Haneda said: "Regardless of whether the mission is right or wrong, we cannot give up the mission just because our employer has an unclear relationship with the Fire Country Daimyo."

"And giving up the mission temporarily will affect Konoha's reputation."

"Besides, the employer did not deceive us. The prices were clearly stated before us."

Sakumo had received detailed information before coming to his employer, and he nodded in approval.

Compared to Asuma's immaturity, Haneda's considerations are much more thoughtful.

And what Haneda said is very true. Why do you think Sakata is a bad guy?

Can you tell just from what a few people say?

What's the use of eyes then?

Sakumo said: "The mission continues. Asuma, Hong, what Haneda said is right. We are ninjas, and many times we have to give up unnecessary emotions."

"But……"

Asuma began to speak, but was interrupted by Sakumo.

"No buts, at least you have to see the truth of the matter clearly before considering it."

"What if this is the truth?" Asma asked.

At this time, Sakumo looked at Haneda, and his intention of investigation was self-evident.

Haneda said without hesitation:

"Complete the mission before killing. Completing the mission is the professional ethics of a ninja, and killing is a personal conscience."

"This is the best way. We are ninjas after all." Sakumo said to Asuma.

…………

The Water Kingdom is across the sea from the Fire Kingdom.

In an underground base, a man with gray hair sat on a chair with his eyes closed.

After a while, a humanoid creature with white left and black right emerged from the ground.

Undoubtedly, the identities coming from are Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.

"Madara-sama, Uchiha Haneda has left Konoha and is currently at the border of the Land of Fire, and will soon be heading to the Land of Waves."

"The team's instructor is Konoha White Fang's Hatake Sakumo, and his teammates are the Sandaime Hokage's son Asuma Sarutobi and his lover Kurenai Yuhi." Black Zetsu said.

"What mission did they accept?" Ban asked in a low and hoarse voice with an expressionless face.

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu quickly reported the details of the mission and also told about the situation in the Land of Waves.

Hearing the struggle hidden under the water in the Land of Waves, Madara laughed a few times and said slowly:

"interesting."

"I have come to the Hidden Mist Village to issue the mission..."

"Since that kid Sakumo is interested in training Uchiha Haneda, let's arrange for a jonin to lead the team to test his strength."

"It's a good opportunity to let him see the dark side of the world."

…………

It took less than half a day to take a boat from the Fire Country Pier to the Wave Country.

It was just afternoon when Haneda and his companions arrived at a city called Fengbin, which means a city of harvest and by the sea.

Daimyo Prefecture is located here, and Toyohama is equivalent to the capital of Wave Country.

Although it is called the capital, the entire city is similar to a small town in the Fire Nation.

The streets are paved with yellow mud, and the better sections are paved with bricks.

There are many open-air shops on both sides of the street selling fish, shrimp, bread, fruit, woolen clothes and other food and clothing.

More expensive items like jewelry are only sold in the city center.

The poverty of Wave Country is visible.

After walking for a while, we arrived at Sakata's residence.

There are two majestic stone lions at the entrance of the mansion. Walking in, you will see carved railings and painted buildings everywhere.

Two stone lions carved from marble stand majestically in front of the ebony door.

Stepping into the interior, there are rockeries, flowing water, curved bridges, and the three friends of winter are planted around.

The corridors you pass through are well-arranged, with carved railings and painted buildings everywhere.

This made Haneda feel as if he had traveled back in time, and it was as if he was seeing a Jiangnan garden.

This classical and majestic mansion would make the Uchiha family, the first family in Konoha, ashamed.

"Gentlemen, I have a party tonight and I cannot attend you."

Sakata said to Sakumo and the others with a polite smile on his face.

"No need to provide protection?" Shuomao asked.

Hearing this, Sakata thought for a moment and said with a smile:

"The place I'm heading to has good security. If you don't mind, you can protect my good-for-nothing son."

"He should be in East City now."

At this point, Sakata said to the middle-aged man beside him:

"Butler, please go and entertain these gentlemen."

Seeing this, the butler bowed slightly to Shumao and the others and said:

"Please follow me, gentlemen."

After leaving Sakata's residence with the butler, Sakumo suddenly spoke:

"Butler, I have to leave for a while. You can take them away first."

"Okay." The butler didn't think much about it. He just thought that Shuo Mao didn't want to protect the young master, so he politely refused.

After Sakumo left, Haneda became the center of the group.

Asuma and Hong both followed closely behind Haneda, and the butler could tell who was in charge, chatting with Haneda along the way.

As soon as I arrived at East Market, I heard noises coming from across the street.

A group of people surrounded a dozen warriors with swords on their waists, and a young man was protected by the warriors.

The stall in front of the young man was smashed to pieces, and next to the stall lay an old man with a bruised face and nose.

The old man was protecting a little girl.

"What are you looking at? I beat people up and smashed the shop because this guy didn't pay the rent for the stall this month!"

"You dare to continue setting up a stall without paying? What kind of rules are you following?!"

The leading young man paid no attention to the crowd around him and continued to speak arrogantly.

"Bullshit! You're clearly attracted to the Third Master's granddaughter!!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and immediately attracted a wave of agreement.

"That's right! Who here doesn't know what you, Yamano Kazuo, are like?!"

"Yes! You bully men and women, force people to buy and sell things, and you still have the nerve to talk about rules?!"

……

"If you dare to gather and cause trouble again, the rent at the end of this year will be doubled!!"

As soon as Yamano Kazuo said this, the scene suddenly became quiet.

The Shanye family has absolute power in Fengbin, and the merchants alone control almost all the traffic on the sea.

Not to mention controlling the shops, even their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even their lives can be controlled.

"It is only natural to pay back debts. Since this old man can't pay, he can use his granddaughter to pay off the debt!"

"What are you still standing there for? Arrest him!!"

After Yamano Kazuo finished speaking, the warriors around him began to arrest people.

No one among the people gathered on the field dared to step forward to stop it. Some people looked at it numbly and left silently.

Their lives are hard enough, how can they care about others?

At this moment, Haneda and his men stopped the samurai.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you so unreasonable? Just give the rent a few days' grace period, why are you hitting someone?"

Asuma couldn't stand people who were more arrogant than him, a top second generation, and spoke out.

"Ninjas from Konoha? Why don't you help my father complete his mission and start meddling in other people's business?"

Asuma was so angry at the second generation in front of him that he laughed:

"What do you mean by meddling in other people's business? You've almost killed someone and robbed a woman. We're just seeing injustice and this is meddling in other people's business?"

"Are you out of your mind?"

Kazuo Yamano had never heard anyone scold him like this since he was a child, and he was so angry that he laughed.

He sneered, "So what if I kill you? So what if I rob you?"

"What's the difference between these untouchables and the straw in the field? A new batch will grow next year."

"Why, the legendary ninja-sama looks down on these lowly people so much?"

"Haha, you ninjas are much more efficient and quick in harvesting the lives of untouchables than people like me."

"One person is a whole village in one night. Master Ninja, tell me if these people are cheap or not?"
