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

Sasori left Asuma and Obito aside, then turned to Haneda, who looked cautious, and said...

There are no traps here.

"I injected both of them with a lethal poison, which lasted for about half an hour."

“I will kill you honorably and prove my art.”

Haneda frowned slightly and said, "You are very arrogant."

"Just like you did before."

Sasori took out a scroll, and the Third Kazekage puppet appeared.

Then, countless iron sands rushed towards Haneda.

Haneda ran quickly, trying to bypass Sasori and take Obito and Asuma with him.

But Sasori gave him no chance, summoning more than ten puppets to completely confine Haneda to the front.

If Haneda wants to save Obito and Asuma, he has to defeat Sasori first.

Haneda understood this perfectly well.

He drew his short sword, and the cry of a thousand birds rang out. He swung the sword down, cutting down the iron sand.

At the same time, he was now closer to the scorpion.

Scorpion smiled as he watched Haneda's rapidly moving figure, then flicked his finger.

The Third Kazekage Puppet unleashed the Sand Iron World Technique, using large, long spikes formed from sand iron to block Haneda's advance.

Seeing this, Haneda unleashed the Chidori Blade once more.

However, the Chidori Blade did not sever the long spike when it struck it.

Instead, Haneda was forced to retreat more than ten steps to avoid being trapped by the Sand Iron Boundary Law.

At this moment, Sasori sneered, "After the last battle, I learned from my lack of mastery of Magnet Release."

"Now, you will face the true Third Kazekage!"

Haneda sensed the aura emanating from the Third Kazekage puppet, and his expression turned serious.

After the last battle, Scorpion has become stronger!

Thinking of this, Haneda looked up at the sky.

The moon still hung high in the sky, without a cloud in sight.

The moonlight shone on the sword, illuminating Haneda's youthful face.

At this moment, Scorpion's new offensive was formed.

He didn't intend to give Haneda too much time to react.

In his estimation, it would only take him fifteen minutes to deal with Haneda in his current state.

"Magnetic Release - Iron Sand Rain!"

Iron sand rained down on Haneda like raindrops, while at the same time, the puppet controlled by Sasori spat out countless hidden weapons.

For a moment, Haneda had no way to dodge.

He quickly formed a hand seal and pressed his palm down, creating a wall of earth that blocked the scorpion's attack.

At that moment, Haneda used Earth Release to quickly traverse underground.

But Sasori had already figured out Haneda's tactics.

He manipulated the Third Kazekage puppet to use Magnet Release, forcing Haneda, who was hiding underground, to come out.

“I won’t fall into the same trap twice.”

Scorpion glanced indifferently at Haneda and continued,

"You probably don't have much chakra left, right?"

"After the battle with Rasa, no matter how much chakra you have, you can no longer use large-scale ninjutsu."

"In this state, how should you deal with the iron sand?"

After speaking, Scorpion waved his hands, as elegantly as if playing a piece of music.

The puppet behind him began to move in response to the chakra threads on its fingers.

Iron sand rolled toward Haneda like waves, and several puppets followed, surrounding him completely.

"It's time to finish."

"Scorpion said eagerly."

He looked at Haneda's body as if it were a work of art.

"Become eternal beauty, Uchiha Haneda!"

"In the near future, your teacher, Sakumo, will always be with you!"

The Third Kazekage puppet moved in response to Sasori's voice, unleashing the Sand Iron Burial.

As if sensing something, Haneda looked up at the sky and smiled:

“You’re right, I do have very little chakra left, but… the wind is picking up.”

"What does this mean?" Scorpion looked up at the sky in confusion, only to see a strong wind blowing from the direction they had come from.

The waning moon was completely obscured by dark clouds, and the earth was no longer illuminated by moonlight, but by lightning.

"Water escape—who built the dam?!"

Haneda quickly formed hand seals and spat out a huge stream of water, soaking the iron sand that was crashing down like ocean waves.

Meanwhile, the puppet controlled by Scorpion was also blocked by the floodwater.

Haneda stood atop a water-based escape technique that covered an entire forest, pointing his finger at the sky.

White lightning formed in Haneda's raised right hand, and a slug crawled out of Haneda's clothes.

Scorpion immediately sensed something was wrong.

He recalled the Third Kazekage puppet, ready to deal with the ninjutsu that Haneda was about to unleash.

"This is the wind blown by the Konoha ninja, which brought the jutsu I prepared earlier with me."

"This move was originally intended to deal with Rasa. Since you've happened to be here, then welcome the power of nature."

"This move is called Qilin!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a colossal beast formed entirely of lightning appeared in the sky.

That was a Kirin formed by a high-speed current, visible only to the Sharingan with three tomoe!

"Ghana!!"

After speaking, the Qilin descended from the sky and arrived above the Scorpion in almost an instant.

Time seemed to slow down infinitely at this moment. As Scorpion looked at the Qilin, an unbelievable thought flashed through his mind.

Haneda's art surpasses his!

"No! Timeless art is true art!"

"I will not fall until my enemy is dead!!"

Sasori faced the roaring Kirin and swung his chakra threads.

It is a hill formed entirely of iron sand.

He tried to withstand the power of nature!

Boom! ! !

Explosions, collapses, thunder...

The cacophony completely drowned out everything around them.

Haneda remained standing on the water sphere, quietly observing everything before him.

"Escaped?"

"Lightning is conducted through the ground... but you must be seriously injured."

Haneda looked at the abandoned puppet and the disheveled figure of Scorpion fleeing, and his back finally gave way, causing him to collapse from the water.

Just then, Kakashi arrived.

He caught Haneda as he fell and picked him up.

"Kakashi, I, who bear the name of the Uchiha, cannot lose."

"Yeah. I believe you."

The moonlight illuminated the earth once more, and Tsunade led the Konoha ninja to their arrival.

Haneda watched as Obito and Asuma were healed by Tsunade, and he felt relieved before falling unconscious.
