Someone in Konoha, Stats Double Every Day! Section 23

Indeed.

The position of Hokage isn't something just anyone can hold.

Only someone as diligent as myself can handle this difficult job.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

At that moment, a ninja from the communication room entered.

"Lord Hokage, an urgent letter from the Land of Hot Water."

"Oh?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi accepted the letter with slight surprise.

The Land of Hot Water?

Hadn't the problem already been resolved?

"Hmm? This is a letter of thanks? And it says to give the Happy Hot Springs to Han Guang?"

Reading the contents of the letter, Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled in amusement.

The letter was from Minako, the newly appointed Daimyo of the Land of Hot Water. Not only did it express gratitude to Konohagakure, but it also specifically stated that the Happy Hot Springs within Konohagakure were to be transferred to Han Guang of Team 9.

Not only that.

The letter concluded by welcoming Han Guang to visit the Land of Hot Water at any time.

"Han Guang? Didn't he die in battle?"

Seeing the end of the letter, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly.

Minako should know that Han Guang died in battle, so why would she extend an invitation at the end?

"Someone, go find out if Han Guang has returned to the village."

Following Hiruzen Sarutobi's command, an ANBU member appeared and then vanished with a Shunshin.

A moment later.

The ANBU reported that Han Guang had indeed returned to the village.

Hearing this news, Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped his desk.

"A dead last who should have died in battle."

"And he's even been written into the textbooks, becoming a carrier of the Will of Fire."

"If this person makes a mistake in future missions, won't it ruin his positive image?"

"How can such a positive figure still be alive?"

Thinking this.

He picked up the mission log and began flipping through the missions.

His gaze fell upon a B-rank mission, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's face showed emotion.

"Indeed, there are still too many missions for the village."

"This mission, I think, is very suitable for Team 9!"

Chapter 18: Became a Billionaire Just by Sleeping?

The afternoon sun was a bit harsh.

Fortunately, the jujube tree in the yard provided Han Guang with a strong umbrella.

Given his personality, he wouldn't consider it a perfect nap unless he slept until evening. Unfortunately, his plans were interrupted by his teacher's proposal for a dinner gathering that night.

"Since it's a gathering, I don't even need to cook."

After washing his face, Han Guang decided to combine lunch and dinner.

After all, it was his teacher's kind gesture.

The barbecue restaurant.

It was crowded and incredibly noisy.

To be honest, Han Guang hadn't been here many times in his life, mainly because it was too expensive.

It was like how low-income individuals rarely go to Western restaurants.

"Han Guang, sit here."

Rin pointed to the seat beside her, her face beaming with joy.

"Huh? Why aren't you letting me sit here?" Obito said with some displeasure.

Why didn't Rin invite him? Han Guang was a pervert who dared to sleep with his employer.

Facing Rin's invitation, Han Guang had no reservations and sat down directly.

"Hey, Han Guang, let's switch seats," Obito whispered.

"No," Han Guang refused outright.

"Hey Kakashi, why don't you switch places with Rin?"

"Heh~~" Kakashi sneered.

Obito felt isolated, but he had no proof.

"Where's Teacher Guy?"

"Not here yet."

Since their teacher hadn't arrived, the four of them could only wait.

They couldn't possibly start eating before the person paying had even shown up, right?

"Well, well, isn't this Team 9? All here."

Suddenly, an ill-timed voice rang out, seemingly from a side table.

With such a sarcastic tone, Team 9 collectively looked over.

Anko Mitarashi?

"Oh, it's you, Green Bean," Han Guang chuckled.

"Little Green Bean," Obito chimed in.

"I feel like she's got it out for us," Rin whispered.

Anko Mitarashi indeed had it out for Team 9.

The reason was that back in the Ninja Academy, she had wanted to join Han Guang's group of dead last students, but she wasn't accepted.

"Three dead last students, plus a guy who doesn't care if his teammates die and only knows how to complete missions. Your Team 9 has it tough."

Anko Mitarashi didn't back down and retorted.

Her words even included Kakashi.

Of course, Anko Mitarashi wasn't afraid of Kakashi because her teacher was one of the Sannin, Orochimaru, giving her powerful backing.

"Clown," Kakashi glanced at her and said dismissively.

But as soon as he said it, he realized something and changed his words.

"Green Bean Clown."

"Hey, dead-eyed fish," Anko Mitarashi shot back.

Seeing his teammates being insulted, Obito joined the verbal spat.

"Green Bean Fly!"

"Dead last!"

"Green Bean Big-Headed Fly."

"Dead last."

Listening to the two of them bicker, Han Guang's head was buzzing.

As the captain of Team 9, he had to quickly end this argument.

"Your mom..."

Before he could finish, Han Guang quickly shut his mouth.

Because he saw Teacher Guy standing at the entrance.

"Forget it, Obito, enduring for a moment brings peace," Han Guang advised kindly, giving him a meaningful look.

It was a special look shared between dead last students, and Obito immediately understood.

The look meant: the teacher was here.

Team 9 fell silent, and Anko Mitarashi was overjoyed.
