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

Asuma and Tsunade didn't have much to talk about, while his sweetheart, Kurenai, was chatting with Shizune.

So he sat down next to Haneda and kept staring at Tsunade in front of him.

When the wine and snacks were served, Tsunade grabbed a bottle of wine and started drinking it in big gulps.

Having enjoyed their drinks, Tsunade handed Haneda a bottle of fine wine, smiling as she said:

"Kid, come to think of it, the smell on you is even more familiar than it was a few months ago."

You should know who I'm talking about, right?

"Tsunade-sama's younger brother?" Haneda asked instinctively.

"No, it's my grandfather."

Tsunade took a big gulp and exhaled a breath of alcohol.

She wiped her lips and continued:

"You want me to go to the Land of Rivers or the Land of Rain, right?"

"Although Konoha was founded by my grandfather, it doesn't matter now."

"Konoha will defeat Sunagakure; it's just a matter of how many casualties there will be."

Asma couldn't help but ask loudly:

"What's the issue of more or less?! Those are living, breathing human lives, they are our comrades!!"

"You brat from the old man's family, ha~ you're still as impulsive as ever," Tsunade mocked.

Seeing that Asuma clearly wanted to say something more, Tsunade continued:

"I have healed many people, the companions you mentioned. There must be tens of thousands of them, right?"

"A hero like me, what right do you, a mere genin, have to yell at me?"

After he finished speaking, Asma was speechless. He was filled with anger and wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.

He was furious, then looked at Haneda.

"What you despise is not Konoha, but those hypocritical high-ranking officials in Konoha."

"Like the current Hokage, or Danzo, the rat hiding in the stinking ditch?"

Haneda pushed back the drink Tsunade had offered him earlier. Looking at Tsunade's complex expression, he said again...

"I've heard about Lady Tsunade's deeds."

"Your younger brother, Nawaki, died in the Second Shinobi World War, as did your lover, Dan Kato."

"Ultimately, it's nothing more than Hanzo the Salamander of Amegakure being dissatisfied with the rule of the Five Great Nations, and Konoha not wanting to see Amegakure rise."

"And so, the Third Hokage, Shimura Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura, these Konoha high-ranking officials tacitly launched the war."

"And isn't this the real culprit that caused your brother and lover to die on the battlefield?"

"Lady Tsunade, you only despise the higher-ups of Konoha."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade reacted as if her sore spot had been touched, slamming her hand on the table and standing up.

"enough!"

"What do you know, you little brat?"

"Do you know who the current Hokage is to me?"

Do you even realize how much trouble your words will cause you if they get out?

Haneda, not to be outdone, stood up, activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, stared into Tsunade's eyes, and said:

"The Third Hokage was your teacher, and he was the student of your Second Hokage, who was also your great-grandfather, Lord Tobirama."

"Isn't this a close enough relationship?"

"Lady Tsunade, you watched helplessly as your teacher condoned the inherently evil Danzo after the Second Shinobi World War. It must have been painful for you, right?"

"You feel pain in your heart as you watch the leaves decay and decline day by day, don't you?"

"You feel pain when you think about those who died in the war, those who were once saved but died again, right?"

Haneda asked questions again and again, and Tsunade tried to refute them again and again, but in the end she had nothing to say.

She sat down unconsciously, and even her previously aggressive gaze, which had been locked with Haneda, lowered.

Before Tsunade could react, Haneda continued:

"As a result, you developed hemophobia and were unwilling to stay in Konoha or serve your teacher."

"Day by day, I indulge in gambling, wasting my time, and using it to reminisce about the past, those happy, beautiful, and blissful times."

"But can these things bring about change for you? Can they bring about change for the village your grandfather founded?"

"You should have a general idea of ​​how many people will die in this war between Sunagakure and Konoha, right?"

"You should know what percentage of Konoha ninja died from Sunagakure's deadly poison, right?"

"Those who died in the war, their relatives and loved ones, they will live in pain just like you, just like you, Tsunade!"

"And you, Tsunade, have the ability to change all of this, yet you do nothing!"

"Just sit in the casino, sit in the tavern, gamble, drink, and drown your sorrows!!"

Tsunade was completely stung by Haneda's words, and her composure crumbled.

She slammed her hand on the table, and it broke completely; the force even cracked the floorboards.

"Enough! You brat!!"

"What right do you have to lecture me!"

"Jirai wouldn't dare, Orochimaru wouldn't dare, your teacher Sakumo wouldn't dare! And this old man certainly wouldn't dare!!"

"Based on the orders I bear from Sakumo Hatake, the commander-in-chief of the battlefield in the Land of Rivers, and the hopes of the thousands of Konoha ninja there!"

Haneda's three-tomoe Sharingan remained fixed on Tsunade.

He did not show any sign of being overwhelmed by Tsunade's aura.

Haneda handed the mission scroll that Sakumo had given him to Tsunade and asked earnestly:

Should we accept this mission?

Seeing that Tsunade had not responded for a long time, Haneda threw the mission scroll in front of Tsunade and turned to leave.

He took a few steps, then turned back and said coldly:

"If you are dissatisfied with the world, change it instead of running away or complaining."

“Go, Asma, Red.”

Asuma looked at the distraught Tsunade and mocked:

"Even the legendary Sannin, Lady Tsunade, is nothing special, not even close to Brother Haneda."

Asuma then followed Haneda and left the tavern.

Tsunade stared at Haneda's retreating figure, momentarily lost in thought.

She saw her grandfather's shadow in Haneda.

Chapter 128 Tsunade Returns

Back at the hot spring inn, Haneda continued to relax in the hot spring.

It must be said that the hot springs in the Land of Hot Springs are indeed very comfortable; no wonder Tsunade has visited this place many times.

Asuma, who had brought back food from outside, saw Haneda lying there very comfortably and couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Haneda, are you going back tomorrow, or staying here?"

"Wait three days. If Tsunade doesn't come looking for us in three days, we'll go back on the fourth day," Haneda said lazily.

The war between Konoha and Sunagakure has been going on for a month, and it's about to reach its climax. It's time to go back.

Haneda always felt that something bad would happen if Sakumo stayed in the land of rivers.

Madara and Black Zetsu would never let him or the people around him go just because he got away with it last time.

What's more, Sasori of the Red Sand is lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce.

Seeing Haneda so confidently state the three-day deadline, Asuma recalled the scene where Tsunade's defenses were broken by Haneda's talk-no-jutsu.

At that time, Tsunade was definitely persuaded by Haneda, and now she is probably hesitating and making an inner choice.

Asuma thought to himself, "As expected of Haneda-nii, he truly has foresight!"

Suddenly, a slightly familiar voice rang out from outside the door.

"Uchiha brat! You made me pay the shopkeeper several thousand taels in compensation! Come out and pay your debts!"

"And that brat from the old man's family, daring to curse me, come out and apologize!"

Tsunade kicked the door open and, upon seeing Haneda's bare upper body, immediately slammed the door shut.
