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

"I'm terrible at being a dad."

Naruto comforted him, "It's okay, Dad. As long as you're with me, I'm already very content."

Kushina remembered something and reminded her:

"Naruto, be careful, it's your friend Sasuke."

"Huh?" Naruto looked at Kushina in confusion.

Kushina forced herself to explain:

"That's right, his feelings for you are a bit unusual... You'd better keep your distance from him."

Minato said, "It's normal for children not to understand these things. Haneda will teach them in the future."

Kushina smacked Minato's head several times, then, without saying a word, had Haneda seal his chakra.

Watching his father disappear as his mother was being beaten, Naruto looked at Haneda with confusion and bewilderment:

"Why did Mom hit Dad just now? And why did Mom tell me to be careful not to cause trouble?"

"Mingming Sashi is my best friend."

Haneda tapped his chin with his fingers, thought for a long time, and replied, "Maybe Sasuke considers you his best friend."

???

Naruto was even more confused:

"Is there any difference, Uncle Haneda? Sasuke and I consider each other to be best friends."

"Speaking of which, it was Sa Shi who told me first that I was his best friend."

Haneda didn't know how to explain, so he pointed at Kurama and said:

"He lived a long time and knows a lot. If you still don't understand something, just ask him."

After saying that, Haneda led Naruto away from the mental space.

Of course, before leaving, Haneda didn't forget to cast an illusion to warn Kurama.

The scene before me changed again, and I was back at Fugaku's house.

Sasuke noticed Naruto opening his eyes immediately and asked with concern:

"So, Naruto, have you managed to condense chakra yet?"

"Oh no? I forgot to ask Mom and Dad how to do it. I'll have to trouble you to teach me again."

Naruto was a little frustrated; he had been too busy chatting with his parents in his mental space.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke's lips curled up slightly.

Before he could speak, Haneda laughed and said, "Try again, Naruto, it should work now."

"Is this okay, Uncle Haneda?" Naruto always trusted Haneda, so he tried it out and began to gather chakra.

Before Naruto could complete the chakra refining technique as taught by Sasuke, red chakra was released from his body first.

Naruto was surprised to discover that he could manipulate chakra and perform different forms of transformation.

Seeing this, Haneda smiled and thought to himself that Kurama was indeed a proud and aloof fox.

He only asked Kurama not to interfere with Naruto's chakra.

As a result, Kurama gave away its chakra itself.

Naruto shouted excitedly, "I did it! It's great! Uncle Haneda!"

"Hmm, not bad," Sasuke said casually.

He glanced back at Nii-san, wondering if Itachi had taught him the wrong thing.

But why can he himself gather chakra?

strangeness……

Could it be that my constitution is different from Naruto's?

Chapter 270 Danzo: It's fake! It's all fake!!

Thanks to Shikaku's organization and Asuma's vigorous propaganda, news of Haneda's personal expedition to Kumogakure and his capture of the Fourth Raikage and two Jinchuriki spread throughout Konoha.

Capturing the Fourth Raikage and two others is almost equivalent to capturing the entire upper echelons of Kumogakure.

This was incredibly encouraging for Konoha, which had been in a state of constant war.

This also means that Konoha's wars against foreign powers have all ended, and Haneda, as the Fifth Hokage, will maintain a long-term peace.

However, it is counterproductive.

Another piece of news spread quickly: Haneda had executed the daimyo, the ruler of the Land of Fire, for treason.

Ordinary people, after reading the newspaper, found it both outrageous and yet reasonable.

The daimyo was sending supplies to the enemy country without compensation, betraying the Land of Fire and even more so Konoha, which was fighting against the Hidden Cloud Village.

They read through all the contents, including the minister's interrogation and the revelations made by the Hidden Cloud Village itself.

An anger arose spontaneously; his name was unworthy to be the master of the country.

On the contrary, it is the Hokage who charges to the front lines for the Land of Fire who should lead the Land of Fire!

The third-generation leader, who had been retired for a long time and was spending his retirement with the Tibetan people, also learned about this matter thanks to Asma's vigorous promotion.

He suddenly had a sense of absurdity. Had he been too subservient to the daimyo before?

During the Three Kingdoms period, people from Daming Prefecture secretly traded supplies and made huge profits.

These supplies include ores, food, various finished weapons, and intelligence trading, among other things.

In order to achieve final victory, the third generation turned a blind eye to the filth in Daimyo Prefecture.

If we had confronted them head-on back then, perhaps...

The third generation leader shook his head, feeling that he had acted too impulsively.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha defeated other ninja villages one after another, and even in the most dangerous period, it only managed to fight two against one.

If Haneda does something like this, it will definitely provoke the wrath of all countries, and the war is not over yet.

However, Haneda dealt with Kumogakure first, and Iwagakure had already been rendered useless by Haneda.

The remaining two, one from Sunagakure and the other from Kirigakure, were both persecuted by the Daimyo and were far inferior to Konoha in strength.

Didi didi! !

Suddenly, the alarm clock rang.

The Third Hokage knew it was time to prepare dinner for Danzo.

…………

Evening, Konoha Prison.

After Danzo finished weaving the red towel, he began preparing winter clothes for Hiruzen.

He held the needle, opened his only remaining left eye wide, and, using the last rays of the twilight from the window, threaded the needle through the gap in the yarn.

Da da da……

The familiar, rhythmic footsteps drew closer, and Danzo knew immediately that Hiruzen had come to visit him.

He put down his needlework and, dragging his increasingly thin body, brought a chair for Hiruzen.

After the jailer opened the cell door and let Hiruzen in, Danzo asked in a deep voice:

"It's been three days. How is that naturally evil Uchiha brat, Haneda, doing?"

"Has the war in Kumogakure ended?"

Danzo gets angry whenever this is mentioned.

How many troops and how much supplies are needed to wage a large-scale war?

As a former leader of the Roots, he knew all too well.

Even if it's a blitzkrieg, it would still take thirty-six days, right?

That inherently evil Uchiha brat was just as overconfident as a former five-star general!

Danzo said angrily:

"They finish a war in three days and then boast about it. Do they really think war is like playing house?"

"He's supposed to be a ninja who participated in the Third Shinobi World War, yet he's so arrogant!"

"Konoha is doomed sooner or later under his leadership!!"

The Third Hokage felt a mix of emotions as he looked at his old friend's exasperated reaction to his friend's lack of ambition.

Even though Danzo was imprisoned, he still cared about Konoha.

However, he remained as obsessed with Haneda as ever.
