Chapter 67: Clan Conversation

"According to the estimates of the Uchiha clan members we sent, the Wave Country can bring us about 100 million ryo per year."

"It's more than enough to pay the tribesmen's salaries in the police force."

"Haneda, you did a good thing for the Uchiha!"

The patriarch said happily.

"Hmm." Haneda picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

To be honest, he didn't want to talk about the Wave Country.

There he saw a lot of other sides of ninja.

Seeing that Haneda was not very interested in this matter, the clan leader immediately stopped the topic.

He asked about Haneda's mission:

"The enemies we encounter in this mission are not strong, right? With your strength, it should be easy to deal with them."

"Fortunately, there is only one Kirigakure team led by a senior ninja, so there is no danger." Haneda said calmly.

"Jounin?"

The patriarch's eyes flashed with surprise.

Although he knew that Haneda was very talented and his strength had reached the level of a Jonin long ago.

But judging from Haneda's tone, it would be an easy task for him to deal with a jonin.

You have to know that that is the Village of Blood Mist, and the Jonin who fought his way out of the pile of dead bodies is not the kind of self-proclaimed one from the smaller ninja villages!

However, thinking that Haneda was able to defeat the Root Jounin five years ago, his expression immediately returned to normal.

At this time, Haneda said again: "That jonin from Kirigakure was too careless. I just beckoned and he looked over."

"Hehe... isn't it stupid to meet an Uchiha's eyes?"

Haneda thought about that battle and found it somewhat boring.

With the strength of the Kirigakure jonin, this shouldn't be the case.

Unfortunately, the Mist Hidden Technique obscured his vision, preventing him from discovering that his eyes were the Three-magatama Sharingan.

As a result, as soon as he got close, he was controlled.

The clan leader laughed and said, "No wonder, your age is very deceptive. Most ninjas will be controlled by your Sharingan immediately if they don't know your intelligence."

Da da da……

While they were chatting, footsteps were heard outside the house and Fugaku walked in.

He noticed that his father was chatting with Haneda, and greeted him with a smile:

"You're back, Haneda."

"I returned to the village this afternoon, Brother Fugaku. I went to train with my friends and didn't have time to see you." Haneda said.

"Haha, it's okay. You just started a team, so it's good to develop team chemistry."

"By the way, you weren't injured on this mission, were you?"

Fugaku walked to Haneda's side and asked with concern.

"No, Brother Fugaku. The enemy I encountered was too careless, and I haven't yet used my full strength."

Compared to the clan leader, Haneda prefers to chat with Fugaku.

Although Fugaku is not as smart as the clan leader and has more power, he is a relatively simple person.

The first thing they cared about was whether he was injured, not the things about the Wave Country like the patriarch asked.

Seeing this, the patriarch left quietly, leaving his position to his son and Haneda.

"Fugaku, Haneda. You guys chat first, I'll go out and bring you food."

"Haneda, you probably didn't have dinner, is there anything you want to eat?"

Haneda replied, "Just like Brother Fugaku, I'm not a picky eater."

After the clan leader left, Haneda and Fugaku looked much more relaxed.

"The clan leader still has to go out to fetch food at such an old age. Brother Fugaku, when will you completely win over Sister Mikoto?"

Haneda teased.

"Ahem... We've already discussed it. We plan to get engaged first..."

When talking about marriage, Fugaku blushed slightly and waved his hand.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I will definitely invite you to the wedding day. Did your mission go smoothly this time?"

"Luckily, we met some people from Kirigakure. There was about one jonin and three chuunin."

"You solved the problem of Jonin?"

"Yes. Those from the Kizuna family are destined to lose when they face my Sharingan." Haneda nodded.

"Of course, the Kizuna family is one of the best in the Hidden Mist Village. The water transformation technique of this family is considered powerful in the ninja world."

"It is immune to most physical attacks, but it is just restrained by your lightning escape."

Fugaku exclaimed.

He was the one who taught Haneda illusion techniques personally, so Fugaku knew very well what level Haneda was at.

But he didn't expect that Haneda could defeat a senior ninja from the Kizuna family with just illusion.

Haneda's face turned slightly red after being praised:

"Not bad. Even if I don't use illusion, I can easily solve it with lightning escape."

"I've been having some problems lately, and I have a question for Brother Fugaku."

"That is, what is a ninja to you?"

"Ninja?" Fugaku wasn't quite sure why Haneda asked this.

But when he saw Haneda's expression change from embarrassed to serious, his expression also became much more serious.

He held his chin, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Ninja... I'm not really sure what that means."

"In my opinion, being a ninja is a profession. My father taught me to become an excellent ninja when I was very young."

“The teachers and classmates at school are the same, and they are also moving forward with this goal, and I am moving forward with it.”

"After I became a real ninja, I joined the police force and dealt with village affairs every day. To me, this kind of life is no different from work."

"There is one good thing about ninjas, and that is that they have enough power to protect the ones they love."

As he spoke, Fugaku patted Haneda's shoulder and said with a smile:

"This question must be very important to you?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Fugaku, I'm a mediocre person except for my talent and strength, and I don't know the answer to your question."

“Maybe it’s hidden in my heart, but I can’t express it.”

Haneda smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother Fugaku, I'm just asking for more people's opinions."

“Actually, I already have the answer in my mind, but I just want to explore it more deeply and broadly.”

After chatting for a while, the patriarch came back with a lunch box.

Haneda smiled and joked:

"Look, I have to trouble the clan leader to bring me food every day. Brother Fugaku, you have to work hard."

"Try my best. Try my best." Fugaku chuckled.

To be honest, he also wanted to marry Mikoto as soon as possible and live together.

Hokage Building.

The Sandaime looked at the report handed over by Sakumo and fell into a long silence.

He took a puff of his pipe and slowly blew out smoke rings.

"The new leaves are already thriving."

"Five years ago, Haneda was able to work with Kakashi to kill a Root jonin."

"Five years later, he was able to fight against the Jonin of the Hidden Mist Village alone, and he was from the Kizuna clan. He could even control him with a single illusion."

"With such talent and strength, he must be completely bound."

Portraits flashed through the Sandaime's mind, and he arranged them according to their closeness and importance.

"Asuma, Kakashi, Obito, Kai, Rin, and Kurenai."

"Minato, Orochimaru."

Thinking of Orochimaru, the Sandaime got a headache.

Apart from teaching other students, this student of his has rarely been seen recently. He is only slightly better than Tsunade and Jiraiya.

The Sandaime had no choice but to set his target on Minato.

It just so happens that Obito, Kakashi, and Haneda have a pretty good relationship.

"Let Team 7 and Team 9 do a mission together. It would be even better if Minato can bring Haneda closer."
