Konoha: Doing good deeds can make you stronger

Chapter 14 Meet the Third Hokage
Before I knew it, it was already dawn.

Marutani Koko was pleasantly surprised to find that even though he practiced directly until dawn, his spirit was exceptionally clear, and it seemed that he did not have much impact on himself without sleep for a night.

The Kun in front of him is still swimming comfortably in the air, and waves of energy are dancing with its turning and moving.

The boy stretched out his right hand, and Kun obediently swam into it, and directly merged into Marutani Koko's body.

Marutani Ko can clearly feel the existence of the Kun in his body. Even if he is fused with himself, the Kun is still absorbing the energy in the air. It can be said that the current Marutani Ko is a human-shaped Chakra absorber.

Although he really wanted to continue studying the magic of Kun, the knock on the door didn't stop from the moment it sounded. Marutani Kou tidied up the slightly messy clothes, came to the door, and pushed it away.

Standing at the door was a ninja in Anbu's regular attire.

Anbu ninjas always wear special masks when performing tasks, and the ninja in front of them is no exception.

He wears a cat-like mask on his face, with a pair of cat ears growing on both sides of the mask, and red patterns and eye lines on his cheeks, but the most conspicuous thing on the other side is the conspicuous white hair .

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Anbu generally belongs directly to Hokage, and the appearance of Anbu also means Hokage's order.

"Master Three Generations is looking for you," Anbu Ninja's tone was very cold, but normal, "Let you go to the Hokage Building."

"I see." Marutani Kou nodded.

Anbu Ninja didn't talk nonsense, and left directly after notifying the news.

Quickly arrived at the Hokage building where the third generation was located. Under the leadership of another ninja, Marutani Kou came to the door of Hokage's office for the first time. When he opened the door, he found three people waiting in the room.

"You came."

One of them was naturally Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting at Hokage's desk at this time and was processing various documents.

The Anbe ninja who woke him up before was also in the office, standing right behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Marutani Kou easily recognized him through his white hair.

The dress of the last one is a bit ordinary, but the hairstyle is very special. It is actually a pineapple head. At this time, he is holding a notebook and standing beside Hiruzaru Sarutobi, as if reporting some news. After hearing the door open, The sound was made, and he was turning his head to observe himself at this time.

"Here I am, three generations of adults, and two seniors."

As a junior, it is natural to take the initiative to say hello.

The two behaved very restrained in front of Hokage, just nodded.

"You probably don't know Shikaku yet." Hiruza Sarutobi also introduced the identity of the pineapple-headed ninja to Marutani Kou, "This is Nara Shikaku, Konoha's Jonin, this time he will be in charge Mission to Yunyin."

"Hi, I'm Shikahisa Nara."

"Hello, Shikaku-sama! I'm at Shimotani Kou." As the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person with your hand, you can't go wrong with a good attitude.

"My lord, what can I do for you?"

"It's not a big deal, just wait a moment," Hiruzaru Sarutobi shook his head, and refocused his attention on the pineapple-headed ninja, "Shikahisa, let's continue talking, how is the arrangement going?"

"Okay." Marutani Kou obediently stepped aside.

After saying hello, Marutani Kou retreated to the side, quietly listening to the conversation of the bosses.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was in a very good mood at this time, he had tormented himself for several days of negotiations, finally after a night of hard work last night, he reached an agreement with Yun Yin, and his tone of speech became much more relaxed.

"Lu Jiu, you must remember that this mission is very important. You represent our Konoha, and you must not only leave a good impression on Yun Yin, but also show our Konoha's character at the right time. strength."

"Yes, Midai-sama, I know," Nara Shikahisa withdrew his eyes from looking at Marutani Kou, and nodded seriously, "However, there are many powerful ninjas in Yun Yin, if you forcefully want to provoke us, rely on my strength, I'm afraid I can't handle it."

Although Shikahisa Nara has reached the average level of a Jōnin, he is not a ninja who specializes in fighting. To be on the safe side, he still hopes to find a ninja with strong fighting power to accompany him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew what the other party meant, but the current situation in the village was not very optimistic.

In addition to the forces outside the village that have been spying secretly, there seems to be an undercurrent surging inside the village, and there are not a few suitable candidates that can be found for a while.

"Or let Kakashi go." Hiru Sarutobi turned his head and looked at the white-haired man behind him. It turned out that his name was Kakashi.

"But Kakashi wants to protect the safety of the third generation." Nara Shikahisa frowned, "Kakashi's strength is naturally needless to say, but the current situation in the village, let's stay by your side."

"But actually I don't need protection," Hiruzaru Sarutobi interrupted Nara Shikahisa, how could he become Hokage without strong strength, "Compared to protecting me, relying on Kakashi's strength, I should do something right There are more meaningful things in the village."

Kakashi didn't speak. As a member of Anbu, all he needs to do is to follow Hokage's instructions.

Compared with the envoy Yun Yin, the work of protecting Hokage is much simpler. Firstly, Sarutobi Hiruzen himself is very strong, and there are not many people in the ninja world who can threaten him. Secondly, due to the identity of Hokage, Hiruzaru Sarutobi stayed in the village all the year round, and most of the time he would work in the Hokage Building. On his own chassis, it was difficult for the enemy to invade.

But this position is a bit sensitive. As a confidant who stays by Hokage's side, he must choose a loyal person, otherwise it will become a breakthrough point for the enemy.

Shikahisa Nara had already shut his mouth, he knew very well that Hokage would naturally have to decide on this kind of Anbu candidate who is close to Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruza realized that he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, and when he turned his head, he found that Marutani Kouji's lips were slightly parted, as if he wanted to say something.

"Does Marutani have any suitable candidates?"

"If you have anything to say, just say it. If we think it's inappropriate, we will naturally deny it." Hiruza Sarutobi reassured Marutani Kou.

Shikahisa Nara felt very strange.

Sarutobi Hirzen's attitude towards Marutani Kou is like a teacher training his students, and he has just secretly observed this boy for a long time, and found that there is nothing special about him except for the extremely high concentration of Chakra around him.

"I think so."

Marutani Koko doesn't know whether the other party is suitable or not. In fact, he just had an itchy mouth just now, and he didn't have any ideas of his own, but now he has been put on the shelf by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and it seems that he can't do without speaking. I can try my best to search for ninjas I know in my mind.

"Or let Uchiha Itachi try."
