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

"No one can escape this move; its only drawback is that it consumes too much chakra."

Kimimaro sensed something, paused, and then turned his gaze back to Haneda.

At this moment, Haneda formed hand seals and exhaled a wave of heat—it was Yekura's Scorching Release!

A strong wind, carrying a massive heatwave, swept across the entire icy sea, causing the glaciers to melt the moment they came into contact with the heat.

After a short while, the sea returned to its original state.

Haneda stood quietly on the cliff, looking down at the sea, seemingly deep in thought.

"He's mastered both Ice Release and Scorch Release, as planned, and even the Corpse Bone Pulse..."

Haneda looked down at his palm, which was open, and grayish-white bone spurs protruded from it.

The bone spurs reflected a dazzling luster under the sunlight, their sharpness comparable to that of steel.

“Using the Corpse Bone Pulse too much will damage the body, and it will also cause this if you don’t use it at all.”

"The Immortal Body solved this problem perfectly, and the natural energy was also relieved, giving me a stronger defense."

Haneda's Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) naturally fused with Kimimaro's bloodline through the eye technique Senra Bansho (All Things in the World) in his right eye.

He paid the same price as when he fused with the original cells, but that price has disappeared over time.

Haneda silently recited the command, and a pale blue light screen appeared before his eyes.

[Sage Techniques: White Radiance Technique, Inorganic Reincarnation, Ghostly Appearance, Levitation Technique]

"With such power, apart from a few mysterious beings, no one in the ninja world can rival me."

“But it’s not enough.”

Haneda's expression turned serious as he thought of Kaguya's third child, Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu is the person Haneda fears the most right now.

Obito, who was possessed, could only barely resist, and Black Zetsu probably hadn't even used his full strength at that time.

The "Black Tiger Steals the Heart" technique further dethroned Madara Rokudo.

However, Black Zetsu has one obvious weakness: it must be used for close-range ambushes.

Both Obito and Madara were very close to Black Zetsu.

One was possessed, the other had his heart ripped out by a dark hand.

As long as Haneda is cautious, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

In the sky, a large eagle slid down and finally landed in front of Haneda.

Haneda picked up the note tied to the eagle's talons, unfolded it, glanced at it, and smiled slightly.

Zabuza and Yekura's operation went relatively smoothly.

They have completely taken control of the Star Village, and they have also found clues about the dragon vein in the Land of Wind.

Zabuza and his group have determined that the dragon vein is located in a remote area in the eastern part of the Land of Wind.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

Haneda whistled, and a ship approached from the shore.

He jumped up, with Haku and Kimimaro following closely behind.

"Mr. Haneda, are we going directly to the Land of Bears?" the captain asked respectfully.

"No, let's go to the Land of Waves first," Haneda said calmly.

Since Haneda went to the Land of Waves to carry out a mission seven years ago, the Uchiha clan has taken over a lot of trade between the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire.

Uchiha clan ninjas have been stationed there for a long time.

Haneda has been away from Konoha for two and a half years, and his three-year promise with Kakashi is almost up.

He needs to understand the true situation in Konoha and the current status of the Uchiha clan there.

Especially news about Shisui and Itachi.

Haneda's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is now in the hands of Shisui and Itachi.

He can also take two Kage-level subordinates under his command.

…………

Five days later, a large ship docked at the harbor of the Land of Waves.

Unlike seven years ago, the harbor near Toyohama is much busier now.

Merchant ships of all sizes from the Land of Fire docked at the port, and many cooks from the Land of Waves carried goods back and forth.

In the heart of the harbor, a flag bearing the Uchiha clan crest flutters in the wind.

Many wandering samurai and men with fierce appearances became much more amiable after they looked up and saw the banner.

Since the Uchiha clan settled in, the situation in the Land of Waves has improved considerably.

With the increase in merchant ships coming and going from the Land of Fire, the demand for boatmen and porters increased, providing a large number of jobs.

The presence of the Uchiha clan deterred many lawbreakers, and the security situation in the Land of Waves has improved significantly compared to seven years ago.

Haneda, with Shiro and Kimimaro by his side, stepped onto the stone-paved road.

He looked at the bustling harbor with a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including nos

After a moment, he smiled and said:

"Perhaps a bridge could be built here to connect the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire."

Haku sensed Haneda's emotional shift as he stepped into the Land of Waves and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Haneda has been here before?"

"Yes. I came here seven years ago on a mission."

Haneda glanced down at the Dawnbreaker at his waist, then said in a deep voice,

Everything has changed, both people and things.

"Let's go."

Haneda walked toward the core area of ​​the harbor, toward the police station where the Uchiha clan was stationed.

The area around the police station was very quiet, and people passing by all tacitly kept quiet.

Haneda could see their fear of the Uchiha through their behavior.

Upon arriving at the entrance, Haneda walked straight inside.

The staff on duty at the police station were playing cards and drinking, slacking off without any regard for the consequences.

When they saw Haneda approaching with Shiro and Kimimaro, they merely glanced at them and continued playing cards and drinking.

Haneda couldn't sense any chakra from them, so he guessed they were locals hired by the Uchiha clan in the Land of Waves.

He had no interest in dealing with the affairs of the Land of Waves, and said indifferently:

"Send the Uchiha ninja stationed here to see me."

"Just say it's Uchiha Haneda's order."

The staff did not know who Uchiha Haneda was.

But upon hearing the surname Uchiha, they were terrified. They immediately dropped the placards, stood up, and scrambled towards the police station.

"Lord Haneda, we'll go and inform him right away!"

Seeing this, Kimimaro said coldly:

"Mr. Haneda, shouldn't we teach them a lesson? How can they be so negligent as subordinates of the Uchiha!"

Haneda said softly, "No need. Their laxity just reflects how good the security is here."

Chapter 208 News from Konoha and the Uchiha Clan

Shortly after the staff went in to make the announcement, a ninja wearing a Konoha headband rushed up to Haneda.

"Lord Haneda! You! You're finally going back?!"

The Uchiha ninja looked at Dawn and immediately recognized Haneda, exclaiming excitedly.

Haneda waved his hand, signaling him to calm down.
