Chapter 261: Preparing to End the War in Kumogakure

There is still a week left until Naruto and Sasuke start school.

Although Haneda has not yet developed the Dust Release, the other two chakra-fusion release techniques have been fully developed.

This means that Haneda has already mastered most of the bloodline limits.

A snake crawled to Haneda's feet, opened its mouth and spit out a scroll.

Haneda knew that it was Ye Cang and the others who brought the news.

He leaned over and picked up the scroll, unfolded it and took a quick look, then called the surrounding Anbu and said:

"Send Kakashi and Itachi to the office."

As soon as the Anbu ninja received the order, Haneda disappeared in an instant and came to the Hokage's office.

At this time, Lu Jiu was writing furiously and handling official business.

He sensed someone coming in and looked up at the person who came. It was the Hokage, who was rarely seen at this time of the year.

Shikaku probably guessed something and asked, "Are you preparing to lead the army in person, Hokage-sama?"

Haneda hummed and said, "Prepare to challenge Kumogakure in the name of the Hokage."

"Tell them to either surrender or bring their own hemp ropes for easy capture if they are defeated in battle."

"Before tonight, announce in the village that I will resolve this war within three days."

It was rare to see Haneda, who usually looked lazy in the office, being so domineering today. Shikaku was secretly amazed.

However, he thought that his boss had killed the Third Tsuchikage in front of an army of tens of thousands of ninjas, and he felt that it was normal.

Lord Hokage has the confidence, and Konoha’s current strength also has the confidence!

Lu Jiu said: "I will arrange it right away."

Haneda waved his hand, signaling him to wait a moment.

Not long after, Kakashi was teleported to the office by Flying Thunder God.

Kakashi immediately looked at Haneda and asked, "Is there something urgent?"

"I am preparing to personally lead the expedition to Kumogakure."

Kakashi was a little speechless and said: "Why don't you go by yourself? Why do you have to take me with you?"

"Naruto's entrance ceremony will be in a few days, and Naruto really wants you to go."

"We both have to have a past, right?"

Itachi followed up, "Uncle Haneda, I have already promised to be there on that day, and you..."

Itachi still clearly remembered that Haneda asked him to accompany Oudoudou to the entrance ceremony, but Haneda was going to go to war?

"Ahem... seven days is enough."

"I plan to end the war with Kumogakure within three days, which will leave two and a half days for Kumogakure to prepare the army, and half a day for me to dance alone."

"Also, I'm not asking you to go with me. I'm asking you to cooperate with Shikaku and prepare to resist the invasion of Sunagakure and Iwagakure."

Itachi's statement to Haneda that the war could be resolved in three days seemed very arrogant and unrealistic.

But he secretly glanced at Kakashi and Shikaku's reactions, and the two seniors actually thought it was natural.

Itachi hesitated for a moment, then reminded, "The strength of Kumogakure is second only to Konoha, and Kumogakure is stronger than Iwagakure."

"Hokage-sama, even if..."

Haneda interrupted, "You greatly underestimate the power of the Uchiha."

"One against seven, you follow me in the battle of Kumogakure and watch from the side."

Kakashi felt that Itachi was too young and underestimated people's fear of war.

When the Susanoo Buddha appears, even a ninja army of tens of thousands of people will be terrified and want to escape.

Haneda only needs to deal with the Fourth Raikage and his men. If he defeats them, the Hidden Cloud Village will be defeated.

"Itachi, Haneda is now the strongest in the ninja world. He is called the God of Ninja World by the people of Iwagakure. You don't have to worry."

After that, Kakashi asked about Sand Village and Iwagakure.

"After the war is won, Haneda, are you going to kill the Daimyo?"

Haneda looked at Kakashi in surprise, but thinking of the tacit understanding between him and Kakashi, he smiled and said:

"Let me test it. If they remain silent, I will replace the daimyo. If they unite, I will support a new one."

Before Haneda achieved the Six Paths, he had no intention of starting a war and unifying the world.

The Six Paths Sage would definitely pay attention to such a large-scale war, and might even treat me as a villain.

And Black Zetsu, the sixth brother, will definitely not sit idly by and watch him unify the country.

It is counting on Madara to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi and resurrect his mother Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

Haneda said to Shikaku:

"In addition to what I just said, Shikaku, you must cooperate with Kakashi to purchase and transport supplies to the border, and be ready to resist the invasion of Sand Village and Iwagakure at any time."

Shikaku said, "Will Kirigakure not care?"

Hearing Kirigakure, Haneda smiled mysteriously and said, "Someone will help take care of it."

…………

After dealing with the affairs of Kumogakure, Haneda took Itachi back home.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, Haneda heard Naruto's careless voice, calling Sasuke "idiot" and "super idiot".

Haneda and Itachi laughed at the same time, but when they realized there was someone next to them, their expressions instantly returned to normal.

"Sasuke is here too, one against seven. Say goodbye to him."

Itachi nodded and followed Haneda into the house.

Naruto and Sasuke heard the door open and quickly picked up the toys scattered around the house.

Seeing Haneda and Itachi coming over, they stood in front of the toys, put their little hands behind their backs, and kept poking their fingers.

Sasuke forced a smile and said, "Nisan, Uncle Haneda."

Naruto whistled a little tune and pretended nothing happened.

"What's up? Didn't you say you were going for a walk this morning? Why did you go to Uncle Haneda's house again?" Itachi asked.

Sasuke's face turned slightly red in embarrassment.

He had just broken up with Naruto last night, and in the morning he found an excuse to take a walk and accidentally passed by Uncle Haneda's house, and the result was...

"Nisan, I'm going to learn Taijutsu from Kimimaro-san, seriously!"

Itachi saw the toys on the ground that had not been picked up yet out of the corner of his eye, and smiled without saying anything.

Haneda remembered that Naruto ran to him last night looking aggrieved and asking for comfort, and when he saw Sasuke talking about taking a walk again, he wanted to laugh.

When I heard Sasuke say he wanted to learn Taijutsu from Kimimaro, I wanted to laugh even more.

After breakfast, Kimimaro either went to training or went to the hospital. He didn't go to the training ground, but stayed at home to play with Naruto's toys...

That's a lame excuse.

However, Haneda had something important to tell when he returned home this time. He said:

"Naruto, I have to go out today and I probably won't be back for three days. If you are hungry, you can go find Uncle Kakashi, or you can use the money I gave you to buy breakfast."

"Huh? Uncle Haneda, what are you going out for?"

Naruto didn't even bother to hide his toys. He ran to Haneda and pulled his Hokage robe.

"The duties of the Hokage." Haneda smiled and did not explain too much.

After that, Haneda added:

"By the way, remember to tell your brothers and sisters at home."

Sasuke heard Haneda preparing to leave and subconsciously looked at Itachi:

"Nisan, the entrance ceremony..."

"I'll be there, it won't be next time."

Itachi gently tapped Sasuke's forehead, and Sasuke thought Itachi was going to say "forgive me" again.

When he heard that Nissan was coming, he immediately laughed:

"Nisan, it's a deal."

"It's a word."
