Chapter 253: Konoha Police Department's Response
Chapter 253: Konoha Police Department's Response (Part and )
"Uncle Fugaku."
Hanekawa thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know how many steps it takes to become a Hokage?"
"You mean...process?"
Uchiha Fugaku asked hesitantly.
He didn't understand why Hanekawa asked this.
"good."
Hanekawa followed up on his words and said, "To sum it up, it's the approval of the Hokage, the Fire Country Daimyo, the Jonin, and the villagers."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded slightly.
But in his opinion, only the Hokage's approval is the most important.
The biggest reason why the Uchiha clan has never produced a Hokage is that they have been unable to gain the trust of the Hokage.
"If my student wants to become Hokage, these four approvals are essential."
Hanekawa said slowly, "Teacher and I can help him get the approval of the Hokage and the Daimyo, but the approval of the Jonin and the villagers..."
He stopped and looked at Uchiha Fugaku.
"Hanekawa, just say whatever you want to say."
Uchiha Fugaku heard the hidden meaning in his words.
"The Uchiha clan does not have a very good reputation in Konoha Village. This will hinder my student's path to becoming a Hokage."
Hanekawa said directly.
Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but fall into silence.
If he could change the reputation of the Uchiha clan, he wouldn't have to wait until today.
Even though he was the clan leader, he felt that the Uchiha clan was difficult to manage.
"The key lies with the Konoha Police Department."
Hanekawa continued.
"What do you want to do?"
Uchiha Fugaku was shocked and asked with a frown.
He probably had guessed what Hanekawa was thinking, which was nothing more than wanting to interfere in the Konoha Police Department.
So, taking his second child as an apprentice was a deal.
"The reason why the villagers complain about the Konoha Police Department is because the Uchiha clan is too inflexible in doing things."
Hanekawa said calmly, "Teacher's idea is to add ninjas from other races to the Konoha Police Department to neutralize their style."
"How many foreign ninjas do we need to add?"
Uchiha Fugaku's expression turned serious.
"Just half."
Hanekawa explained.
"This is too much!"
Uchiha Fugaku was shocked and said, "Even if I agree, the Uchiha clan will not agree!"
"If the Uchiha clan does not integrate into Konoha Village, they will not be able to obtain the position of Hokage."
Hanekawa shook his head and said.
"This……"
Uchiha Fugaku seemed to be hesitant about what to say.
"It's not urgent."
Hanekawa changed the subject and said, "We can start by filling the vacancies in the Konoha Police Department."
Because too many Uchiha clan ninjas died in the Frost Country battlefield, many vacancies appeared in the Konoha Police Department.
If the reason is lack of manpower, then ninjas from other tribes can be recruited.
"Itachi, what do you think?"
Hanekawa lowered his eyes and asked suddenly.
Uchiha Itachi was stunned and subconsciously looked at Uchiha Fugaku.
"Since Hanekawa asked you, then tell me what you think."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded and said.
"The Hokage shouldn't just focus on one ninja clan or one Konoha Police Department, he should focus on the entire village."
Uchiha Itachi organized his words and spoke in a deep voice.
Hanekawa wasn't surprised at all.
Although Uchiha Itachi is a filial son in the original work, in his heart, Konoha Village comes first.
For the sake of Konoha Village, he was even willing to exterminate the Uchiha clan.
In a sense, if used properly, he can become a sword for the Hokage.
"I promise you!"
Uchiha Fugaku gritted his teeth and said.
Just as Uchiha Itachi said, if he could really become Hokage, the Konoha Police Department would be nothing.
"Then it's settled, Uncle Fugaku."
A smile appeared on Hanekawa's face.
Uchiha Fugaku let out a breath.
Although she felt a little uneasy at this moment, Tsunade was not Sarutobi Hiruzen or Shimura Danzo, so it was worth a try.
Moreover, the Konoha Police Department is not as important as imagined, because of the Anbu and the Root.
Due to the suppression of Danzo Shimura and the acquiescence of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Anbu and the Root seized many powers belonging to the Konoha Police Department.
Recruiting foreign ninjas nowadays might be a good thing, as it would allow them to take back their authority.
Of course, the most important condition is still that Hanekawa accepts him as his disciple.
Uchiha Itachi glanced around and couldn't help but feel relaxed.
Influenced by Uchiha Shisui, he has always wanted the Uchiha clan not to come into conflict with Konoha Village.
"This matter will be determined at the subsequent Jonin meeting."
Hanekawa reminded, "Uncle Fugaku, please be prepared."
"I see."
Uchiha Fugaku knew that he was talking about the Uchiha clan's reaction to this matter.
Especially the hardliners within the tribe, there will definitely be a backlash.
"Itachi, after you graduate, you can join the ANBU."
Hanekawa thought for a moment and said.
Uchiha Itachi is a dangerous person, and the best way is to keep him under his nose.
"Thank you, Hanekawa."
Uchiha Fugaku was immediately delighted when he heard this.
I can't be a student, but joining the Anbu is not bad either.
Hanekawa is now the head of the Anbu. With his care, Uchiha Itachi will definitely have smooth sailing in the Anbu.
Uchiha Fugaku suddenly thought of a possibility.
His two children, one became Hokage and the other was in charge of Anbu.
Just thinking about such a future made him want to laugh out loud.
"Thank you, Hanekawa-nii."
Uchiha Itachi bowed deeply.
He knew what kind of organization the Anbu was, so he was very willing to join it.
Night falls.
After dinner, Hanekawa left the Uchiha clan.
He originally didn't want to stay for dinner, but Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto were too enthusiastic.
Besides, the deal had just been concluded, so he couldn't afford to lose face.
Hanekawa came to Tsunade's house.
I told her about the Uchiha clan and made dinner for her.
But he didn't stay tonight, but went back to Xiurihong's home.
After all, he didn't go back yesterday.
If I don't go back tonight, Xiurihong will definitely be unhappy.
"Hanekawa-sama."
Qing's figure suddenly appeared.
"What's the emergency?"
Hanekawa stopped and asked.
"These are the war orphans Konoha has adopted over the past four years."
Qing took out a scroll and said.
"Thank you for your hard work. You can go home now."
Hanekawa took the scroll, waved his hand and said.
"Yes, Lord Hanekawa."
Qing bowed slightly and disappeared from the spot.
Hanekawa opened the scroll and read it as he walked.
He is a ninja with sharp five senses, so he can do two things at once and avoid getting lost or bumping into telephone poles.
After a moment, Hanekawa's eyes focused and he saw the three words "Yakushi Kabuto".
Is he really there?
Hanekawa originally thought that without the war between the Sand Village and the Konoha Village, there would be no Kabuto Yakushi.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
Because Kabuto Yakushi is a spy for the rebel ninja Scorpion from the Sand Village.
Whether there is a war or not, he will be sent to Konoha Village.
Hanekawa was thoughtful.
Although Kabuto Yakushi is a spy, the person he cares about most is Nono Yakushi.
In the original work, if Danzo Shimura hadn't designed them to kill each other, Kabuto Yakushi wouldn't have turned evil.
This kind of thing naturally doesn't happen nowadays.
As long as Nono Yakushi does not die, there is a high probability that Kabuto Yakushi will stay in Konoha Village.
Of course, we also have to help him resolve the Scorpion's restriction.
"Is it seven now?"
Hanekawa fell into deep thought.
Kabuto Yakushi's best teacher is Orochimaru.
But we can't be impatient now, we have to let the pharmacist Nono teach him for a while and change his character. Hanekawa suddenly raised his eyebrows.
He heard footsteps coming from behind him.
The next second, Hanekawa's eyes were covered by a pair of hands.
A familiar aroma came.
Hanekawa calmly put away the scroll, he already knew who it was.
"Guess who I am?"
A deliberately low voice sounded.
"What's the reward for guessing correctly?"
Hanekawa blinked and asked.
"I invite you to dinner."
The voice replied.
"Yuhihong."
Hanekawa said casually.
"How did you guess that?"
Xihi Kurenai loosened her hand and asked in surprise, "Did I reveal something?"
"The scent of you."
Hanekawa turned around, looked at her, and explained.
"I'm not wearing any perfume, where does the fragrance come from?"
Xihi Kurenai sniffed with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "Are you lying to me?"
"No."
Hanekawa leaned down slightly and came in front of her.
Xihihong's pupils couldn't help but shrink.
“It smells really good.”
Hanekawa leaned against her neck, sniffed it, and said.
"Yes...really?"
Xiurihong's heart trembled, and she felt the hot breath he exhaled, and her face turned slightly red.
"Not only is it fragrant, but the skin is whiter than snow."
Hanekawa looked at her delicate neck and praised it.
"That...I..."
Xihihong was a little incoherent and didn't know what to say.
"I suddenly want to change the reward."
Hanekawa paused and added, "I've already had dinner at the Uchiha clan."
"What to change?"
Xihihong was stunned for a moment and asked.
Hanekawa lowered his head and kissed her neck.
Xihi Kurenai's body stiffened, and she quickly realized what had happened, and her face suddenly turned red.
"this one."
Hanekawa took a half step back, held her hand, and said, "Let's go home."
"Ah."
Xihihong's mind went blank and she followed him in a daze.
"Have you had dinner?"
Hanekawa asked.
But after a few seconds, there was still no answer.
He turned to look at Xihi Kurenai and couldn't help but smile. She was so cute.
Hanekawa thought about it and started playing with her little hands.
"You...what did you just say?"
Xihihong felt the kneading sensation on her hands and immediately came back to her senses.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Hanekawa asked, touching her slender fingers.
"have eaten."
Yuhi Kurenai said while suppressing her shyness.
There’s nothing wrong with holding hands, but being played with like this is relatively rare.
"So Uncle Zhenhong is at home?"
Hanekawa asked casually.
If Yuhi Shinku is not at home, Yuhi Shinku will wait for him to come back and have dinner together.
"Ah."
Yuhi Kurenai nodded and said.
“It feels a bit unfortunate.”
Hanekawa said with a smile.
"But...what's a pity?"
Xi Rihong's heart suddenly trembled, and even her voice sounded a little panicked.
"What are you thinking?"
Hanekawa's gaze fell on her face, two blushes on her face looked like peach blossoms, so beautiful.
"Wha…nothing…nothing."
Xiurihong didn't dare to look at him and lowered her head subconsciously.
Hanekawa smiled and patted her head without saying anything else.
After September, it is October.
The excitement brought by the victory in the Ninja World War has faded in Konoha Village as time goes by.
As October begins, two major events occur in Konoha Village.
One is the wedding of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.
The identities of both people are extremely special. The former is Jiraiya's student, and the latter is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Their wedding naturally attracted the attention of all the ninjas in the village.
The second was the first official jonin meeting after Tsunade became the Fourth Hokage.
The attention paid to this Jonin meeting even exceeded that of the wedding of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.
After all, it is closely related to the interests of many people.
In particular, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu have been unable to sleep at night recently, fearing that Tsunade will cancel their positions as Hokage advisors.
They also went to Sarutobi Hiruzen for help, but were rejected.
The reason was that he had retired and could no longer interfere in the affairs of Konoha Village.
This is obviously a lie.
After the death of Danzo Shimura, Sarutobi Hiruzen already understood Tsunade's style.
Persuasion would have no effect, so he just didn't bother to care anymore.
This made Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu very angry, but they could do nothing about Sarutobi Hiruzen.
ANBU base.
Hanekawa stood in the open space and made seals with his hands.
Mudun·Four Pillar House!
Chakra surged out, the ground bulged, and countless tree roots rolled out.
In a blink of an eye, they formed wooden pillars and then combined into a wooden house.
"It's amazing."
Hanekawa couldn't help but sigh.
He opened the door and walked into the living room.
“Is there still furniture?”
Hanekawa didn't know where to start complaining, "Chakra really is omnipotent."
Although Wood Release: Four Pillars Family is not an offensive ninjutsu, it is very convenient and useful.
For example, when you go out on a mission, you don’t have to live in a tent.
Hanekawa walked around the house and was very satisfied.
Except for the lack of a kitchen, it has everything you need.
Wood Release: Four Pillars is the fourth Wood Release Ninjutsu that Hanekawa learned.
In addition, there are Wood Release: Tree World Descent, Wood Release: Great Forest Technique and Wood Release: Wood Clone.
As for Wood Release: Woodman Technique, he is already learning it, but judging by the progress bar, it will take several months to master it.
Therefore, Hanekawa planned to learn a few less difficult Wood Release techniques to make do with.
Of course, the most important ninjutsu is still the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Hanekawa estimates that he will be able to learn it next month or the month after.
By then, the ninja world will be so big that you can go anywhere.
Hanekawa evacuated the cabin and heard a familiar voice.
"Hanekawa!"
Xiurihong trotted up to him.
Besides her, there is also Nohara Rin.
"The wedding is about to begin!"
Xihi Kurenai said excitedly, "Let's go over there quickly!"
"There's still half an hour left."
Hanekawa smiled and said.
"Let's go!"
Yuhi Kurenai took Hanekawa and ran out.
Today is the wedding of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.
When the three of us arrived, the seat was basically full.
But Hanekawa didn't care.
After all, it was not his wedding, so what he had to do today was very simple, which was to eat as much as he could.
But what was different from before was that he could no longer sit at the children's table.
Now he is the assistant of the Hokage and a high-ranking member of Konoha Village, so naturally he cannot sit at the same table with Kurenai Yuhi, Kakashi Hatake and others.
