Undercurrent of Konoha

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Hatake Kakashi, and I am the ANBU captain of Konoha Hidden Village. Heiji, welcome to join the ANBU."

Kakashi stretched out his right hand and held Heiji's right hand tightly together. The right eye exposed outside the mask had smiled into a crescent shape.

Heiji was still a little confused.

For something as important and mysterious as joining ANBU, shouldn't there be some sense of ceremony? Even if it's just a decent work permit...

Just by relying on the Third Hokage's half-joking words like "the dark attribute seems to go well with the ANBU", he officially joined the ANBU of Konoha Hidden Village?

"You don't have to be surprised." The Third Hokage smiled and said: "Among the peers in the entire village, only you and Uzumaki Naruto can be friends. And you have been secretly observing and reporting Naruto's movements to me. This is the ANBU mission. Kind of."

The Third Hokage looked back at Kakashi and said, "Uzumaki Naruto is about to graduate from the ninja school, right?"

Kakashi nodded: "The work of dividing into classes has been completed. Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sakura Haruno have been assigned to class seven."

The Third Hokage pondered for a moment and said, "It hasn't been announced yet...replace Haruno Sakura and add Heiji."

"This...I'm afraid it won't work." Kakashi glanced at Heiji and wondered: "Each class has two boys and one girl, and Heiji is a boy."

The Third Hokage slapped his head and said with a smile: "Heiji is a fair-looking boy with a delicate and delicate appearance. I often forget that he is a boy, haha..."

Heiji: "..."

Kakashi: "..."

The Third Hokage thought for a moment and said: "Then change him to Inuzuka Kiba's class and form a team with Hyuga Hinata and Inuzuka Kiba. Aburame Shino will directly join the ANBU... A few days ago, Danzo, the old man The ghost is eyeing the child Shino and wants him to join the 'Gen'. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it is also a kind of protection for him to classify him into the ANBU in advance."

When Kakashi heard the words Danzo and "Gen", he couldn't help but frown slightly and murmured: "It's better not to join an organization like 'Gen'..."

When he came out of the Anbu, Heiji already had a black metal leaf on his body, with the logo of Konoha Hidden Village engraved on it. This was also Heiji's identity as a member of the Konoha Anbu.

Carefully hiding the black leaf close to his body in his breast pocket, Heiji seemed to have grown a lot, and even his steps became calmer.

In the ANBU building, the Third Hokage's entire head was shrouded in thick white smoke.

His old face could not hide a faint smile.

"Sandaime-sama, why did you lie to him and say that the metal leaf was the ANBU symbol of Konoha Hidden Village?"

On Kakashi's face, the exposed right eye could not hide the deep smile.

The Third Hokage sighed softly and smiled bitterly: "He is still a child...and he is a child who needs a sense of ritual in his life. For 12 years, he has not even had a decent birthday. And I, always too busy……"

……

In the early morning, Heiji carefully followed a chuunin and arrived at a large lecture hall.

There was a terrifying scar on this chuunin's face, which was three inches long on both sides of his nose.

However, such a terrifying scar did not make this face appear even a trace of ferocious terror.

On the contrary, this is the kindest-looking chuunin Heiji has ever seen in Konoha Hidden Village.

"Iruka-sensei is here!"

I don't know who suddenly shouted, and the originally noisy classroom suddenly became quiet.

Heiji stood at the door of the classroom and looked at the familiar faces quietly.

Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Inomasa had nymphomaniac expressions on their faces, surrounding the stern-faced Uchiha Sasuke.

Around Sasuke, there were seven or eight fangirls with online looks and low IQs...

Nara Shikamaru still looked sleepy, struggling to keep his sleepy eyes open and yawning listlessly.

Akimichi Choji was sitting next to Shikamaru, throwing potato chips into his mouth all the time, as if nothing around him could interfere with him enjoying the delicious snacks.

Naruto...where did Naruto go?

Heiji searched for a long time and finally saw a familiar figure squatting on Uchiha Sasuke's desk.

The two were engaged in a fierce confrontation with their eyes, refusing to give in at all.

Inuzuka Kiba, who was sitting in the front row, bumped Naruto's butt with his elbow and reminded: "Hey——! You idiot, Mr. Iruka is here!"

"what--!"

"My God—!"

"what happened?"

……

Loud screams sounded one after another, and without exception, they were all screams from the little fans in the class.

In full view of everyone, Naruto and Sasuke actually had a solid boar because his body was out of balance.

Spicy eyes.

It's not just an eyesore, it's an eyesore...

Heiji stood at the door of the classroom. Seeing such a shocking scene, he was a little confused...

How much mental quality does it take to be friends with Naruto?

Otherwise, when you enter the classroom later, pretend that you don't know him first, and wait until the limelight is over...

"Heiji! Why are you here!"

If possible, Heiji would like to turn around and run away immediately, or just find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

But it's too late.

Naruto had already seen Heiji, grabbed his slender and weak arm, and forced him into the classroom.

"You always say that I have no friends! How about it? My good friend, Heiji, he is here today!"

Naruto proudly pushed Heiji in front of everyone, with a show-off smile on his face.

Heiji lowered his eyes, and his face couldn't help but feel hot.

"I was tricked by Naruto on my first official appearance... It's embarrassing... It's so embarrassing. Oh, who made me have such a crazy friend..."

Naruto hadn't been proud for more than three seconds when he suddenly said "Ouch" and let out a painful wail.

Iruka had a frosty look on his face, twisting Naruto's ear with his right hand and pulling him away from Heiji.

"Naruto! You are being naughty again! This is Heiji, a transfer student in our class, graduating in the same period as you."

As soon as Iruka took action, he completely suppressed Naruto's arrogance, and then he did not forget to introduce the identity of Heiji's transfer student to the whole class.

"Is he Heiji, the orphan without a father and a mother?"

"He is so thin, his skin is so fair, and his facial features are even more delicate than those of a girl..."

"He is so pitiful. He has been bullied by the kids in the village. Why did he suddenly become a ninja?"

……

The class that had been quiet just now was once again filled with all kinds of whispers and became noisy.

The strange thing is that most of the people who made the noise were girls in the class. They were attracted by Heiji's delicacy and delicateness at first sight.

This kind of attraction with a hint of feminine beauty is even more difficult to extricate the young girl's heart than the cool attraction of Uchiha Sasuke.
