Something's wrong with this Hinata in Konoha

Chapter 126 Defeating Magic with Magic

After the Jonin Meeting, the ninja clan was not the only one who changed greatly in the village.

The one that has really changed the most is of course the ANBU!
During the meeting that night, for the first time in so many years, the ANBU was separated from the control of Sarutobi Hiruzen and handed over to the two disciples of the Yondaime Hokage!

On the night of the Kyuubi, the ANBU suffered heavy losses, mainly in the battle in Kushina's delivery room. Obito and Black Zetsu fought their way through and slaughtered all the ANBU ninjas outside the cave.

Therefore, the first thing Hinata Inaba and Kakashi did after taking control of the ANBU was naturally to recruit people again.

This has also become the most hotly discussed topic in the village recently - ANBU has recruited new members!

During the war years, ANBU positions were quite attractive to ninjas, because they were risking their lives wherever they went, so why not choose one with good pay and security?

So in the past few days, Kakashi and Hinata Inaba have received a lot of registration applications.

Kakashi even came over to ask Inaba.

"Even people from the Hyuga branch have come to sign up? Do you want to refuse?"

For a long time, members of the Hyuga branch were not welcome in any position involving confidential work in the village, and even the roots did not accept people from the Hyuga branch under normal circumstances.

Because everyone knows: these branch ninjas can't keep any secrets in front of the clan family.

Everyone is willing to sympathize when their own secrets are not involved, but everyone knows how to say no when their own secrets are involved.

So even Kakashi was affected by his long-term thinking, and his first thought was rejection.

But Hinata Inaba thought about it and gave a different answer.

"No, there is no need to refuse. If you are really young, strong and meet the requirements, then accept it."

Kakashi raised his head in surprise, "Do you really trust them? Don't worry about the clansmen behind them?"

However, Hinata Inaba smiled slightly and suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"The Will of Fire in our village emphasizes protecting our companions, right?"

"……Yes."

Kakashi nodded awkwardly.

At that moment he thought of the end of his father, Hatake Sakumo.

But in the end he firmly answered "yes".

Just because he denies those hypocritical high-level officials does not mean that he denies his own father!

Maybe those people don't take the lives of other people in the village seriously, and are free to sacrifice other branches and leaves in order to maintain what they call the "backbone."

But he Kakashi doesn't!
He will always adhere to his father's beliefs!
Until one day in the future, he must make those hypocritical and despicable people kneel in front of his father's tombstone to repent!
Then Hinata Inaba spread her hands.

"Since the Will of Fire requires us to protect our companions, if one day our companions are tortured or even killed for no reason, should we step forward to protect them or avenge them?"

Kakashi was stunned.

He quickly understood Hinata Inaba's plan.

"Even if it's their own people who hurt them?"

Hinata Inaba smiled, "Yes, protecting your companions is implementing the will of fire. Any evil will eventually be brought to justice by this will."

The autonomy of the Ninja clan is the village's founding principle. For a long time, the Hyuga clan has used this to maintain its absolute rights within the clan.

But, so is the Will of Fire!

This is called using magic to defeat magic!

Kakashi was convinced and couldn't help showing his dead eyes expression again.

"You are really plotting against others every second." Hinata Inaba said innocently: "How can this be called plotting? I am clearly trying to influence them with my burning will of fire."

"Ha ha."

Kakashi rolled his eyes at him with his only exposed eye.

Is your plan not to use the scorching will of fire to purify them?

But in the end, he did not reject Hinata Inaba's proposal, then took the list and left in a flash.

Two days later, the first round of ANBU selections began.

The ANBU of each village does not require members to be jounin, but they require certain expertise in stealth and teleportation.

In addition, ANBU generally requires members to be young, and this time Kakashi and Hinata Inaba have lowered the age standard again and again.

This is all to network as many good seedlings as possible.

Kakashi's friends all came over to join in the fun.

Yuhi Kurenai, Metkai, Shiranui Genma, Ebisu, including the younger ones Gekko Hayate and Uzuki Yugao are also here.

They were very interested and gathered together and whispered, "You guys, do you think there is any hope for us to pass the examination?"

Metkai was the most optimistic, "Of course! Youth will not let down those who work hard!"

Yuhi Hong hit him on the head, "Keep your voice down, you idiot!"

Shiranui Genma held a Senbon in his mouth and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that we just wore false masks a few days ago, and today we are going to run for real masks. It's really interesting."

On the night of the Kyuubi, several of them had helped Kakashi, pretending to be ANBU ninjas and besieging Black Zetsu together.

Of course, they didn't know that it was to cover Kakashi's entry into the Hokage's office to steal something. A few of them thought it was a tactic to ambush the enemy!

In the end, they were still regretful when Hei Jue broke the barrier and escaped using the Mayfly Technique.

"Hey, it would be great if we could help Kakashi keep that mysterious black-robed enemy behind that day. Maybe then we can all enter the ANBU directly without taking the assessment."

"Who says it's not the case? What a pity, Kakashi has obviously thought up such careful tactics for us, it's us who have let him down."

Several friends didn't know that they were dragged into the water by Kakashi, and they felt sorry for Kakashi for not leaving an enemy behind.

Outside the crowd, there was a person who originally belonged to this small group, but was now unconsciously isolated, watching this scene silently, feeling both lonely and envious.

That person is Sarutobi Asuma.

He also attended the ninja school with Kakashi, Metkai, Yuhi Kurenai and others. Unfortunately, his status as a member of the Sarutobi clan meant that it was impossible for Kakashi to call him when he acted.

Therefore, I missed the opportunity to join the small group in front of me.

Beside him, there were young elders from the Sarutobi clan comforting him.

"Asuma, don't worry about those people, they won't do anything! Our target should be Kakashi, it should be that Hinata Inaba!"

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen only has one son left, Asuma, and with so much external pressure, his expectations for his son have naturally increased.

Even if compared with his peers, Hiruzen hopes that his son can compete with Kakashi, not Shiranui Genma, Ebisu and the like.

It's a pity that Sarutobi Asuma silently looked at Yuhi Kurenai who was smiling coquettishly in the crowd over there, and he could never take his eyes away.

People around him always hope that he can become a genius comparable to Kakashi, but who has ever asked him what he really wants?

So Hyuga Inaba said that the education problem of young people in the ninja world needs to be solved urgently!
From Uchiha Fugaku to Sarutobi Hiruzen, these people are somewhat indescribable in terms of family education.

Soon after, Kakashi appeared, and the selection and assessment was about to officially begin!
