Naruto: First Love

Chapter 98 Worrying Blindly

Anbu affiliated with the Hokage?
Huo Wu suddenly realized. That’s what she had said. The Third Generation usually took good care of her, so why would he agree to let her join the Anbu? It turned out that he had already thought of a way out for her.

The official head of the Anbu is Danzo, and all Anbu members are under his charge, but the Hokage is the village chief, and we can't let the Anbu become independent, right? We have to have some talented people in our hands to feel at ease.

Kakashi was a member of the Anbu under the Hokage, right? He obeyed the orders of the Hokage.

But Kakashi's status in the Anbu... doesn't seem to be very good. Even the Anbu under the Hokage is probably not much better. It's a dark place. Does she really want to go?

"Kakashi has already told me about what happened that day. Danzo wants you to join the Anbu, perhaps he guessed your identity." The third generation thought about it and decided to tell Huo Wu the reason for this.

Danzo didn't come to ask him, but he knew about it because Danzo sent people to investigate Huo Wu's information.

Since the investigation has begun, suspicions must have already begun.

There was very little information about Huo Wu, and for Huo Wu's safety, he did not create any detailed files at the time.

However, when Jianhua came back that day and introduced himself at the entrance of the village, he was afraid that someone would hear him, or the two gatekeepers were not careful and did not know Jianhua's identity, and if they told others, someone with ulterior motives would remember him.

Only the elders in Konoha Village know who Sarutobi Mahana is, and only those in high positions know the identity of Sarutobi Mahana.

Jianhua left with Senju Reiko back then, and he was not a ninja, just an ordinary person. The fact that he lived longer than Reiko and the others was something the third generation had not expected.

Few people know Sarutobi Mamaka, and even fewer people know Senju Reiko, but Danzo knows them all.

Back then, he and Danzo were both disciples of the Second Hokage, and Maka was his sister.

Reiko is the daughter of the second generation, so naturally they have frequent contact.

The Sarutobi clan originally had a powerful bloodline, but unfortunately Mamaka was unwilling to become a ninja. She had a good relationship with Reiko since childhood and served as a maid in the Senju clan.

Danzo knew that Anka left with Senju Reiko and the boy from the Uchiha family, so he naturally doubted Huo Wu's identity.

"Guessed my identity?" Huo Wu paused, "Why?"

Although she suspected that her identity had been exposed, she was still a little confused when she heard the third generation say this.

"You don't need to know too much. Think about it first. If you are willing to join the Anbu, I will arrange it for you after the Chunin Exam. If you don't want to..."

The third generation did not say the latter sentence.

Huo Wu didn't know what the Third Generation meant by "if he didn't want to, so what", because she knew that this if was based on the premise that the Third Generation could survive Orochimaru's hands.

After the Chunin Exams?
"Grandpa Sandaime, Red Bean will be the chief examiner for the second Chunin Exam, right?" When Huo Wu thought of Orochimaru, she thought of Sasuke. She was still a little worried and couldn't help but ask.

The Sandaime was stunned. Huo Wu seemed to be particularly concerned about the Chunin Exam, but from all aspects, she was not regretful that she could not become a ninja and take the Chunin Exam, but she was worried.

But what is she worried about? I always feel that Huo Wu knows something but doesn't say it.

After pondering for a while, the Third Generation suddenly remembered a person mentioned by Huo Wu: Orochimaru!

A gleam flashed in his eyes, "Do you want to go to the Forest of Death?"

Huo Wu shook her head: "No, it's not."

She didn't want to go, she was just worried about Sasuke.

She was afraid of meeting Orochimaru, as she always felt like she was being stared at by a poisonous snake and there was no way to escape.

Most girls are afraid of snakes, and Orochimaru happens to be a snake player. That slippery and wet feeling is really unpleasant.

And there is also a scheming person who secretly plots against her, a multi-faceted spy.

Add to that the moody Gaara, full of murderous intent.

Although she was not very afraid of Gaara, the key point was that the man was too murderous and had Shukaku in his body. What she was afraid of was the tailed beast.

She is not a Kage-level warrior, nor does she have a tailed beast on her body. How can she compare with others?

"That is……"

"Can I come with her?"

That’s right, being an invigilator, that’s what Huo Wu thought.

Because there are many entrances to the Death Forest in a circular shape, if she doesn't ask, she won't know which entrance is which. She won't know how to find or avoid people.

"Huh?" The third generation didn't expect that Huo Wu actually wanted to be with Hongdou. Did she want to be an invigilator?

The Chunin Exam is no joke, and the invigilators are not appointed by the Hokage. Instead, they are assigned according to the ninja's abilities. Every invigilator is a ninja above the Chunin level, and the chief examiner is a Jonin.

The examiner for the first written test was Morino Ibiki, who was not only the head of the Intelligence Department but also an elite jonin.

The examiner of the second exam was Mitarashi Anko, who was a special jonin herself.

The rest of the invigilators were all Chunin and above.

Wouldn't it be causing trouble for Huo Wu, a Genin, to mingle with the invigilators?

Although the Third Hokage believed that Huo Wu's strength was comparable to that of a Chunin, she was not a Chunin after all.

Besides, the Chunin Exam is held jointly with other countries. We cannot allow the ninjas from the Wind Country to find fault, nor can Danzo find fault.

Therefore, the condition proposed by Huo Wu undoubtedly stumped the third generation.

After hesitating for a long time, the third generation still couldn't make up his mind. Finally, he took a deep breath, exhaled a puff of cigarette, and asked seriously: "Why?"

He wanted an explanation, otherwise he couldn't let Huo Wu go.

He is the Hokage and is responsible for the other people in Konoha. No matter how much he dotes on Huo Wu, he cannot let her act recklessly.

Going there simply for the sake of watching a play is absolutely not allowed.

But based on his understanding of Huo Wu, he believed that Huo Wu had thought it over carefully.

Huo Wu knew that if she made this request, the Third Generation would definitely ask the reason, and she was prepared to be rejected.

She bit her lip, "I'm worried about Sasuke. I always feel like something's going to happen."

This reason is normal, but it is not enough here.

Sure enough, the Sandaime shook his head and refused: "Huo Wu, I know you are worried about them, but you have to believe in them. Kakashi recommended them to take part in the Chunin Exam at that time, so he must have believed in them. Don't think too much."

Huo Wu smiled bitterly, the third generation really believed in Kakashi.

He nodded and walked out helplessly.

It doesn't matter if he can't go. No matter how far Sasuke goes astray, there is still Naruto. As long as Naruto is there, he will always bring him back.

Being the best at talking is no joke.

Even though he went the wrong way and killed Uchiha Itachi, that short-lived guy had used his Sharingan too much and had no time left, so he had to help Hashira.

Sasuke has a brother and Naruto, why should she care?

However, she still felt very unwilling. Could it be that Sasuke, whom she had cared for for so long, was really going to go astray? Which was more important, the original story or Sasuke? There was no need to think about it. Although he was a little silly at times, she still liked Sasuke's cool look.
