Chapter 50

Chapter 50

Seeing this scene, Haneda couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hand.

To be honest, he felt embarrassed for Obito...

Who would believe that Obito, the one who always boasted loudly about being the future Hokage, could actually pull it off?

Moreover, this guy even dragged himself and Kakashi into it publicly.

"Ah~ Obito, you idiot."

Haneda helplessly rubbed his temples and quickly took Kakashi to a nearby restroom.

Once he and Kakashi were out of sight, Obito should return to the classroom.

As long as he ran fast enough, he probably wouldn't be chased and beaten...

The two climbed back into the classroom through a window along the school's pipe.

At this time, many people in the crowd by the corridor had dispersed, and students were gradually returning to their classrooms.

Haneda quickly spotted the battered Obito, whose face was bruised and swollen, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hearing the somewhat familiar laughter, Obito looked over.

Upon realizing it was Haneda, he couldn't hold back and pointed at him, shouting loudly:

"Damn Haneda, I've been beaten up! Not only do you not help me take revenge, but you're also laughing at me!"

"Sorry, Obito, I'm a trained ninja. Unless I can't help it, I won't laugh, hahaha..."

Haneda completely lost it, laughing louder and louder.

"Damn Haneda, don't think that just because I can't beat you, you can do whatever you want!!"

Obito swung a punch at Haneda, but it was caught directly.

Seeing this, Obito, still unconvinced, threw a left punch, which Haneda slightly dodged.

At the same time, Haneda knocked Obito's arm down.

Taking advantage of this, he held half of Obito's face and said softly:

"Stop messing around, Obito, I'll help you heal."

"Damn Haneda, who needs your help!"

"Even if Uchiha Obito jumps off here and dies outside, I would never accept your help to heal me!!"

Until the warm chakra flowed from Haneda's palm, that gentle feeling made Obito feel as if he were holding Rin's hand.

Even the usually tough-talking Obito couldn't care about his previous words and stood there, lost in the warmth.

It really felt warm, this sensation.

Obito's battered head slowly returned to normal.

Watching this scene, Kakashi suddenly recalled a vague memory.

That was when he had hugged Haneda to escape the explosion, just before he was about to die.

A sun appeared before him.

It radiated warm sunlight, comfortable and gentle, as if penetrating into the soul.

And the chakra in Haneda's hand exuded this feeling.

Suddenly, Kakashi realized something. He silently watched Haneda's back, thinking:

"So it was you who saved me that day, Haneda..."

"Even Lady Tsunade said it was a miracle that I survived..."

"You really are my sun, Haneda."

....

In the Uchiha clan, when the news came that the Third Hokage was meeting with Haneda and Kakashi.

The clan leader was sitting across from Fugaku.

He picked up the teacup on the table, his hand trembling slightly before he managed to drink a sip to calm his nerves.

"It seems the Third Hokage has agreed to our conditions." The clan leader was excited but also had a hint of worry.

"Isn't that good, Father?" Fugaku asked, noticing his father's worried expression.

"The days ahead for the Uchiha clan will become troublesome. We've gained too much, which will arouse the vigilance of the higher-ups in Konoha."

"And..."

The clan leader paused here, handing Fugaku the note sent by Haneda.

"See? The Third Hokage is already warning us."

"He doesn't want to see us too deeply involved with Haneda."

Hearing this, Fugaku carefully read the note Haneda had sent back several times.

He understood and said, "Father, it seems that for now, we Uchiha need to keep things stable."

Hearing Fugaku connect the dots, the clan leader immediately became excited.

His son was finally learning some wisdom!

Unbeknownst to him, Fugaku had this temperament.

He would later forcefully stabilize the Uchiha for more than a decade.

Even when most Uchiha clansmen could no longer endure the oppression from Konoha's higher-ups, Fugaku still held on and chose to compromise.

"That's right, Fugaku. The most important thing for Uchiha now is stability and to digest this harvest."

The clan leader praised Fugaku and then asked,

"What do you think about Haneda now?"

"Haneda?" Fugaku thought of that kid's smiling face and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"He's very sensible, and his talent is also quite good."

Upon hearing Fugaku say this, the clan leader's expression immediately fell.

"I'm not asking you about that! I'm asking about his impact on the Uchiha, Fugaku!"

Looking at his father, Fugaku cautiously probed,

"Helping Uchiha secure a position in the Anbu, gaining the trust of the Hokage faction?"

The clan leader shook his head repeatedly at this.

"The Hokage faction will not trust Uchiha. You need to remember that!"

"The real help he brings to Uchiha is the two people standing behind him."

"One is Sakumo Hatake, and the other is Might Dai."

"Both of them possess strength comparable to a Kage!"

"Winning their favor for Uchiha is the biggest help!"

"You must remember this, Fugaku!"

After thinking for a moment, Fugaku asked, "Then how should we treat Haneda? Like before?"

"No, we must take him more seriously."

The clan leader glanced at Fugaku's clear but foolish eyes and said helplessly,

"Forget it, I'll tell you directly what to do."

"Give him the qualification to participate in the Uchiha clan meeting, elevate his status in the clan, and make him truly feel a sense of belonging to Uchiha."

"That's the first step."

"Arrange for someone to protect his safety, have someone teach him, engage him in practice, and provide substantial benefits. That's the second."

"The third is to bind him with ties. This is a common method used by the Hokage faction, and we can do it too."

"This is what you should do, Fugaku..."

....

On the other side of Konoha, in the underground base of the Root beneath the Death Forest.

Danzo gripped the intelligence scroll tightly, gritting his teeth.

He saw the Third Hokage's compromise and slammed his fist on the table in rage, causing the documents on it to scatter to the floor.

"Hiruzen, how could you be so weak, still thinking of compromising with the Uchiha!"

"Is it because of that Uchiha brat, Hiruzen?!"

"I hate it! How could I hesitate back then and let you, this weakling, become Hokage!"

A scene seemed to appear before Danzo's eyes.

It was him, Hiruzen, and their teacher fleeing in the Land of Thunder.

When Tobirama asked who would stay behind, he hesitated, while Hiruzen decisively volunteered.

Danzo punched the image apart, scattering the pieces on the ground.

"Back then, I should have been as decisive as you, Hiruzen, and never hesitated!"

"But why have you now become like me back then, while I have become like you from back then, Hiruzen!!"

....

Across the sea from Konoha, in the Land of Water, in the current Bloody Mist.

In a dark and eerie basement, an old man connected to wooden pipes sat in a chair with his eyes tightly closed.

Until a black-and-white humanoid figure rose from the ground.

"Have those excellent juniors from Uchiha appeared now?" Madara asked in a deep voice, his tone commanding no dissent.

Black zetsu naturally knew what Madara wanted to ask, and it answered:

"Uchiha Haneda and Uchiha Obito."

"Two, not bad." Madara gave a faint evaluation and then asked,

"What is their current situation?"

Black zetsu relayed the collected information in full.

When it mentioned how Haneda and his friend Kakashi had teamed up to kill a Jonin, Madara smiled.

"His talent qualifies him to inherit the Eye of the Moon plan."

"But he is both smart and foolish, so he won't wholeheartedly work for me."

Hearing this, Black zetsu immediately flattered:

"Lord Madara, that's because Haneda doesn't understand your great and noble ideals!"

"Only someone as great and noble as you, Lord Madara, would understand and attempt to achieve true peace!!"

Madara ignored Black zetsu's flattery and asked again, "What about Uchiha Obito?"

Black zetsu then detailed Obito's information.

At this time, Madara laughed again.

"His love is profound, whether for friends, lovers, or the village."

"Broad love is the premise for Uchiha to open their eyes."

"And when one loses this love, they will truly understand the preciousness of love and comprehend this dark world..."

"And then try to change this world."
