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

He looked intently into Obito's eyes, and after a few seconds, he gave Obito's little head a sharp tap.

"Hey, what are you doing~ you bastard Haneda!" Obito glared angrily at Haneda.

"It's nothing, it's just that you're so good at hiding your tears, I couldn't help but want to punch you."

"What kind of divine power can't hide tears... Baka! You just want to hit me!!"

……

Haneda and Obito caused a ruckus for a while, then threw themselves at Minato:

I will keep my promise to you.

"The Hokage?" Minato asked.

"more or less."

"Alright, although I don't know what the future holds, judging from An Lushan's words, you will become Hokage."

"bless you."

Before parting, Minato used a technique to seal his memories, and the space-time tunnel was fully opened.

Haneda took one last look at Obito, recalling their conversation at the Valley of the End three years ago.

"I will take you back."

“Bring back reality from the hell you speak of.”

"You will return to your childhood self, forever that innocent and kind child who always talks about his dream of becoming Hokage."

"Oh, Bito."

…………

When Haneda and Deidara woke up, the sky was still the same.

Haku and Kimimaro stayed by Haneda's side.

At this moment, Queen Sarah of Loulan entered and rebuked:

"You shouldn't have used the power here!"

Haneda glanced at Sara and thought to himself that she had indeed forgotten everything.

He glanced at Sarah's people behind her.

Unlike six or seven years ago, there are far fewer.

"If you can make good use of this power, your people will also live happily."

"gone."

Haneda walked past Sara, and Shiro and Kimimaro followed.

Deidara, who had just woken up and was still muttering about his senior, very sensibly conjured up a large clay bird.

Haneda and his group stepped onto the giant bird and left the Loulan ruins.

Sarah watched Haneda's departing figure with a puzzled look, but she always felt that this young man would achieve something great in the future.

After Haneda and the others had completely left, Sara checked the seal on the dragon vein.

Seeing that the seal was intact, she boarded the caravan with his people and continued her wanderings in the Land of Wind.

On the clay bird, Yekura asked curiously:

"Mr. Haneda, how is your Dragon Vein Project going?"

"Hmm." Yu Tian nodded slightly, glancing back at the receding Loulan ruins.

"I've achieved everything I expected. There were some problems along the way, but they're insignificant. I've also decided on the path I want to take."

"Revolution?" Ye Cang asked subconsciously.

"This is merely a means, not an end."

Haneda then addressed Deidara, who was sitting in front of the clay bird.

"Fly towards the Land of Fire, Dee."

"Konoha, right, Haneda-nii?"

"No, I'll go to the border first. I have something to tell Ye Cang. We'll probably be separated there for a while."

Yekura overheard Haneda and Deidara's conversation and knew that she was about to have another mission.

However, having spent most of her life in Sunagakure, she had become accustomed to carrying out missions.

"Do you still remember Dawn's primary objective?"

"To achieve peace in the ninja world?" Yekura had heard Haneda mention this before, and he remembered it clearly.

Haneda shook his head:

"The wars of this era are coming to an end, and a brief period of peace will follow."

"Even if we do nothing, we can still live in peace."

"But that's not enough. I've missed something important."

Yekura, Shiro, Kimimaro, Deidara, and Karin all looked at Haneda simultaneously.

Haneda said:

"To bring happiness to the people under rule."

Hearing Haneda speak of happiness, Shiro, Kimimaro, and Karin reminisced about the past.

Bai escaped hunger and loneliness, wore beautiful clothes, and made new friends.

Kimimaro was no longer alone, no longer wandering aimlessly; he had a goal in life.

Karin was no longer alive as a reserve blood medical kit; she and her mother left the hellish life in Kusagakure.

Haneda did indeed bring them happiness.

They were willing to follow Haneda and continue down this path.

"But achieving such an ideal is easier said than done."

Unlike Shiro, Kimimaro, and the other children, Yekura's experience taught her that achieving these things was almost impossible.

But she was willing to follow Haneda.

At least Haneda has a clear direction, which is closer to happiness than staying in the same place.

The clay bird continued flying towards the Land of Fire.

Having passed the border of the Land of Fire, Yekura left the group with her own mission and headed to the Land of Bears.

The large bird continued on its journey, and before it knew it, it had arrived at its destination—Konoha.

It was getting late, and light snow was falling.

Snowflakes fell on the Hokage Rock, causing a thick layer of snow to accumulate on the statues of the Hokage below.

In the distance, streetlights illuminated the snow-covered road.

The shops and restaurants on both sides were still open, with pedestrians coming and going intermittently.

Moonlight shone on Haneda's young face as he stood on the Fire Shadow Rock, gazing at the myriad lights of homes beyond.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by, lifting Haneda's black cloak.

The young man was suddenly filled with emotion:

"It's just a little bit of wind and frost."

(End of this volume)

Chapter 225 The night of returning to the village, a clan meeting is held!

On this moonlit night, the Hokage Building is brightly lit.

The Third Hokage was busy with his work when Danzo pushed open the office door and rushed in anxiously.

Upon hearing the familiar yet hurried footsteps, the Third Hokage knew that Danzo had entered.

He finished processing the documents first, then looked up at Danzo:

"Has something major happened in Iwagakure? Or in Kumogakure?"

Danzo shook his head and remained silent.

His gaze fell on the Hokage Rock outside the window, and the Third Hokage followed Danzo's gaze and saw a black figure.

At this moment, Haneda was quietly watching the village.

Danzo said in a deep voice:

"What do you think we should do? He's already back."
