Chapter 287 Hehehe or not?
Payne remained expressionless, and asked as if it was a business matter:
"Research new weapons to fight other countries?"
Orochimaru smiled and said:
"Haneda is not that boring. He himself is a weapon that can destroy a country."
"He asked me to research high-yield grains for the first five-year plan, and it has yielded great results."
Payne knew what Haneda's first five-year plan was.
End hunger in the Fire Nation.
Nagato, who was controlling Pain deep in the base, smiled slightly.
Haneda never forgot his promise of milk and bread.
This reminded him of the time when he, Yahiko, and Konan stole food when he was a child.
If someone had...
Nagato shook his head, what really caused him pain was the war and the despair of his best friend Yahiko dying on his own kunai.
He continued to control Tendo Pain, but did not ask Orochimaru what he had studied specifically. Instead, he ordered:
"You can continue to stay with Uchiha Haneda and find out the news about Konoha. As for the tasks of Akatsuki, they will be temporarily handed over to Sasori."
Scorpion showed a look of joy. When carrying out missions with Orochimaru, there was a risk of being sold out at any time.
If you act alone, you will be safer.
The leader obviously considered his own safety and deliberately separated him and Orochimaru.
The two words "temporarily" at the end indicate that the leader intends to change his partner!
Scorpion glanced at Orochimaru who seemed to be in deep thought. He asked Pein:
"I'm on a mission, Chief."
Tendo Pain nodded slightly, and Orochimaru also said goodbye.
Pain's attitude made Orochimaru believe that Pain and Haneda-kun had a special connection.
Pain deliberately handed himself over to Haneda in the name of obtaining information about Konoha.
But the two kept a considerable distance.
Orochimaru planned to resign from Haneda in the name of Akatsuki every once in a while so that he could study other things more conveniently.
Compared to those boring high-yield foods, he prefers the mysteries of chakra and natural energy.
…………
In the secret base where Nagato was, a whirlpool quietly formed and a man wearing a yellow tiger-skin mask appeared.
The person who came was Obito.
"What are you doing here?" Konan stood in front of Nagato and looked at Obito warily.
Obito only glanced at Konan, then looked at Nagato who was connected to the Outer Path Demon Statue:
"Orochimaru is back, where did he go?"
"You should rein those people in. They are too lax and have no discipline at all."
Obito's tone was reprimanding, and he clearly showed his dissatisfaction with Nagato, the official leader of the Akatsuki organization.
"Nagato has already found Orochimaru!" Konan replied on behalf of Nagato.
"Oh? What did you say?"
Obito spread out his hands, his movements were full of sarcasm.
"Missing for a month is enough to be treated as a traitor according to the ninja village's system."
At this time, Nagato said: "He is a spy I placed in Konoha to gather information about the Nine-Tails."
"Currently, he is a researcher directly under the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Haneda, and is helping Haneda."
Obito moved his mask, and a space-time vortex appeared behind him.
"Next time, remember to report this to me. We are the same kind of people."
"Also, remind Orochimaru to be respectful in his work. Uchiha Haneda is not someone who can be easily perfunctory."
After saying that, Obito left.
Konan said worriedly, "Nagato, you didn't let Orochimaru get information about the Nine-Tails."
Nagato said, "The information we are looking for on Konoha includes the Nine-Tails."
"Xiao Nan, how are the 300 million detonating tags you prepared?"
…………
On the other side, Konoha.
Haneda and Shikaku were standing on an experimental field.
When the seeds were evenly spread on the experimental field by the wind, Haneda clapped his hands, and the seeds that fell to the ground took root and sprouted instantly.
With the growth promoted by the Wood Release Chakra, in almost the blink of an eye, large areas of golden rice appeared, swaying in the wind.
Haneda used wind jutsu again, and the air condensed into a sickle, cutting off large areas of rice.
The sickle turned into a small tornado, sucking up the rice and finally transporting it to the large bags around it.
Shikaku stood by and watched, with the corners of his mouth curled up and a very bright smile:
"Well done, Hokage-sama! In less than a week, we'll have enough seeds to ship across the country!"
Shikaku said, and did not forget to urge Haneda:
"You have to work hard. The whole country will be counting on you next spring!"
"You make it sound so simple."
Haneda held his chin and breathed heavily.
Ever since Orochimaru left, Shikaku would occasionally spur himself on to use Wood Release to obtain enough seeds to satisfy the entire country.
In the past, he was the one who urged Lu Jiu on official business.
Now the situation is reversed!
Seeing how tired I am, yet he doesn’t come to help, and just stands there, laughing!
"Shikaku, the Nara clan is born evil. Sooner or later, I will bring your son into my office!"
Haneda thought secretly.
At this time, Kakashi came over with a popsicle.
The popsicles are red and blue in pairs, stuck together.
Kakashi took one away and handed it to Haneda:
"Okay, don't be so stubborn. Take a rest first. We can take our time. It's still early until next spring."
"Give."
Haneda took the popsicle and took a bite. The cool feeling exploded on his taste buds, eliminating much of his fatigue.
The two sat in front of the experimental field, holding popsicles and eating them bite by bite.
Shikaku glanced at Haneda, then at Kakashi, and inexplicably felt like a light bulb...
"Ahem...Kakashi, where's mine? Where's mine? You didn't just bring one copy, did you?"
Kakashi glanced at Shikaku and said casually:
"Hey, I forgot. I thought you were writing furiously in your office."
"I didn't expect you to abandon your complicated official duties and come to care about Hokage-sama. Maybe next time."
Not only did Shikaku get nothing, he was also ridiculed by Kakashi.
The smile on his face disappeared and he began to miss Ding Zuo.
If the fat guy Ding Zuo came, he would definitely bring himself snacks.
Haneda saw that Shikaku had stopped giggling and started laughing.
He did not forget to finish off the opponent:
"Shikaku, the seeds will be ready in a week."
"You have to work hard. The whole country will be counting on you next spring!"
Hearing the familiar words, Shikaku revealed a hint of bitterness.
But he felt inexplicably relieved when he thought that Haneda would have to work for a few more days.
In any case, only the naturally evil Hokage-sama can cultivate sufficient seeds!
He still has some time to supervise Haneda's work!
Suddenly, two figures flashed by and instantly appeared beside Haneda.
Those were Itachi and Shisui who came to report to Haneda and Kakashi before the end of the holiday.
"Hokage-sama." Itachi and Shisui saluted respectfully.
Haneda glanced at Shikaku who was laughing again and said with a smile:
"Itachi, Shisui, you two came at the perfect time."
“See the seeds ahead, and that field?”
"I have an important task for you. Sprinkle the seeds on the ground and use Wood Release to ripen them."
"This is a mission, but also a training session. It's a good opportunity for you to hone your mastery of Wood Release."
Itachi and Shisui looked at each other and thought to themselves how thoughtful Uncle Haneda (Sir) was.
Knowing that they had just awakened Wood Release and were not yet able to master its power, he arranged a training plan for them.
Shikaku looked at Haneda with gritted teeth.
I promised him that I would work hard for at least a week, but you outsourced it in less than a day?
Also, when did Itachi and Shisui learn Wood Release? How come he didn't know about it at all!
After leaving the work to Itachi and Shisui, Haneda suddenly felt relaxed and comfortable.
He took Kakashi's hand and said softly:
"Come on, Kakashi, let's go to the ninja school and see how Naruto and the others are doing."
"Ah."
Shikaku looked at the backs of Haneda and Kakashi as they left, and felt as ridiculous as Joker.
