Chapter 161: Face it, don’t escape
boom!
Suddenly, an unusually mature woman with long light yellow hair kicked the door open.
The person who came was none other than Tsunade.
She said to the Sandaime:
"Old man, you still like to talk nonsense with these three old men and women who are behind the times."
When Danzo saw the person coming, he couldn't help but educate him:
"Tsunade! You are too unruly!!"
"This is the Hokage's office!!"
Tsunade didn't bother to pay attention to Danzo, so she moved a chair and sat next to Haneda.
For a moment, the office fell into a long silence.
The Sandaime took a few puffs from his pipe and said calmly:
"I asked you to come here today, but there's nothing to do."
"That's it, Sakumo, Haneda."
"You guys go back and have a good rest first. Konoha will not treat heroes unfairly."
Hearing this, Danzo understood what Hiruzen meant, and he warned him:
"Huruzen! Uchiha..."
"Danzo, let's end this here for today!" The Sandaime interrupted Danzo.
Seeing this, Danzo knew that Hiruzen was planning to smooth things over and pretend that what happened today had never happened.
He stood up, and said angrily:
"You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"
"I am the Hokage!"
boom!
The newly replaced door of the office was slammed shut.
Haneda looked at Sakumo and Tsunade, then opened the door and left the office.
Mitomon En and Utane Koharu looked at each other in silence, sighed, and left silently.
The Sandaime was the only one left in the Hokage's office, smoking his pipe alone.
At this time, Haneda, Sakumo and Tsunade left the Hokage Building.
Walking on the commercial street, Tsunade and Sakumo accompanied Haneda all the way.
Seeing Haneda's gloomy look, Tsunade stopped, stopped Haneda and said:
"I've heard what happened to you."
"I've been through some similar things, and I know how you feel."
Tsunade noticed that there was still no change on Haneda's face, bit her lip and said:
"Little devil! Are you so proud of yourself just because I give you a little face?"
"Listen to me!"
Tsunade grabbed Haneda by the collar and lifted him up violently.
“If you are dissatisfied with the world, change it instead of escaping from it or complaining about it.”
"This is what you said to me, and now I give it back to you!"
"Get lost! Uchiha brat!"
"You can't even do what you said. I don't know what qualifications you had to teach me in the first place?!"
Tsunade let go of Haneda's collar and turned to leave.
Watching Tsunade's departing back, Haneda opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but then closed his lips again.
Finally, he said to Sakumo:
"I want to be alone, so let's say goodbye here, Uncle Sakumo."
"Okay. Take care."
Sakumo nodded and watched Haneda walk alone towards the Uchiha clan territory step by step.
Under the sunlight, the shadows stretched out very long and were eventually buried in the crowd.
…………
Return to the Uchiha clan's territory, where Haneda was born and has lived for a long time.
Unconsciously, he arrived at Obito's doorstep.
Haneda picked up Obito's amulet and stood under a tree for a long time.
Until a familiar and kind voice sounded in my ears.
"Haneda-chan, you're back?!" Obito's grandmother said in surprise.
Seeing this, Haneda quickly hid Obito's amulet, pretended to be calm, and said with a smile:
"It's grandma. I haven't seen you for a long time. I've been missing the food she cooked."
"Oh, the food and accommodation on the battlefield are not good."
Grandma held Haneda's hand and said kindly,
"Let's go back to the house. Grandma just finished cooking and wants to sit at the door for a while until the food is cold. Then I'll see you."
"Are you hungry?"
Haneda originally wanted to refuse, but his stomach growled.
Grandma smiled and took Haneda's little hand and walked into the house.
Nothing has changed since when his grandmother invited him to dinner as a child.
When I walked into the house, I was greeted by the strong smell of rice.
Familiar memories attacked Haneda, but were finally broken by the kind voice.
"Sit down and eat."
"I didn't know that you would be back today, little Haneda. I, your grandma, would definitely cook you a table full of your favorite dishes."
Grandma took out a bottle of orange juice from the refrigerator, poured a full bowl of it, and placed it in front of Haneda.
The meal was also served at this time.
Haneda looked at his favorite drink and felt a sour and blocked nose.
I choked a little as I put the food into my mouth.
But in order to prevent his grandmother from noticing anything, Haneda pretended nothing had happened.
"By the way, is little Obito coming back today too?"
Grandma finished her work and asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Haneda immediately said:
"Obito..."
"Although it's the end of the year, the village and Iwagakure have reached a truce."
"But in order to prevent Iwagakure from attacking Konoha, Obito took the initiative to stay."
"Grandma, you know, Obito always loves the village so much."
When grandma heard this, she was disappointed for a while, then she said happily:
"Yeah, little Obito's dream is to become Hokage."
"When he was little, he told grandma to wait and see him become Hokage with his own eyes."
"Yes, grandma. I also believe that he can become Hokage." Haneda said with a smile.
dong dong dong~
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
Haneda heard the noise and feared that it was news from the village about Obito's death, so he hurried to open the door.
He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw it was Fugaku and the clan leader.
When Fugaku saw Haneda, he comforted him:
"Haneda, we already know about the Hokage Building."
"Even though Obito..."
"Obito is fine." Haneda interrupted Fugaku and quickly pulled Fugaku aside.
The patriarch glanced at Haneda, then at the grandmother in the house, and understood something.
He followed silently.
"Brother Fugaku, please keep the news about Obito a secret for me. It would be best if you can keep it a secret from the village as well."
Haneda said in a pleading tone.
This was the first time Fugaku had heard such a tone.
He nodded without hesitation.
"Okay. I'll do my best to help you."
The patriarch then said:
"The Uchiha will help you keep the news secret, and I will also help you talk to the Hokage, Haneda."
"Although things have come to this, but..."
"You also have to think about yourself and the people around you."
"I heard that your teacher Sakumo and your friend Kakashi were very concerned about you on the battlefield."
The clan leader put a hand on Haneda's shoulder and said:
"When this period is over, you will find that you are the same as before, and we are the same as before."
“The village won’t change, and neither will anyone.”
"My condolences and acceptance."
After hearing the last sentence, Haneda raised his head and said:
"No. Obito is not dead!"
"I'll bring him back!"
Seeing this, the clan leader and Fugaku looked at each other and sighed silently.
And Haneda's eyes were fixed on Obito's house.
He remembered another battle - the Battle of Platycodon Hill!
Obito will definitely rush to Kakashi and Rin by that time!
That was the arrangement of Madara and Black Zetsu, and they would definitely arrange it that way!
Just wait, Oh Beato!
I will definitely bring you back, back to us!
