Coming Straight to the Door! [First Update, Please Subscribe]

Orochimaru was right about that. They were both in the same boat, because neither of the two old men would be easy to deal with. Danzo was far too suspicious, so doubts were unavoidable. The Third Hokage was upright, but also somewhat stubborn, making him difficult to persuade. Winning him over would be no easier than winning over Danzo.

"Hahaha, then let's work separately."

Orochimaru's words made Hikaru burst out laughing again. The Anbu members stationed nearby to keep anyone from approaching were all baffled. They were curious about what the two had discussed and why Hikaru kept laughing so loudly. He seemed to be in quite a good mood.

After parting ways, Hikaru and Orochimaru left Ichiraku Ramen together and went to deal with the two old men.

The difference was that Orochimaru needed an excuse to dispel Danzo's suspicions, while Hikaru needed to persuade the Third Hokage head-on.

After leaving Ichiraku Ramen, Hikaru went straight to the Hokage Office Building. Without knocking, he directly entered the Hokage's Office.

Several teams waiting to receive missions had originally been annoyed. Who was so rude? Didn't they know this was Hokage Lord's office? They had actually come in without even knocking.

But when they turned around with displeased expressions, they immediately lost their nerve. They obediently stood properly and pretended nothing had happened.

Hikaru gave them a half-smiling glance, said nothing, and lay down directly on the sofa. Although the two bowls of ramen had made him feel much better, a hangover was not so easily cured.

"You there, pour me a cup of tea."

Hikaru sprawled on the sofa without a shred of dignity and called out to one of them.

"Me?!" Kairou Yeno pointed at himself with a bewildered look. He was the team's leader, one of Konoha's jonin.
