Naruto Ultimate Sasa

The Third Hokage had long received the news from the Daimyo, but he had always adopted a 'delay' policy.

Considering that the daimyo has been passed down for so long, no daimyo in the Fire Country has ever been assassinated to death, which shows that the daimyo in the Fire Country are safe.

Then this matter of forming a "Daimyo Guard Force" is worth pondering.

Now that the Fire Temple has come to visit in person, Sarutobi Hiruzen can no longer refuse.

"Of course Konoha Village supports the Daimyo unconditionally."

Every year, Konoha Village asks for a lot of funds from the daimyo, especially during the war in the past few years, when the daimyo mansion was almost emptied out, it must support the daimyo unconditionally.

"It's just that we are still selecting candidates, and we haven't found the right one for a while."

Di Lu put his hands together and recited a Buddhist name.

"The Fire Temple already has a candidate, a young monk. This time he comes here to follow the daimyo's request and join the ninjas selected by the Leaf Village."

Compared to Konoha Village, the Fire Temple in the Land of Fire has no right to refuse a daimyo and can only obey orders honestly.

Seeing that the Hokage remained silent, Jilu continued: "The ANBU named Kakashi just now can do it. I believe he can complete this kind of task."

Just after Kakashi left, a rebellious boy in adolescence came to the door of the Hokage's office. Originally, the third Hokage inside was just going home for dinner, but he overheard the conversation inside.

Although he is still in adolescence and is a rebellious young man, his development is not slow at all. The ancestral beard of the Sarutobi family has begun to take shape.

That's right, the one inside is his father, he is Sarutobi Hiruzen's youngest son 'Sarutobi Asuma'.

This is why he stood in front of the Hokage's office without anyone stopping him.

In the past, the Third Hokage was busy with government affairs and neglected his education. When the Fourth Hokage was the village chief, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally had more time to spend time with his family and educate his young son. During that period, Sarutobi Asuma did restrain himself a lot, but not long after, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third Hokage, took over again.

Sarutobi Asuma didn't understand what this father wanted at all?His daily behavior also started to become more rebellious.

But after hearing the conversation inside, Sarutobi Asuma's mind became active. Normally, his father wouldn't let him leave the village at all. Could he take this opportunity to go out?And being the bodyguard of the Fire Country Daimyo is much better than his brother who has been serving as the Hokage's bodyguard in ANBU.

Hearing that the person inside actually wanted to choose Kakashi, Sarutobi Asuma couldn't accept it, so he opened the door and rushed in.

Sarutobi Asuma has always been overwhelmed by a ninja named 'Kakashi' since he was a child. No matter what he does, he can never compare to Kakashi. It is the same when compared with his peers. He is neither top nor bottom. He is an ordinary ninja, but he is the son of the Hokage. This kind of thing is difficult to accept.

Just using the 'Guardian Daimyo' to leave the village, Kakashi can't be the first to do this.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Asuma who suddenly barged in without any surprise. From the moment he stood at the door, Sarutobi Hiruzen already knew of his existence.

Maybe if the younger son goes to Daming Mansion to stay for a while, he might understand his father's choice, right?

"Lord Hokage, I want to be the Daimyo's exclusive bodyguard."

Calling his father Hokage-sama also expresses his prejudice.

"This is my son, Sarutobi Asuma. Please don't mind if I'm a little presumptuous. He's about the same age as you and is not weak in strength. How about letting him go to Daming Mansion with you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Chiriku gave a brief explanation and agreed to Asuma's request.

Asuma was stunned for a moment. Although he had been determined to go just now, he didn't expect that his father would agree so easily. Did he just want his youngest son to leave the Leaf Village?

Jilu didn't show any displeasure. The purpose of his coming was to take the candidates from Konoha Village to the Daming Mansion. As for his strength, he didn't care at all, as long as someone went.

Especially the 'precocious' youthful and rebellious boy in front of him is the son of the Third Hokage. Even if he is just a genin, I believe the daimyo will be very happy to accept him.

"Then it's settled. This matter will be done sooner rather than later. It's best to leave within three days, otherwise we will miss the time."

Sarutobi Asuma didn't know whether he was angry or just being playful and said directly: "Let's go now!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face showed a rare expression of embarrassment: "Asuma, don't make trouble, say goodbye to your friends today, and it won't be too late to set off tomorrow."

After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Asuma calmed down.

'Emotional intelligence'

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi used his 'friend' to persuade Sarutobi Asuma, otherwise it would have really not ended well.

I just hope Asuma can understand the meaning of 'ninja', 'Hokage' and 'daimyo' in the Daimyo Mansion.

Seeing that their family matters had been settled, Jilu continued, "There is actually one small thing to do when we come to Konoha Village..."

"But it doesn't matter"

"Recently, a group of bandits came to the mountain next to the Fire Temple and robbed passing merchants and pilgrims. As a result, there is almost no incense in the Fire Temple recently. They came to Konoha to issue a mission to 'eliminate the surrounding bandits'."

"Because the Fire Temple is full of monks, it's really hard to do these fighting and killing things, so I leave it to the Leaf Village. The reward will not be less."

When it comes to tasks, Sarutobi Hiruzen is much more skilled.

"Are there any ninjas among these bandits?"

"There are a few wandering samurai, probably at the level of genin."

"Do they have backers or powerful ninjas? How many are there?"

"It's just a group of wandering bandits, about a dozen people, without any backers or powerful ninjas."

Sarutobi Hiruzen already understood in his heart.

"The mission level is B level, and the mission amount is 15 taels."

We are all residents of the Fire Country. Even brothers have to settle accounts, let alone issue a mission?Ninjas fight with their lives on the line, so they should be paid enough.

Di Lu was also a little surprised when he heard 15 taels. He was not too surprised, but felt that it was too little. One life of a dozen bandits was only worth 1 taels?

1 taels can only buy three detonating charms. Isn't this too worthless?

He recited a Buddhist name in a low voice, which was considered a salvation for those bandits.

Seriously, he took out 15 taels of silver notes from his pocket and placed them on the table.

"Then the young monk will go out first. If you are sure to leave for Daming Mansion tomorrow, I will come here in advance to wait for you in the morning."

Of course, the latter sentence was said to Sarutobi Asuma, who nodded stiffly.

After seeing this, Jilu walked out of the Hokage Building, leaving an independent space for the father and son.
