Chapter 259: Habara's Decision and Kakashi's Action
Early the next morning, Hahara was ready to go to work in the security department.
He has been absent from work for a day. Although he knows that no one will trouble him for such a trivial matter, that is because outsiders will not trouble him.
There is still someone in the security department who can make Han Yuan feel embarrassed and troubled, and this person is Yanye.
Yan Ye has been working in the security department for many years, and she is very capable. Ha Yuan will directly leave many things to her.
Yan Ye is naturally dissatisfied with this kind of thing, but no matter how dissatisfied she is, she will help Han Yuan settle all these matters, at least not causing any trouble to Han Yuan.
It's just that Yan Ye is not someone to be trifled with. She will naturally leave pitfalls for Han Yuan in many places. There are probably many things that Han Yuan needs to handle properly.
Hahara was both amused and helpless about this situation, but he really couldn't find any problem. After all, the current security department was too big.
Many things are so important that if it were others to do them, they simply wouldn't be able to do them.
He even said bluntly that they didn't even dare to do it, so Hahara needed to do it himself.
Habara had nothing to do about this, at least until he did not plan to reduce the security department's business capabilities, he could only handle these matters properly.
Of course, Hahara did not reduce the business authority of the Security Department. This was something that the Second Hokage left to their Uchiha, so why should he reduce it?
There is a saying that goes well, if you don't have the ability, just have friendly consultations. If you have the ability, just have friendly consultations. Since ancient times.
In the past, the Uchiha had no ability, and they had some problems with their own brains. As a result, the powers of the Security Department had never been fully implemented and used.
Habara is in control of all this now. He has the ability, rights and strength. Naturally, he has "had these rights since the establishment of the Security Department", and he will not cut them off.
"I don't know what trouble Yan Ye is going to cause me again this time. It's really..."
Hahara sighed as he walked. He seemed to have a headache, but while he was having a headache, he was also thinking about something seriously.
"It seems that things between Yan Ye and I should go further, otherwise many people may not be able to bear it."
Hahara is now twenty-one and almost twenty-two years old. For members of a large family, his age has long passed the age for engagement or even marriage.
The big family experienced the darkest years of the Warring States Period. At that time, the average life expectancy was only thirty-four years old, or even younger.
Therefore, in order to maintain their own inheritance, all major families marry at a very young age. Even when Konoha was established, they only changed the age of engagement.
Habara was not engaged when he was sixteen years old, it was entirely because he did not choose a side at all, and he behaved very un-Uchiha, so over time he was forgotten.
He was the only one who made everyone aware of his existence, but at that time the family was in a life-and-death situation, and Hahara didn't have the time, and the others also didn't have the time.
Therefore, he hid again, and this time he hid until he became the clan leader, and his strength was at the top of the family. He no longer listened to what others said.
This embarrassing situation has been going on for so many years, and everyone knows that the patriarch of the Uchiha clan seems to have an excessively good relationship with a girl from the Nara clan.
And based on the principle of strong alliances, they could only acquiesce in this matter, and even the most conservative Uchiha clan could only admit it.
It's just that they also feel that Habara's bloodline should be passed down in the family. Anyway, there is no rule in the ninja world that you can only marry one person.
For the sake of family inheritance, it wouldn't be a big deal to let Hahara resolve her emotional problems before marrying someone in the family.
But the problem was that Hahara's life began to deteriorate in the following years.
Although his relationship with the girl from the Nara clan has been moving forward steadily, there has been no substantial progress at all.
This immediately made everyone extremely anxious. They had no idea what the leader of the Uchiha clan was thinking.
The Uchiha clan has been waiting for the new clan leader's child and for him to establish a better relationship with the Nara clan.
Wait for him to deal with his emotional issues so that he can consider the continuation of the family bloodline.
The Nara clan is also anxious, especially Nara Shikagi, who is almost dying of anxiety. After all, it is his daughter who has been dragged along.
If it had been anyone else, he would have come to visit me long ago, or directly released the news - my daughter is getting a little old and it's time to get married.
But the problem is that he met Habara, a man known as the legend of the ninja world. How dare he do this!
According to Nara Shikaku and Hahara's complaints, Hahara knew that this uncle Shikashiro had annoyed his daughter Kotonoha to death.
It was impossible for Ye to cause trouble for Han Yuan because of this kind of thing, so they were all holding it back.
When Nara Shikaki saw that Kotonoha had no choice, he could only try Nara Shikaku to see if he could think of a way.
But unfortunately, Nara Shikaku was helpless. All he could do was to tell Habara these things in a more subtle way.
And Hahara is also a human spirit, how could he not understand the meaning?
"It's just that I didn't expect that after traveling through time, I could still experience the constant urge to get married in my previous life. This is really confusing."
Han Yuan does feel a little confused. It's not that he has no feelings for Yan Ye. On the contrary, he does like this smart girl. It's just that he doesn't have that idea for the time being.
He has never been an ascetic, and he is the kind of person who recognizes that desire drives people's progress. How could he deny the existence of desire?
It's just that he has a lot to do and has many problems to deal with, especially in terms of strength, which makes him dare not relax at all.
The current ninja world is not the ninja world in his memory. It is already in a mess. If there is no strength, who knows what the future will be like.
Therefore, he has always focused most of his energy on improving himself, and he doesn't care so much about other things.
But in this situation, he felt that he should at least express something, whether it was out of his own feelings or the needs of the various family forces.
"I have now started to fuse the five types of chakra, and it only takes time to complete it. Although I have obtained the castrated version of Yin Yang Dun, I also have ideas.
So now it’s time to give an explanation to others, otherwise I might not be able to cope with it myself.”
Hahara was thinking in his mind, and decided to find a time today to talk to Kotonoha and Nara Shikaku.
"Um?"
But before he had time to think clearly, an ANBU suddenly came to him. The ANBU quickly knelt on the ground and whispered.
"Habara-sama, Hokage-sama, please come to the Hokage's office immediately."
"Is this so? I understand."
Hahara nodded slightly. Although he was a little surprised that Jiraiya was so anxious, a smile appeared on the corner of Hahara's lips.
Because he knew what was going on with him this time...
...
"Hokage-sama, what do you want from me?"
Habara gently pushed open the door of Hokage's office, and he said with a smile.
At this time, the Flame Office was already filled with people, to be precise, everyone including Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the heads of the other six major families.
Seeing this scene, Hahara was even more sure of their purpose in finding him this time, that is, they had already made a decision!
To be honest, it was really not easy to make this decision, especially since they were not as inhuman beings as Danzo.
Moreover, including Han Yuan and the other six major families, they all know one thing, that is, they are actually usurpers.
No matter how well they beautify themselves, don't others understand that they don't understand themselves?
They have already made a start. If they don't care about the people below, who knows if someone will push them away in the future.
Therefore, it is their consensus to have a relationship with the people below, at least to avoid a guy who responds to everything, so that they can have a good life and avoid setting their own chairs on fire.
That's why they have such a hard time making decisions, and that's why Hahara just throws the problem out. It's rare for him to do these things.
No matter how strong they are, Konoha cannot be supported by just their family. Without people, would Konoha still be Konoha?
"It seems that everyone has made a decision."
Hahara found a seat and walked over and sat down. He showed a smile and said slowly.
"So, I don't know what your plans are."
"This is a really dangerous thing, and it's really hard for people to make a decision."
Jiraiya sighed slightly, and then he spoke very seriously.
"So I hope you can do a secret vote, we don't need to write our names, and we don't need to leave too many traces.
I asked someone to print some forms, and I put a circle on those who agreed, and a slash on those who disagreed.
Everyone, there is no option to abstain this time. Abstaining means consent by default. I hope everyone can make a choice that follows their inner decision!"
Jiraiya expressed his thoughts, and this thought also shocked everyone present. This guy was forced to have no choice but to turn around and force them to express their stance.
Even Tsunade looked at Jiraiya in surprise, because she didn't expect Jiraiya to actually use such a move.
However, no one present refuted Jiraiya, but felt that he finally showed some of Hokage's courage.
This anonymous approach can prevent one's true thoughts from being known to others during this difficult decision-making moment, and at least there is no need to worry about affecting other people.
Similarly, even if your vote fails afterwards, it will be too embarrassing. This approach is beneficial to everyone.
It's just this way of forcing people to express their opinions, which makes people a little speechless.
"I have no problem, I agree."
Ha Yuan thought for a moment, then raised his hand to express that it was no problem.
"The cause of this incident is me. I'm sorry for making everyone so embarrassed. Now that Hokage-sama proposes such a choice, I naturally have no reason to object. I agree."
"I don't have a problem either, I agree."
Nara Shikaku also raised his hand to express that there was no problem. Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Kai raised their hands as soon as they saw this.
Others basically knew that this matter had been decided, so they simply raised their hands. After all, they could get this matter done today, and they could have a good sleep.
This incident is really very torturous, and on the other hand, it is the loss that Konoha may face.
Especially a war on their own land is really scary, and they don't know what the enemy will be like.
On the one hand, there are completely visible future benefits. After all, Konoha can be tempered, and there are also excuses and claims that Konoha can get.
When these two are combined, no matter who they are, they will be tortured to the point of numbness.
This matter must be settled once and for all today, so they naturally have no reason to object.
Soon, Jiraiya had someone take out the documents, and then they each found a corner to fill in their own ideas.
This process is very long because everyone is thinking over and over again when filling it out.
After almost half an hour, they put all the tickets into a sealed box.
After everyone's votes were mixed up, Jiraiya was ready to announce it.
"Have you read the contents again?"
While waiting, Hahara suddenly looked at Hinata Hiashi beside him in a funny way, and asked in a low voice.
"Chief Hahara, I didn't look at it."
Hinata Hizu shook his head. He knew that Hahara was joking, so he smiled back without caring.
He is in good spirits now because he has solved a big problem for the Hyuga clan.
Although it is very sad that he is now a loner in the Hyuga clan, and his eldest daughter Hinata seems to make him a little helpless and uncomfortable.
But no matter what, he found his younger brother, and the problems within the family were resolved in a phased manner, and he had no reason to be unhappy.
Even though he is a little lonely now, overall it is still acceptable.
"That's really a pity. If it were me, I might not be able to bear it anymore."
Habara lightly shrugged, and then he looked at Nara Shikaku. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"Boss Shikaku, maybe I'm going to visit your house in a few days."
"oh?"
Nara Shikaku turned his head and gave Habara a strange look, and soon he smiled and nodded.
"No problem, Minister Hahara is coming, of course we welcome him."
"However, I hope Uncle Lucheng can be there when I go there."
Habara's words immediately made Nara Shikaku's eyes light up slightly, and Hinata Hiashi on the side also immediately understood what Habara meant.
This is Hahara's statement. This is the first time that Hahara has given a complete statement on his own affairs!
After thinking about this matter, Hinata Hinata couldn't help but feel a little envious of Nara Shikaku. After all, Hahara's intimidating power in the entire Konoha is really incredible.
At this moment, Nara Shikaku could be regarded as breathing a sigh of relief to his brother. What they feared most was that Habara kept dragging him.
Now that Habara has given a positive response, how could they be unhappy?
"Then, I will be waiting for the arrival of Minister Hahara." Nara Shikaku showed a knowing smile: "Everyone will be there then, please rest assured, Minister Hahara."
"That's good." Hahara nodded slightly, but when he wanted to say something else, Jiraiya had already completed the statistics.
He stood up and glanced at everyone, then he said in a solemn tone.
"Everyone, the statistics have come out. There are five votes in favor of the action and four votes against it, so we will carry out this action!
Everyone, now that the decision has been made, I am afraid that we will need to work harder next. We must sort out all the things that may be foreseeable.
Moreover, we must make all plans and arrangements, the future of Konoha depends on you all!"
.......
In the Land of Waves, Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke and Kaoru were in a small house. In their hands were all kinds of information they had collected in the past few days.
This information basically covers various situations about Cardo, including his men and the things his men have done.
To put it bluntly, after seeing this information, Naruto almost rushed to Cardo's hometown to kill this guy.
Even Zuosuke and Xianglin, who were relatively calm, had their blood pressure soaring at this moment.
They have indeed experienced very brutal battles and executed many things that made them feel physically uncomfortable.
But Cardo was obviously something beyond their imagination. This guy not only made people feel physically uncomfortable, but also inspired their murderous intentions.
This guy not only caused a lot of things in the Country of Waves, but also caused terrible scenes in other places where polygamists were separated.
But such a guy relied on his wealth to recruit countless ninjas to protect him. As a result, a villain like him is still alive today.
This kind of thing is basically impossible to see in Konoha, and it is even impossible to see it in the Fire Country, Grass Country and Yu Country controlled by Konoha.
The Daimyo of the Fire Country completely obeyed Konoha's instructions and instructions. In order to show his attitude, he directly laid off all the troops belonging to the Fire Country.
All his security work was done by Konoha, and Konoha definitely did not treat him badly.
Whether his business is good or his local prestige among the people, Konoha spares no effort to help him improve it.
Therefore, the two parties formed a harmonious situation, and even directly helped him get the title of daimyo of Yuno Country and Kusano Country for convenience.
This also gave this young daimyo of the Fire Country a huge reputation among ordinary people, and everyone also knew that there was the Leaf Village behind the Fire Country.
Therefore, in the area under Konoha's jurisdiction, everyone is basically living a good life. Now that a guy like Kado suddenly appears, Naruto and the others can't stand it.
"Now the situation is basically confirmed, they have time to take action, and the necessary evidence has been obtained."
Kakashi knew that these three little guys were not in a good mood, so he didn't talk too much.
"So we are ready to take action. I know you are unhappy, but as ninjas you must maintain your proper qualities.
Calmness is the greatest virtue of a ninja. Only by being calm enough can you do more things and solve all these problems.
So this time I decided to group up. We must ensure that the task this time is completed smoothly, and at the same time, we must ensure that no major problems occur.
Do you have any objections?"
Kakashi was very polite in what he said, mainly because the people behind these three little guys were not easy to mess with. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't be so polite.
But to be polite, the strength of these three little guys was also recognized by him.
Being capable and having a sufficient family background, Kakashi felt that it was no big deal to be soft-spoken when necessary.
"No, Kakashi-sensei."
Zuosuke and the other three nodded immediately, they couldn't wait for a long time.
The three of them are all ninjas with blood on their hands, so they have no mental obstacles if they really want to take action against Cardo.
Even now they really want to strangle Kado to death. This guy is a disaster when he is alive, and only in death can he benefit mankind!
"Very good, in that case, Zuosuke, Naruto, you are responsible for raiding Cardo's stronghold, no problem."
Kakashi smiled and said directly, but as soon as he said these words, Xiang Rin felt a little reluctant.
"Kakashi-sensei, we are a team of three, let the two of them act together, what about me?"
"You stay here."
Kakashi said directly, his expression became a little serious.
"When we move, it's hard to say whether someone will attack here, so I need someone to stay here to deal with those attacks.
Xianglin, you are the only one in the team who has super perception, although keeping you here is a bit overkill.
But your perception can predict their arrival in advance, and more people can be protected here, and only you can do this!"
"That's it, I understand."
Xianglin couldn't help but nodded slightly when she heard Kakashi's words. Then she still felt that it was a pity to stay here, but she didn't complain.
"Of course, we also have to consider whether they will come."
Kakashi continued to smile and said, Xiang Rin's ability cannot be wasted, and he handed Xiang Rin a kunai.
"If they come, after the interception is completed, you will support Zuosuke and the others.
If they don't come, wait for half an hour, then leave the shadow clone here and set off to support Zuosuke and them.
Your shadow clone is responsible for transmitting information to me, do you understand?"
"No problem, Kakashi-sensei."
Xianglin nodded immediately and said, and then she quickly took the kunai.
The biggest gain from their investigation this time, apart from Kado's evidence, was the time when Zabuza and their actions took place. Although this time was very rough, they could basically guess a rough idea.
Therefore, they can also make some rough inferences and preparations for these times, so that they can take the lead!
"As for me, I will wait on the bridge for Zabuza to come over."
Kakashi's eyes began to become a little solemn and cold at this moment. He looked slightly outside, and then spoke slowly.
"Don't worry, it won't take long to deal with them. Sasuke and Naruto will also hold my kunai.
Anytime you encounter any trouble that you can't handle, I can provide immediate support.
Don't worry, I won't be late..."
...
Early the next morning, Kakashi took Tatsuna alone and headed towards the half-built bridge again.
Although Kakashi was the only one, Dazuna didn't care, because these Konoha ninjas were always elusive these days.
He didn't know what these Konoha ninjas were going to do, but he was in a good mood now because his bridge was finally completed!
"We, the Country of Waves, are a small island country, surrounded by the sea, and this bridge is the only lifeline we can count on.
If it can be repaired, it will lead directly to the Land of Fire, and then mutual trade will be facilitated, and people who want to come to the country will also become rich."
Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Dazuna introduced Kakashi about the bridge as he walked. You must know that before this, he didn't dare to let out a fart.
"Congratulations then."
Kakashi stood on the bridge and looked out, with the endless sea on both sides. He couldn't help but smile and said.
But soon, Kakashi suddenly spoke again, and his topic this time seemed a bit profound.
"By the way, I don't know if you know about the Country of Grass and the Country of Tang."
"I have learned about those two places. I heard that Konoha got them by defeating Iwagakure and Kumogakure.
Those two places are now said to be very good, but I don’t know the details, after all, I have never been there.”
Dazna smiled and replied that he really didn't know much about the current situation in these two places.
"There, the living conditions are the same as those of the residents of the Land of Fire. After all, they are protected by Konoha."
Kakashi turned his head and looked at Tazuna, who still kept a smile and said.
"In this world, in this chaotic world, you must have enough power to protect yourself.
And the power to protect you needs to know how to protect you, know how to sympathize with you, and know how to let you live a peaceful life.
Konoha was founded because of this, and the residents of the Land of Fire feel it, as do the residents of the Land of Grass and the Land of Yu that we also obtained.
The Country of Waves is too small, and even if you build a ninja village, you can't protect yourselves, so some problems really can't be solved by just building a bridge."
"you....."
Tatsuna was not stupid. Kakashi's words immediately made him realize something, but he opened his mouth slightly and didn't know how to answer.
Dazna actually has a relatively clear idea of what life is like for the residents of the Fire Country, because he has spent some time in the Fire Country.
The place also left a deep impression on him, because there were no bandits or robbers, let alone scum like Cardo.
The people there are protected by Konoha, and any tasks they have can be directly entrusted to Konoha.
Such a safe and peaceful environment has always been his dream, and it is also the dream of the entire country of waves.
And now that Kakashi said such words, it really made him feel a little moved inside. Could it be...
"Okay, let's end the small talk."
Kakashi didn't say much, he looked at the bridge in front of him and said.
"It doesn't look like there's much left. If you work harder, it should be repaired soon."
"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens."
Dazna hesitated to speak, but in the end he could only nod his head and said.
"Under my design and command, this bridge can be built in a few months, but it's a pity... ugh!"
During the conversation between the two, fog suddenly appeared on the bridge. At first there was only a very small fog, but it quickly deepened and gradually enveloped the entire bridge.
"Um?"
When Tazuna saw such mist, his face suddenly became a little ugly, because he recalled the scene when he was attacked by Zabuza!
Kakashi tilted his head and looked in the other direction, and finally he couldn't help but shake his head.
"We just stepped onto the bridge and we lost our composure so quickly. We really don't have the patience."
"Humph, you have been impatient to get on the bridge since you just arrived at someone else's house. Kakashi, who is so impatient?"
A low sound sounded, and it was impossible to tell from which direction it came.
"Oh, it turns out you guys have been peeping." Kakashi shrugged, his tone not too concerned.
It was at this moment that four Zabuza clones appeared beside them, staring at them with emotionless eyes, holding beheading swords in their hands, like the god of death.
"Kakashi, I admit that you are very powerful, and your Flying Thunder God Technique is also unpredictable."
Zabuza's voice came again, his voice sounded so cold.
"But if you think that I am so scared, you are totally wrong. You are not the Fourth Hokage, and you will never become the Fourth Hokage!"
"I'm not my teacher in the first place, what's the point of saying this?"
Kakashi sighed, then shook his head slightly before continuing.
"But I didn't take it seriously last time. You couldn't even deal with my disciple easily. I really can't think of any reason why you should take me so seriously.
But after all, you are also one of the Seven Kirigakure Ninja Swordsmen, so I still have to give you the respect you deserve.
Even if he is just a rebellious nin, he is still a rebellious nin who serves a guy like Cardo like a lost dog."
"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"
"You are really arrogant!"
Zabuza suddenly became angry and angry. Kakashi's taunt made him hate it extremely, because it completely touched his sore spot.
As a rebellious ninja, he was already like a lost dog, and serving Cardo was even more embarrassing for him.
But for his livelihood and his dream, he had to cooperate with Cardo because he had no choice.
Kakashi revealed it directly without any politeness, which really made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Kakashi looked at Zabuza and shook it gently. The next moment, he stabbed the kunai in his hand continuously, and all the clones turned into water at the same time, giving Zabuza almost no chance to react.
And when he finished all this, he spoke quietly.
"I told Dazna just now and I will tell you again now that the time for small talk is over.
Also, call out the guy who took you away at that time, you don’t really think you can deceive me, do you?”
When Zabuza heard Kakashi's words, his expression became even more gloomy, but he soon waved his hand, and then a masked figure slowly walked out.
And with his appearance, the air seemed to become colder...
