Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Gentleman's Promise

Shimura Danzo, who was determined to win Echizen Kazuya, was finally disappointed, whether it was from the perspective of his status, his own strength or his relationship with the Yamanaka family, he was at a disadvantage in all aspects in the matter of competing with Sarutobi to grab Echizen Kazuya.

If you add to that the notorious prohibition of the roots that the Konoha clan all knows, unless Yamanaka Haiichi's head is caught in the door panel, he will never choose to let Echizen Kazuya follow Shimura Danzo.

The enraged Shimura Tunzo gritted his teeth fiercely, angrily smashed the floor of the Hokage's office with his cane, and after a nostalgic glance at the Hokage's office, he reluctantly left, how he wanted to stay here forever!

After losing to Sarutobi again and again, Shimura Danzo's desire for the Hokage's position reached an almost perverted level.

He felt that the reason why he had been suppressed by Sarutobi was because Sarutobi was the Hokage, and he was just a root hidden in the shadows.

Annoyed, Shimura Danzou took a grudge against Kazuya Echizen, who might become his rival in the future, and withdrew Mitsuki Tsuda, who had been sent to protect and monitor Kazuya Echizen.

If Echizen Kazuya knew that Shimura Danzou had removed the protection and surveillance of him, he would definitely be very happy, he didn't want to be watched all day long, it was enough to have an already familiar Inoue River to protect himself, and it would be better to go as far as his thoughts went.

Of course, in addition to the protection of Echizen Kazuya, the happiest thing about Shimura Danzo's removal is the Hasei brothers who are dormant in a neighboring town, and they have been counting their fingers lately, praying day and night for Konoha to relax his protection of Echizen Kazuya.

Shimura Tunzo doesn't care about Shimura Danzo's disrespect for himself, after all, he has been an old friend for many years, but Sarutobi Hizashi will still take the opportunity to knock Shimura Danzo from time to time, so as not to forget who is the Hokage!

However, with the matter of Tuanzang, Sarutobi is going to call Echizen Kazuya over tomorrow and officially accept him as an apprentice, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Looking at the picture in the crystal ball, Kazuya Echizen, who was tirelessly practicing ninjutsu after returning home, Sarutobi Hizashi smiled with satisfaction and began to eagerly look forward to meeting him tomorrow.

"Haiyi-senpai, Hokage-sama, please, please take Echizen Kazuya to the Hokage's office immediately."

Early the next morning, Yamanaka Kaichi, who was about to continue to instruct Echizen Kazuya to practice ninjutsu, received a notice from the dark department, and looked at Echizen Kazuya suspiciously, wondering why the three generations summoned him and Echizen Kazuya to the Hokage's office.

But Yamanaka Heichi still resolutely carried out the order, picked up Echizen Kazuya and hurried to the Hokage's office.

"Three generations of adults, Kamishinobi Mountain Nakakai came to report." After the report of the dark department, Kaichi Yamanaka entered the Hokage's office with Kazuya Echizen and said respectfully.

"Haiichi is here," Sarutobi Hichicho disposed of the documents in his hand before he looked up at Kaichi Yamanaka and Kazuya Echizen, and said with a kind smile.

Under Yamanaka's puzzled gaze, Sarutobi Hichicho stood up and walked to Echizen Kazuya's side, squatted down and rubbed Echizen Kazuya's head, and said with a smile: "Hello, Kazuya, remember me?" ”

"Of course I remember, you are the third generation of Hokage-sama, the one who guards Konoha Village!" Facing the amiable three generations, Echizen Kazuya said generously.

"Hahaha, then do you want to protect Konoha Village like me?" Seemingly satisfied with Echizen Kazuya's answer, Sarutobi laughed heartily.

"Of course, I will also protect Konoha Village, I will protect Aunt Keiko, Sister Ino, and all my friends! I'm going to be a hero like my dad! Echizen Kazuya probably knew what the third generation had asked him to do, so he said sincerely, this is exactly what he really thinks in his heart.

"But it's good to be a living hero," Kazuya Echizen added silently inwardly.

The third generation touched Echizen Kazuya's head with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "Then do you know how to protect them?" ”

"You have to practice hard, make yourself stronger, and then help them become stronger too, then no one can hurt them." Echizen Kazuya thought about it and said with a bright face.

"Just like you do now, do you want to guide your friends in their cultivation?" Miyo asked amusedly.

"Yes, they have improved a lot, as long as they continue to work hard, they will definitely get better and better in the future." Echizen Kazuya swore solemnly.

The third generation touched his beard with satisfaction, and continued to smile and asked, "Then do you think you are powerful enough now?" ”

"Ah, did you say me?" The so-called life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, Echizen Kazuya scratched his head, and pretended to be shy: "I'm still far away!" I was almost arrested before. ”

"Hahaha, what an interesting little guy," Sarutobi Hizashi was extremely satisfied with Echizen Kazuya's performance, and he found that Echizen Kazuya had both Orochimaru's cleverness and intelligence, as well as Jiraiya's naΓ―ve and straightforward, which made people like it very much.

"Then if you are allowed to be my disciple, I will teach you and make you stronger, what do you think?" The ape Fei Ri Slash, who had made up his mind, asked solemnly.

"Really? I've heard that the Hokage is the most powerful person, are you really willing to teach me? Kazuya Echizen asked with excitement from the bottom of his heart and a trembling tone.

Echizen Kazuya knows that no matter where you are, it is very important to have a good teacher, just like Lin Lei has Grandpa Delin and Xiao Yan has Yao Lao.

Ape Fei Ri touched his beard inscrutablely, smiled and nodded.

"Hahaha, really? That's great! Echizen Kazuya also shouted excitedly, and then as if he had just reacted, he asked Yamanaka Kaichi, "By the way, Uncle Haiichi, can I learn from Grandpa Hokage?" ”

"If Hokage-sama is willing to teach you, of course you can learn from Hokage-sama, you know, this is a very rare opportunity!" Yamanaka Haiichi said with unconcealable excitement in his tone, and with some apprehension and envy.

Yamanaka Kaichi is very clear about what it means for Echizen Kazuya to follow the ape to fly and slash the sun, first of all, the three generations are known as ninjutsu professors, and they are the best at teaching disciples, which only needs to look at the few disciples before him, the legendary three ninja in the famous ninja world, all of whom are standing at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

This also means that Echizen Kazuya, who can be favored by Sarutobi, may also become a person like them in the future, and this alone can make Yamanaka Haiichi inexplicably excited.

Secondly, Sarutobi Hizashi is already old, so is it possible for Kazuya Echizen, who is his disciple, to become the next Hokage?

Even though this hope is quite slim, Yamanaka Haichi is willing to take a gamble and do his best to help Kazuya Echizen.

Because once it is realized, it will definitely be of unprecedented help to the Yamanaka family, and the Yamanaka family may even develop into a big family in Konoha like Uchiha and Hinata in one fell swoop.

"Grandpa Hokage, I want to practice with you, please accept me as a disciple!" With Yamanaka's consent, Echizen Kazuya bowed respectfully and pleaded sincerely.

"Hahaha, I didn't even think I would accept another disciple!" Sarutobi sighed heartily at first, and then said with a high spirit: "Get up Kazuya, I will definitely do my best to train you to be an excellent ninja, I hope you can always remember what you said today and protect your loved ones!" Protect your friends! Protect Konoha! Be a great ninja! ”
