates, around, he is not afraid of any attack.
As for the third one, it is to improve favorability.
For the sake of the Eight Gates, there is nothing much to say about getting some benefits for Uncle Dai.
…………
After that, the Sandaime didn't talk much with Haneda. He just talked about campus life and let Haneda go.
Walking out of the Hokage building, even the air smelled much sweeter.
It is too exhausting to fight against the old fox of the Third Hokage. You need to organize your words all the time and guess his thoughts from his words.
"Uncle Dai, I have a good story and a bad story to tell you. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Haneda said with a smile to Dai who was standing in front of the Hokage building.
"Good news and bad news?" Dai stopped doing push-ups and looked up at Haneda in confusion.
"Let's hear the bad news first."
"The bad news is that you may not be able to see Gai these next few days. You will be away from Konoha for a while." Haneda said with a smile.
"What's the good news?" Dai looked at the smile on Haneda's face and suddenly became more confused.
Could it be that the Hokage wants to assign me a task?
But why not just inform yourself?
"The good news is..." Haneda paused here deliberately and gave his blessing happily.
"Uncle Dai, you've been selected to join the Hokage Guard!"
"The Hokage's mission letter will be issued to you soon!"
"Congratulations, Uncle Dai!!"
"What?! The Hokage Guards!!!"
Dai was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter, and then he lowered his head and cried silently.
He has been a Genin for more than ten years since he graduated from the Ninja Academy. Every time he carries out a mission, it is a D-level mission such as helping others carry things or catching kittens.
Whenever he was seen by his former classmates and colleagues, he would inevitably be laughed at by the ten-thousand-year-old Genin.
Now, he was actually going to be selected into the Hokage Guard to protect the safety of the Hokage.
This gap is too big.
It was so big that he felt like he was dreaming and didn't want to wake up.
But soon, Dai realized a problem, why was he, a ten thousand year old Genin, chosen to join the Hokage Guard?
You know, the ninjas serving as the Hokage's guards are at least special jonins.
And he was just a Genin who had only carried out a few C-rank missions.
Thinking of this, Dai immediately looked at Haneda:
"It was you, Haneda, who recommended me to the Hokage, right?"
Haneda nodded slightly:
"Uncle Dai, your strength is definitely not that of a Genin. I saw it when you wanted to help me before."
"I feel that with your strength and talent, you shouldn't be buried among the Genin and perform those low-level and tedious D-rank missions."
"You should have a better stage to realize your ambitions, Uncle Dai."
Suddenly, a figure wearing a bird mask jumped down from the Hokage Building.
He stopped in front of Dai and handed him a scroll:
"This is the appointment letter issued by the Hokage himself, Might Dai, please check for the details yourself."
After that, he handed Haneda another scroll:
"Gather at Training Ground No. 13 in the Death Forest at a.m. tomorrow. Don't be late."
After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in front of Haneda and the other man, and he jumped onto a roof and left into the distance.
After the bird-masked ninja left, Dai couldn't wait to unfold the scroll.
The five big words "Hokage Guards" made him so excited that he shed tears again, and the heavy stone in his heart fell completely.
Dai hugged Haneda, happy, excited, and said with emotion:
"Haneda, I really don't know how to thank you..."
The breeze blew gently and the setting sun fell at the end of the street.
The setting sun shone on Dai's sturdy body, creating tiny starlight.
