Chapter 2173 Invitation (4000 words)

Haneda...Ichiyo!

The Haneda clan...

Never heard of this family...

Listening to the boy's answer in front of him, Gaara's mind automatically flashed a series of families that have been instilled since childhood, whether they are declining, have been determined to be completely destroyed, or are still active in the ninja world at this stage.

However, the information network of the Kingdom of the Wind has been operating in this part of the major families of the ninja world for many years, but there is no record about the so-called Haneda family.

But if it is not from any famous family, if this Haneda Ichiyo is just an ordinary person, it is almost impossible for him to be a ninja in a small ninja village like Caoyin Village.

Although Cao Yin Village is a ninja who likes to study the ninjutsu of other ninja villages, after years of accumulation, it can be regarded as a lot of ninjutsu, and has also developed some unique ninjutsu for other ninjutsu villages. In terms of technical resources, it is also quite rich.

It's just that these ninjutsu, compared to Da Ninjutsu, may be a bit eye-catching in quantity, but in terms of quality, they are not flattering.

None of the ninjutsu systems that are close to the core of the Great Ninja Village have been obtained. At the same time, there is no ninjutsu that is powerful enough. The village is troubled.

However, it does not constitute a chance of winning or losing. It belongs to the kind that can cause trouble, but it cannot hinder the layout of Daren Village in battle.

Looking at it now, it is a force that cannot be ignored, but it is not enough to influence the decision-making of Daren Village.

It is a trouble on the opposite side, but it is just a big help on one's own side.

And such resources, unless this Haneda Ichiyo has a strong bloodline, such as a powerful blood successor limit, especially the blood succession limit in terms of body, it is unlikely to cultivate a boy with Haneda Ichiyo's strength Ninja gone.

If, in front of Gaara, there was a young man in his twenties or nearly thirties standing at this moment, Gaara would not care too much about having this strength.

However, if there are young ninjas of such strength in Xiaonin Village, we must pay attention to them.

If it is said that his interest in Uchiha Sasuke is because the other party is a Uchiha clan with the strength of a genius, and he wants to compete with Uchiha Sasuke, then he is more interested in the Haneda Ichiba in front of him. fear.

After all, he came to Konoha this time with a bigger goal.

Moreover, in the plan of this goal, they have received reliable news. This goal, this plan, they will inevitably face a huge obstacle. If this obstacle cannot be overcome here, then they will fall short .

They don't have the option of falling short.

Therefore, here, he must pay more attention to this unreasonable young genius.

He couldn't help being afraid!

Ichiba Haneda...

It always feels like things are getting more and more interesting!

After getting the name of the mysterious boy in front of him, such a thought flashed through Uchiha Sasuke's mind.

For him, what he sees is just a rising star, he can test his own strength, and he doesn't think as much as Gaara.

Because of this, at this moment, he only felt the vigorous fighting spirit and didn't think much about it.

"Let's go, Kankuro, Temari."

And at this moment, Gaara, who didn't find any information from Haneda Ichiyo's name, didn't intend to stay for a long time, turned around, greeted him, and left first.

Hearing this, Kankuro behind him and the beautiful girl with four braids hurriedly followed, and after a while, they had already bypassed the turning and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Konohamaru, do I look weak?"

But at this time, the faint voice of the blond boy came weakly from behind Sasuke Uchiha.

At this moment, the blond-haired and blue-eyed boy was squatting with Konoha Maru, with a gloomy and battered look on his face, and he emphasized with tears in his mouth, seeking comfort from Konoha Maru.

"Compared to Brother Sasuke, he's still weaker..."

However, Konohamaru is also a straightforward boy, and replied honestly, although his face is full of comfort, but at this time, this sentence, this comforting color, is more suitable for this blond boy. Pitiful.

"Ahhh! Sasuke, I will not lose to you!"

But when he heard his loyal younger brother say such words, the blond boy with blue eyes was full of anger, and he jumped up violently, pointing at Uchiha Sasuke's back and yelling.

"What are you doing all of a sudden?"

Facing the yelling of the blond boy, Sasuke Uchiha looked helpless, looked at his friend behind him, and said so.

"Um?"

And watching the series of actions of these two people, the mysterious boy named Haneda Ichiyo who had been hiding in the shadow of the tree for some time, unconsciously had an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes seemed to flash A bit of reminiscence.

Then, his complexion changed slightly, and he glanced up without a trace.

But during this glimpse, there was a glimpse of the tree trunk, where Uchiha Sasuke was originally, three ninjas did not know when, and there were four ninjas sitting three times.

These three ninjas are all foreheads with music symbols.

Tonin?

Um……

They're all dangerous guys...

And at this moment, a slight light flashed in the boy's eyes.

However, the light quickly disappeared in the depths of his dark eyes. At the same time, as the light disappeared, his figure seemed to slowly begin to merge with the darkness. people.

"What do you think?"

At this time, the four ninjas on the branches obviously did not notice that there was still a person standing in the shadow under their feet. At this time, they were looking at Sasuke Uchiha and the blond boy below. A ninja with half of his head covered in bandages and only one left eye exposed said.

"Although I don't think it's a big deal, it's just that Konoha's black-haired ninja, Sagakushi's gourd-carrying one, and Kusakashi's, these three people need to pay attention."

And upon hearing this sentence, among the four of them, the ninja who was standing next to this ninja was wrapped in bandages all over his body, and the ninja who looked like a mummy slowly uttered this sentence hoarsely.

"snort!"

And after uttering these words, the two ninjas, a man and a woman next to the two of them, showed a confident smile at the corners of their mouths.

After that, without saying much, the four of them disappeared above the branches in a flash.

Four people...

Anyway, there is one of them who needs attention.

sound ninja...

There seems to be a considerable difference.

After the four Otonin had left, Haneda Ichiyo slowly emerged from the shadows, looked up at the direction in which the four Otonin left, and turned his eyes all the way until the four Otonin who had left so quickly were completely gone. After disappearing in place, he turned his gaze back to the two eyes facing each other, one unknown, one furious boy, and the girl with closed eyes and throbbing veins between the two boys.

"what is your name?"

Then, he stepped out of the shadows and spoke to the blond boy who was furious.

"Why?"

And upon hearing this sudden sound, six astonished gazes all swept over, Uchiha Sasuke, the pink-haired girl, the Konohamaru Legion, and even the blond-haired, blue-eyed boy himself, all with astonished gazes, Look at this mysterious boy who stepped out of the shadows and bathed in the sun.

"Well……"

And being stared at by so many eyes at once, Haneda Ichiyo was obviously stunned for a moment, and a trace of embarrassing stiffness flashed across his face.

I……

Did you say something wrong?

And in his mind, such a thought of self-examination flashed across his mind.

This is... Ichiyo Haneda, is he interested in Naruto?

And at this time, as astonished as the expression on the face, was the doubt in the hearts of Sasuke Uchiha and the pink-haired girl.

It's... bad!

Unexpectedly...unexpectedly...is interested in Brother Naruto.

Ichiyo Haneda's elder brother, does he have a bad eye?

Even the three children of the Konoha Maru Legion were astonished.

It seemed that Haneda Kazuyo in front of him actually asked the name of the blond boy, as an opponent, he was blind.

"cough!"

And at this moment, the blond boy, who even surprised himself for a moment, finally came to his senses, and a smile that he thought was cool flashed across his face, and then he coughed lightly, and first helped him The forehead protector showed his identity as a Konoha ninja, and then, he hugged his chest and showed a smile that he thought was extremely radiant, his eyes were fixed on Haneda Ichiyo, and his eyes were full of sharp eyes that he thought were extremely handsome, and then, opened the mouth.

"Uzumaki Naruto, my name is... Uzumaki Naruto!"

His tone was already full of pride, as if he was the young ninja who was as powerful as Haneda Ichiyo who showed extraordinary strength in front of him.

"Oh, hello, Naruto!"

However, in the next second, Haneda Kazuyo nodded, and after an extremely unusual greeting, he turned his gaze to the pink-haired girl and said, "What about you? And you?"

Then, he asked other people.

In an instant, the blond boy named Uzumaki Naruto twitched his lips, his shoulders drooped instantly, and he was gloomy.

It turned out that I was just asking out of politeness.

At this moment, everyone also understood, ignoring the blond boy named Uzumaki Naruto who squatted down and began to draw circles, the girl with pink hair spoke first.

"My name is Haruno Sakura, the Shinobi of Konoha."

To strangers, the pink-haired girl still maintained a cute and cute appearance, and her answers were quite decent.

"Konoha Maru!"

"Cute yellow!"

"Udon!"

Then, there are the three children of the Konoha Maru Corps.

For this Haneda Ichiyo, everyone actually has a good impression of it. Leaving aside Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto's antagonism towards this Haneda Ichiyo, everyone is quite polite.

"Hello, let me introduce myself again, Ichiyo Haneda, the ninja of Hidden Grass Village."

To everyone's kind words, Haneda Kazuyo also bowed politely, causing Haruno Sakura and the others to bow in return.

I……

Is it really that inconspicuous?

Only the blond-haired and blue-eyed Naruto shrank into a corner, began to draw circles, and began to question himself.

"Are you also a ninja who came to participate in the Chunin selection test?"

And at this time, Haruno Sakura who had finished the ceremony suddenly asked.

"It shouldn't be counted. For the time being, I am just an envoy from Caoyin Village, the Country of Grass, who is here to deliver a letter."

Regarding this, Haneda Kazuyo thought about it for a while, and said a little shyly.

"envoy?"

Everyone was stunned by Haneda Ichiyo's words.

"Yes, this time because of our own problems in the Country of Grass, we were unable to accept the invitation from the Third Hokage-sama, so I am here to submit the application for the ninja from our Hidden Grass Village to participate in this Chunin selection. Now Haven't heard back yet."

Regarding this, Haneda Kazuyo did not hide anything, and said straightforwardly.

Could it be that this guy is very simple?

And at this moment, upon hearing these straightforward words, such a thought could not help flashing through the minds of everyone.

It feels like this Haneda Ichiyo seems a bit honest.

Ask what you say, and don't shy away from it.

Generally speaking, as an envoy, it is a matter between the two countries. Whether it needs to be kept secret or not, they will not speak out so frankly.

"Oh, by the way, do you want to eat Ichiraku ramen? I heard that Konoha's Ichiraku ramen is delicious in the country of grass, and the guide who kindly showed me around Konoha just now gave me some I don’t think I can finish the coupons for Zhang Yile Ramen by myself, do you want to eat together?”

And at this time, seeming to notice that the gloomy Uzumaki Naruto was unhappy, Haneda Kazuyo seemed to have thought of something, took out a few coupons from his arms, and said.

"Ichiraku Ramen! I'll go!"

And when he heard that someone invited him to eat Ichiraku ramen, Uzumaki Naruto jumped up immediately and nodded hurriedly.

This guy, like Naruto, is actually a very simple guy?

And at this time, look at this Haneda Kazuyo, and then look at Uzumaki Naruto who nodded in a hurry, walked up to Haneda Kazuyo, hugged his shoulders while nodding and muttering "You are such a good person", looked at the two The appearance of the individual, such a thought flashed in the hearts of everyone.

"Well... we won't go, now Brother Naruto won't play ninja games with us, then, we will go to special training!"

But at this moment, it was the Konohamaru Legion who spoke first.

"Thank you, Brother Yiye, thank you for saving me (Konoha Maru)!"

Then, the three of them bowed very politely, and after saying goodbye to Uzumaki Naruto and the three of them, they discussed about becoming stronger and left here.

What happened to Konoha Maru just now seemed to have stimulated the three children a little.

"So?"

Watching the children leave, Ichiyo Haneda looked at Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno.

"Sasuke, are you going?"

And almost subconsciously, Haruno Sakura asked Uchiha Sasuke.

"good."

As for Uchiha Sasuke, the answer was quite straightforward.

Take this opportunity to get to know this Haneda Kazuyo well!

And when Haruno Sakura nodded hurriedly with a blushing face and said "I'll go if Sasuke goes", a thought that had nothing to do with eating ramen flashed in Uchiha Sasuke's mind.

"Then! Let's go! Ichiraku Ramen!"

After seeing Uchiha Sasuke's agreement, Uzumaki Naruto, who couldn't wait, already took Haneda Yiye to go first.

tentatively……

Let's talk about breaking into this group.

And at this moment, amid Naruto Uzumaki's pull, Kazuyo Haneda, who was caught off guard, had a flash of light in his eyes, and followed him step by step.

Afterwards, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno followed leisurely.
