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

A ninja with enough power to destroy a country, yet completely obeys his orders.

Whether it's becoming Hokage or his ambition to lead Konoha to dominate the ninja world, he can achieve it all!

"You never expected this, did you, you born evil Uchiha brat? One day, your power will be taken over by this old man."

Danzo looked at the dark tunnel leading to Konoha and became excited.

"Hiruzen, I will make up for all the mistakes you have made."

"But it's time for me to hand over your Hokage position!"

"I am the most suitable person to be Hokage!"

Just as Danzo was fantasizing about becoming Hokage, another Root ninja came to report:

"Lord Danzo, all the men sent out to assassinate Uchiha Haneda are dead."

Upon hearing this news, Danzo's smile froze, and he asked with a grim expression:

"How did he die? Was he killed by that brat?"

Root Ninja Way:

"No one survived; it's impossible to say for sure."

"However, their deaths were similar to those when the masked men invaded Root last time."

Chapter 216 The Death of Onoki Reaches Back to the Uchiha

Unlike the Hokage Building and Root, Fugaku's home was bustling with activity.

Sasuke leaned against the window, watching his clansmen come and go, pouting angrily.

His father had promised to teach him how to refine chakra, but instead he got busy with other things.

"What's wrong? You look unhappy, my dear little brother?"

Itachi pushed open Sasuke's door and walked in.

Because the clan elders were all seeking out their father to discuss important clan matters, he, like Sasuke, was invited upstairs by his mother.

"Nissan!"

Upon hearing the voice, Sasuke's pout immediately turned into a smile, and he couldn't help but complain.

"My father promised to teach me chakra refining techniques this morning, but he forgot about me as soon as he turned around."

Sasuke tugged at Itachi's pants, looking on expectantly:

"Nisan! Why don't you teach me?"

Itachi hesitated for a moment, then gently touched Sasuke's forehead:

"Forgive me, Sasuke, maybe next time."

Itachi rejected Sasuke because the clan elders all suddenly came to see his father.

He needed to help Shisui find out about important matters in the clan, and Sasuke's room happened to be above the living room.

By staying here, Itachi can more clearly overhear what his father and the others are talking about.

"It's always like this... Nii-san, you say that every time, and you touch my forehead every time."

"Hmph, who did you learn that from?"

Itachi recalled his childhood experiences and gave an awkward laugh:

"With one of your uncles named Haneda."

"Haneda? Uchiha Haneda? Is that the person Father often mentioned?"

While Itachi and Sasuke were talking about Haneda, people in the living room downstairs were already discussing something.

Upon hearing his father's voice, Itachi immediately fell silent.

Seeing that his brother was ignoring him again, Sasuke snorted a few times and pouted.

…………

The living room below Sasuke's room.

Fugaku and the elders sat upright on the sofa, where all the high-ranking and powerful figures of the Uchiha clan had gathered.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Fugaku, the elder said:

"Clan Chief, you must already know about Lord Haneda's situation, right?"

"What news?" Fugaku asked, puzzled.

He had promised to teach Sasuke chakra refining techniques that morning, so he didn't go out.

He was unaware of the important matters concerning Haneda.

The elder glanced at Fugaku and sighed inwardly.

However, thinking that Lord Haneda would be returning soon, the elder explained with a smile:

"It's about Lord Haneda."

"A week ago, Lord Haneda said in the Land of Waves that he was preparing to return to Konoha and succeed as the Fifth Hokage."

"Just today, Lord Haneda did something very important!"

"He killed the Third Tsuchikage in the Land of Earth, but the specific details have not yet been ascertained."

"However, after assassinating the Third Tsuchikage, Lord Haneda probably escaped successfully."

"This morning, Lord Haneda's bounty increased by a full 100 million."

After the First Elder finished speaking, the Second Elder echoed:

"Yes, after Lord Haneda assassinated Onoki, Iwagakure took the initiative to seek peace, so the news is probably true."

"From now on, neither the Third Hokage nor that old devil Danzo will dare to target our Uchiha clan again!"

"The ninjas who were monitoring us have all left."

"Is that so?" Fugaku smiled.

But he couldn't help feeling a little worried about Haneda.

If Haneda is assassinated in the Land of Earth, Iwagakure will definitely seal off the borders of the Land of Earth and conduct a large-scale search.

Will Haneda be able to escape from the Land of Earth?

Suddenly, a familiar orange cat, carrying a letter in its mouth, gracefully leaped onto the living room window.

The elders who were singing praises to Haneda in the living room fell silent the moment they saw Haneda's summoned beast.

Fugaku went to the kitchen, took out a box of dried fish, and placed it in front of the orange cat.

"Here you go, this is the agreed-upon payment."

Fugaku picked up the letter and said softly.

The orange cat hugged the can of dried fish that had been opened and started showing it off wildly.

The elders and the others knew that the clan leader had brought a letter from Yu Tian, ​​and they waited anxiously.

After a while, Fugaku put down the letter and smiled:

"Haneda will be back in a while."

The elder asked anxiously, "Clan leader, what exactly did Lord Haneda do in the Land of Earth?"

"Uh... he didn't say."

Fugaku wasn't quite sure, so he glanced down at the letter again and said,

"Haneda mentioned it briefly, saying that he killed Onoki in front of the Iwa ninja."

"ah?!!"

Many elders looked at Fugaku with shocked expressions.

Lord Haneda's short sentence contained a wealth of information.

They always thought that Lord Haneda was the one who assassinated Onoki, but they never expected that he would kill him right in front of the Iwa ninja!

As the commander-in-chief of the war on the side of Iwagakure, Onoki was in the command post, surrounded not only by the secret guards.

There are at least three thousand Iwa ninja.

Considering that Iwagakure is preparing a major attack on Konoha, they have gathered at least eight thousand ninjas.

And Haneda-sama actually killed their leader, Onoki, in front of such a large number of Iwa ninja.

Such a record answered all their doubts.

Why did the ninjas secretly monitoring the Uchiha clan's territory all withdraw at the same time in the morning?

Why did Iwagakure suddenly sue for peace?

It's all because of Lord Haneda's terrifying strength!
