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

Seeing that Takakura Bunta had not yet taken his leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said:

"Is there anything else, Bunta?"

"That's right, Third Hokage. When Asuma spoke of Lord Sakumo, both Uchiha Haneda and Uchiha Obito refuted him and called him a hero."

"Furthermore, Haneda defeated Asuma, and even Kakashi was defeated by Haneda."

Chapter 012 Regret, Shadow, Bang

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a moment.

It's nothing that my own son was defeated; after all, he's an Uchiha.

But if Kakashi is defeated, then there's a problem.

In short, Kakashi is a genius among geniuses.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had only seen such talent in Orochimaru and Minato.

"Could he have awakened the Sharingan?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi could only attribute his achievements to his bloodline.

"Hmm. A single-tomoe Sharingan."

"However, when Haneda and Kakashi first started their intense battle, Haneda did not activate his Sharingan."

"His taijutsu is only half a step weaker than Kakashi's, and he has also learned the C-rank ninjutsu Great Fireball Technique."

"During the battle, we didn't expect Kakashi to use the Shadow Clone Technique, which is why we were temporarily defeated."

"When Haneda awakened his Sharingan, he overpowered Kakashi in taijutsu."

Hearing the words in his ear, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his cigarette.

He put down his pipe, exhaled a puff of smoke, and smiled slightly:

"It seems that new leaves have sprouted in Konoha."

"Bunta, please observe the changes in Kakashi and Haneda at school. They are the new sprouts of the new era."

"Yes, Third Generation-sama!"

"Well, let's go down."

After Takakura Bunta left, Sarutobi Hiruzen pulled out Haneda's file from the file folder.

He glanced at the description above, and four words caught his eye—second to last.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth twitched, and then he understood when he thought of the Nara clan children.

"Sigh, the Uchiha clan..."

"Pity."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaled a smoke ring, and then thought of his rebellious child.

"Asuma..."

"Gamabunta intentionally withheld some information. Uchiha Haneda should have had a verbal altercation with Asuma, roughly about Sakumo and Kakashi..."

"The details of the battle weren't mentioned, only the outcome."

"Alright, let's not make things difficult for him. Let him write a report about the fight between Haneda and Kakashi..."

Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was pondering, a figure wearing a gray robe with a bandage covering his right eye walked in.

The newcomer was none other than the Dark Lord of the Ninja World, the 5.5th Nabekage, Shimura Danzo.

He didn't knock; he just pushed the door open and came in.

"Hiruzen, this guy is a student at the Ninja Academy. I'll take him from Root."

Danzo handed Haneda's file to Hiruzen Sarutobi and said without any politeness.

"Danzo, you should know that the Uchiha clan is particularly wary of the Root clan."

The third generation leader glanced at the name on the file, took a drag of his cigarette, and spoke slowly.

His tone was very calm, but his words still conveyed a sense of refusal.

Upon hearing this, Danzo immediately erupted:

"Hiruzen, you're too weak. The evil Uchiha clan should..."

"Enough!" The Third Hokage slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

After a moment, the Third Hokage realized his tone had been a bit too harsh, and added:

“The Uchiha have always been a member of the village, that’s an indisputable fact, and I need to consider their opinions.”

"Also, the matter of Sakumo should be concluded. He can no longer obtain the position of the Fourth Hokage, at least not during the vote of confidence."

"Danzo, you should know what you're supposed to do."

The third-generation leader took a drag of his cigarette. The first half of his speech was soothing, while the second half was a blatant threat.

Upon hearing this, Danzo frowned and slightly closed his left eye.

"I will have someone handle the rumors. As for the evil Uchiha..."

"Hiruzen, you should know how our teacher views the inherently evil Uchiha clan!"

Danzo spoke hoarsely, seemingly trying to reason, but actually using coercion.

"Enough, stop this, Danzo. The Uchiha belong to Konoha, even when our teacher was alive!"

"You'll regret this, Hiruzen!" Danzo said, staring intently at the Third Hokage with his left eye wide open.

"I am the Hokage!" The Third Hokage stood up, his hands gripping the table as he stared intently at Danzo.

boom!

The door to the Hokage's office slammed shut, and a figure in a gray robe left the Hokage building.

His figure gradually faded into the darkness and eventually disappeared completely.

At the same time, a thin figure rushed into the office.

…………

Haneda was unaware of what had happened at the Hokage Building.

Even knowing that Danzo had his eye on him, Haneda wasn't too worried.

Because he had already found two powerful backers: Sakumo Hatake and the Uchiha clan.

At this time, in the territory of the Uchiha clan.

When news arrived that Haneda had defeated Kakashi, a rare genius boy from Konoha, the Uchiha clan leader, Kenji Uchiha, planned to personally meet with Haneda.

"Lord Patriarch."

Haneda stood somewhat awkwardly at the door and greeted them.

To be honest, he's a little shy and doesn't really like interacting with strangers.

Of course, he will go if necessary, just like now.

"Oh, it's Haneda. Please have a seat," the clan chief said with a gentle smile.

He was pulling another young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a stern face. Haneda guessed he was another expressionless guy.

“This is my son, Uchiha Fugaku.”

"Haneda, if you don't mind, you can call him Fugaku-nii."

The clan chief smiled.

Upon hearing the name of that expressionless man, Yuda paused for a moment.

Isn't this a tragic death, a one-against-seven battle, and the father of Sass?!

The opportunity to meet the future Kaleidoscope powerhouse who can take on seven opponents at once, and to get Shisui with a buy-one-get-one-free deal—the chance has arrived!

Besides, Fugaku already possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan!

Haneda immediately greeted him warmly, "Brother Fugaku."

"Hmm." Fugaku nodded slightly in response.

He wasn't good at talking to people, but his father's instructions forced him to take the initiative to find topics to talk about.

"Haneda, you have excellent grades at school, right?"

Ok? ? ?

Do you even know how to chat? Or did you not look at my profile?!

Haneda paused for a moment, but quickly put on a bright smile again.

There's no way around it; for the sake of the kaleidoscope, a little embarrassment is nothing to worry about.

"Not bad, Brother Fugaku." Haneda smiled without changing his expression.

"Then the grades must be very good, definitely among the top in the grade."
