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

"Finally a mission, Professor Sakumo! I've been cooped up in the camp for almost half a month, my body is practically rusting!"

Hearing this, Sakumo smiled, pulled a document from the table, and said:

"There is indeed an important task for you, concerning the rear hospitals."

"You all know about Tsunade's hemophobia, right?"

Haneda naturally understood and nodded, saying:

"Uncle Sakumo, are you worried that the Sunagakure raiding force will attack the hospitals in the rear?"

Sakumo gave Haneda an approving look and smiled:

"Thanks to Haneda for persuading Tsunade, the situation on the battlefield is now very clear, both on the Land of Rivers and on the Land of Rain."

"Sunagakure suffered heavy losses and achieved little success. Coupled with the stalemate on the battlefield and the casualty ratio, Sunagakure can only launch one large-scale war at most before it will inevitably weaken."

"Chiyo also had to consider signing a peace treaty with Konoha to recuperate and rebuild, and the war between Sunagakure and Konoha was about to come to an end."

"This means that Sunagakure is likely to launch a final counterattack."

Sakumo paused, waiting for Haneda and the others to process the information.

After a few seconds, he continued:

"According to intelligence from the Anbu and Root, Sunagakure seems to be planning a surprise attack on the hospital in the rear."

"That's why I arranged for you to go to the rear hospital."

"It's mainly to protect Tsunade, as well as the medical ninjas behind her."

Protect Tsunade?

Haneda's lips twitched as he thought of Tsunade, who could destroy an entire house with a single punch.

With Tsunade's strength, why would she need protection?

Even with hemophobia, Tsunade, relying on her past combat experience, could fight with her eyes closed and still be at least half a Kage level, right?

Haneda secretly guessed that the mission Uncle Sakumo had arranged this time was probably to protect him and Asuma and the others.

If Sunagakure wants to launch a surprise attack on the rear, it either needs to borrow a route from the Land of Earth or hold off Konoha on the main battlefield.

Otherwise, Sunagakure would only resort to assassination, not sending troops to launch a surprise attack.

It was clear that Sakumo did not want his students to participate in the intense frontal battles.

Haneda had no reason to refuse Sakumo's kindness, so he nodded and said:

"Okay. I will protect Lady Tsunade with Asuma and Kurenai."

"Uncle Sakumo... take care too."

Sakumo understood the meaning behind Haneda's "Take care," and he smiled and said:

"Unless the war is completely lost, the commander-in-chief cannot die."

…………

The rear hospital in the Land of Rivers battlefield is not far from the front lines; at the speed of a Chunin, it would only take one or two hours to reach the rear.

Haneda's team, which received the mission in the morning, arrived at the hospital at noon.

Haneda took out the mission scroll signed by Sakumo and related identification documents and handed them to the ninja at the door for inspection.

After the examination, I went to the hospital.

The hospital in the rear was different from the command post; it was very clean and showed no signs of fighting.

They didn't live in tents that could be carried around on the front lines, but rather in wooden or brick houses.

The hospital still retains some aesthetically pleasing trees and flowers.

Haneda led his men straight toward Tsunade's office.

As soon as he entered the corridor, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, which sounded a lot like Obito's.

Haneda quickened his pace and entered the office, where he indeed saw Obito, Minato, Kakashi, and the others.

"Yo! Haneda, you're here too!"

"Long time no see, Haneda."

As soon as Obito and Kakashi saw Haneda, they couldn't help but go up and greet him.

It's been almost two months since they last saw each other after the Chunin Exams.

"Long time no see, Obito, Kakashi."

Haneda smiled in response, then, noticing Tsunade and Minato looking over, he asked with a smile,

"You're not here to protect Lady Tsunade either, are you?"

"How did you know, Haneda?!"

Obito looked at Haneda with a surprised expression.

He clearly remembered that Minato-sensei had said this was a top-secret mission and that he wouldn't tell anyone!

Asuma stepped through the doorway: "Naturally, it's because Brother Haneda is exceptionally intelligent and has uncanny foresight!"

Upon seeing Asuma, Obito couldn't help but point at him and say:

"It's you again? Hmph, Haneda's number one brainless fan."

"Who are you? My name is Sarutobi Asuma! My comrade-in-arms and classmate of Haneda-nii for many years!!"

"Tch~ He's just a brainless fan of Haneda, all talk and no action," Obito scoffed.

“Alright, bottom of the pack. Haneda should have received the same mission as us,” Kakashi said with his dead fish eyes.

"How did you know that, you idiot Kakashi?" Obito asked curiously.

“也”.

"What is the word 'also'?"

"You brats, shut up! This is my office!!"

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table, shattering it instantly.

She really couldn't take it anymore. She was a dignified Sannin, why did she need a few brats to protect her!

Especially those two Uchiha brats, one is eloquent, and the other dares to call me Aunt Tsunade!!

Minato scratched the back of his head and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry to have bothered you, Tsunade-senpai."

"You be quiet too!"

"Huh?" Minato remembered Jiraiya's tragic experience and consciously shut his mouth.

It was Haneda who spoke up at this moment:

"Lady Tsunade, this is the mission scroll issued by Sakumo-sensei. Please sign it."

Tsunade took Haneda's mission scroll, and her lips twitched as she looked at the blank space on the scroll that indicated the mission was complete.

The task hasn't even been done yet, and they're already thinking of just going through the motions.

He truly is a born evil Uchiha brat!

Tsunade threw the mission scroll back, saying:

"Don't you know medical ninjutsu? Why don't you come with Rin to the Third Medical Ward to take care of the patients!"

"So that you won't be thinking about doing nothing productive all the time, you little rascal."

"What about me, Aunt Tsunade?!" Obito asked excitedly.

"You and that brat Haneda get out of here and become nurses in the Third Medical Ward!!" Tsunade gritted her teeth.

"Yay! Finally, I can get away from that idiot Kakashi and be with Rin and Haneda!" Obito exclaimed, waving his arms and legs.

Seeing this, Tsunade frowned and quickly added, "Kakashi, come along too."

"Ah? No, Aunt Tsunade!!"

"You brat, I've put up with you for far too long!!!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!

When they left the office, Obito had three big bags on his head, and his smiling face was now on Haneda and Kakashi.

Obito muttered to himself, "Just like Kushina, she's a violent woman!"

"No wonder she's over thirty and still can't find a man..."

Suddenly, a strong killing intent came from behind.

Obito turned around, and there was Tsunade!

He was so frightened that he quickly changed his story:

"Tsunade, auntie, is young, beautiful, and strong. Finding a boyfriend would be a piece of cake for her."

Haneda knew that Obito had truly touched Tsunade's sore spot, and quickly spoke up:

"Ahem, Lady Tsunade, children speak without thinking, and ignorance is bliss."
