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

Haneda quietly felt the energy of nature, letting it spread freely.

He possesses all things in the universe and can merge with natural energy at any time.

Right now, Haneda only wants to carefully perceive the natural energy in order to reduce the consumption of his pupil power.

Suddenly, Haneda's vision began to change.

He arrived at a dreamlike garden.

Inside the garden, the flowing stream is orange in color, and the scent wafting from it is that of orange juice.

Along the riverbank, the flowers in bloom, each petal resembling a streaky pork belly with alternating layers of fat and lean meat.

Under the sunlight, the pork belly was roasted until its skin was crispy and golden brown.

The aroma of the meat made Haneda swallow hard.

Suddenly, a light rain began to fall from the sky, and strands of noodles fell from the sky—it was the familiar Ichiraku Ramen.

Chapter 204 The World of Light Promised by God

"A test for me like this?"

Haneda forcefully suppressed his unruly salivary glands, waved his hand, and a huge fire burned the garden to the ground.

The scene changes again.

He arrived in a vast, empty world.

The surroundings were dark, and apart from a portal of light, there was nothing else in sight.

Haneda smiled and walked towards the light gate.

Above the gate of light, he saw only hope and perseverance.

What is hope?

There's always a way out; as long as he wants to go, the path is right under his feet!

This is hope!

What is perseverance?

The teacher's death, the friend's downfall, the farewell of a dear friend...

Haneda took it all on.

He felt lost and even became depressed.

But his friends and elders always stood beside him and behind him!

Even after all these people had left, Haneda persevered on his own!

As the gate drew closer, Haneda's footsteps grew lighter.

Suddenly, six figures stood around him, blocking his way.

Obito, Kakashi, Sakumo, Fugaku, Asuma, Guy.

At this moment, Obito, wearing a mask and a red cloud cloak, sneered:

“I understand that everything you’ve done so far has been for me, but what do I take you for?”

"On the night of the Nine-Tails, I led you to the Valley of the End. It was also the Nine-Tails that I summoned that caused Minato-sensei to die for love, causing the great situation you created to fall apart at the last moment."

"Don't you regret it? Don't you hate me?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Haneda replied, "Because we are friends, and because I have always felt guilty for not being able to save you."

Kakashi said:

"Then you should also consider the people around you, right?"

"I see you as the sun, the sun that illuminates me."

"On my journey to pursue you, I have met many people and seen a new sun."

"In the end, I lost everything because of chasing you. You were the only sun left for me."

Haneda fell silent.

Sakumo then continued:

"I sacrificed myself for you."

"I have lived up to my ninja way and the will of fire."

"I will teach you swordsmanship and guide you in your cultivation."

"But you haven't changed anything. You even left my son. How can you face the sacrifices I've made?"

Fugakudo:

"My father entrusted me to you, hoping that you would take care of the Uchiha clan."

"But after that night, you left Konoha without hesitation."

Do you know the current situation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha?

"Danzo recklessly suppressed the Uchiha clan, and even my son and outstanding clan members betrayed me because of this."

"How can you face the Uchiha clan who protected you and helped you grow up to where you are now?"

Asma said:

"I regard you as my elder brother, as the person I respect and admire the most."

"But someone like you abandoned me without any hesitation."

"Are you worthy of me?"

Kai said:

"In every youthful showdown, you always throw me to Kakashi."

"Knowing that Orochimaru-sensei was destined to leave, they never chose to change it, but instead exchanged benefits and let Orochimaru-sensei leave."

"Have you really treated me right?"

After Kai finished speaking, they all simultaneously accused him, "Haneda, how could you do this to us?"

Each question elicited a response from Haneda, who remained silent.

He did acquiesce to many things, and he did try to change them.

But in the end, what changed, and yet nothing changed at all.

The light gate, representing hope and perseverance, dimmed, and a thick fog enveloped Haneda's world, making it increasingly gloomy.

Just then, Obito suddenly said:

"Have you forgotten your promise, Haneda?"

"We're friends, after all!"

Obito's words dispersed the mist, and one by one, people emerged from behind it.

Dai, Haku, Kimimaro, Zabuza, Pakura... and the Konoha villagers that Haneda once protected.

"Yoshi! I'm not dead yet, Haneda."

"Mr. Haneda, I will protect you as a tool."

"Only I can protect Mr. Haneda, you idiot!"

"Don't forget the bright world you promised."

"You will change the world and create lasting peace, that's what you said, Mr. Haneda."

"We all survived because of your protection, Lord Haneda!"

……

With each call, the distant portal began to radiate light once more, a light that symbolized hope and perseverance.

Haneda looked at his subordinates, at those he had once protected, and finally smiled slightly:

"As long as I want to go, the road is right under my feet!"

After saying that, Haneda walked past Kakashi and the others, and at Obito's smiling gesture, arrived in front of the Gate of Light.

He looked at the gate before him and made a promise:

"I will return to Konoha in three years."

"Leading the world toward the path of light."

Haneda pushed open the door, and the sunlight shone brightly, illuminating the dark world hidden under the mist.

"Welcome to the world of light promised by God!"

…………

The White Snake Sage watched as Haneda gradually succumbed to depravity, just as she was about to let Princess Tashin and the others come in and devour Haneda.

A pattern of two suns appeared on Haneda's eyes.
