Chapter 250: Damingfu Arson Case, Calling a Stag a Horse

"You're not working hard enough. You've been an elder for such a long time, but you haven't adapted to your job yet."

"Shikaku, you have to fight and work harder for Konoha!"

Haneda opened the office door and lay down comfortably on the Hokage chair.

Hearing this, Shikaku was shocked by Haneda's shamelessness.

What's not working hard enough?

I often start work at seven o'clock and work overtime until twelve o'clock at night, and only sleep six hours a day.

You, the Hokage, punch in and out every day, and your total working hours are less than two and a half hours a day, and you say that I am not working hard enough?

But under the power of the Fifth Hokage Haneda, Shikaku ultimately said nothing.

Of course, Haneda didn't seem to be indifferent, and came over to encourage Shikaku.

He took out an intelligence scroll and threw it to Shikaku:

"The daimyo's mansion was attacked by an illegal organization."

"The entire Daming Prefecture, which covered an area of ​​12 square kilometers, was burned down, leaving only the main hall."

Shikaku looked at the intelligence scroll, listened to Haneda's words, and subconsciously looked at Haneda:

"What did you do?"

"Stop talking nonsense, okay? I'm the Hokage, I would never do such sneaky things!"

Haneda patted his chest and said, and then added in a low voice,

"I sent other organizations to do it. Anyway, they were not from Konoha."

"..."

Shikaku knew it was Haneda who did it. He thought for a moment and asked:

"Hokage-sama, what are your plans next?"

"Of course we are heading to the Daimyo's mansion. The Daimyo has been attacked by a terrorist organization. As the military organization of the Land of Fire, how can we, Konoha, not go and investigate!"

As he spoke, Haneda walked over to Shikaku and held his shoulders.

With a whoosh, Flying Thunder God started up, and the two of them immediately arrived at Daming Mansion.

At this time, the originally luxurious buildings of Daming Prefecture were burned down to ruins.

There were traces of burnt fire everywhere, all black.

Inside the mansion, many people were using basins to collect water from outside to put out the flames which had not yet completely extinguished.

Haneda stood on a high place and said loudly:

"I am the Hokage of Konoha. I will seek justice for the Daimyo's mansion arson last night!"

After saying that, Haneda created a shadow clone and performed fire and water ninjutsu towards the sky.

A large amount of white steam filled the sky, and the strange phenomenon attracted people's attention.

Not long after, the sky over Daming Prefecture was covered with dark clouds.

Rain fell from the sky, dousing the remaining fires.

Amid the cheers and gratitude of the crowd, Haneda walked towards the main hall step by step.

The ministers who met him on the road all took detours and did not dare to get too close to Haneda.

There was a big fire in the daimyo's mansion last night, and the fifth generation came here this morning.

Who doesn’t know whether the Daimyo Prefecture arson case is related to Haneda?

Amid the whispers of many ministers, Haneda brought Shikaku to the main hall which was relatively well preserved.

At this time, the daimyo was sitting on a throne similar to a dragon throne, still in shock.

He noticed Haneda coming over and subconsciously climbed over the dragon throne and hid behind it.

He looked like he was terribly afraid of Haneda.

"Daimyo, I, the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Haneda, am here. Why don't you come to see me?"

Haneda walked into the center of the main hall, where all the ministers could clearly see him.

The daimyo suppressed his fear and poked his head out from the dragon throne.

He knew very well what happened last night.

A terrible woman sneaked into the mansion and set a fire.

Anyone who tried to attack her was steamed into a mummy. It was so horrifying!

There was another person, pointing a machete at his neck, performing an illusion on him.

Let him see Haneda's devilish face again!

The daimyo said with fear:

"I'm here, I'm here, don't kill me, I will definitely mobilize the resources of the whole country to win the favor of Konoha!"

"I really won't dare to do that again! Godaime!"

All the ministers witnessed the daimyo's embarrassing and incompetent performance.

Some were disappointed with the daimyo, some were angry at Haneda, and some had speculative ideas...

Haneda ignored the daimyo and glanced at the reactions of the many ministers.

He nodded in satisfaction and clapped his hands. A deer was carried up by the Root Ninja:

"The Daimyo has been attacked by a terrorist organization. As the Hokage of Konoha, I am sending you here to express my condolences."

An honest minister helped Haneda correct his mistake: "Hokage, are you mistaken? This is a deer."

Haneda squinted his eyes and smiled: "I think you are presbyopic. This is clearly a horse."

Haneda pointed at the deer and looked around the palace:

"Tell me, everyone, is this a deer or a horse?"

The ministers around him were silent for a moment.

Although most of them obtained their official positions through inheritance, their elders had taught them since childhood how to take sides.

They knew very well what the Fifth Generation wanted to express.

However, there were still some stubborn and loyal ministers who stood up and looked at Haneda angrily. The young man said angrily:

"What happens in the Daimyo Prefecture is up to the Daimyo and the loyal retainers. You are merely the Hokage of Konoha!"

"I said he was a deer, so what do you think?!"

Haneda came here to demonstrate and had no intention of letting the other party go.

He drew the Dawn from his waist, pointed at the ministers who dared to stand up, and said:

"Do you want to test whether my sword is sharp?!!"

"My sword is not bad either!!!"

The minister simply drew his sword and pointed it at Haneda.

This scene not only stunned many silent ministers, but even Haneda was stunned for a moment.

Three years later, after Zabuza, this was the first person who dared to point a knife at him.

And he's not even a powerful ninja!

Tear it apart! !

The sword flashed and the head fell to the ground.

Under the horrified gaze of the crowd, Haneda looked at the daimyo with a knife in hand:

"Daimyo, what is the crime for committing treason?"

"Death penalty, death penalty, must be death penalty!" Daimyo said very sincerely as he looked at the head falling in the blink of an eye.

Anyway, the people are dead and have no value anymore. It’s better to please Haneda and get rid of this plague god as soon as possible.

Haneda glanced at the ministers in the palace and asked again:

"I said this is a horse, what do you think?"

Even the loyal ministers who stood up for the daimyo were abandoned by him, and the other loyal ministers were already disheartened by seeing this.

Moreover, the daimyo himself said that anyone who committed the following offense would be punished by death.

Anyone who dares to refute can be executed on the spot by Haneda as the Hokage.

However, there were always some loyal ministers who were not afraid of death and stood up and cursed:

"Bah! You traitor! As the Hokage, you interfere in state affairs. Do you deserve the title of Hokage?!"

The knife flashed, and the head fell to the ground again.

Haneda smiled and said, "Is this a deer or a horse? Please come forward and tell us what you think."

The majority of people remain silent, but some speculators also believe that this is a horse.

They undoubtedly received recognition and praise from Haneda.

After a few minutes, when those who needed to die had done so and those who needed to express their opinions had expressed their opinions, Haneda announced:

"As the Hokage, I take responsibility for the arson of the Daimyo's mansion!"

"I will thoroughly investigate this arson case, find out the truth, and restore order to Daming Prefecture!"
