Chapter 202: A Hero’s Twilight
"We common people are really, really happy today~"
Humming a song that no one else could understand, Kawakaze leisurely strolled to the Sarutobi Clan's territory.
At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi had neither the heart nor the face to attend to work. It seemed as if he was waiting for someone at home.
"Who are you?"
Before long, Kawakaze was stopped by several Sarutobi Clan ninjas. Their expressions were unsettling, and their tone was laced with arrogance, clearly feigning ignorance of who he was.
"Kawakaze Hatake, here to see Lord Hokage," Kawakaze replied calmly. "Please go and announce my arrival."
He didn't let their attitude bother him. These were just lowly minions, unworthy of his frustration. Kawakaze even managed a polite smile.
"These days, just about anyone comes to see Lord Hokage," one of the ninjas sneered.
"Where does he find the time? I'm sorry, but today Lord Hokage is not feeling well and is not receiving visitors," said the leader, his tone mocking.
The group exchanged smug laughter, using the excuse to dismiss Kawakaze. They knew exactly who he was and what he had done, but they had no intention of showing him respect.
"Oh, really?" Kawakaze replied, still composed.
