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

Obito stared into those eyes for a long time before turning into a vortex and disappearing from the courtyard.

He didn't step into the house once, not even once.

When he reappeared, Obito stood on the Hokage Rock, looking down over the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

His gaze moved constantly, from the Uchiha clan compound to the Ninja Academy, then to the Hokage Building, and finally settled on the guesthouse.

A leaf flew by silently and was caught by a hand wearing a black glove.

Obito picked up the leaf and looked at the hole in the center of it.

Through the leaves, he saw the edge of the Hokage Rock, the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and his past memories.

What is a true dream?

Obito's memories were pulled to the Valley of the End.

A voice that had only appeared in my dreams for the past few years echoed in my ears once again.

"Why don't you get out of the way?"

"Because we are friends."

The timeline of the memories zooms out again, bringing us to the moment when Haneda succeeded as Hokage and then became the leader.

Those were the two five-year plans that Haneda had promised.

At that moment, he fulfilled his promise and made Konoha great again!

"This place is still hell..."

"But there are always people trying to turn this place into paradise."

"Let's see how it goes in ten years, as you've set out."

Obito stared at the guesthouse for a moment, a vortex appeared in his eyes, and then disappeared.

This time, he left Konoha for good.

…………

On the other side, after Pain and Haneda finished discussing their cooperation, Pain, led by Haneda, arrived at Konoha Prison, the place where Danzo was being held.

In order to strengthen Pain's perception of Konoha, Haneda decided to hand over Danzo, one of the masterminds behind the tragedy of Yahiko and the other two, to him.

Now that the Root ninjas have been almost completely depleted, all the researchers are wholeheartedly following their lord.

Danzo's value is already dwindling; he might as well use his remaining time to contribute to Konoha.

Pain entered the prison and made his way to Danzo's cell.

In the cell, an old man with only one eye, his right eye wrapped in bandages, and his right arm missing, sat listlessly in the corner.

"Who is he?" Pain felt that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recognize him.

"Danzo, the old devil of the Shimura clan, was one of the masterminds behind the deaths of Yahiko and the original members of Akatsuki."

"Shimura Danzo?!" The usually indifferent Pain was suddenly filled with a burning rage.

He stared directly at Danzo, his murderous intent completely undisguised.

"He's also from Konoha. Are you going to hand him over to me?" Pain suddenly calmed down and asked Haneda.

Haneda smiled calmly: "No, he is a sinner. He has been expelled from the Shimura clan and has been designated a rogue ninja by Konoha."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Danzo's eyes regained a glimmer of clarity, and he looked up at Haneda:

"You inherently evil Uchiha brat! My eyes have seen through your genjutsu!!"

"When Hiruzen arrives, I will definitely kill you in the Forest of Death!!!"

Upon hearing this, both Haneda and Payne showed strange expressions.

They looked at Danzo, who was gripping the iron bars of the cell and screaming desperately, then silently looked away and exchanged a glance.

Payne spoke first: "Has he gone mad? I didn't sense any illusions, and this isn't the Forest of Death."

Haneda didn't know how to reply and fell silent.

Aside from occasionally uttering a few words about Danzo the old devil, he hadn't paid any attention to him for a long time.

Chapter 296 Amegakure and Konoha Form an Alliance!

At this moment, Shisui said, "Lord Hokage, Danzo went mad half a year ago. He believes that you cast a genjutsu on him, and that everything he sees is fake."

"Crazy?" Haneda looked at Danzo, who was still hysterically cursing him, and said pitifully.

He used a gust of wind to cut the lock and open the prison door.

Danzo rushed toward Haneda, but was grabbed by the neck by Pain.

Payne asked, "Should we kill him?"

Haneda said, "He already belongs to you. It's up to you to decide. Consider it a gift for the eternal peace between Konoha and Amegakure."

Upon hearing Haneda's words, Danzo looked into Pain's eyes. They were the Rinnegan, the eyes of a sage, something he had once longed for!

"So it was you! So the inherently evil Uchiha brat has already met with you and even formed an alliance!"

"Bah! He's truly born evil! He actually collaborates with Konoha's enemies behind their backs!!"

Pain looked at Danzo quietly, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was very pitiful.

But he didn't stop, slamming him hard against the cell door.

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

Pain reached out, and a nail from the prison door flew into his hand.

Payne, with a nail between his fingers, aimed at Danzo's head.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

The nail pierced Danzo's skull in an instant, ending his sinful life.

Looking at the corpse of his enemy, Pain remained silent for a moment before saying:

"This will be a bridge for friendship between Amegakure and Konoha."

"From this day forward, the hatred between Amegakure and Konoha during the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars is hereby absolved."

"Amegakure and Konoha have formed an alliance."

…………

To avoid arousing Madara's suspicion, Pain refused Haneda's offer to stay and left Konoha directly.

The moment he left Konoha's sealing barrier, he sensed something and was instantly summoned to a cave.

That was where his true form was hidden. Xiao Nan was also there at the moment, staring at the eyes beneath the yellow tiger-skin mask.

Nagato Asamaru reported:

"The cooperation between Amegakure and Konoha has been finalized, and Uchiha Haneda has agreed to it."

Upon hearing this, Obito nodded slightly: "I already know. I've been watching you."

Nagato's gaze sharpened; even with his Rinnegan, he couldn't sense Madara watching him at all...

Madara is indeed a mysterious, evil, and powerful enemy!

In order to prevent Madara from noticing Konan's secret actions, Nagato said:

"Uchiha Haneda also sent some people to assist with this matter, including an important figure from Konoha."

"Deidara, the direct disciple of the Third Tsuchikage, and half a disciple of the Fifth Hokage."

Obito said nonchalantly, "He's just a kid, nothing to worry about. Send Sasori over to be with Deidara."

"Sasori?" Nagato and Konan both showed strange expressions. Madara must know about Haneda's hatred for Sasori...

Sending them there, if Haneda finds out, wouldn't that be tantamount to sending them to their deaths?

Obito glanced indifferently at Nagato and Konan, and said:

“Uchiha Haneda is not a petty or short-sighted person. He has great ambitions and will not take action for the sake of the greater good.”

After saying that, Obito's eyes swirled, and he left the cave, leaving Nagato and Konan staring at each other repeatedly.

Konan said, "What should we do, Nagato? If Haneda finds out where Sasori is, I guess... he's the kind of person who always seeks revenge."

"Back then, once Haneda had enough power, he couldn't wait to kill the Third Tsuchikage..."

Nagato said, "Haneda is a person who considers the big picture, and Madara will probably be keeping an eye on Sasori, so let's leave it at that for now."

"By the way, Shimura Danzo, no, that old devil Danzo is dead, he died at my hands."

"Danzo the Old Demon?!" Konan looked at Nagato with a mixture of doubt and surprise.

“Yes, he has been expelled from the Shimura clan and condemned as a criminal by Haneda,” Nagato said with a smile.

…………

Konoha.

After informing the Third Hokage to collect Danzo's body, Haneda left the prison and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at a mine outside Konoha.
