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

Minato originally came to visit Obito.

Seeing that Haneda, Sakumo, Kakashi, the Uchiha clan head and young clan head, and even his teacher and Tsunade were there, he didn't know whether he should go over.

Kushina saw Haneda and walked up to him, saying:

"Haneda, and Obito, Kakashi, and Tsunade are all here too... Happy New Year!"

Minato also came over and said:

"It's not time yet, Kushina. But it'll be soon."

Minato noticed Haneda's new sword and the gift box on the ground, and asked with a smile:

"Is this your New Year's gift, Haneda?"

"Yes. Uncle Sakumo and Kakashi gave it to me," Haneda said.

Minato looked at Obito's expectant face, took out a sword called the Sword of Love from his pouch, and hung it on his hand.

"This is your New Year's gift, Obito."

"Let's work hard to pass the Chunin Exams in the new year!"

Minato gently handed the Sword of Love to Obito and said this.

"Yes, Minato-sensei! I guarantee you'll pass!"

Obito happily accepted Minato's gift and made a promise.

I thought everyone who came was there to visit Haneda, but it turned out that it was Minato-sensei who came to visit me.

This is finally my home!

After chatting for a while, everyone left.

Grandma watched Sakumo, Kakashi, and the others walk away, and sighed:

"So many people have come to visit Obito and Haneda!"

"Yes! There are a lot of people who like Haneda." Obito laughed, holding the Sword of Love.

"Is there anyone who likes you, little Obito?" Grandma asked with a smile.

"There probably are..."

Thinking of Rin, Obito nodded sharply, but hesitated when he spoke.

Grandma smiled happily, took out two amulets from her bosom, and said kindly:

"Here, Grandma, I got this amulet from the temple. I heard it was blessed by a high-ranking monk."

May you live in peace and safety year after year.

Chapter 144 Jonin and Chunin

Years later, it is now Konoha year 48.

As usual, Haneda would teach Obito about Fire Release techniques and train him using Shadow Clone Jutsu.

After completing the S-rank Lightning Release: Kirin, Haneda found it very difficult to further improve his Lightning Release.

To go further, the only way is through the accumulation of time.

Haneda knew that the Third Shinobi World War had not ended with the peace talks between Konoha and Sunagakure, and the situation in the ninja world was very tense.

Whether it's Konoha, Iwagakure, or Kumogakure.

This situation could erupt into conflict at any moment if a ninja goes missing, sparking a new round of war.

Although Haneda's current strength is only one step away from becoming a Kage, a Kage is still a Kage.

You don't even qualify to break free of the Madara Golem's board until you reach the Kage level.

With no hope of improving his Lightning Release, Haneda shifted his focus more towards Wood Release, swordsmanship, and Flying Thunder God Technique.

Fortunately, after the war between Konoha and Sunagakure ended, the village enjoyed a brief period of peace.

During this peaceful time, Sakumo didn't need to carry out missions, so Haneda had plenty of free time to train.

Two months later, at the Uchiha clan training grounds.

A figure wearing goggles was rapidly forming hand seals; it was Obito, who was performing a ninjutsu.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Dragon Technique!"

Obito spat out a large fireball, which shot towards the center of the lake like the head of a dragon.

The moment the flames touched the lake, a thin white mist quickly filled the surrounding area.

These are tiny water droplets that form when water evaporates and then cools down.

A figure walked over from behind Obito.

He had grown his short black hair a little longer, wore a light gray shirt, a black robe over it, and a knife at his waist.

He looks somewhat cold, but upon closer inspection, he seems sharp and ruthless.

Undoubtedly, it was Haneda who came over.

He activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, glanced at the center of the lake, and nodded approvingly.

"That fire jutsu is pretty good, Obito."

Seeing that his Fire Release technique, which he had worked so hard for, had been recognized by Haneda, Obito couldn't help but feel happy.

After humming a few times, he laughed:

"You taught me so well, Haneda."

"You've been helping me these past few months. If I don't produce results, that idiot Kakashi will definitely scold me."

Upon hearing Kakashi's name, Haneda recalled exchanging insights on Lightning Release and Flying Thunder God Technique with Kakashi a few days prior.

He smiled and said:

"Kakashi still cares about you, Obito."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that to you."

Obito thought back to the night Sasori captured him, and saw Kakashi's angry yet worried gaze as he whispered:

"maybe……"

While the two were chatting, three people came from the woods not far away.

It was Minato who brought Kakashi and Rin.

"Haneda, you're wasting your time teaching that loser again."

As soon as Kakashi arrived, he couldn't help but make a comment.

Although he said that, he was startled when he saw the white mist rising from the center of the lake.

You've made progress again...

Is Obito, the bottom-of-the-class student, really about to make a comeback?!

"Shut up, you idiot Kakashi!"

"I worked very hard during the time Haneda taught me, and I, Obito Uchiha, have made tremendous progress!"

Obito swung his fist and roared at Kakashi.

Seeing this, Haneda didn't care anymore. These two always argued whenever they met, so let them argue. They're not going to fight anyway...

Rin, seeing this, quickly grabbed Obito to prevent him from actually attacking.

"Alright, Obito~"

"Kakashi actually comes to see you secretly quite often."

After Rin finished speaking, Kakashi immediately retorted defiantly:

"I'm going to visit Haneda. Who wants to hang out with a loser? It'll lower your IQ."

As expected, Obito and Kakashi started arguing again.

Minato smiled helplessly, took out a Chunin Exams admission ticket, and smiled at Obito:

"The spots for the Chunin Exams in the first half of this year have been released, and I've registered you for them, Obito."

"The Chunin Exams!!" Upon hearing this, Obito immediately abandoned Kakashi and ran to Minato.

He held his exam admission ticket tightly in his small hand.

Her teammates Rin and Kakashi are both Chunin, as are her childhood friend Haneda, and even the watermelon-headed boy she dislikes.

Obito had been unhappy for a long time about feeling like he was the only genin.

What's more, that idiot Kakashi always uses this to mock himself!

This time, Obito Uchiha is determined to give Kakashi a good thrashing!

Seeing Obito's excited expression, Minato couldn't help but offer a reminder:
