"Hidden has been a misnomer for awhile," Hana agreed. Having never heard of Ronin's forest, she didn't doubt that they actually hide and would be considerably harder to find. "We aren't plotted on maps or anything, but people have to be able to contact us if we expect revenue from missions."
Hana tilted her head in consideration, because that was not a piece of village history to which she'd paid especial attention. "I would assume that most Uchiha are related to Madara, but it's been several generations. There's no direct connection, and the Hokage is well-liked within the village." Certainly Hana liked him better than she did many of his clansmen. Shisui, she was friendly with. And Itachi, the other clan heir her age in the village, was an amicable enough acquaintance. Many Uchiha considered the Inuzuka too loud, brash, and informal, though, and the Inuzuka tended to return any disdain with negativity of their own.
The idea of someone knowing the Sandaime as a child but seeming this young continued to be something Hana had trouble wrapping her head around. "Hiruzen is an old man now. Still strong, but his age shows."
