“Get that old geezer to get me some booze...”
“Got it...”
The Third Hokage agreed as he walked out.
After the Third Hokage left, Kawasaki entered the Guard Corps.
But he didn't go to Jiraiya; he had other goals - Hiruzen.
During Fugaku's time as the Captain of the Guard Corps, he would occasionally go to the scene himself for inspections.
As for Hiruzen, he was almost always in the Guard Corps, handling everything big and small.
When Kawasaki arrived, he happened to bump into Hyuga Yuto, who had just finished his report and was about to leave.
He gently patted Hyuga Yuto's shoulder: "You're doing a good job, young man."
Hyuga Yuto seemed a bit shy and scratched his head.
"Kawasaki-sama, I'll take my leave then."
Kawasaki's eyes twinkled, and an idea came to him.
"Wait a minute."
Then, he whispered something in Hyuga Yuto's ear.
Hyuga Yuto nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Don't worry, Kawasaki-sama, leave it to me."
Kawasaki waved his hand and entered the room without knocking.
Hiruzen was intently looking at the report document in his hand.
"Hiruzen, you're quite the serious one."
Hiruzen looked up and saw Kawasaki, and he smiled.
When they first met, Kawasaki addressed him as "Hiruzen-sama"
, with such respect that it was unbelievable.
But after becoming familiar, Kawasaki's unreliable nature revealed itself, and he wasn't very serious with anyone.
However, Hiruzen didn't mind; the Hyuga and Uchiha families were currently in their honeymoon phase.
The last incident with the Cloud Hidden Village was due to Kawasaki's intervention; otherwise, Hizashi might have messed things up.
If that happened, the Hyuga clan would have been in real trouble.
They might have even lost their lives, both their brother and himself.
"Kawasaki, you've made quite a splash today."
Kawasaki waved his hand, feigning nonchalance: "Pure accident. Who would have thought that Jiraiya would make such a scene as soon as he came back?"
"I was just standing up for the people, you know."
I don't believe a word of it, Kawasaki. You, an Uchiha, are incredibly cunning.
You specifically came to me today for a commission scroll, wasn't it just to cause trouble for Jiraiya?
Jiraiya has a ton of love affairs. He travels all over, partying every night, truly living up to his name.
Wherever he goes, he makes sure to visit brothels and drink heavily.
And wherever he goes, bathhouses will put him on their blacklist.
Not only that, Jiraiya also writes novels and draws manga.
The novels are decent, but it's unclear if the manga is decent or not.
However, actions speak louder than words. Before, Hiruzen just took Jiraiya's love affairs as jokes.
Now, as the Captain of the Guard Corps, Hiruzen had to take action against Jiraiya's behavior.
You're a big shot, so fooling around outside is fine.
But doing this back in the village is going too far; even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows.
Moreover, one of the victims this time was from the Hyuga clan.
If Hiruzen intervened, things would become tricky.
After all, Jiraiya's identity is right there.
But it's different with Kawasaki intervening, he probably left a psychological scar on Jiraiya.
The great disciple of the Third Hokage, one of the Sannin, the Toad Sage Jiraiya, was caught peeping in the women's bathhouse and publicly exposed.
As he was thinking, Hiruzen asked: "Kawasaki, why did you do that this time?"
Kawasaki shook his head: "No particular reason. I just can't stand that kind of behavior, even from Jiraiya."
Hiruzen looked at Kawasaki deeply, let out an "Oh," and didn't express his opinion.
"Also, Nakamura Kazuya from the Root organization, I caught him red-handed today. He dared to obstruct my law enforcement."
"You can use this chance to fire him. That way, the others in Root won't be able to run wild."
Hiruzen nodded in agreement. Nakamura Kazuya had been restless before, trying to win over people in the Guard Corps.
But the Hyuga main family and branch family structure was like an iron plate; outsiders couldn't penetrate it.
But this kind of restless person is ultimately a problem. Since an opportunity has arisen, it's better to dismiss him.
Kawasaki took out the commission scroll:
"Captain Hiruzen, I think the Guard Corps is pretty interesting, but I'm really too busy. I'll resign."
Hiruzen couldn't help but laugh. Everyone knows you, Kawasaki, are just here for a fling.
"Alright, leave it here."
Many people outside speculate that Kawasaki's goal is to damage the Hokage's reputation.
But only Kawasaki knows that he just doesn't want Naruto to be negatively influenced.
Those vulgar behaviors, in Kawasaki's opinion, are stupid and disgusting.
Kawasaki walked towards the Konoha Ninja Academy. Along the way, he heard many people discussing Jiraiya's arrest.
When he arrived at the Ninja Academy, he found that school had already been dismissed for some time.
The guard standing nearby was a member of the Hyuga clan: "Where did Sasuke go?"
The Hyuga member quickly saluted and replied:
"Reporting to Kawasaki-sama, Sasuke went towards Hachigai Street with Naruto a while ago."
"Good. You go about your business."
Kawasaki followed the direction of Hachigai Street and finally found the two little guys.
They each had a string of takoyaki in their hands. Naruto, with his increased allowance,
no longer felt inferior. He looked energetic.
"Naruto, Sasuke, you guys are here?"
Naruto heard the familiar voice and looked up excitedly: "Kawasaki-senpai!"
Sasuke respectfully called out: "Master."
Kawasaki gently tapped Sasuke's forehead with his finger:
"I heard you topped the test this week. As expected of our Uchiha kid, Sasuke, you're amazing."
Sasuke, hearing this straightforward praise, felt both proud and slightly embarrassed.
With a stiff face, he said arrogantly: "As a disciple of my master, I naturally can't let my master down."
Naruto looked at Sasuke with envy, a flicker of light in his eyes....
