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

Suddenly, Haneda's soft voice came from ahead.

"Don't blow up the bridge, Xiao Di."

"Understood, Brother Haneda!" Deidara, unable to defeat Haneda, reluctantly agreed.

He rode the giant bird and flew towards the bridge.

Noticing Haneda's wistful look, Deidara asked loudly:

"Brother Haneda, does this bridge hold any special significance for you?"

Merchants from the Land of Grass and the Land of Fire crossing the bridge looked at Deidara strangely, and even quickened their pace.

Haneda looked at the bridge and the caravan in the distance, recalling the suggestion he had made to Yahiko and the others in the past.

"A lot has changed here too."

Haneda walked along the cement road that ran along the river.

According to my past memories, I can reach Yahiko and his secret base by following the river.

Deidara rode the giant bird and caught up with Haneda.

He looked back at the bridge, reluctant to leave.

"I really want to blow up this bridge...to let the world marvel at my art, hmm!"

…………

Eight invisible eyes were watching this place from the shadows.

Those were the Six Paths of Pain, Konan, and Nagato.

At this moment, Xiao Nan no longer had the smile that used to always be on her face.

She was dignified and majestic, like an angel.

Nagato, on the other hand, was emaciated and sat behind Pain.

"He's already here. Should we go see him?"

Konan watched Haneda's retreating figure as he headed towards the secret base and asked a question.

Pain did not speak, and Nagato remained silent as well.

After a long while, Nagato said:

"No need. We don't belong to the same organization as him. We have different interests and our own positions."

"He was, after all, a Konoha ninja."

Konan bit her lip and said, "Nagato, Yahiko's promise..."

Nagato interrupted Konan:

"I will carry on Yahiko's will and create lasting peace."

“But I am not Yahiko after all, I cannot represent him.”

Inside the cave, Nagato and Konan fell silent.

Suddenly, Nagato spoke again:

"What are you here for?"

Da da da……

A person wearing a mask and a red cloud cloak approached Nagato and Konan as footsteps drew near.

The newcomer was none other than Obito, who said in a deep voice:

"I have found the organization members you need."

Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and Juzo Biwa, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

"Where is he?" Pain asked.

“One is in the land of fields, and the other I have already brought is outside.”

Obito gave Nagato a deep look and offered a reminder.

"Stop doing things that are irrelevant. No matter how many roads you build, you will not achieve peace."

“Such bridges and roads would only become targets of attack during wartime.”

Having said that, a vortex appeared in Obito's eyes out of thin air, and he prepared to leave.

Xiao Nan retorted:

"This road was proposed by Haneda to change the lives of the people of the Land of Rain; it is a road to peace!"

"Do as you please, as long as it doesn't affect our plans."

Obito adjusted his mask and disappeared from Nagato and Konan's sight.

…………

Following the cement road along the river, we arrived at an abandoned house.

Haneda looked at the dilapidated house, pushed open the door, and stepped inside.

At first glance, the walls were covered with large patches of charred black.

There was a large hole in the ceiling above, and rain poured through it, hitting the floor with a heavy thud.

This place appears to have been blasted with explosive tags.

Bai asked curiously:

"Mr. Haneda, you've stayed here before?"

"Hmm." Haneda nodded and walked towards a wall covered with vines.

"Hey ha!" Deidara jumped off the giant bird, passed through the large hole in the house, and landed on the ground.

He noticed the familiar and captivating charred black on the wall and chuckled:

"So this is the house where Haneda-nii lived. It exudes the fragrance of art everywhere, hmm!"

Kimimaro noticed that Haneda was holding a wooden plaque with a white frog on it, seemingly lost in memories.

He said to Deidara, "Can you be quiet!"

"No." Deidara turned his head away and refused outright.

Seeing this, Kimimaro would have given Deidara a good beating if he wasn't worried about disturbing Mr. Haneda.

"Alright, Kimimaro, Deidara, this will liven up the atmosphere a bit."

Haneda put the frog-shaped wooden sign back on the one with Yahiko's name on it.

He walked to the door and said to Kimimaro and the others:

"Let's go."

"So soon? Brother Haneda! I'll stay a little longer, just to linger a bit, okay!"

Deidara noticed that Haneda was preoccupied and offered some words of comfort.

"No, I already know they don't want to see me."

Haneda opened the door, preparing to go out.

Suddenly, he sensed the chakra of the Explosion Release and looked back.

A bunch of clay spiders were constantly being spat out from the mouth on Deidara's palm.

"What are you doing, Xiao Di?"

"Blow this place up! Let the place that saddened Brother Haneda become a fleeting beauty!"

"That way, Brother Haneda won't be sad anymore, hmm!"

Upon hearing Xiaodi's explanation, Yutian's lips twitched.

If Demiurge really blows this place up, Nagato and Konan will definitely not let him get away with it...

Haneda snapped his fingers, and countless thousands of birds flew out, piercing the clay spider.

"I'm leaving. This place holds great significance for me."

Chapter 219 Loulan Ancient Sites

Haneda made one last trip to Amegakure.

Nagato possessed a ninjutsu that allowed him to sense the entire Amegakure village—the Rain Tiger Free Technique.

This technique allows chakra to be infused into rainwater, and Nagato can sense anyone who touches the rain.

Haneda knew this, so he spent some time in the Land of Rain.

However, Nagato and Konan still did not appear.

Haneda was absolutely certain that they had no intention of seeing him.
