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

Noticing Xiaodi's pitiful, expectant eyes, Yuda said:

"Just bring Xiaodi along."

Haneda helped Deidara break free of the illusion, and Deidara raised his hands, looking delighted:

"Yay! We get to witness Haneda-nii's art again! Hmm!"

Before Deidara could react, Haneda touched his body and instantly teleported him to the battlefield of the Land of Frost.

Jiraiya rubbed his eyes when he saw Haneda and the other two suddenly appear, thinking he was hallucinating.

He recalled that Haneda had learned Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique and couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Just like Minato, flashing around..."

Shisui saw Haneda enter and realized something:

"Lord Hokage, are you prepared to take action personally?"

Haneda nodded slightly: "I am ready to end the war within three days."

"Once Shikaku finishes writing the challenge, I'll send it to Kumogakure."

"Let them prepare food and drink to welcome the king's army."

Jiraiya laughed and said, "Three days? Kumogakure isn't that simple. They still have at least ten thousand ninjas."

"The strongest Raikage and two perfect Jinchuriki will have to fight for at least a while to force them to stop fighting."

“These three are not that old guy Onoki.”

Jiraiya clashed with the Fourth Raikage and others many times, and he could sense how formidable the Fourth Raikage was.

The speed brought by its Lightning Release Chakra Mode was enough to make it difficult for Jiraiya to deal with.

If it weren't for Shisui's Susanoo, Jiraiya would have had to activate Sage Mode.

He used his powerful senses to counter the Fourth Raikage's speed.

Haneda laughed and said, "Then let's see for ourselves, and let the ninja world know what my prime is like."

Kakashi quickly delivered the challenge that Shikaku had arranged.

Without a second thought, Haneda immediately dispatched Root ninjas to deliver this extremely provocative challenge.

Sending this letter, given the Fourth Raikage's temperament, would be no different from sending himself to his death.

…………

Nighttime, at the Cloud Hidden's base camp.

As the Fourth Raikage was handling official business, Killer Bee walked in while singing and rapping:

"Big brother, Konoha has sent an ANBU ninja to deliver a challenge. Bakagaro, Kuruya Shika~"

Upon hearing the words "Anbu" and "challenge letter," the Fourth Raikage asked, "Could it be that Uchiha Haneda has arrived?"

"I don't know, brother."

The Fourth Raikage looked at his sworn brother, who seemed clueless, and secretly shook his head, then commanded:

"Bring the person in."

Upon hearing the order, the guards inside the camp welcomed in the Root ninjas sent by Haneda.

The Root ninja handed over the challenge, simultaneously using kunai to deal with the guards beside him, and charged towards the Fourth Raikage.

"Protect Lord Raikage!!"

"No need." The Fourth Raikage shattered the Root ninja's mask, then grabbed him by the neck and asked,

"Did Uchiha Haneda send you?"

The Root ninja remained expressionless, showing not a trace of fear.

"Lord Hokage knows you'll kill me after reading this challenge, so let me do it to you instead."

The Fourth Raikage slammed the Root ninja to the ground: "Push him down and interrogate him for information."

Killer Bee, looking at the still expressionless Konoha ninja, started singing and rapping:

"Yay, it doesn't seem to be an Anbu member, it's a Root ninja! Baka yarou, Kuruya-shika~"

Just as Killer Bee finished speaking, the Root ninja walked out of the tent.

Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out outside the tent.

Blood and flesh splattered onto the tent, staining it crimson.

The Fourth Raikage angrily slammed his fist on the table, which instantly shattered.

"Uchiha Haneda, you've gone too far!"

After saying that, the Fourth Raikage strode toward the corpse of the Cloud Ninja who had been killed by the Root ninja.

He picked up the challenge letter and glanced at it.

The challenge was short, containing only blatant arrogance and provocation!

Especially the last sentence:

Either surrender, or bring your own rope and prepare to be captured!

The Fourth Raikage had the challenge letter torn to shreds, and he was just about to ask where the Konoha ninja who delivered it was.

But seeing the entrance to the camp stained with blood and flesh only fueled his anger:

"Arrogant! Do you really think Kumogakure is as weak and incompetent as Iwagakure?"

"By the way! Go back to the village and call Yugito. We need to prepare for the decisive battle against Konoha in two days!"

"I want to see what gives Uchiha Haneda the audacity to be so arrogant!!"

Killer Bee rarely saw his older brother so angry; he even stopped singing, dancing, and rapping, and said seriously:

"OK, bro!"

…………

Two days later, at the Hodge Mountains, the ninja armies of Konoha and Kumogakure were positioned on the north and south sides of the mountain range, respectively.

This place was once the battlefield of the Third Shinobi World War, the site that determined the outcome of the battle between Konoha and Kumogakure.

This is also the place where Haneda captured Killer Bee again in the third war.

On the very night the challenge was issued, Konoha announced to the entire ninja world that the Fifth Hokage, the new God of Shinobi, Uchiha Haneda, was preparing to personally lead an expedition against Kumogakure.

He then publicly announced that the Fifth Hokage would end the war within three days.

As expected, the final battle has begun.

Enraged by Haneda's actions, the Fourth Raikage mobilized 70% of the Cloud Village's ninja.

North of the Hodge Mountains, tens of thousands of Cloud Ninja stood ready, awaiting the Fourth Raikage's orders.

South of the Hodge Mountains, only three thousand Konoha ninja were preparing for a decisive battle against the Hidden Cloud Village.

Whether you understand military affairs or not, you are very clear about this.

Judging from sheer numbers, the Cloud Village has an extremely high win rate.

But with Uchiha Haneda around, everything becomes unpredictable.

Intelligence has been gathered from the location of the Fourth Raikage by reconnaissance ninjas:

"Lord Raikage, only about three thousand Konoha ninja have been discovered on the other side of the Hodge Mountains!"

"Three thousand ninjas? Uchiha Haneda is truly arrogant!" the Fourth Raikage scoffed.

However, some Jonin from Kumogakure were very worried:

"Lord Raikage, it was Uchiha Haneda who dared to kill the Third Tsuchikage all by himself in front of tens of thousands of Iwagakure people."

A ninja from the Cloud Village chimed in, "Yes, Raikage-sama, Uchiha Haneda is known as the God of the Shinobi World by Iwagakure."

Seeing the worry among those around him about the final battle, the Fourth Raikage snorted coldly and said confidently:

"I don't understand why everyone is talking about the God of Shinobi and about Onoki."

"It's like the decisive battleground in the Hodge Mountains; it's destined to be a perilous situation for us."

"Seven years ago, our Cloud Village and Konoha fought fiercely, with the Third Raikage pressing Konoha relentlessly."

"That vibrant, flourishing scene is still vivid in my mind."

"No matter how you look at it, the troop strength in the battle is 12,000 to 3,000, so the advantage is on our side!"

Upon hearing the Fourth Raikage's confident words, the surrounding Cloud Ninja immediately became excited.

No matter how strong Uchiha Haneda is, with 12,000 Cloud Ninja against 3,000 Konoha Ninja, the advantage is mine!

The Hidden Cloud Village cannot possibly lose!!!
