Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

Only after the other party calmed down did Haneda speak:

"I'll go back in a while."

"How's the village doing lately? What's the situation with the Uchiha clan?"

Uchiha Ninja Way:

"Lord Haneda, you don't know, ever since the Konoha higher-ups forced you to leave, our Uchiha clan has been targeted by them everywhere in the village."

At this point, the Uchiha ninja gritted his teeth:

"Especially that inherently evil old devil Danzo!"

"He also suggested that you, Lord Haneda, be designated as an S-rank rogue ninja."

"If it weren't for Kakashi, Guy, Asuma, and the others arguing their case, the Third Hokage might have agreed."

"Is that so?" Although Haneda had a vague idea of ​​what would happen after he left, he didn't expect that old devil Danzo would actually dare to target him openly.

It seems that the lesson learned last time was not profound enough.

The Uchiha ninja then launched into a long explanation of how much the Uchiha clan was ostracized in the village.

Not only were the police forces relocated to the edge of Konoha, but Haneda's house was also almost demolished.

Fortunately, a masked man in black attacked Root, otherwise the entire Uchiha clan would have had to relocate to the edge of Konoha.

With great difficulty, the Uchiha clan survived the previous backlash, but then Shisui and his group got involved with the Third Hokage!

This indirectly led to the near loss of Fugaku's position as clan leader!

The Uchiha ninja concluded indignantly:

"Lord Haneda, you must lead the Uchiha to greatness once again when you return this time!"

Haneda pondered for a moment.

Going back now is not a good time; he's currently busy with the Dragon Vein Project and can't spare the time.

Moreover, it's still early; Shisui may not have activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, and Danzo may not dare to attack Shisui.

Haneda said in a deep voice:

"I will go back in a few months and tell Brother Fugaku that I will run for the Fifth Hokage."

"I have other things to do before that."

"Remember, my candidacy for the Fifth Hokage must be kept secret."

Haneda emphasized the importance of maintaining secrecy.

Although the leak of information is not a big problem, it would be best to give Danzo a surprise.

"You want to run for the Fifth Hokage?!"

The Uchiha ninja said in shock.

"Why not?"

"Konoha was originally founded by the Uchiha and Senju."

"We are simply taking back what is rightfully ours."

Haneda said calmly.

He had the idea of ​​becoming Hokage two and a half years ago, and running for the position was just putting it into practice.

The Uchiha ninja in front of me just now was complaining about how the Konoha leadership was targeting the Uchiha, and he barely mentioned the current state of Konoha.

Haneda then asked about Konoha:

"Is Konoha currently at war with Iwagakure?"

"Reporting to Lord Haneda, that Ōnoki fellow, seeing that the Fourth Hokage had left and you had departed Konoha, wanted to rob the village."

The Uchiha ninja paused here, then smiled.

"The commander-in-chief of this war against Iwagakure is your friend, Lord Kakashi."

"He inherited the Flying Thunder God Technique from the Fourth Hokage and made a name for himself on the battlefield with your Chidori."

"The ninjas of Iwagakure also call him the White Flash."

Haneda laughed, genuinely happy that Kakashi had learned the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Haneda smiled and said:

"It seems he hasn't wasted these past two years."

"He even learned Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique."

Suddenly, Haneda wanted to change his previous plan and asked again:

"Is that old devil Onoki also on the battlefield?"

The Uchiha ninja nodded and said:

"Yes. He was the commander-in-chief of the war, and he stayed there the whole time."

"Lord Haneda, as you know, there is no one else in Iwagakure besides Onoki."

Upon hearing this, Haneda smiled.

There was another genius in Iwagakure, but he later joined the Akatsuki organization.

Haneda closed his eyes and thought of the three-year promise at the Valley of the End.

"Let's give Kakashi a big gift."

"To avenge Uncle Sakumo!"

A strong killing intent flashed in Haneda's eyes.

The entire police station felt somewhat chilly inside, enveloped in a terrifying atmosphere of killing intent.

Haneda took a deep breath, calmed himself, and turned to the trembling Shiro and Kimimaro, saying:

"Let's go, first cross the sea to the Bear Country, then kill some people."

Haku and Kimimaro exchanged a glance, said nothing, and followed Haneda.

They didn't know why Mr. Haneda, who was always gentle, had suddenly become so murderous.

They vaguely suspected that Mr. Haneda and Onoki had a life-or-death feud.

…………

The Land of Bears borders the Land of Fire to its southeast, is located by the sea, and is a peninsula country.

Like some small countries, the Land of Bears also has its own ninja village—Star Ninja.

It took Haneda and his group two and a half days to reach the Land of Bears by boat.

After traveling for half a day, we arrived at a place one kilometer away from Xingren Village.

Similar to Kirigakure being surrounded by dense fog, Hoshigakure also has a natural barrier outside of it—Poison Gas Valley.

To enter the Star Ninja Village, one must wear a gas mask.

But Haneda's arrival was different; Zabuza arrived early at the entrance of the Poison Gas Valley to greet him.

"Mr. Haneda!"

Zabuza walked up to Haneda and said respectfully.

"Well done."

Haneda, seeing the scene of the Hoshigakure ninjas welcoming him, laughed again.

"Did you get the goods?"

"It's right here." Zabuza handed the sealed star to Haneda and began to tell his story.

“Mr. Haneda, I originally wanted to steal the star, but I didn’t expect there to be something strange about it.”

"As soon as I get close to it, my chakra becomes agitated."

"There was no other way. I had to take the money you gave me, hire a rogue ninja from Takigakure, and work with Pakura to kill an arrogant guy and take control of Hoshigakure."

"Fortunately, you gave me enough funds before you left and sent Ye Cang over. It would have been difficult for me to get it easily on my own."

Haneda took the thing Zabuza handed him, played with it for a while, and asked:

"Isn't that Takigakure rogue ninja a bit strange? When he attacks, dense black lines emerge from his body?"

"You know him."

Haneda confirmed that the person was Kakuzu, paused for a moment, and then asked:

"Is Yekura currently in the Land of Wind, searching for the whereabouts of the Dragon Vein?"

“Yes. But I feel she has her own private matters to attend to,” Zabuza said.

Haneda guessed it might be because of her apprentice, Maki, and said calmly, "As long as it doesn't affect official business, it's fine."

After saying that, Haneda activated his Sharingan and began to examine the Star Ninja Village inside the poisonous gas.

His previous plan was simply to acquire the star, and he had no intention of taking over the Star Ninja Village.
