Qingniao then led Haneda into the office.
Inside, the Sandaime sat on a swivel chair, the table in front of him was piled with documents as high as a mountain.
When Haneda and the others walked in, the Sandaime was still processing documents while smoking his pipe, and he looked very busy.
Only after Haneda stood up and the blue bird disappeared did the Sandaime put down the pen and documents in his hand and look at Haneda in front of him.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Haneda." The Sandaime put down his pipe and said with a smile.
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."
"Hokage-sama is very busy with his work, deciding all the important matters of the village. I am sorry to trouble you to take the time to see me."
Haneda said, pretending to be flattered.
Although he didn't know what the Third Generation's old master was planning, he had to show his basic attitude.
Seeing this, the Sandaime nodded secretly, very satisfied with Haneda's attitude.
It was worth it that he specially staged a scene just to express his importance to Haneda.
"Haneda, I heard a lot about your performance in the Ninja School from Takakura Bunta."
"I heard that you have learned the B-rank Ninjutsu Shadow Clone Technique and have skipped many classes, is that right?"
The Sandaime said this in a somewhat casual tone with a amiable smile on his face.
The more a person always has a smile on his face, the harder it is to see what he is thinking.
Haneda couldn't figure out the Sandaime's thoughts, so he just told the truth:
"Yeah. What is taught in school is too boring, so it's better not to go. As for the Shadow Clone, it was given to me by the clan leader. I spent some time to learn it."
Haneda was telling the truth, but of course he also hid a lot of information.
For example, his relationship with the clan leader, and why the clan leader gave him a shadow clone.
"That's it..."
Seeing that Haneda didn't seem to be lying, the Sandaime took a puff of his cigarette and smiled.
"Haneda, your theory score is very poor. I looked at your last test paper. You didn't write much, and your attitude was a little bit improper..."
Having said that, the Sandaime looked into Haneda's eyes and asked:
"Do you remember the essay for the exam?"
Hearing this, Haneda suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He wrote a few lines during the exam and then fell asleep, so how could he know all this?
"Hokage-sama, the exam was so boring that I fell asleep on the table..." Haneda explained in a low voice.
cough cough...
The Sandaime couldn't hold back when he heard this honest answer.
However, he quickly adjusted his attitude and said:
"That is an essay on the understanding of the Will of Fire."
"You didn't write it at the time. I'm curious about what the Will of Fire in your heart is like?"
"Will of Fire?" After hearing this, Haneda finally understood the purpose of the Third Hokage, Old Deng.
He wanted to win him over and make him a thug or spy for the Hokage's faction like Shisui and One on Seven.
For Haneda, who had attended nine years of compulsory education, there were too many formulas and routines to answer this kind of question.
He replied without hesitation:
"Where the leaves dance, the fire will live. The flames will illuminate the village and make new leaves sprout..."
Haneda recited a famous poem of Konoha on the spot, and then said:
"The will of fire in my heart is for my companions, for the village, for my family, for everyone, and for sacrificing myself to pass on to the next generation."
Although Haneda's words were empty and pretentious, the Sandaime was very satisfied after listening to them.
Haneda's words basically encompass the core idea of the Will of Fire, which is the spirit of village love and selfless dedication based on bonds.
He recognized this will of fire.
The Sandaime took a puff of his cigarette and slowly blew out smoke rings.
As the smoke cleared, he made his decision.
"It would be great if everyone in the village had the same awareness as you, Haneda." The Sandaime suddenly sighed.
After saying that, he picked up a document on the table.
The document was about the Fire Country Daimyo inviting the Third Hokage to visit the Daimyo's mansion.
This document involves the whereabouts of the Hokage. It is a confidential document and very important.
But the Sandaime still let Haneda look at him.
"The Fire Country Daimyo has a young daughter whom the Daimyo loves very much."
"Haneda, you are about the same age as her, which makes you perfect for approaching this princess."
"I hope you will agree to go with me to the Daimyo's Mansion to find out from the princess the attitude of the Daimyo's Mansion regarding the allocation of funds to Konoha this year."

Chapter 033 Hokage Guards
Damingfu? Princess? Grants?
Do you think I could get any information from a young princess?
Also, does the Daimyo dare not allocate funds to Konoha?
Haneda was extremely skeptical of the reasons given by the Sandaime.
He thought more about the political purpose of the third generation.
For example, by allowing himself, a talented Uchiha boy, to get in touch with important village affairs, he tried to win over the Uchiha clan.
You know, as a child he couldn't take part in any government affairs, but the fact that he could go implied a lot of things.
Of course, his own talent was also worthy of three generations of attention.
Haneda responded quickly.
His face flushed slightly, and he said excitedly:
"Hokage-sama! Can I, can I, really do this?!"
"You are capable enough for the job, and there is no other child in the village who can replace you." The Sandaime said softly.
"But... Kakashi can do it too! Hokage-sama, I'm really not confident about this mission, how about taking Kakashi with you?"
"Kakashi?" The Sandaime nodded, thinking that Sakumo's attitude towards him had become much colder recently.
When trying to win over the Uchiha, it wouldn't have much impact if I also won over Sakumo...
Haneda scratched the back of his head and said uncomfortably: "Hokage-sama, can I pull one more person? Just one!"
"Your elders?" Upon hearing this, the Sandaime thought of the Uchiha people first.
"No, he's the father of a friend of mine, his name is Might Dai." Haneda shook his head.
"Might Guy, there's no such person among the Jonins, nor among the Chunins..." the Sandaime muttered to himself.
At this time, Haneda's voice came again, with a hint of pleading.
"Uncle Dai has been a Genin for many years. He is often laughed at by other ninjas and is nicknamed the Ten Thousand Year Genin. I want to help him, Hokage!"
"I see..." The Sandaime thought for a moment and agreed.
"Okay, let him temporarily join the Hokage Guard and be responsible for my safety."
To the Sandaime, bringing another non-Uchiha Genin along wouldn't be a big deal.
And Haneda did it for his friends, his companions.
He had just finished educating the Will of Fire, and it would not be good if he refused.
Coupled with Haneda's pleading, in order to win over this talented young man, it would be even more impossible to refuse.
As for why Haneda wanted to drag Kakashi and Dai into the water, there were three purposes.
One is for political purposes.
Behind Kakashi stood Konoha White Fang. Judging from the way he got along with Kakashi, the Sandaime could naturally see the relationship between the two.
This means that behind Haneda is not only the Uchiha clan, but also Hatake Sakumo.
The Sandaime had to include Sakumo in his considerations as well.
This is a layer of insurance.
The second is his own safety.
Who knows if the 5.5th generation Nabekage will attack him when he leaves the village.
That Dark Ninja did a lot of stupid things like this.
The people in this village who were bullied included Shisui, Sasuke, one against seven, and Kabuto Yakushi...
The most typical example of making enemies outside the village is Nagato and Konan from the Akatsuki organization...
These are all Kage-level or super-Kage-level warriors. Danzo has done all kinds of stupid things.
And with Dai, a strong man who can open eight gates, around, he is not afraid of any attack.
As for the third one, it is to improve favorability.
For the sake of the Eight Gates, there is nothing much to say about getting some benefits for Uncle Dai.
