Chapter 254: Danzo is shocked, Kakashi returns to the village

Konoha Prison.

Danzo sat on a chair, knitting a sweater carefully, needle and thread.

Originally, prisons did not require criminals to do these jobs.

But after Haneda came to power, he felt that the criminals were just sitting there doing nothing, so they might as well do something for the village and atone for their sins.

Danzo used to be the leader of the Root, second only to the emperor himself, so naturally he looked down upon Haneda's behavior.

But Hiruzen wants a red scarf...

He finally succumbed to Haneda's tyranny.

Da da da……

Familiar footsteps sounded in the corridor, and Danzo knew it was Hiruzen coming to visit him with dinner.

He put the threaded needle and thread into the basket where the wool ball was, dragged the half-buried body to move a stool for Hiruzen.

"Sit down, Hiruzen."

Danzo greeted him habitually and opened the lunch box.

Since Haneda had limited the visiting time to half an hour, he had no choice but to ask while eating:

"The situation in the village is very bad now, right?"

"The Daimyofu will definitely stop Konoha's funding, and may even encourage Kumogakure to continue fighting Konoha, or even support Kumogakure in secret!"

"Konoha is doomed to decline under the leadership of that inherently evil Uchiha brat!"

"I knew you'd regret this, Hiruzen!"

"If you had given that naturally evil Uchiha brat to me to train twelve years ago, Konoha wouldn't be like this!"

Hiruzen lowered his head in embarrassment, he had thought the same thing before.

However, no one expected that Haneda would directly use force to threaten the officials of the daimyo prefecture to take sides, thus sidelining the daimyo's power.

He also arrested officials who opposed him and took 5 billion taels back to the village.

Which ninja could have imagined that Haneda would dare to openly counter the daimyo?

"actually……"

Danzo waved his hand, interrupting Hiruzen's words:

"Stop talking, Hiruzen. I already guessed it."

"That old man Daimyo will definitely cancel all the funding for this year!"

"Even if that brat begs, even if he begs with all his might, he will only get the fate of the Fourth Kazekage!"

Hiruzen reluctantly stated the truth:

"You are wrong, Danzo."

"Haneda has sidelined the daimyo and brought 5 billion ryo back to the village. I heard that the daimyo's funds will double this year."

Danzo thought he had misheard, but when he heard that the Daimyo Prefecture would double the funds, he immediately slammed the table and stood up, questioning:

"Five billion? Five billion!"

"Huruzen, are you kidding me? This much money, not counting the expenses of the entire Konoha, would take five or six years to earn!!"

Hiruzen explained, "Haneda raided many of the ministers' homes and even established a daimyo."

Hearing this, Danzo was stunned.

Haneda did what he wanted to do when he was young, but finally stopped due to the pressure of public opinion in the ninja world.

Suddenly, Danzo sneered:

"The naturally evil Uchiha brat has yet to be beaten by reality."

"His behavior offends not only the daimyo and the nobles in the daimyo's mansion."

"Generals and officials from other parts of the Fire Nation cannot stand a ninja riding on their heads."

"The daimyo of other countries are afraid that the leaders of their own ninja villages will repeat the actions of the Haneda brat."

“These people will definitely take action!”

Hiruzen was of course aware of the price that Haneda paid for what he did, so he kindly reminded him:

"Danzo, Tsunade has returned to the village. She is on her way to invite Jiraiya back to the village."

Danzo said disdainfully: "Tsunade suffers from hemophobia, her strength is less than half, Jiraiya is at most responsible for the front line."

"Don't even mention how strong Haneda brat is. Even if he is the Sage of the Six Paths, he can't handle four fronts alone!"

Hiruzen coughed a few times and whispered:

"The Uchiha now have four pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Quadruple-double? Quadruple-double!!!"

Danzo widened his only eye and looked at Hiruzen in disbelief.

Hiruzen explained, "Uchiha Haneda, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi."

"Itachi awakened the night you attacked Shisui. I don't know when Fugaku awakened, but he did."

Danzo knew that Hiruzen had no reason to lie to him, so he sat back dejectedly and ate his rice ball in silence.

Not to mention fighting on four fronts, with Konoha's current strength, it is possible to unify the world.

That was an unrealistic idea when he was young.

But this is possible for Konoha, led by the inherently evil Uchiha brat.

Absurd yet true.

…………

When Tsunade accepted the mission to bring back Jiraiya, Haneda ordered Kakashi to return to the village.

Haneda was dismissive of Kumogakure and he didn't deal with it. He had been busy with the Daimyo Prefecture and practicing Dust Release recently.

Recently, Haneda has no intention of immediately dealing with Kumogakure.

In addition to writing books and taking care of Naruto, he also wanted to stay in Kumogakure for a while to completely deal with the daimyo.

The Hokage's transfer order started in the morning, and at dusk Kakashi used Flying Thunder God to return to the village.

He knew that Haneda was unlikely to stay in the office, so he teleported to the third training ground.

At this point in time, Haneda is either training here or at the Uchiha family training ground.

In the past, Haneda often went to the Hatake family training ground.

But after his father left, Haneda almost never went there to train.

At the third training ground, Kakashi indeed found Haneda.

He looked in the direction of Haneda curiously. He originally thought that Haneda was going to develop Dust Release, but he didn't expect that he was writing a book.

"Hey~ How do you, a crazy cultivator, have time to write a book? It's unlike you to not even do your homework."

"Don't mess with my inspiration, Kakashi!"

Kakashi hesitated for half a second, smiled helplessly, and stood aside waiting.

When Haneda put down the pen and closed the book, Kakashi also noticed the four big words on the cover - My Struggle.

Kakashi asked with a smile:

"Oh, you're planning to write an autobiography? Have you forgotten all those things?"

Haneda said: "How could I forget? I will be reminded of this every time I open my Sharingan."

"Asuma's textbook is finished. You should know what it is, right?"

"I read it, but wasn't satisfied with it. I didn't want to trouble Asuma to rewrite it, so I decided to write it myself."

"The title of the book is My Struggle. What do you think of this name? Doesn't it sound passionate?"

Kakashi thought the title sounded good.

But an autobiography involves not only Haneda's little secrets, but also the people close to him.

As one of Haneda's best friends and partners, Kakashi doesn't want his hobbies to be exposed.

He warned:

"I just hope you don't portray me too ugly, and don't write those things... You know what I mean."

Haneda joked:

"Isn't it just that when you were a kid, you were curious about what Uncle Sakumo was talking about, so you bought a copy and read it secretly?"

"You showed it to me later, and I burned it."

Kakashi blushed slightly, still feeling a little resentful.

But he quickly recovered his composure and warned seriously: "This is just one of the things."

Haneda probably knew what Kakashi was warning about, so he agreed:

"Okay, okay, I won't write that much."
