Chapter 343 Meeting
"Order: Konoha Chuunin Maruboshi Kazema will serve as the captain of the Archery Brigade, and be responsible for forming the Konoha Archery Unit. The specific personnel will be recruited by Maruboshi Kazema himself, and the others will cooperate..." The masked ANBU spoke in a steady tone without a trace of emotion, like a robot, but Kazema's face looked very sour.
"This is an order from the Hokage-sama? Are you sure?"
As soon as these words came out, the Anbu turned cold and entered into combat mode: "Are you questioning the Hokage?" It was as if the next moment, they were going to give the ungrateful Kazama a good beating. Of course, the Anbu did think so. As the Anbu who inherited from the Third Hokage, although he is now loyal to the Fifth Hokage, his loyalty in his bones makes him unable to tolerate any disrespect to the Hokage. The key is that this Chunin kid in front of him, who was entrusted with such an important task by the Hokage, actually looked disgusted. His fists felt a little itchy.
"No, don't be impulsive, I'm just complaining. I've already given some advice, so why does this kind of thing still happen to me? Is Konoha deserted? They're trying to squeeze a sheep to death..." Although he seemed to be trying to calm the emotions of the Anbu, this complaint was not intolerant at all.
"......" The Anbu was silent. He had delivered orders several times. It was true that the boy in front of him was ungrateful. It was also true that the Hokage valued him highly. Now it was obvious that the subordinates were complaining to their superiors about too much work. As the CEO's security guard, should he give truthful feedback? If he didn't report, he would be suspected of concealing something. If he reported, he would be suspected of complaining behind his back. It was difficult.
"Okay, I get it. Anyway, it's just a matter of people. I'll find them, right?" Since Kazama has come up with an idea, he must have some complaints in his heart. He just doesn't want Tsunade to do things in this way that only he can do. It's tiring for the silly boy. He prefers to come up with ideas, then run away after pretending to be cool. Let others do the specific things. How easy it is.
"Teacher, Grandpa, Ichiro, Nobuko, you guys should also take a look. I have taken on a new load of things for myself." Fengjian complained to everyone with a bitter face.
"Young people need more experience, come on." This was the encouragement from the teacher in the morning. The old man smiled and didn't answer, but the meaning was almost the same. Xinzi's face was almost written with the four words "gloating". Ichiro, what do you mean, you are so distracted, didn't you notice this at all?
"Ninja technique. Summoning technique." Summoned Hataro. Hataro was now a little bigger. It might be a little bit bigger to carry a passenger, but it was easy for him to send a letter.
"Hataro, go find Hinata and tell her that I'm going to visit the Hyuga family tomorrow and need him to introduce me." Given how familiar Kazama and Hinata were, there was no need for Kazama to take the Hyuga family's visit so seriously, without any prior notification. However, this time the Hokage's mission was a public business, and since it was a matter of the village, it was better to be formal.
"No problem." Hatarou flapped his wings violently, stirring up a cloud of dust that enveloped Kazama.
"Bah, bah, bah. Stay away from me next time you take off." Kazama roared viciously at Hatarou who was soaring into the sky.
Time passed as Kazama kept thinking about the plan of the Archery Brigade. The next day, in the main house of the Hyuga Mansion, Hyuga Hiashi sat upright, accompanied by three elderly elders. Opposite him was Maruboshi Kazama who came alone for the appointment.
"I've been looking forward to this moment since I received the news from Hinata yesterday. Maruboshi Chunin is so serious. If you have anything to say, please speak frankly." The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and Hiashi prompted them to get to the point.
"Well, a few days ago, the village was invaded by outsiders. Lord Rizu knows about this, right?"
"Of course, the first people to discover the enemy's tracks were members of the Hyuga family."
"The Byakugan is truly unrivaled in terms of reconnaissance. The enemy that invaded this time was very powerful, an opponent on the same level as Hokage-sama and Jiraiya-sama. Even Kakashi-sensei was seriously injured, and it was difficult for others to even get close. Fortunately, Jiraiya-sama personally faced the enemy, so no major losses were caused."
"The enemy is so powerful?" Hiashi frowned, looking bitter and resentful, and deeply worried about Konoha's attitude.
"I was lucky enough to be involved in this fight and not get hurt."
"It seems that Lord Maruboshi's strength has reached Lord Jiraiya's level. This is really cause for celebration." Hiashi praised, and not a single word of his words could be believed to be false.
"Uncle Hiashi, can't your Byakugan tell me how strong I am? I didn't come here to talk about this." He paused and said, "I have the strength of a Chunin, but I can participate in the battles of Kage-level strongmen. It's not because I'm strong, but because of my fighting style." Kazama took out his longbow.
"The enemy was only driven away, not eliminated. Moreover, Lord Hokage has received intelligence that the intruders are from a secret organization lurking in the ninja world. This organization is not large in scale, but each member is a Kage-level fighter. The two enemies who came this time were fortunately stopped by us, but what about the next time? It is impossible to guard against thieves for a thousand days only if you are a thief."
"Please report to Lord Hokage that the Hyuga clan will increase patrols and ensure that the enemy will not be given any opportunity to take advantage." Hyuga Hiashi immediately made a statement. As the only large clan still existing in the village, the Hyuga clan was too conspicuous. Hiashi was afraid of becoming a target, so he immediately made a statement and stated his position.
"I'll trouble you, Lord Hiashi, for this. The Inuzuka clan, the little girl clan, and the ANBU will all be involved." Having said that, Kazama took out Tsunade's order scroll and handed it to Hiashi.
Ri Zu was stunned for a moment, then took it: "This is..." Ri Zu raised his head from the scroll, his eyes shining brightly.
"The Hyuga clan's chance has come." He picked up the teacup and took a sip. The Hyuga family's laborious way of brewing tea to entertain guests tasted a bit bitter and he didn't like it very much.
"The archery troop was inspired by my participation in the battle. He believed that my fighting style could make up for the shortcomings of traditional combat to some extent. So he used me and Hinata as a template to form a large-scale long-range archery troop to deal with possible invading enemies, whether it is a possible war in the future or the powerful enemies a few days ago. In terms of personnel, the first person I thought of was the Hyuga clan. After all, the Byakugan and the bow and arrow are a perfect match."
“This…” Facing Kazama’s complete disclosure, Hiashi felt himself trembling all over. The Hyuga clan claimed to be the strongest ninja clan in Konoha, but their own family knew their own business. The Hyuga clan was actually not much better than other ninja clans. They lacked high-end combat power and had a low share of power in the village. If it weren’t for their large number of people, the title of the strongest would never have fallen on them before the demise of the Uchiha clan.
"What kind of manpower does Lord Maruboshi need? The Hyuga clan will fully support us." Hiashi was so decisive that he made the final decision without even consulting the three accompanying elders. Several elders obviously wanted to interrupt, but Hiashi just gave them a glance and made them shut up.
"Haha, Rizu has been the clan leader for a long time, and he has great power and authority." He exclaimed in his heart.
