"You got up very early, Xiaoyutian. Are you hungry?" Grandma said with a kind smile.

"Okay, thank you grandma."

Haneda sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat.

Whenever he stayed overnight at Obito's house, his grandmother would get up early to prepare breakfast for herself, and of course, for Obito as well.

Grandma would only warm it up when Obito was about to wake up.

Haneda had gotten used to all of this.

This is also why he likes to stay in Obito's household.

After having breakfast, Haneda went straight to the bookstore.

He was going to carefully select a good book that was truly suitable for Fugaku.

Upon entering the largest bookstore in Konoha, Haneda immediately encountered his former teacher, Takakura Bunta.

"Good morning, Morise," Haneda greeted.

“It’s Haneda.” Takakura Bunta recognized the voice as that of Haneda, his most prized and most troublesome student.

"Congratulations on becoming a Chunin, Haneda."

"Yesterday's battles with Kakashi and Rin were both very exciting,"

Suddenly, Takakura Bunta realized something and quickly closed the book in his hands and put it away.

But since the Uchiha clan was doing this, Haneda had already discovered what kind of book Sense was reading.

It's actually a fanfic about Liu Bei written by Jiraiya—Icha Icha Paradise!

I never expected that Sense, who is always so serious and kind, would read this kind of book!

However, considering that Sense didn't have a girlfriend yet, Haneda understood.

Bunta Takakura realized that the book in his hand had been discovered, and coughed awkwardly a few times, saying:

"Haneda, are you here to buy books? The scientific theories about lightning?"

“No.” Yu Tian shook his head. “Someone like an older brother to me is getting married, and I’m planning to buy a book as a wedding gift.”

"Do you have any recommendations, Sense? Something about strategy, tactics, or the art of language."

Takakura Bunta's first thought was that giving such a book as a congratulatory gift was a bit strange, so he said:

"Isn't this kind of book inappropriate as a wedding gift, Haneda? Flowers would be more suitable, or something with a symbolic meaning."

Haneda said, "I think so too, but I think he needs this even more. Um... maybe his father thinks so too."

Takakura Bunta thought for a moment and said, "How about we do something creative with the bookmarks?"

"For example, the character '寿' (shòu, meaning longevity) is a good choice. Giving the character '寿' at a wedding symbolizes wishing the newlyweds a long and happy life together."

"Shou?" Haneda pondered for a moment, realizing it didn't conflict with his gift of books.

The longevity character bookmark completes the gift with something missing—the original intention of congratulations.

"This is it, thank you, Sense!" Haneda said happily.

"Huh?" Before Takakura Bunta could react, Haneda had already run to the bookmark section of the bookstore and asked the owner.

Seeing this, Takakura Bunta simply smiled.

Kids are always impatient, or rather, they feel excited when their worries are resolved.

Chapter 123 Congratulatory Message and News of the Start of War

Two weeks later, the Uchiha clan's territory became lively.

The clan chief's son, Uchiha Fugaku, was getting married, and the clan members spontaneously decorated the house with lanterns and streamers.

The once quiet clan territory has become quite lively.

Many people attended the wedding. Apart from Fugaku's friends and comrades, all the ninja clans, big and small, from Konoha showed their respect.

It could be a gift or a visitor.

Even Minato came with Kushina.

Danzo, who was secretly watching the matter, was furious when he saw that the Uchiha had changed his usual attitude.

If it weren't for that inherently evil Uchiha brat who teamed up with Sakumo and Kabuto, the Uchiha clan wouldn't be where they are today!

Haneda arrived at Fugaku's house early in the morning.

He put down the gifts he was holding when he met Mr. and Mrs. Fugaku and the clan head.

"Today is your auspicious wedding day. I wish you and your beloved to love and forgive each other and share the joys and sorrows of the future."

"May love forever fill your sweet life together..."

Listening to Haneda solemnly read his congratulatory message, Fugaku felt an urge to laugh for some reason.

But it wouldn't be good to laugh out loud, so I had to hold it in.

Seeing this, Haneda wasn't blind; he immediately stopped reading and said to Fugaku:

Anyway, congratulations on your marriage.

Fugaku asked with a smile, "To be honest, how long did it take you to memorize this congratulatory message?"

“Copied using the Sharingan,” Haneda said.

“Alright…” Fugaku stopped smiling and turned his gaze to Haneda’s congratulatory gift.

This is a book, and the cover says, "The Art of Politics."

"The Art of Politics?" Fugaku picked up the book and read a passage from the title.

He flipped through the book again, glancing at it; the pages were full of words, very tedious.

Moreover, while we understand the meaning of individual words and phrases, we can't understand them when they're put together.

When the bookmark with the character for longevity on it was revealed, a smile immediately appeared on Fugaku's face.

He carefully put the book away on the bookshelf, then turned to Yuda and said:

"Thank you for the gift, Haneda. I really like it."

Upon hearing this, Haneda and the clan chief both laughed.

Haneda was naturally pleased because Fugaku was satisfied with the gift he had carefully chosen.

As for the clan chief, he saw the book cover and expressed great satisfaction.

His son really needs this!

Will Fugaku at least watch Haneda's Gift?

At least it's not like the books I gave myself, just sitting on the shelf collecting dust...

Mikoto asked curiously:

"Fugaku, are you very interested in politics?"

"I'm not interested, but I like anything that Haneda gives me," Fugaku said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Haneda's lips curled up slightly.

He pretended to gaze at the Hokage Rock, avoiding Mikoto's gaze.

Suddenly, the clan leader spoke:

"Haneda, I have a request."

"ask?"

Haneda turned to look at the clan leader, his mind filled with thoughts.

Until the clan leader spoke again:

"Could you attend my wedding and read a congratulatory speech for me? I don't really know much about this."

"A congratulatory message? No, clan chief, you should do it yourself. I'm really not suited for it."

Haneda waved his hand.

He's not Fugaku's father; it's better for the clan head to handle this kind of thing.

But then, the clan chief suddenly clutched his stomach and ran toward the toilet.

He turned around and hurriedly said:

"I'm leaving this to you, Haneda! Please!!"

Before Yuda could react, the clan chief had already dumped this burden on him.

He glanced at Fugaku, who was smiling.

He glanced at Mikoto again. Although Mikoto felt something was off, she didn't say anything.

It wasn't until a soft piece of music played at the wedding venue that Fugaku and Mikoto, the newlyweds, left the house.
