Chapter 2169 Invitation (4,000 Words)

Haneda... Kazuha!

The Haneda clan...

I have never heard of this clan...

Listening to the answer of the boy in front of him, Gaara's mind automatically ran through a series of families that he had been taught since childhood, whether they were in decline, those that were determined to be completely destroyed, or those that were still active in the ninja world at this stage.

However, the intelligence network of the Kingdom of Wind, which has been operating among the major families in the ninja world for many years, does not have any records about the so-called Haneda clan.

But if it weren't for any famous family, and this Haneda Kazuha was just an ordinary person, it would be almost impossible for him to be a ninja from a small ninja village like Kusagakure.

Although Kusakure Village is a ninja who likes to study the ninjutsu of other ninja villages, after years of accumulation, it can be regarded as accumulating a lot of ninjutsu, and has also developed some unique ninjutsu that is specific to the ninjutsu of other ninja villages. In terms of technical resources, it is quite abundant.

However, compared to the Great Ninja Village, these ninjutsu may be a bit eye-catching in terms of quantity, but in terms of quality, they cannot be complimented.

The Great Ninja Village has not acquired any Ninjutsu system that is close to the core. At the same time, there is no Ninjutsu that is powerful enough. It can be said that there is only quantity but no quality. On the battlefield, numerous Ninjutsu can indeed give Great Ninjas causing trouble to the village.

However, it does not constitute a chance of victory or defeat. It is the kind that can cause trouble, but it cannot hinder the layout of the Great Ninja Village in the battle.

Looking at it now, it is a force that cannot be ignored, but it is not enough to influence the decision-making of the Great Ninja Village.

It's troublesome on the opposite side, but it's just a big help on one's own side.

And with such resources, unless Haneda Kazuha has a strong bloodline, such as a powerful blood inheritance limit, especially the physical blood inheritance limit, it is unlikely to cultivate a boy with the strength of Haneda Kazuha. Ninja.

If, in front of Gaara, there was a young man in his twenties and almost thirty years old standing in front of Gaara, with this kind of strength, Gaara would not care too much.

However, if a young ninja with such strength comes out of Xiao Ninja Village, we must pay attention to it.

If he is interested in Uchiha Sasuke because he is from the Uchiha clan and possesses genius strength, and he wants to compete with Uchiha Sasuke, then for Haneda Kazuha in front of him,

He is more afraid.

After all, he had a bigger goal in coming to Konoha this time.

Moreover, in the plan for this goal, they have received reliable news. With this goal and this plan, they will inevitably face a huge obstacle. If they cannot overcome this obstacle, then they will fall short. .

They have no choice but to fall short.

Therefore, here, he must pay more attention to this young genius who appears out of character.

He couldn't help but be afraid!

Haneda Kazuha...

I always feel like things are getting more and more interesting!

After getting the name of the mysterious boy in front of him, this thought flashed through Uchiha Sasuke's mind.

For him, what he saw was just a rising star that he could compete with and test his own strength. He didn't think as much as Gaara.

Because of this, at this moment, he only felt the strong fighting spirit and didn't think much about it.

"Let's go, Kankuro, Temari."

And at this moment, Gaara, who didn't find any information from Haneda Kazuyo's name, had no intention of staying long, turned around, said hello, and left first.

Hearing this, Kankuro and the beautiful girl with four pigtails behind him quickly followed. Not long after, they had rounded the corner and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Konohamaru, do I look weak?"

But at this time, the faint voice of the blond boy came weakly from behind Uchiha Sasuke.

At this moment, the blond boy with blue eyes was already squatting together with Konohamaru, with a gloomy and battered look on his face, and almost tearful words in his mouth, seeking comfort from Konohamaru.

"Compared to Brother Sasuke, he is still a little weaker..."

However, Konohamaru was also an upright boy and answered honestly. Although his face was full of comfort, at this time, these words and this comfort made this blond boy even more special. Pitiful.

"Ahhh! Sasuke, I won't lose to you!"

But when he heard his loyal little brother say such words, the blond and blue-eyed boy had a look of anger on his face. He suddenly jumped up, pointed at Uchiha Sasuke's back and started shouting.

"What did you do suddenly?"

Facing the shouts of the blond and blue-eyed boy, Uchiha Sasuke looked helpless and looked at his friend behind him, saying this.

"Um?"

And looking at the series of actions of these two people, the mysterious boy named Haneda Kazuha, who had been hiding in the shadow of the trees for some time, had an inexplicable smile unconsciously appear on the corner of his mouth, and something seemed to flash in his eyes. A bit of a reminiscence.

Then, his expression changed slightly and he glanced up without any trace.

And in this glance, he caught a glimpse of the tree trunk where Uchiha Sasuke was originally located. Three ninjas didn't know when, and there were four ninjas sitting and standing.

These three ninjas all have forehead protectors with musical symbols.

Sound ninja?

Um……

They are all dangerous guys...

But at this moment, a slight light flashed in the young man's eyes.

However, this light quickly disappeared in the depths of his dark eyes. At the same time, as the light disappeared, his figure seemed to slowly begin to merge with the darkness, making it impossible to notice that there was another person standing here. people.

"What do you think?"

At this time, the four ninjas on the branches obviously did not notice that there was another person standing in the shadow under their feet. At this time, they were looking at Uchiha Sasuke and the blond boy below, and the one sitting among them was A ninja with half his head covered in bandages and only one left eye exposed spoke.

"Although I don't think it's a big deal, it's just that the black-haired ninja of Konoha, the gourd-carrying one of Sunagakure, and the Kusagakure one need to pay attention to."

After hearing this sentence, the whole body of the four people standing next to the ninja was wrapped in bandages. The mummy-like ninja slowly uttered this hoarse sentence.

"snort!"

After these words were spoken, the two ninjas next to them, a man and a woman, had confident smiles on their lips.

Then, without saying much, the four of them disappeared on the branches in a flash.

Four people?...

Anyway, there is one person among them who needs to pay attention.

Sound Ninja...

There seems to be quite a difference.

After the four Sound Ninjas left, Haneda Kazuyo slowly emerged from the shadows, looked up at the direction in which the four Sound Ninjas left, and turned his eyes all the way until the four Sound Ninjas who were leaving quickly were completely stunned. After disappearing in place, he turned his gaze back to the two men who were facing each other. One was confused, the other was a furious young man, and the girl between the two young men had her eyes closed and veins pulsing.

"what is your name?"

Then, he stepped out of the shadows and spoke to the furious young man with blond hair and blue eyes.

"Why?"

Hearing this sudden sound, six astonished eyes glanced over. Uchiha Sasuke, the pink-haired girl, the Konohamaru Army, and even the blond boy himself all looked at him in astonishment. Look at this mysterious young man stepping out of the shadows and bathing in the sunshine.

"Well……"

Being stared at by so many eyes all of a sudden, Haneda Kazuyo was obviously stunned for a moment, and a hint of awkward stiffness flashed across his face.

I……

Did you say anything wrong?

And in his mind, the thought of questioning himself flashed through his mind.

This is...is this Haneda Kazuha interested in Naruto?

At this time, what was as astonishing as the expressions on their faces were the doubts in the hearts of Uchiha Sasuke and the pink-haired girl.

It's... terrible!

Actually... actually... interested in Brother Naruto.

Is this Haneda Kazuha’s brother not very discerning?

Even the three children of Konohamaru Legion were shocked.

It seemed that Kazuha Haneda in front of him actually asked the blond boy's name. As an opponent, he was blind.

"cough!"

At this moment, the blond and blue-eyed boy, who even surprised himself, finally reacted, and a smile that he thought was cool flashed across his face. Then, he coughed lightly and gave him a hand. Protecting his forehead, he showed off his identity as a Konoha ninja. Then, he crossed his chest and showed a smile that he thought was extremely radiant. His eyes were fixed on Haneda Kazuha, with a sharp look in his eyes that he thought was extremely handsome. Then, He spoke.

"Uzumaki Naruto, my name is...Uzumaki Naruto!"

His tone was full of pride, as if he was the young ninja who was as powerful as Kazuyo Haneda, who was showing extraordinary strength in front of him.

"Oh, hello, Naruto!"

However, the next second, Kazuyo Haneda nodded, and after saying hello in an extremely ordinary way, he turned his gaze to the pink-haired girl and said, "What about you? Where are you guys?"

With that said, he also asked other people.

In an instant, the blond boy named Uzumaki Naruto twitched the corner of his mouth, and his shoulders instantly dropped, feeling gloomy.

It turns out I was just asking out of politeness.

At this moment, everyone also understood and ignored the blond boy named Uzumaki Naruto who squatted down and started drawing circles. The pink-haired girl spoke first.

"My name is Haruno Sakura, a genin of Konoha."

To strangers, the pink-haired girl still maintained her cute and cute appearance, and her answers were quite appropriate.

"Konohamaru!"

"Cute yellow!"

"Udon!"

Then, there are the three children of the Konohamaru Legion.

Everyone actually has a good impression of Haneda Kazuha. Putting aside Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto's antagonism towards Haneda Kazuha, everyone is still quite polite.

"Hello, let me introduce myself again, Kazuyo Haneda, the ninja of Kusagakure Village."

In response to everyone's kind words, Haneda Kazuha bowed politely, causing Haruno Sakura and others to bow in return.

I……

Is it really that inconspicuous?

Only the blond Naruto shrank into a corner, started drawing circles, and began to question himself.

"Are you also a ninja who came to participate in the chuunin selection test?"

At this time, Haruno Sakura, who had finished her ceremony, suddenly asked.

"It shouldn't count. For the time being, I'm just an envoy from the Grass Hidden Village in the Country of Grass."

In this regard, Haneda Kazuyo thought for a moment, and then spoke shyly.

"envoy?"

Everyone was stunned by Haneda Kazuyo's words.

"Yes, this time because we in the Country of Grass failed to accept the invitation of the Third Hokage due to our own problems, I am here to submit the application for the genin of our Kusanagi Village to participate in this chunin selection. Now Haven’t heard back yet.”

In this regard, Haneda Kazuha did not hide anything and said straightforwardly.

Could it be that this guy is very innocent?

At this moment, after hearing these straightforward words, such a thought flashed through everyone's minds.

It feels like Haneda Kazuha is a bit honest.

Ask and say whatever you want, and don't shy away from it.

Generally speaking, as envoys, it is a matter between the two countries. Whether it needs to be kept confidential or not, you will not say it so frankly and directly.

"Oh, by the way, do you want to eat Ichiraku Ramen? I heard in the Land of Grass that Konoha's Ichiraku Ramen is very delicious. Moreover, the guide who kindly showed me around Konoha just now gave me some as a gift. I probably won’t be able to finish the Zhang Yile Ramen coupons by myself, do you want to eat together?”

At this time, as if he noticed the unhappy look of the gloomy Uzumaki Naruto on the side, Haneda Kazuyo seemed to have thought of something, took out a few coupons from his arms, and said.

"Ichiraku Ramen! I'm going!"

When he heard that someone was inviting him to eat Ichiraku Ramen, Uzumaki Naruto, who had a gloomy look on his face, immediately jumped up and nodded hurriedly.

This guy is actually just like Naruto, a very simple guy?

At this time, he looked at Haneda Kazuyo, and then looked at Uzumaki Naruto who nodded hurriedly, walked up to Haneda Kazuyo, hugged his shoulders, nodded and muttered "You are such a good person", and looked at the two Such a thought flashed through everyone's minds due to his personal appearance.

"Well... we're not going. Now that Naruto-chan won't play ninja games with us, then we're going to go to special training!"

But at this moment, it was the Konohamaru Legion who spoke first.

"Thank you, Brother Kazuha, thank you for saving me (Konohamaru)!"

Then, the three of them bowed politely, and then said goodbye to Uzumaki Naruto and the other three, and then left here discussing becoming stronger.

What happened to Konohamaru just now seems to have stimulated these three children.

"So?"

After watching the children leave, Haneda Kazuha looked at Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura.

"Sasuke, are you going?"

Almost subconsciously, Haruno Sakura asked Uchiha Sasuke.

"good."

As for Uchiha Sasuke, his answer was quite straightforward.

Take this opportunity to get to know Haneda Kazuha!

And when Sakura Haruno nodded hurriedly with a blush on her face and said, "If Sasuke goes, I'll go too," a thought that had nothing to do with eating ramen flashed through Sasuke Uchiha's mind.

"Then! Let's go! Ichiraku Ramen!"

After seeing Uchiha Sasuke agree, Uzumaki Naruto who couldn't wait had already pulled Haneda Kazuyo and left first.

tentatively……

Let’s talk about breaking into this group.

At this moment, Haneda Kazuha, who was caught off guard by Uzumaki Naruto's pull, had a glimmer of light in his eyes and followed step by step.

After that, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura also followed leisurely.
