Konoha's New Third Hokage

Chapter 449 A puzzling decision

Hattori Heizo left the Hokage office building and went to the place where the scientific research department tested the wind wings. There is a secret underground cavity. Except for the relevant personnel and the high-level Konoha, no one knows about it. Hattori Heizo also accepted this appointment , just learned here.

Hattori Heizo is very familiar with this kind of place, because Anbe's strongholds generally have such a structure. Although they are different places, some principles are common.Hattori Heizo came to the test site with ease, and entered it after being inspected by the guards.

Under the leadership of one of the guards, Hattori Heizo came to the place where the flight test was being conducted, and happened to see someone doing it, and there were people from the scientific research team watching.He also knew that person, and the other party was Asuna. Originally, no one would conduct a flight test before the members of the flight combat unit were formally called, but Asuna is not an ordinary person, so he can naturally come into contact with this person earlier than others. A new type of flying ninja.

Hattori Heizo saw that Asuna was carrying the wind wings, and an invisible airflow rushed out of the airjet that ordinary people could not see clearly, and flew into the air with the whole person. Moving with very flexible movements, it was just a flyby. Asuna threw a kunai, and scarecrows in different positions were stabbed in the head within a very short interval.

The people around exclaimed, and then Asuna, who flew into the air again, turned around and flew down. This time, she seemed to be holding two long knives in her hands. Although Hattori Heizo did not see how Asuna held them It came out, but he could guess the method behind it.

In addition to carrying the ninja in the ninja bag, some ninjas also engrave the psychic formula near the wrist to summon the ninja, but this kind of technique is relatively high-end and requires a considerable degree of sealing It can only be done with technical attainments.

Asuna's speed is extremely fast under the boost of the wind wings, and she herself is a fairly high-level wind ninja, and she is light in weight. In the eyes of ordinary people, there is only a "black line" that can barely be seen clearly. With a soft sound, everyone saw Asuna returning to the midair again, holding up the two swords, and exhaling lightly.

And the wooden man used for the experiment—in order to increase the defense power, the surface was covered with the iron armor used by warriors—had long been cut in two, and everyone took a breath of air, with a little surprise in their eyes.The ninja sword used by Asuna is certainly very sharp, but at the beginning of the experiment, she was asked not to increase the wind escape on the sword, and to cut off these wooden figures in one go. brought the impact.

In the combat method of the samurai, there are cavalry on horseback. The powerful impact they bring when they run on the horse, the weapons they stab out are more powerful than those on the flat ground. On the frontal battlefield, if there is a strong cavalry, Without corresponding defensive methods, it is easy to penetrate the infantry battle formation.

Ninjas generally don't use this method. How could ninjas who are good at individual combat and focus on fast action choose to ride horses?Apart from riding a horse, there are almost no other ways to increase the impact, but now the appearance of the wind wing has solved this problem. Even without applying wind attribute chakra, there is such a power. Chakra with the upper hand attribute, that would be terrible.

In just two experiments, Hattori Heizo saw the power of the wind wings. Whether it is the combat effectiveness of diving or the advantages brought by throwing from high altitude, it is difficult for today's ninjas to defend. The speed and impact of the dive Power, it's not that the masters of ninjas can't stop it at all. Ordinary people may not even connect the seal, and it is impossible to block the impact of the dive even if they take out the ninja gear.

Needless to say, high-altitude throwing is the biggest advantage of flying combat troops. Hattori Heizo has estimated that the kind of high-level ninja throwing can't be reached at all, and there are not many ninjutsu that can be touched. As long as there is a certain scale The flying combat troops threw down kunai, detonating talismans, etc., and the ninjas on the ground had almost no way to counterattack except for defense.

——No wonder Mr. Fumori said that the emergence of flying combat troops will change the war mode of the ninja world, from flat to three-dimensional, so this is what he meant!

As the saying goes, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. No matter what description Hattori Heizo heard, it is better to see it with his own eyes. Just by looking at it, he understood: this flying combat unit is well established, and it is worth it!The large sum of money invested in the wind wing is worth it!Those researchers who put their heart and soul into the study of wind wings, great!

The researchers who were observing applauded one after another, expressing their joy. At this moment, Akemi among them suddenly noticed Hattori Heizo, who had been silent all this time, and immediately waved: "Brother Heizang, why are you here?"

Hearing Akemi's cry, other people also looked at Hattori Heizo. Although Hattori Heizo worked in Anbe all year round, as a student of Kazemori Masaki, no one knew him, and in the second Ninja World After the war, he was promoted to Jonin because of his meritorious service, and he was honored as a war hero by Masaki Fengmori at the honor ceremony after the war, and he had already left Anbu at that time.

Although it is uncertain when he will go back in the future, at least Heizo Hattori is active in Ninja Village as a ninja, and it is precisely because of this that he was designated as the captain of the flight combat unit, otherwise it is impossible for an Anbu member to come forward To be the leader of a troop to be shown in public.

"Because of something." Heizo Hattori said as he walked over, and Akemi and Orochimaru, a member of the team, greeted him.

Hattori Heizo nodded at Orochimaru. The other party was a student of Sarutobi Hiruzen. He performed well in the Eastern Front Campaign. Although he is currently working as a researcher, no one will underestimate the strength of this person. Orochimaru was also in the award ceremony The character who was awarded the medal.

"What's the matter?" Mingmei asked curiously.

"I was designated by the teacher as the captain of the flight combat unit." Hattori Heizo said.

"Wow! It turns out that Brother Heizang is leading the flight combat unit. That's good. There shouldn't be any problem with Asuna serving under your name in the future." Minmei said pleasantly.

Hattori Heizo raised his eyebrows slightly. Hearing Mingmei's words, she didn't seem to know that Masaki Kazemori didn't add Asuna's name in it, and he was a little surprised that the teacher didn't tell them earlier.

Orochimaru noticed Hattori Heizo's slight expression and said, "Hattori, what's the problem? You seem a little surprised."

Although Masaki Fumori and Hiruzaru Sarutobi are of the same family, and the relationship between the two is also very good, but because of the relatively cold temperament of Orochimaru, the relationship with other people cannot be said to be particularly good. It can be said that they are friends, but they are not close To the point where you can call each other by name.

Hattori Heizo heard that he had a higher opinion of Orochimaru. He had long heard that Orochimaru was a genius, but since the other party entered the scientific research department, he didn't think that the other party's strength would be so strong. Although Orochimaru Maru has been awarded honors, but the award is based on merit, not strength. People with strength are more likely to make meritorious deeds, but it is not absolute.

Just like Hattori Heizo's achievements are mainly the outstanding performance of the Anbu members after the activities behind the enemy lines, which led to the implementation of the strategy of the country of the wind. Because of this incident, all the team members including him were awarded medals, and Hattori Heizo Because of more performance, it is at the same level as Captain Hinata Kei's medal.

Orochimaru is mainly active on the Eastern Front, and Hattori Heizo has never seen his performance. Even if he hears about the battles he participated in, he can only agree with his achievements and cannot judge his strength. Now it seems that Orochimaru is really not a simple person. You must know that Hattori Heizo's control over expressions is not something ordinary people can perceive.

"There is a little bit." Since Orochimaru pointed it out, Hattori Heizo did not intend to hide it, nodded, and looked at Asuna who was back on the ground and was taking off the wind wings.

"Does it have something to do with Asuna?" Akemi saw the direction Hattori Heizo was looking at, turned her head and asked.

"Well, you said that just now, do you think Asuna is going to join the flight combat unit?" Hattori Heizo said.

"Of course, Asuna is very suitable to join the flight combat unit. Anyone who knows her will think so." Akemi said as a matter of course.

Hattori Heizo heard Akemi's tone, and guessed what was going on, because it was a matter of course, so Akemi never asked her father at all, thinking that Asuna would enter the flight combat unit, it seems that Asuna is the same I think so.

"It's a pity, although I think so, but the teacher did not add Asuna's name to the list of flight combat personnel this time." Hattori Heizo said.

"What!" Mingmei showed a shocked expression, and even Orochimaru's face showed a strange look. As Mingmei said, as long as you know Asuna, you will think that she is very suitable to participate in the flight combat force. Such tomorrow Can Nai fail to enter the flight combat unit?
"Is this true, Brother Pingzang?" Because she was too shocked, Mingmei hurriedly asked.

"Am I joking? That's how it is." Hattori Heizo said, "To be honest, I can't understand it either. I thought you and Asuna already knew."

"How could we know, because I thought my father would definitely make such an arrangement, so I didn't ask, and Asuna's transfer from Sakumo-san's team made me even more sure of this." Minmei shook her head again and again.

"Did Hokage-sama say what the reason is?" Orochimaru asked.

"No, he just said that there are other arrangements. This is the teacher's family business, and I didn't ask much." Hattori Heizo looked at Minmei, "I think you should ask the teacher what he is planning."

At the same time, Asuna walked over here, just in time to hear Hattori Heizo's last words, she asked in surprise, "What do you want to ask father?"

"Asuna, father didn't add you to the roster of the flight combat unit." Minmei still had an incomprehensible expression.

Asuna was a little surprised. After being transferred from Sakumo Hatake's team, and her father asked her, Mingmei and Kushina to find suitable people, these two circumstances made her subconsciously count herself in, after all , with her combat form, the flying combat unit is simply born for her.

But now, Asuna heard that Feng Mori Masaki did not count her in, which really surprised her, but she didn't mean to join the flight combat unit. Although this incident was a bit unexpected, but Since father has other arrangements, let's go according to other arrangements.

Asuna said that, and other people heard the words and thought it was the same. Asuna did not have to join the flight combat unit, but everyone felt that it was a pity that someone as suitable as Asuna did not go in. Mingmei said: "Although this is the case, but I still have to ask my father why, I really can't understand this decision."

Asuna thought about it, although she didn't mean to blame her, but she also wanted to know why she wasn't selected.

"Then I'm going to test this thing called the wind wing first." Hattori Heizo said.

Akemi nodded, and she had to go home when she wanted to ask questions. Now Heizo Hattori, as the captain of the flight combat unit, wanted to check the performance of the wind wings.

"Asuna, I also want to ask about your feelings." Hattori Heizo said to Asuna, Asuna is a person who has just experimented, and should be able to clearly describe the feeling brought by the wind wing during use.

"Okay." Asuna said.

In the evening, Mingmei and Asuna returned home and saw that their father hadn't come back, so they could only suppress their inner doubts and wait for their father to come back.Fortunately, Masahiro Fengsen was not too far away from them when his work was over, and Masaki Fengsen came back soon. As soon as he came back, he was dragged into the room by Mingmei.

"what happened?"

"Father, I have something to ask you." Mingmei looked at Masaki Fengmori with some seriousness, and asked, "Why didn't Asuna join the flight combat force?"

"That's the matter." Masaki Fengsen was unexpectedly silent. He thought for a while and said to Mingmei: "Call Asuna over, and I will tell her the reason."

Mingmei brought Asuna over, and when she wanted to stay and listen, she was asked to go out by her father, which surprised her a little. They looked at Asuna, and they immediately realized that Asuna had not joined the flight combat unit Behind it, there are deep reasons, which cannot even be known to others.

Seeing this, Mingmei tactfully got up and left. She wanted to know the reason, but there must be a reason why Feng Mori Masaki refused to let her listen. Born in this family, she was not stupid enough to have to ask.

"Asuna, you have to listen carefully to what I'm going to say next. Whether you want to accept it or not depends on your own decision." Feng Mori Masaki looked at Asuna who was sitting in front of him, and said solemnly.
