Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Iron Fist (I)

Hanyu and the others were not unhappy, but when they rushed back to the Hokage's side, they saw only a battlefield full of chaos......

As well as the Hokage and his personal squad standing in the center of the battlefield, the figure of the enemy Kakuto completely disappeared.

Thankfully, the Hokage seemed to be safe. Hanyu glanced at the men, and the three generations of Hokage not only looked unscathed, but even the hat with the word "fire" written on it, representing his official identity, had been firmly on his head.

As for the three little ones behind him, they looked a little gray and embarrassed.

"Hokage-sama, I'm so sorry." The captain of the dark team half-knelt in front of the three generations of Hokage and expressed his apologies to the Hokage - it was completely his gaffe to be fled here by the enemy, it was clear that the Konoha ninja had an absolute advantage, but he let the other party run away under his nose.

Then, the Dark Force Commander continued, "What about the enemy, was it dealt with by Hokage-sama? ”

The answer is definitely no, because no corpse of Kakuto was found around, but it was precisely because the Hokage only repelled the enemy and did not kill the enemy, that the dark department had a chance to make up for his own gaffe.

"It's not your fault, the enemy is strong and cunning...... If he couldn't hit him, he would immediately be thousands of miles away, and I didn't solve the taki's rebellion. And since I can't do that as Hokage, I shouldn't be harsh on you anyway. The third Hokage said.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

The Dark Force Captain nodded, and the Hokage's tolerance made him secretly relieved, "Then the three generations, are we going to pursue the enemy next?" ”

Hokage stood with his hands in his hands, glanced at the three Jiraiya behind him, and then slowly shook his head, "There's no need, after failure, the assassins won't make a second attempt, the next task is important, we have to get to Daimyo Castle on time." ”

Just now, it was precisely because of the three disciples that the three generations of Hokage had no way to let go of their hands and feet to fight, and now it was because of them that the Hokage decided not to pursue that enemy.

“…… I see, Miyome. ”

The shadow ninja was probably unwilling at this time, obviously his side had an absolute advantage, but he let go of the enemy. But now that the Hokage had already made such a decision, the Dark Force Commander had no reason to refute it.

What's more, what the three generations of Hokage said is very reasonable, at this time, for their group, the political task of going to Daimyo City is the highest priority.

Did you get run away by the other party? Hanyu didn't think there was any surprise in this result, after all, in his impression, it seemed that Kakudu was an unusually capable ninja, and ...... Hanyu turned his gaze to the three Hokages.

Looking at the Hokage at this time, Hanyu was completely convinced that the other party would become a kind old man with a kind face in less than a few decades. And the young three generations of Hokage, no matter how you look at it, are a bit like the old President Bradley - always smiling, squinting, steady, and ruthless at the same time.

When fighting the ninjas on Hanyu's side, Kakuto didn't seem to use his full strength, and the battle on the Hokage's side, although shorter, seemed to be more intense from the remaining battlefield situation.

However, the tragedy of Kakuto is that not only did the first Hokage not take him seriously, but it seems that the current three Hokage did not take him too seriously...... Maybe this has something to do with the fact that the Hokage attaches great importance to the mission of the Daimyojo?

Following the Hokage's orders, the group reorganized their formation and continued to move towards Daimyo Castle, but after an attack, the ninjas became more vigilant at this point.

After passing through the previous battle, the Konoha ninjas briefly investigated the situation of the deceased, but found no valuable information on the corpse, and then they disposed of the attacker's body on the spot.

After spending a little extra time, the Hokage and his party became calm for the rest of the journey, and did not encounter any special circumstances, and the group approached a city that looked magnificent rather calmly.

At least it's much grander than the plain-looking Konoha Hidden Village.

Through the main gate of the castle, the Konoha ninjas could see that the main road inside was crowded with people, and the crowd was still waving colorful flags.

The Hokage's guards met each other for a moment, and then surrounded the Hokage in a denser formation, only giving way to the path directly in front of the Hokage.

There was no better place for an Assassin to hide than a large crowd, so for a ninja like Hanyu on a guard duty, this kind of showman-like outdoor activity was the most annoying, but the problem was the political significance of the Hokage's move, and they had to pass through the gates to meet the layers of crowds in the city.

Even Hanyu and the others had to be like the Hokage, and after entering the castle, they had to put a false smile on their faces...... If he had known, he should have put on his dark mask.

The guards followed behind the Hokage, and were always ready to strike at any moment. After the group passed through the gate and the Hokage himself revealed himself from the shadow of the gate hole, the crowd suddenly burst into cheers, as if the enthusiasm of the crowd was about to overturn the entire castle in an instant.

Hanyu was so frightened by such cheers that he almost slapped away, and the dark ninja on the side was even more nervous than Hanyu, and at this time Hanyu saw that someone's seal was half knotted...... The crowd really shouldn't be startled in front of a group of nervous ninjas, who is responsible for the real death?

However, this deliberate welcome arrangement is not incomprehensible, after all, Sarutobi is a Hokage, and the daimyo needs to show goodwill to him, and the welcome of the masses to the Hokage is by no means all hypocritical, after all, the new Hokage has already brought victory to the Fire Country, so much so that the country has half withdrawn from the protracted ninja war.

Smiling and calm, the Hokage waved to the people of Daimyo Castle on either side as he passed through the middle of the road.

And the ones in this squad who are even calmer than the Hokage are his three disciples. Tsunade pretended to be serious, but her eyes crossed the crowd and patrolled the street sign farther back, and after occasionally seeing the word "gamble", the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and then she tried to restrain her smile.

Her expression even looked a little charming, and I didn't know that she thought she was seeing something she shouldn't see.

Jiraiya put his hands behind his head, licked his face and grinned, his eyes were rolling around, and he was constantly patrolling in the crowd.

As for the rest of Orochimaru, he finally didn't embarrass the Hokage, he was really calm...... Perhaps he was thinking about a philosophical question at this time, what is the difference between himself and these ordinary people?

The Hokage continued to move forward, and Hanyu and the others continued to be ready to use ninjutsu to fool others at any time. After walking some distance forward, the Hokage's vision was purple, and a young man dressed in an unusually gorgeous dress and wearing a high black crown appeared.

Behind him stood a maid in the same attire, holding a large black umbrella with cherry blossom prints.

This person should be the daimyo of the Fire Country.

When the daimyo and the Hokage were more than ten steps away, he actually took the initiative to step out from under the umbrella, he moved his feet, and then stretched out his right hand to the Hokage.

The three generations of Hokage also stretched out their palms, so the hands of the two heads of one country were tightly clasped together.

The cheers were even louder.
