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

"So you've been watching all along, Oh Bitto."

Obito didn't say anything, and used Kamui to disappear from the mountaintop.

Seeing that Obito was still avoiding him, Haneda smiled and turned his gaze to Zabuza, who was wary of him.

Do you know why you're being hunted by the Dark Guard?

"The people in the underground exchange leaked your information; they betrayed you."

"And Kirigakure is the same; they only see you as a rogue ninja, nothing more."

"Why would you make a sacrifice for a village like this?"

"What's it to you! Kill me if you want!" Zabuza roared.

Perhaps due to excessive emotional excitement, Zabuza coughed several times after finishing his sentence, even coughing up a mouthful of black blood.

He was poisoned.

The Hidden Mist's ANBU showed no mercy to their former comrades.

"You're going to die."

Haneda approached Zabuza, who was lying helplessly on the ground, struggling to strike Haneda.

But weakened, he collapsed helplessly to the ground.

"After you die, the village you care about will celebrate the death of this rogue ninja."

"And the goal you are striving for will also stop moving forward."

Haneda crouched down, looked into Zabuza's eyes, and continued.

"I once heard my nephew say that people only truly see themselves at the last moment."

And what kind of person are you?

Haneda planted the guillotine in front of Zabuza's eyes.

"When I was a Kirigakure, I had to kill my comrades; when I was a rogue ninja, I had no choice but to kill my comrades again."

"Therefore you attempted a coup, to change the village."

"You thus raise funds and make a comeback."

"But what can you change in the end? Even if you succeed, it will only overturn the Blood Mist policy; the ninjas will still be tools."

"But the essence of ninjas remains unchanged. Mist ninjas still have to kill their comrades according to the rules, just like the first half of your life."

Zabuza raised his eyes and stared intently at Haneda.

Every word Haneda spoke felt like a needle piercing his heart.

He felt life slipping away, and death approaching.

And the goal he was striving for was gradually fading away.

Because of the ninja essence that Haneda spoke of, the goal they fought for disappeared into the end.

"Join me, follow me."

"I will change the ninja system and reform the entire world."

Haneda Asahi reached out to Zabuza.

Zabuza stared at the sun pattern that gradually widened in Haneda's pupils.

At that moment, light pierced through the thick fog that enveloped the village and reached his face and eyes.

"it is good."

Zabuza said subconsciously.

…………

On the other side of Kirigakure, the Kaguya clan's coup ended with Kirigakure's suppression.

Kimimaro looked at the dead members of his clan in the valley; not a single one remained.

The clan's territory was also burned down by a great fire ignited by a fog.

The prison that held him was also destroyed.

Everything and everyone that recorded his past vanished in the coup.

Kimimaro was completely orphaned.

They had no parents, nor any relatives.

No one needs him anymore, and no one cares about him anymore.

In a daze, Kimimaro walked to an inconspicuous corner.

He squatted down, hugged his legs, and lowered his head.

At that moment, a flower quietly bloomed in front of him.

The flowers were so bright, radiating unparalleled beauty.

Kimimaro stared at the blooming flowers, momentarily lost in thought.

Suddenly, he raised his bone knife, ready to chop off the flowers in front of him.

"What's the point of blooming in such a remote place, where no one appreciates it and no one cares about it!"

A hand grasped the small hand that was wielding the knife, and at the same time a gentle voice sounded in his ear.

"The flower has meaning because you see it."

"Just like I found you."

A warm hand stroked Kimimaro's cheek, and Kimimaro looked at Haneda in front of him with a slight blush.

"If you can't find the meaning of your existence, then I'll give you one for now."

Haneda looked down at the blooming flowers and smiled.

"Just as this flower blooms for you, bloom briefly for me as well."

"Okay," Kimimaro said, his face flushed.

When a beautiful child came up to Haneda and even ruffled the child's hair, Kimimaro's eyes instantly became wary.

"My name is Bai, nice to meet you," Bai greeted Kimimaro gently.

Seeing this, Kimimaro snorted coldly and said, "Kaguya Kimimaro."

…………

After saving Zabuza, Haneda assigned Zabuza a mission.

They will be hidden in the black market of the Misty Hidden Realm.

Whether it was for personal revenge or to eradicate evil from the village, Zabuza carried out this mission with unwavering determination.

Of course, he also received some unexpected news.

That's why he was discovered and hunted down by the Hidden Mist Village – it turned out that Haneda spent ten million to have the black market leak the information.

But Haneda sent him to work on the black market!

This made Zabuza feel Haneda's trust, and he respected Haneda even more.

But what Zabuza didn't know was that the Flying Thunder God Mark had already been implanted in his body.

If Zabuza ever betrays Haneda or leaves on his own, Haneda will instantly appear beside Zabuza and kill him to prevent future troubles.

In short, the reform plan revealed by Haneda must not be leaked.

Even if Zabuza only knows a small part of it.

Zabuza, carrying the Executioner's Blade that had been repaired after absorbing blood, returned to the cave where Haneda was hiding.

Inside the cave, Haneda was grilling meat over a fire.

There were two infants beside him, crying for food.

One was Haku, whom Zabuza had met before, and the other was a white-haired boy who vaguely exuded murderous intent.

"Mr. Haneda, I have completed the task you entrusted to me."

Zabuza laid down the body of the black market boss.

At the same time, tear open a sealed scroll.

One by one, suitcases filled with banknotes fell to the ground.

Haneda picked up the briefcase containing ten million yen in cash that he had previously given to the black market and sealed it in a scroll.

Haneda explained:

"You can put the rest away yourself."

"I will be going to Ryuchi Cave to train next, and you will also have a new mission."

"Ryuchi Cave?" Zabuza, as an elite member of Kirigakure, naturally knew what Ryuchi Cave was.

Those are three sacred sites!
