Uchiha's opinion

Chapter 447: Respecting the Curtain and Fighting the Barbarians
"What can I do..."

Hattori Heiji, the former Fire Country Daimyo Guards Commander and current Fire Country Daimyo Guards Military Commander Hattori Heiji, came to the designated information exchange location based on the secret report from the shogunate informant.

But at this time, he was still uneasy in his heart.

After being incited by Hyuga Hizashi to become a spy for the shogunate, Hattori Heiji first followed the daimyo's deposed arrangement and "practiced Buddhism intensively" behind closed doors. Later, he was slandered by his rivals in front of the daimyo and was demoted to the Fire Temple as the envoy. During this period of time, Hattori Heiji showed no complaints - the main reason was that after he was deposed, he did not want to continue to be involved in the affairs of the Ninja Army, so as to avoid the embarrassment when the shogunate's contacts came to request information, so he simply became a "rich idler" .

But the shogunate seemed to have given up on him after he was demoted again. No one came to contact him, and no one urged Hattori Heiji to test and obtain information. In this way, Hattori Heiji was able to stay at the Fire Temple for half a year. as long as.

It was not until early last month that his superior, Hyuga Hizashi, took the initiative to contact him and asked him to prepare to return to Daming Mansion, and then left again.

Hattori Heiji, who was unaware of the situation, suddenly realized it when he received an order from the Daimyo's eunuch the next day, ordering him to return to the Daimyo Prefecture to assume the position of commander of the Konoe Prefecture's military commander, and then he felt chills all over his body.

The shogunate's spies... are really all-pervasive!

But just after Hattori Heiji returned to Damingfu and was entrusted with taking charge of the capital army, the official joint order finally came!

And when he woke up, he suddenly found that a secret letter informing the joint had been placed in a prominent place on the table in the study!
Although this secret letter was not as scary as appearing on the pillow, it was enough for Hattori Heiji to restrain all his thoughts and follow the instructions of the secret letter to the safe house he prepared - although Hattori Heiji had never I mentioned the existence of this safe house to others, but the contact person of the shogunate still used his safe house as a meeting point!
But the biggest problem facing him now is that Hattori Heiji doesn't understand the recent developments of the daimyo's ninja army!
In addition to knowing that the great monk of the Fire Temple is now taking over the teaching power of the Ninja Army, he has completely lost his influence on the Daimyo's Ninja Army!If asked by his contact later, Hattori Heiji really didn't know how to answer.

"Forget it, tell the truth..."

Hattori Heiji struggled for a long time, and finally sighed and said to himself, deciding that he should fight the possibility of being abandoned or even wiped out as a worthless person, and also tell his embarrassing situation, so as not to tell one lie and have to use countless lies. Go round.

"What are you going to tell the truth?"

Suddenly, a young voice sounded from behind Hattori Heiji.

Hattori Heiji's hairs stood on end.

Then, a chakra fluctuation appeared out of thin air. Just after Hattori Heiji turned around urgently and took out a kunai and held it in his hand to put on a vigilant posture, a blond young man appeared with an orange-haired boy and a blue-haired girl. in front of him.

"You are……"

Hattori Heiji saw the shuriken fan logo on the vest of the blond young jounin: This is the logo of the Konoha Police Department!
"Deputy Director of Konoha New District Police Minato Namikaze!"

After panicking, Hattori Heiji's name quickly popped into his mind.

"……it's me!"

The blond-haired Namikaze Minato frowned and responded with some displeasure.

Such a person is too inconspicuous if he still calls his job title when he is not at work!

"then you……"

Hattori Heiji put away his kunai with some embarrassment.

"I am the one who sent you the message..."

Namikaze Minato took out a seal from his arms and showed it to Hattori Heiji.

"As expected of the legendary fastest man in Konoha..."

Hattori Heiji laughed dryly, took out the secret letter document and the seal from his arms to compare, and then relaxed.

"...This time I came to you on the order of Master Deguang to ask you something. Please don't talk nonsense!"

Namikaze Minato's frown deepened.

He didn't know where the so-called "fastest man" came from, but in any case, as a Konoha male jounin, he disliked this so-called "fastest" very much!
And since he mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, this is the first time he has used it in front of outsiders!So this may also involve the issue of intelligence leakage, so we can’t afford to slack off!
Namikaze Minato secretly decided in his heart that after returning to the village, he must advise Lord Tokumitsu to strictly investigate the 'spies' who spread rumors in the village!
"Okay! Deputy Director Minato!"

Hattori Heiji immediately responded seriously.

Don't be angry!
Namikaze Minato took a breath and tried to calm down the anger in his heart: "Have there been any changes in the daimyo's ninja army recently?"

"Never heard of it..."

Hattori Heiji replied: "But I have been transferred to the government army, so I don't know if there are any special operations under the cover."

"So are there any special characters among the Ninjas that we should pay attention to?"

Namikaze Minato asked casually, and motioned to the orange-haired boy next to him to record it.

"Kazuma, the ninja head of the former daimyo guardian ninja!"

Hattori Heiji immediately said: "After Tokumitsu-sama ordered the daimyo to disband the guardian ninja, this person changed his name to Fangtu and stayed with the daimyo, responsible for handling some shameful things! And it was he who had been encouraging his highness to expand the ninja army, and he was the most powerful One of the people who is hostile to Konoha!"

Moreover, it was he who encouraged the daimyo to dismiss Hattori Heiji's attendant Shinobu-sama from his post!
"We know the situation of the former guardian ninja very well, and file analysis is always in progress..."

Namikaze Minato said calmly: "In addition to Kazuma, there are also the so-called four thunder escapers, and their information has been mastered for a long time."

"So, let's talk about something else..."

It seems that Yun Danfengqing has everything under control.

Hattori Heiji was obviously a little anxious, and small beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

"That's right! Temple of Fire!"

Hattori Heiji racked his brains and tried to connect the information that he usually didn't pay attention to: "It's the monks of the Fire Temple who are training the Daimyo's ninjas, and the person in charge of this is not the Daimon Masaru!"

"So who is this person?"

Namikaze Minato seemed to be a little interested.

"His name should be..."

Hattori Heiji felt like his brain was about to boil.

"Land!"

After thinking hard for a long time, Hattori Heiji retrieved this name from his memory that he had heard inadvertently at the Fire Temple.

"Okay, thank you Heiji-kun for your efforts. Please continue to follow up on other information..."

Namikaze Minato nodded, then took out a scroll from his arms and handed it over, "Here are your tasks and specific execution requirements, please follow them!"

"By the way, this intelligence mission was personally assigned by Mr. Tokuguang. Please carry it out carefully."

Before Hattori Heiji could speak, Namikaze Minato left him speechless.

"In addition, they will be responsible for future docking..."

Namikaze Minato patted the shoulders of the two people beside him.

"Police officer of the Information Section of the New Area Administrative Office of the Police Department, Yahiko the shogunate chunin."

The orange-haired boy introduced himself.

"Police officer of the Information Section of the New District Administrative Office, Shogun Chuunin Konan."

The blue-haired girl also said her name.

"This……"

Even though he couldn't help himself, Hattori Heiji was still a little angry.

Although he is relatively out of power now, it is not because he is so humiliated!What a big deal it is to have two mere chuunin confront you!This is nothing more than a dog looking down on people!

Besides, it's not like Hattori Heiji doesn't understand the police rank system of the Konoha Police Department - the so-called police officers are just rookies to put it bluntly!

"Both of them are the juniors that Lord Tokuang is optimistic about. Although they are a little younger, they still have great potential..."

Namikaze Minato dispelled Hattori Heiji's anger with one sentence: "I wish you a happy cooperation in the future, and I hope you can become colleagues with Heiji-kun in the future."

"I respectfully follow General Deguang's orders!"

Having no choice but to take the scroll, Hattori Heiji turned around and bowed in the direction of Konoha.

According to outsiders' intelligence analysis reports, Namikaze Minato is considered a standard "lucky minister", someone who gets lucky and gets lucky. In addition, his past resume is really good, so his promotion speed can be regarded as the fastest. Of Konoha, although in Hattori Heiji's view, this was probably possible because Tokimitsu Uchiha deliberately set an example, it was undeniable that Minato Namikaze was indeed a popular person in the middle ranks of the shogunate.

And plus two juniors whose names were remembered by Uchiha Tokko...

I can only say that life is not easy, Hattori bows his head...

……interesting!
Seeing Hattori Heiji bowing towards Konoha Haruka, Namikaze Minato couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eyes, feeling that he had learned a lot.It turns out that this is Shendu!

It doesn’t matter whether the Lord is present or not, and it doesn’t matter who is present. Be loyal and respectful to the Lord no matter when and where!
An idea suddenly came to Namikaze Minato's mind: This person is definitely not a thing in the pool!

"...Then I'll bother you, Heiji-kun."

Namikaze Minato's tone also softened slightly: "In addition, pay attention to safety when collecting intelligence. If there is an emergency, you can contact the lurking personnel according to the instructions in the scroll. As long as you send out a signal for help, a detachment will be there within half an hour. To assist you.”

"Thank you, Deputy Director Minato, for your guidance..."

Hattori Heiji immediately saluted.

He also felt the change in Namikaze Minato's tone, so he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He felt that his gesture made such a "lucky person" of the shogunate have a different view of him, but he also bowed his head and bowed and did not see Namikaze Minato. Men's expression changed after hearing the word 'Deputy Director' again.

"It's good to do it..."

After saying these words, Namikaze Minato put his hands on the shoulders of the two teenagers, and then disappeared into a puff of smoke.

"...He is indeed the fastest man in Konoha!"

Hattori Heiji still stood there and muttered to himself.

……

"Master Minato..."

Walking on the streets of the Daming Mansion in the Land of Fire, Xiao Nan nervously asked in a low voice: "Is it really okay for us to do this?"

"Also, if such important intelligence work is handed over to us... wouldn't it be..."

"Don't worry! It's not that important!"

Namikaze Minato, who had changed into casual clothes, was leisurely eating Japanese confectionery bought from a street vendor and casually dealing with Konan's questions.

"Also, there is no need to use such honorifics. According to the regulations of the police department, you can call me teacher."

"Okay, okay, teacher..."

"Hattori Heiji used to be the ninja chief serving as His Highness Genji's servant, but now that he has been demoted to the imperial army, he will not be able to provide so much information in a short period of time."

Namikaze Minato explained: "You have also studied at the Police Preparatory School, and you should understand the principle of taking a long time to catch the big fish..."

"...However, according to the theory of fishing intelligence investigation, it is necessary to choose a suitable 'bait'."

Yahiko asked with some hesitation and confusion: "But this time, we have direct contact like this, and we haven't had time to lay out the 'bait'..."

"How could it be too late~"

Namikaze Minato's tone was very cheerful: "Have you forgotten your existence?"

"what!"

Yahiko and Konan were stunned.

"That's right, you are the bait~"

After finishing the wagashi in the paper bag, Minato Namikaze looked around and found no trace of the trash can, so he followed suit and threw the paper bag everywhere: "Don't worry, it's okay!"

"How valuable can an intelligence officer who can be assigned to the Information Section follow up~"

"We hope to join the anti-terrorism force!"

Xiaonan mustered up the courage to speak out what was on her mind: "The Information Department... is so boring!"

"Teacher, I am the same!"

Yahiko immediately nodded in agreement.

"why?"

Namikaze Minato was not surprised.

“We want to make a difference in this terrible world!”

Yahiko said with determination: "The anti-terrorism force that has always been on the front line against aliens is our goal all along!"

"We are still on the street~"

Namikaze Minato reminded, and then said: "In fact, in addition to aliens, there are also existences in the ninja world that need to be more vigilant."

"You mean..."

"noble."

Namikaze Minato said: "The powerful nobles who have no talent or virtue are the biggest cancer in the ninja world."

Yahiko and Konan nodded silently.

"In addition to following up on miscellaneous intelligence, the Information Section also has a very important latent function, which is to guide public opinion."

Namikaze Minato led the two teenagers to a dark alley, took out a scroll from his arms and said, "And this is the plan you really want to implement!"

Yahiko took the scroll hesitantly, and at Namikaze Minato's signal, he opened it and Konan started to read it.

"Zunmu plan to repel foreigners..."

Yahiko was a little surprised.

"Tokumitsu-sama no longer intends to keep the Genji family."

Namikaze Minato said: "But sending out the Ninja Army directly to attack the Daming Mansion would have too great a impact, so we need you to make some noise and take some actions here."

"...can we do it?"

This time, Yahiko was a little less confident.

Although he only glanced at it briefly, the thoroughness of the plan and the cumbersome execution had already made Yahiko, who had just graduated from the police preparatory school, feel a little dizzy.

"This is a task assigned to you by the shogunate."

Namikaze Minato patted his shoulder, "This is also a test I give you!"

"I understand!"

Yahiko immediately responded seriously when he heard this.

Xiaonan also nodded repeatedly.

"But please tell me, teacher, where should we find the materials?"

Yahiko asked immediately.

"Isn't that what it is?"

Namikaze Minato casually pointed in the direction of the street.

Yahiko and Konan turned around to look, only to see a disheveled Fujun samurai not far away kicking over the stall where Namikaze Minato had just bought wagashi, and the poor vendor could only squeeze out a smile and nod his head.

"The difficulties faced by ordinary people..."

Xiao Nan sighed.

"Don't forget, your subordinate Hattori Heiji is commanding these government troops. It is easy to record such things and find out the points that can be used to amplify and ferment."

Namifeng Minato said expressionlessly: "Your mission is to incite massive public opinion and let Lord Tokumitsu destroy this extremely decadent old class!"

"As ordered!"

Yahiko and Konan responded in unison.
