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

"Minato-sensei, it was actually me..."

"It's not your fault, Kakashi."

Haneda and Minato spoke at the same time.

They exchanged a glance, one holding the amulet and lost in thought, while the other sat silently beside the three children.

Moonlight fell on the faces of the four people, and silence was the atmosphere of the Kannabi Bridge tonight.

…………

Meanwhile, an underground base hidden within the blood mist.

A boy, whose body appeared to be half-bound by bandages, was lying on the bed.

This person is none other than the "dead man" at Kannabi Bridge—Uchiha Obito!

Madara, sitting high on the stone chair, quietly watched Obito.

Until Obito opened his eyes, he muttered to himself:

"Am I dead?"

"Where is...where?"

Madara propped himself up from the stone chair, slowly walked down, and came to Obito's bedside, looking at Obito as he said:

"This is the crevice between the real world and the mortal world..."

"A member of the Uchiha clan."

Madara, with his three-tomoe Sharingan eyes wide open, kept his gaze fixed on Obito.

"Those eyes... could you be a member of the Uchiha clan too?!"

"Woo~"

Obito felt the pain in his body and let out a wail.

At this moment, Madara said:

"The fact that you can feel pain means you're still alive."

"Did you save me, grandpa? Thank you," Obito said politely, sitting halfway up the bed.

Upon hearing this, Madara closed his eyes, chuckled a few times, and said, "It's too early to thank me now."

“I will definitely repay your kindness… Well, Haneda said that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude.”

"Right, I should go back to Konoha."

"Kakashi is still on the battlefield, and so is Haneda."

"They still need me, with my three-tomoe Sharingan, to protect them."

As he spoke, Obito recalled the moment the wine glasses clinked, and the dreams of himself, Rin, Haneda, and Kakashi.

"Can you still protect your comrades?" Madara's Sharingan stared at Obito.

"what happened?"

Ban, holding his cane with both hands, said:

"Your body no longer supports you as a ninja..."

"Face reality."

"The world is ultimately unpredictable."

Ban spoke with an arrogant tone, as if he had seen through the world and possessed a haughty air that set him apart from others.

Hearing this, Obito couldn't help but roar:

"Noisy!"

"I don't want to stay in this place forever!"

"Waaaaah!"

Obito tried to move his body, but the excruciating pain kept reminding him:

he can not.

At this moment, Madara also offered his advice:

"Stop it."

"In your current physical condition, neither you nor I can leave here."

Obito was completely baffled by the old man who was showing him such concern.

He asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Suddenly, Obito had a flash of inspiration and asked with a smile:

"Could you be the old man Haneda mentioned who helped the protagonist grow stronger?!"

Upon hearing this, Ban's lips twitched involuntarily.

The person I chose is indeed sunny and cheerful, and a little silly...

However, Ban had already experienced the same sunny, cheerful, and slightly silly hot mom from Haxi, and quickly returned to calm.

He sat down and slowly said:

"I am the spirit of the Uchiha clan..."

"Madara Uchiha."

"Madara? Uchiha Madara?!"

Obito, propping his head up, looked at Madara in shock, but remembering the textbook and the legend his grandmother had told him, he said dismissively,

"Bandit's long dead, isn't he? What era are you talking about? You must be joking!"

As Madara listened to Obito's words, a look of melancholy involuntarily crept into his eyes.

"I am a relic that cannot keep up with the times..."

"I am indeed someone who would die immediately and barely survive if I didn't rely on the golem behind me to supply my chakra."

"What do you want to do by grabbing a brat like me, someone who's just trying to survive?" Obito asked, puzzled.

"Sever the cause and effect in this world."

"A world with only winners, a world of peace, a world of love..."

"I want to create this world."

Hearing words even more childish than his own, Obito couldn't help but say:

"Are you out of your mind? All I want is to go back to Rin, Haneda, and Kakashi!"

"You can go back if you want, but I'll have to accept your Sharingan."

"Didn't you have the Sharingan?"

"My right eye doesn't have a Sharingan. Only when the Sharingan is complete can its full power be unleashed."

But Obito didn't care what Madara thought.

He imagined himself and Kakashi possessing complete Sharingan eyes, fighting side by side...

Doesn't that make it even stronger?

We can protect Rin and Haneda together now!!

Thinking about it this way, Obito felt even more determined not to die.

Wait!

Rin, Haneda, Kakashi!!

I will live and return to you all!!!

Chapter 160 Returning to the Village, Danzo's Difficulties

Meanwhile, at the border between the Land of Waterfalls and the Land of Earth.

The White Zetsu, possessed by Black Zetsu, stood on the cliff, gazing at the traces of the Flower Tree Realm's arrival, lost in thought.

Uchiha Haneda...

Does he possess the power of both Indra and Asura?

But Wood Release isn't so easy to awaken...

After a long while, Black Zetsu asked:

Are you sure this was caused by Uchiha Haneda?

"Hey, who else could it be but Haneda? This is where he fought Sasori."

Bai Jue laughed exaggeratedly.
