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

When Tobirama asked who would cover the rear, he hesitated, while Hiruzen decisively volunteered.

Danzo punched the screen, shattering it into pieces on the ground.

"Back then, I should have been as decisive as you, Hiruzen, and never hesitated!"

"But why is it that you are now the same as I was back then, and I am the same as you were back then, Hiruzen!!"

…………

The Land of Water, now known as the Village of Blood Mist, is located across the sea from Konoha.

In the dark and gloomy basement, an old man with his back connected by wooden pipes sat in a chair with his eyes closed.

Until a black and white humanoid creature emerged from the ground.

"What outstanding successors have emerged in the Uchiha clan now?" Madara asked in a deep voice, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Black Zetsu naturally knew what Madara wanted to ask, and it replied:

"Uchiha Haneda and Uchiha Obito."

"Two, not bad," Ban commented casually, then asked,

What is their current situation?

Black Zetsu recounted all the intelligence he had gathered.

When the information that Haneda and his friend Kakashi had teamed up to kill a Jonin was revealed, Madara smiled.

“His talent qualifies him to inherit the Eye of the Moon Project.”

"But he is both clever and foolish, and will not wholeheartedly work for me."

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu immediately flattered him, saying:

"Lord Madara, that's because Haneda doesn't understand your great and lofty ideals!"

"Only someone as great and noble as Lord Madara could understand and attempt to achieve true peace!!"

Madara ignored Black Zetsu's flattery and asked again, "Where is Obito Uchiha?"

Black Zetsu then gave Obito a detailed account of his situation.

At this moment, Ban smiled again.

"His love was deep enough, whether it was for his friends, his lover, or his village."

"Great love is the prerequisite for the Uchiha to awaken their Sharingan."

"Only when you lose this love will you truly understand its preciousness and comprehend this dark world..."

"Then try to change the world."

Author's Closing Remarks for Volume 1 and Answers to Some Questions from Readers

If you're not interested, just skip it; it won't affect the plot.

…………

The pacing of the younger episodes is relatively slow, and they prioritize logical consistency.

Regarding the original character designs, I sacrificed a small number of characters to create hatred.

For example, Asuma, I think he's definitely not a bad person at heart. As for mocking Kakashi, I attribute it to love, that is, not wanting to lose face in front of his beloved.

Of course, I could replace him with an unknown minor character, but that wouldn't attract too much attention from the Third Hokage.

Novels generally follow a structure of introduction, development, climax, and conclusion. The White Fang arc is the introduction, attracting the attention of the Third Hokage, Danzo, and the Uchiha clan.

The subsequent plot will be designed around the political struggles among the upper echelons of Konoha.

For example, later on, Haneda came into contact with the Uchiha clan leader and Fugaku.

After that, Danzo, out of fear of White Fang and the Uchiha, made various underhanded moves against Haneda.

Finally, the story concludes with a sudden event: the assassination of the Third Hokage.

The assassination's timeline is moved forward by a few years, but that doesn't matter. I wrote at the end of the first chapter that I would modify some timelines to ensure the smoothness of the plot.

In setting the stage for the assassination plot, I appropriately arranged for Kai to come along.

At that time, the words that Kai said when he challenged Haneda were the same words he said when he challenged Kakashi in the original work. The time was very close, and the timeline was basically the same.

The subsequent encounter with Dai, sparked by Guy, flows smoothly. Guy's interest in Haneda, triggered by his victory over Kakashi, is also reasonable.

The reason for contacting Guy and Dai, besides the similar timeline, was probably to find a bodyguard for the protagonist and also to make up for the regrets of Naruto.

I originally didn't plan to include the later storyline involving Haneda and Tsunade, but inspiration struck, so I added it in.

(Actually, the author was just padding the word count to reach 100,000 words for the volume, so as not to affect the completion rate, cough cough...)

Just then, a power struggle was taking place among the upper echelons of Konoha, and Tsunade was assigned to help, which led to the events that followed.

Then it's a summary of the protagonist's gains, with a touch of shock at the end.

However, I didn't write it very well. I was too tired that day. There were some flaws in chapters 47 and 48, but it's not a big problem.

The only regrettable thing about the whole story is that many readers skipped the final battle between Haneda, Kakashi, and the Root Jonin.

Emmm...

I spent a full two and a half hours designing this battle!

It references the original work's Team 7 vs. Zabuza; the rest is a combination of psychological warfare and previously established strength.

(Note: The chapter on shocking events provides a detailed explanation.)

As a result, I saw in the backend that many readers had switched books, which left me speechless...

It seems everyone likes the idea of ​​being semi-invincible and one-hit kill.

However, I personally think this battle wasn't as boastful as the part I wrote about on another site; it was full of twists and turns.

The main problem is that the protagonist's strength doesn't allow it; otherwise, he would have gotten beaten up like Sasuke, haha.

Let's talk about conspiracy theories, specifically the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group.

Personally, I accept conspiracy theories; after all, the facts are there, and conspiracy theories explain these things quite well.

However, I didn't portray the third generation as particularly bad. I depicted him as politically indecisive, wavering, and lacking vision.

Simply put, it's stupid.

The Dark Lord of the Ninja World, also known as the 5.5th Nabekage Shimura Danzo, was a typical radical and paranoid figure. Although that's what he said, he did all sorts of bad things.

Mitomon is extreme but relatively rational.

Koharu Utatane, a dove, is, after all, a woman and a medical ninja, so she is somewhat gentle.

Originally, I wanted to write the last two as stupid, but after looking at the information, I found that Kishimoto had a pretty high opinion of them, so I designed them as two different concepts, which just happened to make the Third Hokage try to smooth things over.

By the way, I've also written history, so I have some understanding of political struggles.

Don't tell me I don't know anything.

(PS: On a certain platform, the historical novel had 116 first-time subscribers, but I couldn't continue writing it at the end of 23, so I had to stop. I have to say, history is really hard to write.)

Now that you've read this far, you should have a general understanding of my creative process.

Changes caused by high-level personnel influence the protagonist's actions, thereby creating conflict and establishing enemies.

The most brilliant move was using her best friend. Xiao Ke was passive from the beginning, being drawn into the struggle between Yuan Tai and Yuan Gui.

This is the highest level.

The conflict arises when the gods of the Night faction clash with those of Adam's faction, drawing the protagonist into the fray.

Next is the church...

Ahem, I've gone off-topic. If you're interested, go check it out yourself.

In short, in my next chapter, I plan to continue the storyline from the younger chapters, using the schemes of Black Zetsu and Madara to drive the protagonist's actions.

In this process, I will gradually reveal the darkness of the ninja world through a series of events.

The protagonist also gradually grows from a passive pawn to the player who wields the pieces.

Towards the end, I'll probably kill off one or two characters to allow the protagonist to grow stronger quickly.

This is not only about strength, but also about mindset.

The main storyline thus unfolds.

(That's right, there's no main plot at this point in the story; it's all the author's doing.)

Below are answers to questions that readers may have.

1. Is there a female lead?

No need to think about it anymore. There are only a few female characters who have appeared so far, and they don't appear very often. In fact, there are practically none.
