Chapter 70: Thanks from Hatake Sakumo

Chapter 70: Thanks from Hatake Sakumo

Saturday.

As soon as Hanekawa opened the door, he heard a cheerful voice.

"Hanekawa! Look!"

Xihi Kurenai ran up to him.

"What are you looking at?"

Hanekawa yawned.

Xihi Kurenai didn't answer, but just turned around in front of him.

Only then did Hanekawa notice that she had changed into a white sports outfit and tied her hair into a ponytail.

The whole person looks heroic, which is different from his usual loose hair style, and he appears to be full of energy.

"Not bad, very energetic."

Hanekawa nodded and said with a smile.

"Ok!"

Yuhi Kurenai gave a brilliant smile.

"What are you doing?"

Xihi Shinku walked out of the room with a confused look on her face and asked, "Isn't today Saturday? Are you going out?"

"We're going to Uncle Gujie's place."

Yuhi Kurenai clenched her fists and said seriously, "I must learn water jutsu today!"

"Gujie? Water escape?"

Yuhi Shinku's eyes widened.

what's the situation?
Not only did this daughter leak information, but she also made a decision that went against her ancestors?

You don't even want to learn illusion techniques anymore?

"Is such that."

Hanekawa explained the whole thing.

But what was hidden was that it was he who asked Yuhi Kurenai to learn water jutsu, and that it was Maruboshi Kosuke who taught her water jutsu for Yuhi Makoto's sake.

"I didn't expect that Brother Gu Jie still remembered me."

Yuhi Shinku was very happy after hearing this.

Yuhi Kurenai blinked.

She knew that Hanekawa had told two lies, but she didn't expose him.

"red."

Xihi Shinku warned, "Although Brother Kosuke is a Genin, his strength should not be underestimated. You should follow him and learn well."

If you think about it carefully, learning water escape isn't a bad idea.

After all, the illusion will eventually be broken.

Yuhi Kurenai is a girl, like Hanekawa, she learns Taijutsu and swordsmanship, which are not very elegant, but water jutsu is good.

And Yuhi Shinku also knew that Maruboshi Kosuke learned water jutsu from the Second Mizukage, oh no, the Hokage.

All in all, Xiurihong still got the upper hand.

"Dad, let's go!"

After dinner, Yuhi Kurenai pulled Hanekawa and ran outside.

"Slower!"

Seeing this, Yuhi Shinku shouted, "Don't exercise after just having breakfast!"

"Know it!"

Yuhi Kurenai replied without turning her head.

The sunshine in March is neither too cold nor too hot, very comfortable.

Two people were walking hand in hand on the street.

Because it was Saturday, there were not many pedestrians on the street, only shops that were about to open.

“When did a new ramen restaurant open here?”

Kurenai Yuhi noticed Ichiraku Ramen not far away.

"When it opens, we'll come over and try it."

Hanekawa took a look and found an old man wearing a white chef's uniform.

It is undoubtedly hand-typed.

In the original work, there is a place that is particularly safe, and that is Ichiraku Ramen.

Tendo Pain destroyed the entire Konoha, but Ichiraku Ramen was fine.

Many people jokingly call the hand-type "Ichiraku Otsutsuki", the hidden boss.

"Ok."

Yuhi Kurenai nodded, anticipation showing on her face.

It’s not what you eat, but with whom you eat it.

The two of them soon arrived at Maruboshi Kosuke's home.

"Uncle Gujie."

Yuhi Kurenai and Hanekawa greeted in unison.

"Good morning."

Maruboshi Kosuke smiled kindly.

He has always been alone, and now he has two little ones, he feels very happy.

After the greetings, it’s time to practice.

Hanekawa took the samurai sword and started to refresh the progress bar.

"Hong, I have almost finished teaching you the basics of water escape in the past few days."

Maruboshi Kosuke pondered for a moment and said, "Today we will learn Water Style: Water Sweeping Wave. This is a basic water style ninjutsu and is not difficult."

"Yeah!" Xihihong was a little excited and nodded repeatedly.

"The power of this jutsu depends on the chakra you output."

Maruboshi Kosuke formed seals with his hands, opened them and spit out a wave of water, which was not big, only the size of his arm.

Then he performed it again, and this time it could be called a river.

"Amazing!"

Xihi Kurenai couldn't help but say, "This feels better than illusion!"

Hanekawa twitched the corner of his mouth.

Fortunately, Xi Ri Zhenhong is not here, otherwise, he might have been beaten up.

But he wouldn't hit his daughter, he must have been pissed off.

Putting aside those perverts, illusion techniques are not much worse than water escape techniques.

What should be said about Yuhi Kurenai is the expressiveness, and the water escape technique has more visual impact.

Hanekawa put away his thoughts and continued to practice.

……

At the entrance of the Hokage's office.

Hatake Sakumo hesitated for a few seconds, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice rang out.

"Hokage-sama."

Hatake Sakumo opened the door and walked in.

"It's Sakumo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a smile, "What do you want from me?"

"I came here specially to thank you for the rumors."

Hatake Sakumo bowed slightly and said.

Of course, he had heard the rumors about him.

But he has always followed his own ninja way, so he didn't care about their rumors.

Just two days ago, he suddenly found that all the rumors disappeared.

There are only a handful of people in Konoha Village who have this ability.

The most likely one is the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After guessing it, Hatake Sakumo felt relieved.

In his opinion, Sarutobi Hiruzen represents the will of fire.

He acknowledged himself, which meant he did nothing wrong.

"That's what Tsunade requested."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.

"Tsunade?"

Hatake Sakumo was stunned.

This was indeed something he didn't expect.

Although Tsunade is a high-ranking official in Konoha, she is not like Danzo Shimura who participates in everything.

"It just so happens that Tsunade is in the mission hall right now, you can go find her."

Sarutobi Hiruzen grabbed his pipe and said casually.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Hatake Sakumo bowed again and left the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his figure and took a puff of his cigarette.

He knew Hatake Sakumo.

If Tsunade did him a favor and wanted to compete for the position of Hokage, he would most likely give up or even support her.

Mission hall.

Tsunade carefully selected and finally decided on Hanekawa's first mission.

Go to the Land of Water to pick up an intelligence officer from Konoha Village.

The mission level is B, which means you will encounter ninjas, but you won’t encounter any jonins, only chunins at most.

In addition to the moderate difficulty, Tsunade's most important consideration is to bring Hanekawa to experience the cruelty of the ninja world.

The Land of Water and the Hidden Mist Village are suitable to be used as teaching materials.

Just then, a familiar figure came into view.

"Tsunade."

Hatake Sakumo walked up and said directly, "Thank you for your help regarding the rumor."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow slightly.

She quickly guessed Sarutobi Hiruzen's intentions.

"Hanekawa asked me to do that."

Tsunade smiled and said nonchalantly, "If you want to thank someone, thank that brat."

Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but be stunned.

How is this related to Hanekawa again?
Because of Hatake Kakashi, they are familiar with each other.

But Hanekawa is just a child after all.

This kind of thing, getting involved, always feels too unbelievable.

"Anyway, I still have to thank you."

Hatake Sakumo said with a slight bow.
