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

Lu Jiuxi smiled broadly and said:

"The Hokage's move against the Daimyo's residence is brilliant!"

"With this money, those ninja academies that only recruit a few hundred students must recruit three thousand, not a single one less!"

Suddenly, Tsunade, drawn by the smell of money, came looking for her.

She rubbed her hands together, looked at Yuda, and smiled broadly.

"Uchiha Eiji, who is naturally kind-hearted, I heard that your Root organization has brought in a lot of money..."

"Wait, you didn't run into another gambling debt, did you?"

Haneda knew from Tsunade's smile and words that she must want something from him.

"How could that be? It's just a little bit of money. Didn't you make a fortune in Daming Prefecture?"

Lu Jiu, who was in charge of the money, couldn't stand it anymore and said with a dark face:

"How much do you owe, Lady Tsunade?"

If this resource accidentally infringes upon your rights, please notify us and delete it in time.

Tsunade held up one finger and looked at Haneda pitifully.

It's too difficult to squeeze money out of Shikaku; Haneda is still quite adorable.

Haneda tentatively asked, "Ten thousand?"

Tsunade shook her head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "A little over a billion..."

"One hundred thousand?" Haneda probed again.

"It's only one million, just the money for an S-rank mission."

Upon hearing the price of one million taels, Shikaku could no longer sit still.

He was afraid that Yu Tian would be soft-hearted and take out money, so he immediately said:

"One million taels! One million taels!"

"Even two sacks combined couldn't hold that much money!"

"Lady Tsunade, you are a high-ranking official in Konoha!"

Tsunade gave an awkward laugh. Shikaku was stingy even when it came to Konoha's important matters, let alone when it came to his own debts.

Whether or not the money will be repaid depends on Haneda.

Haneda was not only the Hokage and the supreme leader of Konoha, but he was also extremely wealthy.

Taking out a million is not a big problem.

Tsunade didn't want the news to spread throughout the village tomorrow that she, one of the legendary Sannin, was actually owing money and not paying it back.

Haneda glanced at Tsunade's expectant little eyes, and thinking about the help Tsunade had given him in the past, he decided to pay for it himself.

But suddenly, Yuta had a flash of inspiration, remembering that Kakashi was still in the Cloud Village braving the cold wind, and laughed:

"How about this, Tsunade-senpai, the village will cover the money for you first, and I'll assign you a mission."

"This task is simple for you: just call Jiraiya back and relieve him of his duties in Kumogakure."

"What kind of business is it for Kakashi to be away from home for so long, as the captain of both the Anbu and Root?"

"Jiraiya? Alright, I'll take this mission!"

Tsunade readily accepted the task; she had long wanted to bring Jiraiya back to the village.

Why should she come back to work? Jiraiya was just peeping at the women's bathhouse outside, living a carefree life.

Shikaku watched Tsunade's departing figure with the money, feeling a pang of heartache.

However, Haneda handled it very well, turning a private matter into a public one, which was good for both Tsunade and the village.

It's just that... Tsunade's job is going to fall on him again!

At this point, Haneda inquired about the important matter:

"How's the new era Konoha-style Will of Fire that Asuma wrote coming along?"

"If I think it's feasible, I'll add it to the textbook."

Shikaku subconsciously replied, "Asuma put it in the top drawer of your desk this morning."

"So fast?"

Haneda thought it would be good enough if Asuma could finish compiling the teaching materials before the start of the school year, but he didn't expect it to only take a few days.

Is this a burst of inspiration?

Haneda curiously opened the textbook and saw that it did not contain the red ideology he was required to read.

The words "cult of personality" were written crookedly on every page.

Haneda looked at it carefully again, trying to decipher the meaning between the lines.

The entire book is filled with two words—hymns.

Haneda closed the book and sighed.

"I shouldn't have given this task to Asuma. Oh well, I'll write it myself."

Shikaku knew what was written in the textbook, and he had to admit that Asuma's writing was quite good.

Before he knew Haneda, he would definitely admire Haneda after reading that book.

Shikaku laughed and said, "Is that not allowed? I think Asuma's teaching materials are quite good; they can improve Hokage-sama's ability to unite people."

"The new era has no need for blind worshippers," Haneda refused.

One Asuma is enough; he doesn't want a bunch of people secretly following him like Asuma does...

Upon realizing this, Yuda quickly shook his head, clearing his mind, and then began to think about how to compile teaching materials.

Among the writers in the ninja world, Jiraiya is the most famous.

His biography on perseverance and ninja skills was quite good, and it served as guidance to two Hokage.

Later, Naruto even used this to talk Nagato into submission...

Haneda felt that he could write down his experiences and then elaborate on his thoughts about ninjas and the world.

Add a touch of Marxism, and it becomes a distinctly new-era Konoha-style Will of Fire...

Haneda smiled and said:

"I've decided, I'll write it myself, and make it a required reading for the Ninja Academy."

"How about calling the book 'My Struggle'?"

"My struggle? Does the Hokage want to write about himself?" Shikaku asked curiously.

Haneda said, "My story is exciting enough, and students may not be interested in that kind of dry, uninteresting knowledge."

"But they'll definitely be interested in me as Hokage."

…………

Large quantities of glittering, valuable items were being transported to Konoha, making it difficult to avoid attracting attention.

Soon, the Third Hokage received news that Haneda had pacified the Daimyo Prefecture.

He not only solved the daimyo's problem, but also confiscated the property of the ministers who opposed him, bringing back a total of 5 billion taels!

If Haneda's outrageous act of calling a deer a horse were included in the history books of the Land of Fire, he would be considered a truly heinous villain.

But in Konoha, that would make him an exceptionally outstanding Hokage.

Of the five Hokage in Konoha, only Haneda, besides the First and Second Hokage who held a superior position compared to the Daimyo, could achieve such a feat.

Furthermore, Haneda took similar actions to those of the second generation, gaining control of the daimyo's prefecture.

Haneda, however, was completely naked and made no attempt to conceal it.

His teacher, however, was secretly supporting him.

"I'm getting old, I can't keep up with the younger generation."

The Third Hokage sighed, glanced at the time, and then headed towards Konoha Prison.

It's getting late, he should bring Danzo his meal.

(PS: I haven't been in good shape lately, and some readers have commented that my writing isn't as good as before.)

(I plan to revise and improve the outline, cut some unimportant plot points, and add some interesting daily life scenes.)

(One update tonight, no update tomorrow morning. I'm taking a half-day off and will resume updates tomorrow night.)

Konoha Prison.

Danzo sat in a chair, carefully knitting a sweater, stitch by stitch.
