"Has there been no word from the butler yet?"

"It should still be on its way."

Sakata put the teacup back and looked at the one-sided battle, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

The situation is clearly very clear: the rebels, who are essentially bandits, are being repeatedly defeated by the samurai he has bribed.

But the unease in my heart only deepened over time.

Just then, a figure passed through the eaves and finally stood on the roof of the hall.

Sakata turned around and saw the genin named Haneda.

"What are you doing here? Think it through. I am a business partner of the daimyo, bringing hundreds of millions of dollars to the Land of Fire every year."

"Besides, I am your employer. Do you want to kill your employer and ruin Konoha's reputation?"

Haneda waited quietly for Sakata to finish speaking, until he calmed down, his palms sweating nervously and his thighs trembling unconsciously.

"Shouldn't all the bad guys die in the ending of a happy story?"

"This is a parting gift."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a thousand birds chirping echoed from the roof of the hall.

Just as Sakata was about to escape, hundreds of Chidori Senbon needles pierced his body, and he finally collapsed helplessly on the brick road.

"what!!!"

Kazuo Yamano, who had just stepped out of the house to check the situation, saw his father lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, and he immediately screamed in terror.

"There's still one who slipped through the net... Let's kill him too. I've disliked you for a long time."

The cry of the Thousand Birds rang out again, and a sharp spear pierced through Kazuo Yamano's heart.

Thus, the entire Yamano family perished here.

Haneda stared blankly at the samurai and the rebels who rushed in.

He said lightly:

"Give you two choices."

"First, he will replace Yamano Sakata in charge of trade between the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire, and pay tribute to the Uchiha clan of Konoha every year."

"Second, die here with him."

…………

in the afternoon.

A large ship sailed away from the port connecting the Land of Waves to the Land of Fire.

Asma stared at the boxes of gold artifacts and stacks of banknotes, his excitement reaching a fever pitch.

The loot the rebel army plundered from Sakata's residence alone would be enough to make him two richer in the future.

That's equivalent to at least 14 S-rank missions.

"Brother Haneda, we've struck it rich this time!!" Asuma exclaimed excitedly.

"It's just a little money. Are you short of money?" Haneda retorted.

This question stumped Asma.

They are both people with powerful connections, and they certainly don't lack money.

But the thought of the rebels insisting on giving so much money as a token of their gratitude still excited Asma, who counted the banknotes over and over again, checking the accounts.

…………

Daimyofu, the capital of the Land of Waves.

"Sakata is dead, and the Uchiha clan is demanding to take over a portion of their business. Daimyo, what's your opinion?"

"Just send over a small amount of money. With the foundation left by Sakata, we can earn that money back quickly."

"What about those rebel armies?"

"Rebel army? Aren't they rebels and bandits?"

After the emperor finished speaking, the officials below all smiled knowingly.

Daimyo then said:

"Remember to cover up all the arrangements made in the Land of Water, and don't leave anyone who is too deeply involved alive."

"And send all the donated money to Daming Prefecture."

…………

On the other side of the sea, in the land of water, lies the underground base of Ban.

White Zetsu's figure emerged from the ground.

"Lord Madara, Uchiha Haneda ended the battle using only genjutsu."

Madara opened his three-tomoe Sharingan and glanced at White Zetsu, and all the information White Zetsu had recorded was immediately transmitted into his brain.

"interesting."

"Did the illusion begin the moment the hand was hooked?"

"It seems that even ordinary Jonin are no match for him."

Chapter 65 Returning to the Village, an Unexpected Encounter with Class 7

A few days later, Konoha Village.

"Finally back in the village!" Asma excitedly ran towards the village entrance.

For the first time, he felt that everything in the village was so wonderful.

Haneda smiled slightly as he watched Asuma run.

He looked at the gates of Konoha, secretly thinking that he could finally meet Obito, Kakashi, and the others.

Shouldn't Class 7 still be working on a D-level mission?

I wonder how Obito felt knowing he had completed an A-rank mission...

"Uncle Shuomao, we're going back to the village. Shall we go our separate ways or go get some food first?"

"Haneda Asahi Shige said softly."

"Let's go eat first, it's almost noon now." Sakumo looked up at the sky, the sun was hanging high overhead.

Thinking about the delicious food in the village, Haneda unconsciously swallowed.

They've been busy traveling these past few days, and the food they've had along the way hasn't been very good.

It would be a shame not to treat myself to a meal after returning to the village.

"Then let's go, Uncle Sakumo."

"I heard there's a new ramen restaurant in the village called Yi Le, and it's pretty good. How about we go there for a meal?"

Haneda tilted his head back and said with a smile.

"Okay. Ask Hong and Asuma how it goes. If they agreed, then go there," Sakumo nodded.

Upon hearing this, Hong immediately said:

“Sure, Haneda. Asuma probably won’t refuse you, so just eat there.”

As they chatted, Haneda and the others entered the village.

Just as he turned the corner of a street, a cat came running at top speed and slipped between Haneda's legs.

Then a familiar figure bumped into them.

"Kakashi, don't worry about me, go catch the cat!" It was Obito who bumped into Haneda, and he turned around and said to Kakashi.

Kakashi stood there, looking surprised, as did Rin.

At that moment, Obito realized something, looked up, and saw that it was Haneda!

"You're back, Haneda?!"

Obito hugged Haneda tightly and said excitedly,

"I didn't expect you to come back so early. I thought you wouldn't be back for a month."

Haneda ruffled Obito's hair and smiled, "Aren't you going to catch the cat?"

After kneading for only a short while, Obito realized what was happening, immediately took a few steps back, and shouted loudly:

"You bastard Haneda, who told you to touch my head?!"

"By the way, Kakashi, where's the cat?"

"The cat is here."

Kurenai Yuhi, carrying a cat, walked over. "Did you take on a cat-catching mission?"
