Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

“I’m the same as Haneda,” Kakashi chimed in.

"Lord Hokage, you won't blame us, will you?" Haneda asked again.

As the Third Hokage listened to Haneda and Kakashi's back-and-forth banter, his usually amiable smile froze slightly.

He smiled and said:

"Of course not. When people are young, they always think about a lot of things. As long as they are on the right path, they will not get lost."

After saying that, the Third Hokage waved his hand.

Two secret agents carried two boxes in from behind the door.

Two boxes were placed in front of Haneda and Kakashi respectively. When they were opened, a mask and an Anbu uniform appeared.

"You've all been thinking about joining the Dark Division all this time, haven't you?"

"What did Kenji and Sakumo say? Haneda, Kakashi, what do you think?"

The third generation leader said confidently.

He had a very clear understanding of the Uchiha clan leader and Sakumo.

The former has always wanted to enter the upper echelons of Konoha and interfere in the village's affairs.

The latter, however, will not refuse anything that is important to the village.

Haneda and Kakashi had absolutely no reason to refuse the ANBU assignment!

"I refuse, Hokage-sama." Haneda closed the box without the slightest hesitation.

“I’m the same as Haneda,” Kakashi said, closing the box as well.

He originally had no objections, but seeing that Yuda refused, he followed suit.

???

A hint of surprise flashed in the Third Generation's eyes.

Being in the secret service isn't a bad job; it has many benefits and perks, and you can also get access to the village's secrets.

As a result, both Haneda and Kakashi refused!

Didn't Kenji and Sakumo explain the importance of the Anbu to them?!

Haneda was too lazy to explain, so he just stood there quietly. Kakashi couldn't find a reason to explain, so he stood with Haneda.

For a moment, the office fell silent.

Suddenly, a figure burst in.

It's Asma!

"Old man! Is this how you treat your son's savior, Brother Yutian?"

"Brother Haneda is, after all, a hero of Konoha, and Kakashi, whom Brother Haneda acknowledges, is one too!"

Asuma carried a chair and moved it behind Haneda, then smiled at Haneda.

"Brother Haneda! Please have a seat!"

"Kakashi, go get your own chair."

Asma looked up at the swivel chair in front of him; he had originally intended to move the one the old man sat in.

Unfortunately, doing so would be detrimental to Haneda-nii, so the idea was abandoned.

However, this position will eventually belong to Haneda-nii-san!

The third generation head was furious with his rebellious son.

If Haneda and Kakashi hadn't been there, they would have definitely drawn the Seven Wolves and given Asuma a complete childhood.

"Asuma, I'm discussing important matters with Haneda and Kakashi," the Third Hokage said through gritted teeth.

Asma said indifferently:

"Didn't both Haneda-nii and Kakashi refuse?"

"Old man, you're not trying to force them to agree, are you?"

"Don't tell me you want to emulate Danzo, the naturally evil old devil of the Shimura clan?"

Upon hearing his rebellious son slander Danzo in this way, the Third Hokage couldn't help but roar:

"That's your Uncle Danzo! Not some inherently evil old devil!!"

Asma smiled nonchalantly.

"Say what you will, this old devil who has done so many bad and stupid things will never gain my approval, Sarutobi Asuma!"

Yu Tian, ​​who was standing by watching the show, could barely suppress the smirk on his face.

The Shimura clan's inherently evil old demon, Danzo...

Who came up with this idea?

But Haneda couldn't let Asuma be the only filial son, so he said:

"Lord Hokage, Asuma is quite right. Root has indeed done a lot of bad things that are detrimental to the village."

"for example……"

Haneda's tone turned cold, but he didn't continue.

The third generation also knew what Haneda wanted to say.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said:

"The roots buried in darkness are never understood by the world."

Where there is light, there is bound to be darkness.

"Many things can't be said openly. After a year as a ninja, you should understand, right, Haneda?"

Haneda did not deny it, but he had already added Danzo to his kill list.

Regardless of whether it's for the greater good or personal feelings, Danzo's dark legacy has corrupted Konoha.

Only by removing the rotten parts by the roots can the leaves regain their vitality.

"I have no interest in joining the Dark Side."

"If I had to choose between light and darkness, I would prefer to stand in the sunlight."

Kakashi looked at Haneda, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Like Haneda, I also want to stand in the sunlight."

Finally, considering Haneda and Kakashi's battle achievements, strength, and their respective backgrounds, the Third Hokage reluctantly agreed.

He began to consider other ways to reward Haneda and Kakashi.

Little did they know, Haneda and Kakashi didn't care at all.

…………

When the conversation in the office reached the Root, Danzo was furious.

He was initially pleased that Haneda and Kakashi refused to join the Anbu.

But when he heard Hiruzen's son call him Danzo, the inherently evil old devil of the Shimura clan...

Danzo couldn't help but slam his fist on the stone table and angrily rebuked:

"Hiruzen! Is this what you call winning people over?"

"He assigned his son to Uchiha Haneda's and Sakumo's teams, and the result was..."

"As a result, even his own son was rebelled against by that inherently evil Uchiha brat!"

"I knew it! Sooner or later you'd regret your stupid decision!!"

Chapter 142 New Year's Eve Dinner

After leaving the Hokage Building, Haneda told Kakashi, "See you tomorrow," and then headed straight home.

Upon arriving at the gate, the clan chief and Fugaku were standing there. Seeing Haneda approach, the clan chief smiled and said:

"Long time no see, Haneda."

“Yes, clan chief. I heard from Fugaku that you’re waiting to see your grandson at the hospital,” Haneda replied with a smile.

Upon seeing the clan leader's figure, he knew that the clan leader must have received news of his joining the Dark Division.

"Haha, I'll have to wait a few more months to see my precious grandson. I do hear about you a lot in the village, though."

"Everyone puts you and Kakashi on the same level, calling you the Twin Stars of Konoha."

Haneda didn't care much about these empty titles.

He smiled and said, "Fortunately, the most famous people in the village right now are still Lord Orochimaru and Minato-senpai."

Haneda, knowing the pleasantries were over, said:
