Naruto: With Favorabiltity System

Chapter 202: Recruiting Pakura and Achieving a Major Breakthrough in Kekkei Genkai

Pakura was completely dumbfounded.

Haneda's explanation about the noble system, the shinobi system, and their role in sparking wars made so much sense—yet it was hard for her to fully comprehend.

She was indirectly betrayed, and the true culprit behind her misfortune seemed to trace back to the daimyō?!

"Cough… Can you just give me a straightforward answer?"

Haneda twitched slightly at her bluntness. *So, she didn't get it after all...*

But whether she understood or not didn't matter. With time, she might come to realize the truth.

All Haneda needed was for Pakura to acknowledge his plan and join him.

"It's simple: destroy the noble system, reform the shinobi system, and unify the world," Haneda said calmly.

"Shinobi rely on missions for their livelihood, which allows nobles to exploit them as tools to pursue their interests."

"But if we eliminate the current noble system and merge military and political power, we can establish a new shinobi system free from noble dependency."

"This new shinobi system, similar to Konoha's Police Force, will focus on maintaining national order and protecting the rights of the people."

"Nobles who disobey the law will be punished, and criminals and evildoers will face justice."

"The world will become a better place, and the main cause of conflicts among shinobi will disappear."

"Because there will no longer be missions."

Pakura caught onto a crucial point and asked, "But what about wars between nations? Even if nobles are gone, there will still be politicians."

As she mentioned politicians, Pakura's anger flared.

After all, Rasa betrayed her to Kirigakure to secure his political goals.

Haneda smiled faintly. "That's simple—unify the world."

As he spoke, his aura shifted, no longer hidden, and he revealed the power within him.

*The Mangekyō Sharingan!*

Pakura gasped in shock.

"Is this Uchiha Madara's power?!"

"It's not just Madara's power… There's also…"

Haneda removed his shirt, revealing the face of Hashirama Senju embedded in his right arm.

"The Wood Release of the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju."

After demonstrating his personal strength, Haneda pointed out the window and continued:

"And then there's the enormous manpower created by the new shinobi system."

"Do you see this small town? Maintaining its order alone requires over a hundred guards."

"But what if they were shinobi?"

"What if the money nobles waste on building palaces and indulging in luxuries was spent on training shinobi instead?"

"In less than ten years, Konoha could far surpass all other villages!"

"And these shinobi would have stable work as well."

"With no economic burden, better order, and significantly enhanced military strength, who could stand against such a village?"

Haneda gestured grandly as he laid out his vision:

"And I, Uchiha Haneda, will lead Konoha to unify the world, end all forms of war, and bring peace to this colorful world!"

Pakura was stunned.

She suddenly felt a deep admiration for this boy, younger than herself, standing before her.

Whether it was his personal strength or his charisma, Uchiha Haneda was worthy of being called a leader.

Moreover, Haneda's vision perfectly aligned with her own desire for revenge.

But… what about the countless innocent shinobi caught in the crossfire?

Pakura felt conflicted. If Haneda hadn't said so much, she would have readily agreed to his plan—for the sake of revenge.

However…

"I know what you're worried about," Haneda said, seemingly reading her mind. His voice turned serious.

"This is a necessary sacrifice for lasting peace."

"But I can promise you that the people you care about will not die."

Pakura bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

"Alright. What do you need me to do?"

Haneda replied, "Recover first. I'll tell you when the time comes."

"In the meantime, think carefully about what I've said. I don't want anyone regretting their decision midway. This is a path of no return."

"A path of no return that pits you against the entire world."

"And if you betray me or leak this information, I will kill you and everyone you've told."

Haneda's chakra flared, overwhelming and terrifying.

The sheer presence felt like the destructive aura of Shukaku, a tailed beast!

Pakura nodded firmly. "I understand. I won't betray you."

She then asked, "What should I call you in the future?"

"No need for a codename. Just call me Haneda-san," Haneda replied with a smile.

Pakura bore Haneda's Flying Thunder God mark on her body, so he wasn't worried about betrayal.

Moreover, Pakura hadn't completely abandoned her personal hatred; otherwise, she wouldn't have hesitated before siding with him.

As for names and codenames, Haneda had no interest in hiding.

The greatest manipulator in the shinobi world already had his eyes on him, so secrecy was unnecessary.

A few days later, Pakura had recovered from her injuries.

Haneda could sense that during her recovery, Pakura had already made up her mind to join him.

The way she looked at him was filled with respect and admiration, like a follower gazing at their leader.

Haneda then had her demonstrate the use of her Scorch Release.

Pakura showcased all the Scorch Release jutsu she knew multiple times.

With his Sharingan, Haneda recorded and replicated them.

The increased favorability he gained from Pakura also gave him new insights into Scorch Release.

By combining these insights with the power of the *All Things in Nature* ability, he was able to fuse chakra natures more efficiently.

Compared to before, using Scorch Release now required only a fraction of the chakra—about one percent of what it used to consume.

Additionally, Haneda discovered the intricate mechanics behind creating Ice Release and Scorch Release: spirals and rotation.

This principle was strikingly similar to the concept of the Rasengan, where chakra was spun and harmonized before gradually merging.

However, this process was too slow to form jutsu quickly.

Haneda suspected there were deeper, more advanced methods he had yet to grasp.

But that wasn't an immediate concern.

Haneda never expected to fully master a kekkei genkai in just a few days or weeks.

**On the southern coast of the Land of Water.**

Haneda boarded a ship and bid farewell to Pakura.

Before leaving, he instructed her:

"After leaving the Land of Water, head to the Land of Bears and find Zabuza."

"He's likely working on plans involving Hoshigakure. Your mission is to assist him."

"Help me obtain the Star from Hoshigakure, and then investigate the Dragon Vein in the Land of Wind."

"Zabuza has the funds. Don't hold back—complete this as quickly as possible."

"Preferably before I finish my training at Ryūchi Cave. Bring me the Star and find clues about the Dragon Vein."

"Yes, Haneda-san. Take care," Pakura replied respectfully.

With that, she donned a mask and boarded another ship.

Watching her depart, Haneda thought to himself:

'With a near-Kage-level Pakura joining Zabuza, things should go much more smoothly on his end.'

Recruiting Zabuza and Pakura wasn't just about gaining favorability or learning kekkei genkai—it was also about delegating tasks.

The shinobi world was vast, and Haneda's plans were numerous.

Without loyal, capable subordinates, his ultimate dream would remain unattainable.
