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

Upon hearing the name "Runtu," Obito immediately became excited.

He pointed at Kai and shouted:

"You stinky watermelon head, my name is Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Obito! How many times have I said it?!"

"OK! Runtu!" Kai gave a thumbs up, revealing his bright teeth.

His gaze fell on Haneda again, finally settling on Kakashi.

"Accept the challenge of my youth, Kakashi!!"

"Only by defeating you can I take on Haneda's next challenge!!"

“I refuse. This isn’t the right place.” Kakashi shook his head.

The memorial site was supposed to be a solemn occasion, but Kai's antics turned a mourning session into a comedy...

Originally, he wanted to hear Haneda's opinion on ninjas.

"Ugh! Damn it! Kakashi rejected me today as expected. Is it because I haven't tried hard enough?" Guy wondered to himself.

"It's because you weren't smart enough and chose the wrong time," Orochimaru said, frowning.

“Orochimaru-sensei! I know I’m not smart enough, but hard work can make up for everything,” Kai retorted.

Orochimaru had just started to say something, but anticipating Guy's youthful response, he fell silent.

He doesn't argue with people who are a bit slow or idiotic.

"Your student is quite lively and cheerful, Orochimaru," Sakumo said with a smile.

“Perhaps, he is very similar to some of my old friends.” Orochimaru did not refute this.

His feelings for Kai were complicated.

Kai's personality is very similar to Jiraiya when he was young, as well as Nawaki, one of his former disciples.

They're all pathetically stupid.

Always challenge those seemingly impossible peaks.

For example, Jiraiya tried to surpass himself and win Tsunade's heart, while Nawaki wanted to become Hokage.

Just like Kaiya now, he is trying to defeat Kakashi Hatake and Haneda Uchiha.

Orochimaru was suddenly struck by a thought:

"So what is the meaning of life? Is it just being used from birth to death?"

Haneda noticed Orochimaru's constant staring at his Sharingan, and a mischievous glint appeared in his eye. He chuckled.

"Pointless."

"But if you survive, you might find something interesting."

"Just like you met me, and I met you."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru recalled Jiraiya, Nawaki, and Guy, paused for a moment in thought, and then laughed:

"Haneda-kun is quite an interesting person."

Orochimaru looked up at the sky and thought to himself:

"Perhaps the meaning of life is to meet some interesting people."

At this time, Danzo, who was still dealing with official business at the Root Base, received "good news" from the Third Hokage.

Because of Haneda and Kakashi's outstanding performance on the battlefield, the Third Hokage considered having Haneda and Kakashi join the Anbu.

Danzo knew perfectly well what his old friend was up to.

It's just that Haneda and Kakashi made great contributions, and they wanted to reward them with something, but they couldn't come up with anything substantial.

After all, Haneda had already read the Book of Seals.

Then, Hiruzen suddenly remembered that the Uchiha clan was actively trying to integrate into the village.

Want to get involved in village affairs?

Then let's reward them with the title of Anbu!

Coincidentally, his old friend saw that Haneda was becoming more and more outstanding and his achievements were growing, so he thought of winning Haneda over.

Moreover, there was no loss in letting Haneda and Kakashi join the Anbu; in fact, we gained two promising talents.

But Danzo believed that such a sure-fire way to make money was the most foolish thing ever!

The Anbu is involved in many of the village's secrets, and there was originally an Uchiha who worked as a spy in the Anbu.

One more thing, will the village still have any secrets from the Uchiha?

"Hmph! Stupid!"

"I knew you'd regret your decision sooner or later, Hiruzen!"

Danzo began to think of a solution, but then he remembered Haneda's great achievements and Tsunade's identity.

If he deliberately tries to stop him, it will actually be detrimental to Hiruzen's position as Hokage.

After all, so many people died in the war between Konoha and Sunagakure, and the village was already dissatisfied with Hiruzen.

If they further provoke the Uchiha clan behind Haneda, Sakumo, Dai, Minato, Kushina, Tsunade...

Why are there more and more enemies?

Chapter 140 Guiding Obito's Training

It was afternoon, nearing dusk.

After leaving the memorial monument, Haneda and Obito returned to the Uchiha clan's territory together.

Passing by a ninja tool shop, I happened to run into Fugaku and the clan leader.

Fugaku sensed a familiar gaze and turned around.

Upon seeing that it was Haneda and Obito, he smiled and said:

"Haneda, it's been a long time!"

Fugaku walked over and said again:

"I heard you captured Rasa of Sunagakure in the Land of Rivers. Not bad."

"You seem to be using Lightning Release, right? Kirin, isn't it?"

Upon hearing someone praise Haneda, Obito immediately exclaimed excitedly:

"That's right, Haneda defeated the enemy with a single S-rank ninjutsu, Kirin!"

"At that moment, the people of Sunagakure were stunned and fled in terror!"

"I heard from Minato-sensei that if Haneda's side hadn't won such a great victory, Sunagakure wouldn't have ended the war so quickly!"

Obito didn't mention a word to Kakashi and attributed all the credit to Haneda.

This version was somewhat different from what Fugaku had heard, but knowing that Obito and Haneda had a good relationship, he began to have doubts.

Could it be that Haneda fought Rasa alone and achieved the final victory?

The Third Hokage forced Kakashi to gain credit in order to suppress Haneda's reputation.

Fugaku, thinking about how much Haneda had improved, said happily:

"Is that so, Haneda?"

"I didn't expect you to be this strong? I've fought against Luo Sha before, and his gold dust is troublesome."

Haneda smiled and said:

"It's alright. Kakashi and I teamed up to defeat them."

"This is all thanks to his Purple Lightning. Ordinary Lightning Release techniques are not very lethal and are difficult to break through Rasa's defenses."

"By the way, Uncle Chief, wasn't he with you?"

“Father…he went to the hospital to visit Mikoto.”

Fugaku, recalling his father's noticeable decrease in attention towards him recently, couldn't help but say...

“He didn’t go to the mourning this time either; he’s practically handed everything over to me.”

As Haneda listened to Fugaku's words, he sensed that Fugaku seemed to harbor some resentment.

However, that's how it is with grandparents and grandchildren, especially since the clan chief already intends to groom Fugaku to become a qualified clan chief.

Haneda smiled and said:

"It's good that the clan chief is taking care of Mikoto-neechan. It's better than her being alone in the hospital."

Fugaku felt guilty, realizing that he hadn't spent time with Mikoto for several months.

“You’re right, Haneda. Father is probably afraid that Mikoto will blame me…”
