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

"He looks fine now, so he shouldn't be in any danger, and he doesn't show any signs of a cold," Xiao Nan said with a smile.

"That's good." Yahiko noticed the headband on Konan's hand and asked again.

"By the way, he should be a ninja from Konoha, right?"

"Yes, Yahiko. He seems to know Jiraiya-sensei."

"Jiraiya-sensei? How is he doing now? Is he doing alright?"

"He said he was teaching students and writing books; he seemed to have a lot of free time."

……

Konan and Yahiko chatted, while Nagato listened the whole time without saying a word.

However, the smile on his face made Haneda realize that Nagato was enjoying this time.

As they chatted, the topic of Haneda came up again.

"Oh right, I haven't remembered to ask your name yet. My name is Yahiko, a ninja from Amegakure."

"Haneda, a Konoha genin." Haneda was infected by Yahiko's smile, and a smile appeared on his face.

But the smile quickly faded.

"Another pitiful fellow wounded by war," Yahiko remarked, noticing the somber look on Haneda's face.

"I heard that Sunagakure wanted to form an alliance with our village, but thankfully Lord Hanzo refused," Konan said.

"Sigh~ But Sunagakure is clearly trying to start a war by doing this. Konoha's people are now stationed on the border of the Land of Rain, facing Sunagakure."

"If war breaks out, this place could become a battlefield."

At this point, Yahiko couldn't help but slam his fist on the table.

"Damn it, one day we will achieve peace in the ninja world!"

"Yes, I believe in you, Yahiko."

“Me too,” Nagato, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the house. It was a ninja wearing a Rainbow headband.

He ran in, grabbed the door, and shouted into the room:

"Yahiko, Konan, another vicious attack by ninjas has occurred in Kawahara-ishi Village!"

"Looks like we'll have to go out again. Konan, Nagato, let's go."

After Yahiko finished speaking, he had only taken a few steps when he suddenly realized there was still someone inside. He turned around, scratching the back of his head awkwardly, and said:

"Haha...I almost forgot about you, Haneda."

"Okay. You can stay inside and rest for now. If you get hungry, there's bread on the table, don't be shy."

"Okay." Haneda nodded; he had no intention of talking to Yahiko and the others any longer.

Take advantage of this opportunity to be alone and do something.

rustling...

The footsteps gradually faded away.

Haneda got out of bed, his weak body meaning his chakra had only recovered to 30%.

But enough is enough.

Hai, Xu, You, Shen, Wei.

"Psychic art!"

He quickly formed five hand seals, bit his finger to get some blood, and then pressed his palm to the ground.

A yellow-orange cat was summoned by a spirit.

“You look disheveled, Haneda,” the orange cat said.

"He was injured and was just pulled out of the river."

Haneda gave a brief explanation, then picked up a pen and paper from the table, wrote something down, folded it, and handed it to Kiku.

"Please deliver this information to the Uchiha clan for me, thank you. I'll buy you a can of dried fish when I get back."

"Really? Then I won't be polite!" Xiaoju's eyes lit up, and she immediately bit the folded paper with her teeth.

Haneda then released the summoning spell.

After finishing his business, he stared blankly at the empty room, momentarily lost in thought.

After a while, Haneda came to his senses, walked to the dining table, picked up a piece of bread, and began to eat it bite by bite.

He recalled Uncle Shuo Mao once again.

"Facing Sasori and Kakuzu, two Kage-level powerhouses... Uncle Sakumo, with your swordsmanship, you should be able to win, right?"

Haneda had a vague idea of ​​the answer, but he still held onto a sliver of hope.

Until Xiaoju's reply arrives, he will continue to believe that the man who stood in front of him will survive.

As for Kiku's arrival time in Konoha, it will be at the earliest tonight, and at the latest tomorrow morning.

After finishing the bread in his hand, Haneda felt even hungrier.

He ate a few more pieces of bread and used fire-style cooking to roast a large fish, which finally relieved his hunger.

The feeling of fullness warmed his stomach, and the Sage Body began to work, rapidly restoring Haneda's body and chakra.

"It should take about a day to fully recover, right?"

Haneda thought uncertainly, glancing out the window.

The heavy rain continued to pour down, with large raindrops hitting the eaves with a dull thud.

"What's the point of rushing back?"

"Uncle Shuo Mao's life or death will not change because I go back."

"Besides... my being here must have been arranged by Madara and Black Zetsu."

"Why don't we go along with their wishes for a while and try to make contact with Nagato and the others?"

"If we can gain their favor, that would be even better."

Haneda sat back up on the bed, looking out the window at the seemingly endless downpour.

Chapter 093 Helping Yahiko, Receiving News

night.

Yahiko and the other two returned here.

Yahiko's face was a little bruised, as if he had been punched.

Konan and Nagato were not injured.

“If you don’t fight back, you’ll get hurt every time, Yahiko,” Konan said with concern.

"It's alright, a man can take a beating. Have you forgotten how we used to get beaten for stealing? This isn't as painful as it was back then," Yahiko said with a nonchalant smile.

His pained expression, coupled with his stubbornness, was rather comical.

Nagato, who was silently following behind, couldn't help but smile.

The three pushed open the door to the house, where Haneda was sitting inside, waiting for them.

"You seem to be in good spirits, Haneda."

Yahiko greeted him very familiarly.

"It's alright." Haneda noticed the injury on Yahiko's face and asked with a smile, "You're injured, do you need me to heal you?"

"You know medical ninjutsu?" Yahiko exclaimed in surprise.

Medical ninjas are very rare. Almost no one in Amegakure knows medical ninjutsu, and only the five great nations have professional training in it.

In this field, Konoha is far ahead.

Small countries are generally like this. For example, Kusagakure uses Karin as a mobile blood bank, which shows how valuable medical ninjas are.

Is that so strange?

Haneda stretched out his hand, and pale green chakra condensed in it, emanating a warm sensation.

"That's amazing, I didn't expect you to know these things." Yahiko touched his face, and the pain from before was completely gone.

He took out the mirror again and looked at himself, finding that his handsome face had returned to normal.

"Is this medical ninjutsu? It's amazing!" Yahiko exclaimed.

Xiao Nan felt a little embarrassed, so she turned her head away and pretended not to see it.

Nagato looked with great interest at Haneda's hand as he performed medical ninjutsu.

He really wanted to learn this technique so he could help Yahiko heal his injuries.
