Looking at the lively Yahiko, Haneda found it hard to believe that this person was the future leader of the Akatsuki organization.
However, thinking about Obito, who resembled him by six points, and how he later turned to the dark side and became the leader behind Akatsuki, Haneda began to understand.
People grow up, and Yahiko is only thirteen or fourteen years old right now.
He doesn't seem to have created the Akatsuki organization yet...
However, judging from the previous visitors, Yahiko now has followers.
As more and more people gather, he will be pushed along and forced to grow up.
Perhaps it was because Haneda helped Yahiko heal his injuries, or perhaps it was because Haneda knew Jiraiya, but the four of them gradually became acquainted.
They sat around a table and ate their meal.
The meal was cooked by Yahiko, and it tasted pretty good.
The fish was grilled perfectly, tender and delicious, and the spices made it incredibly flavorful.
"Are we still going to Kawara Ishi Village tomorrow?" Konan Asahiko asked.
“Of course, that area is close to Sunagakure, and there are many war orphans there. We have to help them,” Yahiko said matter-of-factly.
“But we’re almost out of money…” Nagato whispered a reminder.
"Whatever, let's just do it. Money comes eventually, so let's just do more missions," Yahiko said.
Haneda, who had been eavesdropping, suddenly interjected:
"Can I come with you? Yahiko, Konan, you saved me before, and I want to repay you."
"You should stay here and recover, Haneda," Yahiko said.
"Yes, you've just recovered, you should rest a bit more," Xiao Nan advised.
They never ask for anything in return when they do good deeds.
They naturally refused to help patients like Haneda who offered their assistance.
"I know medical ninjutsu, so I can help sick children," Haneda added.
This time, he gave Yahiko and Konan a reason that they couldn't refuse.
Children who are homeless and displaced by war face more than just hunger; they also face disease.
Especially the Land of Rain, a country that rains all year round.
The number of people who died from disease far exceeded the number who died from starvation.
Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan naturally knew this.
“Okay, fine, but you’d better not push yourself, Haneda,” Yahiko said.
"I will," Haneda said with a smile.
After a day of rest, his physical functions have almost fully recovered.
This is a passive skill granted to him by the immortal body, namely a powerful self-healing ability.
After the meal, Haneda used the excuse of needing to urinate to leave.
He entered the bathroom and quickly formed a hand seal. As soon as the seal was pressed down, an orange cat was summoned.
"Xiaoju, did you deliver the letter?" Haneda asked anxiously, noticing that Xiaoju wasn't holding a piece of paper in her mouth.
"Hmm. Don't worry, Haneda, don't you trust me?" Kiku said confidently, tilting her head back.
"What did the clan chief say?"
"He said that Sakumo was fine and was recuperating at a camp on the border of the Land of Rain. He just didn't expect you to disappear in the Land of Rain."
Upon hearing that Uncle Sakumo was alright, a look of joy immediately appeared on Haneda's face.
He knew that with Uncle Sakumo's strength, he would definitely be able to break through!
"Ahem... Kiku, what did you say in the second half of your sentence? I didn't hear you clearly just now," Haneda asked, slightly embarrassed.
He was so happy and excited that he subconsciously ignored the information that followed.
"The clan leader said he didn't expect you to disappear in the Land of Rain," Xiaoju repeated.
"That's it..."
Haneda rested his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought.
"It seems the Third Hokage intends to keep this information from the Uchiha..."
"Is it because they're afraid the Uchiha will take the opportunity to join forces with Uncle Sakumo and Uncle Dai to rebel?"
Haneda took out a pen and paper, wrote another letter, folded it, and handed it to Kiku so that it could hold it in its mouth.
"Are they sending me away again? Haneda is so heartless and cold, treating me like a tool," Xiaoju complained.
"Ahem... I'll send you another can of dried fish later." Yu Tian said awkwardly, hearing the resentful tone in the voice.
Come to think of it, when he signed the contract with the ninja cat, he really did have the idea of using the summoning beast as a tool.
After all, ninja cats are very intelligent; they can talk and remember directions, making them really convenient for transmitting information.
"Yay! Don't lie to me, Haneda! Remember to give me two cans of dried fish when we get back to the village!"
Xiaoju thought of the dried fish, swallowed hard, and completely forgot about the unpleasantness from before.
…………
In Konoha, Kiku reappeared at the Uchiha clan's territory.
It flew through the eaves and came to the chieftain's house, then jumped in through the window.
"A letter from Haneda, the clan leader of the Uchiha clan."
Xiaoju placed the letter on the table and tapped it to indicate that the letter was there.
Soon, the clan chief came over.
He opened a jar of dried fish and placed it aside.
"This is the agreed-upon compensation."
The clan chief picked up the letter and spoke softly.
Meanwhile, Xiaoju started showing off her dried fish.
After a while, the clan chief finished reading the letter written by Haneda.
He held the letter in his hand and looked up out the window.
"Tell the Third Hokage that he's fine and there's no need to send anyone to look for him..."
"What is Haneda's purpose in doing this?"
The clan chief silently put down the letter and began to think.
"Are they afraid that Konoha's rescue operation would be too large, causing Sunagakure to misunderstand and provoke a war?"
"I never imagined that you, Haneda, were such a peace-loving person..."
…………
Chapter 094 Village Journey
The next day, early morning.
Haneda got up early and set off with Yahiko and the other two.
Their destination was Kawara-ishi Village, more than ten kilometers away from where Yahiko and his group lived.
Accompanying him were Yahiko's loyal follower, Hatosuke, and several other weaker ninjas.
On the way, Haneda asked curiously:
"Yahiko, what are you planning to do over there? Are you going to help build bridges and roads, or build houses for the homeless?"
"Huh?" Yahiko was a little confused by Haneda's baffling statement.
He could understand building houses, but what about building bridges and roads?
However, Yahiko didn't pay much attention to these things and explained:
"It involves buying food and giving it to begging women and children, and occasionally helping to pick some herbs to make soup for treating illnesses."
"That's it..."
Haneda seemed to be deep in thought. Yahiko's current mindset was still only focused on helping others to the best of his ability.
They earn money by completing tasks, and then exchange that money for food and other necessities to give to women and children.
In addition, it is to prevent the outbreak of war and create peace.
He figured these things out by looking at many details and combining them with the original text.
Seeing that Haneda didn't seem to agree with Yahiko's ideas, Kyusuke, somewhat annoyed, asked:
"Hey kid, who are you? What do you think of Yahiko? Show some respect!"
"Haneda, a medical ninja," Haneda said without changing his expression.
