"Remember to go to bed early tonight, Xiao Di."
Haneda ignored the second half of Deidara's sentence and instantly left using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
They arrived at Fugaku's house.
At this moment, Naruto was studying with Sasuke, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
Haneda secretly observed them and discovered that the two were indeed destined to be together.
We've only known each other for less than two days, and we're already getting along so well.
Without a sound, Haneda appeared behind Naruto in a flash, and smiled:
"Sorry, Sasuke, I need to borrow your Naruto~"
???
Before Sasuke could react, Naruto and Haneda vanished in an instant.
He rubbed his eyes, then suddenly realized something, and angrily pouted and stomped his feet.
"That wretched Uncle Haneda, he's just as bad as Brother Shisui."
…………
In the blink of an eye, Haneda brought Naruto back to the Hokage Building, to the Third Hokage's office where Kakashi was.
"I thought you would arrive at the last second."
Kakashi was already used to Haneda's sudden appearance, and he made a joke about it.
"I haven't lost my way in life."
Haneda tossed Kakashi a copy of Icha Icha Paradise and forcibly restrained him.
Then, holding Naruto's hand, he sat down in the chair where the Hokage handled official business, facing the Third Hokage.
Haneda and the Third Hokage stared at each other, when Naruto suddenly spoke:
"Grandpa Hokage, is what Uncle Haneda said true? Did you condone the inherently evil Danzo?"
"It's wrong for someone so young to swear, Naruto!"
Haneda tapped Naruto's head and added,
"However, Danzo is a bad person, so you can curse him as much as you want."
"Then why did you hit me?" Naruto asked, looking aggrieved.
"To educate you."
Haneda simply didn't want to embarrass the Third Generation too much.
Although the third generation was a bit stupid and corrupt, he still provided a lot of help to Haneda in the early days.
Haneda looked directly at the somewhat embarrassed Third Hokage and said in a deep voice:
"Next, I will correct your mistakes and restore all of Naruto's honors in the name of Hokage."
The Third Hokage said in a somewhat complicated tone, "You are the Hokage."
After saying that, he walked out of the office, then, as if remembering something, added:
"A large part of Konoha's finances depend on the Daimyo's government. Remember to write a letter to the Daimyo tonight explaining the situation. I will include my name in the letter."
"I entrust Konoha and Naruto to you."
With a click, the door closed.
When the Third Hokage left, Haneda understood that he had completely handed over the power of Hokage to him.
The desk was neatly organized, with all the files stacked together according to different categories.
Haneda casually pulled out a document, glanced at it, and felt a bit of a headache, but fortunately it was something the Third Hokage had dealt with before leaving.
"We need to find some people to help us handle this. What Hokage takes his job so seriously..."
Haneda looked up at Kakashi, who was sitting in a chair enjoying literature.
"what?"
"you guess."
Haneda gave a mysterious smile, and Kakashi immediately sensed something was wrong.
"I intend to appoint you as my Hokage advisor! A position of great power and prestige! Respected by thousands! But..."
"You don't want me to handle your official business, do you?" Kakashi saw through Haneda's little scheme at a glance.
This guy, aside from his cultivation, can be said to have been lazy since he was a child. I even do a lot of his homework for him.
"As expected of you. How about it? Being the Hokage advisor is really coveted. Others can only dream of sitting in this position."
"I reject."
"Ugh, don't go, Kakashi-san!"
Under Naruto's strange gaze, Haneda forcibly pressed Kakashi into the seat next to the Hokage.
If Naruto remembers correctly, that used to be where a one-eyed old man sat.
"Let me make this clear beforehand, I'm not going to handle everything for you," Kakashi said somewhat lazily.
Haneda massaged Kakashi's shoulders, turning his head to assure him:
"Don't worry, I definitely won't only be looking for you!"
Who are you planning to contact?
"Strategist, I think the young man from the Nara family is quite good. He has both high IQ and high EQ."
"Shikaku?"
"Of course, you are a reliable person, I trust you."
Kakashi's lips curled into a smile. He glanced at the clock on the wall, then stood up.
"Let's go, the meeting is about to begin."
Haneda took Naruto's hand and walked out of the office.
Meanwhile, Kakashi silently followed behind Haneda.
By this time, the conference room was already packed.
Everyone was waiting for the arrival of the fifth generation.
Da da da……
Footsteps sounded from outside the front door of the conference room.
With a click, the door opened.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Haneda led Naruto by the hand to the front of the conference room.
Kakashi was standing about half a body length away from Haneda.
…………
Chapter 243 In the name of Hokage, restore all of Naruto's honors!
Naruto felt a little uncomfortable seeing so many people staring at him all at once, and instinctively hid behind Haneda.
Seeing this, Haneda said:
"Isn't your dream to become Hokage?"
"This is what it feels like to be Hokage. Go and embrace it."
Haneda led Naruto to the front of the conference room, to the Hokage's seat.
He glanced around the conference room; everyone was holding their breath.
The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has arrived, and Haneda affectionately leads him there.
This is a clear political signal.
The families that had once absorbed the legacy of the Fourth Hokage and the Uzumaki clan were thrown into chaos.
Those who had previously ignored Naruto were now worried that Haneda might settle scores with them.
Under everyone's gaze, Haneda stood on the podium and began to speak:
"Today is my first day as Hokage, and I have four things to announce."
"First, as Hokage, restore all of Naruto's honors and declare to everyone in Konoha that he is the Fourth Hokage's child, the son of a hero!"
Haneda gazed at the heads of the Shimura, Sarutobi, and Aburame families, and said in a deep voice:
"He will inherit all the legacy of the Fourth Hokage and Uzumaki. I can forgive anyone who tries to take over the legacy, but..."
"Double the wealth must be paid as compensation!!"
The heads of the various ninja clans breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
They could accept spitting out blood to let the matter drop, as long as the Fifth Generation didn't bring it up again.
