Chapter 16: Hokage Grandpa! Hang In There! (1/2)

Boom——!

High-temperature flames swept across the entrance of the Hokage's office!

"Ah!!!"

Screams echoed amidst the flames.

The two guard ninjas did try to respond.

But subconsciously, who would believe a little kid could use such a powerful jutsu?

At most, it was a D-rank basic jutsu, or at the highest, a C-rank one.

B-rank? Was he fully developed? Did he have that much chakra?

Fugaku: I thought the same thing yesterday.

So their response was to... take two steps forward.

At this distance, a single Body Flicker would allow them to subdue the kid. Why dodge?

We're guarding the main entrance of the Hokage's office!

We represent Hokage-sama's face!

Can we be scared away by an Uchiha brat? What a joke!

And then they took the fire release head-on...

Wakaho actually held back.

What he was doing was equivalent to what?

A six-year-old child rescuing the village head, single-handedly storming the town hall with an AK!

The key was that besides the two gate guards, there was also a group of Anbu inside.

Anbu, the elite tactical unit, equivalent to SWAT.

Equipped with sniper rifles!

But these Anbu "SWAT" wouldn't "sniper" a little kid.

Beginner's protection period, especially for an Uchiha during this period, still had some effect.

Konoha indeed ostracized the Uchiha.

But if they weren't apprehensive, why ostracize them?

Killing a young Uchiha genius in the village would likely prepare for war.

However, that's easier said than done.

Pretending to be innocent was one thing.

But Wakaho wasn't stupid enough to commit murder in broad daylight.

An AK could be wielded, but it had to be a water gun.

So Wakaho used the minimum amount of chakra, focusing more on the scale and less on the intensity of the jutsu.

After all, practicing one jutsu to perfection had its benefits.

Mastering the Great Fireball Technique provided experience that could be applied to other jutsu as well.

But no matter what...

This was still a fire release!

It could be dodged, blocked, or even dispersed in a flashy manner like Might Guy did during the Chunin Exam to save Lee.

But taking it head-on... probably wasn't the best idea.

"Ah!!!"

The two guard ninjas were sent flying, landing on the ground, curling up, clutching their faces, screaming in pain.

"Wait!" Wakaho's heart skipped a beat. Were these guys always this brave? Taking a fire release to the face? Did they... not make it?

"What!?" The Third Hokage's eye twitched. The Will of Fire could be this intense?

"Intruder alert!!!" The Anbu in hiding all mobilized; the Hokage's office was under attack!

Who was the enemy!?

Daring to attack the Hokage's office in broad daylight!?

Was it a covert operation by the Hidden Cloud again? Were the Barrier Squad members all blind!?

"Kid! Did you see any suspicious people? Where did they go!?"

Today's Anbu guard captain shouted.

As a captain, his strength was undoubtedly formidable.

Although he was looking in another direction just now, he arrived at the scene immediately.

Then a subordinate flashed to his side, whispering a report on the real situation.

This subordinate was somewhat panicked while reporting.

He saw everything but didn't expect the kid to really dare...

And to actually pull off a B-rank fire release bombarding the Hokage's office!

"Suspicious people? You guys look suspicious to me!"

At this point, Wakaho had no choice but to go all the way.

"I'm telling you, don't think I'm scared just because you're wearing masks. We Uchiha men fear nothing!"
