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

Compared to Asuma, Kurenai was a bit shy and thanked Haneda a few times.

Seeing this, Obito recalled the scene of Haneda saving him and subconsciously touched his eyes.

A pair of three-tomoe Sharingan eyes were suddenly activated!

"Oh, Beato?!"

"You're the worst of the worst!"

Haneda and Kakashi looked at Obito's eyes in surprise, leaving Obito confused.

"Huh? Why are you all looking at my eyes?"

Obito asked with a puzzled look.

Suddenly, Asuma pointed at Obito's eyes and exclaimed in surprise:

"How do you have eyes just like Haneda-nii's?!"

"?!!"

Obito realized something and took off his headband.

The outline of the three-tomoe Sharingan appeared on the headband, and Obito immediately jumped up excitedly.

"You idiot Kakashi! Do you see those imposing Sharingan eyes? They're the same eyes as Haneda's!"

"So what? You're the worst student? You're not Haneda, you're just all show and no substance," Kakashi retorted defiantly.

He would never admit to being a loser with Sharingan.

Even though that loser has gradually progressed to the third tomoe!

But Kakashi would still look disdainful!

"Congratulations, Obito," Haneda said with a smile.

He vaguely guessed why Obito had awakened his Sharingan; it was a complex emotional fluctuation.

If I had to sum it up in two words, it would probably be "bond."

It's like Madara and Hasi Hot Mom breaking up by the river, or Sasgei and Naruto breaking up in the Valley of the End.

Obito straightened his back after hearing Haneda's congratulations.

He clasped his hands together and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha! You idiot Kakashi!"

"I, Obito Uchiha, have said it before! Fortune changes every thirty years, so never underestimate a young man's potential!"

“Shut up, ‘bottom of the class,’ that’s what Haneda called,” Kakashi corrected.

"Hmph, can't I quote it?"

……

Haneda watched the two start arguing again and rubbed his temples in exasperation.

Oh well, let them argue, they're not going to actually fight anyway...

Haneda ate his rice ball while watching the live broadcast with great interest.

Chapter 138 Gambling

At the end of Konoha 47, Sunagakure announced a ceasefire and began negotiations with Konoha.

Soon after, the Third Hokage and Chiyo, as representatives of Konoha and Sunagakure respectively, held formal peace talks in the Land of Iron and signed a peace agreement.

Thus, the war between Sunagakure and Konoha came to an end.

In the Land of Rivers and the Land of Rain, large numbers of Konoha ninja returned to their villages, bringing a brief period of peace to the ninja world.

"Finally back."

Asma looked at the village entrance, unable to hide his excitement.

Haneda, who was following behind Sakumo, smiled slightly as he looked at the village entrance.

No matter how you look at it, this place can be considered his second hometown.

Behind Sakumo's team, the Konoha ninjas who had rushed back from the Land of Rivers followed the same pattern.

The excitement and joy of returning to the village briefly overshadowed the brutality of the war.

At the village entrance, the Third Hokage personally greeted the ninjas returning from the Land of Rivers.

Aside from the ninjas summoned by the Third Hokage, many villagers spontaneously came to watch.

The village entrance was bustling with activity for a time.

The third generation leader stood at the doorway, glanced at everyone, and then focused his gaze more on Haneda.

Last night, during his review of the war between Konoha and Sunagakure, he discovered that the person who made the greatest contribution and played the most crucial role was actually Uchiha Haneda!

It's unbelievable, but that's the reality.

Haneda twice changed the course of the war.

The reason why Konoha and Sunagakure were able to negotiate so easily was because Haneda, together with Kakashi, captured Rasa, an important figure in Sunagakure.

Otherwise, the war might have continued until the end of the year.

Moreover, Haneda brought Tsunade back, which reduced the number of casualties considerably.

"Hokage-sama."

Sakumo stepped forward and greeted him, immediately bringing the Third Hokage back to his senses.

He looked at Shuo Mao and smiled:

"Thanks to you this time, Shuo Mao. The great victory in this war is inseparable from your excellent command."

Upon hearing this, Sakumo smiled nonchalantly.

He glanced back at Haneda and the Konoha ninjas behind him, and said:

"This war was won thanks to everyone's efforts."

"Especially Haneda, if it weren't for him bringing in Tsunade, the poison in Sunagakure would have been very difficult to cure."

"Furthermore, Haneda also played a significant role in Sunagakure's final large-scale raid."

Listening to the words in his ear, the Third Hokage looked at Haneda with a very complicated expression.

Regardless of what the Uchiha clan was like, Haneda was his son's savior.

Moreover, Haneda has made great contributions.

Suddenly, the third generation leader realized something. He glanced around at the returning villagers and asked:

Where is Tsunade?

Haneda initially didn't want to engage with the Third Hokage, but Tsunade had given him instructions, so he had no choice but to step forward and say:

"Lady Tsunade has gone on a journey to travel the world and practice medicine to help the needy."

The Third Hokage's lips twitched as he listened to the story of Tsunade traveling around the village gambling.

As for Haneda's subsequent act of healing the sick and saving lives, the Third Hokage simply considered it as Haneda covering for Tsunade.

In fact, Tsunade had already returned to the village.

She's drinking with Jiraiya right now.

At this moment, in a tavern in Konoha.

Jiraiya and Tsunade sat facing each other, with fine wine and snacks laid out on the table.

If Tsunade hadn't been there, he probably would have ordered a beautiful woman to accompany him for drinks to inspire his creative work.

After taking a sip of fine wine, Jiraiya wiped his lips and asked with a smile:

"The last time I saw you, didn't you say you weren't planning to go back to the village?"

"He also said that he suffered from hemophobia and that he would be of no use on the battlefield."

Hearing this, Tsunade looked at Jiraiya speechlessly.

She had only been chatting with Jiraiya about the past when he suddenly started poking at her old wounds.

"I'd like to!" Tsunade took a sip of her drink, then, thinking of that kid Haneda, explained.

"You know that brat Haneda, right? He's Konoha's most renowned genius ninja right now."

"The ninjas of Sunagakure gave him a resounding title—Kirin Ninja."

Upon hearing Haneda's name, Jiraiya pictured Haneda and smiled:

"Haneda? Haha... You were persuaded by him, weren't you?"

"Even Minato praised this kid for his talent and wit."

"Especially the Kirin, which defeated Rasa head-on, and even that mysterious puppeteer who assassinated the Third Kazekage."
