Chapter 385: Is it necessary to show a loving father and a filial son?

Haneda talked about the second question:

"During your tenure, what was your attitude toward other ninja villages?"

When Shisui heard this question, he hesitated. Haneda always suppressed other ninja villages except his allies.

One thing he often did was to control the lifeline of other ninja villages, such as food, in order to make huge profits for Konoha.

But Shisui didn't want to do that. He felt that if he suppressed other ninja villages like this, trouble would arise sooner or later.

He prefers a peaceful and win-win attitude.

However, this is completely contrary to the attitude shown by Haneda, and it is very likely to cause Haneda's disgust and further deny his qualifications to be Hokage.

After hesitating for a moment, Shisui continued according to his inner thoughts:

"Be cooperative and friendly. Hokage, the relationship between ninja villages is like a spring. The harder you press it, the harder it rebounds. Wars often break out this way."

"You have indeed used your personal ability to suppress other ninja villages over the years, making them dare not go against your wishes."

"But what happens after you leave? Their original resentment towards you will suddenly explode, and they will take the initiative to declare war on Konoha to seek the benefits they once lost and wanted."

"If we bring together some friendly ninja villages with a win-win attitude, everyone will take the initiative to maintain peace out of common interests, and peace will be born."

Shikaku nodded slightly towards Shisui in praise, he has always been a dove and not tough towards the outside world.

This is also the reason why he was deeply cultivated by the third generation.

However, Haneda was more radical, so he was forced to become radical too.

Shisui's statement is consistent with his ideal relations among countries.

Most importantly, Haneda discussed with him the relationship between the villages after the war.

At that time, win-win cooperation will definitely be the main focus, even if it means sacrificing some interests in exchange for overall unity.

Shikaku looked at Haneda and smiled, "I told you Shisui could do the job."

Haneda said: "It's okay, but it's too idealistic. However, the future era needs people who are full of idealism."

"Since neither you, Shikaku, nor Kakashi are willing to be the acting Hokage, Shisui will be the candidate for the time being."

"I'll send someone to ask Tsunade and the others for their opinions. If there's no problem, we'll settle this matter and prepare for the fourth war."

Having said that, Haneda paused, looked at Shisui, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up:

"Shisui, from today on you should start adapting to the job of Hokage. If you don't understand something, you can ask Shikaku."

"I'll leave first. I'll announce in a few days that I'm seriously ill and won't be seeing anyone."

After saying that, Haneda flew directly out of the office on Thunder God.

Shikaku glanced at the pile of official documents on the table, then looked at Shisui who was still wearing a mask beside him, hesitated for half a second, and said:

"Shisui, according to the previous procedures, I will be responsible for most of the work, and Hokage-sama will be responsible for signing and stamping."

"But you...please help with the Anbu work first."

"Kakashi is on leave for half a year, which means the position of Anbu captain is vacant. You will be in charge of Anbu work, starting with the position of Anbu captain."

"Yes, Shikaku-senpai."

Shisui was almost the designated acting Hokage, and there was a high possibility that he would be the future Sixth Hokage. It was inappropriate to call him Lord Shikaku anymore, so Shisui changed to a more honorific title.

Similarly, he had no problem with Shikaku's arrangement.

Before, Shisui was just a captain of the Anbu, so it was unrealistic for him to take up the post immediately.

It's fine to start as the captain of the Anbu, although Kakashi often dumps the work on him when he's lazy...

…………

After leaving the office, Haneda returned home.

He sat behind the desk by the window, and his eyes were easily attracted by the photos on the desk.

This photo can be considered a small family portrait, with myself, Naruto, Haku and Kimimaro in it.

Haneda looked at the photo and suddenly realized a problem.

Should he pretend to be sick in front of them?

If I don't pretend, will I not be able to act like the character?

This is a problem……

Haneda decided to imitate his predecessor. He took out a file from the bookshelf. This file recorded what happened before Hashirama died of illness.

Flipping through the records about Hashirama and Tsunade in the archives, Haneda read a few pages, all of which talked about Hashirama taking little Tsunade to gamble.

Hashirama lost more than he won, and was often scolded by Tobirama.

But little Tsunade was completely fine, and was even praised by Tobirama for her good gambling character and better skills than his older brother.

The double standards of Hashirama's family younger brother position and Tobirama's are evident.

As Haneda watched, he was attracted by the interesting stories of the Hashirama brothers and little Tsunade.

After reading it, he realized that there was no answer he wanted.

It was simply that Hashirama was enjoying family happiness. It seemed that Tsunade didn't know this. Only when Hashirama was about to die did she find out that her grandfather was seriously ill.

"So I can hide it? No, Naruto is already grown up. If the news that I have a terminal illness gets out, Naruto will definitely know."

"Are we going to stage a scene of loving father and filial son?"

"It's so troublesome..."

Haneda put down his pen in pain and rubbed his temple.

Compared to deceiving those ninja villages in the ninja world, deceiving one's own family is the most difficult.

What should I do?

Haneda thought for a long time and decided that he should confess to Naruto and the others. Since they are all half-ninjas, everyone except Naruto should have a sense of confidentiality, right?

But then again, even if Naruto can't keep the password, the big fox in his body can always remind him, right?

Haneda threw the pen in his hand, flew away like the Thunder God, and came to Konoha's No. 1 Ninja School.

It was only around ten o'clock in the morning and the students were still in class.

Fortunately, Naruto and the others that Haneda was looking for were taking outdoor training classes at this time.

Iruka teaches students on the training grounds, throwing kunai and shurikens.

Throwing kunai and shuriken is a basic ninja skill, which is equivalent to a long-range attack that does not consume chakra.

Can be used with detonating talismans, very effective.

In the original work, when Sasuke and Itachi were being friendly and respectful to each other, Sasuke's special shuriken throwing skills came in handy.

When Haneda arrived, Naruto was pestering Sasuke to teach him the Uchiha style shuriken throwing technique.

"Hey, your shuriken can even bend, that's so cool, how about you teach me?"

"I refuse." Sasuke carried Naruto on his back and raised his head, looking very arrogant.

"How about I let Kurama be your power bank for a day? Come on, and you can teach me!" Naruto said temptingly.

Ever since Haneda subdued Kurama on behalf of Naruto, Naruto has become a half-perfect Jinchūriki.

The reason why he is half of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is that Naruto’s control over chakra is too weak.

Even if the Nine-Tails was willing to give Naruto chakra, Naruto would not be able to use it.

But Naruto later discovered that he could actually give the Nine-Tails Chakra to others.

He immediately experimented on Sasuke.

At that time, Sasuke was practicing Chidori and was seriously lacking in chakra, so Naruto gave the Nine-Tails Chakra to Sasuke.

Sasuke tasted the sweetness, and then whenever Naruto needed Sasuke's help, he would use the Nine-Tails Chakra to lure him.
