Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and called a ninja over. He chatted with him for a while and played the emotional card.
The jonin was very touched. He didn't expect that the Third Hokage cared about him and would entrust him with important tasks next?
Just as he was thinking about this, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly mentioned the matter of a subordinate he had unfortunately lost recently.
When he mentioned this matter, the jonin suddenly felt sad.
Sarutobi Hiruzen comforted him a few words: "I'm going to find a new team member for you to make up for the lost position."
It's rare that the Hokage is so busy and still cares about him. The jonin cast a grateful look.
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and handed over a piece of information.
The jonin took it with both hands and quickly browsed it.
"What do you think of Haru?"
"He is a genius." The jonin's evaluation of Haru was just one word.
"Well, then I'm going to put him in your team, what do you think?"
The jonin's face froze, and he politely refused: "Sorry, Hokage-sama, my strength may not be enough to take on such a genius. Putting him in my team will bury his talent. I think it's more appropriate to recommend him to someone else."
He knew that Haru was notorious.
The circle of jonin was so small, and it was common for them to communicate with each other.
It was said that this person had an extremely strange personality. He was obviously talented, but he was too afraid of death.
He often found various reasons not to go for tasks that were more difficult than C-level. Even if he went, he would take an extremely negative attitude to deal with it.
Once, a special jonin planned to educate Haru and make him obey discipline, but he almost overturned and was beaten by a genin.
Although the special jonin was not very good at fighting, that was also relative. His title had the word "special" in it.
Haru was only twelve years old and had such strength. In another year or two, he will probably be a standard jonin.
If there is another conflict, as a jonin, if he fails to win, he will be ruined and become a laughing stock.
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not force him and let the jonin retreat. Then he tried to find a few jonin to ask if they were willing to accept Haru.
Although the answers of these jonins were different, the general meaning was the same.
I am not very knowledgeable. Lord Hokage, please find someone else.
In fact, it is okay for Haru to disobey discipline. At most, he can be treated as a transparent person. But the problem is that he will destroy the team atmosphere.
He often ridicules others for not having the talent to be a ninja and might as well go back to raise pigs.
In addition, compared with Haru, who is a genius, other genins have the idea of giving up being a ninja...
Sarutobi Hiruzen knows more or less about Haru's behavior of destroying the team atmosphere.
He has asked Tsunade and others, who are also friends, about Haru's situation.
According to them, Haru has become extremely afraid of death because of his tragic life experience.
He is also afraid of the death of people around him, which leads to emotional changes, so he doesn't communicate with people much and keeps a distance from most people.
But he is not the kind of person who is completely closed. He can still make friends, but it is limited to friends with strong talents and strength, such as his three disciples.
Because strong people are not easy to die, Haru can be relatively free from worrying about them having accidents and feeling sad.
However, it does not mean that Haru is willing to communicate because of his good talent.
According to him, although he has good talent and is not prone to accidents, the probability of accidents will increase in reputation,so the number of friends must be strictly controlled.
There are many children like this whose personalities have changed drastically because of their childhood experiences. Haru is just one of the more special examples.
Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was having a headache about how to deal with Haru, a girl entered the room.
She is in her teens, with a very eye-catching golden ponytail, a wisp of hair hanging down in front of her forehead, a pair of big and moist almond eyes, a oval face.
She is Tsunade. In the past two years, she has grown a lot compared to the past, except for her breasts.
"Huh? Tsunade, why are you back?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was surprised. He remembered that at this time, the other party should be on a mission.
Tsunade walked into the Hokage's office as if she were at home: "The mission went smoothly, so I completed it ahead of schedule, so I came back early and visited the old man."
Sarutobi Hiruzen protested: "Hey, I'm still young, okay."
Tsunade complained: "Who told you to grow a beard? You look older than my first grandfather ."
It makes sense, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly.
I don't know if it's because he has to deal with a lot of things every day as a Hokage, he always feels that he has aged very quickly recently, and is often teased by Biwako that he looks like a man in his forties.
Tsunade had nothing to do now, so she asked casually, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Old man, you looked very distressed just now."
The protest was ineffective, and Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, "It's your friend Haru."
Tsunade was stunned, "What's wrong with him?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled bitterly and took out a stack of transfer applications related to Haru from the drawer.
Tsunade picked up a few and looked at them, and said speechlessly, "Haru is really a troublemaker."
Tsunade was not surprised that he would do such a thing. This guy would do anything to cherish his life. His personality had changed a lot from dreaming about becoming Hokage to now this.
"Haru, but he has the talent to be a ninja. Do you think there is any way to guide him to the right path?" Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to listen to Tsunade's opinion, who knew Haru better.
Tsunade waved her hand quickly, "Don't ask me, I don't know how to guide this weirdo to the right path."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
"But..."
"But what?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes lit up and asked.
"Actually... it's easy to get Haru to be a ninja."
"???"
"Just give him a reason he can't refuse."
"What do you mean?"
"Haru is a greedy guy. I think he will have a flexible bottom line of principles only if the money is given."
Haru personality has changed a lot in last few years. Haru gradually shifted to focus on money because of few reasons.
His thoughts were a little naive before. He thought he could perform good enough in school and then perform exceptionally well in Second Shinobi World war and become Hokage, marry Tsunade.
He thought he didn't needed anyone's help. But After death of Daimyo's nephew, he knew that his strength was too low and he developed a cowardly cautious personality
And after he knew how much help Uchiha clan could give to him. He had completely cut off from Hokage faction.
He practiced very hard. He knew Hirzen would never hand over Hokage position to Uchiha even if he didn't expose sharingan. So he became lazy in mission and lnew that to help Uchiha he needed money to seperate from Daimyo's control
Back to reality
Sarutobi Hiruzen:...
After a pause, he smiled bitterly: "But even if I say that, I can't just give him money. Wouldn't that be a bribe?"
"I didn't say to give him money directly. Just change your mindset a little."
"Change your mindset?"
"That's easy. For ordinary tasks, just let him complete the task alone."
"Let him complete the task alone?"
"Give him the task that was originally a four-person team to execute alone, wouldn't he naturally get more money?
"Besides, he's the only one, so he can't be lazy. I think for the sake of the money, he will be more serious than anyone else. Of course, this premise is that the task can't be too difficult."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent, thinking about it.
"I have already given you the method. As for whether you adopt it or not, I don't care. "
Tsunade felt bored staying in the Hokage's office, so she went straight home after saying this.
There was a new baby in the family recently, and she wanted to go back to visit her brother.
After Tsunade left, Hiruzen was the only one left in the office.
He stood up from his seat, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside through the glass, and murmured: "It may be possible to be alone~ "
After adopting Tsunade's suggestion, the result was just as Tsunade expected. Haru changed his lazy style and worked very actively and seriously.
Especially those C and D-level tasks of finding cats and dogs, which were looked down upon by ordinary ninjas, Haru completed them and was happier than anyone else.
For him, it was not just cats and dogs that he was looking for, but money.
Usually when there were four people, he had no motivation to find cats and dogs, after all, the money would be divided and there would be little left, but now it was different. If he found a cat, the money would be all his, so he was happy to do it.
As for the tasks above C level, Aokiji said that he was not stupid and would not touch them.
He lived a good life like this for a while.
One day, Elder Yasuhi suddenly found him and stunned him as soon as he opened his mouth. He thought his ears were broken.
"Haru, I have two super S-level tasks here, listen carefully."
Haru:
Super S-level tasks.!
And There are two of them!!
