"what!!!"

He suddenly let out a scream, his face contorted with shame and rage, turning into a grotesque, ghostly expression.

At this moment, he finally understood how Hyuga Taiju felt back then.

"You bastard! What are you doing?! Don't go too far! Let me go right now! Let me go!"

Hinata Makino screamed loudly.

The pain he was suffering at that moment was worse than death.

"Stop barking like a dog. Isn't this the punishment plan you came up with?"

I was just following your plan; blame yourself for it!

Rukawa, holding the end of the rope, leaped and jumped onto the top of the gate.

Then, he threaded the rope through the wooden post on the door frame, grabbed the end of the rope, and jumped down.

With the two of them hanging up and down, Hyuga Makino was immediately suspended in the air.

"No! No! Please beg me for mercy!"

I was just joking; I didn't mean to do something so outrageous. Please, please let me go!

Hyuga Makino, now suspended in mid-air, has a higher vantage point and sees more and more onlookers gathering in his direction.

He was so ashamed and angry that he began to beg Rukawa for mercy.

Rukawa pretended not to hear, tied the rope tightly to the door frame, and spoke calmly.

"I'm going to hang here for two days and two nights. No one can put me down until that time is up!"

At this point, Rukawa paused, and a sudden surge of oppressive power, like that of a king descending, rose from his body.

"If anyone dares to put this guy down prematurely, I won't mind hanging someone else on it."

As he said this, Rukawa's gaze remained fixed on Hyuga Hiashi.

The latter looked extremely unwell.

Threat! This is a naked threat!

Hiashi believed that if he dared to abandon Makino...

This arrogant brat in front of me will definitely strip the clan leader naked and hang him up.

After those extremely threatening words, even if the clan's ninjas were forcibly ordered to rescue them, probably no one would dare to do so!

Being stripped naked and hung at the village gate for everyone to see is so intimidating that no one wants to experience it for themselves.

"Ha! Looks like it's working well!"

Seeing the fear in the eyes of everyone around him, Rukawa nodded in satisfaction.

He turned around, a smile on his face, feeling happy and pleased with his success in exchanging gifts once again.

They hadn't gone far in the direction of the Uchiha clan's territory...

Whoosh!

The sound of breaking the sky sounded!

A rapidly spinning shuriken flew in from nowhere.

The shuriken slashed through the air, and the rope snapped.

Upon seeing this, Rukawa's smile vanished, his expression gradually darkened, and his joyful mood disappeared instantly.

Who dares to slap him in the face in public?!

"What! Are you going to hang me up there too?"

Before the person even appeared, an aged voice rang out.

"It's the Third Generation Lord! The Third Generation Lord has arrived!"

"Alright! The Third Hokage is here. Let's see if that Uchiha Rukawa guy still dares to be so arrogant!"

"Third Hokage, you must stand up for the Hyuga clan!"

...

The injured Hyuga clan members shouted excitedly.

The surrounding onlookers also became agitated. They hadn't expected even the Hokage to be alerted. This was going to be quite a show.

Amidst pairs of eyes filled with worship, awe, or reverence...

Hiruzen Sarutobi, wearing the Hokage hat, walked slowly towards them, followed closely by several Anbu ninja.

Chapter 30 This kid is a prodigy! Reward triggered!

"Interesting. I didn't expect the Hokage to come all this way for something so trivial!"

Rukawa looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had made a grand entrance, and said something rather displeased.

But just then, the system voice in my mind sounded again.

[Ding... Temporary mission triggered!]

[Mission Objective: Make Hiruzen Sarutobi, who always seems so calm and collected, angry in any way possible!]

[Reward for successful task: +2 daily check-in attempts]

Oh no! Another mission!

Although there are still only two chances to sign in, the tasks are relatively simple.

Provoking Hiruzen Sarutobi to get angry shouldn't be too difficult... Rukawa pinched his chin and began to ponder.

Hyuga Makino, who had fallen to the ground, didn't care at all about his swollen buttocks.

With a face full of grief and indignation, he launched into a tearful tirade against Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Lord Third Generation, I'm so miserable! Not only was I beaten up, but I was also humiliated in public like this!"

"If it weren't for your intervention, Third Generation Lord, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the courage to live anymore!"

Then, he angrily pointed at Rukawa and roared:

"This kid is the culprit! Lord Third Generation, you must not let him get away with this!"

"Don't worry! As the Hokage, I won't allow anyone to lay a hand on a fellow villager. I will definitely get justice for you!"

After a few words of comfort from Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hyuga Makino was so grateful that tears welled up in his eyes.

He's made up his mind. He'll join the Anbu and swear allegiance to the Hokage!

Having won over the hearts of the people, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Rukawa and said solemnly:

"Although I don't know why your strength has suddenly increased so much, you shouldn't take advantage of your strength to attack your fellow villagers!"

"As members of the Konoha family, the power we wield should be used to protect our comrades, not to harm them."

"But Uchiha Rukawa, look what you've done! Not only did you severely injure your comrade, but you also humiliated him like this. It's absolutely outrageous!"

"Your actions are tantamount to treason on the spot! You will be wanted and hunted down by the entire Hidden Leaf Village."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was weathered, and regret was evident in his eyes.

"It's such a pity that he's burdened with the crime of betraying the village at such a young age! What a pity! Sigh~"

Rukawa crossed his arms, expressionless, and quietly watched the other person perform.

Seeing that his opponent remained unmoved, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately changed the subject.

"However, considering your young age and the fact that you've suddenly gained immense power, causing you to lose yourself..."

Therefore, I can understand your behavior!

"But you did make a mistake, and even though you're young, you still have to pay the price for it!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused here, pretending to ponder for a moment before continuing:

"Come to the Anbu! There, I will personally teach you and make you a qualified Konoha ninja."

Working for the Anbu means serving the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

This way, you can not only grow, but also wash away the mistakes you've made!

Rukawa was speechless. After all that talk, it turned out he was trying to win him over.

But then I thought about it again and it seemed quite normal.

Given the cunning nature of the third generation, if they see a child who is both capable and talented, they will definitely take them back and give them a good brainwashing.

Itachi Uchiha is a typical example of someone who was successfully brainwashed by the Third Hokage.

"Lord Third Hokage, this...this isn't right!"

Hinata Makino said dryly.

Didn't you say you were going to help him get justice? How come you're suddenly going to recruit that brat into your secret service?

Moreover, judging from what the third generation said, it seems they intend to take the other person as a disciple.

What's happening here?

He was completely stunned!

"I have my own plans!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi gave a perfunctory reply and then ignored him.

How can an ordinary Jonin compare to a monstrous genius?

Then, he extended his hand to Rukawa, a chrysanthemum-like smile blooming on his old face.

"Come on, Rukawa! Come back with me and learn the Will of Fire properly. With your strength, you should shine for Konoha!"

In his mind, with the Hokage personally extending an invitation and showing respect to talent, Rukawa would definitely accept without hesitation!

With a little training, he could have another useful and loyal subordinate. Hiruzen Sarutobi was secretly pleased.

"Get lost! Don't give me that disgusting look! It almost made me throw up my dinner from last night!"

Rukawa looked disgusted and showed no respect for the other person.

"Also, don't use such disgusting names on me. It makes me want to smash your stinking mouth to pieces!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's friendly smile froze. Since he became Hokage, no one had ever dared to speak to him like that.

Don't be angry, don't be angry... it's just innocent childish talk.

The primary responsibility for such a spoiled child lies with the parents.

Immediately, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Fugaku, who was watching the spectacle, and demanded:

"Fugaku, is this the good son you raised? How did you educate him?"

This is utterly disrespectful! How dare they be so disrespectful to me, the Hokage!

Fugaku continued eating his melon, not even lifting his eyelids, as if he were deaf.

Actually, he felt quite pleased to see the third generation being criticized—he never thought that this old fox would have his day.

Over there, it was the head guard next to Hiruzen who couldn't hold back any longer.

The saying goes, "A subject dies when his lord is humiliated." Since the Hokage was publicly shamed, this bodyguard had to stand up and uphold the Hokage's dignity.

He immediately took two steps forward and angrily shouted:

"Kid! Watch your attitude! It's a great honor for you that the Hokage appreciates you!"

Not only did you not accept it with gratitude, but you even dared to insult the Hokage! I think you are...

Snapped!

Click! !

"When did a dog get a chance to interrupt!"

In an instant, Rukawa appeared in front of the guard leader and slapped him away!

A dozen meters away, the mask on the head of the guards' face was completely shattered, and his nose was knocked crooked.
