Chapter 66: 1Raku Ramen Restaurant, Encounter with Class 3

After chatting and chatting all the way, they soon arrived at their destination - Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant.

This is Naruto's favorite place in the future, and it is also the safest place in the entire Konoha.

Back then, Ichiraku Ramen House remained intact despite being carried by Tendo Pain, which shows how high its level of safety is.

"Boss, three servings of miso ramen and five servings of soy sauce ramen, thank you."

Minato sat down and smiled at Haneda and the others behind him.

"Let's find a place to sit down and chat."

Sakumo sat down next to Minato, with Kakashi, Haneda, and Obito sitting on his right.

Not long after sitting down, Obito couldn't help but speak:

"I didn't expect you to actually kill a jonin from Kirigakure!"

"Asshole Haneda, it seems that you didn't teach me seriously when I asked you for advice several times!"

Before Haneda could speak, Asuma said:

"Brother Haneda has been training so hard, can you ask for advice whenever you want? It's great that I can teach you."

"Who are you? Haneda is my childhood friend, and we are also from the Uchiha clan. If I want him to teach me, let him teach me!"

Asuma chuckled and said:

"Listen up, Obito!"

"I, Asuma Sarutobi, and Brother Haneda have been classmates for five years. We are both comrades in Team 9, brothers!"

"Even I can only ask for advice from Brother Haneda occasionally. Aren't you a waste of Brother Haneda's precious time?"

Upon hearing this, Obito could no longer hold back and stood up and said:

"Haneda, how about we go train after dinner, with Kakashi!"

After looking at Asuma and then at Obito, Haneda nodded helplessly and agreed. He had originally planned to go back and rest in the afternoon.

"Of course, Obito. But we can only train until dark. I have something to do tonight."

Hearing this, Obito's mouth felt as sweet as if it was smeared with honey, while Asuma felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

Suddenly, a hearty voice came from behind.

"Kakashi, let's have a youth duel!"

Kai, wearing a green tights, walked over. He noticed Haneda next to Kakashi and suddenly became excited.

"Haneda and Runtu are here too!"

"How was the mission out of the village this time?"

The latter sentence was obviously asking himself, and Haneda responded with a smile:

"It's OK. Although it turned into A-level later, it's not a big problem."

While the two were chatting, three more people came over.

Walking in front was a long-haired man with pale skin and golden snake eyes. It was Orochimaru.

Following closely behind were a girl named Mitarashi Anko eating meatballs and a boy named Shiranui Genma holding a senbon in his mouth.

"A-rank missions, the students under Sakumo-senpai's guidance are pretty good, and the students I lead just completed a B-rank mission."

Orochimaru said this with a smile, but everyone felt it was a bit eerie when they heard it.

"Teacher Orochimaru! I was planning on having a youth duel with Kakashi?"

"Really? That sounds exciting, but you still have to keep going, Kai."

Orochimaru said casually, his attention fixed on Sakumo and Minato.

At this time, Sakumo smiled and said:

"It's not my credit. The mission has always been done by Haneda and his team."

"Uchiha Haneda? The three-magatama Sharingan is pretty good..."

Orochimaru looked into Haneda's eyes, licked his lips, and after saying this, he stretched out a snake and forcibly tied Kai away.

"Let's go, Kai, this ramen shop doesn't look like it has any seats left."

"No, Orochimaru-sensei, I still want to have a youthful duel with Kakashi!"

"You can't beat him."

"Teacher Orochimaru! Youth never stops. You must constantly challenge geniuses who work harder than you!!"

"You can't beat him."

"Teacher Orochimaru..."

"Quiet."

A snake sealed Gai's mouth, and as Gai muttered, Orochimaru's back gradually walked away.

Haneda's nervous heart also calmed down immediately.

When Snake looked into his own eyes, he wondered if his Sharingan was being targeted...

"What? Even that watermelon-head has completed a B-rank mission, so he's just one step away from Haneda's A-rank."

Obito couldn't help but complain as he thought about the D-rank missions his Team 7 had been doing for half a month.

He looked towards Minato and said eagerly:

"Minato-sensei, isn't it time to switch to a more difficult task?"

"Look, Kai's Team 3 has already completed a B-rank mission, and Haneda's Team 9 has completed an A-rank mission. If this continues, our Team 7 will be completely outclassed."

Hearing Obito's complaints and requests, Minato smiled and said:

"We'll talk about it some other time, Obito. Now you haven't even learned how to tread water yet. You still need to work hard to improve yourself."

"No, Minato-sensei. You don't want to be outdone by Uncle Sakumo and Sensei Orochimaru, do you?"

Obito used the provocation method.

"Yes, Mr. Minato, if we continue like this, we will fall completely behind Team 9." Kakashi interrupted.

The instructor of Class 9 is his father, and among the members, Haneda is his best friend and brother.

He didn't want to be left too far behind by Haneda.

Moreover, his current strength is not much worse than Haneda, and he is a bit tired of doing D-level tasks.

Seeing both students thinking this, Minato scratched his hair.

He said sorry to Kushina in his heart and reluctantly agreed:

"Okay, for the next mission, I'll pick a senior one."

"Oh yeah! I can finally leave the village to perform advanced missions!"

Obito waved his arms excitedly, and Kakashi's eyes were also shining.

But Haneda wasn't happy for them.

Taking on higher-level missions means greater danger and exposure to deeper darkness.

…………

After training with Obito and Kakashi for an entire afternoon, Haneda returned to the Uchiha clan's territory.

At this time, the sun was approaching afternoon and the sky was full of red clouds.

Haneda pushed open the door of the patriarch's residence with familiarity and walked inside.

"Uncle clan leader, Brother Fugaku, I'm back."

"It's Haneda, come in first."

The clan leader's voice came from inside the house. When Haneda took off his shoes and walked into the house, two cups of tea were already placed on the wooden table.

"I heard that you found some business for Uchiha in the Land of Waves and collected some protection fees?" asked the clan leader.

Haneda did not answer immediately, but asked first:

"Uncle clan leader, where's Brother Fugaku? Is he training?"

"He's in training. Judging from the weather, he'll probably be back soon."

The clan leader glanced out the window, then turned his attention back to Haneda.

"You brought 70 million taels of silver to the tribe this time, as well as a lot of gems and gold. That's great."

"good."

Haneda didn't care about the money. He asked the rebels of Wave Country to pay tribute to them in order to find them a backer and to replace Sakata's trade with Fire Country.

So as to avoid trouble from Daming Prefecture.

Of course, he also wanted to repay Uchiha for his care over the years.
