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

"Haneda, no matter what you become in the future, no matter what you plan to do, I will always support you."

…………

The Land of Bears, Star Ninja Village.

A snake slithered through the eerie tunnels, across the poisonous valley, and arrived at the Dawn base.

When Yekura saw the snake carrying Haneda's chakra, she knew the plan was about to begin.

She picked up the scroll the snake had spat out and unfurled it.

The document contains a detailed plan targeting the Daimyo Prefecture.

Yecang put the scroll away, said goodbye to Zabuza, and then left with his men.

She will travel to Daming Prefecture and, at the right moment, ignite a spark that can start a prairie fire.

…………

The Daimyo's sanctions against Konoha came swiftly.

Just three days later, the daimyo blocked the only road leading to Konoha under the pretext of suppressing mountain bandits.

The army of the Land of Fire did not openly rob merchants of their goods; instead, they constantly harassed caravans under the pretext of inspecting mountain bandits.

At first, Shikaku thought that a thief had really broken into the mountains.

After all, it is very common for people to become bandits in the Land of Fire, and they often receive missions to hunt down mountain bandits.

But after being stuck in traffic for three or four days, Shikaku realized something was wrong and quickly went to find Haneda, who was at home taking care of the child.

"Lord Hokage! The Daimyo has blocked the roads, and many caravans can't get into Konoha at all!"

"Right now, food prices are rising, and we've received quite a few complaints recently!"

Haneda said calmly, "I understand. I have already arranged for the Root to go and help deal with the bandits."

"The roots?"

Lu Jiu naturally knew what kind of stuff the roots were.

Dealing with the bandits would likely mean dealing with all the daimyo's men sent to deal with them as well...

However, the Daimyo's targeting of Konoha will not stop; this is just the beginning.

Shikaku thought that Haneda intended to change the daimyo, and thought that Haneda would make a move soon.

He then ignored it.

But after some time, the daimyo seemed to be enraged by Haneda's act of sending someone to kill someone in Root.

He deliberately diverted a large amount of military rations that were originally sent to the battlefield in Kumogakure, and instead transferred them to the border of the Land of Rivers, under the guise of disaster relief.

He even sent a letter of apology, saying that he really didn't mean to use his real name, it was just that there was a flood there.

He could not bear to see his people suffer.

Shikaku could clearly see that the Daimyo was deliberately trying to disgust Konoha.

Where is the land of rivers?

It is located to the southwest of the Land of Fire, while the Land of Lightning is located to the northeast of the Land of Fire.

This distance spans the entire Land of Fire!

As expected, the ninjas sent to investigate discovered:

It had just rained for several days, which made the river a bit faster and caused the water level to rise.

The problem will resolve itself; there's no need for a big fuss.

Shikaku approached Haneda, wanting to urge him to start sooner, but Haneda brushed him off with a simple "I know."

However, Kakashi went to the battlefield in the Land of Lightning.

The battle situation there has basically stabilized.

Shikaku said nothing more to Haneda.

Even though the other ninjas harbored resentment, they remained silent under Haneda's authority.

But before the matter of diverting grain from the flood was over, new sanctions from Daming Prefecture came yet again!

The funds that were supposed to be distributed in March of this year were simply not distributed.

The daimyo sent another letter of apology, saying how miserable his people were, and how he couldn't even collect taxes.

As it turned out, the old man Daimyo had just hosted a grand party in his palace.

They also invited celebrities from all walks of life, as well as dignitaries from other countries, to celebrate life together.

Its extravagance and waste are comparable to the military expenditure of a war.

It is said that all the servants in the entire Daming Prefecture ate their fill that night.

The uneaten food was dumped on the ground and fed to the dog.

Shikaku sat in his office, gazing up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

The Hokage clocks in and out of get off work, but does almost nothing.

Before leaving, Kakashi left all the affairs of the Anbu and Root to him and departed in a carefree manner.

Tsunade occasionally drinks a little alcohol, and when she's drunk, she dumps all the problems on me.

The only saving grace is that Asma is quite proactive in his work.

Of course, that only applies when Haneda is sitting in his office...

"Why am I suffering so much!"

Shikaku gazed at the sky, tears streaming down his face.

Chapter 250 The Arson Case in Daming Prefecture, Calling a Deer a Horse

"It's because you haven't worked hard enough. You've been an elder for so long, but you still haven't adapted to your job."

"Shikaku, for the sake of Konoha, you must strive and work hard!"

Haneda pushed open the office door and comfortably lay down in the Hokage chair.

Upon hearing this, Shikaku was shocked by Haneda's shamelessness.

What is it that we're not trying hard enough?

I often start work at 7 a.m. and work overtime until midnight, only sleeping six hours a day.

You, Hokage, clock in and out every day, and your total working hours add up to less than two and a half hours a day. You say I'm not working hard enough?

However, under the influence of the Fifth Hokage, Haneda, Shikaku ultimately remained silent.

Haneda wasn't just doing this out of boredom; he came over to give Shikaku a pep talk.

He took out an intelligence scroll and tossed it to Lu Jiu:

"Daming Prefecture has been attacked by an illegal organization."

"The entire Daming Prefecture, with a palace area of ​​12 square kilometers, was burned down, leaving only the main hall."

Shikaku looked at the intelligence scroll, listened to Haneda's words, and subconsciously looked at Haneda:

"What did you do?"

"Don't talk nonsense, okay? I'm the Hokage, I would never do such a petty thing!"

After patting his chest and saying this, Haneda added in a low voice,

"I had other organizations do it, it wasn't anyone from Konoha."

"..."

Shikaku knew it was Haneda who did it. He pondered for a moment and asked:

"Lord Hokage, what are your plans next?"

"Of course we're heading to the Daimyo's residence! The Daimyo has been attacked by a terrorist organization, and as the military organization of the Land of Fire, how could we, Konoha, not go to investigate!"

As they were talking, Haneda walked over to Shikaku and put his hand on his shoulder.

With a whoosh, the Flying Thunder God Technique was activated, and the two immediately arrived at Daming Prefecture.

At this time, the once luxurious and magnificent Daming Mansion was reduced to ruins by the fire.

Everywhere there were traces of fire, a completely blackened area.

Inside the mansion, many people were still using basins to collect water from outside and extinguish the flames that had not yet completely died down.

Haneda stood on a high place and said loudly:

"I am the Hokage of Konoha. I will seek justice for the Daimyo for the arson attack in Daimyo's residence last night!"

After saying that, Haneda created a shadow clone and used fire and water ninjutsu to attack the sky.

Large amounts of white steam filled the sky, a strange phenomenon that attracted attention.

Not long after, dark clouds covered the sky above Daming Prefecture.
