Chapter 227 Welcome home
Haneda and Fugaku were walking together, and he was thinking about Shisui.
He chose election rather than a coup, mainly because he was afraid of Shisui's Kotoamatsukami.
Although the Uchiha compete in illusion techniques, Haneda's eye power is far superior to Shisui's.
But who can say for sure that Kotoamatsukami can forcibly change the will of others?
Haneda became Hokage through formal means, and with Shisui's Will of Fire, it was impossible for him to use Kotoamatsukami on himself.
And after he becomes Hokage, part of Shisui's love for Konoha will be transformed into loyalty to himself.
As long as he doesn't directly and openly harm Konoha's interests, Shisui will only obey him.
Of course, Haneda wouldn't do that.
Fugaku said excitedly:
"Haneda didn't expect you to be so eloquent and good at public speaking. I feel like all the tribe members have come to admire and trust you."
Haneda said without hesitation:
“Some people are born orators.”
"As long as he is passionate and loyal enough to what he is speaking about, everything he thinks and his emotions will come out."
"That's just who I am."
Haneda tilted his head and looked at Fugaku:
"Except for Iwagakure's request for peace, there hasn't been any major incident in the village lately, right, Brother Fugaku?"
"Recently?"
Fugaku thought about it carefully and replied,
"The Sandaime came to talk to me about some things, about the Uchiha and the village, and occasionally mentioned you."
"Also, the Kumogakure delegation arrived in Konoha, and several of them were killed by the head of the Hyuga clan. They are causing quite a stir now."
Upon hearing the news about Kumogakure and Hinata, Haneda suddenly revealed a mysterious smile:
"It seems I came back just in time."
Haneda glanced at the street light. His home was right next to it.
"We're home now. We'll talk tomorrow, Brother Fugaku."
Haneda waved his hand and said goodbye to Fugaku. He walked a few steps, turned back and said,
"By the way, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, you can help me find Naruto's location."
"Minato's son? Are you planning to adopt him, Haneda?"
"Yeah. He's the one Minato entrusted to me."
After saying that, Haneda did not continue chatting with Fugaku.
He looked up at the house. The doors on the first floor were closed, but some doors on the second floor were still open.
It looks like Haku, Kimimaro and the others are already resting.
Haneda took out the key, opened the door, and walked in quietly.
The room was dark, with almost no light.
Haneda was about to turn on the light when suddenly the light in the living room came on.
With a plop, the spray microphone sprayed out colorful pieces of paper.
The small pieces of paper sparkled under the light, looking very beautiful.
"Welcome home, Mr. Haneda!"
Hearing the familiar voices, Haneda knew it was Shiro and Karin.
Kimimaro and Yamato each held a flower and walked towards Haneda and handed it to him.
"Long time no see, Yamato."
"Brother Fugaku and the others treat you well?"
"It's okay... Itachi is very nice to me, and Sasuke is very cute." Yamato said a little awkwardly.
Come to think of it, Haneda had been away from home for three years...
After not seeing each other for three years, I still feel a little strange.
However, looking at Haneda's sunny smile, that strange feeling quickly dissipated and became familiar.
"Mr. Haneda, look out the window!"
Kimimaro blew a whistle, and brilliant fireworks suddenly flew out of the window.
The fireworks flew into the sky and bloomed under the moonlight.
The sky was filled with colorful festive colors, and at some point, Haneda's eyes became moist.
He hasn't felt this kind of home for a long time...
"Hey!"
"Brother Haneda! Isn't this art very beautiful?"
"Yes, this is the fleeting beauty! Hmm!"
Deidara flew over on a giant clay bird.
He stopped outside the window, leaned against the wall, and began to admire the art of explosion as well.
Time moves quietly and slowly towards the moment when the fireworks stop.
Haneda stared at the sparkling fireworks, and his lips finally unconsciously formed a smile.
"Welcome home, you too!"
…………
The next day, early morning.
Haneda got up early and washed up.
After preparing breakfast for Bai and the others, he left a note on the dining table and quietly left the house.
After Fugaku returned, he found out Naruto's home and the places he often went to.
Haneda first went to Naruto's house, but didn't find anyone, so he went to Hokage Rock.
Naruto often carried a bucket of paint and ran to the Hokage Rock to color his father and previous Hokage.
Hokage Rock is the most conspicuous place in Konoha, and graffiti here will be seen by all the villagers.
And this way Naruto would attract enough attention.
Even if it's bad feeling, as long as it can attract other people's attention, it's good in Naruto's opinion.
After all, most villagers would just call him a fox demon and selectively ignore him.
Haneda stood at the foot of the Hokage Rock and felt a drop of unknown liquid drip on his head.
He looked up at Naruto, who was painting his dad on the Hokage Rock, and sighed.
Haneda jumped up, moving in a straight line on the Hokage Rock, and in almost the blink of an eye, he was behind Naruto.
He held Naruto's shoulders:
"Do you know that graffiti is very dangerous?"
"I know. No one cares about me anyway...eh?"
Naruto replied casually, looking back at Haneda's face.
After being surprised for a few seconds, he subconsciously stepped back and looked at Haneda warily:
"You're not here to arrest me, are you?"
"I'm here to take you home." Haneda smiled what he thought was his most friendly smile and extended his hand to Naruto.
But in Naruto's opinion, they were evil human traffickers who captured him and sold him for money!
He just ran away.
Seeing this, Haneda's smile froze for half a second.
He instantly appeared in front of Naruto, and Naruto's head just hit Haneda's lower body.
"Ah?"
Naruto looked up a little embarrassedly, but saw Haneda chasing after him like a ghost. He pointed at Haneda and said in surprise,
"How come you're running so fast? Are you a ninja sent by Grandpa Hokage to catch me?"
"I said I'm not going back! I don't want to go back!"
"BAA Baa baa!"
Naruto made a face and ran back.
But this time, Haneda directly grabbed his right hand.
"I told you, I'll take you home."
"I don't have a home, can you please stop bothering me?" Naruto said angrily.
Seeing that Haneda was still pestering him, he struggled hard, but to no avail.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and punched Haneda in the chest.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
The moment his fist touched Haneda's abdominal muscles, Naruto realized his mistake and apologized quickly.
"I deserve this."
Haneda squatted down and reached out to Naruto again:
"Come back with me, I'll give you a home."
Naruto heard "home" and hesitated.
"I just lied to you. I have a home. I always have. Well, Grandpa Hokage comes to visit me from time to time. I always have a home."
Gululu~
Suddenly, Naruto's stomach growled.
Haneda realized something and said:
"You didn't have breakfast?"
"How about I treat you to some Ichiraku Ramen?"
